Somethings Changed

Sans' Birthday

Nightmare quietly hummed as he walked through the shop. Looking around at the different items. Trying to find some wrapping paper, so he could wrap it around a few presents he and his family were making. Sans would be turning 16 soon.

They weren't going to do anything fancy or crazy. Like what happened when the scientists and Asgore came over to celebrate Dream and his late birthday. It's just going to be a simple family thing. Hanging out, having some cake, a couple of presents, maybe grabbing some Grillby's for supper.

The purple skeleton made a small hum as he finally found the wrapping paper. The shop didn't have much. It was wither a simple color or simple patterns. Like pokidots, snowflakes, and stuff like that.

Nightmare scratched the side of his skull as he looked over the different papers. Scratching the side of his skull, picking up one of the wrapping paper roll and looked it over. The wrapping paper is a simple dark blue with little white stars scattered about over the paper.

A small hum left him. A smile forming on his teeth. Sans sometimes talked about stars, from what little he could find on the topic. Even going off for hours on almost a sort of rant, but not exactly a rant. He would be praising about how amazing space is. How he wish to go out into space to see the stars and other planets for himself.

A little quiet chuckle left Nightmare as he remembered all the times Sans would get lost in conversation. As well as the times when Sans would ask Nightmare about what he knew about space. What the night sky looked like. If anyone could use the stars to travel around.

He loved telling his older brother everything he knew about space. He especially told his brother about these lights that would sometimes form in the sky. The lights would wave about in the sky. The purple skeleton vaguely remembered a villager calling those lights the Aurora lights.

It was fun to think about. His memories of the night sky. The stars, the moon, well everything. One night he had asked Dream to change yo Sans' dream just a bit. To make the cave ceiling the night sky. So Sans could sort of see  the night sky. He was so happy when he woke up.

Nightmare held the wrapping paper in his left hand. Thinking as he looked over the different bows and ribbons. Wondering which one he should grab. Before shrugging and just grabbing some whites ribbon. Humming happily while walking around the shop. Looking for a gift for his big brother.

Earlier that day Dream told him that he was going to make a present for their big brother. He couldn't wait to see what Dream was going to make. Smiling as he looked over the different books for sale. Looking over the binders to see if he could find something on space.

"Hmmm... um Mrs. Bonbon. Do you have anything that has to do with space or the night sky?" He questioned out of curiosity. Walking up to the counter the purple skeleton looked up at the purple bunny.

Bonbon hummed in thought. Taking a piece of hay out of her lips. "Hmm... I believe there might be something. My sister managed to salvage some stuff from the dump. They managed to survive the trip to the underground with little to no damage. You can find one of then right by the puzzles." She smiled at the thought.

Nightmare raised a brow when he heard that word. "Um... Dump..? Isn't that a place where trash is thrown out?" He looked at her in confusion.

"Oh well yes technically that is a dump. But down here the dump holds nothing but a bunch of human trash. The rivers in Waterfall go on for miles until it goes down into the abyss. We don't know where those rivers start or end, since no monster can swim up the currents. Human trash manages to go through those multiple rivers and land in one of the lower levels of Waterfall. The lowest area before the abyss,"
