Everyone had crowded into the bus and sat in their seats. Currently, Blue was driving while Nightmare was the navigator.

"Why can't we use a GPS again?" Muttered Nightmare.

"According to Red, it 'adds to the experience,' whatever that means," said Error.

"I know, that was rhetorical," huffed Nightmare. Nightmare squinted at the map before saying, "Take a left at the interstate."

"Got it!" Said Blue.

"Let's play I Spy!" Killer gleefully said.

"Isn't that a kids game?" Said Dust.

"Ooo! I'll start!" Exclaimed Blue.

"Really? We're really doing this? Alright, y'know what, go for it." Said Dust after a moment.

"I spy with my little eye... something green!" Said Blue.

"The street sign?" Asked Dream.

"Yes!" Said Blue, "Your turn now."

"Oh, um, something black?" Said Dream.

"Error's bones?" Asked Stretch.

"No," said Dream.

"Nightmare's rad goop?" Asked Fresh.

"No," Dream responded with a laugh.

"Killer's hate?" Asked Error.

"Yeah, you go now," said Dream.

"Veo veo," said Error.

"Huh?" Said Dust.

"Qué ves?" Answered Blue from up front where he was driving.

"Una cosa amarillo," said Error.

"What are they saying?" Asked Killer.

"It's Spanish," Nightmare informed before looking at the map and saying, "Take a right up here."

"Oh, um, is it my cape?" Asked Dream.

"Sí," answered Error.

"Well, I see... um, something pink!" Dream said.

"Where is there pink in here?" Asked Stretch.

"Mine or Horror's slippers," said Dust.

"Nope," Dream said with a cheeky smile.

"What else?" Mumbled Killer.

"Well, Error isn't wearing his pink feather boa right now, so that's not it..." said Ink.

"Really? Out of everything you could remember, that's what you can remember? Not, I don't know, not to drink bleach?" Asked Error.

"Yeah... I remember when me and Dream caught you trying to do that after seeing something on the internet," commented Blue.

"It was only one time," defended Ink.

"Twice, it happened twice, and I'm still not sure why you tried to do," Dream said tiredly.

"Well... bleach gets things clean, right? So I wanted to clean my insides," said Ink.

"That's not how that works, idiot," Dust said.

"Yo, weren't we playing a rad game of I Spy?" Asked Fresh.

"Yeah! So what's pink?" Said Ink excitedly.

"Can you be quiet? You're making it hard to focus on the map," snapped Nightmare. Everyone quieted down.





"Can we get snacks now?" Asked Horror.

"Right... I promised you we'd get snacks. Blue, pull over at the next gas station." Nightmare said.

"'Kay," said Blue.

They parked and everyone excited the bus.

"You can all get two snacks and a drink, but that's it." Nightmare instructed. Everyone quickly entered the store and began looking around.

Dust and Horror looked over a row containing several packs of jerky.

'Should I get plain or spicy?' Dust thought, looking at the packages in his hands.

'Which has the most in it?' Horror thought as he looked over the packages.


Ink quickly grabbed a thing of plain skittles and some wild berry mix skittles before wandering over to the fridges with the drinks.

'What flavor?' He thought looking at the various colorful bottles. Dream walked over and grabbed a lemonade before walking off.

"Heya broski," Fresh greeted as he popped up.

"Fresh! What should I get? There's so many options!" Ink exclaimed. The two began looking over all the options together.



Killer eagerly grabbed a thing of Mike & Ikes and a thing of M&Ms.

"Hey Dream, what are you getting?" He asked when he saw the other nearby.

"I'm looking to see if they have lemonheads, I can never seem to find any," answered Dream as he looked over the shelf.

"You mean those?" Killer asked, pointing to a box of yellow candy.

"YES! FINALLY!" Dream exclaimed as he grabbed a box.

'Geez, he must really like that candy,' thought Killer.





Nightmare grabbed himself a frozen coffee, a thing of Reese's peanut butter cups, and a pack of caramels. After a moment, he also grabbed a thing of headache medication that he had a feeling he would need during this trip.

"Does everyone have what they want?" He asked.

"Yes," everyone answered.

"Then get your butts to the check out and let's go." Nightmare ordered.

'$97 for snacks?!' Nightmare thought outraged but paid anyway. Then, everyone took their snacks and loaded themselves back into the bus.

A/N: the Spanish I spy I learned in my Spanish class and the lemonhead thing is a reference to me loving lemonhead candies but never being able to find them.
