John, with his Heir of Breath hood on his head, calmly walks up to Rose.

"sup, rose?"

She just looks at him, waving, and then puts her head back down. He gives her a worried questionable look.

"hey, are you alright?" He asks.

Rose lifts up her head back up, with a fake smile.

"I'm fine."

John saw the fear in her eyes.

"your eyes say differently."

That fake smile quickly turns into a frown.

"What makes you say that?"

"i see that you are worried about something, rose," John pauses, "everyone else is looking after kanaya in her tent, you can tell me anything."

Rose gasps when she heard that Kanaya is in the tent.

"Is she alright?!"

"woah, calm down there." John pauses, "she's asleep."

"What kind of asleep?"

John looks confused.

"um, normal."

Rose sighs in relief.

"Thank god."

John puts a hand on her shoulder.

"hey, are you sure you are alright?" He pauses, "you are shaking like a leaf."

Rose glances into his blue eyes.

"It happened two weeks ago."

"something happened?"

"This outbreak has been affecting my dreambubble."

"i know, it has to all of us."

"I know."

"so, you had a nightmare?"

Rose nods.

"tell me all about it."

Rose clenches her fist.

"Well, I was waiting outside a large tent," Rose pauses, "pacing back and forth, waiting for an update on Kanaya."

"on kanaya?"

"You came out of the tent first, your glasses had been scratched up to the point you had to take them off," she pauses to take a deep breath in, "I asked you how Kanaya was doing, but you didn't answer me."

"what?"

"Then Karkat and the others came out, I looked around to see if Kanaya had been part of the group," she pauses, "but . . ."

"but?"

"She wasn't standing with the group of trolls."

"is there more?"

Rose hesitates to say the last few parts of her nightmare, tears form in her eyes, her shaking got worse; she clenches her fists, digging her fingernails into her skin.

"I asked Karkat what was the update on Kanaya." Rose's voice shakes, "All he said was, 'I'm sorry'."

"what is that supposed to mean?"

"I asked why would he apologize to me. Then I hear Terezi say, 'Kanaya is dead."

"what the hell?!"

"Then Sollux wanted me to go see Kanaya's body," she pauses, whipping a few tears away, "before they put her deep within the ground. I couldn't get myself to do it. Until Karkat said that I should, because she would have liked me to have been the last one to see her dead corpse."

"that is just a little . . ." John pauses, trying to find the right word to say, "vulgar."

"So, I went into the tent, by myself, seeing her body," Rose pauses yet again, whipping some more tears away, "I fall to my knees, I hold her body close to me. Her skin was cold, her chest was covered in blood."

"rose, i . . ."

"Maybe this nightmare was just a sequel to something I had before this nightmare."

"another nightmare?"

"We were all fighting Nepeta, Vriska, Equius, Gamzee, Jade, and the three alpha players."

"let me guess," John pauses, "you, dave, and i were fighting jade?"

"No, I wasn't there. Karkat was fighting Gamzee, Aradia and Sollux were fighting Equius and one of the alpha players, Terezi was fighting Nepeta, my mother was fighting off two of the alpha players, and Kanaya was fighting off . . ." Rose chokes on Vriska's name, "Vriska."

"that spider bitch."

"Well, I saw Equius, the three alpha players, and Nepeta; on the ground." She pauses, "You all were injured, Kanaya was still fighting Vriska. You all tried to move to help her, but you couldn't; your feet were sewn to the ground by spider web. Everything went black, and I heard a scream."

"a scream?"

"It was . . ." Rose chokes on her matesprits' name, as more tears come out of her eyes, "Kanaya."

Rose sobs even more. John puts his arms around her, comforting her.

"i'm sorry, rose." He pauses, "no one should have these nightmares."

"I'll . . . Be fine." She says through the tears.
