#the 16th

[peninkwrites]

On this the 16th of November let's talk about the happy five minutes, shall we? I wanna talk about the happy five minutes.

The Happy Five Minutes is the period between Schlatt's death/defeat and Wilbur blowing up L'Manberg. It is the last stretch of time where they thought things would be okay, that things would work out, that they had won and it meant something. Niki ignores the TNT below the podium because it doesn't matter. They won, and Schlatt is dead, and it's finally over. She'll be able to go back to her bakery. Tubbo is made president, and maybe he's a little scared, but Wilbur said he was a good kid, he put his trust in him, and Tubbo will return the favor. He makes a speech that is hopeful for the future, because why would it be anything else? Tommy gets to feel relieved. They didn't have to blow it up after all! Wilbur is still here, and so is L'Manberg, and that's all that matters to him. So when Wilbur says he'll be right back, why would anyone not believe him? They'd won, right?

It was five minutes, and then it was over, and they can never go back.
