《second best // dnf》4. Plane Tickets

I could hear my heartbeat in my ears; my hands were clammy; my breathing was shallow.
Dream was calling.
_______________________________
I don't know why I did it. I wasn't thinking straight. The phone rang three times before George answered.
"Hello?" George mumbled quietly.
"Hey George."
"Dream, about last night, I-"
"-George," I interrupted loudly, not wanting him to finish that sentence. "D'you wanna visit me in Florida?"
Silence washed over the call. I said the first thing that popped into my brain because everything would be really awkward if he did finish that sentence.
George stuttered, "I um, I mean it's-"
"Hang on I'm gonna add Sapnap to the call," I interrupted yet again as I added him.
Sapnap picked up almost immediately.
"Hey guys!" he exclaimed.
"Sapnap, i've been thinking," I began to explain, "I want you and George to come and visit me in Florida."
"Oh my God! Are you serious?!" he beamed, "Yeah obviously!"
George was very quiet, he hadn't said anything in a while. I was beginning to worry he didn't actually want to come.
I always assumed George wanted to come and visit me. But I never really thought about the fact that he might actually not want to for whatever reason.
"Uh George?" I asked.
"Yeah?" he replied quietly.
"So um... you wanna come or no? I mean it's completely fine if not like I understand if you don't cos yknow-"
George stopped me mid-sentence, "Dream."
"Hm?"
"Of course i'll visit you."
A huge smile grew on my face and I felt a twinge of excitement in my stomach. I was finally going to meet George in real life and see Sapnap for the first time in a long while.

Immediately, I began googling plane tickets from London to Florida as I knew Sapnap was probably going to drive. The flights from London took over ten hours. Poor George, I thought.
"So Dream," Sapnap inquired, "When do you want us to come?"
Before answering his question, I pulled up my calendar on my computer. I guessed my friends were going to stay for about two weeks so I decided to invite them to come for the first two weeks of summer.
"Well, how does the first of July sound to you guys?" I probed.
"Yep that's fine."
"Yeah I'm free."
Then, I said, "Okay so, it's settled George will fly into Florida on the 1st and I guess Sapnap will drive in on the 30th June and you'll both stay for two weeks, correct?"
My 2 friends agreed. I clapped my hands, "Brilliant!"
We then spoke for a few hours about all the things we were going to do. George wanted a movie night and Sapnap wanted to go to the beach. I was scribbling down all of those things because I wanted these to be the best 2 weeks of their life.
After lots of chatting, I asked them, "Do you wanna tell the fans?"
"I think it's a good idea," George said cheerily.
We all decided that we were going to tell the fans about our meet up so the 3 of us set up our streams and went live.
"Hey everyone! How are you all?" George yelled to his stream, grinning.
My eyes trailed from the chat on Twitch and to George's face cam on his stream. A scarlet red hoodie clung to his figure and his dark hair was sweeping down into his eyes.
"Okay so, guys, it's the moment you've all been waiting for! Drum roll pleassseeeee!" George laughed and I rolled my eyes. "The Dream Team are officially meeting up!"

The Twitch chat was exploding with excitement and asking questions like:
How long are you staying together?
Are you meeting in Florida?
When are you meeting up?
George explained when and where we were meeting up and answered lots of questions. Sapnap made lots of jokes about George being annoying when they were going to be together but I assured everyone that I wouldn't let him kill George.
After a while, George decided to end the stream as he wanted to get some rest. Due to the time differences in the two countries, it was only 5:30pm so I wasn't tired yet. I hopped onto the Smp and started messing around with Karl and Quackity but I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I was finally going to meet GeorgeNotFound in person.

People. Harmony. Dysfunction
[Hiatus]People are extraordinary. They are glorious, chaotic, imaginative, grim, all kinds of smart and driven. They are capable of living in harmony or incredible destruction. They can be both caring and loyal but vicious and self-centred. However, Olivia wished that the first year of her PhD didn't have to showcase quite so much of the melting pot. People. Harmony. Dysfunction. is a story that follows a research group through the drama and challenges life throws at them. It has an (unspecified) modern setting and focuses on the characters. I've tried to rate this pre-emptively, but unfortunately it might change as the story evolves.

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide
