Sapnap and I reached the house and I was angry. "Sapnap?" I say.

"Hm?" he responds.

"Its like 5 am. I'm just gonna go to the training area." He says.

"Okay. Can I come with you?" He asks.

"If you want. If I'm being honest I'm just going to take my anger out on the punching bag." I say. He nods. I throw a change of clothes in a backpack and we walk to the base. We get there and take my armor off and make my way to the punching bag. I started punching to let out my anger. It didn't work as well as I wish it had but it could be worse.

What the fuck. There is no way this is happening. I should've killed him when I had the chance. Everything seemed like it was looking up too.

Rage fueled my punches. Punching the bag seemed to work but not well enough. I heard the bag chain break.

"FUCK!" I shout. I hear footsteps from behind me.

"[y/n]?" I hear.

"What do you-" I begin to say. Then I realize it's George. "Oh. Sorry George." I say.

"[y/n] Do you want to come to Nikki's bakery with me. Sapnap said your favorite scone is blueberry. I'll buy you a blueberry scone." George says. I looked at the bag that had been knocked off the chain. Then I look at George and nod. "That bad huh?" George says.

"Worse than that bad." I say.

"Do you want to talk about it?" George asks.

"No. If I have to explain what's wrong then that means thinking about why I'm upset and I'll probably cry." I say. George nods. We walked to the bakery and I remembered to deliver the letter to Nikki. George made jokes to distract me and he was fairly successful. When I got to the bakery I gave nikki the letter and Nikki decided to wait to read it in private. I figured she needed it. I had almost calmed down when Ranboo entered the room. "RANBOO!" I shout. Ranboo walks over to me.

"Hey I heard what happened." Ranboo says. I look at George.

"It's ok. I'll catch up with you later." George says. I smiled and thanked him. Then Ranboo hugged me and I had to try to force myself not to cry. Ranboo and I walked back to his house and I told him what happened. Ranboo seemed frustrated.

"I knew something was off. I mean obviously he's an awful person and a dictator but something more. I think I had a bad encounter with him. I just wish I could remember." Ranboo says. Ranboo and I spent the next hour talking about his living situation. That's when I came up with the Idea for him to live in Pogtopia. He wouldn't fight in any war on their side; we'd just build him his own little shack next to our house. Techno had always taken a liking to Ranboo as well so I figured I could talk to everyone at pogtopia about it. Eventually I had to leave for training.

When I got to the base Dream said we'd be practicing with a bow today. I loved when we used bows during training. When I was little Phil taught me how to hunt with a bow. I practiced it for years. I could even outdo techno with a bow. I pretended I was incapable with a bow around Dream though. I wanted to see how Dream did it in case there was something I was missing. However there definitely wasn't. Finally towards the end of training for the day, I got bored. Dream was rambling about things I already knew. I looked at him and groaned. "Can we be done now?" I ask.

"What's with the sudden whining?" Dream asks.

"I don't know. I'm just tired and you're telling me things I already know." I say. Shit, I didn't mean to say that last part. Too late now.

"Oh really?" Dream says. I look at him and pick up my bow and grab an arrow from my quiver. Dream had a row of Targets at various heights and distances starting from lowest difficulty to highest. I started from the first target and went down the line nailing every single one. "No way." Dream says in disbelief.

"I need a nap." I say.

"You can be done after you spar Sapnap in hand to hand." Dream says. I groaned again.

"But I can already beat him." I say. Dream chuckles.

"C'mon [y/n]. You got it." He replies. Dream calls sapnap into the room and we head into the room with mats. I was tired and ready to get over with this fight. I quickly get into stance and get ready to fight Sapnap. Then I realize, I'm not in the stance Dream taught me. I'm in the one Sapnap taught me. Fuck. It was too late to move. Dream began to speak up. "Hold on," He says walking to me. Dream looks me up and down then starts to laugh. This wasn't a genuine heart warming laugh. It was one of disbelief. "[y/n], I have only ever fought one person who takes that kind of stance before." Dream says.

"What are you talking about?" I say. Dreams laugh continues. It honestly scared me a bit.

"I forgot how close you and Techno are." Dream says.

"Dream I don't know what you're on about." I try to say. Dreams gaze snaps to me.

"This whole time, you have been getting training from the two best warriors in the history of the smp." Dream says.

"That's not true." I protest.

"Don't fucking play dumb [y/n]. I was right, when your actions are calculated, you're dangerous. Sapnap move I wanna fight her." Dream says. I get into position. And we start fighting. The fight lasted a long time and was difficult. But in the end I beat him. When I finally had him pinned we were both out of breath and tired. I helped Dream back up and he looked frustrated.

"You good?" I ask. Dream looks at me with a less than pleased expression.

"You- you played me." Dream says.

"Dream calm down." Sapnap says.

"How did I play you?" I ask.

"Because- because. . ." Dream stumbles for an answer. Then he gave up trying to answer me. "[y/n] do you even understand what this means?" Dream asks. I shake my head. "I have never been beat in a hand to hand fight like that. Ever."

"I'm sorry?" I say.

"No. Don't try that shit with me. Don't try and tell me you didn't think it was that big of a deal. You and I think too much alike for me to buy that." Dream says.

"So then what do you want me to say?" I ask.

"Alright, we're gonna go spar with weapons." Dream says. We walk into the next room and pull on chainmail armour. Then we walk to a wall with a selection of dull weapons that we used for training. Dream had got me pretty good with a sword but I preferred an axe. Techno had made me amazing with an axe. I reached out and took the axe. "Fucking figures. Techno would pick an axe." Dream says.

I gripped the axe in my hand and looked at him. I spoke up. "Let's make this interesting."
