Pov Wilbur

Saturday / june 1 st / 2021

It was a warm summer morning. As the grandfather clock stuck at 6:30 am Wilbur started to get up. After getting into a quick shower and brushing his teeth the brit started to change into a flowy butter-yellow skirt and a poofy white dress shirt. After getting dressed the young brunette glanced at the clock "7:15, should I wake up Fundy right now or should I make breakfast? Fuck it, he’ll probably smell the meat”.

The crimson-eyed man started to walk into the brightly lit kitchen as but before he could start doing anything the old dialer phone started ringing. “Huh who could be calling me?” Wilbur thought to himself as he picked up the phone. “Hey Will” a sweet voice started to slip through the light blue phone. “Why hello there Niki Nihachu” Wilbur replayed to his best friend on the other line. “Why are you call me right now I thought you were still sleeping and your shift doesn’t start until 9:45 am, I don’t mind but I know you like sleeping in on Saturdays,” The tall raven hybrid asked his best friend and business partner. “ Yeah it is pretty early haha well I just found out that Puffy’s ship is arriving today, I was wondering if you want to go down to the waterway together and met up with her? “Uh, sure I’d love to hang out with you!. The Raven hybrid said with a slight hint of surprise in his deep voice. “But before Wilbur could finish his sentence the kitchen door creaked open standing in the door frame was a slightly sleepy Fundy. “Hey, Mom who are you speaking to”? “Oh, your up funds, just Niki,” The brit said in a sweet tone.

“Can you ask if I can hang out with Foolish today?”The short boy fox boy said as he pulled out a chair from the kitchen table. “Hey Niki umm Funds was wondering if he could hang out with Foolish today, I understand if you say no because it’s Puffy’s first day home after a 6-month trip and all” Wilbur asked the siren hybrid on the other line. “Ummm wait a minute, Foolish sweetie Fundy’s asking if you want to hang out today?”Wilbur heard somebody run down the stairs, “Yeah can I, can I!” an exited Foolish excitedly half said half yelled. “Foolish said yes a happy Niki responded to the question at hand. “Awesome so should when should we meet up?” The raven boy asks. “Ummmmm what about in 45 minutes?” “Ok so at 8:15” “yep, at 8:15 by the shop. Byeee love you” said Niki. “Byeee love you too,” a happy Wilbur said. *click*

“So Fundy, What do you want to have for breakfast,” Wilbur asked as he reached for his apron.

Time skip to 8:05 Fundy just finished getting dressed after having breakfast. They both had eggs and french toasts. :>

“Hey, Fundy can you please turn off the radio” said Wilbur as he started to put on his shoes. “Sure Mom” the little fox responded. “Wilbur could hear the clatter of Fundy’s little black boots on the hardwood floor. “Fundy where are you we need to go or we’ll be late,” The tall brit said referring to the lock of time they had to spear. “Here, I just wanted to get my hat Wilby”. An exited Fundy said. Before the 2 left the apartment Wilbur grabbed his sword. “Just in case if anything happens,” he thought to himself as he was locking the door to his and his son’s home. Fundy was already running down the stairs to the store. (The way that Wilbur’s house works is that there are 3 floors. The top 2 are Wilbur’s and Fundy’s apartment and the ground floor is where the flower shop is.)

WILBUR’S POV

“Fundy sweetie wait for mommy,” Wilbur said as he started down the stairs into his and Niki’s shop. Fundy was standing by the tulip display, waiting for Wilbur to open the wooden door. His bushy orange tail wagging wildly expressing how excited he was to start causing chaos with his friend. Gods, the brit loved his little champion even if he wasn’t his bio mom he loved his dutch son as if he was his own. “What kind of bitch leaves their 4-month-old baby on a bank of a river. Letting the elements decide the fate of an innocent child .” The tall brunette thought to himself as he walked up to the front door iron key in hand. (Sally you whore)

“Fundy, do you promise me not to get into too much trouble with Foolish, I understand the urge to choose chaos but we still need customers,” said Wilbur looking at his fluff ball of a son just before unlocking the door. “Fine Mom I’ll try not to” The short kid groaned out in an annoyed tone. “FUNDY!!!!” a significantly taller shark boy called as he pulled his friend into a big bear hug. “H-hey Foolish '' a suffocating Fundy greeted his friend.

“Have fun boys and be careful, we’re going down to the ports because WIl and I need to meet Puffy there,” said Niki in her lovely German accent. So the 2 parents said bye to their sons and started heading to the docks.

The lovely town of L'Manberg was busy as usual with all the townspeople doing their morning routine, for example, Dream was buying something at the position shop, he seemed to be arguing with Minx the owner of sed establishment. As Wilbur and Niki passed the open doors and heard a bit of the conversation.

“MINX, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS BUMP UP YOUR PRICES FOR ME? WHEN GEORGE OR SAPNAP BUY STUFF FROM HERE YOU DON’T BUMP UP THE PRICE!” Dream almost screamed as he banged his hands on the Witch’s wooding counter.

“AS YOU SAID THERE MY PRICES! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH THEM! DON’T LIKE IT THEN FUCKING LEAVE” Minx screamed back, her raven hair lit up a violent violet hue.

The 2 hybrids picked up their speed so they quickly passed the angry witch’s shop.

“I swear someday that green bastard is going to anger Minx to the point where he’s going to get his ass handed to him,” said Wilbur, Niki nodding in agreement.

“True”

As the Pinkette and brunette walked through the town square they saw Eret walking her pet ferrets. He wore their newest dress, A beautiful rainbow dress that he made for Pride month. It was a tradition that citations of the little port town had and they would do every year.

“Hey Eret, I love your dress”

“Hey Wil, Hey Nkik and thank you I spent weeks on it.” Eret said as xey did a little twirl to show off more of his hard labour.

“So where are you 2 going?” she asked as they picked up one of many ferrets by her feet.

“Oh me and Wilbur were on our way to the docks because Puffy is coming back today!” the short siren girl said excitedly.

“Oh, Puffy’s going to be back today pog, can please say hi to her for me?”

“Oh of course well Will and I should start heading on our way.” Said Niki

“Well bye guys see you around,” Said Eret as he started to walk away from the 2, xier ferrets following xem.

“Wait Eret can I ask you for a favour?!”

“What kind of favour Wil?”

“Well Ummmmm I wanted to make a pride dress but I’m really bad at sawing. So can you maybe help me, It’s ok if you say no I just really admire your work.” Wilbur said embarrassed, he had problems with asking for help since he always had to fend for himself.

“Uh, Sure Will but you’ll have to help me with decorating the ballroom.”Eret replied a bit caught off guard by the crow question.

“Thank you, Eret”

“No problem Will, bye Niki Bye Wilbur,” Eret said as she headed to their casal.

“Prime, Erets such a nice person, like he helped me with moving into my apartment when we got here . Helped with babysitting Funds when I needed to run some errands, Made me this lovely skirt. The 24-year-old crow said as he pointed at his lovely butter yellow skirt that he was wearing, and now is helping me make a dress.”

“Awwww it sounds like little Wilby has a little crush on the local royalty! ”Said Niki as the 2 passed Jack’s pub effectively named “Jack’s pub”.

“NO, I DON’T!!” a flustered Wilbur almost yelled.

“Sure you don’t, “said the aforementioned pinkette

“You know what”

“What Will?”

“If you’re saying that I’m crushing on Eret then I’ll be taking that.” Said the tall brit before snatching the hat off of his friend’s head and starting to high-tale it down the waterway. The port was bustling with people trying to make trades, shop keepers sending up their tents, random people doing their own thing.

The water that day was a beautiful indigo colour, the cream foam splashing at the ships in the water. The air smelt of sea salt and freshly baked bread, the sky was a cornflower blue no clouds in sight. The lush greenery complimented the appearance of the port. Wilbur loved living here after the freezing arctic and other places he’s been like the windy lands of Ireland, the moderate climate of the Netherlands this place felt like paradise.

The man was so mesmerized by the scenery that he didn’t hear or see his hatless friend approach him from behind.

“Aha, mine!” Said Niki grabbing her lovely hat from Wilbur’s grasp.

“AHHH, fuck Niki you scared the living shit out of me!”

“Hahaha”

T I M E S K I P T H E Y A R E T R Y I N G T O F I N D P U F F Y ’S S H I P

“ Soooo which one is Puffy’s?” asked Wilbur. The 2 of them were standing by the shipping dock.

“She has a pretty big ship, oh and she has a sheep on her shails.”

“Ok so were looking for a big ship with a sheep on it”

“Will look”

“Huh, wait that’s Puffy’s ship”

“Yeah!! let’s go” says Niki before running to the ship. Her yale dress waving in the wind.

“Niki wait up for me”

…

Puffy was standing next to the cargo, logging what happened on this trip but before she was able to finish writing the part sheep part pirate got hug attacked by her girlfriend.

“PUFFY!!!”

“NIKI!!”

The 2 girlfriends hugged each other. “Oh my prime, Niki I missed you so much,” Puffy said before burying her head in Niki’s shoulder.

“Me too Puffy, me too.” said Niki

The 2 of them stood like that for a couple more minutes before separating and starting to hold hands.

“Hello, Puffy. Long time no see” Wilbur said

“Hey Wilbur, yeah it’s been a long 6 months lol”

“Eret said Hi”

“Oh pog I should say hello to them”

Wilbur saw someone lurking behind Puffy. “Umm hey, Puffy not to interrupt your reunion with Niki but who is that?” The crimson eyed raven said pointing at the figure behind the Sheep hybrid. “Oh, That’s Quackity, my crew found him on the shore covered in blood.” Puffy replayed nonchalantly. “Wel that’s fucking horrific” a slightly disturbed Wilbur replied.

QUACKITY’S POV

The bird hybrid stepped off of the giant ship for he was looking for the Captain that let him stay on her ship and start anew in a land far away from all of his problems, or so he thought. Looking around the port to spot Puffy hugging a person with long bubblegum pink hair. As Quackity started to look more intently, he spotting that the person had scale on their arms and gills on their neck.

“Ah a Siren or fish hybrid, this must be Puffy’s girlfriend Niki then.” He thought as he started approaching them. But before the raven-haired boy could be in hearing distance to them he saw him.
