"Its about time you came back. It's been 45 minutes..!" Ink scoffed.

Dream and Cross just laughed at each other. Ink was beond irrateted at this point.

"Get over here and finish healing." Ink sighed, "I have to go check on PaperJam anyway." Ink opened a portal with his paintbrush and hopped through.

Dream and Cross walked over to to the others. Dust was finally awake and moving around. He was fine, Ink had healed all of his wounds, and he didnt feel any pain anymore. Swapfell only needed a little more HP healed, and he still had some scratches, but nothing serious.

"Hey Dream... I uh.. I dunno how to heal.." Cross mumbled.

"Oh, that's fine! I can cover it." Dream replied, already starting.

"Hey, fluffy oreo, can ya help me out over here a bit?" Ink asked, hoping down from an inky portal, his paint brush following soon after.

"FLUFFY OREO?! WHO THE HELL YOU CALLING AN OREO, SQUID? YOU LOOK LIKE A BAG OF DAMN SKITTLES." Cross nearly screamed the words, and they echoed through the mansion.

"Jeez, sorry C." Ink backed up a bit from where he had landed away from Cross.

"Heh... you still look like an emo cow." Ink laughed, and, Dream couldn't help but giggle at the joke.

"You guys suck." Cross grunted, "What did you need help with anyway?"

"Oh, yeah, so uh..." Ink didn't exactly know how to bring it up.

"So.. you are being possessed by your Chara, right..?" Cross flinched a little before replying with,

"Y-Yeah..?"

"Well, Jammy suprisingly brought us a really smart idea. How about instead of you fighting, you should let Chara, since she is stronger than you." Ink suggested.

"W-Well... C-C-Chara is k-kinda... uh... s-she doesn't like y-you guys still... uh.. she will t-take any opportunity to her a-advantage." Cross studdered, he hated even mentioning her in a sentence.

"You couldn't even beat her in your last battle with her.. she almost.. k-killed you and D-Dream.... but..." Cross exhaled a large sigh from his non-existant lungs, "I'll talk to her about it.."

Dream looked between the two awkward skeletons, and tried to lighten the mood. "Chocolate, anyone??"

Cross turned his head toward Dream so fast, Dream thought he might have actually broke his neck...

But Dream knew he was just fine after Cross had bounced on top of him.

"Give me the damn chocolate, Dream." Cross' smile was huge and his red eye was glowing more than usual.

"Nuh-uh-uh..! You have to say sorry for cussing in my face like that." Dream sarcastically noted, making his voice go high pitched and baby-like. Cross pouted.

"Fine. I'm sorry..." Cross crossed his arms and looked away. "But you still owe me a chocolate bar. (>//-c//<)"

Dream simply laughed and got a chocolate bar for Ink, Cross, and himself, but, he decided to have a little fun with Cross, and got three extra chocolates.

He handed one to Cross.

"Thanks!!" He mumbled under his already stuffed mouth. He grinned as he walked over to Ink.

"And two for you and me, for being so good!" Dream cheered, being loud enough to make sure Cross and Chara could hear.

"Hey!! NOT FAIR!! I WAS GOOD TOO!!" Cross yelled at them.

Ink quickly caught onto what was happening, and he played along.

"Where you, now? And what was that you said earlier? Was that a, 'damn' I heard?"

"Ink! You just said damn too!" Dream snatched his chocolate.

"You too!!" Cross yelled, snatching Dream's extra chocolate.

They all just started at each other silently. Not an awkward stare, but a genuine, comforting silence, before breaking into a laughter.

"Its fine, Cross. I brought two for you too." Dream laughed, tossing one over to him. Cross smiled, taking his time on this one instead of shoving it down his throat like he usually does.

~....Time Passed Because of your Lazy Ass Author....~

After we finished moving Swapfell to his guest room, we decided to set our separate ways, Ink and Dream went back to Dream's house, and Cross went back to the empty abyss he called a home.

Every time Cross went back, he had a disappointed look on his face. One that made Dream's soul droop. He really felt bad for Cross, for his surcumstances and troubles, as well as his home. Maybe he could change that...

It's short.

Make fun of me all you want, but school slows me down. ;-;

Welp, I hope you enjoyed this. I really want some chapters to be really depressing, and some to be light and fluffy, aka this one.

The next chapter I'm planning on being (emphasis on PLANNING) depressing. I'm not very good at depressive writing, only feeling depressed. :,)

Well, baii!!
