It's been a few days since Nightmare started helping Night with magic, even training every day he still couldn't do anything.

"Night give up, it's been days and nothing has happened." Nightmare said with weariness in his voice.

"Just one more time, I know I'll make it." Night said, raising his hands trying to summon some attack.

"How many times has he said that?" Nightmare asked looking at Error.

"54 times, just by what I've counted." Error said looking back at him. "How long are you going to play patient? It really is a miracle you haven't exploded yet!"

"I have to control myself to make him trust me, which is what Killer is for." He said, looking back at Night.

Night continued until he dropped to his knees in the grass. Nightmare walked towards him.

"You better get some rest, you tried too hard today." He said helping Night up.

"Right..." Night said.

Nightmare teleported to his room, putting Night on his bed.

"When you make it look so easy, why can't I?" he said looking at Nightmare.

"I don't know, Night, but I know someone who might know why." Nightmare said, looking back at him.

"Uh... Okay." He said, Nightmare headed towards the door.

"I'll be back in a few hours until then get some rest." he said, leaving without waiting for Night's answer.

Night gave a light sigh, closing his eyes, he laid his back against the soft bed.

Opening his eyes again he found himself under the tree of feelings which was now surrounded by an emerald green lawn much taller than usual.

'Is this another dream?' Night wondered looking around.

He heard small sobs coming from behind the tree, approaching slowly he found a small skeleton wailing for something.

"Uh... are you okay?" Night asked approaching.

The skeleton turned quickly towards him, looking frantically at Night.

"Brother!" The skeleton said jumping towards Night.

"Dream? Is that you?" he asked giving him a confused look.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" Dream said, releasing his brother.

"It's just that you look different." Night said looking Dream up and down.

"Yes, I changed my look. You look different too." joked Dream referring to Night's clothes.

"Oh! This? No, no, I haven't changed it's just that I ended up dirtying my clothes so Nightmare gave me these for now." he explained, Dream gave his brother a confused look.

"Have you met another Nightmare? What did he look like?" Dream asked.

"He looks like a normal skeleton only with some sort of black goo all over his body." Night said.
