Before he could ask him what he meant. Tubbo walked fast, the need to run was becoming strong but he could see Fundy, Niki, and Jack all talking to each other and he ducked his head. Leaving the walls of L’manburg going as quickly as he could.

Where was he going? Where was his body taking him? Why was he leaving to begin with. Maybe he should head back and tell Wilbur he didn’t exactly know what he meant either. Maybe it would be all ok right? Because Wilbur totally wasn’t spot on about almost everything he said right? 

His thoughts were rudely interrupted when he ran into someone. 

“Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry!” That was the voice of Karl Jacobs. It had to be, no one else would be as nice as him. 

“Oh no, it's my fault really. Sorry Karl.” Karl offered a hand out and smiled at the boy. He took it. 

“Don’t worry Tubbo it’s all cool.” He said as he hauled the younger up. 

“Where you off to?”

“I don’t know honestly, I just needed to get away from L’Manburg.”

Karl nodded in understanding and his eyes lit up. 

“Well, we could hang out if you want!” The older man seemed so happy and excited that Tubbo just couldn’t deny him.  

The two hung out for hours and for the first time in a while Tubbo didn’t think about his friends, didn’t second guess everything he did. Tubbo just enjoyed his time with Karl, which turned into hanging out with Eret, Punz and Sapnap as well. By the time the sunset, Sapnap and Karl had left. Punz stayed for a while longer before finally deciding to call it a night. Eret and Tubbo were now heading back to his castle.

“Would you like to stay here for the night Tubbo?” Tubbo smiled and nodded at the older. They stayed up for a while longer before they both headed to sleep. Tubbo was in the same guest room as last time and his stomach dropped.

What was he doing? He shouldn’t be here. He should be back in L’manburg or at his own home. Was him hanging out with people from Dream SMP bad? No, it was ok. It had to be ok.

Tubbo shook his head. Sleeping would help him from escaping his thoughts. He threw on some more comfy clothes and threw himself onto the bed. Shutting his eyes and letting exhaustion take over. 

After that day Tubbo had decided that he would never betray his friends, his family. That didn’t last long.
