Trapped - Dream SMP AU

Chapter 2 - Realization

Dream rolled on his back, he felt like he had just been hit by a bus. Realization of being pulled into his computer ran cold over his mind. He quickly opened his eyes, it was dark, it's night time.

Dream waited for his eyes to adjust while relief washed over him, it was just a dream, he was in his bed and it was night. Dream rolled on his side reaching for the covers, instead his hand felt the dew of grass. Dreamed jumped back, he put both hands down. He could feel the long tiny strands that prickled his skin.

Why couldn't he see anything? Where was he? What had happened? Dream took small breaths in and out running this questions over and over in his mind.

He reached up to his face and felt the smooth surface covering it, he began to realize he was no longer in the T-Shirt and shorts he was wearing earlier. He was wearing a mask, like the one he has plastered all over his brand. He reached around his head hoping to find a buckle to take it off, thankfully he found one. He grabbed the surprisingly light plastic mask and slowly pulled it off his face.

Dream inhaled sharply as the world was transformed before his eyes. It was if Minecraft had combined with the real world. Trees surrounded the area, they had the texture of normal trees but were square like Minecraft trees, same with the grass blocks. Even the sun was a square. Dream looked down at himself he was definitely not wearing a T-Shirt in shorts but rather a uniform that his character brands in every piece of fan art.

Dream had on loose fitting pants that were a dark grey shade, some strapped leather boots, a leather belt that held strangely colored bottles, a worn-ish green hoodie with a strap across his chest this one held more bottles. Finally in his hand he held the icon of his character: the mask, he tilted it to get a better looked and ended up reflecting sunlight in his eyes.

Dream looked around some more, he observed everything he could, he seemed to be in a forest, trees were everywhere around him. The ground had grass, but the grass did have dew on it so that must mean it's morning. He didn't see any animals, then Dream remembered that Patches had came with him!

He frantically looked around for his cat, "PATCHES! WHERE ARE YOU?" Dream heard a slight rustling to his left, he called out to Patches again.

"Dream? Is that you?" Dream heard another's voice he recognized it as Sapnap's immediately.

"Sapnap! Thank goodness, I can't find Patches, where are we?" Dream went through a list of questions he wanted to ask, but why would Sapnap know anyways.

"I have Patches, she must have found me while you were knocked out." Patches came from behind a tree with Sapnap behind her, however Sapnap was not the normal Nick that Dream was use to he looked like how his character was portrayed in fan art as well.

"Woah, you look so different." Sapnap had black baggy pants on that had straps all around them, he had a chained belt around the waist too while he wore a black hoodie and white T-Shirt over that branding his famous flame in the middle. His hair was pitch black and sprang loosely around his face while a white headband kept it above his eyes, the head band had two long strands that floated behind him.

"Couldn't say the same about you, your face looks pretty much the same, I think your hair is lighter tho." Sapnap said while Patches walked over to Dream.

"Do you have any clue what happened? One minute I was getting on the SMP and now I'm trapped in it?" Dream asked even when he knew Sapnap wasn't going to know either.

"I have no idea man, all I know is that I think we are in the Dream SMP, look around does this look familiar?"

Dream took a step back and looked around, having a bit more time he realized half of the trees were just leaves... he had been here just yesterday chopping down trees with Sapnap. They had spawned right where they had despawned yesterday expect rather than controlling a character with a keyboard and mouse, Dream was controlling himself and he was the character.

Sapnap could see realization on Dream's face and took to the next order of business, "We need to find George and Quakity, do you know where they were last?"

Dream fiddled with his his hoodie strings while he tried to remember, "I think that Quakity might be at Las Nevadas, and George... I can't remember maybe Church Prime?" Sapnap nodded, understanding.

"Okay let's go to Las Nevadas first, it's closer and I am pretty sure that he is there but we don't for sure know where George is."

Sapnap and Dream started walking towards Las Nevadas with Patches trailing, Dream thought it was crazy that Sapnap knew which way to go, he was so turned around.

"How do you know where you are going?" Dream asked, actually being perplexed.

"I woke up before you and I was exploring, I also climbed a tree to look, that's how I figured out where we are. I was really freaked out at first, but all we can do now is figure out how to get back I suppose." Dream agreed with Sapnap, there really wasn't any use in freaking out.

"Do you think it's just us?"

"You mean Quakity, George, you and I? I don't know, there is no common sense in any of this."

They walked a bit more in silence, Dream would look around while occasionally getting spooked by how different Sapnap looks. Would George and Quakity look different? He didn't think so, their characters were pretty similar to how they actually looked.

They reached Las Nevadas first. The sheer size of the buildings was astounding. Dream felt so small in comparison. It was going to take a bit to find Quakity unfortunately.

Dream started fiddling with the "potions" attached to his costume. There was 6 in all, wrapped around his chest as protection. However, considering Dream had little idea what the effects of the potions would be he refrained from seeing them as such.

"Wanna test one?"

"Sapnap, you are an idiot. Have I ever told you that?" Dream was curious, but not that curious. Sapnap scuffed in response.

"I'm hungry" Sapnap announced.

"You're always hungry, deal with it"

"No, like a hungry bar has appeared and it's flashing. I'm at 2 bars right now." Sapnap looked genuinely worried, which is fair since there was no way of telling what 0 hungry bars would do. Would he start getting hurt and flashing red? Would he die?

"Uh that's not good"

"Obviously that's been established" Sapnap stopped walking and started flailing his arms around.

"What are you doing now?" Despite the circumstances Dream couldn't help but laugh, he looked like he was drowning above water.

"I'm trying...to find...my inventory" Sapnap heaved as he was really starting to get into different moves. He spent a good 5 minutes doing this, while updating Dream when his hungry bars would go down; he was currently at 0.5 hungry bars.

Dream started sweating himself, not understanding these annoying different game controls. Sapnap started throwing out curse words left and right.

"I'm gonna die. This is it for me. Dream you can have all my stuff, don't break my skateboard though." Dream couldn't tell how truthful Sapnap was being, did he actually think he was dying or was he making light of the situation?

It was at this moment a screaming Quakity came into view. Trailing him was a skeleton horse.

"QUAKITY QUAKITY ALEX OVER HERE" Both Sapnap and Dream tried to get his attention, finally managing a glance in their direction Quakity switched his mad pursuit towards them. Dream was confused since horses didn't even attack in minecraft, why was one chasing Quakity?

All the sudden Sapnap yelped as 3 hearts appeared above his head, the first one flashing.
