"LISTEN UP FOLKS war is over, brand new sheriffs come to town" Tommy hummed to himself, writing it down in his journal as he sits in the fields close to L'Manburg

"We are done with acting evil, we will lay our weapons down" He continued to hum, the song reminded him of the War of Idependance, something they have finally won, in a way, and he wanted to write it down for future reference.

"We're all broken, we're all damaged, we're all freaks but that's alright." He continued, "Let us be 17"

"If we've still got the right" He hums to himself as he walks towards Technos home, Wilbur by his side "Why do you continue to sing that stupid song?" Wilbur questions in annoyance

Tommy shrugs, "It reminds me of the good times, how we laid our lives down to protect the place we loved" He says softly, Wilbur scoffs "I never cared about L'Manburg, Tommy. It was always a means to an end." He says, but before Tommy could respond, 3 figures came running towards them

"Tommy!" Ranboo yells in almost tears as he wraps the boy in a tight hug "Ranboob" Tommy says with a soft smile as he hugs the taller one back "It's.. been a minute." He adds on softly

"...Wil?" Philza says in disbelief as he looks at the son he had to kill "Hope you don't mind, I.. brought a friend with me." Tommy says as he pulls away from the hug, with an awkward laugh

"A friend? Cmon Toms, we're brothers, remember?" Wilbur says, a sickening grin on his face, the blonde smiles brightly at this "Yeh!" He says, happiness clear in his tone

"I missed you, mate." Phil says as he brings his son into a tight hug, while Techno tries to comprehend what's going on "Right, so Tommy, who practically killed himself comes back and no ones even the slightest bit confused??" The blood god questions

Tommy purses his lips "Well, I had a plan, and.. I knew if I told you guys, you wouldn't let me go through with it." He explains quickly

"Damn fucking right, you had us fucked up." Phil complains lightheartedly "Sorry dad" Tommy says sheepishly as he's pulled into a hug, squished in beside Wil

"The plan was.. to bring back your manipulative older brother?" Ranboo questions, causing Wil to push away from the hug in offence "Who are you calling manipulative?" He questions in anger

"Hey hey, big man, he didn't mean it, he doesn't know you, only what others have said" Tommy says quickly, putting his hand on Wils shoulder

"Have you been saying I was manipulative, Toms? I thought we were brothers!" Wilbur says, clearly faking offense to the others, but not to Tommy "No no no, not at all! I would never!" He quickly says, defending himself as Wilbur smiles sweetly at him

"Good, I'm glad, us brothers have to stick together." He says

tommy was a lot easier to manipulate than he thought.

"I don't wanna do this, Tubs." Tommy said in a quiet voice, "I'm scared. What if I fail? everyone will leave."  He admitted quietly, as they walked towards his and Dreams duel place "I know, but I believe in you." Tubbo reassured with a genuine smile

"You're like a brother to me, Tommy, I'll always be here for you, after all us brothers gotta stick together"

Tommy gives him a small smile "Yeh, yeh we do" He says in a small voice, before saying

"can we head inside? it's fucking freezing out here."
