Rest (Ghost Au)

Chapter 17

"You found out all of that while I was snoring my arse off?" Tubbo asked as he and Tommy walked out of his house. 

"Yeah, so you in?" Tommy asked.

"Well, if that's what they want," Tubbo said. "It would be easier since we can collect info for them outside the forest. Where do we start anyway?"

"I have no clue," Tommy said. "But you know who could have?"

"Uhh," Tubbo thought about it for a moment. "...Yeah, I have nothing."

Tommy groaned, "There is literally a whole arse family of psychics that live in this town."

"Oh yeah! We can ask Ranboo," Tubbo exclaimed. "Do you think his at the bakery?" 

"It's a weekend so I doubt he's at school."

The two of them walked the familiar route to the bakery that had became their favorite place to get food. Tommy pushed the door and the chimes clanked together alerting the people inside that someone had entered. 

"Wel—oh! Hello you two," Niki greeted them. "What can I do for you? Hopefully not pastries 'cause I think you two have been enjoying them too much," she giggled.

"Well, do we have good news for you Niki," Tommy said.  "One, we're fucking broke, and two—" he was interrupted by a loud crashing sound that came from the kitchen.

"Fundy?" Niki called. 

The white doors of the kitchen opened revealing Fundy who's covered in flour. "Hey Niki," he dragged the word out. "I—uh—yeah. The kitchen...mmmm.....broke?"

Niki sighed. She should have known better than to let Fundy in her kitchen. She turned back to the two teens, "and two?"

"Is Ranboo here?" Tubbo asked.

"Ranboo? No. I think he's at home at the moment," Niki said.

"Aww dang it," Tubbo said. 

"I can take you two there," Fundy suggested as he dusted himself. 

"Oh, coo—"

"But! What do I get in return?" Fundy asked.

"Are you seriously going to try and scam Ranboo's friends?" Niki crossed her arms on her chest. Tubbo and Tommy were mockingly shaking their heads, waving their fingers, and 'tsk'-ing behind Niki.

Fundy hummed, "Alright, fine." He walked to the other side of the counter and wrapped his arms around Tommy and Tubbo's shoulders. "I have to change clothes anyway." He begins leading them out the shop.

And with that Niki waved at the three as they left her bakery. When the door closed, a though crossed Niki's mind. "He really just left me to clean the kitchen by myself didn't he?" she sighed.

"So," Fundy started. "Why exactly are you two looking for Ranboo?"

"Just gonna ask him a couple of questions," Tubbo said.

"What kind of questions?"

"What's it to you furry boy?" Tommy asked back. Tubbo nudged Tommy with his elbow giving him a 'Why the fuck are you saying that to the person helping us?' kind of look. 

"Okay, first of all, just because my hair looks like fox ears does not mean that I'm a furry!" Fundy defended. "Second, I also live there, so I should know your motives as to why I'm taking you to my house."

Tommy hummed, "Alright, fair point." He nodded, "Tubbo you tell him in the vaguest way possible."

"Okay, so basically, ghosts."
