I'm in a vibey mood so this chapter is gonna be like super chill. It's going to have a few songs and I recommend listening to them whenever they come up in the story to truly feel the vibe, y'know? When it happens in the story I'll put the song and the artist!! Enjoy :]
Days remaining of the meetup: 2
So this is new
Me, Ranboo, Tubbo, and Tommy all got streaks in our hair dyed red. We had decided to not go fully red and just do a small streak, but we all looked super cool with it.
"Alright so now that the minors have red hair" Wilbur starts "We have 3 and a half hours to hang out until we go to the amusement park at 5. So, do whatever you'd like until then but if you leave make sure you're back before then"
We all separate going to hang out, sleep, just chill, maybe stream. However, I was bored and wanted to go out and do something. I know that we were gonna go to an amusement park, but I want to go out and do something chill.
The park? A walk? Listen to music outside? No, those are all too boring...
Library!
I think back in when we first were moving in, the library I saw. It was antique and was truly beautiful. I had been a couple times, but I never really stayed long. Now was my opportunity to do it.
"Yo, Wilbur?" I get his attention
"What's up, Willow?" He asks in recognition
"There's a library around 40 minutes away, d'ya think we could go there?" I ask
He thinks for a moment and hums "I don't see why not"
I throw my hands up in success "Yesssssss"
"Let's see who else wants to go, you ask the minors and Niki. I'll ask everyone else"
We split up, I make my way towards me and Niki's shared room first
"Hey Niki?" I say as I walk in
"Hi Willow" She responds
"Me and Wil are going to the library, wanna join?" I ask
"That sounds cool, sure!" She stands up from her bed and walks over towards me
We walk out and I go towards the minor's room
"Sup bitches" My demeanor changes completely with these dirtbags
"What d'ya want, idiot?" Tubbo asks
"We're going to the library, anyone wanna come with?" I ask again
"I want to sleep" Tommy says, muffled by a pillow
"I'll come, Ranboo?" Tubbo agrees
"Sure, why not" They both get up, leaving Tommy to sleep. Probably for the best to leave the loud child at home
*V small time skip brought to you by Ranboo's sight organ*
It was me, Niki, Ranboo, Tubbo, Techno, Sapnap, Wilbur and Phil. We were gonna spilt amongst ourselves in 2 cars.
Car 1- Techno driving, Phil in passenger, me and Niki in the back
Car 2- Wilbur driving, Sapnap in passenger, Ranboo and Tubbo in the back
I climbed into the backseat behind Phil
"You got the location?" I ask after I send the address to Techno and Wilbur
"Yup" He says as I see him place his phone with the directions to the library up
And so the drive begins
"Soooo, are you gonna ask him today?" Niki says, after about 5 minutes of driving
She obviously tried to say it quietly, but she didn't succeed
"Ask who, what?" Phil asks "If you don't mind me asking, of course"
Niki looks over to me, as if permission to tell them. I just give her a death glare and look away, trying to show that I didn't care anymore at this point
"I was hoping she'd ask Ranboo out today at the amusement park" Niki giggles
(AN: OFF TOPIC BUT, HO-LY C R A P I TOTALLY FORGOT THE SONG "ALONE" BY MARSHMALLOW EXISTED, I LISTENED TO THAT SHIT RELIGIOUSLY. EVEN MADE A WHOLE DANCE ROUTINE WHEN I WAS LIKE 9 WITH IT HOLY FUCK-)
"Did she finally come to terms that she likes him?" Phil asks
"WAS IT REALLY THAT OBVIOUS??" I ask in disbelief
"I mean, not really, I just kinda speculated it" He answers
I look up at the rear view mirror to be met with Techno's eyes. My eyes widen, that shit is scary
"Tehcno why are you so scary?-" I ask in terror
"If he hurts my little sister I will burn down his house and kill every pet he owns." He says sternly, not looking at me but at the road now
Silence feels the car as the vibe completely changes
"I'm not even your real sister-" I murmur
"Not the point. Either way, do what feels best. If you wanna tell him, tell him. If you feel like it's not good timing, don't" He reassures
"Yeah, thanks Techno. I'm just scared that it'll be perfect timing, but I'll chicken out. Or like I tell him I like him and he just says that he flirted as a joke or something.."
"Oh shut up already! You're always saying not to stay in a negative mindset or you'll believe it, listen to your own advice!" Niki yells, startling me a bit
"Alright, alright, thanks guys"
"No problem, mate" Phil says
And so the drive continues, however now with less talking and more thinking
Tubbo POV
(AN: What's this? A pov that isnt Ranboo or Willow? wow)
"Pussy" Sapnap says to Ranboo
"Dude, you don't understand. It's way to anxiety inducing. And if she rejects me? I'd never be able to let that go and it'd be so hard to hang out with her without think about how she rejected me. I'd look like an idiot" Ranboo defends himself from us telling him to ask out Willow
"But that's not gonna happen! You'll tell her you love her, she'll say it back, you'll kiss or some shit, and boom you date her" I explain, it seemed so easy
"First off, love is wayyyyy to strong of a word. Second off, what if she doesn't? What if I tell her I like her and she says it's just platonic?"
"You guys almost fucking kissed!" Wilbur yells
"Wilbur, do you know how many movies and stories of heard about how people get caught in the moment? One person likes another and that person goes in to kiss them and boom they get to caught up in it, not realizing that they don't even like the person. That's probably what happened. She was happy and when she saw we were getting close she didn't do anything because she was distracted by the adrenaline" His overthinking seemed to just all spill out
There's silence for a couple seconds
"Ranboo, I have to live with the dipshit everyday. She's practically a little sister to me, I can tell that she likes you more than friends. You just have to show that you do too." Sapnap explains
"Trust me Ranboo, she likes you so much. You two are gonna be the sappiest and most cringy couple ever" I wanted to tell him so bad about how much Willow just went on and on about him
He sighs "Thanks guys.."
"Of course, big man" I say happily
"Good luck, Ranboo" Wilbur says as he drives
The car ride is filled with silence until we arrive
Ranboo POV
It's book time
I didn't really have a plan when I agreed to come here, but it seemed like fun so I decided to join. Don't get me wrong, reading is chill, but it was never something that was at the top of my hobbies.
"What'cha gonna get, big man?" Tubbo asks as we walk to the entrance
"I have no idea" I say as I see the other car pull up to the parking lot
The rest of the group makes their way over. I saw Willow dragging Niki over excitedly
It looked really cool, the library. It was tucked away in a corner in seemed to be fairly old, but in a good way. Definitely had a vintage vibe
"Hey everyone! I'm so excited for y'all to see this" Willow bounced in excitement
"Have you been here, Sapnap?" Phil asks
"I think I went like, once. I got some random book, I don't even remember it" He laughs
"Let's go innnnnnn" Willow whines
So in we go, and boy do I understand why she was so excited. It was huge, so many books. There were stairs leading up to more books on a second floor. I looked over at Willow and smile. I love how we have the ability to tell whenever someone feels really happy, because I could see within the glimmer in her eyes and the smile in her face how excited she was to be here and show more people.
"This place is really old. I think it was made sometime in 1970? So, must of the books are old but they gave a section in the back filled with newer books and graphic novels. They also have some mangas" She explains to everyone happily and points (heh, 1970 ;)
Sapnap, Wilbur and Tubbo make their way towards that section
"Everything else is free range! I'm going to the Greek mythology section if anyone would like to join" She explains one more
"I'll join you" Techno says and they walk off
Me, Niki, and Phil all just kinda stare at each other not really knowing what to do
"I'm gonna go look at the fairytales" Niki says and she walks off
"Welp, I suppose it's just us now then" Phil says with a laugh
"Heh, yeah. Wanna go towards the mystery section, maybe?" I suggest
"Sure" And we walk over to the section labeled "Mystery/Detective"
"Do you like to try to solve the mysteries?" Phil asks me as I look at some of the books
"Yeah, I've always kinda like thinking of how it gets solved. It's fascinating to me" I say happily and pick out a cool looking book
"That's cool, maybe I can try that" He says as he skims through the book titles
I open up the book in my hand and skim through the pages. I never really was a big book reader, but for some reason books always smell so nice. I look at the back of the book that shows a preview for the story inside.
"Donald Hutherson has a dream about seeing a fairly attractive person in his mirror. Sure enough, when he awakes the next morning there's something waiting there for him. Connections of dreams, time, and maybe even family abound within the 2 boys new discovery that their bathroom mirrors aren't so ordinary"
(AN: >:) Yes, I made that)
It seemed interesting so I held onto it and looked through some more books. After a while I wanted to explore the library than just staying in one place. I leave Phil after telling him I'd look around and branch out around. It would take hours to just read avery book title, much less read every book.
As my eyes are scanning around, I spot Willow at a table reading a fairly large book. I decided to walk over to her
"Hey, Will" I say as I place my book down in the table and sit next to her
"Heyo! Watcha got there?" She asks, looking away from her book
"It's called 'Connections' it seems really cool" I say briefly so that I don't completely interrupt her reading
"What's it about?" They ask curiously
I read out the summary to her and she seems intrigued
"Oooo, I'll read it when you're done with it!" She says happily
I smile and look over at her book "And what're you reading?"
"It's just a bunch of Greek mythology stories. I find it so interesting about all the different stories and how people perceived natural things in different ways" She says with a wide smile "Sorry, I'm a bit of a nerd"
"No no, I think that's really cool. I always kinda thought that was cool and thought about getting into it but I never actually did" I laugh slightly
"Maybe when you're done we can switch books" She suggests
"Sure!"
And with that we read. I was so caught up with my book I had completely forgotten about the conversation from the car that had still been on my mind earlier. However, my mind just randomly decided to start thinking about it again.
Should I just tell her I like her? How would I do it?
Questions, thoughts, possibilities, swarming through my mind
I look up from my blank staring at Willow
Do they even like me like that? Everyone says she does, and to be honest, I believe them but for some reason I still doubt. They're funny, they're pretty, they're dumb but in a good way. I could listen to her talk for hours. God, I love their voice so much. I love it when she just goes on and on about the things they love. To her stupid ideas to her really good advice, they're just amazing.
"Alright everyone! It's been a while, we gotta head back or we'll be late" Wilbur says quietly
"Okiii" She responds and we grab our books, quickly checking them out and leaving with everyone
Back to the car we go, hopefully the topic doesn't fall on me again
Willow POV
I should be excited, and don't get me wrong I am, but I'm also nervous.
I'm gonna tell him.
No I'm not.
I have to tell him.
But I can't
My mind is just screaming at itself with what I should do. Really, I wish it'd shut up and let me have a good last day actual day if the meetup. They'd be leaving tomorrow anyways..
During the car ride to the amusement park, I just thought about what I was going to do the whole time. I see the amusement park in the distance, it looked amazing and the lights weren't even on yet. Wait till it gets dark, it was gonna be one hell of a night.
I've come to the decision that I'm just gonna enjoy myself and if the time feels right, then I'll do it. But who knows if that'll even happen.
I felt a bit better knowing that I had come to a decision although, my nervousness still kind of stuck with me. I tried to push it back as much as I could.
"Welcome everyone, to the amusement park. Me, George and Sapnap have gone here, but Willow hasn't. You can do whatever you'd like, if you need anything then just text the group chat. Park closes at 4am tomorrow morning so we have 6 hours unless we all vote to leave earlier. Have fun every body!" Clay announces
The amusement park was huge. I had heard the 3 boys talk about it, but I never imagined it being this cool.
"Willow! Come here, we're gonna go on the big rollercoaster first!" Ranboo says excitedly
I walk over eagerly "Best for first? Alright then"
We, being Tommy, Tubbo, Ranboo, and I, walk over to the biggest rollercoaster in the park. I was super excited to go on it, but also hoped I wouldn't chicken out last minute as we got in the line.
tw////mention of puke/throwing up
"If any of you throw up in me, I will never talk to you again" Ranboo says jokingly
end tw////
We all laugh and get both more excited and more nervous as we get closer and closer to going. Eventually, we make it.
"Shortest up in the front" The worker says
Ranboo and Tommy look and me and Tubbo
I sigh "Fuckin got the short genes why couldn't I be like Clay" I mutter angrily as me and Tubbo get into the front few carts
Tommy and Ranboo were in the very back, tall assholes
"I read a book once where like the the little thingy that keeps us in place didn't like go down and so the people had to hold each other down to not die" I say bluntly
"Yes, say that as we're about to get in a rollercoaster, why don't you" Tubbo says with sarcasm dripping in his voice
"I'm just saying, if that happens, I am not holding you down" I say as the bar, thankfully, goes down to our laps
"Well fuck you too"
The rollercoaster begins, ticking up slowly
"Dude, I haven't been on a rollercoaster in so long I'm so excited" I say eagerly
Tick tick tick
"Tommy is probably pissing his pants in fear" Tubbo laughs
Tick tick tick
"I'll have Ranboo tell me what happened" I say
Tick tick tick
"You gonna tell him today?" Tubbo asks, referring to me telling Ranboo about my crush
Tick tick tick
"Tubbo I-" I say before the large drop cuts me off with screaming
"WOOOOOOO" I yell with a large smile
I hear screams, one of them specifically from Tommy
The breeze felt really good on my face. The sun was slowly setting, but since it was only 5pm it wasn't too low yet.
We went up down, loop de loop, upside down, it was insane
Screaming, yelling, a bit of cursing, until it finally ended
Me and Tubbo looked at each other and laughed with adrenaline
We got out, walking towards the exit and waited for Ranboo and Tommy, talking about how insane it was
"THAT WAS INSANE" Tommy says as they meet up with us
"You were probably pissing your pants in fear" Tubbo says with a laugh
Tommy begins arguing with Tubbo about how he was so manly and that he wasn't scared whilst I walked over to Ranboo
"Was he scared?" I ask
"Oh he was petrified, yeah" He says and we both laugh
Eventually the 2 dimwits quite fighting and we go off to other things. More rollercoasters. Large swings flying through the air, which I got some pretty aesthetic photos from. I ride where it spines around really fast to wear you can stand on the wall.
We went on rides until it was finally time for the lights to go on. Clay texted us about it and we went to where we could see the lights perfectly, outside of the park. Of course, we'd go back in after, but the view would be so amazing.
"Alright, 1 minute left" He says happily
I bounce with excitement, Ranboo and Niki next to me
"I'm so excited this is gonna look amazing" I say excitedly
"3, 2, 1" Clay counts down until it hits 7pm when the lights turn on
And exactly after, my view blooms with bright and flashing colors against the black night sky. Everything clashed together perfectly. How the swings' light up colors twirled around. How the merry-go-rounds' yellow swirled. How the ferris real's colors danced together in a beautiful mix of blues, yellows, and purples. It was truly breathtaking.
My mouth feel agape into a smile
I hear Niki gasp in delight and some of us awe
"Holy shit.." I mutter
"It's beautiful.." Ranboo mutters as well, all of us in awe of its beauty
We all just sayin there for a minute watching all the colors flash against our faces. It was hard to rip away the gaze, to even miss a second. Who knew that lights could be so pretty.
"Well, what're you waiting for? Go hang out!" Phil knocks us all out of our trances
I looked over at Ranboo who was still looking out at the lights. The colors in his face made him looks so much more desirable. His phone was in his hand as well, maybe he took a picture. I should do that too.
I take out my phone, take a picture of myself, the lights, and even get one if Ranboo quickly.
"More rides!" I say happily with the group
"Let's go" Tubbo responds
Merry-Go-Round
I laughed as the horse that I was riding went up and down
"We are literally in a kids' ride" Tommy says
"Well Tommy, we are kids, aren't we?" I say happily
"She's got a point" Ranboo says to us
Dropper
We sat down and strapped ourselves in to the seats. It was one of those rides where they bring you up really high and then you fall down really fast
"Holy crap, I'm nervous" Tubbo says
"Same, these are terrifying" I agree
"And you said I was the scared one" Tommy says angrily
"You still are, Tommy" Ranboo says, making us all laugh other than Tommy
We're slowly brought up into the sky
"Ahhhh oh gosh" I say nervously
"But the view is amazing" Ranboo brings out
I look out, you could see the whole park and the some of downtown
"Wow, you're right" I say before we're plummeted down
We all yell this time
Carnival Games
"Time to win some prizes, baby!" I yell excitedly
"Which one first?" Tommy asks
"Let's do the balloon dart ones!" Ranboo suggests
We make our way over to the game where you throw a dart at the balloons
"Why would they have this? You could throw these at someone" Tubbo brings out
"Tubbo, what the hell is wrong with you?" Tommy asks
"A lot of things" Me and Ranboo say at the same time
"I'm going first!" I yell as I slap my money down and the worker gives me some darts
"You get 10 darts. If you get 3, you get a small problems. 5, a medium prize. 10, large prize. Good luck"
Miss
Miss
Hit
Miss
Hit
Hit
Miss
Miss, it bounced off the balloon
Miss
Hit
"God damnit, one away from getting a medium" I curse
"Which one would you like?" The person asks me
"Hmmm, the panda" I say as they grab it and give it to me
Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo all play. Tommy got no prize, Ranboo got a small tiger, and Tubbo got a large teddy bear that he could barely hold
——————————————————
We played some more games, went on a few more rides, and got some food. I was getting very tried, and I think the boys were noticed. Suddenly, all of our phones buzzed. We hadn't looked at them in a while.
music man wil 👓🎸
Hey everyone! We only have about 15 more minutes. Go on last minute rides, finish eating, do whatever. Meet you by the exit in 10!

sir yes sir -minor crew™️
"It is time, my friends" I say with a smile
We gave each other devilish smiles. We had agreed to go on the ferris wheel last to get one more look at the town and everything since they'd be leaving soon.
"Awww darn it, the carts only hold 2 people. We can't all be in it together" Ranboo says sadly
"Whattttt that sucks" I say with a frown
"I call Tubbo, have fun you 2" Tommy says quickly and they get in a cart
I look over at Jaxon
"Well, I guess that leaves us" I say nervously
Remember the anxiousness I pushed back earlier? Well, surprise surprise, it's back!
"I suppose so, let's go" He says and we walk over and sit in one of the carts
A ferris wheel? With my crush? When everyone is expecting me to tell Ranboo I like him? Aren't ferris wheels supposed to be super romantic or some shit?
Fuck.
This is gonna be just swimmingly..
Words: (AN: KIDDING I'LL KEEP GOING BEFOTE Y'ALL MURDER ME-)
Should I tell him? I'm just so scared
I pull out my phone and airpods. Maybe we could listen to music. I give an airpod to Jaxon
"Here, we can listen to music. It'll fit the vibe" I say, still nervous
"O-oh ok cool" He says and grabs it
Freaks, by Surf Curse came on. One if my favorite songs. And it fit the mood perfect, along with calming me as well.
Up the ferris wheel we slowly go
Don't kill me just help me run away from everyone
I need a place to stay, where I can cover up my face
Don't cry, I am just a freak
Heh, I am a freak
I am just a freak
I look up at Jaxon, who was already looking down at me. The lights was hitting his face ever so perfectly. Like they were out there specifically by angels. We stare and stare, why does that always seem to happen?
A freak. Why would he like me when I'm a freak?
I am just a freak
Why does he hang out with me when I'm a freak?
I am just a freak
I know why, because he's a freak too. We're freaks together.
My head is filled with parasites
Black holes, cover up my eyes
That's what I feel like when I look at him
I dream of you almost every night
It's true. He's always in my dreams. Even when I'm not awake, he still seems to be with me
Hopefully I won't wake up this time
This is my chance.
I won't wake up this time
I need to do it, c'mon Willow
I won't wake up this time
C'MON WILLOW YOU'RE AT THE TOP OF THE FERRIS WHEEL, DO IT, KISS HIM. YOU WON'T WAKE UP, I PROMISE
I won't wake up this time
The song ends.
Close.
So, close.
Closer than last time, our lips were practically touching.
I could just lean in.
Kiss him, show him how much I care, how much I like him, how much he means to me.
Why didn't I take my chance when it was the only time I wouldn't wake up..?
