"You know, you technically didn't learn guitar." Wilbur stated looking over at Tommy's phone.

"Yeah but in counting it anyway." Tommy rolled his eyes and crossed out 'learn guitar'

"Did you text Purpled yet?" Wilbur asked from the drivers seat.

They were back in America and on their way to get grounded or worse.

"Not yet, I'll call him." Tommy said and quickly clicked onto his contact.

It waited a few rings until the familiar voice came through the phone. "Hey Tommy."

Tommy could hear arguing in the back. "Hey purp, we're back in America. Where are you guys?"

"I dunno, in the middle of no where that's for sure." Purpled yawned.

Tommy was surprised to hear this. "Wait, did you actually keep them on the road for two weeks?!"

He could practically hear Purpled's smirk. "I was their only hope. Seeing as they were three hours away from their house and I was the only car around."

Tommy contemplated that. Two weeks? That was a long time to be on the road. But Phil probably made them stop a couple nights to rest. Even if Techno tried to steal Purpled's car, there was no way Purpled let his keys out of sight. Tommy shook the thoughts away.

"We're getting off topic, can you meet us at Manifold Hotel?" Tommy looked over to Wilbur who was looking over at his gps constantly to make sure he was going the right way.

"Yeah, see you then." Purpled hung up first.

Eventually they arrived a the Manifold Hotel and was met with none other than the owner, Jack Manifold. He was a kind man at the front desk and he showed them their room.

They waited.

For the inevitable punishment they would receive when Purpled arrived with Phil and Techno.

Tommy was sure to get scolded first and then hugged while Wilbur would get scolded and probably shoes thrown at him for stealing a car.

Tommy smirked to himself. Grand theft auto much Wilbur?

Then they heard a knock at their hotel room door. Wilbur and Tommy shared a glance. A short, terrified glance.

Then the knock came again and Wilbur made his way to the door. He creaked it open and his Father and brother burst through the door.

"Tommy!" Phil came and rushed to Tommy. He hugged him.

That's not the reaction he expected.

"I'm so upset with you!" Phil let go and stared Tommy directly in the eyes.

Ah. Reverse order.

Purpled followed behind him. "Yo."

"Ayup." Tommy laughed out of fear.

"What were you thinking running away like that? For nearly 3 weeks! Tommy, you're in so much trouble right now." Phil said and hugged Tommy again.

"And you." Phil let ho of Tommy and looked to Wilbur. "How could you steal my car?! And leave me alone with Quackity's spawn of Satan for two weeks?! I had to stop Techno from killing him 5 times!"

"6 actually." Purpled chimed in.

"I'll make it 7 if you don't shut up." Techno yawned.

Purpled only stuck out his tongue and Techno nearly lunged for him.

Phil was right. Purpled was almost definitely the Quackitys spawn of Satan.

"You two are so grounded. Come on let's get home." Phil sighed and tried to drag Tommy out.

Tommy stopped though and pulled away. "But I'm not done yet."

Phil looked at him astonished. "With what? The bucket list? You have 60 years to complete that."

Wilbur looked at Tommy. "Toms. Tell them the truth. They're gonna find out soon anyway"

That must've given him away because Techno looked terrified to Tommy. "What?"

Tommy gave a pleasing look to Wilbur but Wilbur only shook his head.

"Tommy what does he mean?" Phil asked, not catching on yet.

Tommy couldn't speak. His heart was caught in his throat and his eyes were filled with water.

Techno made his way to Tommy and grabbed his arm to comfort him. "What does your countdown say right now?" His voice was soft. Softer than he had ever heard Technos voice.

Tommy looked up at his countdown with teary eyes.

11:05:18:12

Tommy looked back to Techno. "11 days."

Phils eyes widened and looked at Tommy. "You said 60 years.." the everlasting smile was gone.

That's not what Tommy wanted. "Tommy, you said 60 years." Phil couldn't believe what he heard.

Techno only hugged Tommy and tried to keep him from crying. But part of Tommy knew that it was for Technos sake too.

"That's why we're trying to complete his bucket list." Wilbur stated. "There's not much left to do. Please just let us complete it." Wilbur begged.

Tommy was on the verge of cracking but Techno hugged him tighter to keep him stable.

Phil nodded. "Purpled. You should get back to Quackity. He's probably worried sick."

Purpled nodded. "I want to say goodbye first."

Techno hesitantly let go of Tommy. Tommy walked over to Purpled. Knowing that in Purpled's next 76 years of living, we would never see Tommy again. This was it.

Purpled hugged Tommy. This was the First and last hug they would share. "I'll miss you." Purpled said softly to Tommy.

Tommy laughed a bit. "Don't do anything stupid. Ok?"

Purpled nodded. "Promise." And they let go of eachother.

Best friends since they met. And now this was goodbye.

Purpled groaned and rubbed his eyes. "I hate sappy stuff."

Tommy laughed and Purpled made his way to the door.

"Tell Professor Karl and Sapnap That im Sorry for skipping class." Techno called out.

"Will do." Purpled said and with that he left. Sapnap and Karl were Technoblades professors at College and Quackitys fiancé's. So they were technically his dads aswell.

Then Tommy broke. He fell to the ground in sobs and Techno and Wilbur rushed to help him.

Techno hugged him and stroked his hair while Wilbur laid his hand on Tommy's arm.

"Toms. It's okay." Wilbur comforted.

"We're here Theseus." Techno said.

There it was. It was subtle and no one but Tommy caught it. His Greek name. He earned it.

This however only made Tommy sob louder.
