Slendytubbies Reimagined

A new day

Po's pov

I've never realized how peaceful looking at the beach is. Getting away from my siblings a bit also helps me feel at peace. I sigh in relief feeling the breeze in my fur. I could sit here all day if I wanted.

"Po, what are you doing here?"

I turn around knowing that robotic voice. Noo noo. My dad. He glided towards me standing right beside me. "Hey noo noo, I'm just sitting here relaxing. Getting away from the three for a bit". It stayed silent for a moment before he spoke up.
"Well they are wondering where you went..specifically Tinky" he said sounding slightly annoyed when saying Tinky's name. Though noo noo is nice to me he isn't to the rest of my siblings for some reason. I wish I understood why because they're sweet and I couldn't ask for anybody else. I sigh knowing that their worries though. "I think it is time for me to head back" I chuckled a bit. I looked at him while he stares at the water. "Are you coming with?" I ask getting up and dusting the sand off me.
"You can head back Po..I'll stay here" He replied still looking at the water. The more I look at him the more of a bad gut feeling I get. He usually doesn't go out alone. I nod and start walking back thinking about what happened while I was gone for a bit.

Walking up to the dome I see laa laa and Tinky standing outside. I inhale as I approach the both of them. "PO!!" My oldest brother Tinky yells at me and hugs me. "Where have you been? We've been starving!" He says breaking the hug grabbing my shoulders. "You seriously couldn't make food yourselves?" I asked a little annoyed. "Well- actually laa laa has been a little off recently and she won't tell me why...Can you talk to her?". Him changing the subject made me more annoyed. This is what I come back to huh? I walk up to laa laa maybe thinking she's hungry too. She looks up at me before a looking away. "Laa laa what's wrong? You look tired and- scared". She did look tired and that's never happened before and I've never really seen her look on edge- frightened almost.
"I had a nightmare where- this tall tubby was speaking to me and he showed us- all of us- we were all-" she couldn't finish her next word without breathing rapidly. "Laa laa relax you'll be ok" I grab her hands. Her breathing starts slowing down which makes me feel not as worried. "Nothing bad will happen to us..promise you" I smile a bit to shower her that things will be fine but she didn't smile back.
"Right Po..". I sigh and thought about the three of them being hungry. "How about I make some custard for you all? Does that sounds good?" I asked getting a response from of course, Tinky.
"I think that sounds good! Cmon laa laa" he said patting her back as she nods. I can tell Tinky is getting worried too.

Walking inside as the doors open I see dipsy sitting on the slide and looking at us. "Hey dipster! Still missing your hat?".
He nods. "Yeah it's still somewhere" he says sounding disappointed.
"Although I did have a weird dream where I saw another tubby in like a really dirty place.. he had white fur" he stated. "All of you guys are having some sort of crazy dreams huh?" I asked. He stared for a moment before looking at laa laa. Dipsy looked back at me a shrugged. "Random occurrence huh? It's whatever but I think you should make food for you guys" he said getting up and stretching. "You sure you don't want any? It's not a problem for me to make some yknow" I say while he stands there and thinks about it. "I was gonna have toast but I guess custard is fine" he replied. I nod and head to the custard machine and grab some bowls to put the food in. Clicking the button to pour out the custard it suddenly breaks down and smoke starts erupting out of it. Strange. Tinky walks up to me pointing out this never happened before.
"That's just weird...at least we do have a couple of tools!" He said and looked at the wall behind us with a toolbox filled with many things. I walk over to the toolbox grabbing it and go back to the machine to fix it to the best of my abilities.

It took some time to finish fixing it but hey it wasn't that bad. I put the toolbox aside pressing the custard our button and watch it pour. I sign in relief because being honest I didn't know what I was doing with the machine. "You fixed it! Thank you sister!" Tinky says to me while waiting for the custard. "Of course". Once the bowls were filled with custard I handed them out to my siblings. Looking at the last bowl I grab it and started to drink the custard. It tastes like medicine for some reason. Maybe it was me messing with the machine? I'm not sure but a few sips was all I needed. It left and funky taste in my mouth.

Laa laa's pov

Watching the sun set and the moon rise made me dread going to sleep. I don't want to dream again with that creature laughing at my face. I stare at my bed wanting to lay down but I mentally can't. "You alright?" I looked who asked and there was Tinky. He had a concerned look on his face. "I'm alright Tinky- just not tired is all" I replied a bit shaky. "Hey it was all a nightmare ok? Nothing bad will ever happen don't worry! Just try and get as much rest as you can..you look exhausted laa laa" he sounded concerned too. I can't help but look down at the floor feeling ashamed for some reason. "Alright Tinky.." I said still not looking at him in the eyes. "Maybe you can ask dip-" I stopped him mid sentence not wanting to listen to his idea. "I'm not gonna ask him for his sleeping pills..I'll sleep fine tonight I promise" I said trying to give a smile. He sighed and nodded before walking away. Maybe it is a good idea. I'll see.
