That One Fated Night

Chapter 11 - The Act

Tubbo's discord server is wild man holy shit
———————————

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang, the whole family immediately acted as how they did a few weeks back, Tommy screaming, Wilbur screaming, Tubbo confused, and Phil, giving up on the family.

"Halloo! It's me. Let me in." Techno said from the other side of the door. (i had to choose between hey nerds and halloo)

Tommy looked towards Wilbur, nodding.

He looked at Will, mouthing 3 numbers, while showing it up with his hands.

"3." Tommy positioned himself.

"2." Wilbur grabbed the door handle.

"1." Tommy got ready to sprint.

"0!" Wilbur threw the door open, with Tommy running out, nearly throwing himself onto Techno. 'Nearly.' Techno sidestepped. Thus, Tommy are dirt. Literally.

Techno stared at the sight, lightly chuckling. "Well, at least you tried." Wilbur walked out, patting Techno on his back, walking to pull Tommy up.

Tommy groaned. "Why did you do that, Techno? That hurt!"

"Why did you even decide to do that?"

"Because, it would be a different variation from how we normally greet you?"

"Well, it was certainly different."

———————————

The group walked into the house, with Tommy lagging behind, trying to get the taste of dirt out of his mouth.

Tubbo brought a small cup of water over to Tommy, in which he grabbed it and downed the whole glass, then spitting it into the sink.

Afterwards, the family gathered around Techno expectantly. Techno always brought something for each of them whenever he came to visit.

Firstly, he pulled out a little light red bandanna with a black blob on it. On closer inspection, The centre of the black blob was hollow and had purple and white stripes. He gave it to Tommy.

Secondly, he pulled out a small guitar keychain. It was obviously imbued with something. Definitely stolen from another charmer that also played the guitar. Wilbur hid his slight expression of fear as he took it, smiling, and fiddling with it. As he held it up to the light, it sparkled, and played the soft note of an 'E'.

Thirdly, a small red heart pin was fished out of his pocket, the heart having two dark red strokes on it. He handed it over to Phil, who pinned it onto his chest.

Lastly, another bandanna was taken out, this one, on the other hand, instead of being red, was green, with a small bee on it with shiny silver lining used for the wings. Tubbo's mouth contorted into a small 'o' as he fiddled with the shiny parts of the bee's wings.

At that, Techno walked over, nudging Phil. "Sooooo, where's my room?"

"Ah, right, your room is right next to Tommy and Tubbo's."

Techno nodded, thanking Phil, as he gripped the staircase's handrail.

————————

As Techno walked into his room, signifying it with the slam of his door, Tommy looked over to Phil.

"Why does he have to stay next to Tubbo and I?"

Phil raised an eyebrow. "Because that's one of our only guest rooms that isn't overflowing with magic? He'll figure it out too quickly if he goes to another room. Besides, you didn't have any complaints when he last visited."

"That was because I didn't know he would kill me literally!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that part."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YO-"

Wilbur slapped a hand over Tommy's mouth. "Too loud."

Wilbur removed his hand, leaving Tommy to rub the area where he was slapped, while glaring at Will.

"Alright, it's 7pm right now. I'll start preparing dinner while you three keep Techno busy. Deal?" Phil asked.

Tommy and Tubbo nodded, Wilbur hesitating, before agreeing as well.

"Alright! Have fun boys!" Phil said, walking into the kitchen.

Tommy looked at Will. "So what's the plan?"

"Act like how you normally do."

"Oh, ok sure. I can do tha-"

"Like a dipshit."

"-at. HEY WHAT THE FUCK WILBUR I AM NOT A-"

"Ok! Let's go!"

Wilbur grabbed Tommy's arm, dragging him up the staircase, with Tubbo lagging behind.

Wilbur knocked on Techno's door. "Who is it?"

"It's Wilbur, and the children."

"Oh, yeah sure, come in."

Wilbur opened the door to Techno simply sitting on his bed.

10 Minutes Later:

"Techno, I want you to scream as loudly as you can."

"aaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaa"

"pfff HAHAHHA"

"That was one time ok, I can only do those once per month."

Wilbur observed this interaction with amusement. One would never tell that this guy with one of the best supernatural hunters in the area.

Suddenly, Tommy's phone buzzed.

"Who was that?" Techno questioned.

"Just a friend."

"Oh? What's their name?"

"Sapnap."

Wilbur inwardly facepalmed.

Techno's face darkened a bit, before going back to his bored demeanour again.

"Oh. Ok. Cool."

Tubbo noticed the atmosphere of the room, strolling over, and plopping himself next to Tommy.

Suddenly, Phil's shout from downstairs signified that dinner was ready.

The group shot up, racing to the stairs.

What they saw when they reached the bottom floor was not pretty.
