Loud music blares out of the TV speakers, bright neon lights flashing as Tommy and Tubbo half-sing, half-yell the lyrics to 'Blitz Survival Games', the original singer of which is sitting on the couch, shaking his head in disappointment. "This is not what I intended to create when I decided to make a Minecraft parody song-"
"THAT WAS MY LAST MOVE-"
"Help me Phil-"
"AND I LEAVE THE ELITE TEAM-"
"You're on your own here, mate-"
"PEOPLE ASK ME WHY BUT-"
"Actually, y'know what? Ranboo, pass me the remote. I'm gonna turn it down-"
"I MUST FOLLOW MY DREAMS-"
"I GUESS THAT MARKS THE END OF-
"Holy fuck, why was it on 95% volume?"
"MY WHOLE NINE MONTH REGIME- why did you turn it down, Phil..."
"Tommy, we weren't gonna have any eardrums left if I hadn't, you chaotic shit-"
The backing track finishes and Wilbur asks, "What's a song that everyone but Tommy knows?"
"What the fuck, Wilbur..."
Quietly, Ranboo suggests, "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate-"
"Ooh, wait. You guys know Queen, right?" Phil asks and Tommy gasps dramatically.
"I know the Queen! She's single now! My beloved!"
Wilbur and Phil laugh loudly in surprise. "No- no, Queen the band... Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor? Not ringing a bell?"
The teen stared blankly at the brown-haired man. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Wilbur claps his hands, beaming. "Right, then. It's settled, we're doing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen."
A chorus of assent sounds from everyone except Tommy, who complains right up until the first chords of the song play and recognition sparks in his eyes. "Oh I know this!"
Wilbur groans as the boy jumps up from the sofa and starts singing along. "I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,"
---
"Any way the wind blows..."
"Wooshhhhhh..."
The group claps tiredly, satisfied grins on their faces.
"Welp." Ranboo claps his hands together with a sense of finality. "I am exhausted, Tubbo, Tommy, do you-"
"PEOPLE CHANGE LIKE THE TIDES IN THE OCEAN, AT LEAST I THINK OR- I'm like Dream, come on, we're gonna sing Roadtrip and I'm gonna send a video to Dream."
Sighing, Wilbur heaves Techno up from where he had previously flopped on the sofa. "Three, two, one- NOW THAT INTERSTATE IS PAVED WITH MEMORIES, OF A PAST LIFE I LIVED WHEN I WAS EIGHTEEN-"
Deadinnit
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT US SINGING YOUR SONG, DREAM
PRETTY POGGERS?GREEN BITCH

Not you thoDeadinnit
YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS I SANG IT BETTER THAN YOU DID DREAM
I SHOULD COLLAB WITH PMBATA NOT YOUDream laughs softly before tossing a 'sure' to Tommy and throwing his phone on his bed. He flops on his back. Tommy seems to be in high spirits, but he could be putting on an act. He had, after all, been putting the 'okay' act on for 3 years.
