Ah, yes, welcome to a side story :D

Phil POV

"Tommy! Time for our daily walk!" I called out. "Just a minute!" Tommy yelled back. Soon enough he came rushing down the stairs, "alright, let's go" he said cheerfully, running out the door and into the forest. "Slow down Tommy!" I yelled chasing after him. "Stop being so slow, old man!" Tommy yelled back. I sighed and ran to keep up with him, after running for a while, I got tired so I just let him run off, he knew his way around the forest anyways. I decided to walk by the nearby stream when I saw something pop up from a distance. I ran towards the thing I had seen, only to find a boy, swimming around, when he saw me, he submerged again and didn't come up, after a few seconds, I began to become worried.

I ran over to him and picked him up, sure enough, he let started coughing, almost being down there too long. "Holy cow child! You can't drown yourself when you see someone!" I said. "Better dead than caught again" he coughed out. "Where's your parents anyways?" I asked. "Dunno, don't care, they don't care about us, so we left 'em." he said dully. "Oh, poor child. Well I'm Philza, but you can call me Phil." I said, trying for a smile. The brunette looked away for a moment, then looked back, "Wilbur." "Okay, hi Wilbur, do you have a sibling?" I asked. "Do you have a child?" "Yeah, actually." "Well you should find him then, before my brother does, he'll think he's an orphan." Wilbur snickered. "Well my son is resourceful, he'll figure it out," I laughed. Wilbur looked surprised but didn't say anything. "Well why don't we have a conversation instead?" I offered, sitting down. Wilbur reluctantly agreed and sat down.

After an hour, I waited for Wilbur to finish his train of thought before ending the conversation. "Alright Wil, is it alright if I call you Wil? I asked, he nodded. "Thanks bud, I need to find my son, Tommy, now. It's been about an hour," I laughed. "Can I help you find him? I need to find my brother too." he said, standing up. I nodded and motioned him to follow. It took us a good 45 minutes to find his brother and Tommy. Surprisingly they were together, Tommy was running from Wilbur's brother. "AAAAAAAAA DAD! HELP ME!!" Tommy yelled and laughed at the same time. "COME HERE YOU ORPHAN'' he yelled, chasing him with a stick. I looked at Wilbur, "this your brother?" I asked. "Yeah, Twin actually, he's older by 5 minutes though. '' he said. "Aye David! Brother!" Techno stopped for a few seconds. "I'm not your brother Wil! And I told you to call me Techno!" "But it's stupid!" "I didn't ask if it was dumb or not!" "Ughhh, fiiiine TeChNo. What kind of a name is that?"

I just laughed at this, "hey boys, would you like to come and live with us? It gets pretty lonely with just Tommy and I." "Heyyyy, I'm not that boring!" Tommy whined. We all laughed, "Okay gents, lets get each other introduced, I'll go first." I say, sitting down. They all walk over to me and sit down in a circle. "Okay, I'm Philza, you can call me Phil though. This is my adoptive son, Tommy. I'm 32 now, my birthday has already passed." I told them. Tommy went next, "Hey, I'm big man Tommy, I'm 7, I enjoy playing tHe cRaFt, and yeah." he said proudly. Wilbur went shortly after, "Hello, I'm Wilbur, Wil for short, I'm 10, Techno's my twin, but he's older than me by 5 minutes," he says in an annoyed tone, "but that's not the point, I enjoy playing the guitar and making up small tunes. I play Minecraft as well but I don't play often." "Can you show me some of your tunes? We have a guitar at home," Tommy asks amused. Wilbur nodded and Techno went. "Uhh, I'm David, but I prefer to be called Techno, I enjoy playing Minecraft too I guess, uhh, I hate the government, that's it I guess." he ended awkwardly.

We ended up adopting them two and we eventually grew on each other, even if Techno would never openly admit it, you could tell Techno really cared for Wilbur and Tommy. He'd always constantly check up on them at night when he thought everyone was sleeping, he was protective all right.

A few years later, while I was walking to the supermarket, it started raining, it had already been cloudy for a few days so it was bound to rain, as I was walking home, I saw a box, I took a look at it and it moved. I was curious so I went to flip it over to see what was inside it, what was inside was something I really did not expect. It was a small boy, his hair and clothes were soaked and he was shivering. I read the box and it said, "please take care of my Tubbo, I can't look after him any longer and orphanages around here are horrid, whoever finds my Tubbo, please take good care of him." I looked at him in sadness. "Hey Tubbo, I'm Phil, we have an open spot at my house, would you like to come and live with me?" I said warmly. He reluctantly nodded and followed me, holding the box as a shield from the rain.

Half an hour later we finally arrived at my home. I knocked on the door a few times and Wilbur opened the door. "Hey Dad! Welcome- oh, what've you got there?" Wilbur asked cheerfully. "Hey Wil, why don't we come in first?" I suggested. "Oh right, Techno and Tommy's on the couch, Tommy was just watching me strum on the guitar" he said. I laughed at this, "classic Tommy." "Hey Phil, who's that- ohhhh Philllllllllllll, you've pulled another Dadza!" Tommy whined. "What's a dadza?" Tubbo asked quietly. Tommy ran over to Tubbo and put his hands on his shoulders. "Hi! I'm Tommy, that tall guy with the beanie is Wilbur, the guy that just pulled a dadza on you, is Philza, you can call him Phil though. A dadza is something Phil pulls, he just takes someone in when he feels like it, and for some reason, he hasn't been arrested yet!" Tommy rambled. "That's because it's not kidnapping!" I laughed. "Anyways, Wil, can you get Techno over here?" "Sure dad," Wilbur said and headed over to Techno, Techno and Wilbur came back shortly after. "Hi..." Techno said awkwardly. "So yeah, that's Techno, he's all I'm eMo AnD aNaRcHy and sht." Tommy teased. "Whatever Tommy," Techno said, rolling his eyes. "Oh, how old are you by the way?" Tommy asked. "I'm 11..." he says sheepishly. "Hey! I'm 11 too!" Tommy shouted. "What month?" "Uhhh, October 23rd" he answered. "Ayeee! I'm older!" Tommy laughed.

"Hey Phil, what time is it?" Wilbur asked. "It's... 3:32 PM right now," I said, pulling out my phone. "Okay, cool, can we have a movie marathon? Techno and I did good on our english and math test," Wilbur said. "Yeah, of course dude," I told him, "but we need to get Tubbo settled into the guest room for now." "Uh- if it's okay, is it alright if I sleep with someone, I don't like sleeping alone..." Tubbo asked sheepishly. "You can sleep with Tommy then." Wilbur pipped in. "Awwww, but-" Tommy began. "No buts, Tubbo you can sleep with Tommy." I said. Tommy groaned and went up to his room, motioning for Tubbo to follow.

Techno, Wilbur, and I set up the living room for the movie marathon, soon Tubbo and Tommy came down. Soon we got all settled in and started the marathon. At 2:30 am, everyone besides me and Techno were asleep, Techno volunteered to bring Wilbur up to his room while I cleaned up. After I finished, I was about to carry Tommy and Tubbo to Tommy's room but they weren't there. I walked up to Tommy's room to find Tommy yawning and tucking Tubbo into his own bed, he laid on his own shortly after, falling asleep. I smiled at this and went to bed.

I woke up a bit late the next morning but considering how fast the kids could take, it was fine. I went over to Wilbur's room, he was already awake, he was strumming his guitar and humming, "hey bud, when did you wake up?" I asked. "Not too long ago, I realized you hadn't woken me at the time you usually would, so I woke up myself," he said lazily. "Oh cool, is... Tommy and Tubbo awake?" I asked. "Tubbo's awake, yeah, saw him staring at Tommy or something." he said. I laughed, "alright, thanks Wil." "No problem dad."

I went into Tubbo's and Tommy's room, and sure enough I saw Tubbo investigating Tommy. "What... ya doing there... Tubbo?" I asked. "Just wanted to get a good look at Tommy. Can I wake him up yet? I've been looking at him for half an hour now and he still hasn't gotten up." he said distractedly. "Ohhhkayyy Tubbo, uhh, you can wake him up." I told him. Tubbo stood up and shook Tommy. "Wake upppp" he whined. Tommy slowly woke up and groggily sat up. "Wha.. AHHHH WHAT THE SHT" Tommy yelled, forgetting that they had a guest over. "YOU SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME TUBBO!!!" Tommy yelled. Tubbo just smiled and got up. "Well I'll leave you boys to it, I'll be making breakfast." I said, walking out of their room.

I finished making a quick breakfast not too long after, Techno and Wilbur were already waiting for the food so they dug in pretty quickly, I soon joined them, not wanting to wait for Tommy and Tubbo. Soon enough, Tommy and Tubbo came down, Tubbo following quietly, very intrigued by Tommy while Tommy was rambling on about something. You can never tell what.

"Alright boys, you better hurry up, you've got school soon. Tommy, you go back to school in a few days, enjoy your time now, you're still grounded." I added. Tommy just whined at this and went to go eat his food. "Do you go to any schools, Tubbo?" I asked. "No, I don't." he answered. "Alright, then we'll enroll you to Tommy's school in the upcoming school year, so you'll be staying home for a few months, that alright?" "Yeah, that's fine." Tubbo said, eating his food slowly. We chatted for the rest of the time, soon enough Techno and Wilbur went to school, over the course of the next few days Tommy and Tubbo got a lot closer, real close, they were already like brothers, I soon got some adoption papers for Tubbo and officially adopted Tubbo. It was amazing.
