Four.


Four days till Friday.


Four days till Tommy's charity stream.


Four ninjas to unmask.


And four times had he stared at his phone to see if the messages he sent to Tubbo passed through.

Me, 18 seconds ago
[Are you mad at me?]
[I really wanted to do this with you Tubbo!]
[Promise!]
[I can make it up to you!]
[As soon as I come back!]
[I can fly to you]
[If you want ofc...]
...



A finger hovered over the sent button for another text ('I miss you') as he waited in anticipation for any sign, whether it may be another error or the message going through.


But every second felt like eternity and it was killing him.


Why was this taking so long!?


Tommy groaned loudly, sinking into the bean seat. "I just wanted to make sure my friend isn't mad at me, am I asking for too much!?"

"Apparently"

Tommy groaned again.


Why was the Universe against him?


He was working his ass off trying to be a good person and this is what he gets in return!?


"You could use this as an excuse though..."

"Huh?"

"You're stressed, been for some time now, starting to hate this city and now question whether or not your friends like you"

"Tech!" Tommy whined, covering his face to hide from the world. "You're not helping!"

"I'm just saying it's the perfect opportunity to track down Green. They said they were open for DMs, right? Now you don't have to make up problems to talk about and which I would definitely have to remind you of later so you don't get your story mixed up"
