I guess the pink man-5up- wasn't gonna show. It was me and myself all alone. Hey, those are good lyrics.

I wondered if I was still a singer. I mean, J wasn't very good but I liked it. So why did the pink man show up originally.

He seemed nice and all but

Bark

A familiar sound through my door. Immediately I had thrown open the door and saw the small dog running towards me. Another one on its heels.

I dropped to the ground and hugged my dog close. I held back the tears I was feeling. The other dog yipped at me.

A man stood there, more like a boy. He looked kinda like 5up though. A smile was on his face.

"Hi Steve! I'm Tubbo, the other dog is Jubbs. He belonged to Hafu, the leader of your crew," Tubbo explained. "I've been watching him but the dogs get along so-"

"I'd happily watch him," I said quickly. The dog ran over to me and I pet him before looking up at the short boy.

"Thanks. If you need anything I'm here," he said and walked away. I watched him and carried little foot into my room with Jubbs following.

I sat down on the bed and heard a girl giggle. I turned around and so did the dogs. They saw her to?

She wore a yellow space suit with the same symbol as 5up. She moved over to me and rubbed Jubbs back. Or tried to. Her hand went through him and she frowned. Her dark hair fell straight down her back as she sat down next to me.

"I'm glad your ok Steve. I was worried when you didn't get up," she said. I frowned and looked at her. "I'm Hafu," she explained, a worried expression across her face.

"No. Hafu is dead. At least I've been told?" I asked her. She laughed softly and I saw a motherly side in her. She placed her hand on my shoulder and it stayed there.

"Steve, look at me. Take care of Jubbs and Tubbo for me," she said. I looked at her and she moved her hand away.

"What?" I asked, if she was here why couldn't she? And why did she seem unsure about being there.

"I mean Tubbo is my brother, like 5up! But I can't do it as well, I go through things," she explained, it dawned on me as to why she did it

"You're a ghost..." I mumbled. And unsure look crossed her face, it looked weird there, as if she was normally sure and confident

"I think so. Just stay safe for me ok?" She asked. I nodded slowly and she gave me a relieved smile.

"Wait Hafu-" I started to say as the door opened. I looked over and saw Tubbo again. He looked at me with confusion.

"Are you talking to someone?" He asked, I quickly shook my head. If they were ghosts or my imagination then nobody other than me and the dogs knew they were there

"Just the dogs. What do you need?"

"I was told to bring you food," he said with a small smile. He handed me the plate and set down a bowl of dog food.

Jubbs and Little Foot sprinted over and started to eat. I gave the boy a weak smile and he left. I looked back to where Hafu was sitting but she was gone.

Why did they always leave? I had so many questions, all of which were unanswered.

I had no clue what to do with myself. I wondered if there were other animals on the ship.

All of a sudden I hear an annoyed shout, sounded like the fox guy. What was his name-Fundy.

"Sugi!!!" He cried. I opened my door in time to see a dog barrel through my legs and pounce on Little Foot.

Fundy stopped, panting and out of breath. A guilty smile crossed his face and he met my eyes.

"Sorry. He's not technically my dog. He was my boyfriends. But of course he was on your ship. 5up," he said. The pink man.

"Yeah. What is he-?"

"Trying to play. Sorry about that Steve. Sugi come," he ordered. The female dog emitted a low growl to Fundy and kept playing with the other two.

"Hang on. Let me try. Little Foot, Jubbs, Sugi, come here," I said in a playful tone. They all snapped their heads towards me and sprinted over.

Sugi jumped at me as I picked her up. Fundy tried to grab her form me and she growled at him again. He moved back.

"I don't know what to do..." he muttered. Obviously Sugi wasn't gonna go to him. I came up with an idea.

"I can watch her. I mean, she obviously gets along with Little Foot and Jubbs so..." I said softly. Fundys ears perked up and he looked over to me.

"Really? Are you sure?" He asked. He obviously liked the idea but didn't want to overwhelm me. I nodded

"Yeah. Dogs actually keep me calmer. Especially right now..." I mumbled the last part. I figured he heard me but I did it anyway.

"Then sure. She obviously likes you more than me," he said. He turned and left and I set the dog back down. I closed my door so they couldn't get out and flipped onto my bed.

I was so tired, I wanted to sleep. I felt three bounces on my bed and saw all three dogs had joined me.

Little Foot curled right into my arms, clearly happy to be back with me. I hugged him close, I wasn't letting go.

I felt Jubbs lay his head on me and Sugi curled up by my feet. I don't know if they liked me or if they were only in here for my dog, but either way I felt better.

I took a quick glance around my room to see if 5up or Hafu would show but they didn't. I closed my eyes and just let myself crash

I'm sorry but Steve is a dog person and I thought this would fit him. Fluff before tears!!
