You Can't Save Everyone. (TNT Duo)

ch.2

   Quackity sat on his couch scrolling through TikToks on his phone. Wilbur had texted him earlier today saying he was going to come over at about 3 pm. He said it was an "emergency". So, here Quackity was, bored as hell waiting for wilbur to come over.

  A few minutes later, wilbur knocked on the door. "coming!" Quackity said, standing up and walking over to the door. Then, he opened it. There wilbur stood. "Hey, Q." He said, his voice a bit shaky. "What's up wilbur?" Quackity asked, immediately noticing the shaking in wilbur's voice. "can I come in..." Wilbur replied, his hands shaking a bit as he opened the door wider. "Of course..." Quackity said, moving to let him in.

   He nodded his thanks and walked in, sitting on the couch. Quackity sat down next to him. "So what's up...?" Quackity asked, a bit nervous. Wilbur looked down like he was thinking if he should tell Quackity or not. "I... Kind of opened one of Dreams enchanted books that gives time travel powers... And when it supposedly gave me the powers it felt like it was killing me... I don't know what happened. What do I do...?" Wilbur asked, as if Quackity knew the answers to everything. Quackity was silent for a moment, processing everything he just said.

  "ok, first, why the fuck would you open Dreams book. Of all people?" Quackity asked, sighing and leaning back.

  "I... Was curious?" Wilbur replied, questioning himself too. "curiosity killed the cat." Quackity warned. Wilbur seemed a bit nervous now. "you think I'm going to die?" He asked, his voice cracking a bit. "What? No, im just saying- uh-" Quackity couldn't find what to say. He didn't want wilbur to worry more.

  "but what do I do?" Wilbur asked. "Do you have the book?" Quackity said, tilting his head. "Of course-" "why the fuck- after what it did to you you still have it?" Quackity interrupted, putting a hand on his face. "Yeah...? I wanted to know how to time travel." wilbur replied, "and maybe... You can too. With me. Together." wilbur finished. Together. That word with Quackity and wilbur made Quackity's heart flutter. "What if its a trick?" Quackity asked.

  "Pfft! Come on, XD gave dream the power to revive through a book! This can't be any different. I read some of this book and I know how to now. But I won't do it unless we do it together." wilbur says, leaning forwards. There's that word again. Together.

  "fine..." Quackity sighed. Wilbur smiled and stood up. "ok, come on. Stand up." he said, reaching down and gently grabbing Quackity's hand. Quackity blushed a bit but it wasn't enough for wilbur to notice. Quackity stood up and fake smiled. He didn't really like time travel, especially after Karl. And, Quackity liked life how it was. He didn't want to change anything. It was perfect. Why would wilbur... Oh. Quackity knew the reason wilbur wanted this power now. And Quackity didn't like it for multiple reasons.
