"Oh wow." Cam said with the same awkward laugh that Tommy had.
"Yeahhhhhhhh." He said.
The tension in the air could cut through steel.
"I guess I'll give my opinions first." Tommy said.
He sighed. "I guess... it's a little weird. It doesn't make me uncomfortable but it's just strange to have people ship you with a friend. Ya know?"
"Yeah, yeah." Cam said. "I'd have to agree. Now, how I look at it..."
She sighed. "I don't know how to word this without it sounding bad. I guess... I understand it. Because Ive seen people ship people from like a television show or something and I'd be like 'oh yeah I can see that.' But it just feels weird when you're the one being shipped."
Tommy stayed silent.
"I guess my final thoughts are... I understand it but it's strange. But then again, doesn't make me uncomfortable. So if that's what makes you happy, have a grand ol' time." She finished.
"Yeah, agreed." Tommy spoke up.
Cam looked over to see Clay enter the room and sit on his bed. He motioned for her to mute herself and she nodded.
"Hold on, I'll be back." She said into the mic before muting herself. "What's up?"
"What were you guys just talking about?" He asked.
"Someone asked what we thought about people shipping us." Cam said as she suppressed her smile.
"People are shipping you and Tommy?" He gasped.
"Yeah..." she said with an awkwardness to her voice.
"And what did you say?"
"I said that it's weird but doesn't make me uncomfortable." Cam replied.
Clay raised a brow at her as he smiled.
Cam rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh shut up! Tommy said the same thing."
He held his hands up in defense. "Okay whatever you say!"
Cam scoffed before unmuting herself. "Alright I'm back."
Silence.
"Tommy?"
Silence.
She clicked onto his stream and saw that he was doing his outro. It clicked in her head that he was muted on discord.
She waited patiently for a minute or so for him to finish.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hey." Cam replied.
"Sorry, I was doing my outro."
"It's okay. I guess I should be going now-"
"Wait!" Tommy yelled. "Stay. Just because I'm not streaming doesn't mean we can't talk."
Cam noticed that his voice was way softer.
"Fine." She said sternly even though she was trying her hardest not to smile. "What do you wanna do?"
"Bedwars?"
"Sure."
The pair logged onto Hypixel and joined a bedwars game.
"We're so gonna win." Cam said.
"That's if we're on the same team."
"We better be. I suck at PVP."
"Oh so you expect me to protect you?" Tommy teased.
"Yes."
"Pussy."
"Dick."
"Are we just naming body parts now?"
"Tommy!"
"What?"
Cam laughed as they got teleported to the arena.
"Hey! We're on the same team!" Cam exclaimed.
"Sadly." Tommy mumbled.
"You're a real bitch, you know that?"
"At least I'm not American."
"Oh wowwww." Cam scoffed at his idiocy.
As they played, Cam died more times than she could count. But eventually, Tommy pulled through and won the game for their team.
"Good job, Toms." Cam yelled.
"Toms? That's different."
"Yeah, glad you noticed."
"I-"
Tommy paused at the sound of someone else joining the call.
"Tommy?" The voice said.
"Big Q?" Tommy replied.
"TOMMY!"
"BIG Q!"
"You guys remind me of children." Cam said.
"Woah, Dream, did your balls like.... undrop?" The voice asked.
"Yes." Cam replied.
"Big Q this is Cam, Dream's sister." Tommy said.
"OH HOLA SEÑORITA!" He yelled.
"HOLA SEÑOR!" She said back. She only knew a tiny bit of Spanish that she learned in middle school. She was forced to take two years of foreign language in order to graduate so she got them done early.
"Hablas español?" Quackity asked.
"Un poco." She responded.
"What the fuck are you guys saying?" Tommy intervened.
"Shut up Tommy. Anyways, my name is Quackity, Big Q, whatever you want to call me."
"Why hello there, Quackity." Cam smiled.
"Big Q, just so you know, she's 15. She's a child." Tommy said.
"Oh, perfect. Would you like to buy some drugs, señorita?" Quackity said, putting on an accent.
"No! Big Q she's a kid!" Tommy giggled.
Cam started laughing.
"And why can't kids have drugs, aye?" Quackity ran in front of Cam.
"I'll take some. What do you got?" Cam asked jokingly.
"I got some goods." He said as he dropped bonemeal, pretending it's drugs. "But don't give any to Tomás. He's greedy."
"What the fuck!" Tommy yelled.
"Ayeee, las drogas!!" Quackity yelled as he threw bone meal everywhere, completely ignoring Tommy.
"Las drogas!!!" Cam repeated.
"Cam you seem busy, I'll just go play with Tubbo." Tommy joked as he ran away.
"K bye." She replied.
Tommy stopped and turned around. "K BYE?" He repeated. "THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?"
"Oh sorry." Cam cleared her throat. "Tommy no! Come back! I'll miss you!" She started running after him.
"See, Big Q? All the women love me." Tommy exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, I bet they do." He chuckled.
»»——⍟——««
After talking for a little longer, Quackity left to play with Karl and Tommy had to leave because his mom was yelling at him to do the dishes which Cam found very amusing.
"Did you have fun?" Clay asked as Cam set down the headset.
"Yeah, actually." She responded with a smile.
"You know, I think that you should start streaming. You can start making money early."
"Really? You think I'd be good at it?"
"Yeah!" He exclaimed. "I can make you your own Twitch account and you can use my setup until we can buy you your own."
"Oh my god, seriously?" She yelled as her eyes lit up in excitement.
He shrugged. "Yeah, why not?"
Cam's smile expanded as she got up from the chair and jumped on Clay, surrounding him in a warm hug. He hesitated before wrapping his arms around her and hugging her back.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She said excitedly as she pulled away from the hug.
"Of course." He giggled.
Cam gave him one last smile before leaving his room. As soon as she entered her own, she jumped for joy. She was so excited to start her own channel and be like her brother. She was following in his footsteps and she couldn't have been happier.
She was just glad that she was following in his and not her dad's.
Ding
She got a notification from Twitter.
Quackity followed you.
She smiled as she followed him back.
Immediately, he texted her.

She laughed at his text messages. She could already tell that her and Quackity would become close. They had very similar personalities.
And then suddenly, she got another text.

She playfully rolled her eyes before tapping on it.

Cam clicked the answer button and put the phone facing the ceiling. She wasn't quite ready to show her face.
"Hello?" She said.
"Cam?" The other voice said. She could recognize that shrill voice from anywhere.
"Hey, Tommy." She laughed.
"Heyyyy. So what did you have to tell me?"
"Oh my god, you won't believe it." She stood up from her bed. "Clay is going to help me set up my own Twitch channel so I can stream!"
"No way! That's amazing, Cam!" He exclaimed.
"Right! And I'm going to be able to make money from it!"
"I'm so happy for you!"
Cam giggled as her cheeks heated up.
Did he just- say he was happy for me?
"For your first stream, would you maybe want to stream with me? Ya know, so I can show you the ropes?" He asked.
Cam smiled brightly. "Yeah... I'd like that."
