Day of the election.
(Y/N)'s P.O.V.
My breathing was unstable and not idea, I could tell from Tubbo's look of concern, and I could tell that I was about to cry from the fact that my vision glossed over. "Are you ok?" Tommy asked, putting a shaking hand on my shoulder, snappy me out of my thoughts.
"I- I'm fine, you?"
"I'm fine." He said back.
"Tubbo, you?"
"I'm guessing the election doesn't go as planed, huh?" He gave a sad smile.
"Whatever happens, (Y/N), Tubbo, you to have to stick together, no matter what, promise?" Tommy made us promise, pulling us both in for a hug, and laying his chin on top of our heads.
"Promise." I muttered.
"But you'll be with us too, right?" Tubbo asked hopefully.
"We'll see." Tommy buried his face on the tops of our heads, before someone came in. Wilbur.
"Hey, you three, we have to be up there in a few minutes, you guys good?"
I pulled away from Tommy and Tubbo, giving them both a reassuring smile. "We're okay, I'm ready when you are." I turned to face Wilbur, "Mr. President." I gave him a salute.
"Good good, so... I'll call your name when you need to be up there." Wilbur nodded towards me, before telling the boys something something I couldn't hear over the ringing in my ears from the stress building up again. "Alright, let's go, I'll call you later, 'kay?" Wilbur confirmed.
"Alright." I nodded, my voice faltering a tad.
"See you later." He nodded towards me.
"See you."
A few minutes later
"(Y/N) is here with the results, (Y/N)?"
"I'm here!" I walked up from behind the candidates, taking my place beside Wilbur, my leather purse swung behind me, and a book in my hands. Wilbur nodded, ruffled my hair a little, and walked to where I was sitting. I choked back some tears, knowing this is one of the last interactions I will have with the man. "Thank you, Wil." I nodded, taking a deep breath, wiping a tear that had formed away subtly. Tommy had caught the action, looking down and away.
"I have the votes." I stated again, turning to face the audience of Eret, George and Tubbo. I took a deep breath, and opened the book, with Tommy's scuffed handwriting scrawled across the page, detailing every event that we planned. "With 9%, and 20,000 people... is Coconut2020." I stated, turning to the two candidates, Niki and Fundy. "Con- Fundy- how did you turn into a human-"
"I was wondering when someone would mention this. Even my own father didn't." He grumbled, glaring at the tall man.
"Oh shit." Wilbur muttered awkwardly, looking away.
"Oh with enough willpower, this morning, Fundy came to me as a man with fox ears." Niki shrugged.
"Alright... congrats, Fundy and Niki." I nodded hesitantly.
"Thank you! Yeah!" Fundy cheered rather happily.
"Hehe... yeah! Last place!" Niki cheered awkwardly with him.
"Yeah! 20,000 people voted for us!" Fundy continued, "don't know where you got 20,000 people, but cool!"
"Don't ask," I chuckled genuinely.
"Yeah! The pity voters!" Quackity called from beside me.
"Big Q! Be nice!" I scolded, before turning back to my book, wincing a bit as I saw who was next, "Alright, so, with 16% of the votes, coming in at third place, Schlatt2020." I announced.
Schlatt took a deep breath, like a gasp, but with less sound.
"Now that's a surprise..." Eret muttered from below.
"That-" I felt tears coming again. Not now. "That leaves two parties left." I finished. "In second place, with 30% of the votes..." The crowd hushed over in anticipation. "SWAG2020." I nodded a brief smile flashed over my face, knowing who truly won. "In first place, that means, with 45% of the votes, POG2020." I finished. Wilbur seemed really happy, but kept it in.
"But." Tommy reminded me, holding back his own tears, which the others took as tears of joy. My heart dropped at his words.
"Yes Tommy, I was getting to that." I took a deep breath, as a tear involuntarily fell down my cheek. "On a random night, two days ago, Quackity and Schlatt came to us, the planning comity, consisting of me, Wil, Tommy and Tubbo, and made a coalition." I nodded solemnly, knowing I can't change the story line, and took yet another deep breath, feeling like it's the nth time I did it this night. "Quackity said, no matter what, he would pile his votes with Schlatt2020. And-" I stopped myself, feeling the tears fall down my cheeks. I looked down, as the tears dripped onto the floor. I looked back up. "And their vote count came up to be 46%, beating POG2020 by 1%." I finished, turning away and giving both Wilbur and Tommy a big hug quickly, before running away, not wanting to hear the lines. Tubbo stood up, knowing what was going to happen.
Earlier that day
Tubbo's P.O.V.
"Tubbo," Schlatt looked to me, where I was adjusting my hat.
"Yes Schlatt?" I asked.
"If I win, I will be kicking Wilbur and Tommy out."
"Wait what?"
"And I will be taking down the walls."
"Schlatt slow down-"
"And I want you, should we win, to hunt the bastards down and kill them, got it?"
"Schlatt-"
"I said, got it?" His voice was dark, and it made me jump a little.
"Yes, Schlatt." I nodded hesitantly, wincing at how pain clearly in my voice.
Later down that timeline
"Tommy! Tom- Tommy!" I shouted after the blond, with a disk in my hand, and some potions in my inventory, and a little fish that Eret gave me, a fish that was named Phukkitt that I thought got killed.
"Huh? Oh! Big T!" Tommy turned around with a wide grin on his face, happy to see me.
"Hey Tommy," I stopped in front of him, breathless.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Can we go listen to Blocks?" I asked, nodding to the bench perfectly to the right of us.
"Yeah, yeah sure, what's up?" He asked, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the bench. We sat down, watching the sunset yet again as we waited for the election announcement to start.
"Here," I said, dropping two potions of invisibility, and two of strength, with the fish. "I want you to have these, in case anything goes wrong."
"I- Tubs, thank you." Tommy stuttered with a thankful nod.
"Take care of Wil for me, if things go wrong." I added.
"Take care of (Y/N) for me then." Tommy added too.
"Deal." I nodded, "And take care of Phukkit for me too."
"Deal." Tommy smiled, holding out a hand for me to shake. I did so with a smile.
Present day
I watched the girl's silhouette disappear in the distance, as the entire audience watch her in shock, and Tommy taking a step back silently without anyone else noticing, with his hand over his mouth, eyes filled with tears. Silent, choked sobs escaping his throat. No one else noticed. No one but me. What... was going to happen?
"Uhm.." Wilbur cleared his throat. "Schlatt, would you like to say a few words?"
"O-oh, yes, yes I would." Schlatt snapped his eyes to the taller man. "I would like to." He nodded, stepping up to the mic in the middle. His pedestal, if you will. While Wilbur, Tommy, Fundy, Niki, and Fundy went down into the audience seating. "Well..."
Tommy muttered something under his breath in a mocking tone.
"That was pretty easy." Schlatt said, and Tommy rolled his eyes, his foot tapping anxiously over the cobble, and his hand over the small circle on his wrist to access his hotbar and inventory. The man continued with his speech, and I got more anxious by the second. I understand why (Y/N) couldn't watch and ran away, now. I was fucking terrified in my seat, I just... couldn't kill Tommy, or Wilbur. They were family to me. I was snapped from my thoughts my the man's words.
"You listen to me... this place will be a lot different tomorrow. Let's start making it happen. My first decree, as the president of L'Manberg- the EMPEROR! of this great country-! Is to REVOKE the citizenship of WilburSoot, and TommyInnit! Get 'em outta here! Get 'em outta here! You're no longer welcome!"
Tommy pressed the button on his wrist, snapping the bottle of invisibility into his hands, and grabbing Wilbur by his wrist, guiding him into L'Manburg, to where I dug a tunnel for them to escape in. I had to go too. I need to escape Schlatt too, I chugged my potion as the crowd gathered to chase the pair down and kill them. I slipped off into the walls, before Schlatt's booming voice called again.
"Ugh you let them get away, where are they?" I heard the man ask, stopping in my tracks as a voice replied.
"They had potions of invisibility." I narrowed my eyes at the voice, why- why was it Fundy? I shook my head, I needed to go aft-
"Tubbo- where's Tubbo? where's Tubbo? Oh and where's (Y/N)? Where is she?" The goat man's voice called out.
"I'm right here... (Y/N)... I dunno." I called back.
"Tubbo- get- get up here! Get up here on my podium!"
"Uh- uh..." I looked to my hands, which I saw right through. I was still invisible.
"C'mon Tobbo, you're the Secretary of State."
"Wait- what- Okay... Wa- I'm Secreta- am I?"
"Yeah I think- I think that's... I think he's always been that, I don't know..."
"Uh, yeah... yeah that's- I didn't know I got to keep-"
"Well I'm not gonna fire you! I mean you're Tubbo! What- am I really gonna fire Tubbo"
Each passing second, I get more and more nervous. "Uh... okay."
"Tubbo get- Tubbo get up here. Now."
"Um- I'm- I'm actually currently- uh- okay, I'm on my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way!"
"I don't think he wants the job!" Quackity gasped dramatically.
"Get up here now!" Schlatt demanded, I felt my breathing labor as I stood by the lake, looking down into the tunnel underneath. I can just jump in there now... but.
"I do want the job! I'm on my way- I'm on my way- I'm on my way!" I turned on my heel, feeling the pain fill my chest.
"Tubbo come on..." ...It was... Eret? Isn't he on Schlatt's side? Isn't he the bad guy?
"Tubbo...? You want the job...?" My eyes widened at the figure, leaning on at the gate of L'Manbrug, arms crossed, her eyes narrowed, and her voice softer than it ever had been before. (Y/N). I don't know how she knows I'm here, but I ran past her.
"I need to... I'm on my way- I'm on my way- I'm on my way President. I'm on my way- I'm on my way- I'm on my-" I stuttered running around when (Y/N) somehow grabbed my shoulder, and gave me a bucket of milk. She gave a reassuring nod, and a gentle smile.
"I'll make us some time." She said quietly, slipping off. "Schlatt, I heard my name, sorry that I ran off... anyways, what's up?" She asked as she appeared from behind the walls, into the plaza in front of the podium.
"Ah... (Y/N), how are you today?" Schlatt asked.
"My dad and brother just got kicked out of their home, so my day has been pretty shit." She shrugged, "How about you?"
"I just got power over this entire country, so I would say... pretty well."
"Cool cool, what's up?" She repeated her question.
"I would like for you to become my treasury of state."
"I..." She took a small step back. "I would like to-"
(Y/N)'s P.O.V.
I was quite stunned by the question. I can't accept it, it's just not right.
"I would like to-" I made up my mind, I can't accept.
TommyInnit whispers to you: Accept it. We'll be fine, we found Pogtopia, come visit soon :))
I smiled a little as my eyes begain to water again. "I would like to accept." I said finally.
"Good." Schlatt nodded. As if on cue, Tubbo appeared by my side. "Ah Tubbo, so good to see you."
"Ah..." Tubbo chuckled awkwardly.
"Yes sir, there he is." Schlatt smiled.
"Good day Mr President."
"Tubbo, (Y/N), get up here! Tubbo, (Y/N) get up here! Take my- take my spot at the podium!" Schlatt told us quickly, and I grabbed the hesitating Tubbo by the wrist and dragged him up the hill to the podium. "I love these two!" Schlatt expressed excitedly.
"Okay... Schlatt...?" Tubbo laughed nervously, while I just stayed quiet, holding the boy's hand nervously. I was shaking, I could tell by the way he held my hand back tightly.
"Ohh my very own Tubbo and (Y/N)... Tubo and (N/N). As my Secretary of State and Treasury of State- as my two right hand men; of L'Manberg... I need you to do something for me Tubbo and (Y/N)." Schlatt cooed.
"What Mr President...?" I held my breath as Tubbo's start to quicken.
"I need you... to find Tommy. And I need you... to show him the door."
--------------------
