Tommy wondered around the castle that had long since then abandoned and in ruins

He soon stumbled upon the thrown room where his father once sat as his children ran around happily

"Haha you can't catch me!!"
"Yes i will!"
"Hey come back here you!"
"No catch me if you can!"

Tommy wondered slowly to the thrown he traced his fingers along it

Slowly he gathered his strength and got onto the the thrown where his father had once sat and told the advisors what to do and how to do it

"Tommy don't you want to go play with your brothers?"
"Nuh hu i wanna draw and listen to you and papa!"
"Oh Tommy well why don't you show me what your drawing?"
"It's us! One big happy family!"
"Beautiful my dear"

"One big happy family" tommy recited as if it were a poem or perhaps a song

"Oh Tommy..."

Tommy slowly got down from the thrown and walked behind the thrown

"Tommy are you done with your drawing now?"
"Yes!"
"Why don't we put in on the back of the thrown?"
"Yeah!! Let's do it let's do it!!"

There on the back of the thrown stood the few drawings Tommy had made Tommy slowly ran his hand across the torn and burned pages

Tommy slowly took one drawing off the thrown and stared sadly at it

"It's all of us!"
"Aww toms that's adorable"
"It's even got Tubbo!"
"Aww tommy"

Tommy slowly put the drawing back and slowly left the ruined room where laughter and smiles could be heard a long time ago

He looked back one last time before leaving the room and continuing throughout the castle

He slowed his pace until he was before a door

He stood for a moment until a hand appeared on his shoulder

"Tommy don't worry they'll love you!"
"But what if they don't!?"
"Don't worry baby brother if we live you they will!"

Tommy looked to see who it was

It was Tubbo he smiled at Tommy as they slowly entered the old ballroom

"It's just as i remember" Tubbo said nonchalantly

"It truly is magnificent" tommy said smiling sadly as the memories flooded him

"Now entering the Royal Family!"
"See they love you"
"They will always love you"
"As will us"

"You think your up for a round of dancing Tubbo?" Tommy asked as he felt the need to dance a bit

"Of course I'd love to!" Tubbo's and happily as he grabbed Tommy's hands and spun him around until they were in the middle of the ballroom

"Just like when they were younger..."

Tommy could already imagine the music and the other dancers dancing around them like when they were younger

The music played and Tommy's sun Tubbo danced the night away
They spun around happily as the others laughed and smiled at their antics
"Such lovely young children they are" you could these the others say
"Indeed they are quite bright and happy" the others would say
Tubbo and Tommy danced until they dropped to the floor happily

Tommy and Tubbo dropped to the floor after spinning around so many times

They laughed at their old dance style they used to do

"Wanna go home yet Tommy?" Tubbo asked as he sat up

"Not quite yet there's still two other places i wanna see then we can go home" tommy said smiling as he got up off the dusty floor and dusted himself off then gave Tubbo and hand and they headed out of the old ballroom

Tommy and Tubbo held hands as they continued their journey through the halls until they reached the old music room

Tommy let go of Tubbo's hand and opened the doors and wondered in with Tubbo smiling sadly at the old room

"Wilbur can you sing us another song?" They asked as they stared at Wilbur whom held his guitar and smiled happily
"Of course you two!" He replied happily
The children smiled happily and listened intently as he strummed the guitar's strings and hummed along to the beat

Tommy picked up the old guitar and smiled sadly as he slowly put it back and then he wondered to the old piano which he used to play about with

"Tommy your doing it wrong dear let me show you" his mother said as she sat at the old piano and played the simple song
Tommy listened carefully but slowly he got more and more tired
"Ah is my dear butterfly tired?" She asked
"Nuh hu im not tired!" Tommy said smiled as he rubbed his eyes to rid of the tiredness they held
"Let's head to bed my dear Butterfly" she said as she held Tommy in her arms leading him away from the music room

Tommy slowly hit a note yet it didn't play

"Tommy you should play a song again someday" Tubbo said as he watched tommy wonder about the room

"Yeah your right maybe i should someday" tommy said smiling as he headed to the door where Tubbo stood

"Play again sometime Tommy..."

They soon headed out of the old music room with the doors closed behind them

They wondered the halls for a decent amount of time before they heads to the old library

"Let's read about war strategy again!"

Tommy used to sit about reading all day long with his brothers before the accident

Tommy slowly entered the room and looked about the old ruins where books were still about but all held dust, tears, rips, and tears of sadness

Tommy looked about the room and found what he was looking for

"The art of war one of my favorite books" techno said to his little brother
Why do you like a book about war?" Tommy asked
"Because one day I'll be able to protect you and my family" techno answered

"Im so sorry i couldn't protect you all"

Don't worry Techno your effort won't of been in vain tommy whispered to himself

He held the book in his arms and slowly turned around to look at Tubbo

Tubbo looked saddened at the sight of Tommy

Tears welded up in his eyes

"Oh Tommy let's go home" Tubbo said as he hugged Tommy

"But this is my home" Tommy whispered his voice barely bearable

"Tommy let's find your new home and maybe one day you'll see them all again" Tubbo's aid sadly but still smiled to comfort the pain

"Yeah your right" tommy said smiling slightly

"Let's go home brother..."
