Building a Bridge

Flowers and Melodies

I woke up early(like usual) and started my day. I wanted to relax today; I had already seen Sally yesterday. Her dad only let me visit her once a week cause he doesn't like me; then a thought occurred to me, "Well I could hang out with Tommy and Tubbo. Maybe do a little personal investigation."

And that's how I got two over-active imps playing hide and seek.

It was scary how good they were.

"Tommy! Tubbo! Please come out! I promise the game's over now," I pleaded with them.

I heard a rustling from behind and relief filled me.

"Oh thank goodness. I don't care which one you are but I give up now, ok?" I smiled.

I heard a faint tapping behind me but before I could turn to look-

"HAH. I got you!"

I fell to the ground as someone(probably Tommy) tackled me and sat on my back triumphantly. I got dirt in my mouth as I was trying to move my head to a comfortable spot.

I heard a childish voice from above laugh with pride while chanting, "We wo-on~ We wo-on~"

I chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, you imp. Now get off me. I've got dirt everywhere."

The child grumbed at the nickname, but got off anyway. I looked up to see a pouty Tommy.

"Aw, come on. Being an imp isn't so bad." I smile trying to lighten his mood. I tried brushing off the dirt.

I repeatedly spit out dirt until my mouth was dry but still had dirt in it. I groaned, I didn't particularly like the taste of dirt. Now, sand was a different story, but dirt was a straight up menace. Tommy was complaining, but I tuned it out in favor of focusing on getting the dirt out of my mouth. I turned and started walking back towards the house while explaining to Tommy, "I gotta wash my mouth now. Thanks a lot."

The child went silent, seemingly in deep thought, and started to run towards me.

I hastily turned around before my wrist was grabbed harshly. I yelped, "What!"

"C'mon, you can wash it off in the creek." He spat.

Once again, I heard the bushes that rustled earlier. This time Tubbo jumped from them to grab my other wrist to drag me to the nearby creek. I jumped at his sudden appearance. These kids were so surprisingly good at hiding. Refocusing on being pulled around, I yelled, "What is going on?! Why are two children yanking me around?"

Tubbo laughed manically, "Tommy why are you being so nice? It's unusual."

He ignored me.

"I am not nice, Tubbo! I am a big man. I can't be 'nice'." Tommy whined.

They're ignoring me.

I'm gonna scream if these imps ignore me again.

It was actually quite a nice walk- though I didn't do much of it- from the woods to the creek.

If you could ignore the screaming, that is.

"I hate you two." I said.

"You do?" Tubbo whimpered. His voice going hoarse and starting to choke up.

I panicked and sputtered out, "No no no no no! I don't hate you. You're awesome. Too awesome to hate. How could anyone hate you?"

Tubbo smiled brightly and stated, "Exactly." Without a trace of evidence that he was ever upset.

I'm gonna kill them. That's it. I'm a demon hunter now.

We all sat against the big willow tree that hanged over the creek. I had grabbed my guitar and started to play for them, eventually softly singing to them too. As I grew more and more tired from today's events my voice quieted into a soft hum. The two laying on my shoulders grew heavier and a soft snore emitted from one of them, presumably the loud one. My breathing slowed and I stopped humming. I was content laying there until the duo woke up.

They were growing on me, and I definitely hate it.
