"What the funk are you doing in my house!" Nightmare yelled. Error just tilted his head like a confused puppy, "iS thIs nOt nORmAl?" he asked. "If you mean coming into someones house and sneaking up on them unannounced, then yea!" Nightmare continued yelling. "ReaLLy? tHIs Is PRetTy NorMAl foR ME," Error replied. "Ugh, nevermind," Nightmare scoffed going back to his food. "wHAt's thAt?" Error asked Nightmare looking over his shoulder. "Steak" Nightmare answered focused on the neat in front of him. "I DoN't kNOw wHaT ThAT iS," he said. Nightmare stopped,  "what?" he asked in disbelief. "ArE YoU goNNa stANd ThErE aLl daY Or aRe yOU GoInG tO tELl mE wHaT yOu haVE?" Error shot back, "do you not know what food is?" Nightmare said in a state of shock. "Is iT lIKe WAtEr?" Error asked him. "Kind of" Nightmare had lost interest in the conversation and was now focused on his steak. Error had gotten bored and was now wandering around the room poking at things. Cross now being woken up by the two's conversation was heading down the stairs and you can imagine his surprise when he saw the destroyer of worlds in the living room. "WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Cross yelled at Error taking out his knife and pointing it towards the black boned skeleton. "A guest," Nightmare said to Cross. "OH I GuESs I aM A GuESt," Error said to Cross. Said skeleton rolled his eyes and went back upstairs to wake the others. "hE SEemS nICe" Error said looking at Cross as he ascended the stairs. "Since you're here why don't you at least tell me your name," Nightmare said to Error as he put his plate in the sink. "uUHm," hummed Error trying to remember what his name was since nobody spoke to him besides Ink, who always called him Glitch or Filth. "aH HAh!" Error yelled as his expression lit up "ErRRoR" he said with a proud face. "Well Error I have a deal for you," Nightmare smirked. Error's face became dark and he looked skeptically at Nightmare "wHAt KiND oF DEal?" he asked. "Business deal," Nightmare said casually. "wHat dO YOu MeAN?" Error asked. "Join me," Nightmare said sticking his hand out ready for a handshake. "WhAt'S iN It fOR mE?" Error was still skeptical which is understandable since the last time he made a deal was with Ink when he said that he wanted a truce. However after they shook hands Ink revealed he had put purple paint on his hand and chained Error to the ground and beat him with Broomie. "Well you join my team and I provide shelter food and companionship, and in return you help me spread negativity," Nightmare said. Error thought about it for some time before agreeing. 'Perfect, another ally' Nightmare thought "well now that you are going to be living here I might as well show you around," Nightmare said to Error as he began walking to the stairs. Error followed Nightmare up the steps and saw paintings around him. "Here are the bedrooms," Nightmare told Error "Mine is that one over there," he said pointing to a door that had many engravings in it and a moon in the center. "Over there is where the gang sleeps," Nightmare went on pointing to doors with engravings of a knife, scarf, axe, and X, each one symbolizing the skeleton who occupied the room. "And this will be your room," Nightmare pointed to a door with nothing on it and was next to the room with the scarf. Error opened the door and saw a dusty room with a bed and other furniture. "The mansion has a spell over it that allows the monsters inside to customize their room," Nightmare explained, as he said this Error summoned portals that made the furniture fall through into different AUs. Nightmare seemed puzzled as to why Error would get rid of the furniture but then the room became entirely white and a beanbag fell through a portal on the ceiling. Error walked over to the beanbag and flopped down on it. "This is it?" Nightmare asked perplexed by the changes his newest member had made to the room. "ThIS iS AbOUt aLl I HaD AT My OLd HoME," Error said grabbing needles and yarn and seemed to be making a puppet of some sorts.  Nightmare decided it would be best to leave Error alone and go make breakfast for the gang.

"What!" said a shocked Dream "That's impossible!" he yelled as he walked around in a panic. "Apparently it isn't," said Sci. "Everything I missed, what happened to the others!" Dream paced sweat dripping down his skull. "Others?" asked Ink curious. "The villagers!" Dream replied running around looking at the ruins of the place he once called home. Dream fell to his knees with yellow tears going down his skull. "they're all gone," Dream said distantly. He screamed and punched the floor. "I'm... sorry for your loss Dream," Sci said coming over to comfort Dream as well as Blue and Ink. "I'll be ok," Dream said in between sobs. Dream stood up and walked out of the town and walked over to the dead tree. The Tree of Feelings, once alive with different animals crawling about it but now a decaying husk of what it used to be. Dream sighed before hugging the tree and walking away. "Me and Nightmare made failsafe system so that if either of us would ever try to eat the apples there would be one left," said Dream walking to the right of the tree "lets just hope it's still here, does anyone here have a shovel?" he asked the group "I can make one," Ink said raising his hand. "make one?" Dream said confused. "I am the protector and creator of AUs I can make almost anything!" Ink told Dream as he gave the shovel he had created while talking to Dream. Dream walked 15 steps to the right of the tree and begun digging  exposing many worms and grubs that were in the ground. "It seems that you and Nightmare used to be pretty close," Sci said observant as ever. "We were brothers," he said "we did everything together, playing, sleeping, reading," he continued "eventually the villagers came and built the town. They would make us food and help educate as well," Dream huffed as he continued digging "Nightmare never really came to the village with me and  mostly stayed at the tree. Every time I came back he had scratches and wounds but would always say he was running around and tripped and fell," Dream's face has a frown on it now "he... ate the apples," Dream said stopping the digging. "Why would he do that?" Blue asked Dream with a sad expression. "I don't know, something about unpaid sins or something," Dream replied. Nobody talked after that and they just watched Dream continue digging the hole for another half hour until Dream shouted, "Here!" He grabbed a wooden box with a glass hatch on top, inside the box was a golden apple that radiated a happy feeling. Dream took a deep breath in before opening the box and biting into the apple. Dream's eyelights became a fiery yellow and his cape was regenerated into a longer one with a yellow apple on it, his gloves instead of being yellow turned into a gradient of yellow and orange. "I am getting my brother back!"
                          
A/N sorry this chapter took so long to come out! I was on a road trip with my dad in Georgia to meet my mom where she would take me down to Florida. So I couldn't write on the way and my mom signed me up for a camp so I was there for the week and that took 3 hours of my day and also I didn't have much motivation for this but I laid down and typed this chapter down so you all can read it.  Thank you all for reading and I will see you in the next chapter!
