Chapter Text
“Dream?! Are you alright!?” Swap worriedly shook Dream, who’d usually be up by now.
“Calm down Swap, can the guy not sleep in once in a while.” The smaller shrugged it off, clicking off Dreams noisy alarm clock that had been annoyingly beeping for hours.
“Ink he’s not waking up??”
“Swap. He’s F I N E. He’s not dead, if he were he’d be a pile of dust. Let’s go, Nightmares probably already out destroying AU’s”
“Are you sure?..”
“Yes, let’s go.” Ink rose his large paint brush then swooped it down abruptly, creating a large ink puddle on the ground. The puddle bubbled for a second before turning into a portal which the two promptly disappeared into, leaving Dream alone.

“C’mon Boss, don’t cha’ think we’ve done enough here? This place is in literal shambles~” Killer sung while dancing around Nightmare, who was concentrated on their surroundings, waiting for the Stars.
“You can wait a few more minutes you impatient little shit, Horror and Dust are still having their fun.”
“Ugh, whatever” He rolled his eyes, doing tricks with a blood covered knife.
A puddle of ink seeped through the blood covered earth, bubbling into two figures. One was extremely short while the other was oddly tall. Nightmare and Killer both looked up preparing for a fight.
“Where’s Dream~? Did he finally get tired of you two and quit~?” Killer taunted, cracking his knuckles while clenching his knife.
“And why would you care?” Smugly replied Swap.
“Just wonderin’~” The Murderer laughed.
“Where is Dream? That annoying ball of light isn’t going to surprise attack us, is he?” Nightmare groaned, his voice deep and annoyed.
“I guess you will have to wait and see, tar covered octopus~“ Ink took the first swing, lunging at Nightmare who promptly teleported away leaving his subordinate in charge.
Nightmare teleported to the Stars base, he knew where it was and could attack at anytime though chose not to as not to cause unnecessary fights. He looked around the base, knowing Dream was somewhere in the quiet house. Nightmare always knew where Dream was due to his over bearing positivity. He usually wouldn’t willingly follow Dream aura, though, ever since that morning he could feel something was off. The balance was off.
Finally he stumbled across a door that had promising signs. The door was covered in bright yellow star stickers with a small dark yellow sign that hung from the handle. The words on the sign spelt “D R E A M”, with a star on each end of the oh so familiar word. Nightmare grabbed the handle of the door, making sure not to make to much noise as he twisted the handle. He slowly opened the door, peaking his head inside. After the door was opened he walked fully inside looking around the brightly colored room. That’s when he saw Dream. His arch enemy. His nemesis. His.. Brother. Dream laid peacefully in his bed, a single tear rested on his cheek, set in stone.
