Summary: After the teens get some rest they wake Tommy up to get some food that they don't have to forage or hunt. Hopefully none of the stuff affects Tommy.

The crew finally introduce themselves to Tommy!

Groggily Tommy was gently shaken from his warm slumber. He swats the presence that dares to wake him. Go away, he's very comfy and warm right now and he has a squishy pillow to hug. It's very fluffy. It's probably Tubbo with the amount of times he's hugged him in his sleep, he can recognize that tuft of fur anywhere.

He was shaken again, this time with an added buzz. He groans and tightens the hug for a second before letting go and opening his eyes.

Tubbo took the chance of freedom and bolted out of the bed, Ranboo was already up and off the bed, he was close, probably the one to shake him awake. The bitch.

He swats his hand again and finally gets up, stretching and popping his back. Letting out sighs of relief, he hasn't slept that well in a long ass while, he's been so used to stone floors, metals, shitty cell beds etc. so this was a really nice change of pace.

He hears a startled screech and sees Ranboo worriedly checking his back and arms, Tubbo was staring at him with wide eyes, startled about something. Tommy looks around, confused. Did something happen and he didn't see it?

Ranboo grabs his left arm and moves the arm in a circular motion. Did... did aliens help with stretching? What is he doing? Curiously, Tommy stretches his arm, the one Ranboo is holding, and it gives a quiet pop. Ranboo let go of his arm, screeching and backpedaling, knocking a couple of knickknacks and Tubbo flinched hard.

"Ohh, okay, I get it"

Guess popping bones wasn't the norm.

Ranboo starts talking, warbles and strange gargled sounds escaping him as Tubbo flies closer to him as if to make sure the arm didn't just pop off.

He humors Tubbo by moving it around, tapping the fuzzy little ailen on his head which earns Tommy an amused hum. He moves it around as he gets up, calming Ranboo in the process, showing that he's not about to collapse from popping a couple of joints.

Stretching his legs he stands up, trying to look around the room, it's still dark in the room, if he wasn't already adjusted to the light he'd struggle to see where the damn door is.

"Why is your room so dark? Are you an emo? Or are your favorite colors black and dark purple? I'd say you're nocturnal but you're clearly up during daylight"

Tommy looks around the room, tapping any interesting knickknacks he sees, there's this weird glowing dark green chest? It has this cool looking eye symbol on it, odd. He shrugs mentally and continues on, missing the eye's movement as it follows him.

He stops when he hears and feels a rumbling sound in his stomach. Ranboo and Tubbo tilt their heads at the sound, Ranboo warbling at Tommy as if asking a question.

He points at them

"Where the hell is your kitchen? Do you guys have kitchens? Is that just a human thing? Please tell me it's not just a human thing, cause that would suck."

When Tubbo and Ranboo only respond with confusion he sighs and makes a gesture, pointing at his open mouth. He doesn't want to wander out of this room on his own trying to find the kitchen or some food, he doesn't know this ship or its other occupants very well yet. New territory could spell trouble, especially for him.

Luckily he doesn't need to play charades for long, as they seem to quickly understand what he's trying to say and eagerly walk out of the room with him following them closely.

Before he leaves he glances back behind him and sees Shroud staring down at them all and busy on his... web home thing.. He waits for a second and Shroud finally seems to realize that Tommy is waiting for him to come down. He climbs down before jumping down and landing on Tommy, it startles him slightly but the only reaction he gives is a shiver. Even though he likes Shroud and he's adorable looking, it's still a very human reaction to feel just a bit disturbed at being climbed on.

He once again walks down the nice homey halls. Honestly this ship is not at all what he expected. He was expecting the typical stereotype ship with white and gray steel metal walls and cold atmosphere that could rival hospitals with pipes or maybe a constant echo of the ship's engines.

But it's honestly quite the opposite, and he's grateful for it, heaven knows he's seen enough cold steel walls to fulfill his lifetime. The floor wasn't cold flooring but instead made of a carpet-like material. Like if someone took smooth fabric but textured it with the normal carpet you'd get in a school. How it's smooth but still keeps a school carpet texture is beyond him but he likes it. It's the color brown with some yellow and orange flecks here and there.

The ceiling has the occasional vent every now and then but otherwise it's pretty smooth and is rounded slightly and it was a light gray in color. The walls felt like wood and were painted a darkened gray. It still definitely felt like a spaceship, between the low hum, and strange vibration beneath his feet, it was easy to tell that this wasn't just a regular house. But it felt warm and cozy especially compared to the other ships. The hum of the engines was barely noticeable, and there was no echo like in previous ships, heck even his steps were strangely quiet.

He likes it.

He spots a couple more decorations as they walk, some are odd symbols, others are pictures of animals (one kinda looked like a cow, but with mushrooms) and there are more paintings of buildings and nature scenes that look nothing like earth.

He hears clanging sounds coming from up ahead and they turn the corner into a room that has an open door that leads to other hallways and another that leads to a spacious room. The room had an orange and brown patterned carpet in the middle while the rest of the room's floor was paneled with gray colored metal, there's also what he could only describe as a furred couch sitting next to an open kitchen attachment with an island in the middle, separating the living room and kitchen.

He sees cool bird guy chilling in the kitchen area, a pile of what he thinks is ingredients next to him and chopping away at some stuff, Lola Bunny is also over there checking a screen with a bunch of scribbling words he can only assume is their language and Dino boy sitting at the island table.

The second they walk in, all three look up, and all eyes are on them, or well more accurately all eyes are on Tommy. Tommy instinctively freezes, his eyes darting around as he pulls the boys partially behind him, he looks around trying to see what he could use as a weapon. As he shifts uneasily he also tries to identify who's the biggest threat, both to him and his charges. His heart is pounding a frantic tattoo in his chest, of its drumming loud in his ears, glaring intensely at the three aliens he jumped nearly a foot in the air, when Tubbo gently patted his stomach.

Right.. food... these guys are... allies. Right.

He breathes out slowly, trying to calm his racing heart. He forces himself to untense and the others also relax. Tubbo tugs him to the island and he slowly sits down, Ranboo and Tubbo take the seats next to him, acting as a barrier between him and the other aliens and he feels grateful for it. The only reason he hasn't gone feral was thanks to Bambi and Boo so the other aliens better be damn grateful for the two younger boys.

As far as he's observed, Boo and Tubbo are the youngest in the crew, the other three are adults. He can tell, they have a.. it's just in the way they are and kinda hold themselves. All his previous.. owners displayed those weird adult vibes. There had been so many different aliens that had held him, those stick bastards were not the first to capture or trade him, he doesn't remember who was the first, but they were short, taller than Tubbo though. Then there were the second aliens... then the third...and the-

God, there was always someone who wanted a piece of him-(literally) No, he's not going to spiral down those thoughts, he's safe. He's safe, he can tell.

He doesn't feel any ill intent from them, his gut hasn't spazed out or felt like a bomb is going to go off any second. So far his gut hasn't failed him about any of the previous aliens. They were all bad, but if Tubbo and Ranboo also vouch for these guys then surely they can't be bad? It's like with Ranboo. He's a good guy. Even if the first impression was shitty, Ranboo wasn't a bad guy.

So it could be the same, Tubbo vouched for Boo. Boo was an awkward guy that he took under his wing and fed, he's also a big cat that purrs. So if both of them aren't scared of these new aliens maybe... he can tolerate them.

Also it was hard to be scared when one of them had jumped at his own Pen and screamed bloody murder.

------------------

Wilbur was talking to Phil about a blue beach on a planet one of his distant friends lives on and he wants to collect the sand from when he hears them walk into the room with Tommy. Everybody tensed up when the human tensed up, his eyes quickly were darting around rapidly as he looked for exits, weapons, and more.

Tubbo pats his belly and the simple gesture was enough to calm him. Wilbur can't get over that. The human has placed so much trust on the young teens that they can reassure and calm him with simple gestures in the presence of a complete stranger to the human. It's fascinating, truly. If it were any of them this would not work.

They all came over to the island and waited for Tommy to sit down. He sits and the other two flank him like guards, barriers against everyone else and it further relaxes the human. Wilbur breathes out some tension and continues to sip his tea.

"How are you boys doing? Had a nice rest?"

He doesn't look at the boys but they can tell he's asking about them all resting together surrounding the human. Phil grabs some plates and starts putting the assorted foods on them, each plate with a name label so none of them get confused or get the wrong plate by chance.

Tubbo buzzed happily

"Yup! It was really nice and soft. It's been awhile since I've been on a nest, Ranboos is big so we could all fit comfortably"

Phil tilts his head curiously from where he was filling the plates with food. Ranboos room is at a lower degree than Tubbos, even with a thick covering it's not enough to keep Tubbo comfortably warm without the risk of freezing up eventually.

"How'd you stay warm? You hate staying in Ranboos room for long periods of time cause it's too cold for you"

Tubbos ears pinned themselves back and he fidgets, embarrassed. Ranboo chuckles and he carefully takes the plate that Phil offers him, saying a quiet

"Thank you"

After taking a quick bite Ranboo continued speaking, answering Phil's question.

"It's because of Tommy"

Tommy looks up at him after hearing his name, making a strange questioning sound, most likely asking something along the lines of 'what's up?' if his facial expression is anything to go by. Alert and ready but not in a wary sense, more like curiosity. He was clearly wondering why his name was brought up.

Internally Wilbur winces, it couldn't be fun to be surrounded by strangers you didn't know with only two youngsters as your companions and barriers. Add on all of them talking around you and being unable to understand a single word aside from your name...well he couldn't blame the human for being so on guard most of the time. This was a nightmare scenario for anyone, frankly he was astounded the human was as calm as he was.

"And Tom- err.. He's a factor to Tubbo surviving your room... how exactly?"

The words interrupt Wilbur's musings as Techno joins them at the island. He sits next to Wilbur on the other side of the kids. He stopped himself from saying the humans name when he earned a glare, Wilbur supposed the proper introductions would be needed after all. Which was fair, again the human was already remarkably calm all things considered.

"He's really warm, he kept Tubbo warm the entire time, he even started to heat up the covers and bed after awhile. It got all almost toasty. Nothing unbearable like Netheria heat, but it was really nice"

Ranboo purred, it was really nice to sleep with company, he and Tubbo have tried having sleep overs in the past, but it never seemed to work right, his room was too cold for Tubbo and they couldn't change the temperature. Tubbos' room, while a good temp, also didn't work, the bed was too small for him and Ranboo didn't want to sleep on the ground.

The closest they could get to having a proper sleepover was to have one in the living room, while not the worst option they couldn't do the things they wanted when the adults could pop in any time they wanted for a snack or to do work. They wanted to just have some goofy kids time, just them.

Wilbur nods, remembering when Tubbo had mentioned that Tommy was warm in the medbay. While Wilbur didn't hug or touch Tommy aside from checking injuries, he could feel heat radiating from his skin.

"So the fire wasn't just to keep you warm? He was enough?"

Techno had thought that both Tubbo and the human would freeze if Tommy hadn't built the fire, so to hear otherwise was a shock to say the least. Phil shushes them and gives the rest of the plates out, handing an unnamed plate to Tommy, it had a mixture of items, he didn't know what was good or bad for the human but decided to observe what the human decided to eat.

All the food ingredients on board the ship were edible to all species and sustainable, he's hoping that at least some of said food items the human can eat safely.

"It's rude to talk while another person can't understand a word you're saying, be a little polite at least"

Phil chirps at them, Tommy looks up from his place and chirps back at him. Phil nearly coos, Wilbur can see it in his eyes and the way his wings are puffing out slightly.

They all take one bite out of their respective dishes, Tommy taking a more hesitant approach to his food but ultimately deciding to nom on a star shaped fruit.

Someone cleared their throat and all the adults look up to see Ranboo jerking his head down to Tommy while looking at them. They should try talking to him, to not ignore him and to ease him, cause Ranboo can feel the unease from Tommy. He's eating so hesitantly, like they'll take it if he eats too much or doesn't eat in a certain way.

Wilbur sighs, and puts his fork utensil down. Tommy looks up from his food at the sound, on alert. Wilbur looks at the other adults, wondering how to start, neither he or Techno seem to have any idea, but Phil takes the reins and gives a small chirp. Tommy turns at the chirp and stares at Philza, still on alert but less so, especially when Wilbur notices how Phil made his wings look extra fluffy and.. did he tilt his head and coo again?

Oh, is he trying to win cute points? Huh? Wilbur is about to scold Phil for doing something so foolish, and complain about how there was no way that would work when he hears a small quiet... airy coo? It came from the human but his eyes were wide, and he was slumped forward, like he wanted to get closer to Phil.

Guess looking cute and fluffy works.

Phil stops the head tilt and straightens a bit, he takes a taloned hand and places it on his heart, in the middle of his chest.

"Philza"

Tommy perks up, and stutters out a reply, his voice coming out broken, but clear.

"Phil-za"

Tommy tries again, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration and this time he got it right, though his vocal cords were clearly not made to speak Phils language. Still aside from the airy accent, his name was repeated perfectly.

"Philza"

Phil trills in approval and it earns a small smile from the human. Nobody flinched at the smile and the tension eased. Techno huffs a quiet sound and gets the humans attention,

"Technoblade"

The face Tommy pulled was enough to make Tubbo and Ranboo laugh. The best Wilbur could describe it was disbelief.

"Tekt...Tach.."

Techno was correcting the human to the best he could and Tommy was growing frustrated.

"Teacher"

"That's not even close"

The table shook with how hard Wilbur hit it, laughing out loudly, Tommy seemed to smile at this display, looking around and seeing the other aliens smiling in their own ways and giving their own amused noises of laughter. He doesn't know what he said, without a doubt, but it had to be funny if everyone was laughing.

Techno sighs but snaps his paw, grabbing Tommy's attention again, this time Tommy seems to have more energy from everyone laughing.

"Let's try again, Tech-"

Techno starts off again.

"Tech-"

"-No-"

"-No-"

"-Bl-"

"-B...Bl-"

"-Ade"

"-ade"

"Technoblade"

"Shish Kebab"

"No"

Tubbo and Ranboo roar in laughter, Tubbo nearly chokes on the flowers he was munching on. Wilbur makes a high pitched screech and if it wasn't for Phils wing keeping him steady he would have fallen off the chair.

Technos ears twitched down, his face neutral but the crew can tell that he's embarrassed. Tommy seemed to decide to give Techno some mercy and dub him

"Techno".

It was shortened and everyone on the ship called him that anyways. The idea of someone walking around and calling him by the full name felt weird.

Wilbur nervously cleared his own throat, then promptly lost his courage when Tommy looked at him. His eyes were narrowed, then they softened slightly, seemingly sensing his tension, but then narrowed again though this time it was more thoughtful than anything. Like he was deciding whether or not to give Wilbur a chance to speak, or if he liked him at all.

Ranboo nudged Tommy to stop glaring and Tommy said something sharply before looking back at Wilbur and waiting. Wilbur really hopes that's the go ahead.

"Wilbur"

He says his name carefully, keeping his tail still and pointing to himself. To relax himself he eats a bit of his food, a mixture of meats. This set the chain reaction of the others eating their plates again, waiting for Tommy to pick up on the name.

"W.. Wol.."

Tommy huffs, frustrated.

"Wil..."

Wilbur nods excitedly,

"Yea, you almost got it! Wilbur, Wil-bur"

Tommy's face scrunches up, a concentrated expression.

"Bald"

"That doesn't even sound the same!"

Tommy only gave him a look that spelled too much mischief and had a smile on his lips.

"Wilbur!"

Tommy gave a cheer, making himself too fucking innocent for purposely screwing up the name.

Wilbur sighs, tired but content in a weird sorta way, dare he say it, fond. He's kinda fond of the guy, maybe, he hasn't quite figured that out yet.

They all wait for Tommy to decide whether they deserve his introduction in return. Man, do humans really do this to introduce themselves to each other? It's so tense, waiting to be worthy of being given his name.

Tommy places his hand above where Wilbur could only assume is his heart, and smiles at them.

"Tommy"

-------------------

Philza, Techno, and Wilbur.

Faces he can now place a name to. Tommy shouldn't feel this... this relaxed and content. Not with these adult aliens, creatures that could possibly claw and tear at him any second. Sure he's strong as hell in space for some reason, but the bunn- Techno, Techno looks like he knows how to fight. There's a big difference between using brute human strength and an actual experienced fighter.

He looks around at them and he just can't see them as anything like his previous handlers, they have no armor, no weapons that are sharp or brimming with electricity, no hostile glares and tension in their bodies, ready to jump him.

They are all just sitting on this island table, eating a variety of food, they'd even given him a plate filled with an even bigger assortment of food. They are talking and laughing, poking fun at Wilbur if Tubbo pointing at him indicates anything. He doesn't feel left out like he was at first, he... he likes this.

They are acting like one big alien mess of a family.

Is.. is he a part of it now?

No, it's way too soon. And he doesn't want to put such hope into that thought, they could be taking him to a more suitable place to live for all he knew.

But in the meantime, he can enjoy being in their presence, without the threat of testing, and cruel aliens that want to carve his skin open.

Again.

He spots a small bright red berry on Tubbos plate, it looks so much like a cherry that he stares at it. He slowly reaches a hand out and when Tubbo was too busy talking to Wilbur (note, still taunting) he snatches the berry and tosses it in his mouth before Tubbo could even buzz.

He chews on it and stops abruptly.

It tastes exactly like a cherry.

He doesn't get to think much on it when he is tackled off the seat with Tubbo sitting on his chest, buzzing angrily. The others get startled but the only one 'calm' seemed to be Ranboo, who only stares at them as he continues chewing on his assortment of meats.

Filled with much more energy than he had prior, he gently wrestled Tubbo, letting Tubbo gain the upper hand but still putting on a show, laughing when he see's that Tubbos tail is wagging happily.

He sees Ranboo trying to keep the adults calm but at the moment he doesn't give a shit. He hasn't been able to act like a kid in so damn long, if the alien child wants to play then he is also playing dammit. Screw the adults.

----------------------

Stolen reports have come in about the escaped 'packages'. Sure, let's call a living breathing sentient person a 'package'. if you ask him, They should count themselves lucky that he isn't dealing with them himself. He has no idea how he's the same species as those vile slimy cretins.. He can't believe the amount of crimes they commit on others, young or old.

He checks the ship's status, making sure the reactor is at full capacity check, water, supplies, everything that runs through the ship. He stretches himself, not unlike how a human would, though no bones pop, still it is satisfying to do.

He hears footsteps coming his way.

"Hey, have you read the latest report we managed to nab about? It's pretty interesting the amount of damage that was done to the ship"

His fellow crewmate and long time friend, an Archea, a species of lava dwellers that thrived on lava filled planets.

He groans, a reaction his species would frown at him for.

"Don't even get me started on it, didn't the Galactic forces arrest all of them?"

"Well yea, but they still sent a report that we caught wind of. Turns out they really want to hunt down the pack-"

"Human, they're a human and don't call them a package, the last thing we need is to act like them"

He feels the overwhelming need to spit out the last word. Dreamons are, in his opinion, a disgraceful race. They can boast all they want about their knowledge and advancements, but he won't stand for them hoarding it like financial banking aliens or companies that try to drain you of every credit you're worth.

"So what's the plan? We really can't just let them take the human, you know what they will do to them. They won't return him back home"

He gives it some thought, unlike many sane aliens, he's actually very comfortable with the idea of being near a human in general. He was known for having vast knowledge about humans, he never tells anyone where he gets his information, only that it's from a very reliable source.

"The plan is to find the human, they want to track them down like an animal? Fine, but we'll beat them to it"

Confident he turns back to his friend who is giving him a long look, as if searching for any possible sign that this is a joke and they aren't going after a wild human that went rogue on a ship.

His friend sighs, releasing a small puff of smoke before running back to the bridge.

"Georrrrge!! get the ship ready! Dream's getting a pet human!"

Offended, Dream chases after him

"When the hell did I say pet!? Did you not hear a SINGLE thing I said?"

The SMP ship rumbles the docking station as it lifts off the ground, joining the star-filled sky to begin its mission to find a rogue human.

---------------------

Notes: What's this??? Dream Team??? Possibly a friendly dream team????? It's more likely than you think!

I can't believe i really called Techno "Lola Bunny" i feel cursed but i'm not changing it XD
