No one's POV:
Tubbo yawns, holding a bag full of different types of berries. "Do you need a break?" Tommy ask, walking next to his friend. Dream looks back at the two, not wanting tubbo to say yes, after all, could he just stop looking for his kidnapped friend?

Tubbo shook his head. "No.. we can't take breaks, our friend is missing." He rubs his eyes. Tommy nods slowly and continues walking. Dream let's out a sigh of relief. Techno is fidgeting with his crown in his hands, taking glances up every few moments so he doesn't run into anything.

"Fucking hell! Go away, I'm not in the mood for your antics." They hear a voice in the distance say. "Pfffft- whatever gay Schlatt." Is said after, followed by a laugh.  They turn the corner, following the tracks and see wilbur and Schlatt. Wilbur is carrying George on his back.

"thank god he's safe." Dream thinks with a sigh of relief. Wilbur has a guitar strapped to his side, nothing else. Schlatt has goat horns and tail, he's wielding a crossbow. "How many people are here in this.. whatever the hell you call this place..?" Dream questions, practical questioning all of reality at this point.

Wilbur shrugs. "No idea, I only knew Schlatt was here before I met you guys." "Yeah, now can you go bother them instead of me?" Schlatt says, annoyance lacing his voice. "But we should stick together, prick. You think it's smart to go out alone?" Wilbur bonks Schlatt on his head with his guitar.

Schlatt smacks him. "Ow! Rude!" Wilbur says, holding the spot on his face he was smacked. "Okay, stop being immature. Where did you find George?" Dream says, wearing a serious expression.

"Oh, he was being carried by these two guys who kept saying something about ransom and finally capturing 'the pig'. We didn't want George to be in that sorta situation let alone with a bunch of strangers so we took him. It took a while of 'convincing' , but we saved him." Wilbur says with a shrug.

"They tried to use my George for a ransom?! If I was there I would've.. I would've.." dream says, being cut off by sapnap. "Woah, slow down there buddy, 'my George'?" Sapnap smirks. Dream blushes slightly, a light pink spreading across his freckled face.

"Sh-shut up, I didn't mean it like that. Anyways, we just need to find whatever place is after us and find a way to resolve conflict or just erase ourselves from the conflict all together." He said, trying to move past what he had said. Everyone brushes it off as Dream wants. "There's no way to just resolve it, I'm not giving my crown back." Techno says as he puts his crown atop of head.

"You're so immature, it's most likely the only way to get ourselves a chance." Tubbo says, eating some of his berries he picked. "Says you." Tommy says. "I'm trying to be reasonable here, Tommy! Don't be rude." Tubbo huffs in annoyance, his halo glimmering.

Tommy's thin demon tail sway slowly behind him as he looks away from tubbo, offering no apology. Tubbo goes to say something, but stops himself and instead storms off. "Tubbo..! We have to stick together." Techno says, trying to get his friend to come back, but tubbo ignores him and continues on his way away.

Tommy looks in the direction tubbo stormed off, wearing a guilty expression. "I.. I-I didn't mean that, tubbo.." he mumbles quietly to himself. Dream sighs. "We'll get him back, he probably needs a moment to himself." He says, looking around at the group. Wilbur and schlatt nod in agreement.

"Are you crazy? I'm not sure you're remembering where we are, did you forget techno getting chased by a giant moose thing, George being kidnapped from his own roo-" sapnap starts, though getting cut off. "Yes I remember!" Dream shouts, stirring awake the sleeping George on Wilbur's back.

"What..?" He mumbles, looking up in the direction of the shouting. "Oh, sorry George.." Dream says, lowering his voice. "Wilbur, could you let me down?" George ask. Wilbur obliges and let's george off his back. George walks over to dream and wraps his arms around dream, leaning into him.

"C-could you stay with me next time I go to sleep, I-I don't wanna be alone." He mumbles quietly, though loud enough so dream can hear him. Dream smiles softly and wraps his arms around the shorter male, softly petting the feathers on his wings. "Mhmm" he hums in response to George's request.

Dream's and George's sweet moment is ruined by tubbo's loud scream in the distance. Tommy panics, rushing over there, holding his throwing knives in hand. The crew follows him, not having much of an option if they wanted to keep their friend safe. They find tubbo backed up against a tree by some sort of green slime. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

Tommy charges it and tries to push it away from tubbo, bouncing off the slime and being thrown into the group. Wilbur catches Tommy and stands him up. "Stop being reckless Tommy.." he says, not noticing the green slime had change its attention to the group.

It charges sapnap, who runs away. "WHY ME?!" He shouts as he runs, though being caught and practically squished by the slime. "Urk-!" He struggles as he tries to get out from below the slime, but quickly learning he can't move any of his limbs.

Techno rushes at the slime and slices through the slime, then pulling his sword back. The slime regenerates quickly, leaving no mark of where techno had previously sliced through. "What the fuck..?" He mutters as he steps away from the slime.

"Well, since sapnap can't melt the thing, I know what I should do." Wilbur says, holding his guitar in hand. "What are you gonna do, play it a lullaby-?" Tommy's tangent is cut off by a loud strum, wilbur's guitar starting to glow. He starts to play. the slime seems to calm. He hums softly as he plays, bugs starting to crawl on top of the slime.

"HEY! I'm still under here! Get rid of the damn bugs, agh!" He tries to keep his face away from the bugs. Millions of ants, worms, caterpillars, spiders, and just other bugs are on top of the slime. "Eat." Wilbur says quietly. The bugs start to devour the slime in front of everyone.

Tubbo gags in disgust, looking away from the bugs taking their hunger to the slime. Sapnap get's from under the slime and burns the entire thing, shooting fire from the palms of his hands. "Fuck all that." he says with a snicker, his eyes glowing a vibrant orange. He steps away from the fire.

"Hey hey hey! No forest fires, snapmap!" They hear someone say, then look over and see a fox eared male shooting water from his hands to put the fire out. "I don't even know if I'm happy I found you." He says looking up a Wilbur.

"Furrryyy! You got real fox ears."wilbur says with a smug smile, earning a growl from fundy."I'm not a furry!" He shouts, his fox ears twitching in anger. "We're gonna have to share rooms at this point, there's not enough room in the cabin." Tubbo says with an awkward chuckle.

"I know who I'm rooming with." George says, looking up at dream. "I'm rooming with Tommy!" Tubbo says rushing to Tommy and hugging him, Tommy rolling his eyes. "Wow, you're so clingy tubbo." "Whatever you say Tommyinnit" tubbo chirps in response.

The group share a collective laugh, then heading on their way back home, happy they got new people to talk to. Though they all share one thought. "This is gonna be one hell of an adventure."
