Original Intent

Panic, Confusion & Suspicion, Oh My!

Dream wasn't ready. She wasn't even close.

Dream was pacing in her living room as Luca played in his play pen. Her ear was twitching, anxiously flicking back and forth.. .One wrong move and she could be triggered, thus destroying any friendship she had with Tubbo and Ranboo. Dream didn't understand why just a few acts of kindness made her so complacent for the two teens.

Maybe because they treated you like you were human.

Shut up! Why do you pop up when it's inconvenient?

You may think it's inconvenient but I pop up mostly to talk and counteract that poor mentality you have.

My mentality is just fine.

Is it really? Because all I see you do is fall into the same song and dance those mortals from your server forced on you.

You say mortals like I'm not one.

You can be much more...but that is a talk for another day. Stop trying to change the subject.

I did so many bad things!

Who on your server hasn't?

Tommy was just a kid, I hurt him. I hurt a kid! What kind of monster does that?

Maybe physically but that boy has been through enough wars and battles. He shouldn't be so dependent.

I manipulated Tommy and Tubbo!

Yes you did but you weren't the first puppeteer. You aren't even the main one. He pulled the strings even in death.

Do you mean Wilbur?! He was my friend!

That fool was a puppet master that forced you to move with iron thread. He had you locked in his game along with everyone else.

No he didn't!

I won't argue on this more because I'm not the one you need to hear this from. But you should remember something.

What?

Everything you did was for the sake of everyone, not just those who followed you. It was for the sake of the enemy and friends. That is what makes the difference between being a villain and being human.

Dream felt the presence leave and she was alone again. But she felt heavy like there was a weight she couldn't shake off. Wilbur never did anything to her, he only wanted what was best for his own. She just wanted chaos. That's all she cared for. Yet her mind also told her she had reasons, that her reasons were more for the server than Wilbur's ever were. Dream felt so confused...why were the people here so different? Why did they try to understand her instead of condemning her? Of course Tubbo and Ranboo would leave if they found out what she did to them but...

Dream felt her eyes burn before she could stop it and she fell to her knees sobbing. Dream cried and didn't hear much. She didn't hear Luca whining at her in distress nor did she hear the door open. Which is what caused her to jump when she felt something drape over her shoulders. Having an idea of who it is, Dream tried to force herself to stop but someone grabbed her hand and put it between their own. It was Ranboo.

"It's ok Sissy. You don't need to hold back your tears" Ranboo said softly. Dream tried not to. But then she looked at Tubbo. He had a bright smile on his face and looked at her with such fondness that she couldn't help but continue her earlier breakdown. Why were these two like this? It was only a month!
