No no no no no no no no

How?

How did this happen?

This can't be happening.

right?

I immediately muted my microphone and put it my "I'll be back soon :P" screen. I was starting to hyperventilate as millions of thoughts where whirling through my mind at exhilarating speeds. I ran over to Clay's room as fast as possible.

I barged into his room and saw him with the same "Be right back" screen and him right by the door, presumably about to come to me. I just stood there, both of us staring at each other in disbelief of what we both had just saw spammed in our chats.

Clay took me into a tight embrace, trying to calm down my breathing. I hugged him back and started crying, while also still hyperventilating.

"Look, Willow, it's gonna be ok. Don't worry. We'll figure this out, just calm your breathing you need to breathe" He said, rubbing small circles on my back

George and Sapnap came to the door, also having their chats spammed. They saw what state I was in and they come over to where me and Clay were embraced.

"Holy shit, I'm literally so sorry, Willow" Sapnap says sadly

"Yeah, but it's gonna be alright. Trust me, if they say anything rude I'll make sure they shut up" George adds on

I look over to Clay's computer behind him and look at chat. It was still being spammed with the message

Pasteldreamer: DID SKY AND DREAM MEET UP??

socksoot: WHY COULD WE HEAR HER SCREAM?

britinnit: WHAT IS GOING ON, DREAM?

gogywasfound: WHAT THE HECK, WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL US THEY MET UP

deku_simp: DO THEY LIVE TOGETHER OR SMTH?

I just berried my face into Clay's hoodie, not wanting any of this to be happening right now.

"I dmed Scott and he said that we could do another quick 5 minute break" Sapnap says

"W-what are we gonna d-do" I say in between my crying

Clay thinks for a sec "Well, we could just ignore them and act like it never happened, but they might get mad by that. We could lie and say that we met up?"

"But then they might get mad if they find out you lied" George says

We all sit in silence, thinking of what we should do. We were now all sitting on Clay's bed thinking for about a minute.

"I know you don't want to, but you might just have to tell them" Clay says sadly

I really don't want to. I might get hate and what if my Minecraft friends don't wanna hang out with me or something..

"Do I have to do something today?" I ask

"I think you might be fine if you maybe post something on Twitter saying that you'll make an explanation soon, but that you wanna enjoy mcc first" George suggests

"Ok, well I guess I'll do that.."

"Willow, you got this, it's gonna be fine" Clay reassures with another quick hug

"Yeah, you're gonna do great and they're gonna love you" Sapnap does the same

I go back to my room and pick up my phone. I look over my lock screen, which is a fan-made lock screen of a drawing of me and Ranboo. It had a light yellow background, since it was my favorite color. It wasn't detailed drawings, it was very simple but I really liked it. Ranboo told me that he put the same lock screen as well.

It made me upset though

What if Ranboo thinks I'm a liar and doesn't talk to me?

I try to push my anxiety down and I open my phone. I scroll through my apps looking for a blue background with a white bird icon. Once I see it, I hover my finger over it, scared to press on it. I was gonna get hate, no doubt about it, but whether it was only going to be a few people or my entire community is what scared me. I could handle a hate message here and there because I get those anyways, but if it's my entire community I might not be able to handle it.

I finally click on the button and go to make the tweet. We only had 2 minutes left on our break, so I had to hurry with the tweet so my viewers could see and I could go back into the Discord call and get ready to play again.

Hey guys!! I know you are all really confused right now, but don't worry. I'm going to make an explanation soon. Whether that is a tweet, a video, a stream, I'm not sure yet. But you're going to get an explanation, most likely tomorrow or the day after. For now, I want to enjoy my first mcc. Please, stop spamming me and anyone else's chat and let us enjoy mcc. I love you all

I release a big sigh as I post the tweet, immediately turning off notifications for Twitter and setting my phone down. I look up at my screen and see that Clay joined back to the Discord call. I reluctantly join it was well to be met with Clay talking.

"They're gonna explain everything later, but she wants to enjoy mcc right now so let's just let her be"

"Ok, I will, I just hope that they're gonna be alright.." Ranboo says

"Yeah, me too" Spifey agrees

"Uh, hey guys, I'm back.." I say in incredibly nervous tone

"Welcome back Sky!" Ranboo says, trying to sound happy and trying to cover his worry

"Alright I'm gonna unmute on my stream" I say, deafening on Discord

I press the unmute button for my microphone and look over at chat, which is still spamming with either confusion or people saying to not spam because they saw my tweet.

"Hey chat! I'm back. Please, please check my Twitter it has some important information! Mods, emote only please" I say to my chat

I see as my chat gets filled with emotes instead is words, a lot of them being hearts. Most likely to show that they have my support, which makes me a bit happier about the situation at hand. I direct my attention back to Minecraft. We only had 1 game left

We get sent to the decision dome. We vote to do rocket spleef, but get dunked by Tubbo's team. Of course. I was going to yell his ears off later. His team was currently in 1st place, but quickly followed by our team. If we won whatever this game is gonna be, we might be able to win.

Sands of time wins and we get sent to an odd looking room.

Spifey gets the most coins in our group. Followed by Ranboo, then me, then Clay. This game wasn't Clay's strong suit since he's more of a pvp type. We wait eagerly to see everyone's scores once the game is finish.

We're all sitting, waiting for the scores to release until

We won.

We won sands of time

"HECK YEAH TUBBSO, TAKE THAT" I yell

"YEAHHHH" Ranboo also yells

We go to see the final scores of mcc itself. Scared, but excited if our win in sands of time was enough to push us to first.

"C'monnnnnnn" I say eagerly

"We got to have won, we did so good" Spifey says

We won

"YEAHHHHHH LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO" I yell

"YEAHHHH ANOTHER MCC WIN IN THE BAG" Clay yells as well, along with Spifey who's just yelling "YEAH" and "LETS GO"

"YEAH WE DID IT, SKY! WE WON OUR FIRST MCC" Ranboo yells with me

"WE'RE JUST BUILT DIFFERENT"

I look over at chat which is just filled with pogs and hearts. I'm happy for a bit, but then I remember all the hate I'm probably gonna get and my smile falters. But I try to ignore it for now and focus on the exciting matter at hand.

We are given crowns to put on our heads and we're teleported to a stage with a cake at the end. We see everyone else who played mcc below us, Tubbo was right at the age hitting the stage. We all walked down the stage to the cake, me in f4

"WE DID IT, BOYS!" I yell

"YEAHHH, THE BEANIE BOOS MINUS TUBBO" Ranboo says

"WHAT THE HECK, ME AND SPIFEY ARE HERE TOO" Clay yells

"OH HONEY, WE BOTH KNOW THAT ME AND RANBOO CARRIED THIS TEAM" I say, suddenly feeling very powerful

Me and Ranboo we're in f4 and we were crouched, walking down the stage, struttin out stuff because we're just so swaggy. I get multiple screenshots, some with the whole team and some of just me and Ranboo.

Me, Ranboo, and Tubbo all get into a private call

"GOOD JOB YOU TWO" Tubbo yells as he joins the call

"THANK YOU TUBBSO, I TOLD YOU I'D WIN, HA!" I yell back

We talk for about 20 minutes until I decide to end stream. I deafen in Discord, still in the call.

"Hey chat! I'm gonna end stream now. I'm so thankful for being able to be in mcc, and I wanna thank the whole team for making a great one!! I know you guys are still confused, but I promise and explanation is going up tomorrow. I'll probably do a stream, post on youtube, and tweet. I love you all so much! Bye!!"

I end stream and then return to the call

"I just ended stream" I say to the 2 boys

"Alright, me and Ranboo did as well" Tubbo says

"So, I guess you guys are curious on what happened?" I ask cautiously

"Well, I was wondering, but you shouldn't be pressured to tell us yet" Ranboo says

"I was also wondering since my chat was being spammed. Had to put it on emote only for a bit. But again, you don't have to tell us if you're uncomfortable" Tubbo also says

I take a deep sigh "I'll tell you guys right now, I trust y'all" I pause a bit "So, uhm, Clay- er well for you is Dream, is my brother.."

Silence. Silence came from the call

"Are you serious?" Tubbo asks

"Uhm, yeah, I am.." I respond

"I didn't want wanna tell anyone because I wanted to get the success on my own but here we are I guess.."

"Of course we wouldn't treat you differently. I think that's like really cool. I see the resemblance between you two" Ranboo reassures

"Yeah, don't worry, you're still Sky. Nothing will change" Tubbo also says

That makes me a feel a bit better

"Thanks guys, that makes me feel better about the situation"

"No problem" Ranboo says

We talk for a couple more hours so I can try to calm my nerves

I wonder how my fans will react...
