"Tommmmmy, oh my god..-"

"I KNOW! It's so much shit, how in the hell does Dream have so much free time???"

You, Tommy, and Tubbo sat in a circle, surrounding the items that apparently belonged to Dream. It was a lot, and some of the stuff looked powerful.

Tubbo turned to Tommy, a baffled expression on his face.

"Remind me how this all happened again??"

"Okay, listen, you probably won't believe me for this, but.."

Tommy suddenly started to hold in laughter, as if composing himself for his own joke.

You sighed.

"What happened, Tommy..?"

"He- h-he-.."

Tommy smacked his leg, since he was sitting criss-crossed, and then finally delivered the punchline.

"He- HE GOT RAN OVER BY A MINECART!"

Tommy wheezed after saying this, absolutely losing it. Tubbo started giggling, however you were just left with a blank face.

"He-.. What?-"

"I know, I'm being dead serious, hahaha! He was just sitting on the rail track and I accidentally sent a minecart rolling!"

Tubbo raised an eyebrow with a smile.

"I have a hard time believing this was 'accidental,' Tommy."

"No no, I swear it was! The only thing that wasn't, was how hard I laughed!"

You then raise a brow, looking upon the clutter of items laid out amongst you three.

"Then why'd you call me, sounding panicked out of your mind?"

"Well, that's the other thing.. I laughed first, then panicked, grabbing all his shit and then called you once I was far away from the crime scene."

You pinch your forehead.

"Why do I have the feeling this won't turn into anything good.."

"Wait wait wait, listen to me (Y/N)!"

You perk your head up, looking at him. His blue eyes showed excitement, as his fists clenched.

"This can be a golden opportunity!"

"For what?"

"To get my discs back!"

Tubbo and you grow curious at this.

"How so? I mean we could fight them better with all this new gear probably, but that would maybe lead to another war-"

"Not like that, Tubbo! I was thinking.. we could use this as a lure. We have Dream's stuff, he'll most likely want it back, right?"

Both you and Tubbo nod, Tubbo looking curious, whilst you looked skeptical.

"Well, if he wants his stuff, then he must pay with the discs! No fighting, no arguing, just a fair trade of items."

You thought about it, and it wasn't a terrible idea. If the other team was willing to listen, it would be quite simple to understand. It was indeed a somewhat fair trade, and it helped both teams.

Well, for your team, it mainly helped Tommy. But.. you would do anything to make him smile again. You have yet to even listen to those discs.

"...Honestly, Tommy, I think that isn't a terrible idea."

"Really, (Y/N)????"

"Mhm! It can be peaceful, and result in good terms for both teams! No wars would have to start, and both you and Dream can benefit with gaining something you'd like to have."

Tommy warmly smiles at your response, even gaining a small glimmer in his eyes. Tubbo held his hands together upon your words.

"That's so wholesome!!"

Tommy stands up, picking up a couple of the items.

"Well then, boys! Let's get on with it, then!"

"Wait, we're going now?"

"Why not? That way, I can let (Y/N) hear the discs!"

You smile, getting up alongside Tubbo to help pick up some of the items.

"I'd like that, Tommy.."

He grows soft upon seeing your warm smile, and soon all three of you began your plan to gain Tommy's discs. Once you had a set plan, you gathered the items and went out to the bridge.

All three of you stood in a line formation, each of you holding a good amount of Dream's items. Up ahead in the distance, you can see a white horse gently galloping down the bridge.

On top of the horse, was Dream. He wore a simple set of iron armor, not as good as his own netherite armor all of you carried.

The moment Dream stops his horse in front of you three, Tommy smirks at him.

"SUP, BITCH BOY!"

"I thought you said this was gonna be peaceful, Tommy-"

"Sshhhhh, I got this- DREEEEEEEAM, my friend! How's it hanging?"

Tubbo giggled at Tommy's sarcastic remarks, and Dream only scoffs.

"I'm surprised you didn't burn my stuff."

"Oh hell no! You'd think any of this good shit would be thrown to waste?! Besides, if I wanted to burn them, (Y/N) over here wouldn't have let me."

"I-"

You stop yourself.

"..He's not wrong."

"See I know you too well, darling- ANYWAYS, DREAM!"

You jolt a bit and blushed at the nickname, but it was like nobody had heard it. Tommy raised a brow as he spoke.

"Let's make this peaceful! We're just three kids, holding your shit. Would we do anything?"

"Hmm.."

"Dream, you're literally the adult here."

"I don't think you would. But what's the catch to get my stuff back?"

"It's easy! Think of it as like a trade! Your items, all of them.. for my discs."

Dream hummed at this, nodding. Almost as if he thought the offer was clever.

"Tempting."

"Come on, Dream! It's just music discs!"

"It's my enemy's music discs."

"But we have alllll your weapons! All your armor, all your tools, everything! All we're asking is for two discs. TWO. DISCS."

Dream crossed his arms, and looked at his horse. Patting it on the top of it's head, he turned back to Tommy.

"You're forgetting that I only have one of the discs. Skeppy has the other, and I'm pretty sure he won't be interested in handing it over."

Tommy's confidence dropped a bit at this, but Dream perked up.

"But, you've convinced me. I have the disc on me, so go ahead and drop the stuff."

You started to question if this was serious.

"No catches?"

"Nope."

You three looked at each other, pondering. Then, you began piling his stuff on the bridge, to which he took. Once he sorted his things, even sighing in relief at one point, he pulled out the Cat disc from his pockets.

You expected him to hand it to Tommy.. but he handed it to you instead.

"There you go. Good to know you kids can be peaceful at times."

You drop to a small frown. Seeing Dream in this nicer and more chill way made you like this side of him. Deep down, you wish he wasn't against you.

You wish you could be friends.

But as soon as Dream handed the disc to you, he turned back around to get on his horse. Tommy and Tubbo playfully stuck out their tongues at him as he left, Dream responding back with a proud middle finger.

Tommy looked at the disc in your hand, expressing pure joy. He started laughing, growing excited the longer he looked.

"I got one back! Sure it would've been nicer to have both, but one is good! We're off to a GREAT start!"

Suddenly, Tommy gasps. Turning to Tubbo, he patted his shoulder.

"Tubbo, do me a favor and let Wilbur know I got one of the discs back, alright? Also tell him how Dream lost his stuff, that shit was hilarious!"

"Oh, sure! What are you two gonna do?"

"We'll catch up with you later big man, alright?"

Tubbo nodded, waving to both of you as he headed off. You handed the disc to Tommy, who took it with a gentle smile. Holding the disc, he held out his other hand to you.

"(Y/N), come with me."

"I've got something grand to show you."

• next time •

You looked out at L'manburg, smiling.

"The music is really nice! No wonder you consider them so valuable, they're lovely!"

"Yeah.."

(Just like you.)
