The "mission " so to speak, would be a difficult one. I concluded that I would have to secretly become friends with Punz. After earning his trust I would have to backstab him and take them both down together. It seemed like an evil plan, becoming someone's friend and then betraying them, but it had to be done.

I rode my horse out of the desert and away from Foolish's home. The sand dunes rolled, and grassy hills in the distance were doing the same. Animals of all kinds, sheep, horses, cows, etc. were roaming about the fields living a carefree existence. They frolicked about and munched on grass and played to the wee hours of the morning. Mobs never attacked them and their only danger was humans. They were always the root of problems.

The spruce forest was lush and dense, humidity in the air from the leaves and the smell of Christmas, though it was mid-july. A cool breeze drifted through my hair, and my horse stopped for a drink. He was a massive stallion, and very much resembles the look of his father, Carl. I had to thank Techno again for Carl Jr. he had been such an amazing companion and helped on my journey already.

Night soon fell, and I made a small camp for the night. It was a bed high up in the trees were mobs won't spawn. The cold outside contrasted the warm of my bed, and I nestled deep within the blanket folds. Whenever I stirred to open my eyes, I saw the moon and stars. It was an illustrous feelings, to know that they were ouot their, and that the universe was so vast. It seemed a bit insignificant to worry about Punz and Dream destroying this world, I mean, it was just a singular planet after all.

Anyways, I rode them to their bunker and opened the latch. I peered inside, the torches recently lit. It was a promising sign that they were still home, or maybe left less than an hour before. I carefully walked down, making my steps quiet just in case. I looked around the corner, hearing footsteps coming my way, and hid between two bookshelves. I saw Dream exit the bunker, and relieved, I completely forgot Punz existed.

I walked down the corridor like I owned the place, and then turned the corner... bumping directly into my enemy. I tried to make a run for it, dart away and escape, but of course he easily grabbed my hand, twisted me around, and pinned me to the floor. Well. That went great...?

"What are you doing here?" He glared down from his position above me.

"Sorry," I muttered, trying to keep my cool, "Just uh, thought I forgot something."

"Forget?" He seemed puzzled, "Forget what? Your common sense?"

"No..." Think Y/n! "I forgot... you?" He just sighed in response. Clearly he wasn't impressed with my *amazing* persuasion skills. Punz let me go and said, "I'll meet you at the forest tonight. You have a lot of explaining to do."

I turned to leave, but he continued and said, "And don't you dare thinking about not showing up."
