"Don't die before we get back." Tommy shot back, unable to bring himself to smile. He turned and started towards the store. "C'mon Tubbo."
Tubbo followed him, jogging slightly to catch up. "Man my legs feel fantastic."

"After all those hours in the car, man." Tubbo raised his eyebrows. "Do your legs not feel fantastic?"
"My legs feel like jelly." Tommy said, and despite it all he was grinning like the idiot that he was. "But hey, let's be fair. Maybe thats from the car trip and not the world ending."
