Chapter 62:

3rd person POV:

(A few weeks before the festival)

"Hello, Dream." Wilbur said in a kind tone, despite the bitter grudges that he had for him. He gave Dream no time to say anything, heading straight to the point. "Look, Dream. I- I was having a... I was having a little think. And I'm sure- Have you heard that Schlatt is having a festival? He's putting on a festival!" He said in a hysterical tone "I've have been out all day, so I did not hear that. I just got back." Dream said in a bored tone.

"Oh, well he's putting on a big festival to celebrate democracy! And it got me thinking..."

I heard Dream snicker as we walked down the path." Well, you laugh, but he's kinda... he's kinda right, um... It got me thinking, Dream! I had a little think! I had a little plan, you know? Sort of mulled it over in my head and um... Ah, would- How much would you say that me and Tommy are kind of the bad guys here? We... We... I mean, we-" " I- I don't think you guys are the bad guys...? Well, aside from what went down with Y/n..." Dream said  "We- We fought against people, we killed people to get the leadership of this country, we didn't really do much in our leadership, and then when we were voted out, we're now trying to fight our way back in! It doesn't- It feels like we might- I don't know... What you- What'd you think...?""I think that... I think that- sometimes a ruler is unfit and that calls for... problems." Dream said.

"Right. No, I get you. I understand. You- Dream, you have vested interests though. I think- I think you're- The- I think you would enjoy there to be a conflict between uh... Manburg and Pogtopia." He seemed very hesitant about this but didn't show it. Not that he could in any matter with that god forbidden mask. "You know! And I'm- And I'm here facilitate that! I'm here to facilitate that-" Wilbur suddenly spotted Tommy up ahead, leaning on a tree. He was waiting for by order of Wil."I don't- I- I think that... JSchlatt is a little more ambitious than you I would say.""Dream, let me be your vassal. Dream! I understand you have a lot of TNT! A lot of old trinitrotoluene in your possession, don't you?" Wilbur said in a psychotic voice that made the old Wilbur seem long gone. "I- I do. I have- I have quite a bit..." 

"You do! Dream! I want to be your vassal. I want to- I want to set this up! I want to rig the city!" Dream was getting exited... "Where do you- Where do you want to meet me?" "Do you know where Pogtopia is?" Wilbur asked. Tommy's head shot up, eyes wide. "Wait, what?!" He yelled, alarmed at this question. He still considered Dream to be an enemy. They both ignored him. "Yes.""Dream, don't give it to him! This is not right! This isn't right!" Tommy cried. "You can't-""Tommy! Tommy. It's too... I have to." Dream spat back at him."No, Dream..." Tommy had never felt so powerless in his entire life. The thought of his friends like Niki dying in that explosion pained him more than anything. 

"Look. Dream, I appreciate- I appreciate it. Because the thing is, Tommy. Tommy, what you're not understanding is, Dream only gave you that gear, so that you could cause this conflict. You see?! That's what this is all about! Dream- Dream doesn't want us to win. Dream just wants both Pogtopia and Manburg to be weak! That's it! And that's- And Dream- Dream, I'm not- I'm not scolding you on this. That's smart! You're a smart guy, I've seen your 2000 IQ plays, right? I- You can't- Nothing can get past you, right? So, I'm... I'm here to help you! I'm here to weaken both of us. So much! Manburg and Pogtopia will be nothing more."They were both flabbergasted by what Wilbur said. Wilbur was talking more and more like a crazy person than a war leader. "I... You're saying Manburg..." "Yeah, well that's what it's called...?" Wilbur said.

"And I think that- I do want Pogtopia and Manburg to be nothing more and I want L'Manburg to be something." Tommy just got pissed at that. "Why do you want L'Manburg, Dream? You're the reason we had to make L'Manburg in the first fucking place!""Schlatt is ambitious and that's a bad thing. He's- He wants power, he wants land, he wants to expand... You guys, having your own little world where you just- You frolicked around in the flowers, that's fine by me. I don't care. But Schlatt.... Schlatt fucked up big time when he let Techno do that-""Well, it wasn't fine by you when we had our war, Dream. So, this is an awkward change of tone." Tommy interrupted "Well, I had a change of heart. I had a change of heart"Wilbur began to laugh like a maniac... "Dream! This has made me ambitious! Dream! If I'm taking power again, I will be ambitious, Dream! That's what I'm saying! Let me blow it up! Let me destroy it all!" "Wilbur. Wilbur, no! This isn't right, this isn't what I meant when I-"  Wilbur sneered at Tommy. "Tommy! You were never in charge! Tommy, you were never in charge of the situation." " Wilbur, this isn't right." "Tommy, I- You- It's fine." Wilbur wouldn't come to accept that he was wrong. So he waved it off.

Dream held the tnt in his hand, looking down at it for a moment before handing it over to Wilbur. "Thank you. Thank you." "Wilbur. Wilbur-"  "I'll do you proud Y/n! I'll do you proud" "Wilbur! Look at me!" Tommy yelled, attempting to grab the back of Wilburs trench coat to stop him, but the fabric slips through his fingers. "Yes?" Before Wilbur could react, Tommy pulled out a loaded crossbow. "Hand me that TNT" He said in a stern voice. Suddenly, Dream stood in between the two."Tommy, I'll have to step in." 

"YEAAAAH DADDY DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"oh- wait- No- Scratch that one- Leader Dream! The big brother Dream!" Wilbur became really flustered, not knowing what made him seem like that. Both of the boys were looking at Wilbur like he was an absolute moron. There was a glint of hope in Tommy's eyes. Maybe there was a chance that the old Wilbur could come back. "This isn't right. This just isn't right. I'm not gonna betray you, Wilbur, but I'm gonna stand by your side, but this isn't the right way to go about this." Tommy lowers his bow and Dream steps aside, walking a few feet away from the cave. Tommy's eyes follow his every move. 

"You know this as well, Dream. We can- We can build back L'Manburg. It can be what it once was! But blowing it up just isn't gonna solve anything. It's only gonna waste more time and we don't have enough time." Wilbur began to laugh "I like your buzzwords. The buzzwords are good but they're not- they don't apply here... None- None of what you're saying really matters. Look, I-  Dream, thank you very much! I very much appreciate it, I will do her proud, I will rig it up, I will completely set the place up to detonate and... Oh, you know what?" " If you need any help, just let me know." Dream said, completly disregarding Tommy's countless warnings. "Thank you. Thank you. But let me tell you though. Don't- At this festival uh... this- which you are invited to, I believe, it's happening in like a week. Uh... Just- When Tubbo starts doing his speech? You may wanna leave 'cause that's when I'm gonna detonate the whole place."  "Make sure you're not around for that one. Just- Yeah... That's all I need to say. Thank you! Thank you, Dream. Thank you." "Yeah." Dream said, looking at the ravine, knowing Y/n was there before leaving."And Tommy? I hope that you'll help me out in the long run."
