POV: Puffy
My alarm goes off and I slump out of bed, groaning when Dream walks in,
"Hiya Puff, you ready to leave?" He hands me a packed lunch and water bottle.
"Dude, I literally just woke up. Aren't you a little sad I'm leaving?" I stand up and grumpily take the lunch.
"Nnnyyyyyyeeeeeesssssss?" He makes an odd face and I punch him in the arm,
"What was that for?"
"You being an ass. Promise me you'll take care of Tub until I get back? Or at least send him off to-"
"To Tommy's or Ranboo's. I know. Don't worry, I'll make sure he's alright" He smiles
"Because you know dad and pop are on a trip for the whole month...so..."

"I'm not a child Puff, I'm 15. I don't need dick-man-Dream to take care of me" I turn to Tubbo, leaning on the doorway with his arms crossed. Dream picks up a pillow and throws it at him, he stumbles over a little but holds his puffed-up-ness.
"I know you're not a child I'm just so worried..."
"I'll be fine. We'll be fine." They both smile and I shoo them away to get dressed.

When I'm fully ready, I grab my bags and walk downstairs

Minx
Minx: You ready babe?
Puffy: Yeah, gimme a sec

I look at my brothers. It's like I'm leaving forever, not just 8 days.
"Puffy are you...crying?" Tubbo walks up to me
"I *sniff* am not" I wipe a stray tear from my cheek
"Puffy it's only 8 fucking days" Dream says as Tubbo pulls the sleeve of his shirt so we're all in a big hug.
"I don't care I've never left you alone before"
"Ugh stop being such a mom" Tubbo says, his voice breaking a little.
"Aghhhhh ok before you fucking change your mind and blow it off, go! Have fun!" Tubbo says and Dream winks at me
"Shut up dick" I say to Dream before walking outside.

*HONK* *HONK*

Minx leans down so I can see her through the window. She's wearing her old vintage glasses and she looks very, very hot.
"Heyyyyy, you excited?" She smirks at me and right after I get in, begins to drive. We get to the end of the street and stop at a stop sign,
"Yes and no. Dream's probably going to drop Tubbo off at Ranboo's for the week and then either throw a party, or just...hang out with Geeoooooorrrgggge...y'know maybe I should call him-" I start to freak and rummage through my pockets, trying to find my phone when suddenly I feel her soft lips against my own. She pulls away at touches my face,
"Calm down. It's only 8 days. They'll be fine."
