Puffy took a long sip from her mug as Foolish shuffled around on his seat nervously,
"Stop fidgeting" Puffy scowled, it was a habit she never grew out of even as her boys grew older. Foolish huffed mumbling under his breath, Puffy raised an eyebrow at him, placing her mug down on the table a little firmer than she meant to.
"Puffy" Foolish started his nervous tone matching his movements. She hummed in acknowledgement. "I think, it's time that we came clean about something"
"Yeah?"
"It's about Dream"
"You didn't have anything to do with it did you?" Foolish stared back at her, aghast.
"Goodness no, nothing like that."
"Okay" The two fell into a disturbing silence. Foolish took a deep breath and started again,
"Do you remember when you found the two of us?" Puffy nodded. "What if I told you that there was more?"
"Where?"
"Well you know, here there everywhere," Puffy stared at him blankly. Foolish nervously cleared his throat, "Well, there's more" he chuckled weakly. "Like XD" he mumbled
"Foolish, buddy I don't understand" Puffy said, staring intently into Foolsih's eyes, which were darting all across the room, looking everywhere but Puffy's own. "Foolish," Puffy warned.
"What?" Foolish's voice rose a few octaves, cracking slightly. Puffy sighed.
"You won't meet my eyes, you're constantly fidgeting, you're talking in riddles and your voice is rising unnaturally as you speak. Just spit out what you want to say, it's not like I'm going to judge"
"It's just I don't know where to start" He confessed.
"How about at the beginning."
"No that's too long, wait. That's probably the best idea" Foolish took a shaky breath in, "So at first there was only XD. He did his thing, ya know? Then there came me, I don't remember much, before I was a god. I know the egg was around before then, but It's been around far longer than that- I'm getting off track, anyway. There was me and Eret for a while, and then he went and did his own thing and it's a shame because he doesn't remember the wither cult and it's a shame because that was really fun and, and I'm upset because I feel like I've lost me best friend and-"
"Foolish" Puffy cut him off "you're rambling, let's take this one subject at a time"
"Sorry" Foolish winced "there's just a lot going on"
"I know" Puffy said softly "but let's get back on track, There was XD, then you?"
"Yeah, then a few years later, it could be a century later. Dream came along," Foolish frowned. "Do you remember the day he went funny?"
"When he started going off alone, without Sapnap or George? Yeah"
"Well, I learnt where he would go"
"Where?" Foolish grimaced
"A lab, he went to a lab and there was some funny business going on in there, but I'll get back to that in a second-"
"No please, continue"
"Okay. -but it's going to get confusing. So it turns out that Dream was trying to clone himself to save our species, it was really messy and confusing" Foolish paused, allowing Puffy to process the information.
"Dream's not human is he?" She asked calmly. Foolish nodded gravely. "And you're not really a god are you?" Foolish nodded again. "So. What are you?"
"Well, that's where it gets really complicated. We're all demons, but it's not what you think"
"I figured. Bad, he's a normal demon right?" Foolish nodded, "how are you different?"
"Um, we come from a completely different race, something far stronger and far more ancient. Think of it as basically the ancestors of today's common demon. It's kind of classified as a Dreamon."
Puffy looked out of the window, replaying the information in her mind.
"So, you Dream and XD are all Dreamon's?" She asked, Foolish nodded.
"Okay, now back on track now. So Dreamons are kind of a dying race, we can't reproduce like a normal demon. We kind of get more of our kind the same way vampires do. Turning humans into Dreamons." Foolish looked into his own hands "but for some, it wasn't good enough, not for XD and especially not for Dream" he paused. "Not for me either" he added as an afterthought. "So Dream tried to clone himself"
"Please don't tell me it went terribly wrong"
"It didn't, it worked. An almost perfect clone of Dream was made. The first 'pure blooded' Dreamon- Oh wait, before that he started raising a half Dreamon, half Enderman-"
"Foolish, you better not be talking about Ranboo" Foolish nodded grimly.
"Yeah, that's.That's him, uhh. He's my technically second youngest brother" Puffy froze. Her next words are cold and threatening.
"Foolish, who's the youngest"
"Yeahhh, that's the thing. Um it's-"
Eret burst through the door, dried blood on their chin and a dark red stain on his stomach.
"Puffy, it's Tommy" he gasped, her knees wobbling before completely giving way.
"Shit!"
"Eret!" The two cried out in unison. Puffy rushing to catch the stumbling monarch.
"What happened?" Foolish asked as Puffy half carried Eret to her room, laying them on her bed. She turned to Foolish
"Keep her awake while I get the first aid." She instructed him, rushing out of the room.
"Eret, buddy. What the hell happened?" Foolish asked crouching by the bed.
"Tommy and Wilbur, They've gone mad. He's angry. Foolish, Dream's fucked with Tommy's head. He's out for revenge"
"More like out for blood" Foolish said, observing the stab wound. Puffy rushed back into the room, A red medical kit in hand.
"Did you say Tommy did this? How?" She asked, Eret shrugged.
"No clue, Puffy. I'm tired."
"No, Eret you can't sleep yet." Puffy pleaded, Eret didn't reply. Foolish gripped their wrist, shaking it slightly. Face pale.
"Puffy, that's the thing I wanted to tell you"
"What?"
"My youngest brother- Dream's clone. It's, It's Tommy" Puffy's arms began to shake as she finished stitching Eret's wound, wrapping it in gauze. "Will he survive?"
"I don't know, son." she whispered
"I don't know if any of us will"
