༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺

That night Dream arrived at the loft late. Him and Rebecca found themselves walking around Central Park just for the heck of it.

Rebecca chuckled as Dream told her a story of Sapnap and George. She wished to have met his best friends better but he promised that she will in the next couple of days.

Rebecca pursed her lips and Dream stopped walking and looked at her, raised an eyebrow at her, "What?" he asked.

She sighed, "You still really think I'll remember?" she asked sadly. Dream sighed and carefully grabbed her hand, "If Phil won't then I'll have to do something-" "You'll get in trouble." She cut him off.

Dream chuckled, "For you? Any trouble would be nothing." He said. She stared at him and he sighed, cupping her cold cheeks he smiled, "Even if you don't remember, we'll make new ones." He whispered.

Rebecca gaped at her and he gulped, "Only if you want to though. I won't want to push you-" "That sounds amazing Dream." She cut him off.

He smiled and nodded. They just stood there, they seemed to enjoy just admiring each other. Well Dream missed her, it had been years for him longer for him because Karl would bring him everywhere, it was part of his punishment. Rebecca however enjoyed memorizing him, she wanted to instill him in her mind just in case she won't remember.

As they did, a lone snowflake landed on Rebecca's nose. She looked at it, crossing her eyes. Dream smiled and let out a chuckle. She looked back up at him and he just grinned at her, "You look cute."

As he took off his jacket and hang it on the hook, he didn't notice Tina looking at him with crossed arms. So when he turned he jumped in shock.

Tina stared at him with a raised eyebrow. He chuckled nervously and scratched his neck. Tina was always a worried one, she was the only girl of their small family so she was very much maternal to all of them.

"Where the hell have you been?" she asked quietly. Karl had just gotten back from a jump and Sapnap and George just finished fixing with BBH and Callahan.

Dream hummed, "Just around Central Park." He said with a shrug. Tina raised an eyebrow at him. "Who were you with?" she asked.

He shrugged, "Someone..." he trailed. He could never lie to Tina, she was very good at spotting lies, Niki always joked that if she was a Crafter she would have been the goddess of lies.

"Someone?" Tina asked. Dream huffed, "Fine. I was with Rebecca-" "With Rebecca?!" she cut him off.

Dream's eyes widen as he moved to cover her mouth before she started screaming again. She looked at him with wide eyes, he shook his head, "Quiet down." He said.

Tina huffed and he sent her a look and he rolled his eyes, "Just don't scream okay?"he asked. She scoffed but nodded, with that Dream pulled away.

"You were with Rebecca?" Tina asked. He nodded and fiddled with his fingers, "Okay. how was it?" she asked.

Dream suddenly smiled which made Tina smile. "I'm guessing good?" she asked. He nodded and sighed, "She's... she's still her." he said. Tina chuckled and nodded, "I'm happy for you." she said.

He hummed and nodded, a smile still on his lips. Standing there, silence engulfed them. Tina observed him, he had a light aura. He seemed at peace and happier. He was, Dream.

It made Tina very happy that her friend was feeling like himself again. It was a long and still on going punishment for him that really drained his being. But the man that was standing in front of him right now was definitely her long time friend.

"Tina..." Dream trailed. She hummed and tilted her head as he pursed his lips. Tina knew the look that he was sending her. Quite frankly him, Sapnap and George use it all the time. Especially when it was cookie Tuesday.

"What is it?" she asked. "Can you maybe, I don't know pull up some records for me?" he asked cautiously.

This made Tina look at him in worry, "Dream what are you up to-" "If Ranboo is forbidden to bring her memories back then maybe we can trigger it." he cut her off.

Tina looked at him with a frowned. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "Will it not work?" he asked clearly desperate to get the love of his life to remember.

"It will-" "So-" "But." She cut him off and raised a hand making him stop. "This can cause trouble for us. You don't know that right?"she asked him.

Dream sighed but he nodded, "I know." He said. Tina scoffed, "I'm sorry, I know Rebecca is important to you and I get that. She's a great girl but Dream, you're willing to sacrifice our life for this." She said.

He stood there, unfazed making her upset, "Dream, you can make new memories together-" "But she wants them back. And frankly, the Jumpers have always been a different group from the Crafters. We are our own entity. They can't and won't touch us." He said.

Tina sighed, "But look at what he did to you and Rebecca. What if he does it again?" she asked. Dream shook his head, "Then he will be messing with Jumpers' work..." he trailed and Tina looked at him surprised,a smile on her face, "And that's forbidden..."

Dream smirked and nodded. Tina let out a chuckle and hum, "Alright. I'll do it."
