Running from the past...(ABANDONED)

Figuring things out...

-Tommy's POV-
I picked up my pickaxe and started to mine. I need tools, resources and everything so that I could hopefully live on my own soon. I'm not planning on staying with the hermits, so I hope that after I gather enough resources, I could find somewhere to set up my base and not be disturbed.

While I love the hermits and their videos, I don't want to accidentally be seen in one since, not to brag, but I am pretty popular on Youtube.

So far, the hermits had avoided me while doing videos but I'm sure how long that going to last. I'm glad that they have been avoiding me while filming though, I don't need Dream and the others to figure out i'm on Hermitcraft.

If they did..well who knows what they would do. Perhaps they would tell Xisuma and convince X to ban me..or maybe they would drag me back..Either way, being in videos wouldn't help me in any way.

I sighed slightly, perhaps I should go back up. Its been a while since I started to mine.

-Mumbo's POV-
Mumbo was looking for Tommy to ask if he wanted to film. Mumbo was a little suspicious of Tommy to be honest..He looked a lot like Grian but younger..so he was trying to spend more time with Tommy to see if he could figure everything out.

"Hey Gri— Tommy!" Mumbo shouted after spotting Tommy coming out of a mine.

"Oh hey Mumbo!" Tommy said waving back.

"Do you want to film with me?" Mumbo asked.

"Uhh..I don't know..I'm kinda..iffy about showing my face in public." He replied nervously.

'Suspicious' Mumbo thought but didn't say it aloud. 'No, no I shouldn't say anything yet..Maybe he really is nervous and doesn't want to show his face..Its understandable.'

"How about we cover your face? I could lend you a hoodie?" Mumbo suggested.

"Hmm..sure that works." Tommy agreed, nodding his head in agreement.

"Okay! Follow me then." Mumbo said cheerfully.

—A little while later & Tommy's POV-

"Are we there yettt?" Tommy asked for what felt like the 1000th time.

"No Tommy, like I said the last 15 times you asked." Mumbo replied, man he really was like Grian..so impatient.

"I can't help it, I'm boreeeddd..."

"Its only been like 30 minutes since we started walking Tommy.."

"Still..." Tommy definitely didn't pout. To be honest, although he stated earlier that he didn't want to be in videos, he was very excited to film videos again.

"Well, you'll be glad to know we're here now." Mumbo mumbled.

"WE ARE?" Tommy yelled jumping up.

"Yeah," Mumbo rolled his eyes.
"Come on, Toms." Mumbo said walking ahead.

Tommy nearly froze at the nickname— it was exactly what Wilbur called him..

"You good Tommy?" Mumbo asked turning to him in concern after Tommy froze.

"Uh— yeah.." Tommy said awkwardly catching up to Mumbo.

"Oh— I'm sorry if that nickname makes you uncomfortable— I just tend to shorten names and—"

"Its fine Mumbo, it just reminded me of..of my brother." Tommy muttered.

"Oh." Mumbo said awkwardly. He made a mental note that 1. Tommy doesn't like to be called Toms and 2. Tommy has a brother.

Heya!! Sorry this chapter was so short— I didn't want to go into too much detail and I also didn't want to drag this chapter on too much and just never post it.

I might post shorter chapters from here on out in order to have enough motivation to finish RFTP.

I really don't want to abandon this story so i'll try to make it work.

Oh! I also have many Ideas so feel free to check out my new oneshots book for fandoms. I'm in many fandoms so you'll see manyyyy different ones.
