Finally, we all clock out for the day and walk home. I didn't have to deal with any Karens today which was nice, but Toby did, so he complains about the entire walk. Walking into the apartment, I grab my phone off the counter. Turning it on, dozens of notifications pop up.
5 missed calls - Bee Boy
2 missed calls - Ranboob
15 messages - Beee Boy
"Ha! Toby you weren't kidding! I have like 20 messages from you this morning." I laugh happily at his concern,
"Well when you're stuck at work and think someone could've died it's the best option you have idiot!!" He shouted, Mark's laughter lightly flooding from the kitchen.
"OI! Stop laughing you ass!" I shout at Mark,
"Haha... Sorry you two are so dumb sometimes I can't!" He breaths, still laughing
"Whatever, this is why me and Toby are better than you!" I shout at them, running up to my room. Mark's tall, so he can run pretty fast, but I have a head start now. If we were in a fair race though, I'd come in dead last.
I can hear Mark and Toby both running up the stairs after me. "Ugh you guys always team on me!" I complain, opening my window. A light breeze rustling papers in my room.
"Well maybe if you weren't always targeting Mark I'd team with you!" Toby shouts from his room,
"Oh come on, you always play favorites bitch boy!"I argued, hearing something hit the ground in the room next to mine. They're rushing to catch up. I'm the first to get out of the house this time. I drop out of the window, spreading my wings out. This time I'll win for sure. I nabbed both of their lock pics and hid the key in my shoes so it'll take a while to find them.
We have a few rules to this game: 1- Whoever runs first picks how you have to leave the house, I always go through the window so they have to get into my room and go out the window. 2- No cheating or foul play, and especially no weapons 3- Whoever wins gets to pick where we go for dinner and the person in last place has to pay.
I'm usually last or second, so this head start is what I need to win. I really want to win this time. I haven't been able to choose in forever. We have to make it to Toby's parent's house on the set route, no shortcuts, to win the race. We could walk there blind at this point.
I get about half a mile out and Toby comes on the ear piece, complaining about how I should be considered a cheater. Apparently Mark had to teleport into my room and took forever to find the key so he could let Tubbo in. Oh right, I forgot to tell you about our nicknames! Tubbo is Toby, Mark is Ranboo, and I'm just Tommy, or big man innit as I prefer. Laughing I argue that it's not cheating, only using my wits and resources.
Ranboob's going to be my biggest competition in all of this. The tall bastard can teleport up to 2 miles in any direction. Tubbo's house is only 10 miles away so we put some limits on his power usage. They can only teleport 1/4th a mile every 2 minutes. I also have limitations and rules, so that way Tubbo has a fair chance at winning. I fly faster than they walk, so I can only fly for 3 to 4 minutes before I have a "cool down", as Ranboo calls it, for a minute.
After a minute or two, Tubs comes over the earpiece again to tell me I have to drop down and walk. As I drop into an alley close by, I notice that it's surprisingly quiet, even for night time. Kinda weird, but nice. I think to myself. I break away from the thought as Tubbo comes over the piece again, this time cheering and laughing. Looking behind me I see Ranboob's tall arse trailing behind me. Oh come ON! That means Tubbo isn't far behind either.
Just as his cheering ended, Toby tells me I can go back to flying again. I leap up in the sky and absolutely gun it. Ranboo's time is up though, so he teleports in front of me, luckily I'm faster in the air than he is on foot. I gain on him quickly, shouting down to him that I've bested them.
Snickering, I crash into Toby's parents yard. "Take that Ranboob!" I shout at the two approaching me. " I FINALLY get to choose dinner!" I brag.
"Ran... You suck" Tubbo says, "And Tommy, you should be considered a cheater. There should be more of a limit on your guys powers, it's not fair." He states firmly.
"Hey! That wouldn't be fair to me! I'm usually last or second! You're just mad I beat you dumbass." I argue, knowing what I say is true.
"Whatever... Lets just go inside already" Ranboo says.
Walking inside Tubbo shouts for his mum, asking if he can take the car out for dinner.
"Sure!" Someone replies from the kitchen, though it's not either of Tubbo's parents.
It's his cousin Puffy. "WOMAN!!" I shout at her, "What are you doing here??" I immediately question.
"Toby's parents went out for a bit. Asked me to house sit for them." She replies, "Oh yeah, who won this time? Mark I'm assuming." She asks, laughing.
"UH NO!" I shout, "I won for your information!"
"Wow! Congratulations, though, Toby, I would suggest not walking into the kitchen with your suits on. I don't think your mother would like to know you're out there playing heroes" She remarked,
"Oh, come on. If you were really concerned you would tell them." He replies, rolling his eyes.
Turning around I tell Tubbo where I want to go for dinner, as I do he groans. "That's SO far away though, AND I have to pay, ugh." He complains, calling me a bitch.
"Just be better next time king. Maybe you'll win then." I laughing.
"I mean it has been a while since we've gone there, plus maybe Niki's working tonight." Ranboo chimes in.
"I'll pay for you guys if you drive!" Puffy says smiling.
"Ugh fine. Just get in the car already!!" Tubbo says, giving into our pleads.
