Chapter Text:

Dream looked at the note in his hands.

He had received this in his science class.

Hello, Dream

Ever since the festival I've been thinking about you...

Please meet me in the garden on Friday.

Love,

Your secret admirer.

Dream decided that he would meet this person when the time comes. But right now, Dream was going to go meet with XD.

Dream sat on his bench and entered XD's tavern.

As I entered I saw the whole tavern absolutely wrecked.

There were burnt chairs and seats. Some of which were upside down. There was a broken painting. A tea kettle on the floor. Water and fire extinguisher foam everywhere.

In the middle of the tavern was a perfectly good table and two chairs. One of which was where XD was sitting. In the middle of the table was a vase with a single rose.

"XD! WHAT HAPPENED DID YOU GET ROBBED? CAN THAT EVEN HAPPEN?"

"Ah Dream, hello!"

"HI? WHY ARE YOU SO CALM?"

"Well, I was waiting patiently for you to come so we can talk about what I did today!"

"XD, YOUR TAVERN IS DESTROYED!"

Dream stared at XD. He looked as if he was a puppy asking if he had done a good job about something.

"Yes it is, good observation skills! Please have a seat while I recount what I did today."

"I-"

Dream walked towards the table and sat down on the other chair.

XD stared back.

"Well?" Dream questioned.

"Well what?"

"What did you do today?"

"Oh, Thank you for asking Dream."

"Today I woke up and decided that I was gonna repaint the tavern. So I looked around for a paint can... in the kitchen. So I took the paint and started painting everything in the tavern. All of a sudden, I remembered that you were gonna be coming so I thought it would be a good idea for some tea. Cause that's what you do in social gatherings. I set the tea kettle down near the paint bucket and lit it on fire. I turned around and accidentally stubbed my toe on the table. Cause that's a normal thing humans do and it's funny. I tried to break my fall...but Instead broke the table In half. I then turned around three times before grabbing a painting and sliding down the wall. Hehe, pretty funny huh?"

Dream looked incredulously at XD.

"That doesn't explain the fire? And water? And foam?"

"This must be quite the thrilling story for you to want to know more, i'm glad" XD smiled

"Well, for your question it's another very funny thing, forgetfulness and confusion at the same time. You see, since I woke up I was very confused and forgot that I didn't have any paint."

"XD, please don't tell me..."

"I forgot that paint doesn't smell like oil, and I thought it wasn't confusing to find a can of paint in the kitchen. Turns out, It was oil"

Dream looked horrified.

"So, obviously the oil got caught on fire and yada, yada, yada. The rest is boring so I won't explain any more. But I think you got the point right?" XD laughed.

"XD?"

"Yes?"

"Did you get hurt anywhere?"

"Did I what?"

Dream stood up and walked over to XD checking his hands. Once he ruled that he wasn't hurt anywhere. Dream cupped XD's face making it so that XD looked directly into Dream's eyes.

"Are you ok?" Dream asked.

"I- Yes, I'm fine. Did I do something wrong? you... look different? Wrong? I'm not really sure"

"I'm just worried XD"

"Worried?"

"Yes, I would be very sad and worried if you had gotten hurt. We haven't known each other for a long time but I can't stand to see someone hurt... See you hurt"

XD stared at Dream as he felt something flutter in his stomach. His heart ached. It was a horrible feeling, like he had disappointed Dream somehow.

"...Did I ruin the date?" XD said.

"The What?"

"The date...as in a social gathering?"

Dream looked at XD in confusion.

Dream sighed "no, you didn't. Just be careful next time!" Dream smiled.

"Yes, of course, of course"

"So, how are we gonna clean this up?"

"That is simple!"

XD snapped his fingers and the tavern was magically put to how it was in the beginning.

"Woah"

XD looked smug at Dream's excitement.

"Ah, since I'm here I could help with the redecorating?"

"OH no, no Dream that's quite alright. Now that I've seen the tavern like this again I actually quite like it! So, I'll keep it the exact same way that it was."

"Alright, then do you wanna sit down and listen to what I did today?"

"I would be overjoyed"

XD and Dream sat as Dream talked about his classes and the note.

How strange I don't remember this in the storyline...

"Yeah, I'm gonna meet them and I want you to watch me." Dream said

"Yes, I can do that. How are your objectives going?"

"Oh, I found a pencil. I've still got two other things to find though."

"I see, that's pretty good. It's been two days that's good progress"

"Thanks, I'll see you later"

Dream left the tavern.

He decide he would customize his phone a bit. When he opened his phone he was met with his contacts there was a Lover boy, Hot stuff, Blood god, Big Q and Fundage.

He smiled as he looked at his contacts.

There so silly.

Notes:
I hope the lore is making sense.
