Wilbur POV

Ranboo had finally calmed down after I played him a song I heard a knock at my door and got up off the ground and answered it.

"Hey boys, are you coming to town with us?."

"Ranboo you wanna go?" I turned and looked to him.

"Yeah- I will go!" he smiled he seemed excited.

"alright we will be clothing shopping and then going to get food" Phil smiled and closed my door I walked back over to Ranboo.

"You don't have to go Ranboo."

"I know but I hate being alone."

"Well you can stay with me when we go shopping everyone kinda disperse" he nodded to me and smiled while I placed a beanie on my head.

"Yeah I'll do that thanks, Wilbur'' I opened the door and we walked down the steps, everyone was ready to go

"ok tommy tubbo and techno are in the car" He said we walked outside the house it was windy out and dark clouds are forming we went in the car Techno was in the passenger seat Tommy and Tubbo in the middle and me and Ranboo got in the back Dad came outside soon he locked the door and got in the driver's seat and the drive began I looked over to Ranboo who was writing in a book that said "Do not read" on the front of it everything was in black pencil he wrote down a few things before looking up at me.

Ranboo POV

I wrote down a few things how Wilbur had calmed me down and we were in the car and such on normal things Wilbur watched me write it down I got nervous and then there was yelling as a song came on.

"NOW THAT ENTERStAtE is PAveD wiTH mEmoRies'' Tommy had yelled in a weird voice Wilbur rolled his eyes as Tubbo joined in with Tommy Philza was laughing I giggled a bit at Wilbur getting annoyed it was funny we soon arrived in town and we all got out we shopped for food and clothing nothing much happened other than Tubbo the kid stayed with me, it was then just me and him shopping for my clothing.

"so your Ranboo right?" I nodded.

"And your Tubbo?"

"Yep that me I staying with you all for the week my mom is on a trip with her friend" He said smiling it was an innocent smile he seemed so happy for some reason.

"You around often?" I asked him as I grabbed a cheap Hawaiian shirt.

"Yep all the time" he said joy filled again.

{ Time skip to the house }

Wilbur POV

We returned to the house it started to snow outside hard as we pulled up and some thunder boomed as well

"I thought you said it was going to be here in 3 days" Techno said looking up from his book and at dad

"I thought that as well I guess the weatherman was wrong" dad added to to it, It was also sunset we were out all day

"Ranboo do you need a hood?" I looked at him and he turned to me. I could see the fear in his eyes. I knew he was scared of water I just didn't know how much he nodded at me I took off my jacket he had a black hoodie on he put of his hood he could wrap my jacket around his hands and that's what he did

"Ready boys?" dad asked looking back at us everyone nodded tommy opened the door and tubbo did too me and Ranboo ran out. Ranboo went inside as soon as he was out we went to the back and grasped groceries and unloaded them with the 5 of us it didn't take long only 2 trips.

Tubbo POV

We all walked inside, Wilbur and Techno were putting up the food we got into the fridge. I hated thunderstorms, I had a strong fear of them since I was trapped outside during one when I was a kid. I've always hated loud noises. I was normally with my mother during storms this was the first time I would be at the SBI house during a storm. I started shaking and went upstairs into the bathroom. My breath picked up and I started crying as thunder boomed outside. I put my hands over my ears and tried to stay calm but with each boom I panicked more.

Ranboo POV

It was dark outside while everyone was putting up groceries I noticed Tubbo went upstairs I would have helped but all the bags were wet I went upstairs after tubbo he seemed nice I just wanted to see what he was up too he went into the bathroom maybe that's all he needed, the bathroom was beside my room I went into my room writing down in my memory book about everything that happened today I heard quite sobs through the wall it was Tubbo I'm sure of it I got up sitting my memory book down walking to my door.
