Chapter Text

When Puffy told her kids, Ranboo, Tubbo, Dream, Tommy, Drista and Fundy that we were moving to The continent Dsmp into the country of L'manburg she was not expecting Tommy to pump his fist, Tubbo to give Ranboo 20$ Fundy to swear at Dream in Dutch for nearly crushing him in the blonde's dispair. "Why not Kinoko kingdom???" Dream complained. "Stop being a pissbaby." Fundy says. Dream slowly turned to his red headed brother, "OH FUNDY!!" Fundy screeched and ran out. "Why-" Tommy said facepalming. "I'll just go pack, C'mon boob-boy-" Tommy said grabbing the split haired boys sleeve. Despite being twins with Tubbo he and Ranboo got along better. Mostly because Ranboo wasn't a complete psychopath. If Tommy knew one thing. This school year was going to be so damn chaotic- and he was fully ready.

On the plane.

He was so fully ready to be on the plane. Until he found out he was stuck between Dream and Fundy who were still arguing. "Oh my god..." Ranboo shot him a sympathetic smile before sitting next to Tubbo and Puffy. On the upside he was next to Drista. He put in his left earbud and offered the other too Drista who was about to strangle Dream, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Hi! My name is Alya! Is there anything I can get you guys too eat? Drink?" She said sweetly. "I'll just get a Mocha Latte extra chocolate and a coke, oh- and some skittles?" Tommy asks. Alya nodded and wrote it down. "For you?" She asks Drista. "Pumkin Frappuccino, and some Dr. Pepper cream soda." She replies before scrolling on Spotify. 

Alya turned to Dream and Fundy. "I'll just get them some water... and some tea." She said very confused.

Tommy lied. When he got into the cool yet thick air of Manburg, the lower part of L'manburg he was not expecting it to be so... bland. He was so not ready. He felt Drista squeeze his hand, also very nervous. He squeezed back. "We'll be fine, besides when we get too aunt Niki's we can see Lani!" Tommy says, mentioning the Brunette made Drista a little happier, still sultry though.

Tommy sighed, he had a month too figure out the layout of the area he lived in, find out the most convenient bus stop and places too eat, find out where to restock on Polaroid Film. All while keeping Tubbo and Lani from committing MURDER. Sometimes he hated being The 4th oldest, just after ranboo, and then Dream and fundy who were twins but also the oldest. Now listen, yes he and tubbo are twins, but Tommy is older by 7 and a half minutes, so he's older, by default. Sue him.

He texted his friend Purpled who sadly lived in Las Nevadas, a neighboring country to L'manburg. He found a nice coffee shop and thought he and Purpled could catch up. When they got too the Cafe. Muffin and Pastries Cafe he and Purpled took a seat and immediately dove into conversations about everything, Punz and Dream, parents, food, minecraft, school all of it. Until surprisingly the Cafe had to close. "Sorry boys!" Said a dark brunette with glasses. "But the shop closed an hour ago and as funny as you guys are I'm pushing my luck right now. But feel free to stop by again!" The Man said. "Oh yes! Of course very sorry!" Tommy said.

---

One week, he had one week before school started, he and Dream were at the park swinging on the swings, not a lot, just a little like when you sit on a swing and you just barely swing but it's there. "You excited?" Tommy hummed. "Not really? How about you Mr. Lacrosse Football." The older of the two wheezed. "I'm not even 18! I'm not a mr!" Dream said cackling as he fell off the swing, legs still on it, they didn't notice 4 people walking over. "Sureee whatever you say Clayton" Tommy said. "Oh your in for it now! C'MERE TOMATHY!" Tommy screeched and ran past the four people staring that were confused. Dream Sprinted right past, he wasn't as elegant as Tommy was, but Tommy was a silk dancer and did acrobatics. Dream did LaCrosse and Football. Dream was more like a cheetah while Tommy was like an elk. Tommy screamed when Dream tackled him and they burst into laughter again. Tommy got up and saw Fundy talking too four people.

He walked over and layed his head on Fundy's shoulder with a yawn. Tubbo who was also there simply picked up the blonde. "Put me downnn!" Tommy tiredly scolded his twin. "Nope!" Tubbo said popping the 'p' with a smile. "Fine take me home then." Tubbo nodded. "Alright. Bye Dream, bye Fundy don't be out late, mom will freak more then she already is." With that the short brunette carried a sleeping blonde back to their house.

This took a bit. But I hope you like it. This was just to get some things and structural in place.

TW: CIGARETTES.

Tommy groaned when he woke up too patches licking him. "Patches get off." Tommy drowsily said. "Tommy c'mon! The bus gets here in 20 minutes!" That got Tommy awake. He was up and out of bed before patches could react. He ran over to his dresser and grabbed blue jeans. He went to his closet and settled for a simple salmon pink shirt. He ran to the bathroom and changed. After about 10 minutes Tommy was all ready. "Here's some money you guys, no trouble. Got it?" Fundy nodded at their mother's words. "But of course mother." Dream stated. Tommy sighed as he, Tubbo, and Ranboo head for the bus stop. Drista ran out and gave Tommy a hug. "Don't leave me alone with lani!" She pleaded. "I have too. Sorry." Tommy says. "My water gun is under my bed. Blue box." He whispered to her. "Boys it's time to go!" Niki called to them. Tommy ruffled Drista's hair and ran downstairs.

------

Tommy pov- I felt bad that I couldn't be with drista the first day of school, but she was sick. So we had to leave her at home. She wasn't happy with us. I sighed as I sat on the bus infront of a brunette and black haired dude with a white headband? Bandana? Rope? I don't know, and frankly don't want to know, I'm too tired. Dream and Quackity sat next to them. Dream made friends with them pretty quickly from what I could tell. I smiled at that thought ignoring the strange look I got from Ranboo. Purpled fell asleep against my shoulder I looked at Punz for help who was one seat infront of us but he only shrugged. I glared at him and sat still.

When we finally arrived to school I had my books in my hand and my locker number and code "Locker 301... hall 3..." I mutter as i look for it, "200...203....210....213..." I was heading in the right direction atleast. Ranboo left me a few minutes ago. His locker was 201. "250...260..267..." I was growing frustrated this school was too damn big. "Locker 294... 296...298..300..." i finally spot my locker. "Finally." I say, but a brunette in a beanie was talking to a tall brunette in a dress were blocking my locker.

This is some cliche shit- bullies blocking my locker- great. I thought as i push past them and into my locker. "Sorry!" I quickly steady the one in a dress and heels as he wobbles. "Oh it's no problem- say your new aren't you?" He said. "Yep- me and my siblings." The one in the beanie scoffed and I turned too him. "Problem?" I ask calmly. "Not at all." He said as he lit a cigarette. I leaned away, I never liked the smell of the smoke, uncle schlatt did it too often, and he also drank, which was how he died. He didn't want to think about that. ---- Tommy walked to his first class with ranboo after walking away from the brunettes who he learned are Eret and Wilbur. "Hello class, my name is Sam, if you look on the screen you will find your table partners, they will be your partners for the rest of the year." Tommy looked at the screen and cursed. He was in between wilbur and Ranboo. "For fucks sake man-"

You've got to be kidding me...

Tommy groaned as he saw Wilbur and ranboo at his desk. "You've got to be kidding me man!" He says exasperated. As he sat down next to Wilbur. Ranboo shot him a sympathetic glance. "Don't pity me Ranboo." Tommy says. Ranboo raised his hands in mock surrender. "Ah! Our new students with our top student. I hope your well behaved and can teach Wilbur a thing or too on good behavior" Sam says looking at Wilbur. Tommy nods.

"Yeah! Tommy was top of our class last year! I unfortunately did summer school to stay in the same grade with them due to my amnesia." Ranboo explains smiling. "Well come on up." Sam says. They walk up together. "Hi! My name is Ranboo, I'm 18, and 5 months older than Tommy! My pronouns are he/they/it. Uhhh... I think that's it? Tommy?" Tommy looked at him and sighed before looking at the class. "Hi, my name is Thomas, but call me Tommy, my pronouns are he/they. I'm 18." Tommy grumbled. "Wonderful! Any questions for our new students before we begin?" Sam asks the class. "How tall are you R-ranboo? Did I say that right-?" A boy with a shaved head asks. "Yes, don't worry, and im 6"7 and growing." Ranboo says. "I'm 6"2 and growing." Tommy says. "What are your favorite colors?" A girl with black hair asks. "Oh! Well, mine is blue, Ranboo's is purple." Tommy says. "Hobbies?" A deep voice asks. "Oh! Tommy you answer this one, our hobbies are the same pretty much, only I don't swim or ice skate" Ranboo says cheerily. "OK, well, I like video games" the bald person perked up at that. "We like doing our make up and nails. Cause. Fuck gender roles." 2 people perk up, Eret, and the girl black hair. "We enjoy history, mostly mythology though." The deep voice person straightens in interest. "And music! Me ranboo and my twin have a mini band called bench trio. We don't upload often though." Wilbur looked Tommy dead in the eye. A look that said. 'You, and me, are going to talk' Tommy bit back a shiver. "I also enjoy ice skating and swimming. Oh and acrobatics" Tommy finishes. "Can we sit down now?" Ranboo asks. Sam nods.

----

Fundy sighed as he and Dream sat in history, having already introduced themselves. Dream looked at him and held up 2 fingers. A code the children of puffy made up years ago. 'You ok?' The 2 fingers meant. Fundy nods and held up 1 and then 2. 'Yeah, tired.' Dream nods and flinched when a ruler is slammed on there desk. "Stop distracting each other" the teacher snaps. "Sorry sir." Fundy mumbles. Dream snarled quietly but said nothing. "Mr. Pie? I don't understand this problem" Fundy definitely did not like history anymore.

-----

Quackity fidgeted in his seat, he was mo where near Dream, the only person he shares this class with that he knows. The two were on opposite sides of the room. He felt someone grab his hand that was clawing at his thigh. He turned and saw the brunette with goggles from the bus."Stop that." The boy whispered harshly. Quackity shrank back and the boy softened. "It'll hurt you if you don't." Yep, the brunette was right, he felt the stinging of pressure on open wounds. He hissed softly at the stinging. The boy sighed and raised his hand. "And that is why b² x a³ is- oh, yes George?" George, Quackity thought, fitting. "Quackity is hurt, can I go to Mrs. Hannah to get him patched up?" George asked his teacher, Mr. Frost. "Of course, be careful." Mr. Frost said. As he went back to teaching math. George guided Quackity around the school to the Nurse. Quackity was surprised. He wasn't expecting this on his first day. Whatever. He's seen weirder.

---

Tubbo glared at his teacher, first day and already was he being handed fucking essays and things to read. Lani snickered and held up 2 fingers. "You good?" Tubbo held up 1. Then 3 "Yup. Just pissed" lani nodded, she knew tubbo was going to struggle with English, thankfully Tommy was shockingly good at all his classes. Tubbo has never been more relieved to hear the annoying bell ring.

-----
Tommy looked around the school, looking for the library. "This place is too big" He huffed. He heard a voice. "Need help kid?" He turned, oh! It was the pink haired guy with the deep voice... and Wilbur. "Uh.." Wilbur nodded. "Yeah, this place is too big" Tommy hums. "Well, I need to get to class, but wilbur can help you." Tommy paled slightly. The guy hated him! "What! TECHNO! COME BAC- and he's gone." Wilbur mutters. "Sucks to be you." Tommy sneers. "Shut up child." Wilbur snaps.

Tommy sighed. "I could just see the look you made, what do you want." Tommy asks, although it was more a demand. "Well, you said you liked music. I'm curious. What do you play?" That... was not what Tommy was expecting. At all. "Well, I play piano, a little bit of violin, some guitar. And a bit of bass" Tommy says. "Cool." Is all the other responds with. It was awkward.

Tommy was confused. "Sorry about my mood the other day, my girlfriend told me that, not only was she moving, but that she had a boyfriend there and was cheating on me." Tommy clenched his fists. "Shit way to break up. Sorry king." Tommy said sympathetically. "It's fine. Well it's not, but I don't blame you or her." Tommy could barely comprehend what he was learning. Wilbur wasn't as stuck up as he seemed? Shocker.

Tommy groaned as he flopped on his bed. He had a lot to think about. "I can see the gears in your head turning bud." Tommy looked at Niki as she walked into his room. "What's on your mind kiddo?" She asks. "Well... there's this guy a friend you could say." Niki nodded. "And he's a bit of a jerk, but he had a breakup, a shit one. But, I don't know how to help. Eve-" "Even if you want to. I get it bud. I wish I could help. But stay strong. You're smart. You'll figure something out." Niki says before walking out. At that note Tommy decided to sleep.

Chapter Text

Tommy tossed in his bed as he slept, unable to Wake up.

Tommy pov-

As I walked through the hall of doors counting the doors until I got to #1. It was a plain white door. I slowly open the door and as I did I became transparent. "What the hell...?" I saw small me, I looked to be about 5 years old. I saw Fundy, before he transitioned, or in other words, I was looking at Flower, "Flower! Come play wif me!" Tiny me asked my older brother sister. Seeing me call my transgender brother his dead name made me upset. "Alright bud, what do you want to play?" Flower asked. "Uh... Little nightmares!" Tiny me exclaimed. I forgot how much I love that game. I should get Ranboo to play with me sometime. "O- Oh no..." Tommy whispered as he heard a door slam. He remembered this part. His father was a drunkard, became one after his wife ended up in a coma from frontal temporal dementia. Tommy remembered when the doctor asked if he knew what dying meant. He did. 

He shivered as he saw his father come in. "BOYS! BED NOW!" He saw Tiny him flinch, his father softening at the fear on his youngest sons face. "I'm sorry boys.. pack your things. Please." Tommy's heart broke as he heard the pain in his father's voice. He watched as Flower dragged Tommy to the shared bedroom and started packing. "Boys, do you know what an orphanage is?" Tiny tom shook his head, at the same time Flower nodded "are you leaving us daddy?" Flower asked. The kids' father nodded. "It isn't safe for you with me kiddo." Tiny Tommy started crying. "Your- you're leaving us?" He sobbed. Tommy could barely hold his own tears back. He should ask puffy if he and fundy could one day look for their father... "I have to kiddo... I love you" Their father says as he stopped the car in the middle of a city. Called La Jolla. By now Tommy was crying silently as he watched his father hand Flower a small snow fox plushy. And tommy a cow plushy. Then giving them both a kiss on the forehead. "I love you. I love you two so much." Their father said as he walked back to the car. Tommy watched shattered as his Tiny self fell with a sob as Flower hugged him tightly...

Tommy bolted awake. "What the hell..." he whispered as he looked around, hand running through his golden hair that he got from his mother. He saw the clock. 5:57 am. He had to wake up in around 30 minutes. So he decided to just get ready. He grabbed a black hoodie that he stole from Ranboo.

As he poured cereal for himself he kept thinking of the hallway. He felt like he knew it from somewhere..  but where? "Morning Tom" he heard from behind him. "Mornin' Fundy." Tommy grumbled. He loved his family. But right now, he didn't want to talk to them.

Tommy dst next to Wilbur and Ranboo in class. Ignoring the concerned looks. He knew he looked like shit. "You good dude?" Wilbur whispered. Tommy hesitated and shrugged as he wrote down what Sam was saying. "I'll share one day. Maybe." He whispered back. He knew he probably wouldn't share.

A few weeks went by. He still didn't share to anyone about the hallway of doors. He did research. But nothing came up. He went to the city library and bought a map of the ESEMPI continent. He looked on the map for the Tiny city of LA Jolla. He found it. He marked it with red marker. He also bought a book of urban legends after seeing it described a hall of doors. He decided he'd take the 200$ he saved up from doing work back in Jubilee line.."I'll find you dad.." He put it in a jar labeled "father finder?"

At that, he hid it. And went to bed. Ready to find his father soon. After all, it had been almost 13 years. He considered asking fundy. But deciding against it.

He really should of known. He knew fundy would find out. One way or another. "If you really want to find him... I'll go with you. IF and ONLY IF. You ask puffy. And she says yes." Tommy couldn't believe it. His brother said he wanted to find him aswell! He smiled and nodded. He headed outside and was surprised to see a black Volvo, outside. Wilbur in it. Waving at him. He walked over as Wilbur rolled down the window. "Get in nerd." He heard Techno said. "The fuck?" Is all he could muster up to say.

Hello readers! Don't forget to comment your thoughts! We get backstory today! I'm hoping hoping get the next chapter out soon. I will eventually explain the hallway of doors. But for now? It remains a mystery. Even too Tommy. Remember to try and get atleadt 2hours of sleep. Drink 2 bottles of water. And 2 meals a day! Or atleast one bottle of water. Stay safe my lovely pack!

Chapter Text

I'm gonna keep it short and simple.
I left the dsmp Fandom, I will try to finish this book.
My mom passed in February, and my dad recently started dating again. (Technically he started after like a month but-)
I started highschool and I'm gonna be super busy now.
I've over all just been living my life as best as I can because with the way the world is and the way my neighborhood/city is its a bit rough.
So I'm just trying to stay safe and all that.
I recently got a bunch of scam emails about my writing and now I'm wondering how they got my email so I've been worried to use this account.

But I'm okay! I'm safe, I have friends watching out for me I just wanted to explain why I haven't been on here.
