3rd Person POV:

On the breezy field near Nightmare's castle, stood a memorial statue of the Three Stars, who sacrificed their lives for the whole multiverse. It has been 10 years since the 'incident' occured. Nightmare, the Guardian of both Positive and Negative Emotions, can remember almost every detail that happened on that day.

He remembered the Three Stars walking into the sunset, slowly dusting but still kept their positive attitude, even when they knew their time has come, they still left with a smile.
And ever since that day, a big celebration was thrown every year, in memory of the Three Stars. People from all over the multiverse would come to visit and celebrate with them. The celebration was called "Rising Stars", a title that reminded them of the Three Stars' final words.

It was early in the morning, each year, before the celebration, Nightmare would go down and sit beside the statue that resembles his brother, Dream.
Sitting there made him remember the time he trapped his own brother in stone for hundreds of years, only this time, it was permanent.
Up to this day, Nightmare still has guilt from what he did to his brother a long time ago. Even if his brother forgave him, he never full filled the promise he made for him. He promised that they we're going to be together again, but Fate had other plans and decided that it was never meant to be.

He sat quietly, watching the grass sway with the wind. He began talking to the statue, in hopes that his brother would hear him, but we all know he's long gone. He murmured something.

Nightmare: Hey little bro, how've you been?... I guess it has been a long time huh? 10 years... 10 years of being dead, I hope you and your friends are doing okay on the other side. I've been thinking a lot about you lately. I really miss you Dream, I wish we had more time together...

Nightmare sat there for a while until the morning sun started to shine on the statue. He rose up and waved goodbye to the statue.
He went back to his castle, it has been renovated to be less darker and more welcoming while still making it a bit edgy.
He sat on his throne, made of fine wood and waited for his morning duties.

~Time Skip to Afternoon~

Everyone was busy preparing for the celebration. Nightmare was running errands with Killer following and helping him out.
Dust was visiting the original Underswap AU for US!Chara to take a trip in memory lane, since Dust absorbed their soul.
Error was helping out by putting strings and decorations. Template was using his pen to create decors, while he was creating, he kept glancing over at the statue that resembles Ink, the original protector of the multiverse.

Template could remember the last thing Ink said to him before he died.

"Keep creating! And annoy Error for me, will ya?"

Those words echoed back into his mind. Okay, he can admit those words were kinda funny for a last sentence. He let out a small laugh and continued working.

~Time Skip to Celebration~

It was nearly dusk, everyone gathered around the statues and waited for twilight to come. Both the sunrise and sunset were extremely beautiful on that spot, especially when twilight was about to come out.
Nightmare stood up along with Template and Error. He called everyone's attention, and soon silence filled the air, all eyes were on the three of them. Nightmare spoke.

Nightmare: As you may know, It has been an entire decade since the tragic demise of our Three Stars. They were heroes of our multiverse. Sure, they killed a lot of people during the 'incident', but thanks to them, our whole multiverse was saved from Hate and Destruction. So, in memory of the Three Stars, we hold this grand celebration every year, on this particular day they all died together.Thank you all for joining us, I'm sure all three of them are happy on the other side! We're glad the multiverse is in complete balance and harmony!

Nightmare stopped talking and Template spoke up.

Template: Now it's time to party!

The crowd cheered and the party started.
Balloons flew towards the endless sky, some were yellow, blue, white, violet and red. Everyone partied like there was no tomorrow.

Fell and Classic were talking about something near the buffet. Geno was sitting on a tree while Reaper keeps trying to flirt with him, of course Geno punches him occasionally when he flirts.

Killer and Nightmare were staring at the statue, Killer could remember that time he was stabbed. He could sometimes feel that pain from time to time. Nightmare put a hand on his shoulder and said that it was going to be fine. Killer then nodded and went off to the buffet to eat.

Dust was busy admiring Blue's Statue. US!Chara kept talking more and more about him, eventually, Dust grew an interest on him and wanted to ask more about him.

Template brought in Pale. Error was slightly confused and sort of mistaken him for the real Ink. Pale shrugged it off until Template gave him a small jar filled with glowing orbs. Those orbs are AUs, Pale drank them and he had emotions again. This made Error a bit surprised.

Cross was talking to Dimen, he asked what it was like to travel a different Multiverse. Dimen answered by saying that most of them had shipping and kept showing Cross about the relationship between him and Dream. Then Epic came and saw this then said.

Epic: Aww bruh! U should have made out with Dream when you had the chance! At least you wouldn't be lonely!

Cross: Come on dude, we both know Dream is dead.

Epic: Yeah but still bruh...

Cross then shrugged and went off to look at the statue. After that conversation, he kept looking at Dream's statue and thought to himself for a while.

"What if it did happen?"

He then went to the buffet and ate some chocolate cake, his mind can't seem to stop thinking about Dream and somehow lightly blushes.

~Time Skip to Midnight~

It was already midnight, the party was over. Some stayed behind to help clean up the party, while others went back to their AUs.
After the cleanup, everyone went back to their homes and slept.

In the middle of the forest at night, a round portal opened and came out an unconscious skeleton, he lied on the grass as the cold breeze of the night blew. He felt a bit cold, but he didn't wake up at all.
