I bury my head in my hands. Deep breath in, deep breath out. "How do I know you're actually the real Dream?" I type back.

As I'm waiting, a Twitter notification pops up on my phone. Dream posted "Hey, here is your proof." My mouth drops open.

"I just sent a tweet," comes the reply a second later.

My hands are literally shaking as I type, "Omg I don't know what to say, I'm a huge fan," and then cringe at how lame my response is.

"No, I am your fan," I blush and am thankful that he can't see me. "Here, call me on Discord." There is a link.

This is when I cannot take it anymore. "Gracie!" I scream. She rushes into the room.

"At your service, I was totally not standing outside waiting for you," she says. "What is it?"

"The guy who commented on my story this morning was Dream!" I practically scream it. "Now he wants to talk to me on discord!"

Gracie squeals. "That's great!"

"But I don't know what to say. It's going to be so awkward."

"It's alright, I'll be right here," she says.

I raise an eyebrow and she laughs. "You've got to at least try." I nod and click the link. (A/N Ok, so I have never used discord, if I get anything wrong please tell me) I friend Dream on discord and a moment later there is an incoming call. I look at Gracie one more time and she gives an encouraging nod. I take a deep breath and click accept.

"Hey!" the voice sounds exactly like Dream. I literally would know it anywhere.

"Hello," I say. "Wow, um, hi Dream! I don't know, I was half expecting a scam."

He laughs. "I would never do that! Only Skeppy would." This time I let out a nervous chuckle. I had seen some of Skeppy's 'A kid pretends to be me' videos. "Is it ok if I ask your name?"

My heart rate is way too high, this is Dream I am talking to after all. "Y/N," I mumble. Gracie giggles next to me, remembering the first time we met where I had said my name so quietly she heard it wrong.

"Y/N? Nice to meet you! I'm Clay."

"Yeah I know," and then cringe.

"Yeah I guess almost everyone does. Can't even do a proper introduction anymore. Is there someone with you?"

I have no idea what to say. "Hey! I'm Gracie, Y/N's best friend. She was so excited to talk to you so I'm her emotional support person!" I give her a grateful look.

"Emotional support for excitement?" Dream wheezes. "Never heard of it, but I wish I had one!"

"We are very happy people you know," Gracie says.

"I can tell! Oh and um, please don't tell anyone about my Wattpad account. I just want to read in peace."

"Of course, we totally understand," I say. "I love that username though."

"Thanks! Is it called irony? I'm not sure but I thought it would be funny. Y/N, I love your story!"

"Thanks, and thanks for mentioning me in your stream. I love the new vid you posted today by the way. (Minecraft, But Item Drops are Multiplied Every Time... AGAIN)" I say. When you don't have anything to say, compliment the other person. Works every time.

"Thanks! Oh hey sorry I have to go, my sister needs my help. I hope we can talk again soon!" Dream says.

"Alright, this was amazing," I say.

"Bye Dream!" Gracie says and the call ends.

I fall onto my bed. "Oh my god."
