To Fix A Multiverse

Chapter 32

After a few minutes, a portal opened where Dream was and Nightmare jumped through. He looked around the new place nervously and cautiously.

Dream smiled at Nightmare brightly.

"Hi, brother!" He greeted happily.

Nightmare spotted Dream and waved with a nod. "Hello Dream."

He looked around the space of the bookstore. "So this is the place?"

Dream smiled brightly.

"Yeah. It's super amazing! I think they got a new shipment yesterday!" He explained excitedly.

"Really?" Nightmare grinned at Dream. He noticed how the shelves were filled to the brim with new books. The smell of books was everywhere and it calmed him. But that was not the only thing he noticed.

"Well, what's your favorite genre and we'll start there." Nightmare said, ignoring how the people avoided going near him. Hopefully Dream didn't notice. It would easier if he didn't notice.

Dream smiled brightly.

"I absolutely love fantasy!" He declared, pointing to where the fantasy books were. He gasped when he saw how many there were, his eye lights glowing brightly.

Nightmare nodded at him. "Then let's start there."

Dream's smile fell a bit when he noticed that people were staring at them.

"Shoo." He called.

They flinched and began to scatter away from them.

Nightmare turned at Dream with a raised brow. "Really Dream. You couldn't just ignore them?"

"Nope!" Dream replied, his smile back. He would never let anyone annoy his twin on his watch.

Nightmare frowned before looking down. "You should just ignore them. They're not worth causing chaos for." 'especially if it meant tainting your name brother.' he finished in his head.

"It's okay. I do that pretty often anyways with my clumsiness and all." Dream explained.

"You're not that clumsy." Nightmare rolled his eye as he walked away to the fantasy section.

Dream quickly walked after him.

"Oh yeah? I managed to knock over three rows of shelves in another bookstore." He explained.

"Pff!" Nightmare snickered at Dream as he walked. "Seriously?!"

"Yup. I tripped over a chair that was randomly placed there and ran into a bookshelf, knocking it over. It fell and caused a domino effect." Dream explained.

Nightmare covered his mouth and laughed softly, closing his eye with mirth. "Only you, Dream. So how did everyone react?"

Dream chuckled softly.

"There was a lot of screaming and when I tried to pick everything up I tripped again and laid on top of a pile of books in shame." He explained.

"I managed to help them clean everything up in the end and had to buy every broken book so now I got eight big boxes full of destroyed books at home."

Nightmare shook his skull at his brother's misfortune. He looked up at the ceiling in fond exasperation as he walked. "Oh stars. You better not make me pay for your mistakes if it happens again."

Dream chuckled.

"I would never." He promised with a smile.

Nightmare nodded in satisfaction. "Good."
