The Start Of Something

Amelia

Time in quarantine moved both quickly and slowly. My relationship with Phil had developed to the point that I had adjusted my sleep schedule to his in order to spend his day with him, and we'd often sleep in a voice call together. I'd take part in a lot of Wilbur's random YouTube videos, and I'd do a few one off videos of my own just to keep myself going.

"Amelia, how do you feel about SMP's with story lines?" Wilbur asked.

"If you're talking about the Dream SMP," I  leaned back in my chair as I looked at my second monitor, making sure I stayed in frame of my camera. "I think it's alright."

"Would you want to take part in it?"

"Isn't that up to Dream?"

"Dream actually wanted me to ask if you'd join. You'd kind of be a vital part of the event that's coming up soon."

"How would I be vital?"

"You'd make the scene that I have in mind a lot more emotional on all sides no matter who's point of view you'd be seen from."

"So you want to use me for views?"

"If it makes you feel better, Phil may also be used for views for this particular occurrence."

I couldn't help but laugh. "You got Phil to agree to joining?"

"Should I write you into the script now that you know Phil is joining?"

I could hear the smile in his voice as he spoke, making me giggle. "Sure, Will. Write me into the script."

His small noise of triumph made my stream chat go wild. I looked to my second monitor to see a Discord message from both him and Phil. I looked at Wilbur's message first to find an invite to the Dream SMP Discord server. I accepted it and was surprised at how well organized the server was. I opened Phil's message to see him asking if I wanted to play a few games of Rocket League with him.

"Phil, if you're watching the stream, you can join the call." I looked directly at my webcam, raising an eyebrow. "I don't really know why you ask to join my streams."

"Maybe because I like to be polite and ask!" Phil's voice yelled in my ear seconds after the sound of him connecting to the call.

"You don't need to ask! The only person I have ever told to ask before joining my stream is Tommy! I need a slight warning before that loud child screams in my ears!"

Both Wilbur and Phil laughed.

"You aren't streaming right now, right?"

"I'm too tired to stream."

"Alright. I'm going to give you a quick rundown of your character for the SMP. Are you awake enough for that?"

"I guess, Will. Could you hurry up, though? I'd like to go to bed."

"Oh. If you'd like to go to bed already, I can just send you a message or two that you can read over in the morning."

"Thanks, Will."

"Sleep tight, Amelia."

"You, too."

He ended the call, and I sighed as I laid back in bed. My entire body ached from what I had been doing earlier in the day, so relaxing was difficult. I took a deep breath as I answered the incoming call from Phil. He kept me calm as I cried from the pain, and it wasn't long before he convinced me to lay on my stomach. We both were soon yawning from exhaustion, and I closed my eyes as I fell into the same slumber that stole him from me.
