Dream had unbuckled his sword sheath and left it in a pile off to the side, along with his crossbow that had been strapped to his back. Tubbo was also standing there to guard the weapons, and to stay out of the way. No matter how many times he shook his head and told Tommy not to, he ignored him.

That was the thing about Tommy, he always seemed to let his emotions get in the way of logic.

    Tommy had made sure that Dream stood the farthest from the unguarded entrance to the castle, and himself the closest.

    "On the count of three," Tubbo shakily announced. "One..."

    Tommy put his fists up as if he were ready to fight.

    "Two..."

    If all went to plan though, he wouldn't need to fight.

    "Three!"

    Dream charged first. Shocked at how fast he ran, he hesitated before bolting up the castle steps and into the interior. He prayed Tubbo would follow him. Now all he had to do was find his discs.

    Sapnap was about to ask George something when he heard commotion coming from the first floor. Then, Dream burst in.

    "Sapnap, I need you to get me those music discs from my room. The three in the drawer next to the bed. And George," he stopped and looked at him, the mask masking his features, "get dressed. Meet back here. There's a sixteen year old running around the castle, by the way. If you see him, kill him."

    Neither of them asked questions and did what they were told.

Sapnap sprinted to Dream's room, which was down the hallway from his own. Like usual, the door was locked. Dream always kept the door locked. He was about to regretfully break the door down when a hand pushed him aside. He turned to see George, dressed and with a key in hand.

    "I think I left my glasses in here. Good timing, huh," he laughed.

    Confused, Sapnap didn't respond. Sure enough, George opened the door, and his glasses were perched on the bedside table. Sapnap grabbed the music discs from the drawer and ran back with George to the study.

    He handed Dream the music discs and watched as he pulled out a pencil and wrote "Mellohi" on a purple and white one. Then he realized what he was doing.

The music disc was now almost identical to the real one labeled "Mellohi". The only difference was that the fake ones looked more worn, and the color was slightly faded.

From a distance they would look the same. Dream did the same with the green disc, labeling it "Cat". There was now a replica of two of the real discs. He left the five other discs untouched and didn't notice one was missing.

Why did he have Sapnap get him three for him to label only two?

    Pocketing the three fake discs and shoving the seven real ones in a desk drawer, he turned and left, leaving George and Sapnap alone again.

    That reminded him. He didn't have a key to Dream's room, so why does George? And why were his glasses in his room?

Fake discs go brrrrrr
Happy Tuesday </3
