I got this fortune from Chinese takeout. This is the thing that inspired this oneshot/crappost.

The campfire crackled as the sun slowly set above four of our favorite's skeleton's campout. Dream and Killer we're enjoying each other's company and eating takeout Chinese food.
Nightmare and Cross were no where to be found.
Killer tossed aside his fortune cookie wrapper and read aloud,"My fortune says: Stop searching forever, happiness is right next to you."
He leaned on Dream's shoulder,"I guess that's correct, what's your's, Dreamy?" Dream opened his fortune and read it to himself.
He snorted and asked,"Are you slower than me?" Killer tilted his head to the side,"I think, why?"
Dream snickered as he read his fortune aloud,"You don't have have to be faster than the bear, just faster than the slowest guy running from it."
Killer giggled,"Are you suggesting that you're ok with sacrificing me to a bear?"
"Yes, yes I am."
They both snuggled up to one another and watched the flames, not even acknowledging the disappearance of two of their companions.
Meanwhile, Cross and Nightmare decided to go exploring.
They ended up in some sort of cave and were about to go inside when Nightmare stopped Cross.
"There's bears in there." He whispered, "Two cubs and their mom. Asleep." Cross's eyes widened,"We need to go back to the campsite then-"
"You chicken? Let's go poke them."
Cross punched Nightmare's arm,"What?!? Are you stupid?!? Poke a sleeping bear?!?"
"Oh c'mon, we'll poke a cub, they can't do much."
Nightmare began to walk into the cave. Cross tugged on one of his tentacles and tried to drag him out, but ended up being dragged inside anyways.
Cross clung to Nightmare's arm,"You have the most awful ideas." He whispered. Nightmare didn't respond as he carefully stuck out one of his tentacles, and tapped a cub on the nose.
"Now let's go ou-"
He began to say before the cub yelped, alerting the mama bear. Nightmare and Cross froze and the bear slowly got up and stared the two skeletons down.
"Nightmare......"
Cross said.
"Don't. Move. A. Muscle."
But did Nightmare listen?
Of course not.
Instead he scooped Cross up and sprinted out of the cave.
The bear roared and started sprinting after them.
Their screams of panic should've alerted Dream and Killer, but they didn't hear them. Not until they ran past them screaming about an angry bear.
"Nightmare, what did you do this t-" Dream asked before screeching in surprise and falling out of his chair. He scrambled to his feet as a bear bounded from the woods and paused as it stared at Dream and Killer.
