The next morning the girl woke up and laid in bed for a bit. She was scrolling on Twitter, replying to some peoples tweets when a notification popped up on her screen.

Dream: Hey Aiyla, you're up right?

Yeah of course I am. Why?

Dream: I might not be able to stream today. Patches has an appointment at the vet, I told George and Sapnap already and they told Tommy. Can you let Tubbo know? I don't have his number.

Oh! That's perfectly fine. I hope she's

okay, please Let me know how the

Appointment goes. And I don't have

his number either. I'm not really close with him, we've Never talked with each other.

Dream: Shit.

Dream: Okay uh can you ask Tommy for it? I have to leave in like five minutes and don't have time.

Yeah, of course. Good luck with Patches.

Dream: thank you so much, you're a lifesaver.

:)

The girl sighed, she loved Dream, she wondered why someone else couldn't talk to him. She was worried, because she didn't know him. They had never met before. The two had been in multiple calls together, but never really talked to each other. The girl sat up, and texted her friend Tommy.

Hey Tommy, can I have Toby's number? Dream wants me to talk to him.

Bitch boy: Yeah of course. ***-***-****

Thank you.

She copied the number the boy had sent to her, and created a new contact. 'Tubbo' it read. The girl was nervous, as to how she would first text him. She debated for a moment, before finding a good message to send.

Hey Toby, Its Aiyla. If you remember who I am, it's fine if not. Dream wanted me to tell you he can't stream today. His cat has a vet appointment.

Tubbo: Yes I remember you! Of course I remember!. Tank you for telling me. Tht damn cat always dragging Dream away from us. 🤣 I love cats, but thta one specific cat gets on my nerves.

Haha I know exactly how you feel lol

She was worried she was being to dry through her texting. But the girl didn't know how to respond right enough. She put her phone down, and walked over to her computer. 

"No stream today, I'll just hop onto one of my own survival worlds and work on that for now." She said as she logged on.

One house and a restaurant build later and she got a call on discord. She had switched tabs, to see who was calling. The name read off 'sapnap'.

"Isn't he supposed to be with dream and patches?" She questioned, before Joining the call.

"Hey sappy what's up?" The girl asked, logging out of her Minecraft world and opening another.

"Hey, I just wanted to see how you were doing, I wasn't on the stream yesterday and I missed you" he's like a brother to the young girl, they all were. He had been there for her, more than anyone ever has been. Even if she'd never actually met him, he's helped her through so much.

"I missed you too Nick. Thank you for checking in" She said with a slight smile. "What about you? How are you" She asked.

The man on the other line thought to himself for a short moment. Leaving the two in a moment of silence, until he spoke;

"I'm good. Uhm- I got a bunch of scratches from patches yesterday though so that hurts." They both stayed silent once again before bursting into laughter. 'He's such a wuss.'

"It can't hurt that badly" She said. Starting to calm down from laughing.

"HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SCRATCHED A HUNDRED TIMES BY A CAT?" The man yelled, as he looked down at his arms, covered in fresh and old cat scratches covered in bandaids.

"Hmmm. Yes I think so, I don't recall it ever hurting"

"If it didn't hurt you are psycho" He laughed again. The girl had been lying, she had been scratched before. And it had hurt, she wanted to be the tough one, as that's the persona she had given herself for everyone. 'The tough one'
