'Please just one more chance?'

Tommy put his hands on the rim off the box and stood up on his tippy toes to look inside the cardboard cube.
There laying in a fetal position, was a little boy seeming to be atleast 3. Tommy stumbled backward in suprise, clearly not expecting a child to be in the box. The action caused the box to tip over. The boy rolled out and hit the wall with a soft thud, he blinked whilst his eyes watered.
-+ PHIL POV +-
I watched in pure dumbfounded shock as this strange boy gently brought both of his hands up to his cheeks and softly smacked them, babbling something about 'No sad! Happy bee!' He shook his head taking a deep breath seeming calm. Just then he seemed to realize he wasn't at home, looking around confused. His eyes landed on Tommy, who was hiding behind Will, he stood up and toddled over. "Dad who is he?" Will asked unsurprisingly the first one to say anything. Clearing my throat I answered, "I don't know, but I found him in a box and it started to rain. I couldn't leave him could I?" The boy turned his attention from trying to coax Tommy out from behind Wilbur to me. "So uh, what's your name kid?" He seemed to consider the question then grinned, "Tubbo!" What a curious name.Techno blinked, a small smile growing on his face. He seemed to like this Tubbo kid. "Do you wanna stay with us?" I asked the kid. He looked puzzled by the question, "But what about Papa goat?" Papa goat? That must be his father. He doesn't look like a goat, was his mom human and his dad half goat? I'm so confused. Will then decided to speak my thoughts, "Papa goat? You don't look like a goat though!" Tubbo blinked at him, then shook his head roughly. Two fluffy ears appeared where his human ones used to be, and if you looked hard enough two little stumps stuck out of his brown mop. He took off his shoes to reveal little hooves instead of feet.

Techno clapped. Me, Wilbur, and Tommy however were dumbfounded at our new goat like buddy. "Bud I don't think Papa goat is coming back." Tubbo looked appalled by this news, as it sunk in you could hear to cogs turning in his brain. Tears ran down his cheeks as the news lodged itself into his head. "B-but Papa said he'd never leave... And what about uncle Q!?" Poor thing. "I'm sure they love you, but maybe they had to give you away to save you from something..." he wiped his tears and went over to the long forgotten box, picking up his bee friend. "Then I'll stay." He seemed to decide. Techno walked over and picked him up, a wide grin exposing his rather sharp canines. **I HEADCANON HE (Techno) WAS A SWEET AND QUIET KID UNTIL THE VOICES KICKED IN (he's around 9 rn and the voices I hc came in at about 11**
