A Better Life [Sbi×Coraline au]

Tommy, again, surfaced through the door.

He was greeted warmly by his other dad, and led into the kitchen. Everyone was sitting at the table, all with perfect smiles plastered acrossed thier faces.

"Hey guys." Tommy said happily, sitting down at the table. "What are we doing today?"

"You mean, what are you doing today." Phil said, placing his hands on Tommy's shoulders. "We thought that you might to go and see a show with you good freind Tubbo."

Almost as if on cue, there was a knock at the door.

In entered mute Tubbo, wearing the same smile he had had the day earlier.

"Uh...Sure!" Tommy said, getting out of his chair. He crossed the room, feeling every pair of eyes in the room focused on him.

He closed the door and turned to look at Tubbo.

"So...where's this 'show'?"

Tubbo gestured to Tommy to follow him and he rushed off. The pair eventually arrived at a set of stairs, leading to a doorway exactly like the one that Tommy had visited earlier that day.

There was no door to this place, only a curtain made of a wonderfully soft fabric. They pushed the curtain aside
and entered the room.

They were greeted by a man sitting in the center of the room. He was dressed almost business casual with a white collared dress shirt and a sleeveless suit-jacket. The only very eccentric decision was a tall red top hat perched on to of his head. His buttons were a deep blue, different from all the other black ones that Tommy had seen.

He looked like a more fixed up version of the Quackity that had been in the apartment back in Tommy's real home.

The man stood up, stretching his arms out. Seemingly hundreds of birds, Ducks to be more specific, came flying to meet his outstretched arms. Those who couldn't fit on his arms crowded on his shoulders, head, and feet. All with black buttons stitched into their eye sockets.

Tommy stepped back in awe. He had never seen so many brids in the same place.

The other Quackity flicked his wrist and a single duck flew over to Tommy, perching on his head and letting out a friendly quack noise.

A giggle escaped his lungs.

"I would suggest that you move." Other Quackity said mischeviuosly.

Just like that, all the birds perched on Quackity flew as fast as they could towards the curtain. Tommy and other Tubbo ducked to the ground, listening to all the ducks fly above them.

After they were all out, they rushed to the curtain and pushed it aside, watching the birds fly around as if they were acrobats.

Their movements seemed so calculated. So precise. It qas beautiful.

This went on for a good 5 minutes before the birds gathered together in sphere and flew back to where they came from, seemingly disappearing into the very cracks and crevasses of the house.

Tubbo and Tommy applauded the man as he took a bow, though not removing the top hat from his head.

"Come back any time, Tommy."

Tommy waved the man goodbye and began to walk down the stairs with a wide smile.

He found that his family was standing there, waiting for him to get down the stairs.

"How was it?" Mumza asked.

"It was so cool! The birds looked like the were acrobats, it was amazing!" Tommy went on and on about how amazing this place was, eventually throwing a quck goodbye to Tubbo as he solomnly walked away.

"You know, you could stay here forever if you wanted to." Philza said.

"Really?" Tommy asked, taking a seat at the table, like the rest of them.

"Of course. There is only one little thing you would need to do." Philza said, a wide smile painted acrossed his face.

Techno got up from his chair, holding a rectangular box. He placed it in front of Tommy, and Tommy ripped it open enthusiastically.

His heart immediatly dropped as he examined the contents of it.

A pair of buttons and a sewing needle, threaded with thick black thread.
