Stick to the Script

Chapter 18

Suddenly, Tommy gasps. "Oh my gosh!" 

Me and Tubbo turn to see the largest mountain I have ever seen. "That's insane!" 

"That's where we are heading", Tommy says solemnly as he holds up the compass. 

Tommy rows us to the shore and we all climb out of the boat, staring at the massive landform looming overhead. "Well... let's get climbing", Tubbo says. 

We slowly make our way up the mountainside, Tommy grumbling the whole time. At the top Dream is waiting. 

"Hello", Dream says, eerily calm. "How was your journey here?" 

"Why did you need us here, Dream?", Tommy asks. 

"Why are we here?", Tubbo echoes. 

"I mean- I have what you want, and you've come to take it, right?", Dream says slowly, as if he is talking to an idiot. 

"Yeah, but why would you tell us that you're here?", I ask.  

"It's better than being in an area everyone else is in. Here it's private- it's secluded. And we have time to ourselves, you know?", Dream elaborates. 

"Dream, you left me a note saying you'd be here and that only us three could come. Why?", Tommy demands. 

"Well, it's been you and Tubbo since the beginning- and how could I miss your new friendship with y/n- but it's been you and Tubbo versus me for the discs, right?" 

"Yeah." 

"So that's why you're here!", Dream exclaims, like what he is saying is obvious. 

"But why did you call us here? You said come here, meet me. That the discs would be here". 

"I did say that". 

"Why?" 

"Because I wanted you to come here". 

Dream summons a stack of obsidian and begins building into the sky. 

"What are you doing?", Tubbo calls up to Dream.

Dream doesn't respond and continues to build his obsidian structure- now adding walls. When he is satisfied with his build, Dream looks up to lock eyes with Tommy. He then begins playing the music disk Mellohi. 

"No! You son of a- ", Tommy yells. 

"Let's just listen to some tunes while we talk", Dream says with a chuckle.

"What is it you want to say?", I yell at him, annoyed with his ambiguity.

"I'll let the music speak for me". 

Tommy whispers something to Tubbo, handing him his sword. Tommy looks back up at Dream. 

"What is it you want to say?", Tommy calls up, drawing Dream's attention.

"I wanna say good luck. That's what I want to say". 

Tubbo slinks away, trying to get behind Dream. Dream immediately notices and draws out his bow. Tommy takes this as a sign to fight- rushing Dream to reclaim the discs. Dream starts attacking Tubbo and I rush to his aid. We both scream incoherently for Tommy to get the disc while Dream is distracted. 

"I'VE GOT IT- I'VE GOT THE DISC!", Tommy screams. 

"GO-GO-GO", Tubbo yells back. 

"Oh Tommy", Dream calls calmly. 

Dream continues to slash away at me and Tubbo as we attempt to defend Tommy who is climbing Dream's obsidian structure. 

"Drink the potions we got", Tubbo commands.
