Tommy scrolled through the laptop he'd set on the "dining room" table (really its just a round table with retractable legs you'd get at a party in the middle of the kitchen), he was scrolling through job applications as the previous place he worked at threw him out for having the lowest performance level (his old employer, Sam, did say he would recommend him to a few places though).
He'd been scrolling mindlessly for the past 13 minutes until he saw one that caught his attention.
"APPLY TO BE AN INTERN FOR THE SBI"
Tommy clicked on the site, it was legit to his surprise (as no anti-virus notification had popped up, yet). He looked at the page, eyes burning as the site had no dark mode. He felt his eyes water at the brightness and skimmed some words to save his eyes of the torture. "Chance to become a real hero all you have to do is prove yourself- auditions Wednesday 9 to 5, anyone that is late will be sent home." Tommy read aloud sloppily and seemingly caught his roomates attention "Toby, what should I do?".
Toby looked over at him, a lollipop was hanging out of his mouth (he was running an errand at the bank, he made note of a, 100% real, kid in the "car" they definitely had and got a free lollipop). "Uhm-" Toby took the lollipop out "I dunno, heros have the highest paying job- well besides President but we're too young" Tommy nodded and carelessly and sloppily added his email and phone number into the site so they could email or message him.
"Alright, signed up." Toby clapped in congrats as Tommy went to verify his email. "Alright, I got an email saying- "Can't wait to see you, I wish you luck on becoming a potential intern" huh, that's cool" Toby nodded and continued looking out the window from the couch. A slight breeze Tubbo's face from the windows small crack, it wasn't anything to worry about since it was there when they got the apartment, though it is a bitch in the winter because SnowChesters winter snows were quite harsh and it'd leave a wet spot at the bottom of the windowsill.
Tommy opened his phone, 1:02. Opening it he made way to the clock app and set an alarm, he titled it "get ready to become a hero bitch" then 5 similar alarms after so he could ensure he woke up. "Alright Tubster, I'm going to bed, night." Tubbo rushed to get up and ran into the room before him claiming his side of the bed.
Tommy plugged his phone in ignoring the low power charger notification it had given him, the charger had broken long ago but they couldn't afford a new one since most of the money they pay is bill money, food money, and mobile data to not waste their money on wifi because they'd agreed it'd be more useful to be able to text if they were stuck somewhere and needed help and outages were quite a pain.
He lied next to his best friend, their queen sized mattress lied carelessly on the floor. Tommy let a smile win over his face remembering when they'd move the bed across the room everyday to fuck with eachother. Lying on his back Tommy stared at the ceiling and let himself drift off to sleep.

Tommy heard a loud high-pitched alarm come from his phone as Tubbo shook him awake "Tommy wake up! Your stupid alarm woke me up how do you sleep through this!" Tommy slid his back up groggily and turned his phone alarm off. "Sorry boss man, got an interview I barely remember signing up for on a sketchy website." Tubbo sighed at his friends antics "Get ready man, we need you to get this job. Mine definitely won't pay enough" Tommy finally pulled himself out of bed and slid his way to find clothes.
He found the most fancy clothes he had and put them on. He canceled his other alarms while he was at it getting a few chuckles from the names he'd given them. When he finished he looked at the time, two hours until he had to go, he decided it'd be best if he was early because if he were fashionably late, as always, they'd send him back with no hesitation.

Tommy decided to walk to the interview. While it wasn't the best idea however he did get to see a few beautiful sites as he walked by. The Moodill pond had frozen over, the cows in the valley were all gathered together, in a huddle to keep eachother warm as the barn they'd sleep in was closed. He smiled and continued, the spring airs playing with his hair (though it felt more like winter as it always was in SnowChester) that he didn't remember if he did or didn't do.
As he made way out of Snowchester he checked the time "1 hour and 28 minutes until the review" thankfully though he knew a shortcut to get there faster.
It was running.
He began to speed his way through L'Manburg, the air making his hair sloppy making him remember he hadn't done it as an answer to his question before. Swearing to himself Tommy shrugged it off, he had a bunch of land to cover before he'd get to Pogtopia. Running along he began thinking to himself about how stupid the ad he'd clicked on was.
Besides, him a hero? Not at this rate, at this rate he'd be better a villain then hero, it'd earn him more. He didn't even know why he bothered anymore, Tubbo, he reminded himself, I'm doing this for Tubbo.
He and Tubbo had been close, together for a million years it seemed; though he knew it really hadn't been that long he liked to pretend that him and Toby had always been close, that they had been together through the different homes he had always been hopping from, that he and-
The light strumming of a guitar interrupted his thoughts and only now had he realized a tear had fallen down his cheek and his pace, for once, slowed down. "Hey kid, where 'ya off to?" Tommy looked down at the stranger who had begun their conversation, he wiped his face before suddenly speaking up realizing he had to answer. "Oh- Uhm a interview- I kinda signed up for it when I was tired" the man laughed "yeah I get it, go on then, don't let me make you late" looking down at the sitting Stanger he noticed the hat he had, a few cents in it.
He reached in his pocket looking for spare change and thankfully found a few coins and grabbed one and tossed it in. The man let out a soft chuckle "thanks man, you didn't have to" Tommy shook his head "Its fine- you seem like you needed it" Tommy smiled and continued his run to Pogtopia.

Tommy gasped for air as he stopped in front of the Skyscraper-esque building (it, of course, was more wide and less windows, more like those aflac office buildings). He looked at the time "Oh god-" He rushed in, a few minutes until it started "Hello!" A nice voice greeted as he entered "Hey, I'm here for the internship" The lady at the desk- he looked at her name tag, Niachu, as he now knew her. "Alright, can I get your ID?" Tommy reached in his pockets and found his wallet, grabbing his ID he handed it to her.
She scanned it and gave it back, the card had scanned his number, which was connectedto his email, which was connected to- it was a complicated system. "Alright! Floor 7 is where they hold your waiting room. I'll have Fran guide you, you aren't allergic to dogs right?" Tommy shook his head and "Fran" (or he hoped it was Fran) came over and Niachu gave her a small pet and told her floor 7 waiting room. Fran, surprisingly, seemed to understand, being motioned to follow the dog, Tommy began his way to floor 7.
The elevator ride was awkward, Fran had been able to press the button herself by jumping against the wall, but seeing as there was many scratches and paw prints where Fran had propped themself up, Tommy could tell it wasn't the first time. Finally after a few seconds the elevator dinged and Tommy saw the waiting room, Fran pushed him out a bit before closing the elevator.
"Oh! You're just on time, a few seconds before we begin, grab one!" Tommy panicked a bit hearing the hero's voice. Hurriedly he looked for what he had to grab but saw a lanyard with a number attatched to it and he grabbed it and put it on, the hero's attention then diverted away from him.
"Alright guys, you are all here to he an intern, though I have to say there is a lot of people here despite there being no paycheck" Tommy froze. His thoughts began to race
WHAT?!
WHAT DOES HE MEAN NO PAYCHECK?!
What. The. Fuck.
"what.." just a whisper in the room but Wilbur continued "Alright! I know the website was kind of cheeky and all but I'd like to take you guys one by one to interview you, kid who was almost late, I suggest you take a seat."
Quickly he took a seat as the interviews started, the room was full. Hastily grabbing his phone Tommy rushed to tell Tubbo. He hesitated, his finger hovered over his contact but he still typed out the message. The message was quick and sloppy but he still got his message across. Another message translating it was also in the comments but hell did Tommy know where that information came from.
"TUBBO HELP ITE AN UNPAUD INTWRNSHIP I NEED ADVIXE"
Shortly after he got a response
"What? I can't tell what you're saying lol"
"OH FUCK WAIT"
"THEIR HEROS WTF THWY CAN AFFORX AN INTERN F9R AS MUCH AS THEY CAN AFFORD WIPI.G THEIR ASS WITH MOENY"
"IDK WHAT DO I DO"
"IDK TOMMY I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR THIS"
"TUBBO PLRASE"
"WE NEED MONEY DUDE IDK"
"OKOK I GIT THSI I HAVE AN IDEA
"WGAT"
"WTFDYM??"
"ILL DO THE INTERVEIW AND DO ANOTHER JOB INTERVWIW OUTS9DEB OF MY TIEM TO BE IN HERE IF I GEY TI"
"WHAT?"
"NONE OF WHAT YOU DAID MADE SENSE"
"ITS FIEN ILL EXPALIMN IT WHEN I EGT HOEN GRR BACK FO WORK BITHX"
"FUCK YOY"
Tommy groaned as he closed his phone, he bounced his knee feeling anxious and bored at the same time. He felt a hand touch his leg to try and stop him and almost punched someone before he saw "Fran", as he now knew her, resting her head on his kneee to stop him. "Oh hello" Tommy said with a smile, he always made the same voice when talking to animals and Fran was not an exception. His knee kept trying to bounce by itself despite Tommy's wishes making Frans head go up and down, his leg hadn't slowed down and Fran just sat patiently.
