I'll only show you half The rest I gotta hide 'Cause you don't understand

Sometimes I say too much

“They’re so small!” Tubbo shouted, clearly amazed by the bees in front of him.

The trio had wandered the island trying to see what all they could do - if there was a way off.

That was their plan, until Tubbo had spotted a beehive in a tree and insisted they go check it out.

Even if they had said no it would have meant nothing to Tubbo, who was instantly climbing the tree.

“There’s so many of them too,” Ranboo commented.

He was right, instead of the usual two or three that came out of the hive there were hundreds or thousands of them.

“I got to say, they’re a lot less cute here,” Tubbo noted, still yelling down at them, “But still plenty cute.”

“Try to pet one!” Tommy dared.

“They are way too small for that,” Tubbo argued, “Buuuut you know what we can do?”

“Hey,” Salem greeted.

“Hallo!” Techno greeted in return, “What’d you need?”

“So,” Salem started, “Another portal to your world may or may not have opened.”

“Do you know anything about this?” Techno asked Dream.

“If I were to open a portal why wouldn’t it be around here?” Dream questioned.

“Fair fair,” Techno shrugged, “So how do you know it was from our world and not another world?”

“Because a few kids came though,” Salem answered, “Pretty sure one of them was a hybrid.”

From what she could see in the faint moonlight, at least.

“Wait, Ranboo came through?” Dream asked.

She shrugged, “Didn’t catch their names, only Tommy’s.”

“Great, glad we’re certain of all people that he’s here,” Techno sighed.

“He seemed alright?”

She couldn’t exactly blame all three of them for freaking out.

As nice as being given a place to stay was, there certainly wasn’t much to do.

That’s what led Techno and Dream to do another round of animal facts.

Mind you, they hadn’t learned any new facts for them to share, it was just the same ones.

It was more so a test of memory.

To make sure Dream’s brain hadn’t gone to mush after eight months of staring at the same three walls.

“What’s this one called?” Techno asked.

Even though he couldn’t see Dream’s face, he could feel his eye roll.

“Boobrie,” Dream answered, “And you’re very mature.”

“I didn’t say anything - you’re the one who thought of it like that, that’s just the name of the animal,” Techno shrugged.

“Yeah, and you just happened to pick this one over any other?” Dream questioned.

“I think they’re cool birds, because despite their size they-”

Techno’s words were cut off by an earth shaking roar.

That was completely and utterly embarrassing.

Dream had to sleep it off, which sucked.

He was embarrassed, not just because whatever the fuck 'I look like noodle' meant.

But because it was because he'd let his guard down enough for that to happen in the first place.

He should have known better than to trust food he'd been given by someone he'd known for less than a month.

Of course all the other times she'd given him food was just so he'd be used to it and wouldn't question the muffins.

Dream couldn't decide if Techno had been in on it, or if it was just his genetics making him immune to it.
