The whole Dream SMP are all gathered inside the Community House for Story Telling Friday Night on November 1. It had always been a tradition to them to do it.

Dream had George on his lap while they tease each other who'll be the one to get scared the most, the SBI Inc. were gagging at the scene making Nikki, Eret, and Fundy to chuckle at the expressions they're making.

Beside the ogling deniable couple was another set of couples. Karl, Quackity, and Sapnap. Karl who was leaning his head on Sapnap's shoulder while the latter remained unfazed, Quackity apparently had his head laid on Sapnap's lap while his legs are on top of Schlatt's legs which the man didn't argue with.

Skeppy was also sitting on someone's lap–on Bad's lap to be precise, he was leaning on the latter's chest while they are being...sweet...Too fucking sweet, that ants are slowly crawling into me. Anyways, Ranboo, Tubbo and their adorable son Michael on Tubbo's lap were beside them...deffo flerting.

Sam Nook, Awesamdude, Jack Manifold, and Foolish were just Vibing. Until Puffy started the opening of the tradition.

"So, there are some who aren't here since they are busy doing things...and it's just us for this day of the year. To those who are New to the SMP, we always have a tradition during 1st of November...

And it's to gather us in the Community House, doors and windows locked, as we talk about scary stories that happened in our lives.

Now, the first who went before was none other than Schlatt. So this time, I want Tommy to start...Tommy?" Puffy beckoned Tommy to start, he was sweating a bit, as he remembered something from the...past.

Wilbur and Tommy locked eyes looking horrified, and it went noticable to everyone's eyes.

"So...I'm guessing tonight is a confession night? Hah..." Dream snorted earning a jab on the stomach by George.

"Don't listen to him Tommy...just open up to us. Something scarily terrifying you've encountered before. Don't worry we won't laugh, you know how the tradition goes." George gave him a reassuring smile and a pat on the Head which calmed Tommy a bit.

"Ok...so Dad Phil, Techno..." Hearing their names from the younger, they turned their attention to him.

"Mm?" They were now on ears. "Remember 10 years ago? When we had our annual SMP festival? That time when me and Wilbur went to the Festival stands?" Tommy asked them, they nodded as their brows furrowed sensing something wrong about it.

"Yes, it was also getting late at that time, and yet both you and Wilbur still insisted in visiting the Festival stands at that time...did something happened?" Philza asked worriedly.

"Yeah, and Tommy came back home with a Parrot doll or plushie or something...and you guys happened to return it tho cause Tommy stole the damn thing and he regretted doing it. What's there to say?" This perked everyone's attention, as Tommy grew even paler when the Doll was being mentioned.

"When me and Tommy came back from the Festival...we were off to bed...something happened..." This time Wilbur started, palm sweating looking like he had seen a ghost.

"Go on..." Said Schlatt, while squinting his eyes. "That night...I had a dream...a horrible one..." This confuses them.

"Wait, wait...by chance is this also a reason why you didn't?"

"Yes, Techno...that was also a reason why I didn't use that 'THING' for about a year...cause I got traumatized by it..." Wilbur said trembling a bit, eyes wide open.

"Tommy why don't you tell us a story?"

"Oh...well, it started on a spring day...when me and Wilbur were little kids...10 years ago to be precise."



















10 years ago

A 7 year old Tommy was jumping up and down as a smile was plastered on his face, staring at his older brother who was walking down the stairs.

"WILBY! COME ON! THE FESTIVAL'S GONNA BACK THEIR TRUNKS SOON! I WANT AT LEAST ON TOY!!! PLEASEEEEE~" Tommy pleaded making his 10 year old brother chuckle at his younger brother's antics.

"Calm down Tommy, we'll get into it Don't worry!" Wilbur said with a smile. "Where you guys going exactly?" A 10 year old Technoblade asked with a poker face on.

"Oh you know, just gonna hang out at the festival while they're still there...I heard they'll be packing up first day in the morning, and Tommy wants to buy something." Wilbur grinned while Techno fixed his glasses, nodding.

"Sure thing then, here some money...I know you guys are going to take longer than expected. Don't worry about Dad, I'll handle it. Just enjoy while you're there. Always on watch with Tommy, K?" Techno said giving out a small bag of golden nuggets as he gave Wilbur a warning.

"Seriously Tech, I can handle him. Anyways BYE!!!!" Wilbur quickly dashed towards the door, dragging Tommy as they both laugh leaving Techno alone inside the house.

"Those two seriously..." Techno sighed, before a small smile tugged on his lips.

"Wait Wilbur! What about Dad?!?" Tommy screeched as he was flailing his hands running around panicking.

Wilbur yanked him from the back of his collar making Tommy stop. "Don't worry, Techno said he'd deal with Dad Phil, right now we're gonna have loads of fun together!" Wilbur said grinning sheepishly.

"LEZZZ GOO!!!!" The two played different kinds of games, rode the frogy hop, the octopus, the rollercoaster and barfed afterwards.

But that didn't stop them from eating a bunch. They even met up with close friends like the Dream Team, and the Muffin Duo.

They were about to head home when they passed by a stand that sells dolls/plushies.

One thing caught Tommy's eyes...A colorful Parrot Doll that was on the far right corner of the shelves. He quickly tugged on Wilbur's Sweater begging him to buy the Parrot.

It happens to be that the seller was a witch, but his eyes were also settled on the Doll Tommy wanted and ignored the woman that's a witch.

"Hello, can I buy that Parrot?" Wilbur asked kindly, but only to receive a sneer from the woman. "No, it's not for sale." The woman said.

"But I want it!" Whined Tommy. "Umm...Tommy I think we can't buy it anymore...we don't have money left." Confessed Wilbur. Tommy had his head held down low, he was sad.

Wilbur pat Tommy's head in reassurance before they started walking away.

"Wait..."

"What is it Tommy?"

"You go on first...I'll be right there with you..." Wilbur frowned but began walking back home. Tommy quickly ran back to the woman pleading about the Parrot, the woman said no and left to exchange silvers with gold to another stand.

Tommy took this opportunity to steal the Parrot on the shelves before running away. He then met up with Wilbur at the front door of their house.

"Wait...how?" Asked Wilbur while pointing at the Parrot Doll Tommy was holding.

"O-Oh...the woman gave it to me when I pleaded...hehe" Tommy lied through his teeth...feeling guilty to why he lies to Wilbur.

Wilbur shrugged as both of them went inside. That evening they ate, took a bath and then Wilbur tucked Tommy to bed with the Parrot Doll beside Tommy.

When Wilbur made sure that Tommy is asleep, he turned off the lights before going to bed himself.
