Divergent Paths || Dream SMP Band AU

Four teenagers from four different cliques and two different countries come together due to a music assignment and a music contest, and goes from a victory in a small contest to becoming a whole ass new internet sensation and somehow gets on a famous TV show while trying to stay anonymous.

Or, four idiots gets pushed into the spotlight with no warning, while trying to be secretive. They fail <3

Kicking instruments down when they got frustrated, but never rough enough to break them. The first meeting, sitting awkwardly in a silent music room as Purpled filled the silence with a simple chord progression, Ranboo adding a riff, Tommy with a beat and Tubbo with melody. They were back there, just jamming out without a care in the world, as if the 6500 pairs of eyes weren't staring at them, it was just the four, back in Tommy's small, stuffy bedroom, barely enough space to move.

Purpled and Tommy sang the last verse, feeling as the pressure of being watched melted away, all that was left was four best friends, "Take me to your best friend's house
Goin' 'round this roundabout, oh yeah
Oh, take me to your best friend's house
I loved you then and I love you now"

They all sung together, for a final time in that competition. This was it.

This was checkmate.
