I stood for a minute and looked around, letting the others get on the escalator first. I wanted to know where I was going before I went down and got lost in the crowds of people waiting or reuniting. 

It was harder to find Phil and Tubbo than it was to find Dream when I had gone to the first meet-up. At least Dream had decided to have a sign, because I could not see any sign that gave me any clue if my friends were done there waiting for me. 

Upon realising the only way I probably would be able to find them was to go down there, I took a quick breath and stepped onto the escalator, holding my suitcases close to me as I descended into the crowds of people. 

The escalator ended up putting me in a large group of people and I fought past them to the edges of the room, away from the main group of people reuniting. Maybe my friends would be hanging around the side. 

And I was right about this, because as soon as I exited the crowd, there was a shout and a sudden weight around my stomach, and I fought to keep myself up as the excited short boy tightened his hold on me. 

"Hi Boss Man" Tubbo said and smiled, looking up at me. 

"hi Tub-oh" I said, and let go of one of my suitcases to wrap my arm around him in a hug while looking over to where Phil was running to get over here. 

"Hey Mate" He said, smiling and breathing heavily as he bent over, catching his breath from chasing Tubbo across the entire room to get to me. "We should probably go" He stood up properly and gestured to the crowd, where a bunch of people had started to look at us and were whispering. I could spot at least a few of them wearing merch, so they definitely recognised us. 

"Yeah let's go" I let go of Tubbo and go to grab my suitcases, only for both Tubbo and Phil to grab them first. 

"We have been instructed to treat you like a child because of your surgery" Phil said and started walking away, dragging my lighter suitcase behind him while Tubbo grabbed my heavier one. 

"That's stupid" I muttered and hurried to catch up with them, fixing my backpack as I walked, almost managing to lift my arms higher then my chest before Tubbo smacked them down. 

"You're not allowed to do that" 

"But I am! The doctor said I'm allowed to by now, but Eclipse is just being over protective" I explained but Tubbo shook his head. 

"I'm not getting killed by Eclipse because you have to go to a hospital" He crossed his arms and walked faster, leaving me and Phil to catch up with him. 

"Mate wait up, it's my car, it's not like you can do anything if you get there first" Phil yelled ahead, and Tubbo mimicked him rudely, but did slow down enough for me and Phil to catch up. 

"By the way Ranboo, you're sleeping on the couch today because I didn't have enough time to build the bed frame" Tubbo said, smiling innocently at me, giggling as I sighed. Sure, I was slightly upset that he hadn't built the frame, but honestly I would sleep anywhere. Even after all the sleep on the plane, I was still very tired and was ready to fall asleep anywhere I could. 

Maybe I would steal his bed to spite him and force him to sleep on the couch. Not that I think that would work, but I might as well try. 

 It takes another few minutes for us to reach the car, but we hurry, avoiding anyone who looks like they might recognise us. Usually we would be fine with talking and taking photos, but I was really tired and didn't want to deal with people, and my friends seemed to notice this, and pushed me along towards where they had parked. 

It took a minute for Phil to find the right key and unlock the car, but soon enough I was barely awake in the passenger seat, leaning against my hand as I struggled to stay awake. The other two were talking about a future Tommy vlog that I had also been invited to, but I drowned them out and focused on the land that was rushing past my window. The UK was quite pretty, with many pretty trees and nice buildings. I wonder what the house that Eclipse and Solar had bought looked like. They had promised me that they had already bought a house, and I'm hoping they weren't lying, as I was definitely not going to check out houses with them. 

We arrived at what I could assume was Tubbo's house, and Phil kicked us out, talking about how he should get back before his wife starts watching their show without him, so it was just me and Tubbo, and my two suitcases, which he immediately grabbed, before running into the house, me slowly following behind him, half asleep and ready to fall at any minute. 

Sadly, Tubbo wasn't going to let me sleep anytime soon and he forced me through a small tour of the house, but when we finally made it to where he was sleeping (at the very end of the tour), I fell onto his bed, ignoring his sudden shouts and complaints as he tried to pull me away from the comfort. But I was not at all moving, and I grabbed onto the sheets of the bed as he dragged me off the bed by my legs, resulting in the sheets coming with me into the hallway and then towards the couch where he said I would be sleeping. 

As to brag about his strength and to also help me up, he crouched next to where I laid on the floor and pushed his arms under me before scooping me up and setting me on the couch, laying the blanket on top of me. 

"There. You can sleep now" He mutters and steals the sheets back from my hands "Oh come on. Now i have to make my bed again"
