This happens in the events of the last chapter
–––––––––––––––
The sun had risen into a beautiful day! The birds chirping, the distant buzz of livelyness in the city. And most of all back pain. Dream hadn't slept the best last night, there wasn't an actual bed in the treehouse. There was a small armchair. But that would have made sleeping 10x worse. So last night, he had slept on the wooden floor. Dream looked out from the small window, in the treehouse and saw a cat.
How strange of a cat to be out of the city. Maybe it was lost? Both thoughts Dream and thought. He grabbed his things and began to decend from the tree. As he began getting closer and closer, he realised the cat was a tabby. Soon as he got to the last 3 steps on the ladder before he jumped down. The cat had now seen him, and was fully aware he was there. But it didn't run, it just stood there, staring right back at Dream. He walked over to it cautiously still not wanting it to run away.
The cat ran up to him and stracthed at his jeans. "Patches?" Dream said dumbfounded. Had his cat just found him from thousands of miles? It only purred in response. Dream picked the cat up at eye level and stared it straight in the eyes. "It is you Patches!" He exclaimed, happily cuddling it. "Your such a brave cat!" Dream cooed. He really did love Patches, she was the only thing he had.
Dream had found her on the side of the road when she was only kitten. Patches was scruffed up, she had mud and blood stuck in her fur. She looked like she hadn't eaten in days, she was extremely thin. Dream had taken her to a small stream and washed her. She was a very beautiful cat, or at least to him. From then on he looked after her until she could look after herself. But even after that Patches would always come back to him, so when he left Patches followed him.
"Okay Patches, I'm was about to go into town, you could come with me or wait here. What do you choose?" Dream said to the cat. Patches walked up to the tree and rubbed herself on it. From that he knew she wasn't going to follow him. So he set of in the direction of the city. It wasn't a very long walk to the city, you had to walk over a small stream of water and past some trees. Eventually he was in a side street of city centre. He noted what street he was on then walked on.
The city centre was abundant of small shops filled with little knick knacks that were very over priced. Instead of shopping there he went further into the city, to the market. The market had cheap things for sale in every stall. Food, furniture, supplies, they had everything you would need. Dream strolled down the streets looking for the cheapest food they had, until a quaint shop, filled to the brim with food and camping supplies spiked his interest. Dream walked around the shop a little to see what was the cheapest. Eventually he had bought a tent, a few packets of chips, a pan and a box of matches. Surely this would cost a lot? Only $5, this did dent his money though, but it didn't matter he now had better things to survive off of.
It was only 12 O'clock and he was aimlessly walking around the city, trying to familiarise himself to it. Dream had put his hands in his pockets only to realise, his compass was warm. He instantly took it out of his pocket, south-west, Dream darted in that direction. He had only looked down a fraction before he tripped over.
'I'm heading straight for the floor' is what Dream thought. 'I'm going to smash my mask!' He panicked, but a fall like this can't breck anything. There was a small man Infront of him who had also fallen. There was dirt and small chunks of terracotta surrounding the two of them. "S-sorry" Dream says before he stands up again and starts sprinting south-west. He ran for a solid 3 minutes in that direction without looking down. Soon he slowed to a stop and looked at his compass. North-east. He had just ran past his soulmate. The adrenaline must have got to him, and he didn't notice the compass cooling.
Dream turned around, no one was there. Had the person he just ran into his soulmate? No, couldn't be! Unless... Either way Dream jogged back to where the two fell over. He looked down at the ground, still earthy from the dirt. He followed his compass all the way to a motel. No matter where Dream stood, it would point to this building. "Found you" Dream said out loud, and with those two words it began raining. "Until next time, George."
He walked out of the city in the rain just watching his compass slightly moving as he walked towards east. Dream eventually arrived at his make-shift campsite, he found Patches sleeping closely next to the tree. Unfortunately Dream had pet here and she woke up. "Have you eaten?" Dream asked Patches. She didn't nod, meow or even purr. "Do I need to get you something?" She then meowed and walked up to Dreams leg. "I'll go get you a dead bird." He said sighing.
