   Nightmare leaned down to Dream's level, their faces inches apart as they both had their inner conflict. They moved their gazes to eachother's mouths. So close, that they practically didn't need to do anything more for everyone in the room to understand what they wanted. They may as well had kissed, it would hardly make a difference to what everyone saw in the middle of the ball room.

   "DON'T KISS HIM!- AH!" A voice yelled at both of them followed by a yelp, not coming from the crowd, but from the ceiling.
   The sound of yelling and falling came from above and very quickly hit the tile ground infront of Nightmare and Dream as they quickly stepped back from the yelling pile of idiots.

   "Fuck! Do you think of anything before doing it!?" Horror yelled at Dust who was the one who yelled at the two in the first place.
   "Look who's talking!" Dust shot back as he pushed Killer off of him. The three boys sat on the ground rubbing their poor bones that fell uncomfortably on the hard ground.
   Nightmare glared at them and growled in anger.
   Nightmare however, was the least I their problems as the rest of the room started to process exactly what fell from the ceiling.

   Most started panicing and scurrying away as the room erupted with yelling and terrified screaming. Others summoned their attacks, ready to throw at the three skeletons at the first move they made.
   Suddenly, Nightmare, Dust, Horror, and Killer were very aware of the danger they got themselves into being completely surrounded in a room full of powerful fighters, humans and monsters alike.
   Nightmare's tentacles whipped out from behind his cape and blocked a number of attacks that came flying at the three idiots.

   Things quickly went to chaos after Nightmare switched to his corrupt form. More attacks came flying at all four of them as Dust, Killer, and Horror were all sitting ducks in their position. Even Nightmare was having troubles as they were completely surrounded and most of the crowd were trying to get Dream away from Nightmare.
   Dream hid behind Nightmare's back acting as a living shield for Nightmare as he focused on protecting his team with his tentacles in front of him.

   "Dream!" They called to him and reached out for their friend. Dream ignored them, even going as far to step back from them as they tried to pull him away from Nightmare.
   They couldn't understand what was wrong with Dream. Especially after watching the entire show with the dancing and the love eyes. What the hell was wrong with Dream?!
   Blueberry, Ink, and, Outer were completely conflicted as to who they should fight, or even what they should do in this situation.
   Turn on their friends? Or turn on Dream?

   Everything was moving a hundred miles a second, and poor Frisk's party was slowly turning into a war zone that Nightmare's team couldn't win. Especially since they couldn't kill anyone.
   "What do we do!?" Killer asked Nightmare in desperation as the conflict heated up and they were getting closed in on by every second as they did nothing but defend. All three looked to Nightmare as they always did.

   Dream could feel the fear and worry in Nightmare. He didn't have an answer for Killer.
   "Go! Leave!" Dream yelled to Nightmare.
   "Dream!?" Nightmare protested,
   "They'll think you kidnapped me if you take me with you! GO!" Dream was the one ordering Nightmare this time. Dream summoned his bow in his hand and shot the stained glass windows all along the walls, hitting them each in the perfect spot that caused them to shatter and rain on everyone near them without seriously injuring anyone. Dream will owe Frisk a lot of money to replace those windows.

   The shock of Dream fighting back against them as well as the falling glass gave Nightmare enough time to pick up his team and teleport everyone out of Underkeep, leaving Dream behind to clean up.
