time is weird, so we go yet another day. tubbo and tommy did a stream yesterday, techno and eret have been ghosting for almost all day, and phil's been checking on everyone every hour or so. wilbur's been outside doing things, tommy and tubbo take their break, they take some time for themselves, and for a whole day things feel almost normal. evening comes pretty quickly, and now they're eager to get back to chaos time

hope you enjoy :]

Phil stood at his window, looking out on the clouds and stars.

Phil swore he could feel something, it was there before. But he couldn't find it. He couldn't hear the muffled perspectives anymore.

Tommy's voice interrupted him loud and clear like a megaphone. "Phil! Phil! Stop being a boring, hurry up!"

Phil jumped and let out a startled breath. "Oh my god," he mumbled to no one. This was how it was going to be now, wasn't it.

"Wilbur's going to make it back before you even take a step!" Tommy called.

Phil tossed up one hand in defeat and looked up.

"No point in stargazing, Phil. Wilbur and Tubbo are going to make it back before us. Come on, let's go!"

"Yeah, yeah, I heard you the first time."

Phil turned off the light, left his body, and reappeared in the small room. It was just Tommy. Phil looked Tommy dead in the eye. Tommy didn't take any notice and continued with his banter.

"Took you long enough."

"It's not my fault. You never told me what time."

"Doesn't matter. You're still last. Everyone else is waiting."

Phil wasn't going to argue with him.

Tommy didn't hesitate as he brought them back to the fountain. It was much earlier than last time, and there were still some people lining the streets. The lawn light Phil had broken was still shattered on the grass, and it lingered onto the walkway. No one had bothered to pick it up, and he felt a little guilty for leaving such a mess. It seemed they could go nowhere without making a mess. Eret was talking to Wilbur and Techno, while Tubbo was clearly fidgeting and bored.

Tubbo was the first to notice them. "See I told you!" He turned around to shout and point at Phil. Everyone glanced at Phil and Tommy momentarily.

"Good, you're here." Wilbur gestured to Techno. Techno flashed out of sight for a millisecond and came back with his crown. Tommy glanced at the crown and then up at Eret.

"So he's allowed to steal and I'm not?" Tommy joked. Eret shushed him.

Techno disappeared from sight and the crown waved up and down. "I don't get why it's such a big deal." He flipped it once.

Tommy went up to grab the crown. "Can I do that?"

"I don't know. Eret also..." Eret shot Phil a glance, but he got distracted by Tommy's sudden scream of excitement. Phil hadn't seen what happened or where he had gone. He worried for a second.

Relief filled his chest as Tommy screamed excitedly, "Woah! Look! Guys! Look! Oh." Tommy and Techno both reappeared holding his crown. Tommy still had a firm grip on it. Tommy yanked it away from Techno's hands.

"Give it back." Techno demanded.

"It's not yours," Tommy protested, holding it farther away from him.

"I will genuinely take it and ensure you never get your hands on anything of mine ever again if you don't give it back." Techno held out his hand. His words had no meaning as Tommy only held it closer to the fountain.
