43. Old Times

3rd Person Omniscient POV

Nightmare and Dream sneak along the Prime Path towards a certain someone's house.

Dream grips the sign tightly and smirks as he remembers how good it felt to have the upper hand.

They make their way to a small house built into a dirt hill. Overlooking the sunrise, a bench sits atop a cliff next to a jukebox and tree.

Where it all began. Dream thinks.

"You okay?" Nightmare asks. Her gaze flickers towards the yellow and black walls surrounding the base.

"Yeah," he gazes at the jukebox.

I will get my revenge.

They get to work, digging under the base and making a small pit made of stone with a jukebox and chest. In the chest Dream places a scratched over disc that he recorded making sure he remembers their time together.

They set a trap so when the tripwire is crossed, a hole will open, dropping him inside.

Dream leaves a sign on top, written in green ink.

Did you miss me? :)

"We done?" Nightmare asks.

"Not yet," Dream's eyes glint with happiness. "I'm going to visit an old friend"

"Sounds good. Why don't you do that while I go visit someone too." She says.

"Okay, meet you back at the base" Dream runs off without another world. Heading in a direction he knows too well. His kingdom.

Nightmare heads off towards a friend's house. She knocks on the door.

It opens a crack.

"What do you want?"

"Are you alone?" She asks.

"Yes, why?"

"I need to talk to you."

"Why exactly?" The person asks.

"I'm here to have a chat with you, Bad"

The door swings open and Bad's worried face shows.

"Y—I mean Nightmare! Come in!"

He waves her inside and leads her over to some couches.

"Tea?" He asks.

She nods and he hands her a up before sitting adjacent to her in a chair.

Nightmare lifts her mask and sets it on the table.

"I was wondering what happened to you" Bad says taking a sip. "Quite the show you put on"

"Yeah, sorry about the prison break. I hope I didn't hurt you too badly"

"It's fine. You needed to get Dream out"

"Thanks for making sure I could get in the prison without being seen"

"Oh no problem, they never suspected me. Sam kept taking me on trips to find you both. Dream's been doing alright?"

"He's been doing fine. Took some recovery time but he's as good as ever now"

"That's good." Bad finishes his tea and pours some more. "That muffinhead did some bad stuff but I felt so sorry for him in prison"

He grins.
"My crying was so good, they believed it"

"Yeah, the reaction to my death? I watched." Y/N finishes the cup.

"Punz, Sapnap, George, and Karl have agreed to be allies of Dream and I"
