"Is the other Techno really that bad?" Techno almost felt offended. "That's... interesting."

"He's really against government, too," Tommy hummed, and Techno's eyes lit up.

"When I first 'joined' this life, it looked like I was summoned by Tubbo saying something about starting a government." Techno smiled slightly, and Tommy felt a bit of horror well up inside of him. But he didn't let it show, instead returning the smile.

"Tubbo's here?" Tommy felt joy uncoil inside of him. Maybe he was safe- and then, he remembered this isn't his world, or 'timeline', as Phil said. He wanted to learn more about timelines. "How's he like?"

"An idiot, but a fun one." Wilbur crept through the wall, startling Tommy. If Ghostbur could do anything like that, he'd have lost his last life to a heart attack. "He's a bee origin, by the way, so be careful around him."

"Origin?" Tommy questioned. "The bee makes sense, he was always in love with bees in my, uh, world?"

"Origin is our abilities." Wilbur explained, "Like, see how the other version of you has wings? He's an Avian origin. Phil's an Elytrian, that's why he has elytra. Tubbo's a bumblebee origin, so he can fly and poison people. Oh, and he has a death switch. Works wonders."

The fuck is a death switch, Tommy wondered, but didn't say aloud.

"So what's Blade boy's origin?" Tommy asked, turning to Techno, who shied away.

"Oh, me?" Techno said, more to himself than to Tommy. "I'm a work in progress."

"He's powerless. He claims that'll change in the future, so we'll see." Wilbur shrugged, his expression changing in an instant. "Phil! Can I show Tommy around to meet everyone?"

"Only if he's okay with it. And be gentle, he's badly hurt." Phil nodded, and Tommy was helped to his feet by Wilbur. It was weird, holding on to a transparent space. The greens of the world were vibrant, much brighter than the charred, dulled yellow grass in the Dream SMP. 

"I'll take you to Tubbo and his husband." Wilbur said with a smile. "Platonic husband."

"Tubbo has a husband?" Tommy couldn't help but speak aloud with a surprised tone. "This universe isn't too far from mi- waaaaaaaaaiiiiit, who is his husband?"

"An Ender Origin named Ranboo. Cool guy, also really tall, playing into the part of his origin." Wilbur shrugged casually. Tommy huffed; Even Ranboo's here.

"Great, it's flower boy and bee boy." Tommy said when he saw them in a treehouse. They seemed to be working on something, and he was about to follow Wilbur over when a fox-hybrid smacked the ground and died, inches away from an inch-tall person. "What the fuck-,"

"Oh, hey Tommy." The inch-tall boy said. "Where's your-," His expression dropped. "WHERE ARE YOUR WINGS?"

"Chill, Sneeg, this isn't the other Tommy. It's... complicated." Wilbur explained, side-glancing Tommy. Sneeg still looked skeptical, watching them go, before Fundy, on all fours, pounced on him, cupping his claws around him. This resulted in the Inchling forcing his way out, jumping onto Fundy's face, and using strength a man that tall cant harness.

"This is a weird fuckin' universe." Tommy noted aloud. Wilbur chuckled, leading Tommy to a treehouse.

"Tubbo! It's the Dream SMP Tommy!" How did he know that? Phil must've told him, Tommy thought, watching as a boy lept down from the top of the treehouse, clear blue wings flapping hard to soften his fall. He had antennae sprouting from the top of his head, raising up in curiosity. His eyes where black with blue irises, similar to a bee, but more human.

"Tom-! Tommy?" Tubbo froze, probably noticing he had no wings. "Why don't you- you're not going to do it again, right..?"

"I'm not the bird bitch," Tommy rolled his eyes. "I woke up in another weird ass world, I'm from the Dream SMP, as Wilbur said."

"Oh. Oh!" Tubbo brightened immediately, "Sorry, I didnt realize."

"It's alright, I imagine it happening alot in this server, so the quicker I'm used to it, the better." Tommy smiled, "So, you have a husband?"

"He does."

The black-and-white bitch, except not black and white, mostly black, teleported beside Tubbo. It was funny to see their heights, Tubbo was alot shorter than Ranboo. Fuckin' tree.

"Ah. Ranboo." Tommy said with a sarcastically annoyed tone, before realizing this wasnt the Ranboo he normally joked with. "That's a joke, I dont actually hate you. Okay, wait, maybe a little bit."

"I expect you're similar to the other Tommy, so dont worry." Ranboo flashed a smile to the boy, revealing sharp enderman teeth and a purple inner mouth.

"Two Tommys?" Tubbo had confusion painted all over his face. "Oh, no, you're going to start conspiring or something with him, arent you?"

"Good idea, we're the same person, and as you all know; Great minds think alike!" Tommy laughed. "If it helps you feel better, I've already gone through my exile stage. I'll keep an eye on the other bitch and make sure he doesnt go through it again."

Upon seeing Tubbo and Ranboo's confused expressions, Tommy decided to elaborate a bit.

"Depression."

"Oh," Tubbo and Ranboo echoed at the same time. "Did you lose a life to that?"

"No, there was water below where I fell." Tommy shook his head with a smile.

"Good, good. We do not want to hunt down a ghost that was actually kidnapped again." Ranboo huffed.

"A kidnapped ghost? What the hell is this server?" Tommy asked to himself.

"Crazy, chaotic now that we have two of you." Tubbo chuckled, "Come on! I can show you around. I'll take him off your hands, Wilbur!"

Before Wilbur or Tommy could protest, Tubbo dragged Tommy away, chattering about what they could do, who to stay away from, personality, those things.

As much as Tommy hated the thought of being in a different world filled with everyone who's hurt him in his own, he could get used to this.

But there are still secrets to be told.
