Chapter 7

   Tubbo would grab his key, staring at it but soon snapping out of his trance and inserting the key into the keyhole. Unlocking the door quickly as to not keep Ranboo waiting, where the two found Michael playing with sone toys on the living room. Soon, the Piglin's ears would perk up, turning around to see both of his parents. He smiled and quickly stood up, running to them and pulling both into a hug.

   Ranboo would be startled by this sudden movement. Both him and Tubbo tensing up from how close they were, after all, the memories from previous events were still as vivid as ever. Tubbo started to shake softly, not only from the tension in the air, but from the trauma he's experienced. He wasn't really good with this much contact with a person. That only changed when Ranboo arrived and when Tommy was no longer exiled, he trusted those two the most. He tried to push away, just like the problem's and guilt he tried pushing away, from the hug. He really didn't think he deserved this, especially after what happened these past few days. Ranboo then wrapped his arms around Tubbo, resting his head on the Goat Hybrid's fluffy hair.

   "R-ranboo? What're you doing—" He was cut off by the Half Ender "Techno said I was a pretty forgiving person didn't he? That's why you took this chance?" He asked him as Tubbo only nodded in reply "Well, I can't forgive you completely. But we all can move back to how we were, least we can do to get rid of our past mistakes" He stated, Tubbo hugged back "You've been staying around Phil too much, do it even more and you'll become old like him"

   Ranboo chuckled "Yeah yeah, of course, whatever you say" He smiled genuinely. Hearing the noises from Michael soon behind as he looked down "Yeah bud? You want up? Sure" He then bent down, picking the Piglin child up, bringing him into the hug. Michael then made happy Piglin noises soon after the Ender Hybrid pat both Tubbo and him.

   Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. All three hybrids stared at each other as Ranboo put Michael down and pulled away from the hug "I'll go check who it is—" The door burst open, since it was seemingly unlocked at the time, and a familiar 17-year old blonde appeared at the doorframe. He had two streaks in his hair that went down to his bangs, signifying two revival incidents.

   Ranboo and Tubbo both stared in shock as Michael ran up to Tommy, giggling like the child he was as he was picked up by the 17-year old "Hey small man, ya good?" He asked with a small smile, glancing at Tubbo and Ranboo "Eh-? What's with the faces? I'd be back eventually, after all.."

   "It's never my time to die...not permanently at least"
