The day felt like a quick-paced day. Not rushed, just them wanting to get the letters over with.

Dream was looking through the letters before picking one. "Okay..." he glanced around. Yup, everyone was there. Nightmare petting Cross was starting to become normal. He opened the first letter.

"Small question for everyone: What is your opinion on Shattered Dream? Another question for Marvul, Nightmare, Dream, and Halluciv: What do you think about people shipping you and your brother together? A  dare: Xcellence, go cuddle Marvul. Same for Nightmare, go cuddle Dream like it was the old times! (PS, they only have to do this for five minutes.) Asked by Sansy-ton33."

"Oh, that version of Dreamy?" Nightmare asked. "Decent guy, behind all the dark humor. Dream dislikes him."

"Dislike is a strong word..." Dream pointed out weakly. "He's just....interesting."

"As for the pairing thing, personally I'm fine with it when it's romantic. People used to mash gods and goddesses together all the time." Nightmare shrugged. Dream nodded.

"Wait, people do that with us?" Marvul looked mildly disturbed. "Oh, no thanks."

"....ehhh." Halluciv shrank back against Xcellence, who looked like he was going to slap whoever admitted they see Halluciv and Marvul together. "...I don't like it..."

"Well." Dream stood up and set the letter down. Nightmare hissed, louder when Cross slid out of his arms.

"Don't you d-"

Dream flopped beside him and hugged Nightmare, letting out a content sigh and closing his eyes. "...I have to admit this is nice." he murmured. Nightmare grumbled, but hugged him back. Cross awed something about their bonding.

"...hope I don't die." Xcellence muttered. Halluciv slid out of his lap and watched curiously as X stood up and walked over to a mildly distraught Marvul. Marvul let out a whine when Xcellence awkwardly hugged him. "...I don't know how to feel about this."

"I don't like this at all." Marvul muttered. Halluciv giggled. "Oh, come on."

The five minutes passed.

Dream stayed cuddled into Nightmare's side, taking another note and opening it. Xcellence backed away from Marvul and went back to hugging Halluciv. Cross leaned over Nightmare's shoulder to see what Dream was reading.

"For Xcellence only (he can leave the room to answer this if he wants): do you like Halluciv in a romantic way or do you only see him as a platonic partner? It's obvious how Lucy sees you but what about your thoughts? Asked by Mother_Shadow."

Xcellence looked at Dream blankly for a moment, then at Marvul, who was already glaring. "...I'd like to say romantic." Halluciv squealed happily. "...but Marvul wants me dead for it. I say otherwise half the time and Halluciv knows why."

"You're a mortal!" Marvul hissed. Halluciv flinched, hugging X tighter, and Xcellence sighed. "Xcellence is gonna die one day and-"

"OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH."

Marvul shut up immediately. Nightmare resumed hugging Cross and Dream, his gaze narrowed. "Thank you, now please never say that again about any mortals here. Dream, next letter?"

"O-okay." Dream said weakly, picking up the third letter and opening it. "What's your favorite anime/cartoon?And who would you rather switch bodies with? Asked by MinecraftLover900."

"...I like Pokémon." Halluciv said immediately, pleased to change the subject. "It's been around for a long time, too, and isn't stopping anytime soon..."

"Pokémon's cool." Cross agreed. Halluciv smiled happily, glad that someone liked it too.

"I...don't watch anime."

Halluciv gasped dramatically and grabbed Xcellence by the shoulders. "IT IS TIME."

"I don't either." Nightmare said. Cross looked offended. "Honestly, I don't get the appeal. There are already weird animals in the wild. I swear out here I saw a Jackalope."

"...yeah, neither do I." Marvul said slowly, and Halluciv looked determined.

"I do watch anime sometimes." Dream shrugged, speaking before Halluciv could steal them into the world of anime. "Not often, though. Mostly just with Ink. For the body swap, I suppose it'd be with Nightmare or Halluciv. I wonder what it'd feel like."

The rest of the energy beings in the room nodded among themselves about swapping with their siblings to see how it'd feel. Xcellence and Cross awkwardly sat there, waiting for the others to quiet down.

"...I'll go with Nightmare."

"I'd go with Halluciv. Or Marvul, to see what goes on through his thick skull." Xcellence ignored Marvul's glare.

"Your souls would be ripped apart, but fair enough." Dream shrugged. "Final letter." he paused. "It says 'sorry, this was the last one and it was funny.'"

Dream looked at the letter and blinked. "Wish me luck reading this."

"Get on with it."

"I DARE DA CROSSMARE TO KISH!!!! (on da lips) Also: *Drops a package filled wid movies * watch Deadpool ish mah dare. Ask: Nightmare: Do u luv cross? And y u tsundere Cross: Y do u say killer is more sociable dan ur nightlight? Celly: Y u tsundere as well? Marvul: U gay? : Lucy: Y u luv Celly? Asked by AryanaAndugo."

"What the actual fuck is that supposed to translate to." Marvul muttered. "...all I picked up was that asking if I was gay. Which I'm not, I'm straight."

"I...what does tsunere even mean." Xcellence said quietly. "...I don't think so?"

"I do love Xcellence..."

"Same for Cross." Nightmare grunted. "No idea was tsundere means."

"Nightmare will murder any stranger who walks up to him." Cross sighed. "Killer will talk to them like a normal person, albeit with more dark humor."

"Hey!" Nightmare looked offended, then swore loudly when a box popped into existence and fell on top of him. He let it fall to the floor.

"That's a lot of Deadpool." Xcellence said. "Halluciv, no watching it."

"Aww..."

"Kiiissss..." Dream said quietly, sliding away from Nightmare and Cross before be could be smacked for saying that.

"H-he-" Cross blushed a deep blue when Nightmare shamelessly cupped his head in his hands and pressed their 'lips' together. Cross squealed, his eyes widening.

Nightmare either knew what he was doing or he didn't, because he turned it into a French kiss. Cross closed his eyes, letting it happen and letting out a small groan into the kiss.

"Oh, no, don't do that here." Xcellence sighed. Nightmare ignored him and Cross looked too dazed to response. He stood and picked Halluciv up. "Okay, bye." Marvul followed them upstairs. Dream sighed and teleported away.

Nightmare deepened the kiss, pinning Cross to the back of the couch. The smaller skeleton squirmed under him, panting lightly until he finally pulled away. "Y-you...r-really don't k-know how to s-start a kiss..." Cross panted, blushing deep purple.

"So? You liked it."

"In front of everyone...."

"And?"
