"If you don't stop, I'm gonna start stabbing sh!t." // A DSMP Fanfiction

Chapter 166

    Tommy stopped and felt something prick his eyes so he quickly wiped his eyes. He stood there as Clementine's words repeated in his head. He smiled at the thought of Clementine valuing their time together but it soon turned into a grin.

    "Aww, since when did you become so sentimental?" Tommy teased, and Clementine scoffed. "Seriously, Tommy?" They said but Tommy could hear the smile in their voice. Tommy continued walking and finally arrived at Niki and Bad's Cafe. He grinned and opened the door.

    "Guess who's back~," Tommy said in a sing-song voice and stretched the "a" as he spun into the cafe. There were only two customers right now, one was Puffy and the other customer was standing at the counter with his back turned towards Tommy. They were wearing a hoodie and had their hood up. Tommy smiled and waved at Puffy, who returned the smile and wave. Tommy guessed Puffy was in a good mood because the air around her radiated warmth, kind of like the warmth you feel on a sunny day.

    "Let me guess, a trouble-making child." Niki's voice teased from the back. "Correction, a trouble-making adult," Tommy said. Niki walked out from the back while rolling her eyes. "Please. A trouble-making adult? Adults are sensible and don't make trouble." Niki said as she dusted some flour off her hands. Tommy returned the eye roll. "With all the drama happening? And the criminals? Yeah, I don't think so." Tommy said. Niki just shook her head and groaned.

    "Anyways, why are you here, Tommy? Need something?" She asked with a smile. Tommy nodded. "Yup. Two things, actually." Tommy said as he walked up to the counter. She nodded. "Okay, do you need to speak in private or are you fine with talking over the counter?" She asked, and Tommy shrugged.

    "No, not really. It's fine if we talk over the counter it's something normal." He said and she nodded. "Okay then, what is it?" Niki asked. "Well, you know the festival coming up, right?" Tommy asked. Niki just stared at him.

    "Tommy, who doesn't know about the festival." She said with an eye roll. "Okay, well the heroes are planning it, and the baker cancelled last minute or they can't find a baker, I forgot the details," Tommy said, and she nodded. "Go on." She said.

    "Well, Phantom asked me today to see if you and Bad could make some pastries and stuff for the festival instead. Like cakes and muffins, stuff like that." Tommy said and Niki's eyes widened. "Wait, what?!" She said in shock as she placed her hands on the counter and leaned forward. "Are you serious?!" She asked. Tommy nodded. "Yup." He said. Niki stepped back and fidgeted with her hands.

    "That's a lot of people... Everyone in L'Manburg... Heck, not just everyone in L'Manburg, most of the population in Dream SMP!" Niki said, and Tommy thought he could hear a bit of nervousness in her voice.

    "I could take tomorrow off and help? Or I could get everyone to try and help?" Tommy suggested, and Niki paused. She thought for a while and then she shrugged. "You know what, I haven't had a challenge in a long time. I'll do it! And I know for sure Bad will too." Niki said with a small fire burning in her eyes. The fire in her eyes blazed so brightly that it was probably enough to burn a tree down. Tommy was shocked for a bit but then he smiled. "So one thing down, one more left," Tommy said and she nodded. "Sure, what is it?" She asked.

    "Well, I got a call from Ranboo this morning, and you won't believe it," Tommy said excitedly. She raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" She asked. "Tubbo walked! By himself, and he walked into the kitchen without falling!" Tommy said excitedly and Niki's eyes widened as she clapped a hand to her mouth.

    "Oh my god, that's amazing! I'm coming by after I'm done with work!" She said with the same excitement. "Ranboo was asking if I could get a cake from you to celebrate," Tommy said happily, and Niki nodded. "I'm going to work on it right away," Niki said seriously, but then her expression melted into happiness again.

    "How about you go wait at a table, and I'll make a cake and we'll both set off together?" Niki suggested. Tommy smiled and nodded. "Perfect, thanks!" Tommy said and he went to go sit at a table. He sat down and watched as Niki went to the back to get started on the cake. He grinned as he started to let his mind wander.

Mission accomplished.
