Dream's POV

The light was barely reflecting into our home, meaning that the bright light source was just waking up again and a new day was just starting. How I wished I could start this day peacefully-But Noo.
I could already hear Drista and Tommy screaming and shouting down each other's throats. I groan in annoyance, getting up from my bed and swimming over to see the two in another room with Techno laying on the floor and Niki trying to calm them down.

Drista had stopped shouting and looked over at me, "Dream!" She lunged herself at me, clinging herself onto my stomach.
"Tommy is being mean to me again!"

Tommy began to protest, "Am not!" He shouted.
"Don't listen to her Big D-She was the one who ate the remaining fish and now there's nothing to eat!"

I sighed, rubbing Drista's long dirty-blonde hair. "I'll go get more food" I say.
"But when I come back I better here from Niki that you guys were behaving well or else I'm not giving you two any"

The two nodded, "We'll be good brother!" Drista said.
"Yeah I'll be on my best behavior Big D!" Tommy smiled.

"Don't call me that, please"

Drista then let go of me, swimming somewhere else. I swam over to Niki, she let out a sigh before smiling at me.
"Thanks for stopping the two, I don't know what I'd do if they kept on fighting"

I shrugged my shoulders,
"No problem" I say.

Looking around the place, I noticed that someone was missing from all of us. Turning back to Niki I say, "Where's Quackity at?"

"He went wandering off again," Niki hummed.

"This early? But the light has just risen?"

"Yeah, he always does that. Swimming out during the nights or mornings then coming back a few hours later with things or all injured." She said,
"Hey-Why not see if you can find him when you're off hunting?"

[Three Hours Later]

No one's POV

Dream smiled proudly as he saw how many fish he had caught. At least twenty to thirty of them were all secured into his kelp bag, plus a few seaweeds nearly hanging out of the bag itself.

This will be enough for them

I hope

Just as he was about to leave and head back he heart a loud noise coming from the cliff. Out of curiosity, Dream slowly swam towards the edge and looked down. Only to see his missing friend laying down on a rock as he looked extremely exhausted.

"Quackity?" Dream called out to the boy, catching his attention immediately as he looked up towards him.
"What are you doing there? I thought you went home by now"

The boy let out an awkward laugh,
"I'm...I'm stuck" He said, looking down in embarrassment as Dream snorted in response.

"You're stuck? As in actually stuck?" Dream laughed, smiling widely enough to reveal his sharp teeth.
"Do you need help?"

"What does it look like?
Of course I need it, dumbass!" Quackity snarled.

"You could have just said it nicer, don't have to be so rude about it" Dream said.
Swimming down to reach the boy, he looked over at the problem. The end of his tail was trapped under some giant rocks.

Looks like there was a rock fall

"How did you even get your tail stuck under there?
I thought you'd at least hear the rock falling at you" He said

Quackity shrugged his shoulders,
"I was just minding my own business and collecting some fish and things..I found at the bottom of the cliff
When all of a sudden they fell onto my tail! Some fell on me completely but it didn't hurt much and I got those off me way faster than this"

Dream chuckled,
"Alright this may hurt but I want you to start swimming when I give you a signal, got it?"

Quackity nodded
Dream got into position, putting his hands around the bottom of the rock.
"Now!" He shouted out, immediately lifting it fully of the ground. Quackity quickly scrambled out of the way, wincing in pain as he did so.

Dream then let go of the giant rock, letting it slowly hit the ground again with a thud. He swam over to Quackity and grabbed him, swinging his arm over his neck as he held him close.
"Come on, let's get you to Niki," Dream said.

Quackity groans,
"Niki is going to kill me if she sees me injured again! Can't you do it?" He said

"Nope, I'm no expert in healing wounds like her" He lied.
Dream obviously knew he could because Niki had taught him back then and still does.

Quackity sighed, "Alright take me to Niki..."

Niki was laying down beside Techno, she quietly hummed a song as she undid his long pink hair and tied it into a bun. She struggled a bit in the beginning since it was a lot of hair, but she managed to finish it in the end.
A few straggles fell to the side of his head but he didn't mind it, instead he put it to the side as he waited patiently for Niki to finish.

Once she did, Techno thanked her before he sat up straight and put his back against the cold rocky wall. His eyes nearly closed when he was playing with the small knife he found years ago.
Niki smiled happily as she got up and swam away. Looking over at the other rooms to see Drista sleeping soundly on her kelp bed and Tommy snoring soundly in his own kept bed, and in another room from hers.

Just as she was about to go to her own room to get something she smelled a strong scent of blood. Drista soon came bursting out of the room and looked around, startling Niki when she saw her wake up so quickly.

"Niki we're back!" She heard Dream about out.
Drista and her went swimming back to the main entrance, looking over to see Dream helping a wounded Quackity.

She sighed, "Again?"

Quackity lowered his head down, not meeting her gaze at all.
"Yeah..." He murmured quietly.

"Did you catch anything?" Drista swam over to her brother. Scanning him for the kelp bag. Quackity was the one who was carrying it so he tossed it to her. Catching it in mid air she immediately saw over to wake Tommy up.

Dream chuckled. Putting Quackity to sit down on the rock as Niki came back with a few kelp and clams.
"How'd it happen this time?" Niki hummed.

"I saw him below a cliff, his fin was stuck under a pile of rocks that he was too weak to get off himself" Dream responded, snickering at the last part.

"Hey it's not my fault!" Quackity protested.
"You're just strong because you're a Mershark! It's not my fault I'm a fucking merman!"

"But Techno's a merman and he's super strong," Niki said.
Silencing Quackity for good as he slipped back onto the wall. Niki giggled, pressing a bit more pressure on the wound with the kelp in her hand.

Dream laughed a bit as well. Swimming over to his place and flopped himself onto his kelp bed. Circling a few times
(Like how dogs do sometimes) before he finally made himself comfortable. Closing his eyes he began to fall into a long sleep...
