let me down slowly - wilbur soot

chapter 2- are you a witch?

aubrey's pov

"AHHHHH!" i wince as i hear tubbo's screaming blare through my headset.

"god, what is happening?" i ask. "how many times are you going to void?"

"i don't know! but this is bad! really bad! mcc is tomorrow and winner's pov is NOT going to happen!" i hear tubbo sigh and i click my tongue.

"don't talk like that! i'm gonna manifest a dub tonight," i say. tubbo gasps slightly.

"are you a witch..?"

"sure. we can say that."

"oh CRAP! please don't put a hex on me!" i hear tubbo whimpering and i laugh.

"i probably won't if you're nice to me."

"PROBABLY won't? aubrey, that's not reassuring at all!" i laugh again. tubbo's made me laugh multiple times while practicing for mcc together. he's really funny.

"yeah, well, i guess we'll never know," i respond. tubbo sighs and we continue practicing, moving from parkour to hole in the wall.

TommyInnit joined the game.

"TOMMY'S HERE!" tubbo shouts, breaking my eardrums once more. "can we invite him to the call, aubrey? please?" i smile. if i didn't know any better, i'd guess he's a four-year-old begging his mom to take him to get ice cream.

"he's our teammate, of course you can add him," i say. i quickly hear the "ding," indicating that tommy joined our call.

"HELLO BOYS!" tommy screams.

great. they both scream.

"jesus christ, you're both so loud. and you're definitely gonna start feeding off of each other's energy soon," i say, turning down their volume and laughing.

"HELLO AUBREY!" tommy shouts. "we haven't properly introduced ourselves yet. even though mcc is tomorrow. shitty planning on our part." i laugh. "i'm tommy. it's nice to meet you."

"hello tommy, i'm aubrey. as you seem to have already known."

"well duh, your discord name is aubrey and minecraft ign is aubreyyxo. what else would your name be?" i laugh.

"i suppose you're right, 'big man tommy.'" tommy gasps and tubbo laughs.

"did you just call me a big man?" tommy asks. i can hear excitement in his voice.

"i guess i did."

"i like you already. do you guys wanna practice dodgebolt? i can invite wilbur, too."

he must be talking about wilbur soot. i remember seeing him on the team poster.

"yes!" tubbo exclaims. "invite wilbur! lime llamas full squad roll out!" tommy and i laugh as tommy spams wilbur, inviting him to join our call. soon enough, he gets tired of tommy's whining and joins.

"hello," a deep, calm voice says.

"oh, so YOU don't scream," i accidentally say out loud. i slap my hand over my mouth while tommy and tubbo laugh.

"uhh, pardon?" wilbur responds. i can sense confusion laced in his voice.

"please ignore what i just said. i didn't mean to say that. shit." my face flushes red with embarrassment.

"it's because tommy and i have been screaming at her!" tubbo says loudly.

"why are you shouting at her..?" wilbur asks hesitantly.

"because we want to. obviously."

"you can't just go around screaming at people, tubbo."

"NOT IN THE REAL WORLD! BUT THIS IS MINECRAFT, BABY!" tommy shouts as loud as he possibly can.

"five, four, three-"

"why are you counting?" i ask, interrupting wilbur's counting.

"you'll see in a-"

"oh hold on... YEAH?" tommy says. the "yeah" sounds a lot farther away from his mic. "what? mum, i'm practicing for mcc! what do you mean i can't shout? WHAT? okay okay i'm sorry i'm sorry!"

"i was counting down how long it would take until tommy's mother came in and told him off for screeching," wilbur informs me. i nod, but then remember he can't see me.

"makes sense, then," i reply.

"okay, mother says i have to crank it down many, many notches. that means no more screaming," tommy says.

"thank god," i say.

"shut up, aubray." i giggle at the way he pronounces my name.

"that's rude, tommy," wilbur says.

"you're defending her! are you guys dating?" tommy asks. i nearly spit out the water i just drank.

"i- uh- what?" i ask.

"please ignore him. oh my god, literally just tune him out. he has this stupid bit where he thinks every girl i talk to is my girlfriend. please just ignore him and his gremlin tendencies," wilbur pleads. i laugh.

"ignore tommyinnit, got it."

"HEY! no! don't do that!" tommy begs.

"did you all just forget that we have mcc tomorrow and haven't practiced as a full team?" tubbo asks.

"oh. yeah. right. off to dodgebolt, then!" tommy announces. i watch as his minecraft character zooms off the the dodgebolt practice section.

then i see the notification.
