"Dream, why are we in UnderFell? I've read and reread the list like 9 times and there's nothing telling us to come here." Cross said, trying to keep up with Dream.

"Fell worked for Nightmare in the past, so I assume they still have contact." Dream said, walking quickly with a serious expression.

They continued until they reached Grillby's.

"Why…do you think he…will be here…?" Cross asked breathlessly, kneeling in the soft, cold snow.

"This is the only place he has to avoid his brother and run away from work." Dream explained, returning to a peaceful expression.

Dream waited for Cross to recover and then they entered. apparently everything was normal, monsters sitting in groups or alone and Grillby was at the back of the bar.

Dream looked from corner to corner when he recognized Fell in the dimly lit corner of the bar. Dream pulled Cross by the handkerchief, choking him and making him stagger.

Fell had his head buried in the table with several bottles of mustard around him.

"Fell! I need to talk to you!" Dream exclaimed, raising his voice a little, startling Fell and drawing the attention of the monsters around him.

"I don't have any money, so go away!" Fell said, in his usual husky voice.

"No, I want to talk about Nightmare! I'm under the impression he needs help but I don't know how to find him." Dream said with concern in his voice.

"Sorry friend, but your trip was in vain, I haven't seen him for 3 years."

"It's been 3 weeks since we saw you and them attacking an AU." Cross said dryly.

"3 weeks, month, years, whatever! I just haven't had contact with him since then!" he exclaimed angrily.

"I understand, but can't you at least tell me where his hiding place is?" Dream asked.

"Even if I wanted to, no. We made a deal or whatever, that not telling where his hideout is, he leaves my AU alone."

"...Thank you for your help." he thanked in a monotone, heading towards the exit.

"Damn! Fell was the only one who would help us find Nightmare's hiding place." Dream said frustrated walking around aimlessly.

"Well, he'd charge us later," Cross muttered, "but what do we do now?" he said, reverting to his normal tone.

"Let's go in the order that's on the list and hope it works." He said with a sigh.

Night was amazed, he had never seen buildings so tall, nor so many stores with flashy lights.

"Cool, isn't it?" killer said approaching Night.

"Yes!" he replied, turning his gaze to Killer. "But, what is this place? And what are we here to do?"

"It's just a modern AU where monsters and humans get along, or something." Dust said, fiddling with his cell phone.
