—Quackity’s perspective— 

Nightmare explained everything to Quackity.    

He wasn’t too sure whether it was the entire truth, but it did seem convincing.

“So… Dream really was possessed?” He whispered, eyes wide. “And everything was your fault?”

“Yes, and no,” the Dreamon said. “ Dream still believes that attachments are unneeded, he dethroned George— We had a partnership… until he was thrown in prison. After that, Dream stopped being cooperative. Until after I got a physical body,  I could do nothing about him. I could not even stop him from seducing the warden.”

Quackity gaped at him. “Okay, now you’re spilling bullshit.”

“It is not a lie!” Nightmare cried. “ No one has told you this, but Dream had a luxurious stay in prison. My little bird played with Sam well enough to get some things he needed. Dream was treated like a noble, not a prisoner. Sam provided enough comfort and love for Dream that he stopped playing the role of the Warden. Why do you think he refused to let you in the prison?”

Quackity said nothing. He simply just couldn't believe that Sam would turn and become someone like that.

“Anyway, putting that aside… Dream truly has lost his memories. However, this was a tactical plan of his.”

“Plan?” Quackity questioned.   

“Yes.” Nightmare explained. “ You see, Dream has planted those ‘evidence’ in the prison to make it seem like he is innocent. After the prison break, he used magic to wipe off his memories and teleported himself to his home server. He knew eventually that the server would slowly die, and you SMP citizens would look for a way to save it. Eventually finding him. You cannot question him or be too hard on him as he has forgotten everything, and the ‘evidences’ he planted back at the prison would make you feel all guilty enough for you to forgive him. Thus, he has everyone at the palm of his hand again. A brilliant plan, I must say.”

...

He knew it. Even if Dream’s memories were actually gone, he still orchestrated all of this to make himself seem innocent. And his sister was part of it!

He f**king knew it!

“And this is where my preposition comes in,” The Dreamon said. The raven-haired looked back at him with interest. 

“You do not desire for Dream to stay here and wish for him to stay locked up. I disagree, however, I do wish to take my little bird back… to sum up, we desire for Dream to disappear from this server. If we cooperate with each other for a little while, we can make Dream willingly leave the server as naturally as possible. We can pull the strings in the dark without you or me being openly involved.  I get my pet back, you get your fiancé and friends back, as well as continue to grow your power. Then we shall part ways.”

The ravenette contemplated.

It didn’t sound that bad of a deal. If Sam truly was infatuated with Dream, he’d give up on that bitch if he willingly leaves the server, then Quackity would get his business partner. The same could be said with Fundy. And his fiancés, yes, he wanted them back and make them pay more attention to him once Dream leaves.  

Then Las Nevadas will finally be properly established.

“So, do we have a deal?”

Nightmare stretched his hand to him, Quackity stared at the hand hard.

He gave a wicked grin. 

“Deal.”

He shook the Dreamon hand.
