"Aunt Linda can come.""So can grandma and grandpa!""What about your cousin? Is she still in Hawaii?""No. She can come too.""I'm gonna go pick up some chicken and steak for carnitas!""Be sure to get some tri-tip and magic meat too! And don't forget the bread rolls!""Do we have any sauce? And where's the smoker?""I'm sending for a car to go and get Mike!"Dream watched as his family ran around the house or left for the store busily. All of them called up different members of the family or friends to notify them of the situation, and there were soon a few dozen people who were scheduled to arrive the next day.And while there were so many people coming, it wasn't of any consequence. With how much money Dream's family was making now along with the big mansion, they could easily accommodate whoever they wanted. Apparently over the last couple of years, all the parties and gatherings during the holidays or special occasions were hosted at their house.So, while Dream's family prepare
"Welcome to Paris!""Oh. Cool tower."Iris spoke as they landed in a large plaza. In front of them was the Eiffel tower.Since it was around dusk, the setting sun painted the sky pink and cast a warm glow on the tower and the buildings around it. It made for a brilliant display, however, since Luna and Iris's standards for extraordinary constructs were sky high, it didn't impress them much. But it wasn't like they didn't think it was nice. This was Earth after all. Things were different here."This tower was built and has been standing for nearly 200 years.""200 years huh? That's a pretty long time. Especially for such a crudely built and mana-less building. Hey, I see a room up there. Can we go up?"Iris pointed as she focused on the top of the tower. With her powers, she could naturally scan the entirety of the tower instantly. She already knew everything about it in and out as soon as she landed."Sure."Dream nodded and activated his magic, flying the three to the top of the towe
"I'm home!"Dream shouted as he entered the house. When he did, he could already smell cooking food."Hey! Where were you all this time?"Melody spoke from the kitchen where she was helping her mother prepare food. When Dream walked over, he could see several pounds of meat, some chips and dip, taco shells, pizzas, spaghetti, and more."I was traveling the world. Why, did you need me?""No, just wanted to make sure you didn't miss the party. People start showing up at 3.""Alright."Dream nodded. There was an hour before then."By the way, what's with those new cars in the garage?"Dream's mother spoke, and he smiled."Those are the cars I promised you. I built them myself.""When?""Yesterday. They can fly and are self driving. They also don't need refueling, so go ahead and toss out those other cars when you're ready.""Flying cars? Are you serious?"Melody looked at him as if he were stupid. Dream just shrugged."Go try it if you don't believe me.""Hmm... Mom?""Go ahead.""Okay!"
"150 years old?! There's no way!""You mean to tell me that that huge cube in the sky is yours?""How do you get such glossy hair? And you really don't wear makeup, huh?""How the hell does that even work, having two girlfriends? I can barely handle one wife!""Hold on, are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice?""Make an ice statue! Wait, but not inside. Make a big one outside!"Hours passed, and the night was filled with inquiries into the lives of the new members of the family. Luna, Iris, Riddick, and Selene were all bombarded with questions. Dream also wasn't spared, and he eventually went on to do a recounting of the past few years, depicting his life on the other world.Because of this, most of the family had eventually gathered around in the living room. Some of the younger kids were either oogling at the girls or running around, while most of the adults were drinking and eating. They had already gone through several bottles of alcohol, though that wasn't odd for such a big
When the three girls appeared in the cabin, they saw Dream pondering to himself. Luna and Iris glanced at Alice before the three of them took a seat on the couch.As they did, Dream was processing things in his mind space, blocking out the world around him.'She's really back...'He muttered inwardly. Because his mental faculties were far above a normal human's, processing odd, out of place, or sudden changes didn't take very long. For him, Alice had simply appeared. While that would bring about several changes, everything was quickly fleshed out in his mind.However, the impact of her appearance was still great. Dream almost didn't want to believe it. But she was there. The same person that he knew.Alice was a short woman, only a year younger than him at 22. She was only 5' 2", so both Dream and the girls basically towered over her. She had golden hair, crystal blue eyes, a cute but mature face, and a curvy hourglass figure. While there were subtle changes due to the fact that she w
After Dream appeared in the air over the south pole, he had Sophia set a timer for a few hours from now. They all had to return before everyone woke up, especially Alice.When the girls appeared, they started adjusting their moods, preparing for the battle. Usually, Luna and Iris would pit themselves against Dream, going all out to make him break a sweat. But now, not only were they more powerful, Alice was here. Nobody knew clearly how powerful she was. All they knew was that she shouldn't be far off from Dream's level."Alright, standard procedure. You three against me. Control yourself though, Iris.""Why?""I don't need to save the world from flooding due to the entire south pole being melted. Just keep things off the ground. Alright pumpkin?""Whatever. Luna can just freeze it again. Now come on!"Flaring up, Iris transformed into her fox form and flew toward Dream like a fiery comet. The glaciers a hundred meters below her immediately started melting, and the blizzard around the
That day, Alice brought her parents over to the Dreamer household. And sure enough, when her parents saw Dream, they were stunned, though not as much when they saw their resurrected daughter.Being Alice's boyfriend, Dream naturally had a good relationship with her parents. They were a more mellow couple unlike the people in his family. Alice was also an only child, so their family dynamic was very different. Nonetheless, the two families were on good terms and kept in touch, so Alice's parents had heard of Dream's own death, which they also grieved. They couldn't help but feel guilt as well since their daughter's death had dealt him such a huge blow. But now, these two people had both returned. It was inconceivable.After seeing Dream though, Alice's parents seemed to come to terms with the new reality. The world was different now, and while they didn't understand magic systematically, they understood that seemingly impossible things were no longer impossible. They just needed enough
"I'm doing it.""I figured..."Dream sighed when his sister flew over to him. In front of them was lava, pillars of which occasionally rose into the air.Melody's decision wasn't surprising. He already knew she would want to. Still, she hopefully understood what she was getting herself into."Well, I'm not gonna stop you. Sophia."[Now?]"Why not."[Alright. Commencing Title bestowal...]When Sophia spoke, she connected to Melody, Luna, Iris, and Alice. The five of them created one powerful star as the transcendent power of the paper fragments was activated. Dream didn't even turn around to observe as the girls received their new titles.The process was simple, not flashy or redundant. Each girl received a title and skills.Luna received the [Origin Guardian] Title. This title actually provided her with a similar boost to Dream's power. For one, her experience gain was multiplied by 3, and she could also receive experience based on her assistance to other Specialists. Basically, if sh
