Time (Dream smp)

"So Foolish Gamers," Charlie bounced along next to the half totem, "This Schlatt guy's grave is in this place called L'manburg?"

"Uh, yep." Foolish nodded as the three of them walked passed the prison.

Quackity glared at the blackstone building. He was torturing Dream in there yesterday. Torturing him for everything he did to the server. Everything he put everyone through.

He looked over the horizon, the sun starting to sink, and saw him. Dream was heading towards the prison.

"Say, what's this building for?" Charlie asked, looking up at the prison.

"To keep that bastard contained!" Quackity yelled, pulling out an axe and charging at Dream.

"Woah- hey!" Dream yelled, dodging a swing.

"This familiar Dream?" Quackity laughed, aiming another attack, "Remind you of my visits!?"

"What!?" Dream shouted.

"Shut up Dream!"

Quackity swung down, but his axe was stopped by Sapnap's sword.

"Quackity?" Sapnap asked.

Quackity took a step back, "Sapnap?"

Sapnap laughed, tears filling his eyes as he reached up to hold Quackity's face, "hey babe."

"I-I, what- why are you..." Quackity dropped his axe to his side, his hand clinging to Sapnap's.

"That scar is pretty hot." Sapnap smiled.

Quackity let out a laugh, leaning toward his fiance until his head hit his shoulder. Sapnap wrapped his arms around the other, holding him close.

"Uh, what's happening? And who is that?" Dream asked.

"I would like to know that as well." Charlie nodded.

"Would you two stop-!" George yelled, running up next to them, "oh..."

Foolish stepped up next to George, "Are we like, interrupting something? Also hi Dream."

"Uh, hi..." Dream looked at Foolish, "I don't know your name..."

Foolish nodded, "I'm Foolish, your brother. I assume you have memory loss as well? I mean, that would be the only explanation why you're walking around and weren't immediately locked back in prison."

"Uh, yeah. I don't remember like, half the history or something." Dream shrugged, "so, you have memory loss?"

Foolish shook his head, "oh no, not me, not me. Quackity doesn't remember Schlatt though."

"Schlatt?" George questioned, "like, president of L'manburg Jschlatt? The one he was a vice president to?"

"Yeah! I'm surprised he forgot him! It was like, a really important time for him." Foolish said.

Charlie gasped suddenly, getting really close to Dreams face, "Oh my goop, you're green! Are you a slime too?"

"Um, no?" Dream said, taking a step back, "who are you?"

"I'm Charlie! I'm a human like you! And not a slime! I have skin and fleshy bits!" Charlie smiled.

"Uh..." Dream glanced at George, who just shrugged.

"So what's the deal with them?" Charlie pointed to Sapnap and Quackity, who were both on the ground now, arms locked around each other.

"They're fiance's." George said quietly.

Dream hummed, a small smile on his face, "that's nice. I'm glad Sap found happiness."

George look at the ground, "yeah..."

Quackity gripped Sapnap's shirt tightly. How long had it been since they saw each other?

"I'm sorry..." Sapnap whispered, pulling Quackity closer, "you were supposed to come to Kinoko with us. We were supposed to live there together, all of us. Karl was supposed to tell you..."

"But he didn't, did he." Quackity said sharply, "he forgot. He forgot about his own god-damned fiance!"

"Quackity..." Sapnap lifted his fiance's head to look him in the eyes and sighed, "it's not just you he's forgetting..."

"What do you mean?" Quackity asked, leaning into Sapnap's warm hands.

"Karl's memory has been deteriorating for a while." Sapnap explained, "he won't tell anyone why, and he denies it, but I can tell..."

"We have to find him then! If he has memory problems then it might have gotten way worse with whatever the hell is going on now!" Quackity yelled, quickly standing up, "Why weren't you looking for him!? You obviously know there's memory loss shit going on! He might not know where the hell he even is!"

"Quackity!" Sapnap stood and grabbed his fiance's arm, "last I saw him, he was still asleep! Bad and Skeppy were looking after everyone!"

"Sapnap, we have to find him." Quackity said, a glimpse of his old self coming though.

"I know, I know." Sapnap glanced at Dream and George.

"Go." George rolled his eyes, "If I need help, Sam is at the hotel. Don't let us stop you from finding your other fiance."

"Two fiance's!" Dream laughed, "man, you got around!"

"Oh my god, shut up." Sapnap smiled as he ran off, dragging Quackity behind him.

"So what's Dreams deal?" Quackity asked as they ran.

Sapnap shrugged, "he doesn't remember L'manburg or anything after."

Quackity laughed, "so the big bad got kicked down."

"Yeah." Sapnap smiled, "by the way, what visits we're you talking about?"

Quackity squeezed Sapnap's hand, "I'll... I'll tell you later..."

Sapnap slowed down, "No more secrets, promise?"

Quackity hesitated, "I... I promise."

"Good." Sapnap leaned his head against Quackity's.

Quackity smiled. For a moment everything felt alright.
