After finishing up their lunch, Ranboo, Tommy and Tubbo walked over to the abandoned tracks where the Court House was.

"You ready, Tommy?" Ranboo asked, looking down at the slightly smaller boy next to him while they were looking at the courthouse.

Letting out a shaky breath, Tommy looked up at Ranboo, with a slight smile.

"Yeah, lets go."

"Okay- George, do you have anything else to add or can the opposition speak?" Tubbo asked, looking down at the paper in front of him.

"Uhm, Ill allow him to speak." George said, who was previously looking at his nails and his ring on his finger, now looking up at Tubbo with a smile on his face.

"Well you dont allow shit bitch." Tubbo said, after putting down his paper and glaring slightly at George, causing people including Tommy and the minutes girl(cough cough me) to break into laughter.

"Sorry to interrupt but I have a question," Dream called out, raising his hand in the air so Tubbo could locate him in the crowd.

"Yeah, Dream?"

"Was Tommy, the ONLY one at the crime scene?"

"Yes, I already confessed that." Tommy said, with a confident edge in his voice before freaking out internally.

'HE KNOWS! NO NO NO, DAMN IT. W H Y. HELP. GOGY. AHHHH-'

"Then- how do you explain this?" Dream questioned, pulling a book from out of his bag with the words DO NOT READ on the cover, a name scrawled at the bottom of the cover, and a smirk clear from behind his mask.

~In the crowd with Ranboo~

'MY DIARY!! Did I leave it in the house?? How- Why- No- I need to do something? But he said to stay quiet :) But what if they hate me-? Ill take my chances. As you wish- REN-'

~Back with Tommy~

'Thats his diary?'

"Where did you find that?" Tommy questioned, shaken up.

"Oh, just near the window in Georges house. So- who is Ren? Or is the-" Dream rambled on before getting cut up by a certain someone.

"ME!"

Tommy and Tubbos heads fwipped to where the familiar voice was coming from, to see Ranboo removing his mask and hanging it off one ear, and him hanging his glasses off his shirt.

"Thats- My diary. Im Ren."

"RANBOO?!?" Tommy and Tubbo both yelled out in confusion to see a familiar face.

~

The entire court went to silence, everyone looking over at Ranboo, now known as Ren.

"I-" Tommy then fell out of his chair at booth and onto the floor from the shock.

'Why did he say that?' Dream thought to himself, with a shocked yet very confused look on his face for Ren.

"Well things went from 0 to 100 real quick-" Raelia spoke up, writing down the new minutes aggressively.

"Yeah um- surprise...! sorry-" Ranboo says with a bit of a shy expression on his face.

Looking back at Tubbo, who was shaking his head profusely, before yelling.

"RANBOO WHY THE FUCK HAVE YOU NOT ANSWERED MY MESSAGES?!?!"

Causing Tommy, and the rest of the court to burst into laughter from the sudden exclamation.

~

"S-SO! Tommy couldn't help himself but keep laughing while trying to talk. s-since we are t-two, can w-we- HAHAA- c-can we share the g-guilt? Like- *wheeze* w-w could do c-community service. I-Ill take 3 weeks, s-so Ranboo can take o-one- HAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"Yeah, I guess that's fine- as long as Tommy repairs the damages." Dream replies, ignoring all of Tommy's laughter and averting eye contact from anyone. 'That was close XD and Ran would have killed me if not-'

"TOMMY STOP LAUGHING OR ILL MAKE IT 5 WEEKS!" Tubbo yelled at Tommy, with a fake hurt look on his face.

"But yeah," Tubbo continued. "Since both of you did it, you can both share the punishment, end of case!"

While everyone started forwarding back outside, Dream walked past Ranboo and placing his hand on his shoulder for a moment.

"I'll see you outside."

"Yeah, don't worry." Ranboo responded, side glancing Dream.

Alright, and with that, Dream walked outside.
~
"Ranboo that was amazing!" Tubbo shouts, running up to Ranboo, with Tommy following shortly behind.
"Yeah, I owe you one bossman," Tommy agrees with a smile on his face.
Taken aback, Ranboo smiles slightly, "Oh don't worry about it- I'll see ya at school!"
"Alright!"
"Cya bossman!"
Ranboo exhales, and walks outside to go meet Dream.
~
Hearing footsteps, Dream looks up from his phone to see Ranboo walking out of the 'Courthouse.'
"You wanna go home?" Dream asks, pocketing his phone and standing up straighter.
"Yes please," Ranboo replies with a tired smile on his face.

A/N
I hope you enjoyed! I was considering breaking these up into two chapters, stopping this chapter at when Dream and Ranboo are outside their house, let me know what you think of that and I might edit it for the next chapter.
Anyways have a good day/night/morning/afternoon!
((Also I edited it slightly because for some reason there were no "" or '' signs indicating speech, so just a quick lil' fix, and I made it so that the next chapter will have the new characters in, rather than leaving it off a kinda cliffhanger in a way :]))
