(i recently got recommended this animatic for last life which used the song 'the other side' and thought it was rlly cool so yea)


idea :

To be honest, who didn't want tommyinnit on their side? Sure he was an extremely annoying child, but he had the unique ability to light up the room, not to mention his pvp skills were great.

After the independence of lmanburg, dream had already considered making tommy join his side. They could be an unstoppable duo, seeing as dream was the best pvp-er on the server and tommy had almost killed him with the bow shot he made.

Dream was having a great day, being in a good mood he was gonna ask tommy to be in his side today!! Everything would go perfectly, throughout the few weeks he had spent time hanging out with tommy to make sure the latter didn't hate him and would have a great impression on him.

But nothing could ever go smooth for dream could it? Fucking Wilbur Soot decided to hold an election and drag tommy into it. Wilbur always had to mess up dream's plans, first lmanburg now his plan with tommy. Wilbur couldn't live any longer, he had to find a way to kill Wilbur so he could influence tommy easier...



~time skip~

Wilbur was dead now. Not gonna lie, dream did not expect wilbur to get phil to kill him. He was gonna kill wilbur during the explosions when everyone was distracted, but either way everything worked out. Now tommy would be in the easiest to manipulate since he was in grief.

"hey tommy how you holding up?" dream asked as he approached the child. "WHATS UP BIG D??? IM GOOOD!!!" hm it seemed like tommy wasn't very sad about wilbur dying... "so i have a proposal for you..." "go on then"

~~~MUSICAL MONTAGE~~~
"right here right now
i put the offer out,
i don't wanna chase you down
i know you see it
you run with me and
i can cut you free
out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
so trade that typical for something colorful
and if it's crazy, live a little crazy
you can play it sensible, a king of conventional
or you can risk it all and see~

don't you wanna get away from
the same old part you gotta play
'cause I got what you need,
so come with me and take the ride
it'll take you to the other side
'cause you can do like you do
or you can do like me
stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
it'll take you to the other side" dream smirks

"okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
so thanks, but no
i think I'm good to go
'cause I quite enjoy the life
you say I'm trapped in
now I admire you, and that whole show you do
you're onto something, really it's something
but I live among the swells,
and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you

don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
'cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
so go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side" tommy starts walking away

"Now is this really how you like to spend your days? Whisking in misery, and parties and plays" dream takes a hold of tommy's wrist preventing him from leaving.

"If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town. Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns. Let me go dream, i'm not gonna be apart of your little scheme" snatching away his wrist away.

"But you would finally live a little,
finally laugh a little
just let me give you the freedom to dream
and it'll wake you up and cure your aching
take your walls and start 'em breaking
now that's a deal that seems worth taking
but I guess I'll leave that up to you"

~~~END OF MUSICAL MONTAGE~~~

"you can't fool me tommy, being dragged into different wars by wilbur, just join me and you'll be happier" dream tries to convince tommy yet again

"dream you're actually crazy, leave me the fuck alone. In case you've forgotten, you quite literally stole my discs, took independence from lmanburg AND HELPED WILBUR BLOW UP THE COUNTRY" tommy screamed.

dream clenched his fists to the side of his legs, "fine then tommy, have fun playing vice president with tubbo. You'll regret your decision..." dream walked away with axe in hand.

"whatever" tommy mumbled as he walked back to tubbo, to help with the reconstruction of lmanburg.

if only tommy knew, his decision would lead to him being exiled, tortured, killed, betrayed, and even wilbur being alive once again.
