Tommy walked through the snow, it sounded like a light crunch as it compacted under him, he closed the gate behind him and followed the footsteps of Techno and his horse. The tracks went out for a few yards and then turned left, it's unusual because if he was going to his cabin, he'd still be going straight... Tommy followed the tracks and it seemed to circle around to the back of your home, where the barn and the coop were. He saw a flicker of orange and black, and then red and pink though the dark oak trees ahead of him. He quickly followed the tracks that were left behind by what he would assume to be Technoblade and the fox in question, he heard a scream that was familiar, and a squeak of snow as something heavy fell on it. He ran over to see a face he hadn't seen in a long time, along with a dead chicken sprawled in the snow in front them. Fundy.

"H-Hey Technoblade, please get off of me." Fundy pleaded as Techno held Fundy's hands behind his back, he was face forward in the snow, unable to weasel out of the man's grasp no matter how hard he tried. Tommy saw this and moved closer to the two, he was just a little away from earshot as he came into their line of sight from behind, was Fundy the fox that was stealing your chickens?

"TECHNOBLADE!" Tommy yelled, he quickly ran towards the two, they were in a ditch of sorts, it wasn't big, but it was a bit steep. Techno looked at Tommy and loosened his grip on Fundy a little, Fundy took this opportunity and wrestled his way out of the piglin-hybrid's grasp and stumbled forward on his feet. Fundy looked at the two with a surprised expression, mostly Techno because he would have been able to track his scent, but because of the snow it made it a bit difficult. He didn't expect to see them all the way out here, it was a long way away from Techno's home, and L'Manburg, not to mention Tommy too, what were the two of them doing all the way out here? He didn't bother to stick around though, he quickly turned around and picked up the chicken before getting the hell out of there, god knows if they knew you, and would rat him out as the chicken murderer.

Tommy watched as Fundy ran away with the chicken, he put the pieces together and realized that he was the fox that got into your coop. He quickly walked over to Techno, the piglin-hybrid grunted as he walked past the blonde and up the hill, he seemed mad? Why would Techno be mad about Fundy, well, besides their history, over a chicken. The boy followed quickly behind the man,

"Technoblade, why did you follow Fundy's footsteps?" He asked curiously, it was a valid question, but he didn't respond as they walked for a bit. Ghostbur and Carl came into view, the ghost looked at Tommy with both glee and confusion in his face, but he floated over and spoke cheerfully

"Tommy! Techno! Did you find the fox?" Techno nodded, and Tommy interjected,

"Did you know it was your-" Techno hit the back of his head lightly, a way of saying to not talk about it, Tommy assumed it was because Ghostbur could be rubbed the wrong way because of it. Ghostbur tilted his head,

"Why are you out here Tommy? Aren't you staying with Miss (Y/N)?" Ghostbur looked at the bag Tommy was holding, and the crossbow that he wore like a backpack, "Oh! Are you coming with us?" The ghost's eyes seemed to light up at the idea of Tommy joining them. Techno on the other hand seemed to be more or less displeased with this outcome, mostly because Tommy was basically a raccoon in his eyes. But he didn't say anything,

"I sure am! I want Phil to teach me to use a crossbow." Tommy wanted to get Dream back for hurting you, he was so scared when you got hurt because of the masked (teletubby) bastard. And to learn a few things from the old birdman. Techno sighed as he started to ride Carl back to the two cabins, Phil was sure to be confused about their surprise guest and your relationship with them.

The house seemed quiet as Tommy left again, but it's a sort of odd quiet, like the time around you moved much slower than usual. You made dinner for yourself and you went out of your home at around 6pm to feed your animals and to collect your chickens eggs since you didn't get them earlier. It was unfortunate one of them was killed by that fox, but you just let it be, after all, they probably were hungry. You went inside and started to knit, it was a red scarf, with white ends. It was going to be a thank you gift for Techno since he was kind enough to help you. You planned to make a dark green and white one for Phil, and a dark blue blanket for your ghostly friend. You were glad to have met them, and you hoped it would be a good thing as well.

"Punz, come take a walk with me." There was silence for a moment, then a rustling of a bag and a set of footsteps approaching the masked man. Punz walked beside Dream, as he discussed a plan, Punz would falsely be against Dream for a while, and would spy on L'Manburg through the inside, Dream would pay a hefty price for it, but that would be expected after all. Punz assumed that their meeting was concluded after Dream paid him, but he was mistaken.

"One last thing, I need you to keep an eye on a woman, she lives on a farm in a dark oak forest, about a good two hundred miles from L'manburg." Dream handed a paper with coordinates, and two netherite ingots, "I need to know who visits her, who she's friends with, and what her relationship with Tommy is."

Punz looked at the paper and the ingots, it was generous pay for just some information, so was the woman dangerous? He didn't have enough time to think before he looked up to find that Dream had disappeared, damn, that bastard was light on his feet. Punz put the ingots in his bag before setting off. What had he gotten himself into?

It's been a week since Tommy had left, he was currently out doing a shooting exercise with the crossbow you had given him, it was very durable, and never faltered no matter how many times he shot it. Phil was certainly surprised to hear that he was your kid, and even more so that you had given him one of your crossbows. He had taught you how to shoot a crossbow when you were little, and to think you'd give away one of your prized possessions. Phil directed Tommy how to properly shoot the crossbow, he even put up targets on the trees that were behind the cabins. Tommy was picking it up pretty well.

Ghostbur was floating around the area, he had just gotten word about a sort of festival happening in L'Manburg. He arrived at the tow cabins and saw Phil.

"Phil! There's a festival being held soon!" Ghostbur was a bit excited, there hadn't been one since Technoblade escaped. The ghost had what seemed to be a paper with him, it was labeled, "Green Festival" it had a time and date, it would be a week from now. Phil looked at the paper and copied the information down on another sheet, he tacked it down on Techno's door and gave the paper back to Ghostbur,

"Ghostbur, I'd advise you don't go to the festival, it seems a bit odd for it to be named 'Green Festival.'." Phil was sceptical about the reason for it to be held, that's why he tacked the information to Techno's door.

"Oh, ok! Can I tell (Y/N) about it though? She's never seen L'Manburg before, I think it'll be cool to show her!" Ghostbur seemed adamant on showing you L'Manburg for some reason, he had mentioned it a few times over the course of the week Tommy was staying, and wouldn't drop the topic until Techno came over to ask him to. Phil sighed and shook his head,

"Please don't, L'Manburg is dangerous, she shouldn't be involved in what's going on with us. Besides, there are probably some people already looking for her because of Tommy, we can't drag her into more of a mess because of us." Phil sighed as he rested his head in his hands, there were many reasons why he never visited you after all those years, one of them being the promise he had made with your parents prior to them passing. Ghostbur seemed to understand and left the paper in Phil's cabin before going to feed Friend. The topic was dropped.
