BABYSITTING

Tommy was packing his things when all the sudden he realized he had a kid—Shroud.

Now, some might say it's bad to forget you have a literal child. That may be right, honestly, but this is Tommy.

Tommy jolted up and ran over to his communicator. He cursed to himself as he kept spelling words wrong.

TommyInnit
i need a favor tubs, please

Tubbo_
what is it?

TommyInnit
can you watch shroud for me

Tubbo_
oh, sure! bring him over

Tommy sighed in relief, and wrapped things up where he was. "Shroud!" He called out, rushing to find the spider-boy. "Shroud, where are you?" Tommy looked around, unable to have any luck. He started to pull out his communicator, when suddenly it buzzed.

Ranboo
dude wtf your child is in my house

Tommy chuckled before starting to respond.

TommyInnit
oh yeah Tubbo said you guys could babysit him
i didnt find him in my house so i was worried
he is there right

Ranboo
yeah
kinda just walked up to me and stared at me-

As Tommy lugged his shulker boxes full of his necessities into a chest fastened onto a horse, he heard someone calling out to him from behind.

"Tommy!" The voice yelled. "Have a good trip!"

He looked behind himself, scanning around, to then find the one and only Purpled. "Purpled?" Tommy questioned. "I thought you'd be somewhere else." Purpled slowly walked over. "Eh, had the day off. Might as well take it," he said looking at his horse. "Well, you'd better get going, right? I'll see you soon." He spoke, already walking away. "Yeah yo- oh." Tommy stood there for a second before latching the chests shut and making sure the bridle and saddle were put on right. Purpled started to distance from Tommy lately, so he guessed it wasn't that weird. But—he'd walked away after saying such minimal sentences . . . Weird, Tommy shivered.

Once a-top the horse, Tommy directed his horse to face where he was headed. He was going to take a little trip to himself for a bit to try to distract himself from all the events he'd experienced in his lifetime. His whole childhood was what most people would call ruined, and they aren't wrong.

Shroud the spider was already playing around with Micheal somehow, but a curious Ranboo couldn't help but notice Micheal was talking to someone. As they slowly crept into the room softly, they found the one who they'd assumed was talking to Micheal—Shroud. It isn't new for Shroud to randomly walk over to the mansion to hang out with Micheal, and Tommy was supposed to be teaching him not to walk off like that . . . But he obviously sucks at his job.

Their face of confusion softened into a smile as they looked at their son.

Until Shroud bared his teeth and pounced on Micheal with a familiar hiss.
