"HERE WE ARE today to celebrate these heros for saving the world" the man's voice booms into the microphone. A weak smile tugs at my lips, I stay far back in the freshly vaccinated crowd. "They risked their lives to save ours, and today we are here to thank them.. and offer our gratitude"

I was scared of just how many of them would walk out, what if it was just one? All I wanted was to see Tommy, Wilbur, Techno.. Jack! It'd be amazing if I got to see Jack cured, a real living human. I just want my kids back..

"Dan, take your goggles off, they'll make you look silly in front of the people that saved us" a woman nudges the man next to me, she takes her sun hat off, probably to honor the people that saved the world.

"Oh, Jemma you're right" the man known as Dan takes the goggles off his eyes and rests them on top of his head. He giggles and smiles at her. "Though, I bet they'd love my goggles.. there coming back in style"

As much as the (assumed) couples conversation was sweet and reminded me of my wife, it felt as if it was their own conversation and I tuned it out. I looked up at the stage and continued to listen to the man's ramble. I took off my hat to honor the ones that would soon walk out.

"And without a further a do...our heros!"

Only three walked out, and as I prayed it was my family, it made me realize I may have been a terrible person to wish death upon others, so, I let a few tears slip from my eyes as I smiled at the three heros.

Y/N, Techno, and Ranboo.

Ranboo was a friend of Tubbo's, I knew Tommy didn't like their trio in the beginning, and whenever I would drop him off at Tubbo's place and Ranboo would be there, I would always have to warn him to be nicer.

I watch as the man places a medal around each of their necks.. and when they lift their heads to smile at the crowd, I wave, I wave my hand frantically, wishing and hoping they would catch my attention.

But it never happened.

"Here we start a new day, thanks to these three heros!" The man motions to the three next to him, he steps away from the microphone, giving the stage to one of them.

Y/N steps up. "Uh, hello everybody" she smiles and shrugs a little. The people around me cheer, throwing their hands into the air, higher than my one that was waving, begging to catch their eyes. "Y-yes.. yes thank you" she nods. "Thank you for the cheering, but I feel as if we don't deserve this. Because we had people along the way that helped us, and they sacrificed and lost their lives so we could live.. they are the ones that deserve this" she steps back from the mic and waves Ranboo over.

"Like they deserve anything.." the man to my right scoffs loudly, I glare at him.

"They deserve more than you, that's for sure.." I mutter. He looks down at me, his green eyes pierce into mine, they shine.

"Excuse me?" He grins. "I don't think you know who I am.." his face was full of scars, cuts, bandages, of course I knew who he was.

"XD, who wouldn't know that evil face of yours.. don't forget who gave you the money to start your business. My wife is gone thanks to you.." I ball my hands into fists. "She gave you that money because she thought you'd become something great"

"I did" he replies.

"You did something that caused the population to decrease by 37%, XD" I roll my eyes. "Why are you even here? Just to insult the people who were able to take you down?" I scoff.

"Y'know, I didn't want to become the bad guy.." He whispers.

"But you did" I look away from him, a smile returning to my face when I see Y/N's small nod of reassurance towards Ranboo.

"And.. and I'm sorry for that"

My eyes widen slightly, I see out of the corner of my eye that he lightly pushes through the crowd to escape. I would never truly forgive him until he vowed to make a change.

Ranboo slowly walks over and leans down a bit to reach the mic. "H-Hi--" the mic squeaks. "I'm Ranboo, I was, uh.. not really helpful if I'm gonna be honest, so please don't cheer for me. Techno found me alone in the lab and calmed me down when I was having a panic attack, I wasn't myself yesterday.. and however long I was under control of XD, after he calmed me down, I kinda just told him the ingredients to the cure, I'm not so special.. but you don't have to be special to make an impact to a person's story, right?"

Everyone cheers and Ranboo's small giggle is picked up by the mic before he backs away. The two look at Techno, he smiles and steps up to the mic.

"Halloo" He chuckles. "Uh, thanks for givin' me an opportunity to speak guys, this is pretty cool I guess.. being in front of a ton of people who love me?" His smile falls. "It.. it reminds me of my-- a guy named Philza, or Dadza.." He looks at the crowd. When I heard my name, I froze. "He was a real great guy, though he sacrificed himself to save the ones he cared about.. and, that was why I thought he was such a great guy. Maybe-- maybe this quote will sound a bit stupid, I mean-- cringe.." He laughs, I stifle back a laugh since the crowd stayed silent. "He was like.. a candle, he let himself burn so others could see light" He lifts his head up at bit, and all the way, no matter how far I was from that stage.. I saw his eyes lock onto mine. "And that was why I loved him"

I pushed through the crowd, not caring about the grunts and shouting, I shoved past them, my hat being gripped tightly in my hand. I saw Techno hop down from the stage, everyone stepped out of the way for him. I lost sight as soon as he matched the height of the crowd, but just as I push another person out the way, I see Techno again. Tears well up in my eyes, a small, high, breath escapes my lips. He inhales and runs at me, his arms extended into the air, I copy him. "TECHNO!" I laugh.

"PHIL!" He throws his arms around me and lifts me into the air. "I thought you died! Oh, Phil, you made me say all that cringy stuff when you were right here! You've gotta be kiddin' me.." He laughs, letting me down gently. "Phil.. you're alive"

Y/N and Ranboo soon come to our side, everyone in the crowd watching us reunite. "Phil! How'd you survive those zombies?" Y/N asks, dumbfounded.

"The crows saved me.. it was as if they didn't want to lose me, so they sacrificed themselves just so I could live another day" I let go of Techno, hugging Ranboo and Y/N. "I.." I sniffle. "I missed you guys" I chuckle and wipe my tears. "Awh, come on.." I cover my tear filled eyes with my hands.

I lift my head when I feel an arm around my shoulder. "Let it out Phil.." Techno sighs, taking my hat from my hand and placing it atop my head. "We've got a whole new start ahead of us-- so don't be cryin' for to long!" He jokes.

"Yeah.." I laugh, smiling at the three of them. Techno hugs me tighter with one arm. "But.. I'll always remember.. I failed our family, I failed to protect them.." I sob. He leans down to my height and smiles softly.

"No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again"

I look to the sky, then at the three smiling at me, my friends, my family. "Then let's start our new beginning" I nod, they nod back.

"Together"
