As Tommy woke up the next day, he saw that Tubbo was gone. “Tubbo..?” he muttered. “Tubbo?” he said louder. “Tubbo!” he yelled, panicking. Tommy ran outside, yelling for Tubbo. He ran through the surrounding woods, careful to not trip on any of the alarms he set up. Tubbo wasn’t in the woods. He went to a nearby cave, “Tubbo?!” he yelled down it. No answer. He just ran around the area, looking for anywhere Tubbo could be. Soon, he heard the sloshing and crashing of water and ran towards it.

As he got closer to the river he saw what looked like a person. “Tubbo?!” Tommy yelled. The figure whipped it’s head around and Tommy saw Tubbo’s smiling face. “Tommy! Hey!” he said as he waved at him. “Tubbo what are you doing out here? I didn’t know where you were! Come on let’s go back to the house,” Tommy said, starting to turn back. “What? No, Tommy, why? I like it here!” Tubbo said, confused. ‘We need to go back to the house, it’s safe there. Here, you can’t hear anyone coming up. We need to go back,” Tommy said. Tubbo looked up at him. He could see a hint of fear in his eyes. “T-Tommy, you’re acting like Wilbur,” Tubbo said, backing up a little bit.

“Wh-what? Nonono, Tubbo I’m trying to keep yo-,” He stopped. He was acting like Wilbur. The second he realised that Tubbo was gone, he ran for hours trying to find him. And when he did find him, he started saying the same things that Wilbur would say to Tommy. WIlbur’s words echoed in his head. What if we’re the bad guys? “Tubbo, I-” Tommy was cut off “It’s ok Tommy. I know that you didn’t mean it. I really should’ve left a note or something before I left,” Tubbo said. They both walked back to the house together in silence.

“What if Dad comes back. I mean, we’ll be here and he’ll probably wanna see us, right?” Tommy said to Tubbo. He was kinda scared of Phil returning from his trip. He knew that he would easily be able to find them, no matter how many alarms and such they set up. “Well then, I-I guess we would have to go back once he found us,” Once. Tubbo knew that he would find them, too. “Maybe he’ll come back once it’s safe. Then, it’ll be ok if we go back,” They both smiled at the thought of going back. As they went into the house, they cleaned it up a little bit.

“Hey Tommy, could you go grab my bag? It’s by my bed," Tubbo asked Tommy. He went over and grabbed the bag for him. Tubbo opened it up and grabbed a bag of sugar and a bit of flour. Tommy watched in confusion as he went outside and came back a few minutes later with some milk and an egg. “Wanna help me make a cake?” Tubbo asked Tommy. “Yes!” Tommy said as they both smiled. They spent the next hour trying to make a cake and joking around. They ended with what would barely qualify as a cake and a giant mess everywhere.

Wilbur's POV
Wilbur had been sitting here, in a cold, stone room with a button on the wall. Scribbled on the wall, the lyrics to L’Manberg’s national anthem. He didn’t know how long he had been sitting here. It only felt like it was a few minutes. It had been five and a half hours. Soon, he heard footsteps from the hall. He jolted up.

“Hello? Wilbur are you in here?” He heard Techno ask him. Wilbur calmed down. “Yeah, I’m in here. I’m ok,” Wilbur paused “What are you doing here, Techno?” Wilbur saw Techno in the doorway. “I could ask you the same thing. What is this?” He asked. “Nothing. Now what are you doing here?” Wilbur asked Techno. He leaned against the doorway “I was about to leave,” Wilbur panicked. He’s leaving you like Tommy did.

“W-Why? Where are you going?” He said. It was clear that he was panicked. “Don’t worry, I’m not lying like Tommy did. Actually, I’m going to find the kid,” Techno paused “I’m worried. I mean, Tommy and Tubbo, alone, together? I’m not sure how long that’s gonna work out.” Techno said. “Just, Just be back as soon as you can,”

Wilbur paused, thinking about whether he should tell Techno or not. “Y-you don’t have to go,” Wilbur said, in a different voice. It was his voice, not this insane man’s, but Wilbur’s. ‘What do you mean?” Techno said. “I-I, Dads on his way,” he said. His voice got quieter as he continued talking. Techno stood up straight, shocked. “D-dad?! H-how? I thought that he-” Wilbur cut him off “He left instructions for what to do if there was an emergency and well Tommy’s fucking gone so I’d say that this is an emergancy!” Wilbur yelled at him. “Wilbur, I- you didn’t need to yell, I’m not angry. I’m just confused," He said.

Techno changed the subject “Did Tommy happen to say why he left?” “He said that it’s not safe here and that he needs to keep Tubbo safe.” Wilbur told him with an angry look on his face. “After EVERYTHING that I do for him, he goes and runs away because of his STUPID friend!” Wilbur yelled. He slumped down the wall. “And now Dads gonna see that I messed it up,” Wilbur said.

“Wilbur, hey, i-it’s ok,” Techno went and sat down next to Wilbur. He cried for the first time in a while. “I-I promised D-Dad t-that I would p-protect Tommy,” WIlbur said to Techno “Listen, he'll understand that there was no way for you to stop it, ok? It’s ok,” Techno said to him. He got up and started heading out the door “I’m going to go find Tommy. I’ll be back,” Techno said before leaving.

What is wrong with you, Wilbur? “No..” Wilbur muttered to himself. He was him again but it came back. You know that he won’t understand, He’s going to stop our plans! We can’t let him do that! “You’re right,” Wilbur said as he wiped his tears and left out the door. He was back.

Tommy's POV
Him and Tubbo had sat around, joking and eating the cake that they made. They both had ingredients to the cake in their hair and all over their clothes and face but they didn’t care. So far, living here with Tubbo, was great to Tommy.

They were both laughing when they heard ding! A bell. One of the alarms was sounded. They both went quiet. Then again, ding! The second alarm. That ment that it most likely wasn’t an animal. “Tubbo come on,” Tommy whispered and they ran out of the house. It was dark out, near 11pm, but they couldn’t risk having lights. Tommy grabbed a bag of emergency supplies and they ran for the cave. “Tubbo, go towards the back of the cave, here's a lighter,” he said as he handed him the lighter. Tommy continued, “I’ll stay up here in case anything comes,” he said. He hid behind some of the rock, looking towards the back of the cave where Tubbo was in complete darkness.

He heard the crunch of the leaves and grabbed his sword. They had been hiding there for around two hours now. It took everything in Tommy to keep his eyes open. Soon, the crunching of the leaves got louder and he could see a dim light. A torch. This was really a person. Tommy held onto his sword as a dark figure walked over to the cave. As they stepped through onto the rock, the click of their shoes echoed through the cave. Tommy’s heart was beating out of his chest. As the person got closer and closer, his heart got faster.

Then, they stopped. Tommy relaxed his shoulders and turned to look. The figure was three feet max from him and looking around. Tommy quickly whipped back around the corner. Shit Shit Shit. Ok calm down it’s ok, maybe they’ll leave. Then, the footsteps started again and they were getting closer. Tommy started shaking. What was he gonna do, fight them? He was terrible at fighting. Before he could think of what to do, they stopped again. And again, Tommy looked to see where they were. Tommy screamed as he turned and the figure was a foot away from his face and he dropped his sword. The figure flinched. As Tommy got a better look at them, he realised something. “Techno?!”
