Third POV:

It was morning, Dimen and Nightmare were up earlier than everyone else. TK was the third one to wake up, the three ate their big breakfast and went to the living room. Dimen grabbed his brown satchel before going to the living room.

TK started to cast his time portal, his left eye glew and turned into a clock. His hands casted circular clocks, and in front of them, opened a time portal.
TK told them that it was now okay to enter. Nightmare and Dimen came first, TK went last and closed the portal.
They were swirling through the streams of time, far through hundreds of years ago. Back before Dreamtale's incident.

They arrived safely near the forest of Dreamtale. Nightmare observed the area and recognized it all. Dimen then gave him the amulet and told him that it would control his corruption.
Nightmare nodded and placed it inside his shirt. He also went back to his passive form, just to avoid anymore suspicion.

He then walked through the forest with the others, they saw a few villagers passed by. Some avoided Nightmare, others would throw rocks at him. Nightmare's corruption would start to flow again, but the amulet seems to cut off his corruption, like it cancels dark magic.

They were at the edge of the forest, they could see the tree of feelings from a distant. Memories flooded back to Nightmare, it pained him to see the tree again. He covered his head and ducked. Dimen started to comfort him.

Dimen: Hey Nightmare... It's fine, you don't have to go there if you don't want to...

TK: Yeah Unclemare, you don't have to go too far...

They're right, Nightmare could just cast these memories away and let the past be. But No, guilt still haunts him up to this very day, he had to do something to finally put these bad memories at rest. He had to make peace with his past, or it will weigh on him for eternity.

He stood up and stopped crying, he then looked back at the Tree.
He saw Past Dream leave his brother alone at the tree. His past self looked like he sensed something. He looked towards the direction they were at, and went near. The others became alert, so they all hid up in the trees.

Past Nightmare looked around and tried to find the source of the negative emotions. He called out, but nobody came. So he just shrugged it off and ran back to the tree.

Nightmare and the others were relieved that he was gone. Nightmare had a small idea on how he was going to get the apple, he twisted the amulet and disguised himself as his brother, Dream.
But his aura wasn't positive, it might cause suspicion towards his past self. But he was almost all out of options, he had to do it to get closer to the tree.

So he went towards the tree, Past Nightmare stood up as he saw Dream's Aura having so much negativity. He needed to comfort him, Dream said he was fine. He had a concerned look as he saw Dream reach for a golden apple.
The he heard someone gasp in shock, Dream turned around to see who it was, it was the real Past Dream.
Past Nightmare was confused as hell. But when he took a look at their auras, he quickly found the real Dream and pointed at the imposter. The other Dream put out an amulet and twisted it, he transformed back to his original self as Present Nightmare. The past brothers were shocked. Present Nightmare smirked.

Nightmare: Hi, past me...

Past Nightmare: huh? Are you me from the future?

Nightmare: Yep.

Nightmare looked at Dream, he was almost about to cry. He quickly hugged him and Dream was confused, but he still comforted him.

Nightmare: Sorry I j-just... Missed him...

Past Nightmare: W-what???... Wh-where's your D-Dream?!

Nightmare: . . . Gone. . .

Past Nightmare: Why, what happened?!

Nightmare didn't respond. It made Past Nightmare tear up and cry while hugging Past Dream.

Past Nightmare: Y-y-you c-can't d-die D-Dream. H-he's l-lying!

Nightmare: Whether you believe me or not, I can bring him back.

Past Nightmare: H-how?...

Nightmare: I just need a golden apple.

Past Nightmare became a bit suspicious. He stepped in front of his future self, having a cautious and serious look on his face.

Past Nightmare: ... Is this a joke? Or are you just trying to make us give you a golden apple?!

Nightmare: If you don't want your brother to die in the future, might as well give one to me!

Nightmare became angrier by the second, the amulet glew violently, trying to maintain his corruption. He then breath deeply and relaxed himself. The amulet slowly glew, calming his corruption.

Past Dream went near and gave him the apple, Nightmare had a few flashbacks from the apple incident, so he slowly took the apple from him. Dimen told him that the amulet will maintain his corruption, it also means he can touch the golden apple without turning it black. Nightmare smiled and hugged Past Dream one more time.

Nightmare: I'm sorry, for everything I ever did to you. If this doesn't work, I might as well apologize when I have the chance.

Past Dream: Don't worry, I forgive you. Brother.

Nightmare: I promise we'll be together again.

Past Dream: I believe in you.

Nightmare smiled and left towards the forest, his eyes had a few escaped tears. He saw TK and Dimen hiding beside the trees, TK then opened the Time Portal and they all went back to the Present.

Everyone was still asleep, it turns out TK sent them back only a few seconds after they left. TK looked deprived, so he went to his room and passed out on his bed. Dimen then told Nightmare that he needs to be in his room, so he went.

Nightmare was on the couch, he still has the amulet to keep him from corrupting the apple. He contemplated on the apple for a few minutes, memories flashed before his eyes. He shedded a small tear from his eye and he wiped it off.

Nightmare: ... I know you're not actually my brother, but you remind me of him... It's just, I hurt you so many times. I never had any time to say sorry at all. I want to apologize to you, and I want to set everything straight. We'll be together again, that's a promise... *sigh* I'm talking to an apple...

In Dimen's room, he was sitting on his bed. The book on the nightstand flew and messaged Dimen.

"Well well well! Whacha got there?"

Dimen pulled out something from his brown satchel. It was a golden apple, he stole from the tree.

"Ooh! Thank you Dimen! Now the story can proceed exactly as planned!"

Dimen: Heh, like I said before, I'm just doing my job.

He put it back in his bag and went out.
