"So what happened?"
It was the following day in which Niki, y/n, Tubbo and Tommy had been waiting patiently for Quackity and Wilbur to get back from their attempt to trick Schlatt. They waited just out of hearing range, behind a nearby tree.
"Bad news, Schlatt's found out about the TNT. We need to get back to Pogtopia, now," Wilbur explained leading the way.
The six of them ran as fast as they could until they reached the familiar sign.
——
They walked through the secret entrance to the ravine, which wasn't so secret anymore, and saw the walls covered in wooden buttons.
"Oh no, this doesn't look good," Tubbo uttered as they glanced around.
"You don't think these do anything do you?" y/n asked, a frown furrowing across her brow.
"Well, I guess we'll have to find out," Wilbur manically pressed all the buttons.
"Wilbur stop!" Tommy urged.
"They don't do anything," he decided.
The six of them stood in silence for a few moments.
"So what happens now?" Quackity asked, gulping nervously.
"I'm not going to blow it up... yet," Wilbur explained.
They all breathed a sigh of relief, but a thought crossed y/n's mind.
How could they go on like this?
It was a long carry on, but something had to happen soon. Chaos had been stirred an something was around the corner.
Or you could say, it was simply right in front of them.
——
After a while of contemplating and wondering, a familiar man wearing a green hoodie and a mask approached them, stopping their thoughts in their tracks.
"Hey Dream, what's up?" Wilbur greeted instantly.
"Everyone, listen up," he began without any hesitation, "I made a deal with JSchlatt."
"You what?"
"I made a deal with Schlatt. I can't tell you what the deal is, or what the book said, but you should prepare yourselves well. There's going to be a war," Dream explained
"Huh?" y/n and Tommy asked in unison.
"So what side are you on?" Wilbur questioned him.
"Now, I'm only doing this to make it a fair fight, but me, Sapnap, George, Karl and a few more will be fighting on behalf of Schlatt, but only to make it fair," he replied.
"So this is the war for L'Manburg?"
"Yeah, if that's what you want to call it. Wilbur, you've still got my full approval of your plans," Dream turned to Wilbur and he nodded.
Pogtopia broke into a loud chatter as everyone started to discuss the situation.
"Guys, beware," Dream announced, "There is a traitor among you."
That was the last that Dream said. He stayed in Pogtopia and watched as they chaotically questioned each other and tried to figure out who the traitor was, and who was on each side. Everyone shouted over each other.
——
"I really don't know, maybe we should figure it out another time," y/n sighed.
"Wait. What about Fundy?" Tubbo suggested.
As if on cue, a pair of furry, orange ears appeared from underneath Pogtopia (ah yes, welcome back to another episode of wattpad miracles).
"Fundy?" Niki questioned, shocked.
Wilbur just stared into the fox boy's eyes, as if he were on another universe.
"I've come to ask for your forgiveness. You don't have to accept me, just hear me out," Fundy urged, averting his gaze to each one of them separately.
"Oh Fundy," Wilbur laughed, "It's too late to ask for forgiveness now."
"No please listen to me, Dad," Fundy begged.
"You have no right to call me that, I mean nothing to you don't I?" Wilbur shot.
"You... you heard?" Fundy exclaimed.
"Oh sorry, was I not supposed to hear you disown me and suck up to Schlatt!" Wilbur yelled somewhat sarcastically.
"I-I'm sorry-I didn't-
"Fundy you've made it clear you-
"You aren't being reasonable! Look, just take this."
Everyone stood in anticipation as Fundy handed Wilbur a small leather book. He sighed and opened it.
"A spy's diary. Written by an anonymous author," Wilbur began reading.
"I think there is some very useful information from page 15 onwards," Fundy interrupted.
——
Page 15

THE FOLLOWING

Page 16
If you are caught in possession of this diary, an immediate execution may result by authority.
——
"Sorry this page didn't age very well," Fundy apologised as Wilbur read out page 16. Both Tommy and y/n placed a supportive and reassuring arm around Tubbo's shoulders.
——
Page 17
-Schlatt has a severe addiction to alcohol and cigarettes to suppress his aching body. He is unwilling to get it checked due to his pride. If the symptoms progress, he might suffer fatal consequences.
Page 18
-Schlatt is incapable of swimming. After further inspection, it seems to be a muscle atrophy.
He uses protein supplements to regain a viable level of strength.
He seems to get weaker by the day.
Page 19
-Schlatt is surprisingly unaware of the concerns and state of Manburg.
He is unaware.
Of how in reality.
He stands alone.
Page 20
Schlatt has no power, his entire stand is a facade. In fact, he is at his weakest point as we speak.
——
Wilbur finished reading as everyone, including Fundy, stood in shock. Not a word was uttered for a few moments.
"So we could just go and push Schlatt into a swimming pool, and that's it, war won," Quackity suggested jokingly, and everyone laughed, a little more relaxed.
"I don't think that's the point Big Q, but we know his weaknesses now. Wilbur, we don't have to blow up anything, we've won!" Tommy exclaimed eagerly.
"Well, you better hope so Tommy, because you know what's going to happen if we don't," Wilbur corrected.
"You'll blow it up?" y/n guessed. Wilbur nodded in response.
"But we have Fundy now, right?" Tubbo questioned.
Fundy uttered a little "Yep," to confirm.
"So who does Schlatt have?"
"No one, I'm not even really on a side, same for everyone else who I've convinced to fight with him," Dream confirmed.
"So, any dates?"
"10 days?"
"November 16th. See you then," Dream left Pogtopia.
Shortly after everyone else parted ways, y/n and Tommy going up to the first room with the bed in.
——
"So what'd you think?" Tommy asked, flopping down on the bed.
"I'm ready for a war," she decided, sitting next to him.
"We'll win for sure now," Tommy said hopefully.
"I hope so, and we'll have L'Manburg back if Wilbur isn't too insane."
"I don't know about him y/n..." Tommy sighed, "He practically raised me from the age of 5, when Phil left us, and a year later Techno left us for... potato farming I think?"
"Makes sense," y/n replied, thinking about the 'pogtato' farm.
The two of them sat and thought for a few moments, both about how Wilbur had changed since they'd known him.
But they had other thoughts running on their minds too.
"Tommy are you the traitor?" y/n blurted.
"No, of course not, and I wouldn't lie. A-are you?"
"No, and I know it isn't Tubbo or Niki, they wouldn't..."
The sun was setting as the skies changed to night. November 16th was the day... it would all change soon...

A/N: Hello! Thank you for reading. November 16th is actually one day before my birthday lol. Also yes, Tommy saying "I wouldn't lie," is indeed foreshadowing. x
