CHAPTER 40 - Too Many Dreams

"It's been a decade"

"what-

"Your third decade is finished"

"No wait... it couldn't be...IT CANT BE THAT SOON!"

"SOON!?"

"Ok, I admit I may have- just Please give me a week. I promise I will do it...Please... I promise...wait... but what about Tommy?"

"You didn't kill him, he died because of starvation and that's not something you just cursed him with"

"Fine, but please give me a bit more time, just- JUST A WEEK, Just a week... Please I promise I will do it..."

"Fine, you get another week, but that's all."

Dream awoke. Panting, the thought about what he had just dreamt ran through his mind. He looked around to see that it was still the middle of the night. He got out of bed and went up to the mirror by the sink. It had broken for the explosion but a bit of it still remained. He looked at himself and calmed down.

"I have to do something... I don't know how I ran out of time, I thought I- ok... I just need to complete the mission in a week... and that's it... *sigh* Oh god... I have to finish this soon... It's been too much... Too many visits from her... Its- ...It's been too many Dreams... I can't- I can't deal with this anymore..." Dream went back to bed. Having to come up with a plan for the next day and fearing he would lose everything.
=====================================================================
A couple of days passed. Tommy got to tell everyone about how he died and been revived, about the afterlife, about Wilbur and the Queen. Technoblade was angered at Dream for setting off the explosion and as he was about to order the death of him when Tommy stopped him to remind him about Wilbur. Knowing that Dream could indeed revive anyone they set a date later in the week to officially bring Wilbur back and end this. No one visited Dream apart from Tubbo. He would bring him food and when he was in the room with him, Dream would push it away and go back to sitting against the wall but whenever Tubbo left and came back again for the next meal he would see the empty plate by the entrance. Tubbo noticed the slow change in his face over time but could see a nervous look in him too. Tubbo didn't question it though fearing he would cause an unnecessary issue.

A few more days passed.

"Alright I have to do it today. I only have two more days left I think..." Dream said to himself in front of the mirror. He heard a metal cling behind him. He turned and saw Tubbo enter the cell. "It isn't noon and he already gave breakfast, why is he here?" he thought to himself.

"Hey Dream, you're probably questioning why I'm here, well I just wanted to just know how it was."

"What was?"

"Well... You know... the stay?..."

"Why didn't Tommy tell you? Isn't he like your best friend or something?" Dream asked sitting on the bed.

"Well, we haven't really talked too much since he was... since we got him out... He's just been around the king and the others a lot... I've mainly been with Ranboo..." Tubbo said looking around the cell.

"Yeah, yeah whatever, do you think Tommy or Technoblade or someone might visit me today or tomorrow?"

"Uhm... I'm not sure... I think they might come in a few days to get you to revive Wilbur... but I don't think Tommy or anyone will visit you before that. Why?"

"Oh... nah just wanted to know..." Dream said covering his face with his hand.

"Anyway I want to just question one thing... What did the revival feel like?"

"Well, how the hell would I know Tommy was the one who was revived idiot."

"No I mean like how did it feel for you? Like did it hurt or something?"

"Oh no it was fine. I didn't even feel anything... it was just done in a snap. I think you should ask Tommy out of anyone what it felt like. He didn't tell me, might tell you."

"Oh, ok I thought it would be something more, different but if that's what happened then I guess, I'll see you in a few hours with your lunch. Uhm... see you then!" Tubbo said and left.

The rest of the day went on as normal. Tubbo informed Dream in the night that Tommy and the others would come with Ghostbur in 3 days for the revival and that they wouldn't visit him earlier than that. Dream lied on his bed knowing that his time would be up by the time they would come. And feared he would actually lose everything. He couldn't sleep or tried not to, knowing that she would visit again. His dreams were the only way she could talk to him and the last thing he needed was her giving another warning. The night went on and Dream spent the entire time worrying over the next day. If he remembered properly the next day would be the end of the extra week he was given.
