Wilbur examines the posted note on the board in the hall. A competition by the local millionaire teen, who called himself Mr. Beast, for a $2500 Taco Bell gift card. Just a few months before, he had announced he was going to try and get Dream, the big-shot son of the principal who picked a lot of fights, (he also won those fights, though, so at least he put money where his mouth was) to go up against Technoblade, who was a quiet guy that recently was revealed to be able to deck someone without a moments hesitation. That someone being George, though he definitely deserved it. Dream and his pals had been pushing Techno around for ages, and George decided to take one last jab at him before they left, the other two having turned their backs and started walking away. Techno grabbed his hand mid punch and decked him, eyes blank. He had then shook out his hand, rolled his shoulders, and walked away casually. Dream had immediately took Mr. Beast up on his offer, but no one could seem to talk to Techno about it. Every time someone walked toward him, he turned and walked away. It didn't help that everyone was absolutely terrified of him, even before he decked George and knocked him out cold. Partially because he was 6'3 and never seemed bothered by anything nor did he speak, and partially because he wore a mask over the lower half of his face. And if they had learned anything from Dream, if they wear a mask they're probably dangerous. The mask itself was nothing special, just a soft pink with a pig's snout on it, but Techno wore it with such pride the world would probably blow up if someone took it. He didn't have any known friends and only seemed to tolerate three people; Tapl, Fruit, and surprisingly, TommyInnit, Wilbur's loud mouth friend. With George and Sapnap not wanting to go after Techno again, they had turned to trying to bully Tommy. They had barely touched him before Techno had stepped between them, expression blank but eyes deadly. They never interacted other than that, but Tommy never stopped bragging about it to the friend group. "Technoblade, THE Technoblade, protected me! From Dream! Can you believe it!?" He hadn't done it for any other of the latest Dream victims. Why had he helped Tommy? No one knew.
Except for Wilbur. 
You see, notice how Techno didn't have any KNOWN friends?
Well, Wilbur and Techno, while entirely ignoring each other in school, were constantly talking to each other on their phones, or when Techno would sneak over after dark to hang out. When he saw Tommy, Wilbur's annoying but loved friend, getting bullied, he knew he couldn't just let it happen. Back to the challenge at hand though; he immediately texts the group chat with his friends; "Everyone meet in the clubhouse after school. It's about the new competition"

He reads the copy of the poster out loud; "Basically, it's a Music competition!" He sums up, "We can sing, write a song, play an instrument!" 
"Sounds fun!" Tubbo chirps.
"I'm game!" Fundy nods.
"Count me in." Eret smiles.
"Well... only because of Taco Bell!" Tommy decides.
"I wish I could make it, but my sister has a dance recital that my parents are forcing me to go to that night." Niki sighs. She gets some sympathetic pats on the back.
"The required number of people in the group is five, so we still have enough people! I'm sorry you can't come Niki, maybe next time?" Wilbur smiles, and she nods enthusiastically.
"Next time, I wont miss it for the world!"
They practice together for the next week, Niki helping Wilbur write lyrics. 
Wilbur would sing, Tubbo would play the guitar, Fundy was on the piano, Tommy was playing drums, and Eret was in charge of the violin and back up vocals.
However, on the last day, something horrible happens.
Eret gets in a fight with Dream, causing him to be suspended for a day. He wouldn't be allowed to play in the event, as it was a school event.
"I'm so sorry guys, it's just... he tried to pay me off. He told me I could 'join his group' if I did badly on purpose. I just... I got so angry! I would never, you know! But... I can't play in the end now anyways... I am so, so sorry."
"Eret, it's okay!" Wilbur pulls him into a hug. 
"No it's not! you guys need five people! And violin players aren't easy to come by, no offence..." Eret sighs.
"I... I have a friend. He might be willing to help! Well... Tubbo, I don't suppose you could make more of those cookies could you?"
"Oh! Uh, sure! You really liked them last time." He comments as they start the walk to Wilbur's house, Niki and Eret sharing their grief of not being able to attend together.
"Well, they were good but~ my friend is the real fan."
So there they were, hanging out at Wilbur's house while Tubbo pulled the cookies out of the oven. Wilbur pulls out his phone.
"I need your help."
"You want me to play the violin for the challenge because Eret got suspended and can't."
"Yeaahhh..."
Three dots appear as the other starts typing.
"Tubbo made cookies!" the three dots, supposedly saying 'no, absolutely not, no way' disappeared as he backspaced.
"I'll be there in five minutes with the violin. You have to explain my presence to them though!"
"Deal."
He grins at his friends.
"We have our fifth member. He'll be here in five."
And sure enough, five minutes later the doorbell rings. Wilbur opens the door and Techno darts past, already grabbing like five cookies by the time Wilbur gets back into the room. Everyone was staring at him in shock.
"These are mine now."
They all look at each other then back at him.
"Jesus your voice is lower than Erets!"
He shrugs, mouth full of cookies. He had took his mask off to start shoving them into his mouth.
"Everyone, meet Techno. Our violiner."
"Violinist, Wil." Techno corrects, taking more cookies.
"You know Techno? Like personally?"
"Why else would I have saved your annoying ass, kid?"
"Hey! Tubbo and I are ONE grade younger than you guys!"
"Sure. Wilbur, you said you'd explain."
"Yeah so like, five years ago it was raining like CRAZY, remember? And I saw Techno walking to the bus stop from his old school, and was like, 'he's going to die.'-"
"Technoblade never dies."
"Oh, shut it Techno, you asked me to explain! Anyways, so I walked up and walked by him with my umbrella to shield him from the rain, until we got to the bus stop, and he went 'thanks I guess. Here's my number if you wanna talk' and we've just been friends ever since."
"You left out the 'You're Phil's friend, right?' that I said before thanking you."
"Eh, details details."
"By the way, great cookies, mini Wilbur-Phil."
Techno grabs another cookie and Tubbo can't help but smile.
"I'm glad you like them! My name is Tubbo, it's nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too. Alright, Eret right? I'ma need the sheet music for the violin."
"I almost forgot! Techno, you play the violin!?" Fundy exclaims.
"Yeah. Best instrument, mind you. Do you know how many people I could wack over the head with it before it broke like a shitty guitar? At least two. And if I added a knife to the end of the bow, I could use it as a ranged knife. That's like, at least 20% better than a normal knife!"
