Tubbo stopped walking and shivered, his eyes getting heavy. The snow had turned into a blizzard and he could feel his bee side falling asleep.

"T-Tommy…" he called out. His best friend looked back before rushing over and wrapping his short wings around the smaller one.

"Come on Tubbo," Tommy said calmly, even though he too, was shaking from the cold, "Ranboo said he'd find shelter. You can make it."

"Mm." Tubbo nodded, pulling one of Tommy's wings closer.

The snow was almost knee height when Tubbo saw a few purple particles appear to their right.

"Ran!" He called out.

The particles formed a tall slender figure, who rushed over and grabbed him.

"Tubbo!" Ranboo called out as he grabbed Tubbo, just as he was about to fall. He lifted Tubbo up with one arm and grabbed Tommy's shoulder with the other before all three of them vanished.

They reappeared in a small cave. Ranboo released Tommy and moved to set Tubbo down by the small fire he had prepared earlier using the little wood he had that wasn't wet from the snow. Tommy shook the snow off and looked up at the mouth of the cave, which was about 5 meters away.

"Damn, not far enough." He mumbled.

Ranboo's ears picked up but he didn't look away from Tubbo. "Sorry, it's the only one I could find. It's snow for miles out there."

Tommy shook his head and walked to the fire, where he saw Tubbo's eyes flutter open as Ranboo held him next to the fire.

"Warm…" he smiled and nuzzled his face into Ranboo's torso. Tommy let out a little snort at the sight and sat down across from the other two, wrapping his wings around his shivering shoulders and holding his hands in front of the fire to try to warm up.

His smile melted.

"We're stuck out here, aren't we."

"Tommy-" Ranboo tried to retaliate, but he was thinking the same thing.

"Phil will come get us…" Tubbo hummed. "He will…"

Tommy sighed. "Yeah… crow father will find us." He huddled into a ball and watched the flames.

Hours passed.

Tubbo had fallen asleep.

Ranboo was going through the small bag he had been carrying, emptying everything out while mumbling to himself.

"Flint and steel… Feathers… can use those for the fire. Got one raw chicken and a clump of fox berries for Tommy. A- what is this? Ah! A blanket! Good. Good."

"You gonna keep mumblin' to yourself over there in the dark or did you find anything useful?" Tommy laughed tiredly. The faint flicker of the fire lit his face.

"Actually, I did!" Ranboo stood and walked over. He dropped the blanket on Tommy, who scooted over next to the sleeping Tubbo and wrapped the two of them up in the blanket while Ranboo added the feathers to the pile of hot ashes. They caught on fire but died out quickly. Ranboo frowned as they were plunged into darkness. "Well."

Tommy let out a little snort. "Good job, big guy."

Ranboo huffed in frustration and sat down next to Tommy.

Another hour passed, and Tommy was also falling asleep. Ranboo stood up, his enderman eyes surveying the nearly pitch black cave, and walked over to the mouth. He reached a hand out but recoiled with a hiss when the snow brushed past it.

"Ranboo?" He heard Tommy call out behind him, sleepily.

"Tommy I-" Ranboo turned, a determined look on his face. "I'm going to go out looking for someone."

"You sure? You'll get hurt if the snow touches you." Tommy looked up towards where he could see a few purple particles glowing around Ranboo.

"Yeah. You and Tubbo are down for the count, and I can't just sit here while we all freeze." Ranboo teleported out of the cave.

As more hours passed, Tommy drifted in and out of sleep. Sometimes there was the noise of Ranboo teleporting back and shaking off snow before going back out. Sometimes it was to re-adjust the blanket that had slipped off his shoulder. He noticed though, that with every return, Ranboo stayed a little longer. He opened his eyes and looked at the mouth of the cave, where a soft light was shining through the snow.

"Morning already?" He whispered.

Ranboo teleported in and collapsed.

"Ranboo!" Tommy yelled, standing up quickly and taking the blanket with him. He kneeled down beside the tall, shivering person and brushed the snow off him before putting the blanket over him. Ranboo winced at the touch, but didn't retreat.

"You're hurt and freezing, take the blanket." Tommy helped Ranboo up.

"I can't stop… It will be morning soon… I can find… someone…" He chattered through his teeth.

"Take a break big man." Tommy tried pulling him further into the cave. "Come, I still have a few berries left."

"But those are for you!" Ranboo stopped.

"I'm full." Tommy lied. "Besides, you need the energy more than I do right now."

Ranboo opened his mouth to protest but got a small handful of berries shoved into it. He grumbled but ate them silently. He felt a few of the now burns heal and felt just a bit warmer. He stood tall again and handed the blanket back to Tommy.

"Thank you, Tommy."

"Ranboo, you aren't going-"

"I'm going to find someone." Ranboo said with confidence before teleporting out of the cave again.

Tommy sighed and walked back to Tubbo, who was humming quietly in his sleep, and wrapped the blanket around the two of them again.

Wilbur shook the snow out of his hair and shivered.

"I thought ghosts couldn't get cold." Techno said in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh shut up." Wilbur huffed with a smile. "Even this blizzard is a bit too much for me."

"Hey, the sun is coming up!" Phil called out behind them. Wilbur turned back to see Phil shielding himself from the snow using one of his big black wings.

"Oh thank goodness!" Techno laughed. "Maybe now I can see something other than the faint glow of Wilbur and SNOW."

Phil laughed as Wilbur punched Techno playfully.

"Come on you two, remember why we're out here. We need to find the boys."

Wilbur's smile turned serious and he looked around.

"We've been out here for hours." Wilbur stated.

"How long does one blizzard last?" Techno huffed. He was really glad for the cloak Phil had given him before they set out. "Come on Will, it's your turn with the foot."

Wilbur let out a laugh as he took the rabbits foot from Techno. "As if this actually works. I still don't think rabbits feet are actually lucky."

"Mmm, you'll see." Techno smiled.

They walked for a little ways before Wilbur heard a vwoop! To his right. His head turned just in time to see a black form fall face first into the snow.

"Ranboo?!" He yelped, running over. He knelt down next to the dark man and grabbed his hand.

"Will… help…" Ranboo huffed with a strained breath.

Phil and Techno rushed over, Techno wiping off his cloak to put on Ranboo. He grabbed Ranboo by the shoulders and shook him awake.

"Ranboo. Where are the others?"

Ranboo blinked and shook his head. "Cave… near here…"

"Wilbur-" Phil said as he shielded Ranboo and Techno with his wings.

"Got it." Wilbur said before sinking below the snow. He was very hungry, so he knew this wouldn't last long, so he looked around frantically. He spotted a small cave about 10 meters away to his left, with a lump in the middle, and popped above ground again.

"Found them! This way!"

Techno lifted the enderman with one swift movement and he and Phil followed the ghost. They came to a cave that was at the perfect angle so the snow wouldn't fly in, and they rushed inside. Wilbur hurried over to the dark mass in the middle of the cave as Phil lit a torch.

"Tommy! Tubbo!" Wilbur called out. Neither of them responded. "G- guys?" He touched Tommy's cheek carefully and gasped. "PHIL HE'S FREEZING!"

Phil rushed over with the torch. "Oh god-" He nearly ripped his own cloak trying to take it off in a hurry. "Wilbur- take the blanket and lay it on the ground over there."

Wilbur carefully but hurriedly unwrapped the blanket from the two boys.

"Techno, help me lay them all down on it." Techno nodded as he carried Ranboo over.

They positioned the three boys side by side on the blanket with Tommy in the middle, and laid the to cloak on top of them. Phil immediately got started on a fire using the wood from Techno's bag, and Wilbur grabbed the healing potions from his. He popped the cork out and poured a little into each boy's mouth at a time. Ranboo's burns healed, Tommy's skin regained its color, and Tubbo stirred. Wilbur let out a sigh of relief. "They're going to be ok." He said mostly to himself.

The fire was now lit, and Techno was roasting some meat over it. He handed some bread to Phil and Wilbur and the three of them recovered their stamina.

After about 40 minutes, the meat was all cooked and Wilbur heard the blanket/cloak pile stir. He looked over to see Tubbo's head popping out, looking at the fire.

"Tubbo!" Wilbur exclaimed.

"Wilbur..?" Tubbo rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and sat up. He smiled when he looked back. "You guys found us… I knew it."

"You ought to thank Ranboo for that," Phil said, handing Tubbo a loaf of bread. Tubbo looked over at Tommy and Ranboo, both of which were sleeping peacefully next to him under the warm cloaks. He smiled softly. He slipped out from beneath the cloaks and joined the other three at the fire. Pretty much as soon as he sat down, warmth enveloped him and he got a lot of his energy back.

The four of them talked over the fire for a bit until the sun started shining into the cave.

"I think the blizzard is starting to clear up!" Phil noted.

"Finally!" Tubbo grinned. He looked over at the other two and his grin faded. "They haven't woken up though."

Techno put a hand on Tubbo's shoulder. "They'll be fine, they're both resilient."

Tubbo nodded, still keeping an eye on them.

Wilbur got up and rummaged through the packs that were lined up against the far wall. He pulled out a few bottles and read the labels. "Swiftness… Damage resistance… where is… aha! Healing! We've got one left."

He shuffled over to Tommy and Ranboo and poured the last potion carefully into their mouths. Ranboo's eyes fluttered open and he groaned.

"I still hate that taste." He mumbled.

"Oh shush, you know it helps." Tubbo laughed. Ranboo's eyes shot open and he sat up.

"Tubbo! You're ok!"

"Yeah! Don't you remember? Bees fall asleep when it's cold."

Ranboo flushed. "O-oh right. I knew that-" he muttered and looked down at Tommy next to him.

"Tommy…" he poked his cheek.

"Mmm. Five more minutes." Tommy grumbled and rolled over towards the fire.

The others laughed and Tommy shot up, surprised.

"Guys!" He cried, smiling from ear to ear. He and Ranboo got up and walked to the fire, where the others made room for them. Techno handed Ranboo a freshly cooked mutton and Tommy some apples. They thanked him before digging in, both of them famished.

They talked around the fire while the snow settled down outside.

After a little while, Ranboo got up and walked outside. "Guys! I can see home!" He called back. Tommy and Tubbo ran over and whooped. Wilbur followed them as Phil and Techno packed everything back up and put out the fire.

"Come on boys, it's time to go home." Phil said as he joined the group.

"Yes sir!" Tommy saluted and Tubbo laughed.
