Two years later (Tommy is now 4 almost 5)

"Tommy you need to stay close to us the nether is dangerous." Ranboo said holding Tommy's hand and pulling him back to the path.

"I thought I heard something daddy, I thought I heard someone crying!" Tommy said looking up at Ranboo clearly worried about whatever he heard.

"Then let's find whoever is crying!" Tubbo said picking Tommy up and trying to listen closely.

"Papa I want to be down I can't hear it up here." Tommy said pointing to the ground so tubbo would put him down.

"Alright then where to big man?" Tubbo said putting Tommy back down on the ground.

"This way." Tommy said pointing away from the path and walking toward the noise. "It's getting louder! They sound like they got an owie! We need to help them!" Tommy said running toward a cave that was partially collapsed.

"Wait Tommy no that's dangerous!" Ranboo said as he and tubbo chased after him.

"I found him! I think he's scared!" Tommy shouted from not far in the cave. He was sitting next to a baby zombie piglen that was crying and was bloody.

"He said that his mama and papa were in the cave and it fell apart onto them while he was waiting outside for them." Tommy said helping the piglen get up and out of the cave.

"Poor thing, he looks like he hasn't eaten in days." Tubbo said crouching down to look at him. "Can we take him home?" Tommy said excitedly.

"Of course! What's his name?" Ranboo said holding Tommy's hand as Tommy held the piglens hand.

"His name is Michael." Tommy said, the piglen smiled and took tubbos hand. As they left the nether and stepped through the portal Michael transformed from his piglen form to his over world.

He had turned into a little boy with pale pink skin one black eye and one white eye, his hair was pink with a large green streak in the front, he had an underbite with two pointed teeth, his ears were big and pointed as well. He was only wearing what looked like a very tattered potato sack. He winced at the light and then adjusted.

"Let's get you some new clothes Michael." Tubbo said as the group walked home together. Once they got home they decided that Tommy and Michael would share the room and made a bunk bed for them, making sure they wouldn't be able to fall out of it. They got some of tubbos old clothes since Tommy was bigger than Michael.

"Papa, can you tell us one of your stories again?" Tommy said to tubbo. "Of course, what story would you like to hear?" Tubbo said tucking Tommy and Michael into bed.

"The one about your bestest friend!" Tommy said excitedly. "Alright I'll tell you a story about when me and my best friend."

"When we were about your age he decided that we should make a treehouse, we didn't know how to build a treehouse but we thought we could figure it out ourselves. We gathered a bunch of wood and started making the treehouse, after a couple weeks of working on it we got our treehouse done, it wasn't very sturdy but we didn't care about that, but one day grandma puffy found us and got us out saying it was too dangerous. We were so sad that we couldn't have a treehouse. But a couple days later grandma puffy surprised us with a new treehouse that was much safer. We were so happy and my friend decided that he would live in the treehouse because he didn't have a home or a family. So for 5 years my best friend lived in a treehouse in my backyard." Tubbos eyes filled with tears as he told the story, remembering who Tommy used to be was very painful ever since he turned into a kid again.

"Papa why are you crying? I thought that was a happy story." Tommy said holding tubbos hand.

"It is a happy story, it just makes me think about my friend and how much I miss him. Sometimes happy memories can make you feel sad when you loose the people you shared them with." Tubbo said wiping away his tears.

"I think your friend would want you to think of memories with him and be happy. He wouldn't want you to be sad papa he would want you to be happy when you think of him." Tommy said laying down, he yawned and fell asleep.

Tubbo smiled and kissed Tommy on the forehead. Michael was already fast asleep in his bed, so Tubbo went to his room and fell asleep next to Ranboo.
