Tommy walked up to the little cottage in Snowchester, knocking on the door.

He had agreed to babysit Michael since Ranboo and Tubbo were going out. He had done it before, and it was really fun. Tommy was never given any specifics on where they were going or what they were doing, but he always agreed anyways. He wouldn't admit it out loud, but he had a soft spot for the little piglin hybrid.

He was broken out of his thoughts by Ranboo opening the door. "Oh! Hi Tommy! Thanks for watching Michael while we're out." Ranboo opened the door for Tommy to walk in. Tommy simply nodded at the tall enderian, stepping into the house.

"Uncle Tommy!" Tommy heard Michael shout. He smiled, kneeling and stretching his arms, letting Michael hug him. The little piglin hybrid ran up to him and launched himself into Tommy's outstretched arms, Tommy standing and spinning both of them around.

"How ya doin' Big M?" Tommy asked him, resting him on his hip and ruffling his hair. Michael half giggled, half snorted. "I'm doing good Uncle Tommy!"

Tommy's smile somehow grew bigger than it already was.

Tubbo walked up to the two, a gentle smile placed on his face. "Well, we'll be leaving now. Pretty sure you already know where everything is," Tommy nodded. "And Michael! Be good, we'll be back soon!" Tubbo and Ranboo each gave a hug to Michael before leaving to whatever 'secret mission' they had.

Tommy smiled down at Michael. "Wanna go to my house? Or we could visit the flower field near Techno's place?" Michael eagerly nodded, deciding on the flower field. "Okay, get your coat on!" Tommy set him down, the piglin rushing upstairs to grab his coat.

Tommy chuckled at the boy's antics.

The two walked down a dirt path between his old exile camp and Techno's house, going to the flower field that he had found a while back, while Tommy explained what primes were to Michael.

The sun was setting, but they still had time before they had to go back since Tubbo and Ranboo work rather late.

They eventually made it to the flower field, the sky all sorts of oranges and reds. It was beautiful.

Michael sat down in the flowers, Tommy sitting next to him. The small piglin snuggled into Tommy's side. His heart melted, and he looked back to the sunset, a peaceful silence laying over the meadow.

Eventually the sun disappeared from the sky.

Tommy sighed and scooped Micheal up, deciding that Techno's portal was closer than the exile portal was. As the two traveled to the portal, mobs began to spawn.

Tommy quickened his pace, footsteps crunching in the snow.

Suddenly an arrow whizzed by his shoulder.

Tommy set Michael down under a tree, pulling out his sword. "Stay here, buddy." Tommy said to the piglin hybrid before launching himself at a skeleton, blocking it from shooting Michael. An arrow pierced his shoulder before it died.
