Tommy is slightly stunned when he isn't met with blistering heat on the upper deck one morning. There's a cool breeze in the air. Autumn was definitely tired of waiting.

The crew has set sail again. Over the weeks, they had been to several little towns and cities. He didn't recognize any of them, and his family wasn't there either. But every time he started feeling hopeless, someone on the ship would pick him right back up again.

It felt like one big family in a way. Puffy, Bad, Sam, and Niki all definitely had the roles of 'parent'. Foolish and Y/n were older siblings, Dream and George occasionally fell into the role as well. Tubbo and Ranboo were easily his best friends. Eret was everyone's best friend...except maybe Y/n's after haircut day. Antfrost and Sapnap are the rowdy cousins, and Micahel was the baby brother.

It was dysfunctional sometimes, but in a way, it worked out.

"Hey Tommy," Bad comes over to him with a little clipboard that he carried around. Tommy dreads his morning chore assignment right when he sees it. "Y/n was looking for you. She's doing kitchen inventory this morning,"

"Oh, okay," The blonde doesn't question it. "Thanks,"

He runs back into the belly of the ship to the canteen. Y/n is sitting on the counter edge eating while Foolish sorts through the food crates in the back.

"Morning Toms," She says.

"Bad said you were looking for me,"

"Righto," She hops down and quickly scarfes down the hard-boiled egg that she had been eating. "Come on, we're going flying,"

"Don't you have chores?" He says.

"I've got it," Foolish says. "Plus it's easier to take inventory of the food when Y/n isn't eating all of it,"

"Dunno what you're talking about," She says awkwardly. "Aaaanyway come on Tommy let's go-"

Tommy is dragged right back up to the top deck of the boat by the sleeve of his shirt.

"Oooo nice weather," Y/n spins around a few times. "I've missed this,"

"So what BS are you making me do today?" He jokes.

"Well, the only time you've actually been flying is when I first brought you to the boat," She says. "So I figured that today I'd just take you out flying again,"

"Yes!" He pumps a fist in the air. "Finally!"

Y/n laughs and shifts into her crow form, which crouches down so that he can climb on.

"I wanna go!" Michael runs over, only to be scooped up by Ranboo before he can try and follow suit.

"Maybe another time bud," The enderman says.

The crow bows its head down so that the child can pet it. After Michael giggles happily, she pulls away.

"Onward!" Tommy says while dramatically pointing ahead. The crow scoffs, but finally takes off into the air. The boy yelps at the sudden blast of wind in his face that nearly blows him off. His hands grip the black feathers underneath them to barely hold on. "Holy shit-!"

The crow eventually evens out just below the clouds. Tommy looks down at the ocean below, suddenly feeling so much bigger than the rest of the world.

"Hell yeah!" He shouts. "This is awesome!"
