But the hotel was empty, besides piles of rubble from part of the restaurant being destroyed. She returned to Waterfall to search for him, calling out his name and listening for any form of response. Angel returned to Snowdin and searched every building and snowpoff for him, but she couldn't find him. She screamed out his name again, but nobody came.

She fell on her knees in the snow, as her tears threatened to fall and she said,

"Sans. I'm so sorry, Sans. I remember now... I'm sorry..."

Angel let her tears fall, as she closed her eyes and didn't bother to wipe her tears away.

After she quietly cried, Angel rose from the snow and began heading to where she was trying to go to earlier: the Barrier. She returned to the hotel and used the elevator to reach New Home, the castle town of the Monster kingdom. She went through the kingdom to a hallway that was large and long. There were stained glass windows on the left wall, and pillars that stood in a row near the left and right walls. Angel was walking through the hall as shadows would pass over her each time she walked by a pillar, until she stopped when she saw a glowing purple eye under the darkness of a pillar ahead of her.

"So this was where you were heading to before, right?" He asked, as he stepped out from the pillar's shadow with his eye still glowing purple and his focus solely on her.

"Dust..." Angel said, feeling relief and nervous at the same time.

"What now, Angel? You're going to leave? I'm sure you could pass or destroy the barrier if you wanted to..." Dust said, taking a step forward and adding, "But is that what you want? To forget me?"

Angel inhaled a shaky breath from hearing his words, and then she said, "Dust… I had planned to leave before because the child was stopped, and I didn't have a reason to stay. I figured you wouldn't care because we had a rough start since we met here..."

Dust slowly started walking towards her as she felt compelled to back away slowly.

"I wasn't sure if I could trust you at first, but I started seeing that you weren't so bad, or rather have gone through a lot in your repeating life... as I had in each of mine..." Angel said, as Dust stopped walking as she did.

"I've always felt a longing inside that I couldn't understand. I decided to travel underground to stop the child, but to also see if a new environment would make me feel better, away from everything familiar. But when we shared that kiss, I didn't feel that longing for that moment… but now I don't feel it anymore, especially when I'm with you, lazybones," Angel said with softer eyes and a small smile.

"A-Angelface… you remember," Dust said as the glow of his eye immediately disappeared, and he started walking towards her while his eyes softened.

"Even though my memory wasn't clear, my heart never forgot how much I love you," Angel said with a wider smile, as she walked towards him.

Upon meeting under the light of the stained glass window, Dust and Angel wrapped their arms around each other, gazing into each other's eyes.

"No matter how many timelines passed, I still love you, baby," Dust said, making Angel blush as he gently rubbed her cheek with his thumb.

This time their kiss wasn't interrupted.

Three days later:

-Knock Knock-

Dust heard a heard on his door as he rose up from the couch and put his book down to answer it. He already knew who it was by the sharp knocks, and he opened the door to see Nightmare Sans.

"Ah, my favorite minion, who is actually more sane than most. It's been a while," Nightmare said with his classic evil grin, as Dust let him in.

"It has. For what do I owe this unpleasant visit of yours, boss?" Dust asked with a smirk, as Nightmare glared at him.

"I sent a messenger to tell you about finding a Curtain for me. Did you happen to find one by any chance?" Nightmare asked.

"Maybe. But why would you need one? I thought you liked being single?" Dust asked, placing his hands in his pockets.

"I'm not looking for a companion you dolt! I need a Curtain to help me get into a certain place that I want to rule. Did you find one?" Nightmare asked again, more aggressively.

"Dunno, how about you ask me never, most dark one," Dust said, his smirk widening as he heard footsteps heading towards them.

"You son of- Dust! I will level this house unless you tell me-" Nightmare was cut off.

"What is freaking going on?!" Angel said, as she entered the room with a scowl.

Dust thought she was completely adorable when she was angry like that, and Nightmare was surprised to see her and recognized her as a Curtain.

"Well, well. So you did find one, and a brash one at that," Nightmare said, as he smirked, although Dust's expression was more serious towards him.

"So you're a Curtain, right? Then let me ask you, do you know a place called-" Nightmare was cut off when Angel yelled,

"What makes you think you can come into my house and ask questions?! Especially after you threatened to level it! How dare you! You have some nerve coming in here and disrespecting my husband and my home! And you didn't have the decency to wipe your feet! Look at all the dirt!" Angel scolded as she pointed to the ground while the two guys looked down at the messy floor under Nightmare's feet.

"Honestly! Get some manners if you want to be treated like a freaking prince! Here!" Angel said, as she got a broom and shoved it into Nightmare's hands.

"Sweep this mess up and go! Coming in here like a hoodlum on the run! Show some decorum!" Angel said, as she pointed at the floor.

"... Husband?" Nightmare said, still in shock, as Dust held back a laugh and Angel nudged him to sweep.

Dust walked next to Angel as they watched Nightmare sweep, and he leaned over to her and said, "You know he's the prince of nightmares right?"

"I don't care if he's the emperor of evil, my home will be respected, as well as my husband," Angel said, as she placed her left hand with a diamond ring on her finger on his shoulder.

"Heh. That's my girl," Dust said, as he placed his left hand with a banner on his finger over her hand.

After Nightmare swept and left in rage and embarrassment, Dust and Angel decided to lay on the sofa together, as Dust resumed reading his book while Angel laid on his chest to take a nap.

And that's the end for this one! Next story is in progress. :)

Also, thank you for giving me the link to Inverted Fate! I will definitely consider writing a story on it since I have the main webpage for it!
