╰┈➤ June, the new Guardian of Positivity
[Dream pov]
Holy crap... That was a terrible prophecy... ... Did Mother really...
Ah... I see. I am worthless for her now. That's why she made a new guardian. So what? I need to quit? Just like that... ...?
After all of my hard work of training, I....
"Dream! Breakfast is ready!" Swap knocked on my door.
I sighed; "J-Just I'm the minute, Swap! I'll be right there." I reply to him. Whatever it is. Mother said the new guardian will be here too. Ink will bring them here... ...
Ah.. Why am I crying? I should be happy that someone will be worth enough to help Ink, to help the multiverse... Stop crying silly me! Swap will be worried. I laughed at myself. I get downstairs to the kitchen. Swap cooked Pancakes, yummy!
"Here's your favorite Dream! Banana pudding." Swap handed me the dessert.
Wait-"But didn't you said eating sweet at early in the morning will cause me toothache?" I asked him.
"Yeah, but Ink insisting me to cook something sweet for you... I don't know why but he said I have to do it or else you'll faint due shock." Swap explain.
"Oh... I see. Well, thank you, Swap! You're the best chef ever!" I compliment him as I took a bite of my pudding.
Swap smiled and patted my head."No problem pal. Just don't forget to brush your teeth again after this."
"Yes, Mom. I will!!" I chuckled. We both are our breakfast in peace. Seems like Ink is still busy...
An hour later, Ink came through the portal with..."Dream, Swap! I am here to introduce you to... Uh, what's your name again?".he asked the one who behind him.
"Hi, my name is June! I'm the new Guardian of Positivity."she smiled. She have a gorgeous brunette hair and a bright blue eyes. Her skin is very fair too...
"N-New what now?" Swap stuttered.
"Guardian of Positivity! I was chosen by the tree of feelings to save this world!" she giggled like a child were given a candy. How naive... Oh. What am I saying?! Stop stupid thoughts! Be happy for her!
"But Dream is the Guardian of Positivity!" Swap tried to reason her.
"Eh? But..."
"It's alright Swap!" I reassured him. I took June's hand and give her a handshake. "Hello June! I'm Dream, Guardia... ... Your teacher that will teach you everything." I am not a Guardian anymore I have to remember that.
"oh, hello Dream! Please take care of me!" she beamed with a smile.
"Seems like you guys get along very well. Heh, come on, June. I'll show you your room!" Ink is about to lead her but Swap stop him.
"Nope, we don't even have an extra room! Why's there a sudden change of Guardian?!" he scold at Ink.
"Man, I don't know?" Ink frowned then thinking for a minute. He then snap his fingers. "Dream, you'll be sleeping on the couch, K? After all, you are no longer the Guardian!" Ink stated as I try my best not to show my weak feelings.
I smiled at both of them; "Of course! I'll be happy to let her have my room. Just let me take out my stuff and she can it!" I smiled.
"Nice! I knew I can count on you-"
"Wait-wait. Isn't that a bit too much? I appreciate all of this but taking over his room is a bit too much..." she frowned... Awe. She have the heart of empathy. No wonder Mother chose her. She really will be a great Guardian... ...
"It's alright, I just want to make you feels comfortable!" I reply with a smile. "Now, now. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself!" I said in happy tone.
"How about we share room?" June suggested.
"Share?" I repeated. Sharing room is a bit....
"Okay we can work with that! I'll go make a bed for you." Ink agreed without asking if I like it or not. Even if I say something, he won't consider it anyway...
"Oh! I'll come with you. I want my bed to be pretty!" she exclaimed and they both went to upstairs.
"Are you really alright Dream?" Swap had his worry on me.
"I am alright... Thank you for the breakfast, I need to... ... Get out from this suffocating situation. Sorry." I ran out from the door and make a portal. Swap is trying to catch me but I close the portal as soon I entered it.
I arrived at Outertale. The most overrated au but it's still love by most tourist anyway... ...I need to calm down and be rational about this. I should be glad that she chose someone useful. I really should!
What will Lanny even say about this? She must feel happy if she know that Nim chose June... ...
This is terrible. I can't calm down. I will never be able to have friends anymore. People only like me because of my aura and I don't have it no longer. Only healing magic but people will use me for it...
Oh... I am crying. I wiped tears and hide around a fallen comet rock. Will Swap even treat me the same? Will Ink even be my friend? Probably no since I am no longer in this stupid creators story. All he listens to was the creators. Stupid, stupid... ...
I took a deep breath and exhale slowly. I watched the space for a while. It's really comforting. "The stars don't even have companion. How can they still be so beautiful?" I spoke nonsense. I don't even know what am I saying.
"That's the most stupid quote I ever hear." I jumped as I heard a glitches voice.
"Error? What are you doing here?!" I scold him. I was about to have a heart attack!
"Ink won't stop saying that you were replaced by this June kid. How did that even happen?" he asked in annoyed frown.
"My mother found someone who is more worth than me. That's all..." I explained as I get up from my knees.
"That sucks." he frowned. "So where are you going now? You can't stay here if you don't have a roles." Error reminds me of the roles.
"I can be a supportive Teacher to June-" Error cut me off with a no.
"There's too much roles nowadays. I prefer if you leave this multiverse."
"L-Leave? Error, I can't do that. I have friends and job-" Error hushed me by using his doll. Huh, it's a doll of him.
"Your friends will abandoned you sooner and you literally jobless now." he said in irritated tone as I frowned.
Why am I frowning a lot today? Was it because I am not the Guardian anymore???
"Well... Where should I even go now?" I asked.
"Hmm... I have three options for you. First, the original au, second is Dreamswap and third is normal multiverse."
"I don't really want to leave..."
"Just do it. Who know you can actually be happy than a fake goody two shoes who pretended to be happy. "
"That didn't help." I sighed;"Look... I'll just stay with my friends, I'm sure I am happy."
"and if you don't. Come to me and I'll fulfill my role as destroyer." He said as I nodded slightly.
"Thanks, Error..." I smiled slightly. "Uhm... Do you want to hang out with me for a while?"
"If you have tea then yes." Error crack a smile and sat 1 meter away next to me.
Gossiping isn't my thing but I figured almost everyone like to gossip. So I had to pick up on this bad habits.
A little while later, I decided it's the best time to go home... ... But... *SIGH*
Stop being negative...
I say my goodbye to Error and entered the portal as it lead me right into the house. I heard laughter coming from the kitchen. Then there I saw June and others is having fun. They are so sweets together.
Haha... ..."Guys, I'm back!" I put a fake smile.
"Dream!" both Swap and June called my name at the same time. Swap is worried for me while June seems excited? And Ink is just Ink.
"Where have you been?!" Swap went to me and worriedly checked me.
"I was in Omega Timeline. Core wanted me to introduce June to everyone tomorrow." I lied.
"oh.. I understand. Well, have a seat and eat your dinner." I nodded as I took a seat.
June look at me with a smile. I wonder what's she thinking. Whatever it is, I am thirsty so o took a sip of my drink.
"So Dream, can I have your crown and cape?" I choked on my drink. Ugh- that hurts.
"Excuse, what?" I want her to repeat that again.
"Oh, Ink said that your crown and cape is the symbol of Guardian of Positive so-"
"No it's not. Ink lied. I inherited my cape from my brother and this crown belong to me ever since I was born." I don't like this atmosphere. I lost appetite already.
"But Ink-" "Who do you believe more? A forgetful Creator or Guardian of Positivity." I glared at Ink. June flinched a little but smile anyway.
"You..." she confessed. Ink looks betrayed a bit. What a pain...
"Thank you for the dinner, Swap. Apparently I lose my appetite but don't worry, K?" I didn't let him reply and thus I left the kitchen. Why do I even bother to come home.
I entered my room-
... ...
I entered mine and June's room. My bed position is still the same, right next to the window. At least Ink is kind enough to not remove anything.
I lay on my bed and slump my head on my pillow. If I can scream, I will.
Then there's a knock on the door. Who-
"Hey Dream, it's me, June!" her voice sounds hurt... " I wanna say that I am sorry for misspoke and hurt you feelings..."
... Crap, the guiltiness. I groaned and walk toward the door. It's not even locked, why didn't she just come in???
"Uhm..." I can't find words to say.
"I'm sorry! It must been so uncomfortable for you because of my arrival." she frowned. "I was too excited and seem like I forgot to consider other people feelings on this..."
"I am alright, really. You don't have to apologize anymore." I reassured her by patting her shoulder.
"wow you are really kind!" she then hug me.
... ... Pfft, this remind me of him. I gave up and hug her back.
"So are we friends now?" she asked.
"Well you are apart of this team. Of course we are friends." I smiles at her.
Just now, her blue orbs spark like stars. Now that's more like Ink-
"Hehe! We will be the best friend ever!" she exclaim happily.
I guess this is not so bad after all...
