He never thought his gang could be worse but here he was. Trying to get dust to stop crying, horror out of the snacks, killer out of danger, and error in the house. Cross was being good at least.

It was almost night... how would he get all of them to sleep... he was afraid of scaring them. What if I he snaps.

Dear stars he could kill them!!!

He doesn't feel great...

He pulls himself together and speaks up, "ok we need to get ready for bed! You guys will want to go out tomorrow right? So if we wanna go nice and early to have a lot of fun we need to sleep!"

Killer grips onto nightmare, "don't leave me alone..."

Horror grumbles as he dangles from nightmares tentacle. Error nods, "your... probably right... where should we sleep?"

Nightmare looks towards the stairs and sighs, "we're going to sleep on the couch for tonight... I still need to... um... clean the house properly..." it was kind of the truth. Mostly he needed to clean their rooms for safety. The kids all nod in agreement. Killer smiles, "yes! All of us will be here so nothing will get us!" Cross turns towards him, "what do you mean?" Kill turns towards him in response, "the dark will eat you up if your alone. You'll see a bright red smile before it gobbles you up!"

"..."

Nightmare is pretty sure cross mentally died on the spot. Shit... he sighs, "that's not true..."

"Then what else would happen? The dark is scary! The night is evil!" Nightmare freezes up slightly, "no it's not... I would know because I am the element of the night..." error's eyes quickly light up in thought at this. Cross comes out of his terror and turns towards him, "are you made of moon?" Horror mumbles, "cheez..."

Nightmare giggles softly, "no... I mean... my name is nightmare... I... take care of people whilst they sleep..."

Well... not really anymore... but he didn't want to scare them... killer looks down in thought, "but... every time... I try to sleep I get hurt..." he tears up. Nightmare quickly wipes it away and pulls him close, "...don't worry... from now on none of you will have to fear the night... come to the couch and cuddle close..."

He pulls the group to the couch and huddles them close to him. Perfect.

He hums softly to them. He watches as one by one they fall asleep. Even killer... perfect...

He was tired... but he didn't want their dreams to hurt them... dust would wake up in 2 hours or so anyways... he could monitor them for tonight...
