Phil Watson was laying on the couch at about lunchtime, binge-watching some random TV program because he was bored when suddenly he heard a CRASH! in his streaming room and immediately went to check it out, stumbling and running whilst avoiding as much furniture as he could towards the location.

Philza was in his and Techno’s shared cabin, sorting through some chests when he had the idea to go to the nether to get some potion ingredients since they were running low on them when he checked the chests. He immediately ran out of the house, got out his enchanted, glowing trident from his inventory and made a throwing motion, suddenly going high into the air as the magic from the trident propelled him upwards. He could see a random nether portal close by to him near a snowy cliff, so he placed down some water the millisecond he was going to hit the ground and luckily he was fine! Philza straightened up his green and white bucket hat on his blonde hair and, intending to see the red, firey literal hellscape of a land that was the nether, he entered the portal.

The winged man slipped and fell on the floor because he didn’t expect the small step. He quickly got up and looked around as he scrutinised the cream coloured room and came face-to-face with a blonde man in a black t-shirt that had hearts on it, Philza immediately went on guard, pulling out an iron sword in a scabbard connected to his haori as he noticed he didn’t have an inventory, or hunger, or even hearts!

“W-Who the heck are you and why are you in my house?!” Phil shouted at the intruder who suddenly entered through his house. On instinct, Philza pointed the iron sword to Phil’s neck, trying to appear threatening “Hey man, didn’t wanna get killed today!” Phil said, scared for his life with his hands up in the air, surrendering. “How about you tell me what’s going on, then we’ll walk away like this never happened” Philza growled to his counterpart. “Aight, gimme a second mate!” The blonde man said as he got a beanbag from the corner of the room and moved it into the centre of said room as he plopped down on it with an awkward chuckle. “Right, so basically.. not sure how to say this but I created you? My friends and I play this game called Minecraft- uh, which is where you come from, and we basically roleplay in this server called The Dream SMP” Phil explained nervously, Philza was at a loss for words as he stared, flabbergasted at his irl counterpart. “So.. my life, everyone’s life.. it isn’t real?” Philza said with sadness as his wings twitched here and there. “Yeah.. sorry to break it to ya, mate and…. Sorry for making your life miserable, if I would’ve known you were real from the start, I would’ve never written you like what you are now” Phil gave a melancholic smile and suddenly hugged the bird-man. However, their moment of peace was cut short. “Phil! Is everything alright? I thought I heard a crash!” Kristin called from upstairs. “Nope, everything’s alright dear!” Phil called back to her, obviously lying, but he wasn’t lucky enough to have his wife believe the lie as both Philza’s heard her suddenly going down the stairs to the streaming room. Kristin opened the door, expecting to see her husband on the floor with a twisted ankle or something along the lines of that, what she didn’t expect to see, was two of her husbands, comforting each other and one having wings.

“Uh, hi?” Philza shyly chuckled and tried to hide behind Phil but he was easy to see as his wings were still out. Phil explained the whole mess to his wife as she nodded along. “Huh, so he’s basically just Minecraft you? Just in real life?” Kristin questioned as Phil nodded. “What if other SMP members came through the portal?” she asked Philza. “Well, you’ll just have to take care of em like you took care of me today, ay mate?” Philza said to them both, although it was mainly directed to Phil. Just as he said that, the blood god himself, Technoblade, came through the strange nether portal. He noticed the three staring sets of eyes on him, deciding this was going to be a long day for him. "Eh?"
