dream switches his voice changer on.
"two teams against each other," he began with an epic tone, "team dnf or team stans, only one walks away with winning today's challenge."
two fans in the voice channel at dream's discord server squealed in excitement. george starts to giggle, sharing the excitement of playing with fans. dream turns off his voice changer.
"two of you," dream punches the two fans in-game with a critical hit, "introduce yourselves."
"you punched me!" one of the fans laughs.
"we'll get revenge later, chill," the other said.
"hi i'm j, i'm a non-binary," a fan with a gender neutral minecraft skin introduced.
"i'm joseph," a fan with a high school student minecraft skin said.
"george and i added a feature into minecraft," dream added. "everyone will be teleported to the opponent team's current coordinates after one minecraft day."
the stream chats in both dream's and george's stream were bursting into anticipation, impatient for the challenge to begin.
"george, whenever you're ready, press this button," dream punches the command block in-game, "and the challenge will begin."
"wait hold on, before we start," george pauses dramatically, "only a small percentage of people who are watching this are actually subscribed with twitch prime-"
dream starts wheezing uncontrollably.
"KETTLE WHEEZE," j bursts out laughing in the voice channel. the stream chats soon followed with typed laughter.
"alright i'm done!" george exclaimed. "ready..."
joseph spams the shift key.
"set..."
j jumps up and down excitedly.
"TWITCH PRIME TO START!" george shouted.
"gosh dammit, george!" Dream roared.
"i'm kidding, GO!" george announced and pressed the button.

"george, i have an idea," dream sprints towards george.
"what is it?"
"we build a house with coloured wool and set a nice trap for j and joseph," dream suggested.
"why did you say that so loud? you do realise they can hear us while watching the stream right?" george asked.
"they aren't watching the stream, i checked," dream added. "anyway, i was thinking we can put this here..."

george and dream were teleported to a cave filled with spiders. george screams as he fights back as much as he could.
"george, RUN!" dream urged, already sprinting off by himself. george follows, and the two struggled to find their way out from the twisting cave.
"this isn't so bad," joseph commented, looking around the weirdly coloured house. "looks stupid though, like some 5-year-old kid's build."
"c'mon, don't be so mean," j said, holding out their axe before stepping on a pressure plate to open the door. they fall through the floor, shouting curses no one could hear as the two were in a different voice channel.
they land through a block long of water before landing on another pressure plate, which soon activated a bunch of TNT, killing both j and joseph.
"what the fuck? that's not fair!" joseph whined.
j simply laughed in response.
"that's it, i'm leaving," Joseph declared.

"wait, why did he leave?" george asked. "dream! pause, pause."
"umm hold on guys, technical issues," dream told his viewers.
"wait, joseph's on discord," george informed dream. "we might have to deal with this off camera..."
"alright, guess we're ending here," dream agreed, reading joseph's message in the discord server. "thanks for joining us, j!"
"oh! no problem, should be thanking you!" j exclaimed.
"we'll probably invite you back for another stream since it's not fair for you to lose a teammate out of nowhere and leave with a bad gaming experience," dream added.
"oh really? that would be an honour!" j exclaimed.
"yeap, thank you guys for watching, we're ending now," dream declared and ended the stream.

"he said 'i hate your videos, i hate the stupid prank you both did.' wow," george groans.
"well, he's the one who is being stupid. he wasted his time on something he hates," dream laughs. george laughs along.
"there's more, he sent it in my private message. 'i hate colourblind people, they don't know how to appreciate or build a good build.'" dream paused, skimming through the rest of the long paragraph. "i'm gonna delete this message and block him."
george went silent.
"george?"
"you know, he's... kinda right," george started.
"no, all of those are not true," dream said firmly.
"i suck at bedwars because i couldn't differentiate colours. i don't know what is purple. i can't see red. actually, i don't even know the difference between red and brown!" george nearly shouted, as he was almost in tears.
"george."
"i'm useless in most games..."
"george."
the british man sniffs.
"listen to me."
george nods, oblivious that he was in a voice call instead of in a video call. dream pauses for a moment.
"all of us in the smp: callahan, sapnap, sam, ponk, bbh, tommy, tubbo, fundy, punz, purpled, wilbur, schlatt, skeppy, eret, jack, niki, quackity, karl, and everyone else, we love you for who you are. this doesn't make you any less of worth. it is 100% okay that you have a disability, because disabilities are special abilities. you are worth a lot more than you think you are. people hate because they couldn't fix their lives as no one was there to help. you have so much of friends to help you, we care enough to help you."
"you mean all that?" george asked.
"yes, definitely. we love you, george, so many people out there in the world loves you," dream replied without hesitation.
"th-thank you," george replied, his voice breaking as he cried, but this time...
out of joy.
