Quinn knew it was in her best interest to pretend like she hadn't still thought about Clay in passing. But still there were nights when she couldn't sleep unless she heard his voice, and this drove her crazy.

So when Wilbur messaged her on discord asking if she wanted to stream Origins SMP for a bit, Quinn accepted, knowing that it would keep her from thinking about Clay. Plus, Quinn wanted to start streaming in groups again, all she was doing right now was doing challenges with Ellie, which were super fun and all, but she wanted to provide a variety of content for her followers.

"Hey guys! Welcome back to the stream! I'm so glad you're here!" Quinn said, as she switched from her starting soon to her full face cam, "I have missed playing Minecraft so much and I'm so glad to get back into it."

She watched as people in chat were asking questions about Clay and Nick and George, and Quinn had to do her best to not let it affect her. Did she miss her boys? Yes. 

But it wasn't like she could just show up at the front door and ask to move back in. Heart break aside, she missed being around them all the time.

Quinn pushed this aside as she heard the sound of Wilbur joining the vc. Or at least that's what she thought, until she heard the voice of a loud British child yelling in her ears.

"Ayeeeeeeeee, it is me, Wilbur!" Tommy always knew how to have a good time, and she was hoping that he was planning on playing with them on the server.

"Hi, Tommy," Quinn greeted cheerfully.

"What? It's not me! I mean, it's not Tommy, it's Wilbur!" Tommy dropped his voice down the octave, pretending to be the older man. Which is precisely the moment that Wilbur joined the VC.

"Stop pretending to be me, you little shit," For Wilbur, calling Tommy little shit was a term of endearment.

"Wilbur!" Quinn smiled brightly, greeting him.

"Quinnivere, how are you?" Wilbur had started to call Quinn, Quinnivere, like Gwenivere, because there was one time that her and Wilbur talked about Merlin for four hours straight. The nickname stuck around. 

"I'm alright, I've been super busy, but I'm feeling pretty good lately," Quinn answered as she loaded up Minecraft, feeling herself get excited. She then listened as Tommy and Wilbur bickered, just listening to their quarrel.

"Wilbur, I will kick you in the head," Tommy's threat was empty, but it was still funny to hear.

"Oh really? You think you can get your leg above your waist?" Wilbur taunted, egging him on.

"Yeah, and my foot will hit your fucking skull," Tommy retorted, before releasing a loud scream, "Wilburrrrr there's a strange man in my house."

"Tommy, that's literally Ranboo, will you stop acting like you don't know he's here?" Wilbur said and Quinn watched as he sent a message in chat, Ranboo, vc?

It was only moments before Quinn heard the sound of discord chiming, signaling Ranboo's entrance. Tommy greeted him first.

"AYYYYE Bitch!" He said in his usual Tommy style, and Quinn couldn't help but laugh, "What's so funny?" Tommy said accusingly.

"Ayeeee Bitch," Quinn mocked the young British boy, "Tommy, that's what you sound like."

Everyone, including Tommy, broke into laughter, and Quinn felt herself relax. In every stream, there was a moment that she knew it was going to be a good stream, and as Wilbur and Tommy started a steady conversation, that Ranboo and Quinn would give input, Quinn knew it was going to be a good stream.

She decided that she was going to work on upgrading her house, seeing as she was starting to get bored of the current design of her house. 

Her origin was the feline, so she never took fall damage, and could scare away creepers, but she had one less heart than normal, and her hunger depleted faster. It wasn't too extreme but it was helpful when she was in the mountains trying to get down from heights.

Quinn and Ranboo traveled to a birch forest, where Quinn began to collect some wood, not for her house, just to have as extra. Tommy and Wilbur were in a cave somewhere and Wilbur was using his phantom state to his advantage.

The group eventually regrouped, Tommy and Wilbur were showing off their shiny new armour, and Quinn couldn't help but tease them, it was the best form of funny she could produce. She watched as the chat enjoyed the stream, and one comment caught her eye that made her slightly sad, but in the good way. 

I missed this version of Quinn, we haven't seen her in a while.

After two hours of playing on the Origins SMP, Quinn said her goodbyes to the boys, promising to send Ranboo her viewers after she ended the stream. 

Quinn read out some of the donations she missed when she was playing and started to ask chat who they wanted to see in an among us stream. Quinn told her chat to tweet a bunch of people at her, and she would ask around.

Once she was about to say goodbye to her viewers, she remembered something else that she promised them.

"I know, a lot of you have been wondering what's been going on and I promise I'm gonna answer all your questions, it's all just still very overwhelming for me. But I appreciate your guy's support and your patience through all of this, I know my content has been kind of spotty lately, but I'm working on getting back on schedule. And you guys will have most of your questions answered soon. You all are so wonderful," Quinn knew that her followers deserved to know why she hasn't tweeted at Clay like she used to, and why she hasn't mentioned him in nearly two months, and why she has been living with Ellie again. She knew they must've been so confused.

With her final remarks she ended the stream, sending her viewers over to Ranboo, who was playing a two-player game with Tubbo. As Quinn was about to leave her desk, her discord pinged with a message from Wilbur.

How are you?

Quinn responded honestly.

Some days are better than others. Today was a lot of fun, but just knowing that my chat misses having the boys around, makes me miss them too.

Well I know that my chat loved seeing you hang out, you should stream with us more often : ) you get used to Tommy, I promise.

Maybe I will. Thanks Wil :]

Hey of course, and if you need anything, i'm your guy.

: )

Wilbur was nice. Quinn appreciated his friendship, so much more now that she was able to talk to him more. Even being around Ranboo and Tommy, it was so different now that she wasn't also surrounded by her boys, that she felt like she enjoyed it more now. There were definitely some benefits about not being in the house anymore.

Quinn's phone buzzed on the desk, and when she picked it up, she smiled to herself. It was a tweet from Nick, he had tagged her in it.

I miss you dummy. Come home. @ItsQuinn

Because then there were moments like this, and Quinn wanted to desperately go home.
