After a bit of climbing, Tommy finally reaches the top of the mountain. He looks to his side and sees an ender pearl land on the ground, followed by Dream. They continue to walk as Dream puts the rest of his ender pearls in his pocket. Occasionally, Dream will turn to see if Tommy is close behind. Tommy, unsurprisingly, follows behind like a puppy follows its master, amusing Dream. They both come to a slow stop as Dream moves down the small dip in the mountain.

This confused Tommy greatly. They, no HE, climbed a mountain, only to go back down? Nether the less, Tommy followed. Slowly and carefully, the duo made their way down. Tommy felt on edge, but discarded his unease. Dream was a friend, the only person Tommy can truly trust. Tommy despised himself for even thinking about Dream betraying him. Dream was with him through thick and thin. Sure, Dream got mad sometimes, but that was just because Tommy did something wrong! It's not Dream's fault that Tommy is a useless child that can't do anything right! If anything, Dream gave Tommy purpose. Dream made Tommy feel happy when he was upset, so the least Tommy could do is repay the favor.

They reached the bottom and Dream looked back to make sure Tommy was still there. Tommy put of a goofy grin and Dream smiled softly. He truly had Tommy right where he want. Well, almost. Dream took out his picaxe and chuckled as Tommy watched with interest. Dream mined a small opening as Tommy watched from behind. "Woah.." Tommy stared at the hollowed mountain in amazment.

Dream ruffled the teen's hair and frowned at the sudden flinch. "Don't worry so much, nucklehead!" Dream said as he walked into the mountain. Tommy practiclly bounced with excitement. This is the first new place he had been to in a while. "Jeez, calm yourself. We aren't even there yet." Dream chuckled as Tommy's excitement only grew. They were in a cool hollowed mountain and they weren't even to the destination?!

 That's when Tommy noticed something off in the room. Sat in the middle of the room was a weird box looking thing and a lever. "What's that?" Tommy asked, it had been about an hour since he had last spoken, so his voice was a bit hoarse. Dream smiled at the teen's curiosity.

Walking over to the lever, Dream answered his question, "Stand on it, it's the entrance." Tommy nodded and walk to the weird box. He stood on the interior of the dark shape as Dream put his hand on the lever. "You ready?"

"Huh? Oh! Y-yeah." Tommy answer, his breath shaking a small bit. What exactly was he ready for? Suddenly the ground dropped and Dream hopped onto the platform. Tommy looked down and saw a huge room that was made of obsidian and bedrock, there seemed to be a small hallway off to the side. On one wall was what seemed to be a huge portal in the making. On either side of the portal was many item frames and large podiums that also seemed to be in the making.

"Sorry, it's not the prettiest place." Dream looked at Tommy. "I could mine out a room for you and you could decorate it, if ya want. I could also just build on the inside, though I dout you want obsidian walls." Dream rubbed the back of his head as he looked at the large base that he called a home. It was still a work in progress, though he may have to stop working on the display for Tommy's disks. Although Tommy may appretiate the display, now that he thinks about it. Meanwhile, Tommy was practiclly squelling with joy. "I was working on a sort of stage for you to put you discs. If you don't want to, that's fine. I just thought you would like a display of sorts." Dream made sure to pick his words carefully. One wrong word and the past 5 years of work would go up in flames.

"This may be the coolest place I've ever seen, Dream! And I get my own room here?! This is so fucking pog!" Tommy was speaking fast. His joy of having something new for a change was showing. "Also a stage for my discs? Down here? This might be the best day ever. Literally nothing could happen to them down here." Dream smiled, though no one could see it. The plan was going smoothly.

"Do you still want to stay in Logstedshire, or do you want to live here?" Dream asked. He new that Tubbo was planning to visit Tommy in a few weeks, so Dream needed to make sure that didn't happen. If he could get Tommy to move here and not rebuild what had exploaded, things would go smoothly.

Luckly for him, Tommy had no desire to go back. He may have spent five years there, but he was desprate to leave the whole time. This was his chance. "I'll still get to go outside, right?" Tommy asked. As long as he didn't go running to L'Manburg or any other residence, Dream saw no problem with letting Tommy outside with him.

They step off the platform and Dream comes to a conclusion. "I don't see why you can't go outside.. Sure, just don't leave the area and it should be fine." Dream paused for a moment. It sounds strange for his to just keep Tommy 'in the area' without a reason. "I just wanna make sure you don't get hurt and I can't find you." Dream clarified. It was half true.

Tommy nodded in understandment. Dream was glad that Tommy was being so cooperative. "Oh, the mask! You said you made one for me!" Tommy's smile grew, if that was even possible. Dream had almost forgotten about the mask. Tommy must really want it if he still remembers it after so many hours.

After letting out a few chuckles, Dream makes his way over to one of the enderchests. He pulls out a shiny, rounded mask that had a black frown on it. "I though it would be a cool friendship token for us. It took about a month to make." Dream handed the mask to Tommy, who excitedly took it.

Tommy inspected the mask. The eyes and mouth were a pitch black and seemed to be carved into the white base. "This is so cool.." Tommy spoke, more to himself than to Dream.

"Heh, glad you like it. Want me to put it on for you?" Dream asked as he watched the blonde admire the mask.

"S-sure." Tommy handed the mask back to Dream while Dream moved behind him. The mask was light weight and had a simple string to tie in the back. Unlike Tommy's, Dream's mask had only a single string. Dream tied the sting into a nice bow, he knew next time Tommy would put it on, he would just tie it into a knot, but Dream wanted it to look nice. "Do I look cool?" Tommy asked.

"I mean, you look like me. Do I look cool?" Dream said, though he did have to admit, the kid did look cool.

Tommy's fist suddenly goes in the air as he does a little cheer to himself. "So I do look cool!" Dream smiles at the childish actions.

"Yeah, I suppose you do." Tommy smiles at Dream's words. "Now, where do you want me to put you room?"
