War. A small word for such a big meaning.

I haven't slept at all since last night...! And thats because I was preparing for the fight. Weird- I know- But it's true.

I determined I was so underprepared and decided to grind for netherite for the entire night. Somehow... just somehow... I managed to get pretty good upgraded stuff! I was surprised... I was surprised I didn't feel like complete and other shit right now.

My brain was probably still overstimulated... But, it's whatever.

War was upon us! There is no need and time to worry about things like sleep!

By the time I saw people logging onto the server, they were surprised to see me on so early, but they didn't question it. They just greeted me with a simple "hello" and continued their prep work.

Looking over at the clock in my room, I noticed I still had two hours before the conflict started. So, I took this opportunity to speed run a shower before I started my stream.

I got up from my gaming chair and walked over to my drawers to search for some clothes for me to wear.

And after searching for some time, I found my Skeppy Craft Face Edition Hoodie. A simple XL blue hoodie with Skeppy's minecraft characters face on the top bit of the hood.

Seems good for the occasion.... I guess.

Not like anyone would see me wearing it, so- meh.

I took the hoodie, some underwear, as well as a brush before heading over to my bathroom to freshen up.

After cleaning off my gamer sweat and changing into my Skeppy merch, I headed back to my room as quickly and as quietly as possible.

While drying off the damp parts in my hair, I heard my phone notifications going off... well- it was more like my phone was ringing.

Someone was calling me.

I draped the slightly soaked towel around my neck and walked over to my desk where my phone was resting.

Aiden was calling me.

I quickly dried my hand off on my hoodie and answered the call, leaving it on my desk as I sat down and continued to dry my hair.

"Ello?" I said.

"Y/N....! you actually picked up..." Aiden mutters out, a bit surprised.

I raised an eyebrow in a bit of confusion.

"You didn't expect me to?"

"Well... not really" Aiden replied, voice lowered.

A small smile cracked on my face.

"Have more faith in me, dumb nut"

"I- ugh... whatever..." He murmurs.

"Anyways, why call?" I asked, finally finishing my hair drying process, leaving the towel to hang around my shoulders once more.

There was silence. No one replied. I thought for a second Aiden dropped the call, but it seemed like it was still connected when my eyes glanced over at the screen.

He just wasn't talking.

"Aiden?" I called out.

"Uhhh... Well..." Aiden finally began to speak "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and Luca at the movies. We're going to go in about an hour and... uhh... yeah"

After Aiden finished his sentence, I felt a small bit of guilt enter my system.

I took a glance over at my room's clock to see that the SMP event would be starting in about 45 minutes.

A sigh escaped my lips.

"...I'm sorry Aiden. I have something to do." I say, glancing back towards my phone.

There was a bit of a pause before Aiden spoke.

"...You're busy with that SMP?"

His voice sounded in a mix of disappointment and annoyance. I don't blame him since I haven't been able to hang out with the two of them ever since I got into the SMP... But, he has to understand, right?

"There's a pretty big and important event coming up in 45 minutes... So, I can't really miss it. You understand, don't you?" I told him.

Aiden was saying something- I didn't know what he was saying though. His words were in mumbles and grumbles. Maybe it was directed towards me, I assumed anyways.... So I decided to ask.

"Hmmm? What was that, Aiden?" I asked.

"It's... nothing. And- yeah, I understand." Aiden replied, letting out a sigh afterwards "See you at school, Y/N"

"Yeah! Cya Aiden!" I said with a smile "Tell me how the movie goes" I added before Aiden hung up the call.

More guilt started to enter my system once I ended my side of the call.

"...He is totally pissed off" I groaned out.

But, he has to understand that this is a once in a life time opportunity! I can't just let this pass up...!

I tossed my wet towel over into the basket in the corner of my room and put my attention to the screen in front of me.

It's a big day for the SMP! So, I have to be on my best behavior and be my usual self. So- I can't let my lack of sleep fuck it all up!

Opening up streamlabs, I got everything ready to stream. With a click of a button, my stream started and I waited for people to chime in.

Slowly but surely, my streams viewers began to climb up. My chat flooded with messages while the song in the background played out on my "just starting" overlay.

Everyone seemed hyped. And- of course... there seemed to be more people here than usual. Possibly waiting for the bigger streamers to start...

Well, gotta give everyone a warm welcome...!

I waited another ten seconds before unmuting myself and switching my overlay to my game one.

"Hello! What's poppin'? How are you all doing today?" I asked chat.

The chat began to spam their responses, all seeming to be doing well.

"Great to hear you lot! Anywho- for those who don't know what's happening today... Technoblade and Dream are going to destroy Manberg soon... And Tommy and co are trying to prevent that from happening..!" I explained "It's a country they love so dearly and have very great and fawn memories in... So- it's understandable..."

I walked around my minecraft house for a bit, visiting my pet strider: Leg's 4 Days.

"So, my beloved. I will be gone to war for some time. I promise I'll be back. Kisses- hugs- nuzzels- and OwO's" I say to my strider, getting closer and shifting to the meatball looking creature.

It shortly walks away from me, seemingly not having any of my affection.

"It's a tough marriage-" I jokingly said to chat.

I walked away from my strider and began to make my way to Manberg via the portal networks.

"But yeah- anyways- back on the topic at hand.... in a nutshell I'll be aiding in the prevention of Manberg's destruction! With all the nice resources I got from grinding on the server for hours..." I told them, showing off my characters inventory.

My whole inventory was decked out. Gapples, golden carrots, enchantment bottles, enchanted tools and netherite armor, potions, crossbows, arrows-- I felt like I pretty much had everything ready for this upcoming war.

"Okay- now... I'm just saying... If I somehow manage to kill at least one of those fowl beasts with these items, I expect at least one hundred dollars in a pay check- emailed to me via carrier pigeon" I said.

Even though it was mostly a joke on my part, I kinda wanna see it happen. The carrier pigeon I mean- I could care less about the money.... maybe--

.

.

.

The whole stream went by as fast as it came.

Dream and Technoblade destroyed Manberg, there was a lot of chaos! though sadly- I wasn't able to kill Techno or Dream during it (rip carrier pigeon)... there was come cool ass speeches- gotta be amazing for the animatics... And--- I guess that's pretty much it!

There will also probably be some good Dream SMP songs too! I always love listening to them... They always play with your heart strings or slap in one way or another..!

Like- oh my god-- Technoblade's speech to Tommy..!! I was trying so hard not to fan girl in that moment...!!

I was silently cheering Techno in that moment because of how well crafted the speech was... Seriously... So well done that I kinda felt like crying or breaking character-

During that battle, some strange things did happen... Like- my game was glitching and lagging more than usual, a lot of people noticed it this time around... Some people thought I turned on my hack client or something-- it made me laugh a little.

But, with everything finally coming to an end, I kinda just wanted to head off and go for a long relaxing sleep.

I ended my stream a while ago, so all I needed to do was log off the server and turn off my PC for the night.

...but I sided against it once I got an incoming message from Tommy on discord.
