TommyInnit's High Quality Gems and Apparently Also Healing

Chapter 2; (Insert a Brilliant Title) <3

Time: 8:47pm (it's dark outside, ok?)

"Tom Tom! This way!"

I laugh, and run after him. Michael seems to know where he's going, but I have the 'restaurant's' location on my phone, so I race ahead of him into the nicely lit area of the plaza it's located in.

Just as I enter the restaurant area, I see Michael already there, grinning at the person behind the counter of the food truck.

"Michael! How'd you get here before me?!"

"I took a shortcut!" he signed while giggling.

"Well, I guess that means you get to choose where we get dessert too!"

The food truck restaurant had a nice sitting area, and a lot of people were eating happily at their food.

I look at the menu of the food truck, and I go to order. I looked at the cashier, and oh my primes... ITS A FURRY!

They had brilliant yellow eyes, orange hair... and two large fox ears on top of their head.

I hold back a snicker as I order and go to translate for Michael, but the cashier waves me off. Instead, they turn to Michael and sign:

"Hey bud! What do you want? It's on the house!"

Michael's eyes widen, and he gins.

As he gives his order I notice a crowd start to form on the other side of the plaza.

"Hey Michael! There's something going on over there. Do you wanna go check it out?"

He nods eagerly, and we start to head over. Someone was playing the guitar and singing. The song was familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd heard it before. They had a strong voice, and they clearly weren't beginners on the guitar. I couldn't see them that well, but the crowd soon thinned and I could see them better; they wore a yellow hoodie and black pants. Their curly brown hair was tucked under a beanie, and they had round glasses on their nose... and yet again, I get the sudden intense feeling as if I know this person...

What the heck?

First an old man, now a (wannabe) Victorian guitar player?

I'm going insane, aren't I?

The crowd around us cheered as the man(? Woman? Non-binary? Not sure, maybe I'll see them later and ask them) finished his song, stood up, and walked in our general direction, towards the 'restaurant'.

"Come on Michael! I think our foods ready!"

He grabs my hand as we walk to the food truck restaurant thing. As we get there, we see the guitar man laugh at the furry cashier as he messes his hair up. The furry in turn, makes a face as they try to fix their hair.

"Order for Michael!"

Michael grins as we head over to the counter. The guitar player disappeared in the time we got there, but we got our food and sat at a table. The food was amazing, so me and Michael finished quickly. We didn't need to be anywhere right this second, but we still decided to leave in a few minutes. But just I was about to stand up, a hand grabs my shoulder.

"Hello Thomas :)"

Dream-

The world slows down, and I jump out of my seat and scream:

"MICHAEL! RUN!"

Dream is the most powerful hero in the city. He would've been number 1, but he wasn't afraid to kill someone if he had to, so the higher ups decided against it.

As we run in different directions, Michael disappears into the crowd, and I run down an alley way. It's dark yes, but I know the way better than the back of my hand. As we exit the alley, there's a big group of people on the street. I use it as cover. I run straight into it as Dream gets swarmed by lots of people asking what he was doing out, and if he was signing autographs.

As I neared the other side of the crowd, I pulled up my hood and started walking at a normal pace till I reached the café. After I entered the café, I locked the door behind me and went to the back door of the café to see if Michael was in the alley. He wasn't there, so I went back inside.

After a few minutes, I hear a knocking sound at the back door and go open it. Michael was standing on the other side looking like he ran a marathon. He most likely did- Dream won't give up so easily, so Michael probably had to take the long way to get here.

I brought him inside and we went into the back room. We were prepared for this so there was extra food (not just pastries and sweets), clothing, and bedding. I made sure Michael was comfortable and went to the front of the café to check for Dream. The coast was clear, so I went back to Michael. He was already asleep, so I curled up next to him and let his soft breathing put me to sleep.

What he didn't see was the dark figure quietly watching all of this from the top of a building.

"I wonder what's so special about you." ??? said with a grin.

new chapterrrrrr!!!

#MentalIssuesSuck :')

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I lost my phone, had to do part of this on my laptop, and got harassed at school because of my height  :'D

Notes:

Yes, the furry is Fundy <3

Wilbur is obviously the guitar player (RESPECT THE PRONOUNS 💪😀)

It wasn't meant for Michael and Tommy to both use a crowd to escape Dream while he was chasing them, but idk, I think it turned out ok...

While I was writing this, Dream speed run music started playing for some reason-

Don't question the sudden POV change at the end- I didn't know how to do it correctly so we get this piece of trash of a cliff hanger.

Anymore Questions?
