Damn it. I'm so dumb. Ugh, god DAMN IT.

Techno was pacing back and forth under the tunnel arch where Dream had left him.

Dream. The one who wanted to be his friend. The one who tried. But Techno had too much pride to notice.

"Techno! I've been looking everywhere for you! Ace Race is about to start--"

Before Wilbur could finish, all the MCC competitors were teleported to another floating platform. Techno looked around, trying to find the green man, but when he did, the sight he saw slightly surprised him.

Dream no longer had his white mask, he had a black one, with a white frown. He was looking down, as the ground beneath them shifted into the next game. Ace Race.

Once the map was ready, the platform floated down, fitting perfectly into it's slot. They were given tridents and elytra, as they lined up, ready to sprint straight onto the first boost.

Techno glanced to his side, spotting the black-masked man again. Dream's head turned slightly, and their eyes met.

"GO!"

Techno was so focused on the green gremlin, he hadn't noticed the speaker start to count down. Everyone bolted forward, Techno stumbling as he followed.

The booster shoved him into the air, Techno gaining back his composure as he glided through the sky, landing on another floating island.

He soon caught up with the rest of the competitors, practically side by side with Wilbur.

He sped up a bit, passing the brunette. He almost froze as he saw who was in front of him. Dream.

"Stop staring, I want to beat you for real for once." The words broke Techno out of his somewhat conscious paralysis.

"Dream look--"

"Head's up!"

Techno's head shot up, facing straight forward. He noticed a giant wall of ice, snow and water. They landed in the water. Techno took out his trident, aiming up as far as possible.

The trident shot up, shooting himself up into the air. He landed on a patch of snow with a mini pond. He got in the water and shot up into the sky again. He got on top and glided down to the finish line.

He saw Dream already there, as he touched down, coins flying everywhere as he did.

Once everyone finished they were teleported back to a floating platform. Techno could see the leader board from where he was. They were still 3rd, L'Manburg second. Someone's been training.

There was only one game left, and they needed to be at least in the top two. Right now, they were 500 points behind L'Manburg.

The last game, was Battle Box.

Finally, something I can actually destroy in.

This was Techno's strength, combat. You had to fight off the other team and break the blocks in the middle to replace them with your own team coloured ones.

While Techno was half conscious, the platform had floated back down to the ground. He got off, searching for his team mates. He spotted them gathered near the leader board.

"Guys!" They all turned around to face the pink-haired prince, who was jogging towards them.

"We've got to win this one, or at least get more pints than L'Manburg."

"We know Techno. Question is, is your head in the game?" All of the Pogtopia competitors were now facing him. Their eyes were burning holes through his own.

"I-- Uh, yes, of course. I'm ready now."

"Ok, you better be, because if you aren't...We'll have to replace you." Techno stood in shock at those words.

Re...Replace? Replace THE Technoblade?

"I--"

"Techno, we know full well what your capable of, and that you're the strongest, most well trained person on our team, but if we don't have you focused, you're no better than any of us."

Techno gulped down, giving a slight nod. He'd never think the day would come, where he was this distracted. And it had to be on this, exact day.

So, he knew what he had to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What the--

"Dream." Techno had grabbed Dream by the collar of his hoodie, pushing him against the wall.

"Techno what the fu--"

"I hate you. We, can NEVER, EVER be friends, and we won't be. You, are my enemy. I hate you. I hate every single bit of you." Dream saw a tear roll down the pinkette's cheek. He knew he didn't want to do this. But he did it anyway.

"I know," was all he said. Techno let go of him and started walking off, but Dream grabbed him by the wrist, turned him around and took his mask off.

Dream, was crying.

"I know you hate me. But just know, I...I love you." The word were forced out. He couldn't keep it in anymore.

Tears were rolling down his cheeks non-stop. He wanted him to say something. Anything. He wanted to see there was still light in him.

"I, will never, love you." And he walked off, leaving Dream there, heartbroken.

Broken. In despair. Empty.
