4- the election




(TW: Violence/blood)


I was woken up the next morning by Sapnap knocking on my door.


"Yes?" I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.


Sapnap walked in, I rolled over before pulling the sheets back over my head groning.


"Oh come on," he laughed at my response, "Time to get up, kitten!" He pulled the covers off me causing me to shiver from the soft sheets leaving my body.


"Fine fine," I laughed before standing up and walking over to grab my uniform to get changed. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind me and pulling off the large hoodie I wore to sleep.


"Are you excited to see the results of the election?" Sapnap asked through the door.


"I guess," I huffed while pulling the white button down on buttoning the string of buttons down the front, "I mean Wilbur's going to win, how would he lose?"


"You're right I guess," Sapnap laughed at my confidence, "I don't know why or how he'd lose with all he's done for you guys."


"I know!" I said excitedly pushing open the door holding my jacket in my arms, fully dressed in the full L'Manberg uniform.


"Ready to go now?"


"Yup!" my tail swayed behind me as I pulled the long navy coat on buttoning the front closed.


We made our way out of the large castle, not seeing anyone occupying it, onto the wooden path leading to L'Manberg.


"Where is everyone?" I was curious as to where Dream and the others were.


"I don't know, maybe they're at L'Manberg to see the results."


We came up upon the familiar large blackstone walls and made our way inside seeing the city buzzing with people. By the stage stood George, Sapnap, Niki, Fundy, Wilbur, Tommy, and Shlatt. Tommy stood confidently talking to Wilbur as the others stood with their running mates. Shlatt stood alone, looking confidently over the crowd. I wouldn't be lying to say that he was a very intimidating figure.


I looked to Sapnap for permission to go talk to the others.


"You go ahead and talk to them for a bit, I'll get us some seats."


"Thank you!" I gave him a short hug before running off to see Fundy and Niki. I had not seen Niki since before the war as she left to not get caught up in it.


"Niki! Fundy!" I waved to them as I ran up to the two.


"(Y/N)!" Fundy and I collided in a strong and protective hug, "I heard that you came yesterday! I didn't see you though?"


"We had to leave before Dream would get upset."


"(Y/N) you're ok!" Niki said as Fundy let me go from the hug, keeping his hands on my shoulders.


"Ya! Dream has allowed me to come to see the election events and Sapnap and I are planning an escape!"


"Really? When?" Fundy asked, shaking me slightly.


"We don't know when," I giggled slightly.


"What do you mean?" Niki asked.


"We're waiting for the right time, that could be today or a month from now it just depends on Dream."


"Well hopefully it's soon," Fundy pulled me back into another hug, this time it was softer, "We miss you."


"I miss you guys too." By now Wilbur and the others were heading to the stage.


"I think you guys have to go," I pointed towards the others, "I'll go sit with Sapnap now, good luck!"


I ran off to where Sapnap had sat and sat beside him waiting for Wilbur to start talking.


"I would like to thank everyone for coming to our very first election for the presidency of L'Manberg." Scattered cheers came from the crowd, mostly from Tubbo. Wilbur was fiddling with a small envelope in his hands. "Here I have the election results," He opened the envelope pulling out a small slip of paper, "In fourth with 9% of the votes is Coconut2020, granted most of those upon further investigation seem to have been fraudulent votes. This information caused the two members of the party to nervously laugh before they ran off the stage and found two seats in the crowd. Wilbur sighed and pulled out another slip of paper, "in third with 16% of the votes is Shlatt2020.'' This information caused a sigh of relief from many and quiet cheers came from several people.


"Now in second place with 30% of the votes is the party lead by," Wilbur paused, pulling out another slip of paper from the envelope, "Quacity, meaning first with 45% of the votes is POG2020." Wilbur looked confused as he looked at the envelope, Tommy was cheering loudly along with many others. I was more interested in what Wilbur was looking at, he pulled out another slip of paper reading it silently before he grabbed the younger one's arm. "Tommy- Tommy quiet down please," He looked distaut.


"We won! We won Wilbur!"


"Please let me speak," Wilbur went back to the mic and started reading the paper. "On the night before the election, SWAG2020 announced that no matter the results of the election they would pool their votes with Shlatt2020," Wilbur paused for a moment, Tommy still had a bright smile on his face. "This means that with a coalition between the two parties they have 46% of the votes," Tommy's smile faded, "Meaning the coalition between SWAG2020 and Shlatt2020 has won the election."


"W-what?" I mumbled, grabbing Sapnap's hand lightly, "That can't be true."


The silence in the crowd was broken by Shlatt's piercing laugh, Tommy started yelling profanities.


"Tommy," Wilbur grabbed the boy, "Tommy lets go, I am not the president anymore." Wilbur sounded defeated. Wilbur pulled Tommy off the stage, pulling him into the front row. Shlatt made his way to the podium still laughing.


"Well," His voice boomed through the city, "That was pretty easy."


This couldn't be good, I didn't know who this was but just based on the fact that even Dream didn't want me near him, Shlatt being president could not be a good thing.


"You know what I said the day I got unbanned from the Dream SMP, the day I started running," He stifled a laugh "an election I won by the way. I said things are gonna change'' The man paused, "So let's start making it happen."


Everyone was tense waiting for the next few words to leave his mouth.


"My first decree as president- EMPEROR of this great country, is to revoke the citizenship of Wilbur Soot and Tommy Innit."


That's when chaos struck. People started pulling out crossbows and swords. Tommy pulled Wilbur by his arm, yelling about them needing to run. Wilbur was frozen in shock. I turned to Sapnap looking for what to do.


"Now is the best time we'll get," he pulled me away from the majority of the crowd, "Go help Wilbur and Tommy."


I nodded and ran off behind the two. Punz fired an arrow at them, striking Wilbur in the back of the shoulder. I pushed past the crowd catching up and helping Tommy pull Wilbur along with him.


Tommy didn't question my actions as we ran into the forest, the echoes of Shlatt's laughter ripped through the silence between heavy breaths. We ran till we were sure no one was following, coming across a hill.


We laid Wilbur down against the hill. Tommy stripped his jacket before frantically pushing it against the wound, an arrow still stuck in his shoulder.


"Here let me see it," I pulled the jacket away from the boy, looking at the blood that was now soaking through both Wilbur and Tommy's jackets. "Do you have any bandages?"


"I've got these," Tommy held out a small roll of bandages from his bag, "I thought they might come in handy to just keep in my bag."


I took them from Tommy before looking back to Wilbur taking off his jacked.


"this might hurt a bit," Wilbur grunted in response before I took the arrow in my hand, pulling it out harshly. I took a small bottle of water I kept on me and washed the wound before quickly bandaging his shoulder tightly. The blood quickly soaked through the few bandages we had, I wrapped his jacket around as well to try and stop the bleeding.


When the bleeding finally stopped Wilbur had passed out against the hill. I let out a soft sigh before turning to Tommy.


"We need to make a base before night falls."


"Ya," he reached in his bag grabbing the small orb that transformed into his shovel.


(Ok quick explanation: and this isn't my original idea there's an artist over on Twitter that used the idea of tools turning into orbs, like enderpearls, and transforming into the tools. So I used this idea because I liked it. none of the characters really uses it for swords as they use scabbards in order to access it faster. They just do this in order to save space so that they can have other useful materials)


Tommy started digging into the side of the hill. He dug a small room before dragging Wilbur inside. Tommy's shovel turned back into the sphere as he put it in his bag before pulling out another, this one turning into an axe.


"I'll go out and get some wood for touches and materials," he said leaving the small room, "you stay here with Wilbur, call if you need me."


Tommy left headed into the woods leaving me with the unconscious Wilbur.


It had maybe been an hour before the blond came back pulling a makeshift cart full of wood.


He pulled out several of the pieces before starting to light them. He handed me one of the newly made touches and I started hanging them on the walls.


While we were working on lighting the room Wilbur stirred awake.


"WILBUR!" Tommy yelled, making Wilbur wince in response.


"How are you feeling?" I asked.


"I'm fine," he took a double take, looking at me worriedly, "why are you here?"


"Sapnap thought it was the best time for me to run, so I ran with you guys."


"No no-" Wilbur paused, "it's not safe to be here (Y/N)."


"What do you mean Wilbur? It's safer than with Dream."


"(Y/N) we're going to be targeted by Shlatt," Wilbur started, Tommy nodding his head slightly, "although I hate the idea of you staying in the same place as Shlatt, it's the safest option."


"But wil-"


"I'm sorry (Y/N) but please- please go back to L'Manberg," Wilbur set his hand on my shoulder, "stay under Shlatt's radar and stay safe, please."


"Fine," I huffed before standing and turning to Tommy "please watch his shoulder and make sure it doesn't get infected."


"I will don't worry."


I left the small building closing the makeshift door, it was really just a plank of wood that Tommy laid over the small hole.


I walked through the forest making my way to the walled city- well, the 'former' walled city.
