George & The Dream

One

June 2nd, 2021

George lived a rather boring life. Boring might not even be the word for it. To him, there seemed to be so much he could be doing. However, here he sat, waking up in the same bed, in the same village, with the same old people. The small village of Terraville was not a boring place, but nothing seemed to satisfy George there. Most of the residents there, George didn't mind. Even the extravagant and loud Tommy and his best friend, Tubbo, didn't bother him. As George laced up his boots, he made his way down those far too familiar wooden stairs in his house he shared with his best friend he called Sapnap. His real name might as well be history, as George would never call him anything but his silly childhood nickname. The two had lived alone together in Terraville for as long as they can remember. George found himself glancing out the window to see Sapnap walking into the house from presumably getting some fresh air.

"Morning, George," Sapnap smiled as he shut the door behind him, "You're up early."

George shrugged, "Have to go out to run errands. Would you like to join me?"

"No, thanks," Sapnap shook his head heading towards those god forsaken stairs, "I'm gonna do some work on some designs then head back to sleep, unless you need me to come."

Sapnap was a tool maker, he was one of the best of Terraville. He spent a lot of his time using fire to shape perfect tools for the residents of the village to use.

"It's okay, Sap, don't worry," George replied with a smile, "I'll be fine on my own."

"You sure?"

George nodded.

"Okay," Sapnap nodded in return, "See you soon."

With that, George stepped out the door and took a deep breath. Terraville smelled of freshly baked bread and fresh water. There were a few things George loved about this place, but everything was getting older and older everyday. Closing the door, George walked down into the village. Not many people seemed to be out yet, the sun had only risen a few hours ago, so George expected as much.

"George!" called a familiar voice, "George! Nice to see you out of the house for once, mate."

George turned his head to see Eret, a very friendly villager.

"Good morning, Eret," George gave a warm smile, "Are you well?"

"Very well, thank you," responded the tall Eret, "And you?"

George shrugged, "Doing okay, I guess I can't complain. I'm just hoping to get through this errand run without any problems."

"Understandable, mate. Luckily Tommy is still sound asleep," Eret and George laughed.

George cleared his throat, "Yeah, I suppose so," he said, "Well, I must be on my way. Have a great day, Eret!"

"You too, George! Let me know if you need anything," Eret said turning away, then quickly turning again, "Oh! Send Sapnap a 'hello' from me."

"You got it." George said, waving. After the nice conversation with Eret, George reminded himself to get with business. As much as he enjoyed conversation with the decent people of Terraville, there were definitely a handful who he would rather avoid. He headed to the bread stand, collecting some fresh bread from the young Tubbo. George quickly ventured over to the vegetable and meats stand, purchasing a nice supply of food for supper for himself and Sapnap from the sweet man known as Bad. Although he would've loved to speak to his kind friend, George hurried to the bookstore. Out of everything in Terraville, the bookstore was George's favorite destination.

"Morning," a monotone voice said, as a tall man with long pink hair walked towards George from around the front desk, "It's nice to see you again, George."
