-Cross POV-

"COME ON CHARA!" I'm running on the surface. Chara trailing behind me. I saw a tree that I really wanted to climb for some weird reason. It had some mismatch fruits on it.

"Aren't we to old for this?" Chara asks.

"Aren't we to old to like chocolate?" I smirk.

"Shut up." He laughs. "No one's too old for chocolate."

"Then I can climb the tree." I nudge him slightly.

The tree was not the high, I just wanted to act like a kid.

"Don't ask for me when you're dying then." He sits on the ground, eating chocolate. I laugh and start to climb the tree.

~5 Seconds​ of Time skip~

"CHARA!" I yell at the top of the tree. Chara looks up, clearly annoyed.

"Don't tell me... You've gotten yourself stuck in the tree?" I nod from far away. "God damnit Cross." I grip a branch. I did not realize how high this was.

"JUST HELP!" I yell. He (they?) started to brainstorm.

"Try to climb down." He suggests. I whimper, but do so.

A branch snaps when I try to go on the darker side of the tree. I scream. I'm holding onto the trunk for dear life.

"Cross you idiot." I hear Chara mumble.

"I HEARD THAT!"

~A few minutes of the X-tale siblings fighting later....~

"Ok, ok. You're screwed." Chara states. I mutter in annoyance.

"Why don't you try to climb the tree?"

"Because I don't want to get stuck."

"Good Point."

"I''m going to find some help. You stay here." Chara concludes and runs off.

"Wait- nevermind."

After a few minutes, I start to realy regret my descisions. "I'm so stupid." I try not to look down; i don't fell like being scared out of my mind today.

During my self-loathing, I hear a voice. "Um, excuse me?" I look down. It's a skeleton like me, but he's wearing yellowish orange clothes. "Who are you?" They say in a cheerful voice. "I'm Dream!" I try not to laugh at the sheer adorableness of this one skeleton.

"I'm Cross. I sort of got stuck in this tree, can you help?" I look down and immeadiately regret it. I hug the trunk f the tree tighter.

"'Oh! Yea, I can. Sorry." He uses magic to bring me down to the ground.

"Thanks." I take a moment to appreciate the ground. I hear an 'ahem' and look back at Dream.

"Why were you even climbing that tree?" I try to explain.

"Um. I wanted to act like a child." Damn it.

"Oh. We all are children one are or another. Heh. Well. I should get going, I have to meet up with my brother. Nice meeting you Cross!" And with that, the cherry skeleton went away.

I stare off into space, a feeling of dread in my stomach. "I forgot about Chara."

~Le time skip~

Chara got help, and when they arrived, the look on Chara's face was pure annoyance.

After an hour of scolding, we decided to get some food.

We decided to go to this place called Muffet's spider Bakery. It had chocolate. And Tacos.

We walked in to the dainty little restaurant with Me annoying Chara to death. (Ok. Gonna call them they.)

"Cross I swear to god." They were about to strangle me when someone tapped my shoulder. I turn around.

It was Dream.

"Oh Hey Dream." I greet; surprised at the very least.

"I never thought I would see you here!" He looked so cheery, I felt dull just being around him.

"Yeah. Surprising." I laugh.

"I'm getting chocolate, You be awkward." They leave to get chocolate.

"Oh. So, I was wondering if you and your sibling would like to hang out with my brother and me." I look at him in a question.

"Um-"

"I'm sorry it's out of the blue, but you guys are newer here so I thought you would like to get to know the area.

"It's okay. Heh. I would love too." The little skeleton beamed. "I just need to get Chara."

"I'll get my brother wait here. I'll be back."

"Okay." With that the skeleton left.

"What happened Cross?" Chara comes back with a mouth full of chocolate.

"We're going on a tour."

~Time Skip~ (Night in Passive)

"WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!" Chara not only yelled at me, but Dream's brother too.

"We're new." I tell Chara.

Both of them grunt in annoyance.

"So where do you want to see first?" Dream desperately tried to change the subject.

"Home." Nightmare grumbled. Dream glares.

"I swear to Asgore." Dream mutters. Chara chuckles, I elbow him.

"Can you show us where the College is?" Nightmare looks up.

"How old are you guys exactly." He asks.

"Yes." Chara uses snark.

"19." I add. Chara has a smug look on their face.

Nightmare ponders, "You're the same age as us."

"Nice." I say casually. THESE SKELLIES ARE SO SHORT.

"And yes, we know we're short." Dream laughs. Nightmare grumbles some more.

Nightmare grabs my hand. "Come on. Let's hurry up on this tour, I'm tired."

~Tem Skip~

After a while of showing destinations; we all agreed it was getting late.

Chara And Nightmare were angsty the entire time. Tho, I wasn't really annoyed with Nightmare. Weird. Dream Finnally gave up on being super cheerful and got weary.

"Well, Nice meeting you." I say and give a little wave.

"Nice seeing you too." Dream smiled back.

"Yeah, What he said." (Imma Inhale: THATS WHAT HE SAID) I stared at Nightmare for a minute. He seemed generally happy. He just really didn't show it.

My train of thought is cut off by Chara shoving me away.

"CROSS." They whine. "Let's go home." I laugh as I'm being pushed away.

"Good bye!"

I heard a small chuckle from Nightmare. I laugh some more.

One the way back to our apartment. Chara was yelling at me for forcing them to come.

"You're just tired."

"IM NOT FUCKIN TIRED."

"Yeah, right."

~Time Skip~

I'm trying to go to sleep. I hear Chara snoring, but I'm just awake. I can't really go to sleep that well. I just can't.

So after a few hours of me struggling, I finally go to sleep.

What I see in my dream is odd.

A black goo monster. (This is we're my ideas make me high) it had tentacles and looked very similar to a skeleton. (My ideas may kill someone)

I decide to walk up to the skeleton-like thing. "Um Hey." I cautiously approach it.

Nothing.

"Um. Sorry." I try to side step away. Why is my Dream so vivid.

It's like a forest scene, but something feels negative about it. I turn around to start exploring my dream.

"Not so fast." The creature speaks. I try not to act to shocked. I tentacle curls around my waist.

A gasp escapes from my mouth. It pulls me closer to the creature. I try to get my self out of his grasp.

"I swear-"

I'm cut off. "Aww. Don't swear. Cross."

I wake up.

Da fuck happened in my dream, It was more like a nightmare. I shivered. Why did I dream of that?!

I slowly get out of bed, careful not to wake Chara. I sneak out to go to the park; I need some fresh (Pun) air after last night.

When I reach the park, I just sit on swing and think.

The Dream was super random. My thoughts were cut off when someone sits on the ground in front of me.

"Hey." It was Nightmare. He looked sluggish.

"Hi." I respond.

"So.... how's life?" He tries to ignite small talk.

"If you want to ask me something just say it."

"Ok... how's life?" I glare.

"Well good, and aren't you suppose to be at home?" I hiss. I'm just not in the mood.

"Ok-cut the crap!" Nightmare bristled. (this verb was brought to you by the warrior cats series)

I stand up and look down at him. "WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?!" I'm just very tired. This Dream was weird. It scared me, but it was different. I still felt exhausted. And it was just a simple greeting then I woke up. It was morning then I came here. But the atmosphere of it was dark, even though nothing bad happened.

"Cross... Cross..." I look up from my feet, it was the black goo monster. I jump back and fall down. I hit my head and try to put some distance between me and the monster.

"Who are you?" I shake. The monster looks at me in confusion. "You know who you are.... Just tell me your name." My demeanor became cold.

"Cross. It's me Nightmare. What's wrong-" It seemed to realized something. "Dammit."

"Nightmare?" I stop moving. The monster seemed to morph back into the small skeleton. "What?" I'm become confuse and all traces of fear leave me as I stand up to face the -harmless- skeleton. I walk up to him. I still felt the dark atmosphere, and Nightmare was looking nervous as if something has been revealed- OH.

"Are you okay?" Nightmare asks trying to avoid talking about himself.

I answer grabbing his wrist. "No." He tries to pull away and run, but I don't let go. He's strong but not as strong as me.

"LET GO OF ME." He orders. I look at him with a dark expression.

"Nightmare. Answer me this. I use my other hand and point to his face. It's slowly turning black. "What is that?" He feels it and goo residue resides on his hand. He looks at it with a shocked expression, then makes eye contact with me with a pained one.

"Noth-"

"Shut up." I command. "You were in my dream. You were that," I pause. "Nightmare." He breaks eye contact with me. "IT WAS YOU!"

"Why are  you mad?" He asks. "I did not do anything." He asks. I look at him.

"It was negative and dangerous." And i look at him. "AND you came into my head without my knowing consent." I'm furious. "That may be cool with you, but not with me." I drop his arm. He rubs his wrist and looks at me when I turn away. I catch a look in his eye. It was a look of fury, of pain, and of regret. That's all I get, before I turn away.

"Have a nice day Nightmare."
