"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, CHARLIE!?" Jack shrieked, and Tommy could see curls of smoke and hear sizzles. Charlie sounded like he was cry-laughing, and Tubbo giggled to Tommy. It was no secret that water damaged a Blaze class.

"Is he- is he okay?" Tommy asked, giving Tubbo a concerned glance. Tubbo only dissolved further into a laughing fit at this, trying and failing to form words for a few moments.

"Okay- okay- okayokayokay-," He recovered, taking a moment to get his breathing correct, amusement in his eyes. "Yeah, he's fine, he- he's a blaze origin, right? So- So water hurts him. Charlie Slimecicle likes to run by him and throw water onto him, to poke at him." 

"Oh." Tommy stared with a blank expression at Tubbo for a moment, before he snapped back into reality(?) and held a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Hey, wanna fuck around with him?"

"You know how?" Tubbo asked, raising an eyebrow. He wasn't exactly trying to shut Tommy's idea down, only skeptical and wanting to know more.

"You know how the previous me tried to commit die? Or- well, he did commit self delete?" Tommy saw Tubbo perk up, slightly confused. The subject wasn't a joking matter, but... Tommy was technically Tomathy, so he could still make fun out of it, right?

"Jack- J-Jack I'm so sorry," Tommy sobbed, his face wet with what Jack assumed were tears. Luckily for Tommy, he knew water's effects. After all, he had been in exile. "Jack I- M-my- my wings."

"Tom- what? Tommy, are you okay?" Jack asked, whipping around from his previous wood-gathering task. Worry lit like a fire in his eyes when he saw Tommy, noticing the lack of wings, and the broken expression. "Tommy, what the fuck? Are you okay?"

"Jack I-I- I JUST PRANKED YOU, BITCH!" Tommy shrieked with laughter when Tubbo floated from above, wings sprouting from his back and fluttering delicately. Jack's expression was startled, before water was poured over his head. A violent hissing sound rose, and the same curls of smoke rose into the sky. 

Almost reminded the teen of... of... explosions and... and... destruction and... Wilby...

"What the fuck is goin' on he- oh. Hi, me!" Tomathy appeared through the bushes, headwings flapping sideways. Confusion was portrayed through them for a moment, before it turned into amusement. "Pranking Jack, eh?" 

"What the f- THERE ARE TWO OF YOU!?" Jack yelled, having built a small cage for himself to fill with lava. "OH MY GOD, TOMMY, YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO DIE AGAIN!"

"Sorry, mate." Tommy mocked Jack's accent, walking with Tubbo and the mirrored him. "Guess you just need to get more water-proof spray. Not my problem." 

"What the fuck, man? I'll get you back for this!" Jack shouted after him, sizzling like some kind of meat on a stove. Or noodles after awhile. Wait, this isn't my other book, I can't foreshadow things yet! Wait, that book isn't even out yet! Oh, boy...

"Uh-huh, you can try, bitch boy!" Tomathy shouted behind them, slightly faster than Tommy. His wings were angled forwards, letting air pass smoothly. Occasionally they flapped, giving him a boost of energy. Tommy was only slightly behind, due to his natural speed, while Tubbo was slowly buzzing along behind them.

"Wait, is that..." Tommy squinted when they stopped, eyeing a water tank. Someone was inside of it, and he could see it just past a fighting Phil and Fundy. It was amusing to see the fox hybrid shovel random objects into his mouth, only for them to disappear into his inventory, just out of reach of Phil. Well, until the man held his hand out, swept a bird-like claw over it, and revealed the stolen item below.

The person he was looking at was chatting with Wilbur, a fish-like fin and tail sticking out from the feminine body.

"Who? The fox, or the merling?" Tomathy asked, earning a confused glance from the mirror, not having knowledge on whatever the fuck a 'merling' was. "Right- the mermaid origin?"

"Mer- Merling." Tommy answered, not fully understanding the odd term. He'll get used to it. He has to, if he's bound to stay here. "Is that N..." He trailed off, unsure of himself.

"Nihachu? Yeah, that's her." Tomathy grinned at Tommy, who lit up. Niki was here? In a world where her character is totally cool? AWESOME! "Wanna go see her?"

"HELL FUCKING YES, BIG MAN TOMATHYINNIT!" Tommy cheered, Tubbo just having caught up. ("Oh, fuck," The bumblebee origin had groaned. Come on, it wasn't so far! Just... They were fast.) 

Racing over to meet Niki and Wilbur, Tommy couldn't help but giggle when the Mermi- Merla- Merl.....LING! Tommy couldn't help but giggle when the merling's eyes widened in surprise. I mean, you see two of the same person, what do you think? Not even twins- the same version, except one has wings.

"Oh, hey Tommy! And... Tommy." Wilbur frowned jokingly at the Avian class, earning a playful hiss in response. Niki's eyes wandered over to Wilbur, asking an unspoken question that everyone wants to ask.

"Niki Nihachu, pleasure to meet the non grief-filled you." Tommy bowed, grinning. "The one in L'Manberg didn't know Wil had died at one point, and when she saw Ghostbur, it was hard to calm her down. Fundy was the same, almost. Oh, and she burnt down the last piece of true L'Manberg at some point, probably when Techno unleashed withers and stuff. Phil might've been there and wow, was it a bad sight. Painful, too. Oh, and then Niki got involved with G- wait, how do I... Who the fuck is DreamXD? Is he like, some a- oh, sorry, I'm rambling."

"L...Manberg?" Niki asked. Wilbur winced, probably at the idea of 'Ghostbur'.

"Please, don't put a space between the L and the M. Manberg is a different country. It's gone now, but it doesnt bring good memories." Tommy dipped his head slightly. Tomathy was looking at him weirdly, taking in the information and trying to piece it together. Right, this world is happy-go-lucky.

"Ah, okay." Niki nodded, "L'Manberg. I take it you're the person that Wil told me about, the double from a different... Whatd you call it, again?"

"A different timeline. It's like... a different dimension. Different world, different version of you." Wilbur explained. He turned an oddly sad yet terrified expression to Tommy.

"T..Tommy," Wilbur asked, worry in his voice.

"You mentioned Ghostbur..?"
