Chapter Text
Dream sat by the lava pool looking at all of the letters scattered around him. All the letters he sent to George. Did George just fake all those feelings? The worry he felt for Dream? Is this his punishment for listening to the dreamon? For letting it take control of his body?
He wouldn’t be surprised if it would be. Quackity’s torture MUST have been a red herring that Dream had obviously ignored. He felt his stomach began to twist and turn and it felt like his back was splitting open. Dream keeled over the lava pool in pain as he heaved up something. Was this his punishment? Dream thought once everything was over. Then everything went black.
Little did Dream know in a certain mushroom kingdom in front of a certain tired blue eyed man a faux god shrieked and writhed as he began to burn. He began to burn even without touching fire and lava and something snapped in the blue eyed man. And he ran, far, far away.

Dream began to wake up, his back hurt, his head hurt, everything hurt. He could hear humming and the sound of soft tapping. Slowly opening his sticky feeling eyes Dream saw Punz sitting in a chair on his communicator. “Punz…?” Dream grumbled out, Punz immediately snapping his attention to Dream. Grinning Punz spoke “Oh Dream your awake! How are you feeling?”. “Like shit” Dream spat out causing Punz to chuckle. “Well I did find you passed out by a lava pool. By the way what were those notes about?” Punz said, his eyebrow quirking up in curiosity.
Shooting up Dream let out a cry of pain. “Woah! Be careful Dream!” Punz said, frowning as he helped Dream sit up. “What happened? What day is it?… Wheres George? And Tommy?” Dream chattered frantically. “Dream what was the last thing you remember?” Punz asked slowly. “Uhm getting possessed by a dreamon”, Dream said looking down at his wrapped up hands. “I think we need to talk Dream” Punz said firmly.

Dream gripped onto his hair tighter as tears slipped down his face. He had really done all of that? Had he really hurt all those people? Dream let out a sob as Punz wrapped him in a hug. Dream just let everything out as Punz shushed him, calming him down. Suddenly there was a knock at Punz’s door.
Jumping Punz quickly calmed him down and walked over to the door. They had confirmed that the only thing Dream remembered while possessed was Quackity’s torture and finding all of the letters he sent George. That was all he could remember. All he could remember was that. Dream looked up from where he had hid his face in his knees to see a Punz talking to someone in a frog hat. “YOOO HEY MAN! HOW ARE YOU?” the frog man yelled out waving to Dream causing Dream to flinch. Giving an exasperated sigh Punz grabbed the mans wrist and whispered something in his ear.
Looking surprised for a second the frog hatted man face hardened and he simply nodded. Both Punz and the man walked over to Dream, Punz then introduced the man “This is Boomer he’s a friend of mine”. Coughing the man muttered “boyfriend” causing Punz to groan in slight annoyance and Dream to chuckle. “Oh yah did you guys know theres this green demi-goddess running around. She keeps screaming about wanting to see her brother or something”.
