Tommy stood atop a cliff in the nether. Wow, isn't the lava pretty? He thought to himself. He looks straight down at the glowing red and orange liquid. Then he hears a shout.
”Tommy? What are you doing?” Tubbo asked with concern and his voice laced with confusion.
Tommy turned and looked at Tubbo and he spread his wings as a maniac grin spread across his face ”ah! Tubbo the man of the hour!”
“What do you mean tommy? And please step away from the edge of the cliff.” Saying the last part as a command of sorts, like he had all the power.
Tommy scoffed at him. “It sounds like you think you have all the power when really you don’t. And this is partially your fault anyways” Tommy took a step closer to the edge as he said this.
”What do you mean?” Tubbo looked at him with pure confusion.
“Oh haven’t you realized..? All the messages”

“All the times I ran into you for you to just walk away each time or you just flat out ignore me”

“Oh hey Tubbo!”
“Hi Tommy, ooo what’s that!”
—————
“Tubbs! How are ya”
“ Come on Niki, let's go over here!”

“Oh hey Tommy!”
“Hi Tubbo ho-“
“Oh ranboo let’s go check on Michael!”
______________
“And when you did talk to me it wasn’t even because you wanted to talk to me!”
“Hey tommy ranboo told me to ask you if you had any oak planks or logs?”
“No sorry Tubbo I don’t. But would you like to come get some with me!”
“No, bye tommy!”

It all came to Tubbo like a flash flood, devastating, scary, and most of all unexpected. “Wait tommy I didn’t mean to!” He reached out his hand as a foolish attempt to grab tommy. Tommy simply flew up a few blocks out of his reach.
“Oh Tubbo, sweet little Tubbo. The one everyone loves!” Tommy was speaking in a voice that almost sounded like Wilbur when he went insane with a sickeningly sweet tone.
“Tommy…? You’re scaring me..”
“oH? I’m scaring you? Tell that to exiled Tommy when Dream visited and tried to cut off his wings!”
“Dream tried to do what!? But why would he..”
Tommy let out a maniacal laughter. “Tubbo, Tubbo, Tubbo you never fucking learn that PEOPLE. AREN'T. ALWAYS. SAINTS.”
All Tubbo did was look absolutely baffled and speechless.
“Not to mention everyone else!” Tommy paused “Jack? Took my hotel. Dream? Killed me and revived me. Sam? didn’t even try and save me. And I could keep going on and on Tubbo but that’s no good if I want to end it, actually I’ve wasted lots of time explaining all this to you so..”
“Then where was I? Oh yes! Adiós my old friend Tommy hovered over the lava staring down at it like it was his savior.
Almost as if to emphasize his point he pulled out his compass “my Tubbo'' oh how foolish he had been I mimicked him by pulling out my compass “my tommy’’each of them pointed towards one another.
He moved backwards, and stopped flapping his wings.
“αντιο σας, και λυπάμαι”
