Dream Team Plus One

Part Eleven

Grace woke up alone in her bed, part of her was disappointed but she couldn’t place why. The other two boys were flying in tomorrow so Clay and Grace had one more day alone together. She got out of bed and tiptoed past the guest room to see her guest asleep, hugging one of the pillows. She rushed back to her room to clean up the mess from last night. After taking out the trash and putting away the leftovers, she got started on breakfast. “I need to treat him to an iconic Grace breakfast,” she thought to herself. She pulled out a box of mac and cheese and started boiling water. “I need some music,” she pulled out her phone and shuffled her personal playlist. The first song to play was “You’ll Be Back” from Hamilton. She laughed and sang along in her best british accent.

Upstairs Clay was awoken by the soft sound of music and singing. He quickly got out of bed and crept downstairs, not to disturb the show he knew was going on downstairs. He stood in the door watching Grace sing and dance around the kitchen.

Not realizing someone was watching her, Grace continued her concert in the kitchen. The next song to come on was “Just a Dream”. Thinking Clay was still upstairs asleep, so quietly sang along, still dancing around. “I opened my eyes yeah it was only just a dreammmmm,” she sang along.

“You called,” Clay stepped out from the doorway he was hiding in.

“DON’T DO THAT,” Grace stood frozen in place, “how much did you see…?”

“Enough to know that you have a pretty nice british accent”.

Grace buried her face in her hands, “oh my gosh, this is so embarrassing.

“Oh come on, everyone does it,” he walked over and grabbed her arm, “what’s for breakfast”.

“Mac and cheese,” Grace watched as Clay started mumbling the lyrics and slightly dancing around, “if you’re gonna do it, you have to go all out”.

Pretty soon they were both dancing around the kitchen while singing.

Once the food was done, they both sat at the kitchen table eating and chatting. “Any plans for today?” Clay asked.

“I was thinking we could play minecraft, on the xbox,” Grace smirked.

“I can give it a try,” he took a big bite of his food, “I’m still going to beat you”.

“Don’t talk while you eat, especially when you’re lying. You forget I started playing on xbox, and also have a stream series on it”.

“Come on, everyone knows I’m the best at Minecraft, how hard could it be?”

“If you’re so sure, how about I stream it? I never stream xbox with my facecam so you don’t have to worry about being in frame. I also have a second xbox and mc account”.

“Wait why?”

“Dove didn’t want hers anymore so she gave it to me, along with the password to her mc account”.

“Let's do it then, but uh, just one thing”.

“What?”

“The boys don’t know I’m here early”.

“Well they’re going to learn today, I want to stream me destroying you in mc bedrock”.

“Fine, let's do it”.

After quickly cleaning up the kitchen, Grace and Clay made their way over to the office.

“Give me a minute to set up the second tv and xbox,” Grace started pulling things out of the closet. Clay sat on his phone and tweeted out about the upcoming stream.

@dreamwastaken
head over to @therealgracie23 twitch to see me destroy her in mc bedrock

After a few minutes of getting everything ready, the time finally came to really see who was better. Grace started her stream and was immediately surprised at the amount of people already there. “This is way more than my usual viewers”.

“I may have tweeted about us playing,” Clay confessed.

“Hey guys! Thank you all for joining us today, early bird brownie points go to-” she was cut off.

Clay began reading out the names of the first couple commenters, “now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s start our bedrock speedrun!”

Everyone in the chat started freaking out, Dream and Grace had never done a collaboration with just the two of them before. Of course the shippers came out in full force.

“Hey, I always read them!” Grace started up a new survival world and waited for Clay to join her. He just sat there and stared at the controller, “what are you waiting for? I thought you were the best, wouldn’t you want to prove that as soon as possible?”

“I-,” his face went red, “can, can you explain the controls to me again?”

Grace lost it, even though she tried to calm herself down. Her stomach began to hurt from laughing while tears streamed down her face, “this is going to be the easiest challenge to win”.

Clay just sat there glaring at her, “shut up Grace and HELP ME!”

After taking a long drink of water and a couple deep breaths, Grace explained the controls to him. They ran off together to collect wood and start their task of beating the game. Clay kept stumbling around but eventually he got comfortable with everything.

“Hey look, we got a dono from Sapnap,” Grace read it out, “how dare you guys hangout before I get there >:(“

“Sorry, you’ll be here soon,” Clay remarked without any thought.

Chat exploded with excitement. This was the first public confirmation that the group would be meeting in person.

“Good going Dream, now I’ll never hear the end of this from my fans”.

The stream went fairly well, Grace did end up showing her superior skills though.

“This was rigged, I call hacks,” Clay protested to the chat.

The pair ended the stream only after Grace read out the entire end credits as they scrolled on.

“That is the most annoying thing you have ever done the entire time I have ever known you,” Clay got up and walked to the kitchen to grab a drink.

Grace followed after him, “whatever, I want to show you something,” she grabbed his arm and led him to the back door, “put on your shoes”.

“Why?”

“Just do it, please?”

“Fine”.
