End Of The World ( Dream SMP AU )

Squirrel Boy

Days pass slowly in the apocalypse sometimes. Other times they pass so fast you can feel your head spinning. Tommy and the tubblings had made it through another 2 weeks. The two siblings were feeling better. Lani was up helping Puffy when she needed it. Tubbo was still mostly in his sleeping bag, but back to his normal self. They were struggling to find food daily, and Puffy lost sleep over it. Constantly fearing that they would starve to death. They always seemed to find something though. Unfortunately sometimes it had to be a squirrel, like today.

"Tommy, food is food" Puffy said as she tried to give him some of the cooked squirrel.

"That's not food! It's a squirrel! What the fuck!" He refused to eat it. There was barely any meat on it anyway.

"You should be lucky I'm letting you eat it. I was going to let the tubblings share it." Puffy rolled her eyes.

"Uh, Tubbo can have it. I'm not eating a bloody squirrel."

Puffy sighed "don't be a baby, Tubbo would take a bite out of a raw squirrel if I told him to."

"That's because Tubbo is mental. Has the brain of a crackhead he does..." Tommy knew Tubbo was the kind of maniac to lick a live squirrel just out of boredom. Often he wondered why he was friends with such a chaotic person.

"So...you're not eating it?" She asked once more.

"No, definitely not."

"Okay" Puffy brought it to Tubbo, knowing he'd at least give it a try. Puffy knew eating squirrels wasn't desirable, but they had to survive.

Tommy went to talk to Sam, who was guarding their base. "Sam, is Puffy losing her mind?"

"We're all losing our minds Tommy, what did she do now?" Sam looked over at him.

"She just tried to feed me a squirrel." Tommy complained.

"I know it's gross, but she's just trying her best to keep you kids alive." Sam tried to make him understand why Puffy would offer him weird things to eat.

"I'd rather starve..." He mumbled.

"No you wouldn't, you have a long life to live yet. I think there's some berries in Puffy's tent. Go eat some of those at least." Sam yawned.

"Are you tired?" Tommy ignored the thing about the berries. He knew Skeppy was in there and he didn't want to deal with him.

"Yeah I am, I didn't sleep for the last...3 days?" Sam admitted. Like everyone else, he had sleepless nights.

"Oh...could I keep watch of the camp? I've got nothing better to do. Tubbo is still resting, and says I'm annoying when I keep talking about women to him. Cause he can't just get up and walk away from me." Tommy crossed his arms.

Sam laughed and shook his head. "No Tommy, it's not your job to watch over the camp. Go talk about women with Puffy. She likes them just as you do."

"Noo I tried to but she said if I get a woman before her, she'll kill me." Tommy mumbled, acting like it wasn't a joke.

"You don't need a woman yet. You're only 16. There's plenty of time for women when your 20." Sam assured him.

"20?! Fuck that. Can I please just guard the base?" Tommy wanted something important to do. Dream never let the kids do anything.

"Tommy-"

"Dream never let me do anything helpful. I just want to do my equal part in the group."

Sam sighed and thought about it. "Okay, do you know how to use a gun?"

"No...I have an axe and even then I'm lost on how to properly hold it." Tommy said, embarrassed.
