Updateeeed!
Mr. Bear was reading a newspaper as he waited within his booth for anyone who wanted to show up. As he flipped through the pages, he heard footsteps heading towards him. He looked up to see a Sans looking around while approaching him, but he noticed that this one looked much kinder than the most recent one. After a moment, Mr. Bear recognized him and was more than happy to welcome him to Serentime.
He had gold pupils with a gold headband wrapped around his head, and he wore a yellow cape around his neck that he used as a hoodie now because his brother broke it. He wore a pale yellow and green outlined long jacket, and a green belt around his waist with a buckle that had a 'DS' on it. His body was covered in a black under suit with yellow gloves on his hands.
"Hello Sir Dream! Welcome to Serentime. How may I help you?" Mr. Bear asked.
"Oh, hi! You already know my name?" Dream asked.
"Of course! You may call me Bear or Mr. Bear. I'm the gatekeeper here set by Mettatime, the owner of this world. He has been keeping watch outside of this world, and he really appreciates you! He says you're a-okay to come into Serentime anytime you'd like," Mr. Bear said, as he handed over the wristband and bag of coins.
"That's very kind of him. Thank you. I had wanted to visit since Ink had told me about it," Dream Sans asked, taking the items.
"Well I'm glad to welcome you in! I hope you enjoy your stay, Sir Dream!" Mr. Bear replied with a wave, and Dream waved back.
He slipped on the wristband, and when the gates opened, Dream entered Serentime. He entered Carnifair and was amazed by the games, rides, and food that was there, and how everyone was having a good time. However, he noticed that he couldn't sense positive or negative feelings from anyone there, even though they were clearly expressing positive emotions.
'It's a wonderful world, but strange as well. I wonder how Mettatime maintains it… I should ask him if I could find him,' Dream thought, as he continued traveling around the world to where the large fountains were.
He went to a place where four fountains surrounded a square area that had a bench and a street lamp above it. This area was empty besides the few water-type monsters hanging out inside the fountains. Dream decided to take a rest here, as he sat on the marble bench, enjoying the scenery of water and marble statues surrounding him. He closed his eyes to bask in the peacefulness of this place, and then he heard soft footsteps approaching him. His curiosity got the better of him, as he peeked with one eye at the person who was now seated on the opposite end of the bench.
She was sitting quietly as she pulled her ponytail forward and was brushing her fingers through her black hair with ruby-colored ends. Her eyes were emerald green, and a lone fang poked out from her mouth. Her delicate hands had claws that glistened in multiple colors, and her clothes consisted of a green kimono blouse with black pants and brown boots that reached the center of her shins. Her long-sleeved kimono was lined with white and was tied around her midsection with a pink and red bow.
Dream found this girl to be interesting, but what really caught his attention was how somber her expression looked, as if she was lost in a cloud of thoughts and couldn't find her way out. He worked up the courage to speak to her, since he was cautious of her claws, and said in a soft tone,
"Miss. Pardon me, but I couldn't help but notice you seem a little distant and sad. I was wondering if maybe there is something on your mind that you need to talk about. If you need an ear to listen, I'll hear you out if you'd like."
The girl looked towards Dream with her somber eyes and an arched eyebrow.
"Who are you that you would care for me? Do you know me?" The girl asked.
"I don't know you, but I wouldn't want anyone to feel as sad as you seem. My name is Dream. What's yours?" Dream asked, moving a little closer to her.
"... Crystal. Hello, Dream," Crystal replied.
"Hi Crystal, nice to meet you," Dream said, as he offered his hand to her.
She hesitated, but then she took his hand to shake.
"I apologize, I'm a little skeptical of new people I meet… so why are you so keen on hearing out a stranger?" Crystal asked in a calm and light tone.
"Well, there's a few reasons. I like helping people and spread positivity to those I meet. I'm sort of the embodiment of positivity and I like using my powers to help people in any way I can, even to someone I just met. I'm not particular. I think everyone should have a chance to gain some happiness and live better lives. So I help anyone I can reach with all of my might," Dream replied confidently to ease her sketicism of him.
"Ohh, that sounds very noble. Though, I don't think you'd be able to help me. It's complicated," Crystal said.
"Well, I won't know until I've heard you out first," Dream said, with a smile.
"Weeell… okay. Might as well try…" Crystal said with a small smile, as she turned towards him and pushed her hair back.
"I… don't remember who I am or where I'm from. All I remember is waking up in an empty place, and then being sent here by someone who found me wandering around there. I remember my name, but I can't remember anything else... I just feel so... alone. And I don't know if maybe there are people who are looking for me and I can't even remember… I don't know what to do," Crystal said, sadness in her voice.
"Aw, Crystal... chin up! I'll help you get your memories back. I don't know how exactly, but if we work together, I'm sure we can come up with a solution," Dream said with much enthusiasm, as Crystal looked at him with a small smile.
"Plus, you won't have to feel lonely either. I'll be with you all the way. If that's okay," Dream said with a kind smile.
Crystal's eyes lit up a little, as her smile widened, and she said, "Th-Thank you, Dream. I'd appreciate your help."
"Great! Then let's recover your lost memories!" Dream said, as he stood up.
"Where should we start?" Crystal asked, as she slowly stood up.
"Hmm... well, first things first, are you hungry? We can't think on an empty stomach you know," Dream asked.
"I am hungry, now that I think about it," Crystal said, her palm on her stomach.
"Okay! Then let's go eat," Dream said, as he led the way to the food court while Crystal followed.
They ate together and spoke about Serentime since they were both sort of new to the world. Afterward, they headed to the beach since it was a quieter place to talk about Crystal's memories.
"So I was thinking, do you have any powers or something? Or a special talent that you can do? Let's start with getting to know you, and then we can try to link you to another world or person if your power is similar," Dream suggested.
"Hmmm. I don't remember much to know what I can do, or if I have a special talent. I know I like plants and listening to music," Crystal said.
"Then we should find some plants for you to see, but since it's more quiet here, let's listen to some music first. I think I saw a radio of some sort on our way here, I'll be right back," Dream said, as he teleported out of sight.
Crystal stood on the beach, walking close to the water, as she peered into the translucent body of liquid.
'He is very kind to help me, even someone like me who's situation is borderline of hopeless... but he did say he is the embodiment of positivity… I wonder what that is like. Is he made of it? Does he radiate it or does he collect it? I wonder…' Crystal thought, and then she heard patting feet on the sand as she turned to see Dream running towards her.
"I got it! It's actually a radio, CD, and phone music player. I don't have music on my phone to play, but I got a few CDs," Dream said, as he showed her the discs.
"Wow, you really take the initiative when doing something. Thank you, Dream," Crystal said with a smile.
"Heh, it's no problem," Dream said, smiling back at her.
He played a few CDs as they listened to the songs, until a song played by a violinist came on. She listened more intently to the echoes of the stringed instrument, as she began to sway to the melody. As the pace quickened, Crystal began to harmonize in dance, as Dream watched her. He felt compelled to move closer to her, as if her elegant movements and spins were reeling him in, but he regained his composure as he continued to watch her with a smile.
Crystal closed her eyes and spun pretty fast, and as she slowed to a stop, her hands almost acted on their own as they glowed red and pink to create a violin and bow made of red, pink, and white crystals. Dream was completely baffled as Crystal played along with the music on her violin, completely immersed in the melody. When the song ended, Crystal completed her dance and playing of the violin, and then her eyes opened.
"What's the matter... Dream?" Crystal asked, as she noticed the violin and bow she held in her hands.
"Whoooa. Crystal, how did you do that?" Dream asked, as he walked closer to her.
"I am... not certain. I just became so immersed in the melody... how peculiar. This instrument is so well designed," Crystal said, looking over the violin.
"It is very intricate," Dream said as he examined the instrument and added, "I don't expect that this was created on a whim. Possibly, you've created this instrument before."
"That seems like a proper conjunction," Crystal said, as she examined a particular crystal at the head of the violin.
The crystal was in a yellow heart shape with another pink heart inside of it, and a smaller green heart in the center of that one. Dream noticed that she was focusing intently on the tri-crystal heart, as he gazed upon it as well.
"Is the gem familiar to you?" Dream asked.
"It does look familiar... very familiar... like something someone made for me... yellow crystal... Sans..." Crystal said, as Dream looked at her.
"Sans... Frisk... Papyrus..." Crystal said, her eyes brightening for a moment, and then they calmed down in intensity as she made the violin and bow disappear.
"Huh? Did you remember something Crystal?" Dream asked, trying to stay calm although he was growing excited.
"I remember a place with a green sky, and every structure was made of glimmering gems, with cyan grass... and I remember a child, Frisk. She was my friend, and Papyrus was too... and Sans... he was my boyfriend. I loved him," Crystal said, her mind drifting to her memories.
"W-Wow! That's already a start! You did have you're own world and friends! Oh my, they must be worried about you," Dream said.
"...True. They would be," Crystal said, her fingers placed on her temple.
"What's the matter, Crystal? And, why do you say 'would be,' and 'loved?'" Dream asked, growing concerned.
"I am not sure. The words just slipped out I guess," Crystal said, removing her fingers from her head.
"Well, would you like to continue getting your memories back?" Dream asked.
"Yes, I do. I want to know where I come from, and who I am," Crystal replied, and he nodded.
"Then let's go find some plants. There's a garden someone told me about North from here, so let's see if we can jog more of your memory," Dream said, and Crystal nodded as they started walking towards the garden.
