Tommy POV

I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling, It's been 3 days since they found out I was an avian. I'm wearing some of Wilbur's oversized pajamas because I don't have any. I sigh, currently, I'm thinking about my old home. Don't get me wrong, I love Phil's house and I love being here with everyone, but... I miss my old small shack. I sit up and look out the window, the full moon's light shining through it slightly illuminating my pretty much empty room. my favorite shirt and my jeans folded on my dresser.

I roll off my bed and start to stretch, my wings doing the same. I'm so used to them being pinned behind me, it's a weird sensation. But not a bad one. I quietly walk over to my dresser with the two clothing items on them. Quickly I get changed, leaving the pajamas on the floor.

I sneak over to the window and look out, but decide against jumping out of it, as I'm still not used to using my wings to their full ability and I'd probably go splat. I creep over to my door, opening it gently.

I peek out to see a light coming from Wilburs room. I lightly tiptoe over there and take a glace in there. To my surprise Wilburs standing in front of the fish tank. I cover my mouth in shock as I see a woman inside the water. She has orangy-red hair and is wearing greenish-brown clothes in the form of a dress. My eyes widen even more at the fact that she doesn't even have legs. It's just a long flowing red fishtail.

I watch both of them laughing and talking to each other, completely confused. Maybe I can go visit my old home another time. I'm about to say something but I stop. I've never seen Wil so happy. At least in the 4 days, I've been here. He's usually so serious and tired, it's almost calming to see him so relaxed.

I hear a beeping noise and I look at Wilburs alarm clock, it read 5 AM. I gasp not knowing it was that late. Suddenly Wilbur stops and stares at the door, and the weird fish lady goes through some sort of hatch in the bottom of the tank.

"Shitshitshitshitshit..!" I whisper to myself as I run back to my room, shutting the door behind me. I take a breath but then I hear Wilbur's door open. I change back into my pajamas as I hear him open Techno's door, then Phil's.

Just as I jump into my bed he opens my door. I pretend to sleep as I feel him stare at me, clearly suspicious.

"Tommy..?"I hear him say softly. I drowsily opened my eyes pretending as I'd just woken up.

"What do you want bitch..?" I say in the sleepiest tone I could. I didn't get an answer because he shut the door. I close my eyes again and soon enough I drift off to sleep.

I wake up in the morning to Phil opening my curtains.

"Phillll.. what the fuck..?" I whine drowsily.

"Mate it's 12 pm. You need to get up." He replies walking over to my bed.

I blink and rub my eyes trying to get the sun to go away before sitting up and stretching. My wings strech with me and for the first time in awhile, I'm not filled with hate everytime I see them. I smile and get out of bed. "Phil I don't have an clothes." I say looking at Wilburs pjamas and seeing my dirty clothes on the floor. And suddenly I remember what happened last night. "HOLY SHIT-" I yell loudly.

Phil jumps a bit and says, "What's wrong are you okay!?" And quickly steps toward me putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Nonono! I'm fine and great! Completely perfect!" I reply forcing a smile before changing the subject to breakfast.

I listen to Phil chat about what the day could hold as I start to zone out thinking about what the fuck I witnessed. There was a woman- No no, a MERMAID in Wil's FISHTANK. When I first saw the fishtank I thought maybe he rescues fish, or something.

I never expected to him to have a PERSON in there. And yet, Wilbur looked so happy. I can't stop thinking about his face. He looked like he was on Cloud 9.

"Hey..? T-Tommy?"

I blink and zone back in to Phil looking concerned and waving his hand in front of my face.

"Phil does Wilbur have a girlfriend?" I ask staring at him.

To my suprise Phil starts to chuckle before responding, "Tommy the last time Wilbur dated someone was when he was in 6th grade."

"A-Are you sure..?" I ask, now I'm really confused.

"Yes I'm sure, why do you ask?" Phil questions.

"It's nothing, I just can't believe hes such a loser." I lie forcing a laugh. Phil laughs with me and walks out of the room. I quickly follow him. But as I walk out of my room, I run over to Wilburs room and peek inside. Like I thought, theres nobody there. It's completely empty.

"TOMMY ARE YOU COMING MATE?!" I hear Phil shout from downstairs. I shout a yes back and run to go eat breakfast.

WILBUR FLASHBACK

I say goodnight to Phil, walking into my room, closing the door. I walk over to my bed and sit on it, looking at the fishtank. I wait for about 10 minutes before I see a hand coming though the hatch in the bottom.

"Sally you can come up, don't worry." I say happily.

"Phew.." She says quickly swimming up threw the   tank hatch.

I honestly dont know how I convinced Phil to install a pipe system big enough for a person to swim though. All I did was tell him I wanted it and then a week later there it was. I didn't question it.

I stare at Sally's beautiful face grinning.

"Wil your face is priceless right now!" She giggles grinning as well.

"I could say the same to you darling." I reply.

Me and Sally have been dating secretly for about a year and a half. And still have no suspicion from anyone.

"Oh! Also, theres someone new here." I gasp. Sally hasnt visited in 5 days, 9 hours and 16 minutes. But whos counting?

"Someone new?" She questions swimming around in her tank.

"His name is Tommy, we thought he was a human at first but to our suprise he was an avian like us."

"Oooh! Is he nice? How old? Whats his favorite color!?" Sally excitedly asks me questions, and I happily answer. We chat for awhile, and I realize this is the happiest I've been in so long. I just really wish that I could introduce Sally to Phil and them. I just don't know how they will react. And I couldn't bear to not see her. But she doesn't really mind. According to her 'As long as we have eachother that's enough.' And I agree.

"And then I sai-" I stop midway through my sentence as my alarm starts to beep loudly. And suddenly I hear a gasp from the door way. Sally swims through the hatch in the floor and I jump up.

"Fuck." I say, realizing we've been caught. But the only question that remains is, by who?
