"Hey Clay!" I say cheerfully as I walk into the mailroom.

"Hi, how are you?" he asks as he shuts the box.

"Pretty good. We made this beautiful cake for a wedding today. How are you?" I open my box.

"Pretty good. I got a lot of things done today." I see him shrug from the corner of my eye.

"Working on a big project?" I close my box.

"Something of the sort." He nods his head as he opens the door for me.

"Thank you," I say, "Do you have any plans for the weekend?" I ask even though it's only Thursday.

"I have a big event for work." He steps inside the elevator.

"Oh that's cool. What is it?" I say.

"Uh," we step out of the elevator, "just a big meeting type thing. Not too exciting, but it's important."

I nod my head. "Well, I hope you have a good time either way."

I walk to my PC whenever I get home. I don't think anyone has plans to stream tonight, so I just scroll through twitter until I notice Dream trying to call me. What does he want?

"Hello?" I say as I join his vc.

"Hi," he says. I get a strange sense of deja vu as he says it, although I haven't talked to Dream today. "I was wondering if you wanted to practice.. for , uh, MCC." he continues.

"Oh," Dream and I are on the same team as MCC. I'm not super hype for that, but at least he's good. Maybe we could have a chance at winning.

"It's okay if you're busy. I just wanted to check with you. Nobody else could practice, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask." He sounds a little sad. I don't want him to have to practice by himself.

I glance around. I was literally scrolling through twitter before this. I can't lie.

"No, I can join. Lemme log on." I say as I click to start minecraft up.

"Okay cool," he sounds like he perked up a little bit.

"What do you want to do?" I ask as I log onto the MCC server.

"We can work on whatever you want to." I see him jumping around in game.

"Well I need to work on parkour and I want to practice pvp," I shift in front of him.

"Let's start with ace race then." He says.

We practiced some parkour for a little. We don't talk that much. We play some music, so it's not so awkward.

"Ugh," He whispers under his breath. He's said that a couple times whenever he misses a jump.

I laugh a little as I pass his falling body. "Imagine,"

"No, come on, we're playing battle box. Let's see those pvp skills Storm. Let's see them."

"No," is all I say. We play for like five more minutes.

"Oh come on now, Storm. We've been playing ace race for like ever. Let's play battle box." He practically begs me.

"Fine." I say as we go to log into it.

We play a couple rounds, and I don't win a single one.

We start a new round. He fumbles in the first ten seconds and lets me get a crit on him. I ended up winning.

"LET'S GOOO" I yell. "TAKE THAT YOU BIG PIECE OF GREEN BOOGER"

He wheezes a little. "What?  What did you just call me."
