I stood outside my house, waiting for Tommy to meet me. Today was election day and everyone was on edge. Wilbur and Tommy were in power, but I feared this was all gonna change. I was pacing back and forth when I heard Tommy's voice behind me. 

"(y/n), are you ready to hear the results?"

"No, we're late by the way."

"Better than George, he probably won't even be there," Tommy said, continuing to walk past me. 

I followed him to the town center where everyone was standing. 

"Look at who showed up!" I heard Dream say. 

"Get up on the podium Tommy, they're waiting for you."

Tommy waved at me, then headed off to the podium while I stood with Dream and Niki. I was about to ask Dream where George was when I saw Wilbur come out on stage. 

"Hello everyone. In my hand, I have the election results. In third place, Fundy and Niki. In second place..." Will paused. "Swag 2020."

I rocked on my feet, looking Wilbur in the eyes. Something seemed wrong.

"And In first with 45% of the popular vote.... pog 2020."

"WILL WE WON!" Tommy yelled.

I was about to start clapping when Will spoke again.

"Not so fast Tommy. Although we won the popular vote, Schlatt 2020 and Swag 2020 combined their votes, meaning they got 46% of the vote together and therefore Schlatt is your new president."

"What?" Tommy asked, stepping back.

Schaltt and Alex stepped up to the microphone while everyone came back down to the general population. Tommy and Will came over while Schlatt prepared to give his speech. I ignored him and turned to Tommy.

"Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine, I'm just pissed. How does that make any sense, Schlatt got like none of the votes."

"I know Tommy, I know."

I gave him a hug and I was about to say something when I heard Schlatt start speaking louder.

"My first decree as president is to REVOKE the citizenship of Wilbur Soot and Tommy Innit!"

"WHAT?" I heard Niki yell.

"Tommy, Tommy run! TOMMY RUN!" Wilbur exclaimed as the two turned and took off.

I was about to run after then when Dream grabbed my arm.

"Dream let me go!"

"No, I'm sorry."

I tried to pull away from his grip, but Dream held tight.

"Dream. Let. Me. Go."

"I can't do that. I'm not going to let you ruin yourself by going off with those pitiful men."

"DREAM, DON'T TALK ABOUT THEM LIKE THAT!" I yelled, letting tears fall from my face as he grabbed my other wrist.

"Tubbo, I want you to find Tommy and show him the door," I heard Schlatt say from up on stage.

"(y/n), look at me. It's gonna be okay."

With tears streaming down my face, I collapsed into Dream and let it out. My brothers, they were gone. The only family-like people I had here.
