Technoblade sat down by a tree, next to Wilbur. "I don't know what to do about it." he said. Wilbur nodded his head, and looked back at him. "Well, you can't just tell the kid out of nowhere. What if he doesn't know?" Across the grass, on a picnic bench sat Tommy surrounded by friends. He was the only one not chatting, and sat in silence, looking miserable. "He has to know." Techno responded to Wilbur. "Look at his face. He just might not know all of it."

A bell rang, and they stood up, grabbed their bags and started walking to class. Techno sat down and let his mind drift away. He knew Tommy was in that place, but how was he meant to tell him exactly what had been happening? He's only a kid. Techno didn't want to scare him, however brave he may seem.

--------

He was back. Back in the place, and walking down the hallway to find Tommy. He couldn't stay long, because he knew they were coming. Techno pushed open the door to the cell and found Tommy sitting there, possibly waiting here, for him. "Hi." Techno looked down and saw the wary smile on Tommy's face. "Come on then. We'd better get through that door."

They sneaked down the corridor, and got to the door. Gently putting his hand on the handle, Techno whispered to Tommy, "Careful now."

Slowly pushing open the wooden door, they heard footsteps behind them.

-------

Techno woke up, Wilbur and Phil next to him, shaking him awake. Techno's eyes widened as he realised what happened. Would Tommy still be there? Is he now stuck? Trapped? Phil looked at him, and asked if he was okay. "I think so." However, I'm not sure about that Tommy kid." They got up, and Techno looked around. They were sitting on the floor of the library, behind a bookshelf, and now that he was thinking about it, how had they even managed to get him there?

Wilbur got up, and grabbed his bag. "Might as well go and grab lunch while we can." They joined him, and started heading downstairs to get some food. After getting lunch they went outside, and sat under the tree. The same tree where Techno and Tommy first talked about his potato war. That had ended now, with Techno coming out as the victor. To many people that wasn't a surprise, as Techno was a hard driven person and mostly got what he wanted. It had lasted for a few months, with both players putting in masses of work.

"Techno?" Phil questioned him. "Do you know anything else about that place? We might be able to find something about it."

"Uh, well i guess it's like a dream world. It doesn't feel real but it also does."

"Lucid dreaming maybe? That sounds something like it." Wilbur asked.

"But I thought you couldn't lucid dream with someone else. I know at least Tommy is there."

"I think I found something, it's a different world kind of thing." Phil started to read aloud from the website he found. "A small amount of people experience a sensation known as Dream Syndrome." It is a type of lucid dream that has other people involved. It is often used to make plans and such things. Sometimes it can be confused with reality, making people not know which is real and which is not, causing many mental illnesses."

"Well. That sounds dangerous." Wilbur said.

"And scary. What's it like there Techno?"

"Well, I always wake up in a cell kind of room, with bars in the door. But this time it was different. I woke up in the hallway outside of it, and had to go back to find Tommy. Outside of the cell is a round room, with a lantern in the middle. Then there is the hallway, kind of hidden in the corner. With a door at the end."

"Anything else?"

"I'm not really sure. There has to be something through that door."

The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch. Techno hadn't touched his sandwich, and sat staring at it miserably. "When do you think it's going to... stop?"

Phil looked down at his phone. "There is no cure for Dream Syndrome. The rare amount of people that get it slowly suffer and become more and more downcast."

"Oh."

They got up and began walking to their next class. Techno was dragging slightly behind, stuck in his thoughts. He might not be able to escape this. If it's so rare how have two people from the same school managed to get it?

Phil and Wilbur looked back at him, concerned. "We can't just keep playing it off like nothing's happening. Look at him. I've never seen him this miserable."

"Not even when he lost that duel to you?" They shared a subdued laugh, thinking back to the memory. Techno had challenged them both to duels, and after beating Wilbur, he got too cocky, and let Phil slip by him, killing him. It had been such a good night, all three of them staying up late into the night laughing and having fun. It was barely like that any more, with Techno getting no sleep over this 'place'.

"I just wish there was something we could do."
