Building a Bridge

The Newbie is a Bitch

It started to get cold so I grabbed Tubbo's hand and used my fire magic to keep us both warm. Tubbo smiled at me, I stuck my tongue out at him. We weaved through the crowd, mindful so we don't accidentally lose Phil, Techno, and Will. We had almost gotten to the path home when Dream came into view.

"Why are you here, Dream?" Phil demanded.

Dream hummed, "Oh, no reason. Just decided to stop by in town, browse, you know? Say, it's pretty cold out doncha think?"

"What are you getting at?"

"Well, no need to be so feisty, Phil. We're all on the same side, after all."

"Spit it out, Dream,"

"Fine, why are your two new kids not cold? It's freezing out, don't you think they would be at least a little bit cold?"

My heart sped up, is he trying to hint to Phil that we have magic? Phil can't know.

"We were street rats. We got used to the cold." I gripped Tubbo's hand tighter. It wasn't exactly a lie, before we found out about my magic we were near freezing to death every winter.

Dream seemed to take that as a good enough answer because he walked off, but Phil just stared at us. He probably pitied us. I hate pity.
"Let's go." I tugged Tubbo along, no longer caring if they lose us in the crowd.

We finally reached their house and settled down. I was about to head upstairs to rest, but Phil asked me to stay. We waited in the living room for a while, not really knowing what to do. I talked to Tubs for a bit, making light conversation, before Phil walked in with a kid with purple particles floating around him. 'I thought you guys could hang out with someone your age other than yourselves for once' This, 'Don't call him weird, Tommy. That's mean!' that, and I'm not bein' mean, I'm just telling the truth!

Tubbo and I sat cross-legged in front of an amnesiac, lanky, Enderman hybrid, bitch.

"H-Hi?" The bitch stuttered.

I narrowed my eyes, "Hello,"

"My name is Ranboo, what are your names?" Ranboo the bitch asked.

"My name is The Biggest Man. This is Big Man,"

Tubbo snorted, "I'm Tubbo, he's Tommy!"

I gasped in -feigned- very much real offense "Tubs!"

Tubbo giggled while Ranboob managed a hesitant smile, "O-Oh, nice to m-meet you both,"

"Mememe, I'm Ranboob, and I'm a little bitch,"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are t-"

"Shut up!" Tubbo yelled.

I quickly snapped my mouth shut, however, still glaring at Ranboob.

"S-Sorry..." Ranboob shyly said.

"It's all right, Ranboo. Tommy was being rude,"

I was about to deny before Tubbo glared at me, but I decided that Tubbo was being delusional, so I would talk to him about it later. Definitely nothing about his glaring that is totally not scary at all.

"Now, do you want to go to the backyard, Tommy, Ranboo?"

I grinned and Ranboo lit up, "Yes!- Please!"

Tubbo opened the back door and let us out. I ran over to the willow tree by the creek while Tubbo had lingered near the house to walk with Ranboo. Eventually, they made it to the willow tree and Tubbo was trying to get the dirt out of my pants with the creek water.
