"No"

"I haven't seen Ranboo for a while"

"Um no. I haven't seen Tommy for a while either"

"No, but I hope you find him!"

Everyone had said no, expect for George. He yelled at Karl because he stole his sword that Dream could've easily replaced. Maybe he's just building something, and no one has noticed yet. Maybe he's visiting some friends. Maybe he's with Tommy.

~+...AT THE ISLAND...+~

"Here, take this"

"Thanks Ghostbur"

Ranboo replied. Will handed Ranboo a speed potion he brewed recently in his new brewing stand he crafted.

"Why can't I have one?" Tommy whined, jealous. "Tommy you can't have one because you wouldn't be able to handle it-" the enderman sighed.

"No no. Tommy it's just that you're already too speedy. Like- like a, hmm, a cheetah!"

Wilbur lied, knowing how to talk to Tommy after years of dealing with him. His arms were in the air, trying to make his words more excited.

"Y'know what? You're right! I am speedy!" Tommy smiled. "I'M SPEEDY BITCH".

Ranboo bent over as Tommy ran around them. He eventually slowed down and they all headed to the shore. Tommy played tic-tac-toe with the ghost. While Ranboo looked out upon the miles of water surrounding them. As time passed by, Tommy rolled the cuffs up on his jeans and dipped his feet into the salty ocean water. "Oh shi- that's fucking cold!" Tommy yelped with a voice crack. "BAHAHA" Wilbur laughed, in his iconic slightly high pitched giggle.

"Why don't you guys join?" the young boy says as he slowly gets comfortable with the temperature. "It'll sting if I do." Ranboo mentioned, awkwardly, "cause I'm part enderman", he added.

"I'd melt," Ghostbur spat out.

"Party poopers" Tommy huffed in frustration.

Ranboo gave Tomathy an apologetic smile, and Wilbur did too, following the enderman's actions. "Let's go back to the Rabbit hole".

Rabbit Hole was a nickname Tommy gave to the hole they lived in.

"Sounds good," Ranboo said, replying to Wilbur. The three musketeers picked up their belongings, and headed back.

"Give that back!" Tommy yelled.

Ghostbur had taken his carrot while he wasn't paying attention and Tommy was confronting him.

"Meanie" he whispered sadly. Ranboo was passed out in-between them, lightly snoring. The boys shut their talkative mouths, not to wake him up. After an hour or so, they were all asleep.

During the night the worst possible thing occurred from the mist. Dream. He was in a boat by himself, paddling towards the island where Tommy was located. He huffed in anger as his boots crunched on the damp sand as he stepped out. Dream looked to his left and right, and saw an imprint of a tic-tac-toe grid.

A few circles in the corners and two 'X' marks in the middle and on the left side. As well as a line connecting three of the circles, ending the game.

'How fucking dumb of him' he thought to himself, 'he wouldn't be able to play tic-tac-toe by himself. Unless he was that bored, but I doubt it. It's only been two or three days.

He trotted along the sand that faded into grass and weeds. 'Footprints' he thought, 'multiple footprints...that dumbass'. He looked up and saw a tent. Just a hole leading down to three boys. Dream smiled in anger. He jumped down, startling the ghost awake. "Tommy shut up-" he mumbled, his face towards the hay he was laying on. Dream raised his eyebrows, surprised by the voice. He looked to the two other bodies near him. Tommy, and of course Ranboo.
