Turn Back Time: It Was Never Meant To Be

Chapter 6

Tubbo slept over afterwards, not wanting to leave Tommy to deal with the fear about his discs. It was after midnight when they finally drifted to sleep.

When they woke up from the sun shining in and the birds chirping, they thought the discs had made it through the night, and Tommy would keep them in his pocket for another day. Tommy looked over to the table next to his bed right as Tubbo gasped. The sleeve of his seven discs was gone. The window behind the table was fogged over from the coldness outside, and drawn on the foggy surface was a smiley face. The face drawn on Dream's mask.

Tommy and Tubbo, now very much awake, tossed on their clothes and jackets, and headed for the castle. Tommy was filled with anger, so much that he practically ran to the castle, Tubbo barely keeping up with him. He didn't even care that mud had splashed all over his shoes and pants from the dirt paths.

When they got there, Tubbo had to hold Tommy back from pushing past the guards that blocked the entrance to the castle. He resorted to yelling instead.
"DREAM YOU FUCKING GREEN BITCH GIVE ME BACK MY DISCS OR I SWEAR--"

Instead of Dream, Sapnap appeared. "I told you I would see you soon." He was wearing the same cloak as the day before. The white headband stood out strikingly from his black hair and tan skin.

"You're a bitch too," Tommy tells him.

"Tommy, man, you have to calm yourself," Tubbo says.

Sapnap motions for the guards to move aside from the entrance and moves towards Tommy. "I guess I have to thank you for spying. It made it easier on us."

Tommy spit at him. In retaliation, Sapnap punched him in the stomach. Tommy flew back into Tubbo and gasped for air. More calmly, partly because he couldn't breathe, he said "I want to speak to Dream."

Sapnap thought for a moment. "Mmmm, no."

Standing up straight and once again consumed by anger, Tommy charged him. "Oh you--"

He was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Tommy stopped, dropped his fist, and looked up onto the steps to see Dream. "It's a waste of time to be fighting a child, Sap. Leave us," he says.

Sapnap looks back to the two boys, then grudgingly stomps up the stairs and disappears into the castle. With him went the guards blocking the entrance. Ideas started to flow into Tommy's head.

"I have to admit, it was pretty easy," Dream said. He didn't have his cloak on, and his blond hair rustled in the wind.

"I hate you," was all Tommy said.

Dream laughed. "Yeah, a lot of people do. I suppose you're here to get back the discs?"

"No shit. So if you wouldn't mind handing them over..."

"Dude, this is Dream you're talking to! He can kill you in a minute!" Tubbo whisper-yelled into Tommy's ear. He ignored him.

Dream scoffed. "Can't do that. They are safe and sound inside. If that's the only thing you're here for, then you can leave."

The two dots and curved line for a face stared back at Tommy. Turning to Tubbo, he whispered "follow my lead."

Tubbo's eyes widened, and said nothing back. Tommy looked back to Dream and smiled. "Fist fight. You and me, Green Man. No armor or weapons. If I win, I get my discs back."

Just like he wanted, Dream stepped down the stairs and moved in front of Tommy. He looked at him up and down, and laughed. "You don't stand a chance."

"Do you accept?" Tommy pressed on.

"What the hell are you doing?" Tubbo again whisper-yells. Tommy once again ignores him.

"I accept."

Sapnap had not left the scene. He had overheard everything. Now, he made his way to Dream's study where the discs lay on his desk.

There were seven altogether, ranging in colors from red to black. He picked up the green one and turned it over in his hand. In the middle, the word "Cat" was written. Dream wouldn't notice if one was missing, would he?

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Panicking, he shoved the green disc into his cloak pocket and turned around to see George.

He looked like he had just woken up. His brown hair stuck out in odd places and his clothes were wrinkled. His white glasses were gone, and his head looked wrong without them. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"I wanted to see them for myself," he responded, referring to the discs.

"I thought they would be shiner. Not going to lie, I was disappointed when Dream showed them to me." George said, approaching him.

"Do you really think they're enchanted? Like you said, it doesn't look like it." Normally, items that have been enchanted had a purple-tinted glimmer to them, and none of the discs had any.

"Well," George sighed, "I guess that's up to Dream to figure out."

Once again, Dream doesn't actually live in the castle on the streams. In the streams, Dream just kills Tommy to get the discs but obviously I cant make that realistic, so instead I made it so it's kind of like a race for the discs. The outcome in the end will be the same though. I tried to keep it as close as I could but the stream was just them killing each other back and forth and it just would not work for my version.

Make sure to take care of yourselves <3
