Nightmare frowned looking at the leather clad dog eared book, it was in rough shape and wished he'd managed to get it before the villagers had gotten to in Dreamtale.

Not that he knew it existed back then.

Really, a book about the information of Dreamtale and the tree and apples.

It was almost like a glorified tour book, making the apples sound like god apples and the guardians were a demon and angel.

"No wonder the villagers thought they had to save Dream from me, other then them being sadistic greedy Funkers" Nightmare grumbled, wishing he could time travel and Dust whoever the writer was.

"Unrad!"

"Urgh... Fresh, stop censoring me" Nightmare groaned, but didn't do anything else as he'd agreed to have the 90's parasite in his base while he borrowed the book.

"No can Brag, super Uncool"

"Hey Nightmare, need your help" Reaper said walking into his office.

"Wait.. how do you know where I live?" Nightmare said annoyed.

"Your still living in the same place, you know from when I possessed Dust" Reaper pointed out dryly.

Nightmare swore, or tried to swear. Instead confusing and kind of hilarious words came out due to the censoring "And the castle can be seen for miles"

"Fine.. what do you want?" Nightmare asked wanting to grind his teeth, did no one get the point of secret bases anymore?
"So... we might have a second Dream in the multiverse, a child one" Reaper replied.

"What.." came the flat reply.

"And apparently due to that there so much positivity Dream is pretty much high"

"Everything is rainbow and sparkly" Dream said actually loopy from too must positive emotions.

"Dream! Get down from there!" a panicked Ink cried, trying to get Dream from climbing a cliff side like a sugar high squirrel on crack.

"No, I must catch the rainbow!" Dream giggled.

There was no rainbow.

"Yeah... he won't be any help, is there any way to turn off the kids guardian ability with them almost comatose" Reaper admitted.

"I'll borrow it again later" Nightmare sighed putting the book into Fresh's arms.

"Righto, see ya' bro other para!" Fresh said giving a thumbs up.

"I'm not a parasite, possessing others isn't the same" Reaper protested, Fresh had decided they were parasite brahs after Repent possessing issue.

FRESH POOF

He groaned and opened a portal, Nightmare quickly following him through.

On the other side of the portal was a bedroom, a small sharp breath escaped him at seeing the too still form on the bed.

Dream...

So young...

"Lets get to work, I'm going to wake the kid up" Nightmare said stepping forward.
