Error's P.O.V. • (HaAaA-)

We had been waiting for Nightmare in the throne room for a while now.

It's strange that Nightmare isn't here yet, when he's usually the first one before all of us to arrive and would wait for us, sitting on his throne, with a pissed expression on his face.

But he isn't this time. Wonder where he is and what's gotten him late ?

Cross was eating chocolate and talking with Dust, who arrived together with Killer a minute ago. Horror and Killer were throwing knives at each other, snickering every time they'd miss each other's skull by an inch.

Horror had screeched when Killer had almost ended up throwing his knife on the hole in his skull which made all of us laugh.

I, on the other hand, was playing with my blue strings on my fingers to entertain myself to pass the time like the others while waiting for our boss to arrive, because usually me and Nightmare would chat but then again, he still wasn't here.

Then a knife flew by me, cutting one of my blue strings. I groaned irritatingly, and turned to face Killer, who was acting like be wasn't the one that threw the damn knife.

"WaTch iT DuMbAsS." I scolded in my glitchy voice, resulting to Killer laughing awkwardly and Horror laughing his ass off.

I mentally reminded myself to ask Neutral if she can fix my voice later. (I'll show you her picture in the later chapters :3)

Suddenly, we heard the sound of breaking glass come from upstairs which surprised all of us. We looked at each other.

"The hell was that ?!" Dust shrieked. Cross just shrugged and sent back to eating his chocolate.

"Do you think Nightmare is alright?" Killer asked with worry in his voice.

Horror just shrugged. "Bet he is. After all, he's Nightmare Sans. One of the most powerful Sanses in the entire Multiverse." He assured.

But Killer's face still had a worried look on it. I just shrugged. "He'S fInE KiLleR, dOn'T WoRrY aBoUt It." I say looking at him as he nodded, lowering his skull.

Just as I went back to playing with my strings, Nightmare had finally appeared with a nasty grin on his skull.

I turned to Killer and mouthed to him "SeE?" which made him roll his eyes and Dust smirk slightly.

We all stopped what we were doing to pay attention to our boss.

"Alright. You guys know the drill. Let's go." Nightmare said, opening a portal to Outertale and jumped in.

I turned to get a glance on the others who were also jumping in one by one. And I also caught Killer who seemed to be excited.

Excited for what ? Nah don't care though. I was the last one to jump and once we were all in, the portal disappeared behind us, letting us have a clear view of the vast space and floating islands of Outertale.

Monsters were happily floating in space, or either chit chatting to one another.

This AU is a peaceful one. But not today. Look out everybody, here comes the Bad Sanses.

• Killer's P.O.V. •

Nightmare had arrived at last. At first, I was starting to worry on why he hasn't arrived yet.

But seeing him had relieved me because I thought that noise of breaking glass upstairs had something to do with his late appearance.

Wait, why am I so concerned about him all of a sudden...? 'Stop it Killer. You know he'll never like you the way him...' I thought sadly.

You see, I had grown some feelings for the boss for a while now, but knowing Nightmare, he would probably never feel the same way.

That's why I feel sad and depressed ; Yes. I can feel emotions thanks to Color who helped fix my soul a bit, which made Nightmare furious and tried to kill him and why I go visit Outertale every night because Outer always helps me cheer up.

But either way, I don't show to him.

The portal to Outertale had opened which slightly made me excited again at the thought of seeing Outer...again.

Nightmare was the first to jump in, followed by Dust, Horror, Cross, me, and then Error who was the last one to jump.

Once we were all in, the portal had closed behind us as we started into the tranquility and vast of space ; The Outertale AU.

Everything was still the same as last night when I came and left and the scenario of shooting stars made me smile.

The others were also having the same thoughts that relaxed them as well.

It was truly breathtaking, which made me sigh in wonder.

I could almost feel someone's glare directed at me, but I shrugged it off and continued to stare at the sight around us.

Then Nightmare coughed, catching all of our attention including mine.

"Alright gang, we'll split up into pairs."

• Nightmare's P.O.V. • (Again-)

The scenario of this universe was... pretty nice and calm. I like quite and tranquil places, they help me calm and enjoy my surroundings.

And then again, I love silence.

But that's when I noticed it became quite. Too quite...

I turned around to see the other Bad Sanses looking lost while staring at the vast of space above us in awe and wonder.

I rolled my eyes. Then I saw Killer who looked above as well, but unlike the others who were awfully new to seeing this universe, the expression on his face looked like he already saw it.

He sighed, smiling contently. Alright that's it. He's been acting weird lately.

One. He quickly perks up when I mentioned Outertale.

Two. When he notices me or the others caught him in that state, he instantly turns back to being serious like he doesn't want us to know the reason why.

And three. Why do I feel like he already knows this universe ???

I'm getting curious all of a sudden.

I coughed, catching all of their attention including Killer's.

"Alright gang, we'll split up into pairs."


A/N :
Okay I have a very good explanation for updating so slow, and because I'm a Filipino, I'll say it in Tagalog because why not?

Sana all may oras sa pagsusulat ng mga bagong chapter araw-araw basta mayroon din kang klase...
