{3rd person} (Still)

The boy shifted awkwardly, having 3 pairs of eyes on him now. "I um. I read about. Wars." He said slowly, unsure with his words.

The chimera zoned out as soon as a word was said back to him. It happened often, regaining small memories as he grew.
This time, it was the memories of Mrs. Liones.

"There you go Tommy! Just keep going. Only a few more words, before we get caught." A woman said softly to Tommy.
She hadn't been allowed to teach experiments how to read or write, it was pointless.
Experiments weren't expected to live very long through their process.
Tommy stumbled across his words, "He was then..."
"Go on. You can do it." She said softly, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Ugh.! No I can't!" he complained. "I'm not. Normal. Why can't I, be like normal. Kids." He said, stumbling more than usual, due to his frustrated state.
She gave him a hug, "You'll get the hang of it, don't worry."
A small sniffle emitted from the boy. "H-how come.. i'm like.. this..?"
She gave a gentle squeeze to the chimera, "It's not your fault..."
"It's not your fault..."

The boy was snapped back to reality by a rapid knock at the door.
The worried eyes tore from the chimera to the front door.
The repetitious knocking continued, until Philza went over to open the door.

A two-toned boy stood at the entrance, clinging to a book.
"Ranboo?" Tubbo asked, looking past Phil to see who was there.

"I'm sorry for barging, but I needed to tell Tubbo this before I forgot.." Ranboo said quickly, holding out the book to Tubbo.
"I found the place they sent him to."

Just with that sentence, everything in Tubbos world stopped.
I'm going to find my brother..
He quickly grabbed the book from his brother, "Where.?"

Ranboo stumbled over his words in excitement, "I-it said Eggpire Laboratory."

The chimera just watched as the excitement was shown between the four males. That is, until the tall enderian male noticed his presence.

He stared at him for a moment before the chimera had another memory play in his mind.

"We know you were close with her. But she was caught in a tragic accident.." the man said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Tommy could tell a lie from the truth..
"We're sorry for your loss.."

Thats when Tommy decided he was going to keep trying to read and write.
The first thing he would write was his name.

He smiled down at the sloppy letters that spelled the word "Tome"
He didn't know that there was 2 M's nor did he know that a Y could make and E sound.
He was proud of himself though.

He once again snapped back to reality, but only to feel the hairs on end, the enderian was still staring at him.
Tubbo looked at Ranboos gaze and followed it to the chimera.
"Oh thats someone new to l'manburg. He got here today I guess." Tubbo said, looking back to Ranboo.

You would think that Tommy would remember their names being those of his brothers, but experiments do things to you. Good or Bad.
Tommy only remembered those of their nicknames.
When he was younger, he called them the nicknames of Bee and Boo.

The three triplets sat along the base of the tree, giggling softly to their dogs running around the back yard.
Tubbo, standing up and facing his brothers said with his pointer finger in the air, "I'm going to be the most amazing person in the whole world!"
He then pointed at his brothers, "Just you watch me!"

Tommy's memory flashed to that of him being pulled away in a wagon, watching as his parents faded away, pulling his brothers along with them.
He would likely never see them again...
And he knew that.

He snapped back, though he had never had this many flashbacks in a day. When he looked up he saw that the enderian had gotten closer to him.

Thats when he realized.
He recognized these two boys.
"Boo?"

a/n Mmmmm . Ready? :)
