"Hel-lo! Welcome back to the stream!"

Tommy said, loud as possible whilst opening his can of coke. He was streaming once again after finishing his collage homeworks, he decided he wanted to stream.

"Can we get some subs out here chat? Any primers?"

Tommy says as he listened to the on-going music. He was vibing and subs were coming in.

"Thank you for the subs!"

Tommy says as the subs kept coming, but at a slower pace now. He kept thinking what he should play on today.

Then he got a DM on discord. He looked over to his second monitor to see Quackity DM'ing him.

He opened the DM and read the messages.

Quackity
Tommy! Come on the SMP, Dream apparently has some news.

Also I saw you go live, you might wanna pause that really quickly. Dream said it's a surprise for the viewers.

Tommy was left confused but went on the Dream SMP anyways.

"Alright guys, I'm gonna pause the stream really quickly. Apparently Dream has some announcement for us. Mods I'll leave it to you."

Tommy says as he mutes and defean on stream. He then puts up a screen that displayed nothing but a black screen with a text saying "Be right back pog".

Tommy joined a VC in the SMP's server where mostly of the members were in. Tommy also hopped into the SMP to see almost everyone except the inactive members. But mostly were there.

(Bruh I don't remember all of them, are these all of them? Bruhh)

Tommy stayed quiet as the others in the VC don't notice him. He didn't like being the center of attention, but his internet character does. And he hates it.

"Alright guys, settle down. Is anyone streaming? Or did you guys pause your stteam?"

No one spoke, meaning people have paused or stopped streaming. They waited fir Dream to speak again.

"Alright, me and Sapnap thought it would be a good idea to fly you guys over–"

"But Dream there's like— 17 of us. Some of us don't have the money to actually fly over there and come back here."

Ant cut Dream off. Of course, Dream, being... Dream already knew that someoen woulf ask that and so he had everything prepared.

"You have a very good point Ant. That's why not all of you are flying here. Maximum of 8 people are flying. That's why y'all are gonna say if you wanna fly over or not."

People decided to open a poll and let it stay up for 2 minutes, then Dream closed the poll.

"Alright, it seems only 6 people don't wanna fly over here and it's, Bad, Skeppy, Ant, Ponk, Purpled and Quackity. Why though?"

Quackity speaks up first.

"Law school, assignments are a pain in the ass. I would love to, but I can't."

Dream hums in understanding then Bad chimes in.

"Kinda busy with work nowadays and I don't wanna be a part of a big crowd so–"

Then Skeppy speaks.

"Eh, I just don't want to."

"Good point"

Tubbo says. The Ant went next, and then Ponk then Purpled. They all gave good reasons and they wouldn't force them to come either way, they just wanted to know.

And so those 6 people said goodbye to the VC and left. 9 people remain. 1 must stay behind.

"Alright, meaning only 1 more will have to stay behind."

"Let them come, it's just 1 extra person anyway."

Sapnap says as he yawned. Dream chuckled and said he would let it through. And so about 15 minutes later, they talked about schedules and plans. They also talked to the minor's parents and surprisingly they agreed.

And so Tommy's worry grew as he started to think about the habits he grew into along with his situation, he didn't want to go, but he had no choice but to go or else that would just be suspicious. (SUGOMA DIK DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUN)

They said their goodbye's and went back to his stream. Before letting the chat know he came back he looked at the chat, it was going super fast.

User5728: YO WHAT THE F***
User8295: MODS BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN
User7296: NOT COOL :PEEPOmad:

Tommy looks at the chat confused, then decided to check the donations, all the messages were cool but one.

User 0927 Donated £10.00 Pog!
Tommy I don't even know why you exist. You make everyone's day worse if it isn't already bad enough. Stop streaming you f****t.

Right next to that dono was another message.

User 6629 Donated £10.00 Pog!
Used 0927 shut the hell up, you're just mad. Anyways thanks for giving him money lmao.

Tommy breathed, seeing wonderful messages were great but that message sent by that user stuck to his brain. It was looping like a broken record. But he kept streaming.

"Hello chat! I'm back. Sorry it took longer than expected. I think I'm gonna end the stream, what Dream told us was shocking. I need time to think!"

Tommy says half joking. The chat frowned but sent hearts and goodbye's. Tommy said goodbye as well as he ended the stream.

His Social Battery was depleting and the only way to recharge... is not yet found.
