Chapter 2
Blueberry stood there in silence as the dust of destroyed buildings whirled around him, marking the path that the other took so recently. '' He acted so different... Is it bad that I don't want to tell Dream?'' , those thoughts circeld through his head as the dust slowly setteld, barely covering the dead ground and the black liquid. Since he hadn't moved, the trunk of the once beautifull tree was right besides him, but he payed it no mind, instead focusing on his moral conflict. ''...If I keep it a secret, and Dream finds out on his own, he might get angry at me'' But, maybe, it was better to keep all of this as a secret for now, his behaviour was just too odd. Now that this was setteld, Blue teleported back to his teammates.
Ink was talking with Dream, when the third member of the Star Sanses materialised right before them, interrupting their conversation. ''Blue, you're back ! Did you end up going home?'' , not that this information really mattered to the soulless skeleton, he was simply trying to be polite. ''Yes, Papy was asleep though, so I just talked to some people like Alphys. '' , while he didn't like lieing, he wasn't terrible at it, or so he hoped.
" That's great ! Are you allowed to join the Royal guard yet ? " , that had always been Blue's biggest wish, as far as Dream could remember, but it never fulfilled, since there were apparently no free spots.
''No not yet... Though, we did do some training !'' while he exclaimed that, trying to sound as happy and hopefull as possible, he wondered wheter he was a good liar or not. Trying to help his act, he smiled brightly : '' What are you guys doing ?'' The Creator simply shrugged, they didn't do anything important, they were just chatting about random stuff.
" Oh, we were just discussing about the Bad Sanses again, they have to be stopped ! " , as a being made of positivity, Dream could sense positive emotions, but no negative ones, so his assumptions weren't always true. " And I'm sure that you'll join them one day. "
''Oh okay...'' he said, remembering Nix and his theory of him being Nightmare. The memory of the tearstained skull carved itself deeply into his mind. It was as if that tree meant everything to him, he even called it mother, and Blue wouldn't want to take someone si important from anyone, no matter how bad they were. So, it would be an act of cruelty to tell his teammates, even if he'd have to lie about this day forever.
" Come on, we didn't say anything important, you didn't miss anything. Don't be sad about it, negative emotions do not suit you. " , the positive guardian could hear that Blueberry was upset about something, but he thought that it was because they had talked without him. He must really like their meetings if that caused him to be so distant, but they'd eventually have another one, right ? The villains never rested,even if his brother was sadly a part of them, they'd never stop destroying, were they really that soulless ?
''Oh that's not bothering me at all.... '' , was his honest answer. Instead, he was more worried about Nix for a reason he didn't understand. Looking at Dream, who always intruduced himself as the Guardian of Positivity, he mentally compared him to his new friend, immidiatly noticing their similiarities. They really were twins, weren't they ? So Nix was Nightmare...'' So, when is the next meeting?'', he asked, still trying to not sound suspicious.
" Well, there are no news right now, so it wouldn't be usefull at all...But hey, we could always go eat some Nice-Cream and call it a meeting ! " , Dream smiled at the thought of them sharing some sweets, he always liked them, while his brother hated candy. " We surely wouldn't meet my brother, he hates sweet stuff ! "
That reminded Blueberry of the secret that he was keeping from Dream and Ink. He could almost feel the guilt washing over him. ''O-of course Dream, that would be fun! When do we leave!'' he asked, sounding happy, he actually loved Nice-Cream and he wanted something sweet to eat. He had a weird today, so he decided to forget about it for now.
" Right now ! Let's go ! Ink, you're coming too ! " , this was going to be so much fun ! Choosing one of his favourite Universes, Outertale, he dragged everyone there, ignoring the irritated looks of the inhabitants.
Little did he know, someone else was here in order to stargaze, even if he wasn't supposed to. The glitchy skeleton watched the rushing God in confusion, before shrugging and following them.
Blue skipped along. After a while of walking, or skipping for blue, they made it to a Nice-Cream stand, where the Nice-Cream guy stood. He was a really nice guy. ''Hello!'' Blue said happily, as he piceds his Nice-Cream and bought it. Sitting down on a bench, he waited for his friends to get theirs, feeling a familiar presence, but ignoring it.
" I knew that some Nice Cream would bring your happieness back ! "
Error was honestly even more confused,why was the little Sans, which was his first offical friend, sad in the first place ? Did someone hurt him ? If yes, they'd be dead right where they stand, because that's what friends are for, well, insane friends.
" So...what should we do now ? The bad guys are unusually peacefull, nobody has destroyed anything since the meeting, do you think that they're planning something ? "
The Destroyer of Worlds, who was hidding in the shadows, scratched his head in confusion, yes, he didn't destroy anything, since he was stargazing, but why didn't Nightmare and his gang ?
''I have no clue.'' , he lied, he thought that Nightmare wasn't as bad anymore. He knew Nightmare got corrupted, but Nix wasn't like that, what if he regretted his actions ? The question is; why did the seemingly calm guardian become evil in the first place ? Underswap!Sans tried to forget that as he licked his Nice-Cream. ''Cold...'' , he said.
Dream didn't really belive that they'd be planing anything too dangerous, he was simply trying to start a conversation, but now, he was actually overthinking it, getting a little worried. Leaning back, he somehow managed to fall behind the bank they were sitting on, clumsieness must be a family trait. Though, he didn't hurt himself, since he landed on something soft.
Without any proper warning, something yellow fell on Error, knocking him down. As soon as he registered that it was Dream, his haephophopia started kicking in, worsening his glichtes.
" GeT oFf mE, yOU iDiOT ! "
''Error?'' , Blueberry asked, shocked because he didn't expect the Destroyer to be here. ''Glitchy'' , Ink added, using one of his nicknames. Both of them looked over to see Error glitching more than usual, and Dream who seemed to have fallen before.
The God of Destruction huffed, slowly sitting up. " DiDn'T yOuR mOtHeR tEaCh yOu thAt iT's rUdE tO fAlL oN peOpLe ? " , this was not going as planed, not that he did plan anything.
As soon as Dream dusted himself of, he looked over to whatever stopped his fall, stumbling back as he realised who it was.
" Error ? What are you doing in this AU ? I won't let you destroy it ! "
" SErIouSlY, siNcE whEn iS stArgAziNg a crImE ? "
''Error would destroy Outertale last'' , Blueberry said under his breathe. ''Also Error, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't talk about Dream's mother'' , he figured that if he'd cause the positive guardian to cry by talking about her, his glitchy friend doing would only affect him worse. The destroyed tree he saw in Dreamtale, it must've been a reminder of their mother. He didn't know why he was keeping such secrets from his friends, so he looked down, still not knowing if he was doing the right thing.
" WHy-oH. SoRrY, DrEaM, I fOrgOt..."
" I-what ? Did you just apoligize ? " , since when did the Destroyer start apoigizing ? And why did he apolgize in the first place ?
" UHh, yEs ? WhY ? Is tHeRe sOmEtHiNg wRonG wiTh tHaT ? " , the glitching god wasn't sure what his mistake was, wasn't apoligizing something polite ?
" You just...what ? Ink, help me here for a second, please."
Blue just watched in amusement, he was happy again, now he didn't worry about how Dream would react if he find out about 'Nix' or Nightmare anymore. He couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
" Blue stop laughing, you're not helping. " , the positive guardian pouted childishly, causing Error to grin, too.
" NaH, yOu'rE fiNe, tHiS iS fUnnY...InK, yoU'rE nOt rEaLlY eaTiNg poPcOrN, aRe yOu ? " , Dream's expression was priceless, and he would kill to see it again, not jokingly, he murdered people all the time, anyways.
He fell to the ground, laughing. ''I can't help it, Dream !''Tears of laughter glistered in his blue eyes as he started choughing.
Immidiatly, Error's grin faded, and he kneeled down besides his friend, while Dream started panicking.
" BlUe ? ArE yOu aLrIgHt ? "
" No, he's not ! Call an ambulance ! "
" If I cAlL tHe aMbUlAnCe, tHeY'lL tRy tO kiLl mE. " , there was no emotion within his voice, but everybody knew that he was telling the truth. Dream didn't know what to do, for some reason, Error was acting nothing like he should, and he couldn't help one of his bestest friends.
''I'm fine guys.'' , he finished coughing as he sat up. ''I was just laughing to much... It happens sometimes...'' Blueberry said, rubbing the back of his neck.
" BlUe ! YoU nEaRlY sCarEd mE oUt oF mY sKIN ! " , Error whined, unintentionally making a pun.
" Error, that isn't funny, this is not the right time for a pun ! How dare you make a pun at his misery ?! "
" He'S nOt mIsErAblE, dIdn'T yOu lIsTen ? AnD, hE doEs deSerVe tHe PUNishment."
''AHHH!'' the annoyed skeleton got up and walked off, he really hated it when people made puns around him. Though, maybe, he went a bit overboard by just walking off. Normally he would just tell them to stop. Sitting down on a lone hill, he lifted his head, admirering the stars.
" Look what you did ! Now you scared him off, and he'll fall down in the void or get attacked..."
" DrEaM, BlUeBerRy iSn'T sTuPid, aNd he cAn dEfeNd hiMself." , the positive twin was about to follow his friend, but blue strings caged him.
" L-let me go ! "
" NoPe, yOu'rE mInE nOw. "
After what felt like hours, Nightmare stopped crying, deciding that he should try to take his mind off the meeting with Blue, and Outertale seemed like the perfect place to take a walk. However, if Dream decided to come there and stop him -from stargazing- , he couldn't go in his passive form, so he forced his magic to stop fighting against the corruption, and it returned slowly, melting away what was once known as Dream's twin. Sighing, he stepped through the portal and started walking around, not paying attention to his surroudings.
''He knows that I hate puns, but of course he has to go and say some...'' Blue said quietly as he thought about his encounter. He felt calmer now that he was stargazing, today was weird for him. He met Nightmare, who told him that he was Nix, which he actually believed- at least at first. The Star Sanses got Nice-Cream, Error and Dream sorta got into a fight, and he nearly choked to death from laughing, yep a very weird day. He smiled at the stars.
Once again, Nightmare was about to trip on something, at first, he thought that it was a rock, but, as far as he knew, there were no blue rocks in Outertale. Thankfully, he managed to stop before bumping into the strange object, standing centimeters away fom it. Then, it, or rather he, as he realised shortly after the person started to talk, started to ramble about something, and the the negative guardian wanted nothing more than just jump down to the void from emberrassment, but he didn't. Instead, he replied : " Who?"
Starteld by the sudden dark voice, the swapped Sans looked up.''N-nightmare!'' , he said in shock, he didn't expect to see the Guardian of Negativity in Outertale of all places. He started to doubt his theory of Nightmare being Nix. ''W-why are you h-here?'' , he asked shakily.
The corrupted god plopped down besides his enemy, looking up at the stars. " The usual. Why are you, though ? Aren't you supposed to be with Dream right now ? "
' Don't get nervous, he doesn't know that it was you...'
''... I was with Dream and Ink, till Error popped up, and started bickering with Dream like children, but then he said a pun by accident, and Dream got angry at him, I dont why, and when he said another, I got annoyed and came here to relax.'' he said under his breathe.
" Wait, so Dream and Error are here ? Have they tried to kill each other yet ? " , one thing was for sure, those two wouldn't get along all of a sudden, even with Dream trusting every stranger. " That seems like a ruff day, but also an entertaining one, I wish that I could've been there. "
