Waking up with a small headache, George looked around and saw he was still in his spaceship although he felt colder than before he was asleep. Looking at his left he saw Groot, still peacefully sleeping on the chair which George found not that comfy to sleep on. He didn't know how Groot was able to sleep on the chair so fast, but the trunk somehow did which surprised George in a bit.

The brunet then suddenly remembered the dream he had when he fell asleep a few hours ago. He didn't remember that much but he did remember his dream's small details. Thinking very hard, he remembered when he was running around the dark, scary forest being chased by a hungry, six-foot beast, with white shark fangs.

He didn't remember the next few minutes later, but he did remember seeing a cave that had a small hole and him having doubts ongoing in the cave not knowing what was in there. But when he came in he saw but he didn't believe he actually saw right when he landed his eyes on the figure.

Because when he landed eyes on the figure, he saw Clay looking at him with a warm and soft smile. A smile that instantly cured his heart in a mil of seconds and calmed his nerves down and him shaking because of the beast almost killing him. Clay was just looked like four years ago, nothing almost changed. His comforting hug, the warmth of his body being shared to George's. The brunet liked the feeling of him being attached to Clay.

George sighed sadly as he failed to remember more. He forgets things so easily, especially his dreams that are turning into a blur the minute he wakes up which he hated. But even though that George did like his dream, he knew that the dream wasn't real but he still wished that it was though and none of this happened.

George slightly laughed about a memory that just popped in his head about Clay and him. He then suddenly wondered on why Clay named himself Dream when his mind was corrupted by dark magic itself. George got confused when he first heard the name Dream. What kind of villain would name themselves Dream when they are literally pure evil. He could have picked a better name like Nightmare but no he had to pick Dream.

The brunet didn't understand, he thought that it was some message that Clay was giving him but still. George still thought he was overthinking and had to let it pass but yet he was anxious and curious on why.

Once again, he let that slide lets out an unexpected shaky breath out of his mouth which caught him off guard. He breathed again and saw that the air he breathed out can be seen, smoke breathed out. George gulped, he didn't know what was going on, he looked outside and noticed that everything was fine. It was just normal and quiet.

He felt himself get colder on the outside his hands slowly starting to shake more and more as a second passes. He looked around his spaceship, noticing that some parts were now turning into ice. His eyes widened in shock and confusion at the same time. He quickly looked at the monitor of the spaceship and saw that they were nearing a planet and a star that is very close by. He looked outside the window once more and saw the star. But it wasn't an ordinary star.

The star didn't look hot, it looked cold. George noticed the closer he gets to the spaceship, he gets colder and everything around him turns into snow and ice. The star didn't show a sign of fire, but ice and snow. Astroids that cross by, were all covered with ice in a mill of seconds the second they get a few miles close to the star.

George had never seen a star like that. But there was no time for him to admire the star. He knew stars are dangerous, whether it's hot or cold, they can kill you right when you get close to them. And by close, he meant miles away. He looked around and saw the planet that he saw before, covered with ice almost like the south pole. "Guess that's where we'll go then" George sighed as he turned the spaceship towards the cold planet trying to get away from the star.

George looked at Groot and sighed, "I just hope he doesn't wake up until we get there" George mumbled to himself, as he grabbed the wheel with two handles as he pushed it slowly making the spaceship speed up its pace. He felt the spaceship shake when he sped up because of the ice forming at the engines.

The brunet heard some cackles of the objects moving from the back and things making loud noises which will for sure wake-up Groot. Groot slowly opened his as he noticed he was shaking, he smiled and placed his hands up in the air looking at the outside making a monotone scream of happiness. "What the- Groot?! This isn't a moment you can enjoy you know!!" George yelled rolling his eyes as saw the light beginning to flick.

"Shit" George hissed under his breath, longing the letter 'i' as he said it. Just a few miles away from the planet George saw that the engines were running out faster than expected. Until now, Groot was still shouting out of happiness as George listened in disbelief. He scoffed wishing that the child wasn't this dense especially at this time.

A minute passes and now the spaceship is now a couple of yards away from the ground, they were now at the height where airplanes fly back to earth. After seconds everything went quiet, nothing could be heard. Even Groot's monotone scream stopped.

That was when George realized... The engines were out "Oh fuuu-" George said but was cut of by him screaming on the top of his lungs when the spaceship dropped.

Groot was now back to his monotone screaming while George was screaming like a high school girl being scared because of her going to a haunted house. George didnt care about him losing his voice because of him getting scared. He was scared the hell out of his mind. He didn't know what to do but scream in a high-pitched tone.

He looked at Groot who was also screaming, "aaaaa" Groot screamed but didn't seem like a scream for George. It almost seemed like it was a sarcastic scream

George looked outside and saw them about to fall to their deaths. George saw the snow fall in from the outside, almost like there was a storm. Not long after George heard a loud sound then everything was a blur.

Im sorry its short, I'll try to make it longer tom :)
