"You're not going to like what I found" Skeppy handed Dream a paper.

It wasn't much, just a normal sized piece of paper. The words on it were neat and clean, as if it had been printed from a computer.

"Where'd ya find it?" Dream asked, starting to look over the paper.

"I found it on the floor near admin, someone must've dropped it" Skeppy replied.

"Hurry up and read it" Skeppy spoke again.

Dream scanned the paper. It was relatively simple. The heading of the paper at the top was 'subject 1374'. It listed the name 'Antfrost' under the line listing the specific subject name. After that he saw the paper listed an injection site, the subjects arm. Along with something labled 'Serum: fr13' And at the very bottom it had the words that simply said 'Experiment: Success or Failure'. The word 'Success' was circled.

Dream took a moment to think for a second about what all this meant.

"So what do you think this implies?" Dream asked, waiting to see what Skeppy thought before he was going to add to the conversation.

"I think that Badboyhalo's disappearance has some sort of correlation to all these alleged experiments we've heard, and I've seen, happen" Skeppy sounded a bit on edge.

"That makes sense, considering they didn't even bother to call his name during roll-call" Dream agreed.

"So maybe we just have to wait and see if Badboyhalo reappears again?" Skeppy came to the only possible conclusion.

"Sounds like a good plan" Contrary to what he had just said though, Dream sighed in frustration.

The two stood in silence for a few seconds.

"Dream?" Skeppy hesitantly spoke.

"Yea?" Dream responded.

"What if your plant powers aren't just a random coincidental thing? What if they're planned by something?" Skeppy said.

"I don't like where your train of thought is going" Dream had a terrible feeling in the pit of his stomach now.

"Hey Dream!" George's voice called over as him and Sapnap ran over to him.

"You can't just leave mid conversation to go off and stare at nothing" George sounded a bit frustrated.

Dream snapped around quickly, chucking the paper he'd been holding off to the side. Skeppy stood and watched but didn't say anything.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that" Dream apologized.

"Gym is over, it's time for free time" One of the speakers blared.

"I guess that means we should be leaving gym, where'd do you guys wanna go?" Dream rushed towards the entrance with Sapnap and George following him.

"Common room?" Sapnap suggested as the three stepped out the door.

"Sure!" George responded.

Dream was about to follow before he realized that he'd forgotten the paper in the gym. And now I have to go get it. Dream thought a bit frustratedly to himself.

"I'll catch up, I forgot something in the gym" Dream swiftly turned around.

"What item can you even forget around here? We own like nothing" Sapnap remarked as Dream continued back into the gym.

Dream felt embarrassed that his excuses were that easy to see through.

When Dream reached the spot that he chucked his paper off to the side, he came to the realization in horror that the paper had disappeared.

"Skeppy!" Dream yelled.

"What? I thought you were going to the common room- oh" Skeppy instantly appeared beside him.

"The paper-" Dream pointed towards the empty ground.

"Huh" Skeppy sounded slightly in disbelief.

"It's gone" Dream continued his sentence.

"Duh! I can see that" Skeppy was exasperated.

"Where could it have gone in the time span of like 30 seconds?" Dream spoke, he was very confused.

"I don't know. I thought you were going to the common room so I left to go there in case you needed me" Skeppy let out a sigh.

"Ah. We'll talk about this later on during free time or after. In the meantime I guess I'll do what I've been wanting to do for quite a bit" Dream sounded a bit ominous but he had a sudden idea spark.

Dream made his way to the plant he'd messed with only a day ago.

"Wait, wait, wait, what are you doing?" Skeppy ran over to him.

"I'm going to move bits of the plant to a few places around the facility, that way I can see how much my powers effect it and I'll be able to use my powers more often. It'll be like a little experiment to test the range of my powers" Dream started to detach bits of the plants delicately from the stem, making sure to watch it grow back after.

"That sounds like a terrible idea! What if they grow wildly and the facility finds out?" Skeppy tried to stop him but unfortunately just phased through him.

"Uh, then so be it? I doubt they will anyway if I find places small enough to limit their growth. Plus even if they do, the facility probably wouldn't assume it's me that did it considering there's a lot of other people here. And plant growth is pretty natural so they'll probably think that it's just some fungi spreading" Dream reasoned, not pausing at all as he gathered more separate bits and pieces of the plant.

"You can't just throw the plant all around the facility" Skeppy spoke.

"Too bad I can, and I will" Dream finished collecting some of the plant, watching it all grow back almost instantly.

Skeppy let out a frustrated sigh.

"Alright, I gotta go and meet George and Sapnap at the common room before they question me again. I'll talk you again probably after free time, in the meantime try and see if there's any clues to who could've moved or took the paper I dropped" Dream said as he made his way towards the door.

Dream felt the facility was eerily empty as he walked through the open hallways. He stopped when he noticed there was a convenient crack in the ground near the entrance of the library. He had three separate pieces of the plant so he hid the first one their, watching it start to root itself in the spot.

He had a feeling it would might die anyway without any soil so there was no harm in trying. But it did perplex him as it took over the tiny hole, making itself grow right in it. Maybe I was wrong.

Dream continued through the hallway this time pausing at admin to stuff another plant into the crack between the door and the wall. He watched as this particular plant bloomed tiny pink flowers.

Finally he reached common room, taking the last piece of plant and delicately placing it into the small crack on the ceiling. This one started to slightly droop from the ceiling and overhang the corridor.

He felt satisfied that he finished placing the plants around the facility. It was kinda exciting to start seeing what the plants would do and if anything particularly unusual would happen.

Dream entered the common room and immediately spotted George and Sapnap sitting in the corner.

"Took you long enough" Sapnap joked.

"Sorry about that. So why did you pick the common room of all places?" Dream asked.
