Dream's POV:

"Tubbo! Tubbo, come on! I'm sorry about Sapnap, okay? He didn't mean that!" I yelled as I speed-walked after the small boy from therapy. "Can we just continue to discuss our plan? Come on!"

Tubbo turns around, a few tears streaming down his face. "How about you just leave me alone right now, Dream? Can't you see I don't want to talk to you?" He yells, obviously upset.

"I don't understand what I did! I want to help you find Tommy, alright? If you don't let me help you, then I can't do that!" I was trying to be as easy as I could with him, since I knew he was fragile. "Please, Tubbo.. We can find him."

I could see that the kid was considering it, he just looked so hurt. He needed help, and that was just the most obvious part.

"If you're upset that Sapnap came over, I dealt with it, he's gone now! I didn't ask for him to come over, you can check my phone for all I care!" I step towards him, holding my arms out. I knew that he needed a shoulder to cry on right now, and I was going to help him the best I could.

Surely enough, Tubbo came running towards me, crying onto my shirt. I rubbed his back, sighing. "It's okay, Tubbo, it's okay. We're gonna find him.." I reassure the boy.

Tommy's POV:

After mine and George's discussion of what we were going to do, we decided that we were going to at least ask Wilbur where a few large air pockets were. We agreed that George would go in and ask, and say that I was feeling sick and needed some air, since the surface wasn't an option.

Did it sound like a solid plan? Yes, yes it did. The only thing we could hope is that Wilbur DOES NOT tell anyone else. However, he's going to want to come with us if he thinks i'm sick. He's just a bit protective like that. Maybe, just maybe, if he even tried to tell the authorities that I could stop him. I can tell him that i'm scared of Techno, and just maybe George and I could get away with this.

A good few minutes passed before we reached Wilbur's humble abode. He lived quite close to Schlatt and Techno, because he's considered a friend of theirs.

George knocks on Wilbur's door, and he signals for me to hide. I hide right above his little home, waiting for him to answer the door. Sure enough, Wilbur opens his door, and smiled.

"Why hello there, George! What are you doing around here, can I help you with something?" Wilbur asks, seeming excited to have company.

George smiles back, but it falters. Good, he's acting. "Hey, Wilbur! So, if you wouldn't mind, i'm delivering a question from Tommy. Do you wish to hear it?"

Wilbur's smile faded as well. "He's not here to tell me himself? Is he alright, is there something wrong?" It was obvious that he cared about me.

"Well, he's not feeling too good. He had come to me, well, because I was closer. He asked me if you knew where any large air pockets were? He feels like he needs some fresh air, since the surface isn't really an option. And before you ask, he's made it clear that he doesn't want to visit any doctors, he's scared of them." George explained. Other than the fact that he made me seem like a wuss, the acting was acceptable. He was selling it.

"He's not feeling well? Can I see him?" Wilbur asks.

"Well you see, Wilbur, i'm not sure if he'd like company right now. Maybe when he's feeling a bit better? I promise you i'll tell you as soon as he's feeling alright." George nods reassuringly, making sure that Wilbur didn't sense anything fishy. Heh.

"Hmm.." Wilbur began to think. I could tell from the bit of distance that George was nervous, but he kept his character. "Yeah. There's a spot near the coral reef that I go to write some of my music. There's enough room there for someone to lie down in there, and you wouldn't be completely surrounded by water. That's the biggest spot I know of. Do you want me to show you where it is?" Wilbur asked.

George thought for a second, since both of us had no clue where it was. "Um, i'm not sure if I have enough time for that... could you just give me directions?" George asked.

Wilbur seemed hesitant at first, but nodded. "Yeah, sure. From here, you take a left and go for about a mile. Then, you'll be greeted by a very lively coral reef, and a bunch of fish. Keep in mind, this is still in the kingdom. You go around that coral reef until you see some big opening, you go in, and there it is. Once Tommy feels better, please inform me, or i'm going to have to find him myself." The man demands, and George nods.

"Well, thank you, Wilbur! Like I said, I swear i'll let you know. Have a lovely day!" George smiles, and looks at me as soon as Wilbur shuts his door. He moves his hand, signaling for me to follow him. I do, and we start heading left.

I'm going to find you, Tubbo. I have to.

Tubbo's POV:

After mine and Dream's 'moment,' per say, we went back to his apartment, and happy to find that Sapnap had left.

"Maybe you should text Sapnap, just letting him know that you're alright." I suggest, knowing that that's something I would've wished that Tommy could do for me.

Dream nods, seeming to do what I said, picking up his phone, and tapping. Once he's done, he looks up at me, setting his phone down.

"Okay, so what do you wanna do first? Explore the ocean on boat, or just do a bunch of research on myths?" Dream asks, waiting for my opinion.

"Doesn't your dad have a boat and diving equipment? We could go diving tomorrow morning, and see what we can find. I don't think we're gonna find Tommy or the other guy in some coral reef with cute fishies. The man I saw holding Tommy the day I lost him... he had some type of marking on his arm. It looked like a really big kingdom." I inform Dream, and that seemed to really ring a bell.

"Alright, decision made. We're going to do research first, specifically on the mark that you saw on that guys arm. Maybe, we could find some type of kingdom in old underwater history books?" Dream grins, and I do as well.

"Maybe that's where he brought Tommy! That can also be where your boy lives!" I can't help but get excited, we were going to find Tommy.

Im going to find you, Tommy. I know you're out there.
