Chap 11~ Space Gala Party (Part Two)- Courtyard Spin

(YN) ran full speed to the courtyard, Trina and The Team, along with her parents were on her trail. (YN) opened the back porch door and ran to the bushes, as she neared, she saw the black, skeleblob that is Nightmare.

"What are you doing here?" You asked, hatred laced in your voice. Nightmare walked closer to you, stepping into the soft light the moon cast. His flaring blue eye narrowed, ever so slightly at you. "You know full well, my princess." Her replied, a smug expression on his face. "We're not a thing Nightmare. Not anymore." Your hand gripped your wand tighter. "I like to still think we are." He said, hands in his hoodie pockets. "*sigh* I'll ask again. Why. Are. You. Here?" You asked through gritted teeth. Nightmare is honestly so annoying, he wasn't when you two were a thing, but he definitely is now. He teleports and clings to your leg, at this point everyone was in the doorway looking at the scene. "TAKE ME BACK, PLEHEHEHEAS! I'll do anything!" He yelled desperately. Desperate? Sure he would try and win you over again by giving you a flower, or some chocolate. But clinging to your leg like a child was completely new. You crossed your arms and look the other way, pouting. "No Nightmare, get over it." You slipped your leg out from his grip and walked to the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. "Do you wanna know why, we broke up?" Nightmare stood next to you and nodded, too nervous to verbally respond. "I overheard what og!Dust and og!Killer wanted, they wanted for you to use me to get you a bigger army, so, I broke up with you and went back to my parents. I knew at that point that it was too dangerous there for me and... if anything were to happen to me, you would be blamed. Ink can easily take you out of the multiverse just as easily as he put you in. Then, we moved here and good thing I did, tryING TO ENSLAVE THIS RANDOME UNIVERSE WAHT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!? YOU COULDVE TAKEN ANY OTHER AU IN THIS DAMN MULTIVERSE BUT YOU PICKED THIS ONE! WHY NOT VAMPIRE VERSE, OR AN UNKNOWN UNIVERSE LIKE DAFTTALE OR TRICKSTERTALE, WHY NOT JUST CHALLENGE THE STAR SANSES TO A FRIENDLY BATTLE!" You were enraged at this point, Nightmare looked at you with a shocked and unreadable expression. "I-I don't know... I guess, it was the easiest to target due to the lack of strong characters or ones that know about magic. It also had a weaker fan-barrier, sure there are a lot of fans, but not as much as PJ's Daycare, or Underlust. I guess it was evil instinct." Nightmare replied truthfully. You sniffed a little, you weren't crying, it was just freezing cold out here like holy shit November... wait... snow, in November? You shivered a little and sneezed. "Dawww, I just realized. You broke up with me because you care about me!" Nightmare cooed, pinching your cheek. You slapped his arm away, then walked back to the porch. Everyone realized this and ran to the livingroom. Nightmare followed after. "Come on, just admit it. You still love me.~" Nightmare was teasing you now. "No. I only care about the balance of the multiverse. Can't have any AU falling over from some weird... thingy that just so happened to be centered around you." You entered the living room, Nightmare followed in after you. He saw everyone and whispered to you. "Uh... did I interrupt something?" Nightmare asked. "Yeah, you interrupt mY FUCKING PARTY YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" You yelled, Nightmare flinched back a little, then his face changed to one of remembrance. "Oh right, I got this for you. I knew it was your 16 birthday so... here." Nightmare handed you a rectangular shaped box along with a square box, both neatly wrapped in black wrapping paper with a royal blue ribbon tied around it. "Don't open it until your alone, okay?" "Why do I have a bad feeling about this." "You shouldn't, it's just a simple present. Any way, I'll be off, happy birthday princess." Nightmare walked through the portal he made and it closed. Everyone looked over at you in confusion, and monotonous expression. "Well that was pretty anti-climactic. I kinda thought there was gonna be a fight." You said. "I really hoped not." Your mother replied. There was an awkward silence, that was then washed away when Palette spoke up. "Well... there wasn't one, and it's only been, like, half an hour. Let's go back to the party." Everyone nodded in agreement and talked on their way back to the Gala hall.

There was now a slow dance, some weren't dancing but few were. Mr.Ink and Coach Error were dancing, Mr.Dream tried asking Miss.EK but he stuttered the entire time. Miss.EK was all like 'screw it.' and intertwined her left into Mr.Dreams right. The latter blushed yellow but didn't have time to respond as Miss.EK kissed him on his... teeth?... lips?... teeth. And now they were having a cute cuddle and smooch session at a table. Alphys tried asking Undyne but the fish beat her to it, Undyne took her hand and marched over to the dance floor, then picked up Alphys (cuz she's short) and starts, kinda dancing??? Ah... love. It's adorable.

The Party has ended, you apologized to everyone about the presence of Nightmare, but they didn't care and they had a great time.

You sat on your bed looking at the present Nightmare gave you, contemplating on wether you should open it or not. Welp, curiosity killed the cat, and satisfaction brought it back. You grabbed his present and opened the square first. Inside was a note, written to you, from him.

Look at the last two pages. There's something you should see. If need be, I will help you to take down my team. Anything for my princess.~

Lovingly Yours- Nightmare

Ps. I miss you! Take me back please.

You rolled your eyes and opened the rectangular part next. Inside was... a sketch pad? He never got you a sketchpad. Unless he wanted to be deleted by Error. You followed the instructions on the note went to the last two pages and saw... plans? These were his plans for the attack at the high school! But... why? You saw another note underneath the visual aid. "I don't care... I'm gonna help you now. Wether the guys like it or not." The note said. You gave a ghost of a smile and shut the sketchpad, placing it into your book bag to bring it to the meeting tomorrow. You turned off your lamp and went to sleep.

Maybe Nightmare Wants to Turn Over a New Leaf

Whu doesn't he just do it? No ones stopping him.... RIGHT?
