Pursuit and Consequences

by bookhawkhere

Summary:

Dream, George, and Sapnap are finally on their way to find Bad, but what sort of struggles will they run into in the mean time? Will they be able to find Bad? Or will they fail right as they were about to succeed?

Part two of the Runaway Series. A third installment will be written. (Also posted on Wattpad).

Chapter 1: It Gets Better After This, Hopefully

Notes:

(This is their personas, not the actual people. Not really any ships. Dream, George, Bad, and Skeppy are all around 14-15 old. Sapnap is around the same age as them, but a little younger, so maybe 9-12-ish.)

Many weeks had passed since George and Sapnap arrived. Dream could tell that all three of them were getting restless now.

So, they eventually told everyone that they would be departing to find Bad.

Tubbo and Tommy were visibly disappointed. George, Sapnap, and Dream all attempted to avoid eye contact with them.

Wilbur seemed a bit disappointed, but he covered it up by joking about how much the Dream Team (that’s what he had decreed them) would miss him.

Techno seemed completely unbothered, but Dream could tell that he was dissatisfied with their choice.

Phil just asked what he could do to prepare them for the journey.

So, there they were. On the porch saying goodbye, while Phil rounded up last-minute supplies.

Dream was wearing his signature hoodie, he noticed that Phil had patched up all of the holes, and was hit with sudden grief over leaving the one place that had felt like an actual home.

“Promise you’ll visit us!” Tubbo exclaimed, hugging them.

“Yeah! We’ll find you if you don’t!” Tommy agreed, joining the hug.

“I’ll help them,” Wilbur said, also joining the hug.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll visit,” George laughed.

At this point, Dream was getting squished, and he assumed George and Sapnap felt the same way.

“Come on Techno, you know you wanna join in,” Dream teased.

Techno huffed, and reluctantly joined the group hug.

Dream let himself relax into the hug, before eventually pulling back.

Phil came out with three backpacks, and Dream looked on in shock as he gave each of them one.

“You really don’t ne-“ he started, painfully aware of how hard it can be to get resources, even when living right by a village.

“It’s okay. Be safe out there,” Phil said, stepping back.

Choruses of goodbye rang out.

“You two ready?” Dream asked.

“Of course,” Sapnap replied.

“We always are,” George added.

Then it was just the three of them.
