misunderstanding
real life !
Right after Cindy finished the rest of her schoolwork, she shoveled all the paper and writing utensils inside her backpack before sitting on her swivel chair to attend to her computer. Opening the Discord application, she placed on her headphones and joined the supposed voice channel for her and Dream. Surprisingly, they weren't alone.
"HEYA CINDYMINDY." Sapnap's loud yet energetic voice rang through her ears from the headphones.
The bluenette grinned, "Hey, Sapnap. What are you doing in our channel?"
"Sorry, Cindy." Dream exhaled a defeated sigh, to which Sapnap, George and Karl laughed at. "They kept bugging me about our practice. Would it be okay for us to train with them along? I already sent you the server IP by the way."
"It's alright, I don't mind at all. Especially, Karl. He is my number one supporter!" Cindy claimed proudly.
"YEAH!" Karl cried enthusiastically, agreeing with her statement. "I'm even wearing blue right now!"
Cindy informed them for muting herself in the channel to prepare her tabs and camera. "Poggers! Let me just start up my stream and then I'll join in a bit ya'll."
In about three minutes, the bluenette started her stream by waving at the camera before peering over the chat that instantly came rolling in.
"Hey ya'll, Sunimindy here! I'm about to practice with Dream for my duel this weekend." Cindy told the chat which they instantly got wild at.
user2 | HEY GIRLIE GOODLUCK!!
user31 | i'm sure you'll beat dream
user68 | POGGERS
user15 | GO SUNI <3
The bluenette wasted no time joining in the supposed Minecraft server shortly after talking to her chat. It was a simple survival world and by the time she spawned in a flower field, Dream, Sapnap, George and Karl appeared up and about not too long after.
"My chat says hi to all of you." Cindy couldn't help but giggle the reaction of her viewers upon seeing the Dream Team along with Karl in her stream.
"HEY MAMAS!" Sapnap directed his signature line to her chat, in which they couldn't help but laugh at.
"Okay, I'll give you the kit and then we'll start." Dream intervened once their laughter subsided.
As Cindy patiently waited for Dream to type in the command, the three boys decided to strike up a short conversation with her. George was the first one to speak up. "Hey, Cindy?"
"Yeah? What up, GeorgeNotFound?" Cindy questioned with a chuckle escaping her throat.
"She even speaks like Tommy now." George groaned in slight annoyance, to which Sapnap and Karl laughed at.
"Sorry! I got used to it because he keeps calling you that." She told him, "But, yeah? What were you saying?"
"It's fine." George sighed, deciding to brush it off instead. "So, how are you feeling about your incoming duel this weekend?"
The bluenette leaned back to the headrest of her swivel, gaming chair before answering. "Just a bit nervous but I'm sure I'll pull through!"
"Does everyone know who you are going to head to head with this weekend?" Karl inquired.
Cindy shook her head in response before looking at the camera with a smile, "Nope, I want it to be a surprise for everyone. Sorry, chat!"
user27 | awww
user38 | it's ok suni :)
user11 | ITS OKAY QUEEN
hater | why so secretive :/
"Oh, hey! I got my kit." Cindy said, as she equipped the full-diamond armor set with the diamond axe in hand. "Thanks, Dream."
"Ready, Cindy?" Dream inquired as he equipped his own armor and weaponry.
A delicate smile rose to her lips as she cracked her knuckles before taking a hold of her mouse and keys. "Ready as I'll ever be."
Without any further ado, the bluenette made her pixelated character lunge at Dream headfirst and with two intensive clicks of her mouse, she managed to hit him before he could even react.
"What the fuck? You're so fast!" Dream commented as he jumped and aimed a critical hit at her to retaliate her first hit at him but she had managed to click right on time to block it with her shield.
"Of course." Cindy simply answers in response as she jumped to side and landed a critical hit on him.
"Not bad at all." Dream cackled as he hit her character twice but was unable to strike a critical hit. "You're pretty good at this."
"Thank you." She laughed mischievously.
"Let's go, Mindy!" Sapnap and Karl cheered from afar, the two along with George were in spectator mode as they watched the two duel. "You can do it, Cindy!" Karl screamed, "I believe in you, you got this!"
"Go Dream! Go Cindy!" George showed full-support towards the two.
The two continued to strike and block each other's hits, none of them were going easy. Both were equally skilled of the combat strat, all was going steady until Cindy had managed to kill the green man first with her health at two hearts, using her bow and arrow.
"Oh my god, she killed Dream." Sapnap was in awe. "That was like five minutes! What the honk!"
"POG!" Cindy screamed with overwhelming joy, her voice peaking into the microphone of her headset simultanously. "That was intense dude."
"Oh, hell no." Dream was going to take the 'L' just yet, he was determined to beat her despite their duel being a simple practice. "Again, I want a rematch. First to ten, I wanna beat you." He chuckled.
"Okay, okay." Cindy nodded as she waited for him to type the command that would replenish their health bar once again to full. The smile on her face, never subsiding.
The two began another match almost in an instant and as they fought off each other with their diamond axe and shields.
"So, Cindy." Dream inquired, sparking up another conversation in order to the lighten up the tension of their duel and taking a hit from her in the process. "What's your plan with the prize money if you win?"
The bluenette fell into silence for a brief second as she blocked Dream's arrows to give thought of his question. "Easy, I plan to buy myself some k-pop merch and do a giveaway!"
As the two of them continued to talk throughout their duel, a notification chime from Discord emerged through her headphones in which she, along with her friends and stream viewers, heard audibly.
Momentarily, her guard fell short and with that, Dream took the win but killing her off with two critical hits.
"Oh, damn.." She mutters under her breath almost in a stammer as the game incidates she died. "Okay, who the fuck was that?!"
In huff, Cindy clicked on the Discord tab to see him calling her. A sharp breath escaped her lips. "Oh my god."
Dream inquired in concern, "You good?"
"I'm good, I'm good. Let me just mute real quick chat, sorry!" The bluenette informed her stream viewers before muting herself and her friends from them.
"Tommy's calling me." She informed all of them, adjusting her headphones before answering the call herself.
The ever so familiar accent screamed in her ears from the headphones. "CINDY LET ME JOIN THE FUCKING SERVER. I'VE GOT SOME IMPORTANT BUSINESS WITH YOU WOMAN."
"WE ARE LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT TOMMY." Dream argued back, hearing Tommy loud and clear from Cindy's own audio.
"SHUT UP GREEN MAN, I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU." Tommy retorted back through Cindy's audio call. "I'M TALKING TO CINDY."
With that, her supposed training got immediately got postponed. Dream and Tommy had began to argue, it wasn't as serious though. It lasted about five minutes of just screaming 'bitch' and 'fuck off' for the most part. Cindy, along with George, Sapnap and Karl just spent the five minutes laughing their ass off at their argument.
"Alright, can we please resume our duel?" Dream groaned, sighing a long breath of defeat as he whitelisted Tommy into the server.
"Yeah." Cindy giggled before unmuting herself from the stream, letting the audio come rolling back in.
She peered over her chat to apologize for muting but realized that she had failed to mute her audio and everyone heard the entire conversation.
user66 | OMG TOMMY??
user | tommy do be jealous of dream lol
user | AWW JEALOUSINNIT!!
user76 | NOT YA'LL SHIPPING THEM..
user12 | not poggers guys.. dont ship..
hater | i thought she was supposed to mute it? she intentionally did not.
Just like that, the bluenette ended her stream almost in an instant without even saying goodbye. She wasn't going to deal that, she just got back.
"THE BIGMAN HAS ARRIVED!" Tommy joined the minecraft server that Dream sent him and let him enter their channel on Discord. "FIGHT ME WOMAN!"
"SHE'S FIGHTING ME FIRST, TOMMY." Dream argued back, hitting him with a critical hit of his diamond axe.
"Cindy, you ready?" He shifted his attention towards the girl he was supposed to fight. "You there?"
"Yeah, just ended my stream early." She answered vaguely in return.
Dream was certain that he was not the only one who found her response sketchy but he, along with George, Sapnap and Karl, spoke nothing of it.
"Alright!" Sapnap decided to ease the quiet and sudden awkward tension that her response built up. "Let's start the fight!"
"WIN THE DUEL CINDY!" Tommy, along with George and Karl, cheered at the bluenette as she readied herself. Except he seemed to be oblivious with the tension from earlier. "SHOW THAT GREEN MAN WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF."
Cindy managed a giggle at the praise and support of her friends. "WILL DO TOMMY!"
