⭒⭒escape has followed dream on twitter⭒⭒

I had by now spent hours watching Dream's content. To be perfectly honest, I liked his videos, and I could see the hype over his Minecraft Manhunts. Some of the things he did blew my mind, and there was a high level of skill and practice in his parkour from the Minecraft Championship videos I watched. He was definitely much faster than I was. Maybe that could be a stream or video idea.

Flumping on the bed, I pulled out my phone and tapped on Twitter. I followed Dream, and then sent a message to him asking if he wanted to record a Minecraft video together sometime. With that, I tossed my phone away and got up. I wanted to do something to pass the time, maybe find some new games and test them out for my channel, edit some videos, or something of the sort.

But I was feeling like Minecraft today, it had been a while, so maybe I would play some creative and see what I could build, or I could go on survival and try to beat the game. 

Options, options. 

Eventually, I decided on creative mode; I didn't really feel like killing mobs, and maybe building a rainbow house, or some sort of stupid build, would help me take my mind off Youtube and Twitch for a while. So, I sat in my chair and pulled up Minecraft. I turned on some music in the background from my Minecraft Chill playlist on Spotify and turned on the music in-game as well. However, just as I was about to start playing, ready to load up a new world, my phone chimed.

I sighed and picked it up, and my eyes widened. Hurridly, I tapped out my password and opened Twitter. There, sat a message from Dream.

Dreamwastaken: hey! i saw your DM and i thought that it would be cool to do that. if we could set up a date and time that would be great!

I swallowed, I had not been expecting that at all; and that too so fast, it had barely been five minutes and I had already gotten a response. Quickly composing another DM, I sent in my confirmation.

EscapeAway: Most times work for me :) We can collab really anytime you'd like!

I sent it and turned back to my screen, but almost instantly my phone dinged again.

Dreamwastaken: we can discuss this on discord if you'd like?

EscapeAway: Yep! That works :P My discord is Escape #0000

Dreamwastaken: great, i'll send you a friend request

Still in shock, I turned off my music and logged out of Minecraft. Tabbing to the Discord tab, I opened my friend request list, and sure enough, there sat a request from Dream himself at the top of my list. Hands shaking, I accepted.

Dream

hey it's dream

I slumped back in my chair, "holy shit," I cursed out loud. Did I really just do that? Did I just get a collab with Dream? It almost seemed unreal. I composed myself; I really needed to calm down, it was just a collab, not some Earth-shattering event. I didn't need to act like an overeager fangirl just because I met a big content creator. Right now, I had to figure out what we could do for the video. Cracking my knuckles out of habit, I began typing.

Escape is typing...

Escape

Hi Dream! Since you're down for the collab, would you like to discuss some ideas?

Dream

yeah, so, what were you thinking

Escape

I was thinking a parkour stream or video?

Dream

ofc

that seems not too bad

Escape

Great! Would you like to do it on an MCC map?

Dream

sure! i guess this means we're friends now

right?

My hands stilled. Friends...? I let out a huff of laughter; that progressed a lot quicker than I expected, but Dream seemed nice already.

I didn't want to leave him hanging, so I typed out a quick "ofc! " and sent it. He replied cheerfully, and the conversation flowed even better from there.

We got to know each other a bit, but decided not to do any actually parkour till later. 

Once our goodbyes were said, I turned off my lights and just went straight to bed. Screw Minecraft, what I needed right now was a nap. It was only just getting dark, but I was exhausted, the weariness of the day catching up to me.

Which reminded me that I had to check Twitter, I had promised to collect questions for my next Q & A after all. I groaned and just decided to shove it into tomorrow. That was a problem for future me.

I closed my eyes, promising myself a quick nap. Soon, I was dead to the world.
