New friends?

It was late afternoon, but the sun was as bright as always.

I lived alone with a few friends, in the middle of the woods. We had built a few buildings, surrounded by a wall. I was busy with rebuilding a big hole in said wall.

The federation had found us the other day. Their army had blown up our wall and set many of the houses on fire.

How they found us? I had no idea.

I finished filling the wall, as I spotted the silhouettes of two people in the wood.

Who were they? Did the federation send new sodiers?

I hurried to one of the damage buildings, where our co leader aka my best friend helped to repair the damage.

„Fallon! I need to talk to you."

He turned towards me.

„Hey, Yuu! What's the matter?"

I took his arm and dragged him behind me.

„Come with me, I'll tell you on the way. And take your sword with you."

He smirked and said: „You know I always have it with me."

I giggled and we left the bordered area through a big Gate. I knew he liked looking forward to a fight. He had always liked to fight.

„Now, where are we going?", Fallon asked curious.

„I spotted two unknown people in the woods, i think the federation might have sent them."

For a second i spotted a slight impression of surprise on Fallons face, but it disappeared as fast as it appeared. 

‚Weird' I thought to myself, but I decided to put that thought behind for now and concentrated on the strangers again. It was weird. It didn't match up with what we knew about the federations strategy. They never sent two groups in a row that fast after the other. Above all, they wouldn't sent just two people, they would've sent a bigger group of minimum ten soldiers. They knew we weren't that easy to defeat.

We reached the location where i had spotted the two guys before. They still stood there, it were two boys around our age, one was blond with a white streak in his hair and wore a white T-Shirt with red details, the other one had brown hair, which curled around a pair of goat horns and wore a green shirt.

The blond one walked back and forth while his friend tried to calm him.

„Calm down, Tommy. You don't know if it really was Dream who brought us here, he would have shown himself by now, if it was him, woudn't he?"

Tommy stopped walking and turned towards his friend.

„Or maybe, he wants us to think exactly like that, Tubbo. So he can attack us, when we don't expect is, so it's easier for him to beat us when we're unprepared. Just, be careful, okay?"

He sounded furious while he talked about that Dream guy. I had never heard that name before, neither the other two names.

I wispered to Fallon: „We're not attacking them. They don't seem like a threat, maybe they are just lost and need our help. Be prepared if they should attack us, but don't hurt them."

He growled annoyed. He wasn't happy about not getting his expected fight. But if we just attacked everything that moved, we wouldn't be better than our enemies.

I took my sword and sneaked towards the two boys, Fallon directly behind me. Suddenly he stood on a stick and it cracked.

Alarmed, the two boys turned around and got out their swords. The one named Tommy shouted: „Hey, come out, we heard you!"

I turned angrily to my friend. „Fallon, you idiot!", then i turned back around and showed myself to the boys.

„I don't want to fight, we just want to know, why you're near our base."

Fallon cut me up: „Did the federation sent you?" and held his sword up.

Tommy returned Fallons deathstare. „What the hell are you talking about?! Federation? Base? Did you fall on your head or something? Are you working with Dream? Tell him to come in person if he wants something from us."

That was not going to end well. It was a mistake to provoke Fallon. They looked like they were going to kill each other any second.

Fallon stepped closer to the blond and hissed: „Shut your mouth, you want to fight?!"

I grabbed Fallon and said with a warning voice: „Fallon, calm down, they're not our enemies! We have enough trouble with the federation, I don't need you to make more enemies!" 

He still looked furious, but he stepped back. I turned towards the two strangers. „So, to put it to the point. We don't know anyone named Dream. We don't want more fights than necessary. And you two seem to be lost, so you could go with us to our base, until you find a way back to where you're from. My name is Yuu and that douchebag's name is Fallon."

Fallon asked in disbelief: „You let them stay with us?! Are you crazy? We don't even know them!"

„Then we'll get to know them, they don't seem to be a threat to us and we need everyone we can get. You don't know, when the federation is going to attack again. What if they are to strong for us the next time. We can't defeat them for ever."

„You're the boss, do what you want, but don't say i didn't warn you."

I rolled my eyes and asked the others: „So? Do you want to come with us?"

Tommy opened his mouth to anwer, but Tubbo was quicker: „Yes, we'll come with you!"

„What?!"

„Think about it, Tommy. We are stuck here. You want to sleep in the woods?"

After they finished discussing, Tommy gave in and they came with us.
