my poor excuse of an update :/ 
sorry in advance, i didnt proofread

George woke up to a beak in his face and beady eyes staring him down. And for the second night in a row, he woke up screaming, thinking he was about to get murdered.

"Calm down, George," Dream scolded from his bed. "I didn't even do anything this time."

"Haha, very funny."

"Alright, so what's the plan?" he asked, getting up. At George's confused expression, he continued on. "What will we do? You said you didn't want to beat the dragon right away."

"I mean, we could if you want."

"Hmm, yeah, let's win and get back to doing manhunt? I haven't really had my turn."

"That's your fault. You let me go."

"Fair. Anyways lets go find lava."

And so, the search for one of the most painful deaths ensued, accompanied by their bickering. For instance, George had to stop every few minutes to eat and Dream kept doing stupid stunts, most almost resulting in his death. Even the chicken, which is now its official name, almost died to a stray cat.

"Dream! Stop, you're gonna fall!" George shouted at a giggling Dream, who was jumping repeatedly over a ravine.

"What, like this? Oops." He purposefully misstepped and jumped down onto a ledge a few feet below the surface.

"Dream, let's go already."

"Aw, can't I have my fun?" he pouted, climbing back up.

"Let's just find some lava, okay."

"Fiiiine."

George rolled his eyes and tucked the food back into his pack.

"Ooh! I see light!" Dream said, pointing through the trees. He strode into the forest, while George had to walk-run to keep up.

"Damn your long legs," he muttered under his breath.

"Too bad, shortie," Dream replied, apparently hearing him.

"Easy for you to say." Fire crackled up ahead, and slowly the surrounding trees, normally light brown, turned to a charcoal black. The lava pool sat in the centre of a now burnt field. Dream pushed a bucket of water into George's hands. "What?"

"You make the portal. I always do it."

"And for good reason."

"Then I'll show you." George sighed and followed Dream to the lava. He set up some stones for the water to flow from and inched towards the heat. He was also hyper-aware of Dream standing behind him, trying to help. And failing.

"I could've done it faster, you know."

"Not helping, Dream," he huffed, accidentally dropping the bucket into the lava. He sighed and pulled out another and continued. He set down the lava, watching it turn into its hardened cousin. Now repeat. And again.

He put down the bucket as the last piece of obsidian formed. He grabbed a spare flint and steel and lit the portal. The purple swirls whooshed excitedly, as though welcoming them to be trapped in the dimension.

Dream walked towards the entrance, and bowed in George's general direction. "Ladies first."

"I- what?" he crinkled his nose in confusion, before stepping into the portal.

Dream chuckled and followed George in.

Aside from the screech of the portal, the first thing he heard was George screaming. Purple faded from his vision as he stepped forward onto nothing.

So that's why George was screaming, he thought relatively calmly, considering he was falling to his death.
Lava bubbled up and hit him, milliseconds before he was fully submerged, burning him to a crisp.

The heat of the Nether was replaced by the familiar humidity of the jungle.

Well, that didn't last long at all. He looked up and saw George lying on the forest floor, frowning at the sky.

"That didn't take very long," he said, mirroring Dream's own thoughts. "Are we trying again or..." The tired look in his eyes made it obvious what he wanted to do.

"Nah, I haven't had my turn at being the hunter yet."

"You just want to kill me, don't you?"

"Perhaps."

George sat up and pulled out his communicator, full to the brim with death messages and achievements. "I'll wait for you to make the world?"

"Mhm," Dream nodded. George tapped the screen and summoned another portal, one that takes the user to the World Hub. Dream did the same, instead creating a new world and discarding the old one.
