George and the new girl hit it off, while Dream is left being the third wheel.

"Hello?" The unfamiliar girl's voice speaks, she was British.

"Amelia, took you long enough to join!" George chuckles into his mic.

Amelia? Dream never heard of this "Amelia"

They both made small talk, Dream sat there idly, not knowing whether he should butt in. He tried to shake off the disappointment, I guess tonight wasn't the night he told George.

It took a while for George to realize that Dream was still there. "Oh Dream, this is my friend Amelia, we met a few years ago from a Discord server. She's great, you'll love her"

He wasn't so sure about love . "Whats up? I'm Dream," he said with the most enthusiasm he had left in him-- which was not a lot, evidently.

She giggles, "Dream! I've heard of you, Georgie here talks a lot about you!"

He grimaced when she said Georgie, it didn't sit right on her tongue. He didn't mean to be protective, but that was what he called George. Although, he was intrigued. George talked about him a lot...That was a good sign?

George turned defensive, "That's a lie," he said blankly.

Dream's stomach sunk, maybe he didn't talk about him.

Amelia giggled, again . Dream noticed she sure did that a lot around George, and he didn't like it.

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

Rolling his eyes, he waited for this yip-yap to end. She seemed awfully nice, but for some reason Dream could not bring himself to like her for the life of him.

Was he jealous?

That's stupid, why would he be jealous? It's probably a one time call, they seemed to not have talked in forever. Convincing himself with that thought made him feel a tad bit better.

They cracked many jokes, Dream inserted himself a few times, but he wanted her gone. He wanted to speak to George alone. He felt so left out, it was strange.

After a few hours of bonding--well, more-so Dream third wheeling their conversation, George had come up with an "awesome" idea.

"Dream, you should totally white-list Amelia to the Dream SMP server!"

Amelia gasped, it was obvious she really wanted to be a part of it. She tried humbling herself by saying that it would be too kind, but George insisted.

He hated it when George insisted, he knew that he could never say no to him.

They fell quiet, waiting for Dream to decide. He gulped, "Uh, yeah...sure that's cool."

Both of them celebrated, Dream knew he should be happy for her. Clearly she was George's close friend, nothing more? But from the moment George had said those bitter-sweet words, it was only the beginning of a downwards spiral.

He eventually tuned them out, they were making plans and talking about gibberish he didn't care to listen to. His mood had been wrecked, he didn't get the chance to tell him.

Eyeing his black sweater, George's scent filled his nostrils. Letting out a puffy sigh, he finally felt hopeless. He just wanted to tell George how he felt about him, more than anything in the world.

George meant a lot to him, he kept him going every day. They were best buds, they took every step of the way together.

He wondered if maybe there was a possibility George didn't feel the same way.

Maybe he had been making it up this whole time?

George snapped him out of his thoughts. "Dream? Hello?"

"Guys, this has been great. I'm gonna head to bed, nice meeting you.. Amelia." He didn't even give a chance to say anything before disconnecting from the call.

He had a bad feeling about George and Amelia.

-

Amelia this.

Amelia that.

Amelia, Amelia, Amelia everything.

Dream was sick of hearing her name everywhere he went. Twitter, Twitch, Youtube, everywhere. People were gushing over her, the new member to the SMP.

George had been talking to her a lot more often, his sleep schedule adjusted for her. He streamed with her more often since they knew each other. The audience liked their dynamic a lot, it didn't take long for the shipping to start.

He didn't disagree, their content was undoubtedly entertaining, and usually this wouldn't bother him, but the way George lit up around her frustrated him. He wanted to make George feel that way.

What did Amelia have that he didn't?

Rubbing his fingers against his temples, he felt himself spiraling again. As much as he wished he didn't care, he felt so down about it. His only solution was to avoid it all, hoping it would all die down soon.

He was frustrated, why did he have to fucking care?

Dream, wanna hop on my stream? Everyone's asking for you

George had texted him, suspicious timing. He wanted to say no, he should've said no. But he didn't. Instead, he let his silly emotions control him.

Sure

He joined the Discord call, interrupting George's conversation with Amelia.

"Let me just place this next to yours... perfect!" Amelia giggled. He switched tabs to look at Georges stream to check what she was talking about.

She was inside of his Minecraft home, and just placed a pink bed next to his. They didn't even try to hide their flirting anymore, George's face was flushed.

"Wow--" George stuttered, Dream could tell by the glimpses of his eye that he felt something towards her.

The bitter feeling of envy stung his tongue, his lips parted to let out a small sigh. Grabbing the arms of his chair, he leaned back.

His head hurt. He didn't want to helplessly watch George fall for someone right in front of his eyes. They didn't even acknowledge him until he spoke up.

"Guys, I can hear you," he said weakly, failing to make it seem lighthearted.

George's head perked up. "Oh.. Dream, you're here! We are just fooling around in the SMP, if you wanna join feel free."

He half-lied, "I think I'm gonna sit this one out, I'm tired."

Dream wasn't tired physically, he was tired of pretending like all the silly jokes George cracked with Amelia didn't hold any meaning to him. It was killing him, the jealousy.

After a few more hours, Amelia eventually left, "George, I just wanna say a big thank you for this past week, it's been insane streaming with you! I'll be taking a small break, so I thought I'd let you guys and the fans know. I'll talk to you guys later, bye!"

George muted himself directly after she said her goodbye, he was already ending his stream. They didn't even get a chance to talk to each other this entire stream, Dream felt disappointed, he looked forward to talking to him.


After going offline, George sighed. Dream was still in the call. It was just the two of them, alone.
