Tommy's POV
"The disks don't matter Tommy!" Tubbo screamed. "How can you not see that? They don't matter..."  I felt as though my pride was being torn down with every work my bee loving best friend yelled. Surely he didn't mean it... right?
"Why, what?..." I asked, he has to be kidding.
"If the roles were reversed as you said... yeah, yeah you probably wouldn't exile me... Because I would've actually listened to you and done what you said! And maybe had a couple ounces of respect! You messed this up for no one but yourself." He lectured, showing no sign of being sorry, no sign of regret or hesitance. 

"This can't be where we split now..  you can't, it's always been me and you man you can't... come on, please. The only thing he wants is the one thing I care about." I begged. 
"The one thing you care about..." He repeated. I wasn't sure why he repeated it but he did. 

I jumped to Ghostbur shaking me awake. I looked at him confused as to why he woke me up. 
Is Dream here or something..

"Tommy? Why are you crying? Here have some blue!" He said as he gave me some of his blue. I was crying? Huh, that hasn't happened in a while. I took the blue and wiped my tears.
"Just had a bad dream, uh, but why'd you wake me up so early?" I asked.

"Oh! Right!" He said in his usual happy tone as he threw me a new disc which I caught and slightly smiled at, "Happy 18th birthday!" 
"Thanks Ghostbur.." I walked over to the jukebox and put the disc inside, it played a nice calming song. 
"So Tommy, do you want to go to L'manburg?" He asked carefully. 
"I'll be killed, remember?" I said blankly.
"No Tommy! You're exile was until you turned 18! You can go back now and see Tubbo, Niki, Quackity, and all them!" He exclaimed happily. 
"I mean.. we can, I don't think any of them would be happy to see me again though. If anything they'd be more happy to see you." 
"Tommy, I don't think I've told you this but the last time I went there, Tubbo said he really missed you! Let's at least try, you don't have to stay if you don't want to but I think things could go back to normal if we tried!" The ghost said happily. His happy spirit made me give in.
"Fine, we can go." I said, I was slightly excited I must say! I haven't been there in 2 years now and it's been rough. Most of my emotions aren't even fully here anymore. Hopefully this works out.

Once we got to the entrance of L'manburg I started getting nervous. 
Someone's going to try to attack me.. They don't want me back.. Some of them probably forgot me... They wont remember it's my birthday.. Why am I letting Ghostbur bring me back??
"Tommy look!" he whisper yelled. "It's Quackity and Fundy! You should go say hi to them." 
"What? No, you have to come with me!" I whisper yelled back.
"I can't, Fundy.. he doesn't want to see me." Ghostbur said sadly.
"Please, you have to.."
He sighed, giving in. Then he started walking over to them as I followed.

I cleared my throat once we were a little bit behind them on the path. They both stopped waking and turned around. Shock spread over their faces as they saw me. I shifted on my feet nervously as I waited for one of them to say something.
"T-Tommy??" Fundy questioned. I just nodded.
"Tommy- you're back? But- I thought Dream would kill you?" Quackity said.
I slightly flinched at the name of Dream but answered Quackity anyways. "Well, the exile was until I was 18 if you remember. And well, today's the day I turn 18 so it's over." I explained numbly while looking up at the two.
"You- first, happy birthday! But uhm, you don't seem very excited to be back." Fundy said, Quackity nodded, agreeing with him.
"I'm going to go try to find Tubbo okay?" Ghostbur whispered to me. I nodded in response and he left.
"Dream practically tortured my emotions out of me..." I mumbled as they gasped. I felt Fundy give me a hug and flinched at the sudden gesture but slowly hugged back. It had been a while since I've had any kind physical touch considering Wilbur is a ghost. 
"Thanks Fundy..." I said pulling away.
"Of course. So are you going to be staying here now?" He asked.
"I may, I haven't decided yet. How are things going here? It looks nice." 
"It's been going good! Tubbo has been a lot nicer over the couple years you were gone, he misses you a lot. Would you like a tour?" Quackity said.
"Sure!" I said with a hint of excitement in my voice. 

Tubbo's POV
I was just sitting in the field looking at the sky. I wondered if Tommy was on his way back, it was his 18th birthday after all. He could come back! Though part of me didn't think he would want to. I looked at the compass Ghostbur had given me 2 years ago, it was moving and showed he was somewhere to my left. I rarely put it down when I'm out.

"Tubbo?" I heard a familiar scratchy, happy but close to tears, voice say from behind me. 
I turned around and saw Ghostbur standing there. He looked excited, nervous and happy all at once. I stood up to face him. "Hey Ghostbur! What brings you here? It's been a while!" I exclaimed happily.
"Hey! I'm actually here because of Tommy. I don't know if you remembered or not but today's-"
"Tommy's 18th birthday! Is he here?! Oh my god, I've been wondering all week if he'd actually come back!" I cut him off. He let out a relieved sigh and smiled.
"He is! I left him with Quackity and Fundy, I don't know where exactly they are." He laughed.

"And over here is the field!" I heard Quackity yell.
"Quackity I know where the field is, this isn't my first ever time here." I heard a voice that resembled Tommy's said as Fundy laughed. 
"Is that Tommy??" I asked Ghostbur who nodded. I ran straight to the stairs leading to the path. Ghostbur took off after me.
Once we got on the path I saw Fundy, Quackity, and... "Tommy..." I said under my breath. 
"Hey guys!" Ghostbur yelled to them as they all turned around. My eyes met Tommy's eyes as Fundy and Quackity moved to the side to let us have a moment. 
Tommy's eyes showed happiness, sadness, fear, regret, and brokenness. 
"Tubbo...?" He asked. 
"Tommy..." I said.
Tommy's eyes flickered to Ghostbur behind me, then to the ground, then back to me. 
"Tommy.. I missed you so much.." I said, looking down at the compass for a second.
He looked at the compass and his eyes showed only happiness and relief as he ran at me and tackled me into a hug.
"I'm so sorry Tommy, I should never have exiled you!" I said, returning his hug as we slowly sank to the ground. At this point the others had left us to reunite. Tommy didn't respond he just hugged me tighter.
"I missed you so much..." He whispered.
I looked at the compass in my hand and finally put it away. 
"I was so worried you wouldn't come back today..." I said as we pulled away, still resting our hands on each other's shoulders. 
"Then thank Ghostbur, I wasn't going to come back, he made me.. But I'm happy- happy.. yeah. I'm happy he did." He told me, sounding confused when he said 'happy' but I passed it off. I understood he couldn't understand his emotions now.
"Let's go to the bench." I said as I helped him up.

We then started walking to our spot. The only spot that hadn't been modified, destroyed, moved or touched since he left. I put the Mellohi disc in the jukebox as we sat down together for the first time in two whole years and watched the sun set. Together again and together forever.
