Tubbo entered the dining tent, his mouth agape at all the people.

There was a long row of picnic tables, holding 3 people on each side. And god, the people! They were all so different and interesting. One had scruffy orange hair, and another had long pink hair that was braided in with some flowers.

"Hey, everyone!" Dream announced, his voice making everyone look up.

"We have a new member! His name's Tubbo. Make him feel welcome, okay? And you are he/him, right?" Dream quickly added, softer.

Tubbo nodded "Yeah, I use he/him." He waved a bit at the people, who smiled and continued eating and talking.

"Here, sit by me and Ranboo." Dream guided the boy to a part of the table, and everyone shifted over to let them have room.

"Hey," A boy said, sitting in front of them.

"This is Ranboo, my brother." Dream said, and Tubbo nodded.

"He doesn't have any talents either, so you can stick with him until you find yours." Dream added teasingly.

Ranboo glared at him. "Like you have one, Mr. Announcer Guy."

"Hey, I feed you."

"I plan all the meals."

Dream slowly chewed his food and swallowed. "No response." 

Ranboo laughed as Tubbo giggled, and Dream smiled.

"You'll find out what you're good at soon, and quick as a flash you'll be a part of the show." Ranboo said, sounding genuine.

"I hope so." Tubbo said as he stabbed some mashed potato. 

"We could start experimenting tomorrow morning.." Dream mused, and Tubbo perked up.

"Really?" He asked, excited.

"Sure." Dream shrugged. "I'm free, I think."

"You're free." Ranboo reassured.

"Well then! Tomorrow morning." Dream winked "We'll see what shit you're good at."

Tubbo had slept, surprisingly, well. He woke up to a boy shaking his shoulder softly.

"Hey. Tubbo." Ranboo said, shaking his shoulder.

"Huh?" Tubbo mumbled, but then sat up quickly. "Wait, what time is it?" He asked nervously.

"It's fine! Dream just asked me to wake you up. You're not late." Ranboo said reassuringly. 

"Oh, thank you." Tubbo rubbed his eyes.

"No problem. Also, I got you some clothes." Ranboo walked out of the small car/wagon (depending on where you live).

The train wasn't moving, but Tubbo definitely felt like a boy on the run. He quickly put on the clothes, black leggings and a baggy green shirt and other normal stuff, and opened the door. He was slightly surprised when he didn't see ground when he looked down, and instead a bit of floor, but then again he was in a fancy train.
