We were all out in a picnic, it was truly beautiful. We had found this forest that had a clearing and a pond in the middle of it and I felt like I was in a fairytale. We were glad that it finally had stopped raining so we could actually do our picnic

"Willow! We should do a photoshoot!" Niki suggests, pulling on my sleeve over to the patch of flowers

"Oh my gosh, amazing idea Niki" I say, grabbing my phone and going over to the pond

"Ranboo! Can you take the pictures for us?" Niki asks

"Sure!" He says as he walks over and takes my phone

Me and Niki pose together and I try to do the best smile that I can without looking awkward. We stand for a good 5 seconds, waiting for Ranboo to say that he got the pictures. He seemed to just be staring at the screen

"Ranboo? Did you take the pictures?" I ask

"Oh- uh yeah no one sec do it again" He stutters out

Me and Niki giggle a bit and then go back to our poses. We take a couple pictures, some together and some by ourself. I decided that I'll block out my face and maybe post some of them.

"Thanks Ranboo!" I thank him as we go to sit back down

"Yeah, no problem"

"Alright guys, we have sandwiches, salads, and we have some chicken tenders. We have capri suns, some chips, and a few other stuff. Dig in!" Clay says as we all sit down

I was sitting on a blanket with Niki and Ranboo. We were quite the group, for some reason known as "Softy Sunshines" by our fanbases.

I grab some chips, along with some chicken tenders and start eating. Tommy runs away from a bee, screaming, while Tubbo admires it and we all laugh at his childish behavior.

"Yo, we should all take a picture!" I suggest to Niki and Ranboo

"Yeah totally!" He says and all 3 of us line up to take the selfie

I take it and admire it for a second. My best friends. I just look and smile until returning back to my food.

"SHIT-" I yell as I get a message in our phone

Everyone looks towards me in a confused way

"What happened?" Niki asks

"Clay! We had my big lore arc planned for today with Sam!" I yell

"Damn it I completely forgot it was today" He says back

"Y'all could still do it, we'll be quiet" Wilbur suggests

"Alright, then we'll do it later. Lemme message Sam back"

Hiya! Just making sure we're still good for the lore today?

Yup! We're gonna be streaming from the bnb we're staying at

Alright cool! Cya soon

*Time skip brought to you by Tommy's iconic red shirt*

We make it back home and I go to me and Niki's room, setting everything up for me to stream. I was really excited for this stream, I wrote all of it and was hyped to be able to share it with my stream.

There was one specific part that I was hoping I'd do good on, since it was such a good line. It was definitely one for the animatics, if I deliver it good enough. Hoping to give my fans chills if I can.

I take a few deep breaths to prepare myself. I also turn off the lights to make it feel more dramatic to me

"Alright, gonna go live now" I say to Niki who was eagerly waiting for me to begin

"Yes! You're gonna do awesome, I'll stay quiet" She says excitedly

I press the "Go Live" button and act like everything is normal. I wanted to make the lore come out of nowhere

"Hey chat! I haven't streamed since the meetup and wanted to do one for you guys. Don't have much planned for today" I lie to my viewers, but they'd get over it

"What to you suggest we do? We could try to get some emeralds, or netherite. Maybe mine? Mods, do a pull between emerald grinding, netherite, or mining"

My mods do the pull and mining wins. Not that it'll matter anyways

"Alright! Mining it is!" I say happily

I head toward where I usually go to mine. Talking to chat, reading donos, thanking gifted subs. It all seemed so normal. Aww, my poor chat...

I make my Minecraft character stop for a second

"Y'know what chat?" I say with a grin on my face, knowing that my chat is about to be super confused "I have an idea.."

I start heading towards a large building. My chat recognizes that I'm going towards it and starts freaking out. I stop my music and donos, that's when my chat goes even more feral as they realize it's lore.

Twitch chat:

gamergirly0-0: OH NO IS THIS LORE??

ranboosleftfoot: THIS IS LORE, HOLD HANDS CHAT 🤝🤝

firelitdreamer: HOLD HANDS CHAT 🤝

bakugous_wifey0764: NONONONONO LORE

I stand outside of Pandora's Vault. Otherwise known as the prison. It was truly an incredible build by Sam.

I go inside and press the button next to the nether portal. That's when Sam joins my vc and I prepare myself for the real lore to start

"Hello, Sam" I say, with a grin that you can hear through my voice

"Sky, it's good to see you" He responds as I see him at his podium

"You too, Sam"

"Here to see your brother again, I'm guessing?" He asks

I look over at my chat, which is now freaking out over a new thing. They didn't know I was Dream's sister

"Don't I always?" I say, making my chat go even more insane

Sam laughs a little "You know what to do" He says, referring to saying the terms of agreement out loud and signing them

C!Sky POV

We go through the many, many measures of safety. As we wait for the lava wall to rise, I look over at Sam

"This is the last time I'm going visit him..." I say in a low tone

Sam stays silent for a moment before murmuring "That's exactly what Tommy said last time.."

"What was that?" I ask, acting like I didn't hear him when I know exactly what he said

"Oh- Uhm, nothing..." The lava wall rises

"Sky," He says sternly

"Hmm?" I hum in response

"I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." He states

"I'll be fine, Sam. Thank you" I say with a smile

I walk onto the small ledge that will bring me to see my brother

I see him as I approach his prison cell

"Ah! Sky! Glad you could make it!" He says happily

"Hey, Dream! Wouldn't miss it for the world" I say in a happy tone back

"Were you able to sneak them in?" He asks

I pull out a bunch of items. Including a milk bucket, an enchanted netherite pic axe and sword, and my enchanted netherite armor

"Of course I do" I say with a smirk

"Wow- How were able to get them by??" He asks

"A magician never reveals their secrets!" I yell back

We sit on a chest and relax for a couple seconds in silence

"So" I start "What're you gonna do?"

"What do you mean?" He asks, looking over at me

"When you're out? What're you gonna do?" I clarify

"Welp, I'm gonna back to having power. Being the ruler, THE GOD" He says, as if he's some inspiring king

I laugh a bit "Wow how you've changed.." I murmur

"What do you mean?"

"You used to be so humble, made sure everyone else was alright before you were. You've just...changed.." I think back in our childhood "I guess you were right when you said that people changed like the tides in the ocean.." I chuckle at the reference to a saying he used to say when we were kids

He laughs are the reference as well "Eh, well, things change. Some things don't. Like you" He says

"How so?" I ask

"You've always been by my side. Doing what I say, following me-"

"Like a pet?" I cut him off with a somewhat angry tone

He thinks for a moment "...More like a sidekick"

I clench my fists in anger, but decide to keep my thoughts to myself

"Well then, shall we get this show on the road?" He asks, standing up from the chest

"I suppose so" I say as I grab my milk bucket and drink it, turning off the mining fatigue

I then grab my pickaxe and begin to chip away at the walls of the prison, making a hole in it

I mine until I see the outside world. I prepare myself for what I'm about to do..

"Yes! Finally free, wow I haven't seen the sun in so lo-" Dream says before he cuts himself off

"What..." He murmurs under his breath

I stand beside him. Looking at Quackity with his axe out, staring back at my tall brother.

"Y-you betrayed me..?" He says, in such a small voice "You're just like everyone else..."

It hurts my heart, but I have to do what I must

"I'm not like everyone else. You're just like yourself." I say in a stern voice

"We- we were supposed to be a team!" He says, in a pleading voice

"We were a team. I was with you our entire lives. Until you started a war. I forgave you. Thing after thing, event after event, life after life. I forgave you." I say in a somewhat disappointed and angry tone "And then you pushed it over the edge."

"I thought you liked chaos! You hate government, remember? So we blew up L'manburg!" He yells

"I do! But taking it from somewhat who didn't deserve it? Manipulating MINORS? KILLING A CHILD?? AND FOR WHAT? JUST TO SEE IF YOUR DUMB BOOK WORKED? NO! THAT'S NOT OK!" I yell with a fiery anger

"But...we were a team..you visited me all the time, you gave me encouraging words, you broke me out of prison, we were gonna have the power together" He says in the same sad tone as earlier

"You were just a line." I start "And I" I laugh a bit "I'M THE WHOLE DRAWING!" I yell with a villainous laugh. It somewhat reminded me of the former president, Shlatt..

"But one line can help the whole drawing come together, you've said that yourself. When you taught me how to do those amazing drawings that I could never seem to figure out how to do..." He says, thinking back in memories

"Yes, but sometimes there are stray lines. They ruin the drawing completely. And that's the thing, , they can be easily erased"

"C-clay?" He asks in the small voice once more "You haven't used my real name since we were kids.."

I think back on the memory as he brings it up

Flashback

We were playing spies. I was only 5, Clay being 10.

"Willow! We need code names!" He shouts to me with a stick in his hand

"We should make one for each other!" I suggest, with the same excited energy

We sit, thinking about what the other's nickname should be

"Your's should be Dream! Because you're happy like a dream!" I suggest

"That sounds so cool! I think your's should be Sky, because your like the sun. Bright and beautiful!" He says back

"That's a wonderful nickname" I say with a smile

End flashback

"You- You're not the sun. You're not bright and beautiful." He starts in a confused, sad, angry tone "I- I don't know what you are, but you're not the sun.."

I think for a moment "Then I'm the clouds." I state "I can be beautiful, making fascinating shapes in the sky" I continue

"But then I can turn dark. I can fill the atmosphere with darkness, blocking out the brightness of day. And then I rain and upon you." I say, looking him directly in the eyes. I hear Quackity slightly gasp

"If you create the storm," I say as I push him into Quackity

"You deal with the flood." I say as I turn around and start to walk away, but stop

"Goodbye, Clay." I say, slightly turning my head but not enough to see him

"Goodbye...."

"..Cloud......"
