"It's this way Tubbo," Tommy took the same turn he had the day before, pulling his brother along, "I remember we turned here."

"Oh yeah, we did," Tubbo nodded, pulling some roses from his bag, "Here, take a rose. We need to take at least two so we can breed them." Tommy nodded and held out the flowers to the bees. A few took an interest and began following them.

"Okay, now we just take them back," Tommy took a few steps backward and the bees followed happily, "Did you set up the hive?"

"Yup," Tubbo nodded, doing the same as Tommy, "This might take a while..." They kept walking, keeping as many of the bees interested as possible. By the time they got to the spot of their planned treehouse, they each had one bee following them.

"What do we do now?" Tommy looks around at the area, which didn't have any flowers. The beehive Tubbo had crafted stood alone on a fence post.

"We plant the flowers but the hive and they'll stay. Of course, they'll fly away from time to time but they'll always come back," Tubbo dug a small hole for his rose and put it next to the hive, "We should make a little garden for them!" He pulled out more flowers and began planting them around. Tommy does the same with his rose, then pulls out some fence posts.

"Hey you two," Techno startled both of them, making Tubbo drop his shovel on his hand and Tommy knock over one of his fences. Techno laughed and propped the fence back up. His hair was up in a messy bun, a tool belt rested on his hips, lower on one side, he had a black turtleneck on, and he had glasses instead of contacts. He had different earrings on as well. They hung off his ears with gold chains, had shiny gems at the end that sparkled in the light, and matched the chains hanging from his glasses.

(i'm simping for techno's character, leave me alone)

(think like, fox's cosplay mixed with anime techno and that's what i'm picturing)

"Why do you always do that?" Tommy complained, leaning on a fence post, "You always walk so quietly! It's so annoying."

"You would know about annoying, wouldn't you?" Techno nudged Tommy with a small smile. Tommy rolled his eyes and "nudged" his brother in the rib with his elbow, "Ouch. Anyways, what are you up to?"

"We're making a garden for the bees," Tubbo filled in, "Then we're going to make a treehouse in that tree. What have you been doing?" He pointed to the tallest tree in the area, which already had a few ladders that led up to a small platform.

"I was training, but any and all motivation I had for that disappeared," Techno shrugged, "Phil said you two were here so I decided to stop by. I could help if you want?"

"Of course!" Tubbo smiled, "Do you have a bucket on you? I want to make a little pond."

"Yeah, I can do that," Techno nodded, rolled up his sleeves, then pulled a bucket from his bag and pulled a shovel out of his tool belt. While he dug out a small pond and filled it, Tommy continued the fence. Tubbo finished planting his flowers, then helped Tommy. Techno's face was graced with a small smile when he saw his younger brothers laughing and working together.

(i am simping so hard for techno rn you don't understand)

"Well, I have things to do back at home," Techno ruffled his brother's hair, "You should be back in a few hours for lunch."
