Chapter Text
Wifies was dead, right?
Parrot had seen the death message himself.
”Wifies was blown up by ParrotX2”
”Wifies left the game.”
So then how was Wifies right in front of him?
***
Parrot and Theo were hanging out in their potions shop like everyday, the shop reeked of spider eye due to the amount of invisibility potions being brewed.
“But if you had to choose, the bear is 100% winning the fight against 100 men!” Theo argued
”I feel like more context is needed in this situation. Like how athletic are the 100 men? Is the bear fully grown?” Parrot said simply, while grabbing blaze powder out of a chest.
”Yeah whatever, man.” Theo scoffed.
Just then, the shop’s door opened up, a standard-looking player rushing in. They seemed to be carrying some sort of book. A book and quill Parrot quickly observed.
”I have mail for… a ‘ParrotX2’?” the player recited, reading off of the book and quill.
”Oh, that’s me.” Parrot said, hopping over the counter and taking the book and quill from the mailman. Who had left as abruptly as they’d came in.
Parrot and Theo observed the Book and quill, neither of them got mail very often, so it was a bit of a surprise when someone got mail. Parrot opened the book and quill casually and read it aloud for Theo:
”Parrot,
It’s a bit weird, writing to you. Or anyone, for that matter…
I would greet you formally but you should know who I am by now. I also see that your friend Theo is here, no? I hope he’s been doing a good job of protecting you.
Anyways, I’ll cut straight to the point.
- - - - - , - -, - - - (just pretend there are coords)
Do not bring Theo, you’ll be in no danger here. I will see to it.
-Anonymous”
”I’ve actually never heard something more sketchy in my life.” Theo said, brows furrowed. And Parrot had to agree, it was weird but not very out of place on the Unstable SMP. What concerned Parrot the most was the way the note was written. It was a bit… familiar.. to Parrot.
”Parrot, hello? Stop zoning out like that, man!” Theo said, waving his hand in front of Parrot’s face. Parrot jumped a little as he zoned back in.
“My bad, bro.” Parrot said, “Yeah, the book is very sketchy, it just, I don’t know, reminded me of something? The weird thing is I don’t even remember what it reminds me of.”
Theo went back to brewing potions as he saw Parrot and zoned back in, taking the invisibility potions off of the brewing stand and putting them in chests. “Yeah, well what are we gonna do about it? I doubt that player was telling the truth when they said that you’d be safe going there. So I don’t think you should go. If you do, you’re obviously bringing me, right?”

Parrot are you stupid? This is the most obvious trap I think someone’s ever made. I don’t want something bad to happen to you bro..” Theo was extremely concerned. Parrot had just told him he was going to the coordinates alone. But despite Theo’s protests, Parrot had made up his mind and was going. Though Parrot wasn’t dumb, either. Parrot knew that there was also a good chance of it being a trap so Parrot would also be taking their elytra.
”It’s gonna be fine, bro. I’ll use the elytra and fly out super easy if anything goes wrong. And besides, dude, I’m not as helpless as you think I am; I can fend for myself, bro.” Parrot reasoned with Theo, he knew it would be hard to convince Theo that he would be fine but Parrot was confident in his persuasion abilies.
Theo was still, rightfully so, not convinced, “What if I come with you there and watch with invis? If anything goes wrong I’ll be there as your backup!” Theo thought this was a pretty foolproof plan, and he had to admit, was a bit proud of himself.
Parrot finally folded, “I guess that could work. You can come with me.” Parrot said, sighing with a smile creeping across his face.
***
Parrot and Theo slowly but surely made their way to the coords. They couldn’t use the train system as they only went to prominent cities and towns across Unstable. They unfortunately had a run in with a group of bandits, luckily Parrot had Theo to help him out. Parrot was always a bit surprised with how easily Theo could maneuver the battlefield. After they finished them off they decided to set up camp for a chance to chill and re-gear.
“Hey Parrot, what ever happened to your other friend, what was his name? ….Wifies! That’s it.. whatever happened to you two? You guys used to seem inseparable. There would never be a Parrot without a Wifies.” Theo asked him, biting into freshly cooked steak.
Parrot shifted his wings, uncomfortable. It was a very weird topic for him to discuss, and Parrot didn’t feel like bringing back those old memories.
”Honestly, Theo,” Parrot started, “I don't know either.”
And they left it at that.
***
After a bit, Theo and Parrot packed up their camp and continued on their journey. Theo had made them both feel uncomfortable earlier, but was trying to break the ice by asking his weird little scenarios like earlier.
”What about Me against 10 Wemmbus? There is only one correct answer, by the way.” Theo asked, walking backwards so he could face Parrot.
”I dunno, bro. You?” Parrot chuckled.
Then, he noticed something.
”Theo, I think we found what the book was talking about…”
