~ Chapter 4 ~

 The next few weeks seemed to fly by, with the cluster of streams here and there. I had been told quite a lot that I had a beautiful singing voice - someone once said it resembled an angel's, I didn't believe them. I started to do more 'Just Chatting' streams, ones where I could sing to my heart's content, or talk about something with my chat.

I still streamed Minecraft, but I started branching out more. I started playing other games like Terraria, Among Us, and FNAF. Most of my fans greatly appreciated the new exploration into other types of games and streams. Since I had become more of a variety streamer, my fanbase started to grow, and although this was great, it also meant even more questions about George and more toxicity.

About a month after I started branching out, my fan base had reached its peak, and my older fans wanted more Minecraft streams. I didn't want to forget my roots, so I went back to streaming Minecraft more often. I was still partially known for the other games I played, but I went back to being mainly a Minecraft streamer again.

I would stream with lots of my friends and even my brother quite a bit. One extremely tiring night, after I had been streaming for around 4 hours, I received a DM from a certain YouTuber. He invited me to create a video with him, obviously it was going to be a joke video, but I was still flattered by the offer. 'Minecraft Speedrunner vs. Minecraft Builder,' was going to be the title of the video. When I first heard what he had in mind, I was shocked. My eyebrows furrowed, coming to a point in the center, but I still laughed. It wasn't going to be like his usual 'Minecraft Speedrunner vs...' videos, it was going to be something I was more fit to, a build off.

The date we picked to record wasn't for a few months or so, due to the fact that we were both quite busy. Dream had lots of content to create and videos to edit and analyze, while I had been working with the one and only, Wilbur Soot. I was planning a surprise for my fans, they had always been there when I needed them, and - for the most part - weren't too toxic or rude towards me. This and my newfound appreciation for music were put together, and I had thought I could write a small song for them.

I had asked Wilbur to help me, seeing as he had already had a decent knowledge about writing music, due to the surplus amount of songs he has written. The lyrics were written in about three days. It wasn't very difficult to write, considering everything that had happened in the past month. I thought about my feelings towards being constantly compared to my brother, and only being known for his popularity. I had explained what happened in my streams, the donations, the questions, the insults. Everything.

The hardest part was coming up with the music for the song, naturally. It took a while, and me learning how to play guitar - thanks to Wilbur. After another few weeks, we finally figured out the music, and I learned a new skill. All that was left to do at that point was to record the song. I didn't have anywhere to record, so I recorded using the mic at my setup.

Since I had never recorded myself singing, - let alone while playing the guitar - I was pretty nervous. I took a long breath in through my nose, and breathed out through my mouth. Then I began.
