(PART 2 CHAPTER 10. THAT'S SOMETHING TO DEFINETLY LOOK FORWARD TO. BASED ON MY UPLOAD SCHEDULE IT SHOULD COME OUT ON JULY 28TH OR AROUND THAT TIME, IT'S A LONG AND INTENSE CHAPTER AND I'M SUPER PROUD OF IT)

=Nightmare Steve's POV=

I arrived at the In-Between, landing gracefully on the center pedestal. I looked over at Elemental Steve, who smiled at me.

"Hello, Nightmare Steve." He said. I chuckled, smirking mischievously. "Hello to you too, Elemental Steve~!" I called out.

Elemental Steve looked me up and down. "You need a change of clothes." He frowned. I scoffed, offended. "These are my favorite clothes!"

"We'll you're going to have a new favorite." He said, activating his powers. I watched as he summoned some fabric, using his abilities to cut, tear and sew it.

He eventually handed a new yellow and black tunic and dark grey pants to me, along with a flowy red cape. "Go take a shower, Nightmare Steve. You need one." Elemental Steve offered. I went to protest, but he shut me up by putting his finger on my lips. "Do it." He ordered.

I scoffed, then walked into a portal with my new clothes. My face felt as red as the Red Steve I absorbed.

I took my shower and then dried off, then pulled on my new shirt and pants. I pulled on the red cape, smiling a bit at myself. I felt powerful in this outfit.

I put my crown back on and headed back into the center of the In-Between, where Elemental Steve was waiting for me. He smirked at me. "Like the new clothes?" He asked.

"..Yah." I admitted,scratching the back of my neck. Elemental Steve walked over and grabbed the crown off my head. "Hey!" I shouted. I tried to grab the crown back, but he put a hand out to block me.

"This wretched thing is all dirty, it needs shining!" He exclaimed, shoving me over. He summoned water onto it, cleaning it. I growled at him, causing him to shoot a glare at me.

I got up and snatched my crown back, fitting it onto my head. "Aren't you going to thank me?" Elemental Steve asked. I huffed. "Fine! Thank you." I crossed my arms.

He chuckled. "I made you new boots as well, Nightmare Steve." He commented, handing me a set of brand new black boots. I huffed, replacing my old ones with the new ones. They were comfortable, like my new clothes.

I didn't even realize Elemental Steve moved until I was suddenly pulled to sit on a stair step, him sitting behind me. He took my crown off, and I felt something go through my hair.

"Hey!!" I shouted. I went to get up, but Elemental Steve wrapped a leg around me. I struggled against him, only to earn a whack on the head. I hissed at him, snatching my crown and hugging it close.

"Let me brush your messy hair!" He ordered. I huffed, pouting. I should be out there destroying stuff and ruining Sabre and Rainbow Steve's lives, but no. Elemental Steve wants to brush my hair.

I can't remember the last time I brushed my long, matted hair. Or even cut it, for that matter. My head suddenly felt lighter. I turned my head to see Elemental Steve holding shears and a matted mess of black and yellow hair.

I put my hand on the back of my head. My hair was now just above shoulder length. I screamed.

=Elemental Steve's POV=

I tossed the mess into the lava, letting Nightmare Steve go. He kept feeling his hair, in pure panic. I smirked, laughing a bit. "Come here, Nightmare. I'll make it a good cut." I offered.

He growled and backed away from me. "No!! I liked my hair!!" He yelled. I grabbed him and shoved him to the ground, brushing out his hair despite his protests. I finished quickly, then began to cut his hair into a better style.

I soon finished and stood back, Nightmare Steve stood up, facing away from me. I admired my work as he slowly turned to me, his hair now even shorter. It looked good, however, being an undercut.

I smirked at him as he faced me. "IDIOT!!" He yelled. He charged at me and tackled me in anger. I grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the floor.

"Go to your room." I ordered, standing above him. He growled and got up, then left. I shook my head.

"Ungrateful rat.."
