Tommy awoke to Tubbo wrapped around him yet again. Ranboo was already awake, and had been sitting against the wall. Tommy carefully pulled Tubbo off of him, carefully avoiding the things on the wall. Tommy rose to his feet and stepped over Ranboo before walking past the still sleeping others to the bathroom.

Ranboo watched Tommy go. Choosing to get up himself, he stood and took a small slow walk around the inside of the building. He walked past old machines that were covered in a thin blanket of dust, neglected for just a short while. He stopped at a few machines and pushed some buttons, not really expecting much to happen.

Ranboo noticed after testing a few games that none of them were actually plugged into a power source. He found a game that interested him, and pulled it out from the wall quietly to inspect the cords.

Ranboo heard Tommy come out of the bathroom, he walked over to the game and stood for a moment.

"Ranboo? The hell are you doin'?" He asked in a half awake voice.

"I want to see if these old machines actually work." Ranboo said casually as he finally found the right cord and plugged it into the wall.

The game sung as it turned on for the first time in years, the two assumed that they had to be unplugged to avoid fire risk. Ranboo pushed the game back against the wall and stood beside Tommy with his arms crossed proudly across his chest.

Tommy stared in amazement for a second before remembering that Ranboo was next to him. He wanted to try the game badly, but didn't want to admit it to Ranboo. He stood impatiently while Ranboo played the game, and when he went for another round, completely ignoring Tommy, Tommy chose to find a different game.

He walked around the room, eventually finding his way back to Tubbo who he woke up and had join the hunt for a game to play. The three walked around and played gamed until they eventually had almost every one plugged in. Tubbo noticed the last game that any of them had yet to play, he called the others over and they stood infront of the large old claw machine labeled "Dream."

With a bit of a struggle, Ranboo and Tommy managed to pull the machine out from the wall, and plugged it in. Unlike the other games however, the much to old claw machine for the much to old arcade did not power on. Tubbo stood in disappointment, he had always loved claw machines and this one had caught his attention.

"Ah, the old claw machine huh? She just needs a little love tap."

The three jumped, having not been paying attention and not hearing Dream come up behind them. They watched as Dream approached the machine he had apparently been nicknamed after and lightly tapped a small button on the top of the machine, one that none of them had seen before.

The machine lit up with soft music and bright green lights. The three stood in utter shock as Dream turned, gave them a kind look, and walked away. He stopped for only a second beside Tubbo.

"Take care of her. Win for me, ok?" He whispered only for Tubbo's ears, and walked to another game with a small, soft smile spread across his lips.
