Everyone expected dream to be just a normal Minecraft youtuber who never leaves the house and who doesn't work anywhere other than youtube and streaming, what they didn't know was that he was actually a top model for vogue.

The only reason that dream doesn't stream much is because of his job outside of Minecraft. None of his friends knew of his job other than his family. He never felt the need to tell anyone that he was a top model for vogue because then they would connect the dots and figure out his face reveal.

He didn't feel comfortable with anyone knowing of his job, not even the people at his modeling job knew of what he did outside of work and the same goes with his friends and fans of his Minecraft job.

It was one afternoon when the feral boys were streaming while they were all laughing and just having a good time and playing around on the DreamSMP, nothing role play just having a good time.

Dream was spacing out a lot after getting little to no rest the night prior. He was at a shoot all night for an upcoming line for vogue, he was drifting off into space almost the whole stream and his friends started to notice.

They were getting concerned for their friend so they were planning to discuss it after the stream.

An hour later and they ended the stream and they all said goodbye which just left George, Dream, Sapnap, Karl, and Quackity in the call.

Sapnap was the first who brought it up after the stream ended, "Yo Dream, you good?" Dream was still distracted in his thoughts, it didn't help that his ADHD was acting up and he couldn't focus for long on anything around him.

He was twirling a pen in between his fingers to even notice that the call fell into silence. It's was like that for a bit until he heard all four of their voices shouting his name "-eam, Dream, Dream!"

That got him out of his thoughts, "huh?"
"what do you mean "huh?" you were unfocused the whole stream and you didn't hear us calling your name, are you alright?" Dream didn't even know who said that but he responded none the less, "Yea sorry just didn't get much sleep last night, been drifting off a bit"

The call was still mostly silent, "Oh it's all good, any reason you didn't sleep" The four of them could that something was wrong and he was lying about something. "Nothing specific just was thinking is all, nothing to worry about"

Sapnap was about to respond before someone's phone ringing cut him off. "Sorry i got to take this i'll be right back" Dream deafended and muted before he left to accept the call which left the four feral boys to talk.

"Anyone know what's up with him?" A chorus of "no's" rang through the call. "Maybe he was just worried about the stream since he hasn't been on in a bit, just a guess tho"

George and Karl have been mostly quiet the entire time until George brought up an idea, "Anyone wanna do a feral boys meet up?!" He exclaimed hoping that they would agree. He was really worried about dream and maybe if they all visited him it would take off his stress, "Hell Yea!" "I'm down" "Yess" all the answers rang though the call all at the same time.

They were all waiting for Dream to get back to discuss this idea with him.

On the other side of the discord Dream answered the phone, "Hello?" "Oh Clay, you've got another shoot in about an hour it's important so i expect to see you" The person on the other side of this call was Emma, Clays manager.

None of Clays online friends knew of his real name, he always went by Dream to them because he didn't want people to know who he was.

When he first met bad and sap he told them to call him Dream because that was his IGN and he never felt the need to tell anyone his real name, especially since he got into modeling. "Yes Emma i'll be there don't worry" Although he was exhausted he still had work to do and he was gonna push through it. They both ended the call and he undeafened and unmuted. He couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear him.

"Hey guys sorry, i'm back but i've gotta go i'm pretty tired and i'm gonna take a shower."
"Oh no worries see you later dude" they all said their goodbyes to him which only left the four of them. "Maybe we should surprise him he seems tired" They all agreed since they knew his address after sending him their merch.

They all discussed their flight times and George and Sapnap will be arriving at 2pm and Quackity and Karl both got 4pm. They all tried to schedule at the same time but that was the closest they got.

Sapnap and George both agreed to go out to eat and wait the remaining two hours for the other. After all the details they headed off, "Sounds like a plan, see you all next Monday" it was currently Saturday and the earliest that George could get was Monday so they agreed to go on Monday. "Bye" "Can't wait to see you all on Monday, Bye!"
