Plot: When the three eggs were discovered on the island, everyone thought that Sunny was mute because she only communicated by sign language and writing. Tubbo was taking care of Sunny but something came up and he had to have someone babysit, which was Fred. Fred knows sign language so he is able to communicate to Sunny.

Tubbo's POV

Sunny and I were coloring, we were waiting for Fred to come. I tapped Sunny's shoulder to get her attention, "Are you hungry?" Sunny nodded. I always wanted a child, Although shared, I have one now, and I get to spoiler her! Sunny nodded and wrote in her notebook, 'Can I have grilled cheese?' I smiled at her, "Of course you can!" I took out a pan and made her a grilled cheese. Just like Fred, Sunny doesn't speak like the other kids. And it's not a bad thing, we just don't know if she can speak, she might still be shy. 

As I was giving Sunny her grilled cheese, I heard the doorbell ring. I went to get it, it was Fred. "Hi Fred!" I smiled as I hugged him. "Hi Tubbo!" he hugged back. When we parted, I grabbed his hand and dragged him inside. "Sunny?" I tried to get her attention. She looked over, she was about to eat a bite of her grilled cheese until she saw Fred. She jumped out of her seat and ran towards Fred. She loves Fred. Sunny gave him a big hug. 

Suddenly, my phone started to ring so I answered my phone, "Hello?" "Tubbo! We need you right now!" Fit sounded slightly panicked. "Woah hold on, what happened?" I asked. "Is Sunny with you?" Fit asked. I looked at Sunny, "Yeah, she is. Why?" "I can't tell you and she can't come, we just need you by the wall," Fit said and hung up. 

"Hey I really have to go, can you please watch Sunny while I'm gone?" I asked Fred. He nods, "Bye Tubs!" Sunny waved me goodbye as I ran out the door.

Fred's POV

I picked up Sunny and had her sit down at the table so she could finish her food. When she was done, she took a piece of paper and started to draw a picture. I decided to let her draw it while I cleaned up. Once I was done, I looked at her picture. It was a drawing of a cabin in the woods. I took out my notebook and wrote, 'You are very talented for your age!' I tapped her on the shoulder and showed her the notebook. We both had a few things in common, art being one of them. She wrote in my notebook, 'Thank you! :)' I smiled and wrote, 'Do you know sign language?' She turned to me and signed, 'Yes I do' Not many people knew sign language and it was slightly annoying to write all the time.

I closed my notebook and put it in my bag. And signed, 'Can you understand me?' Sunny nodded in response, 'Can we go play with my toys?' I nodded and patted her head. Her hair was soft and I didn't want to mess it up too much. I heard her giggle as got off the chair. She ran down the hallway to her room. I've honestly never heard Sunny make a noise in her life, I'm glad she feels comfortable with me around. 

Once I got to Sunny's room, I looked around and saw a really nice sunset painted on the back of the wall. The room was filled with different shades of red, orange, and yellow. She turned to me and signed, 'Me and dad painted the wall! Do you like it?' I nodded and sighed back, 'Yes, you are both so talented!' Sunny giggled and pulled out some toys out of her closet. I guess we are playing with crochet dolls today. She gave me a blue dinosaur and she had a yellow one. She suddenly started to hit her dinosaur against mine. Her dinosaur was ruthless.

We've been been playing for about 30 minutes, Sunny suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. I looked at her and waited for her sign. 'Can I tell you a secret?' I nodded. She hesitated before signing, 'I can actually speak' She then looked down as if she was ashamed to admit it. I smiled and signed back, 'I can too! Do you feel like speaking?' Sunny sat deep in thought for a while, 'You go first' I took a deep breath in. It's been a while since I've actually spoke. 

"Hi Sunny," I whispered. I cleared my throat, I know I sounded weird. "That sounded odd," I sighed. I watched Sunny smile widely. "It's your turn now Sunny," I encouraged. She took a deep breath and looked at me, "Can I have some juice please?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. I nodded and got up. She giggled and spoke in a louder tone, "Thank you Papi!" I turned around, I definitely wasn't expecting her to call me that. I wasn't offended or anything, just surprised. She covered her mouth and started to cry. I walked to her and sat on my knees so I was on her level. I pulled her into a hug. "Please don't cry, it's okay!" I tried to reassure her. She curled up in a ball and cried. I pulled her in my lap and rubbed her back. 

She rubbed her eyes and cried. It's hard to explain why she is crying but I get it. I understand that speaking is hard. No one wants to say the wrong thing. "Hey it's okay, Papi's here," I whispered and hugged her tighter. She looked at me with teary eyes and smiled. I smiled back at her and wiped her tears, "Do you still want juice?" "Yes please!" she giggled and ran to the kitchen. I chuckled and followed her.

Once I got to the kitchen, I heard the keys in the door. Sunny looked at me with a bit of sadness. I lean down to her level, "Your secret is safe with me Sunny." I smiled and poured Sunny some apple juice. As soon as I gave her the juice, Tubbo ran up to me and jumped on me. "Hi Tubbo!" I smiled. "Hi Fred! I really missed you! Even though it's been about an hour," Tubbo rambled. I hugged him and he hugged back. I suddenly felt someone grab my leg. I looked down and see Sunny hugging my leg. I picked her up so she could hug the both of us. 

"Me and Sunny played a lot today, right Sunny?" I smiled and looked at her. She nodded. Tubbo smiled, "How about we all go play in the snow as soon as you two tell me all the fun things you did?" Sunny and I nodded and walked to the couch so we could tell our stories.
