The Third Life

"Sailor Moon had at it again!" Blueberry exclaimed as she showed Ink and Dream a newspaper. They were at the Star Sanses base, having a cup of coffee.

"What did she do now this time?" Dream asked, pretending she didn't know since she was Sailor Moon.

"Error almost conquers Outertale, and then Sailor Moon shows up to save the day!" Blueberry exclaimed.

"Wow! That's great... you know?" Dream let out a smile.

"When we get to meet Sailor Moon in person, I will tell her she is our hero," Blueberry said happily.

"Dream, have you been in Outertale? I barely saw you in the newspaper. I mean, I was keeping my watch to make sure you were there." Ink said as he sat next to her.

"I was helping them out until I got attacked by Error before Sailor Moon showed up," Dream said.

"Did you talk to her? What did she say? Will she join us?" Ink asked excitedly and patiently.

She shook her head. "She is busy talking to the boy."

"What boy?" Ink asked, confused.

Dream began to blush softly as she smiled. "The most handsome boy with silver hair and some white-and-black clothing. Especially he had a scar on his left cheek and a left red eye."

"Wait! You mean... Cross!? She talked to Cross!?" Ink asked in shock.

She nodded. "You know Cross?"

"We've known each other for a while until he's gone," Ink said, didn't want to talk about the past.

"Okay..."

"And, oh, no! What if Sailor Moon joins the Bad Sanses!? What if Nightmare is involved in sending Error to capture her!? How will we get her to join the Star Sanses!?" Ink began to panic before he could puke with the black inks.

"Don't worry, Ink. She won't be joining the Bad Sanses since she fought Error. I assure you she won't be taking their sides." Dream said.

"Then why don't you go and find Sailor Moon and ask her if she would join the Star Sanses? We can't keep losing her all the time." Ink said.

"I would, Ink, but I don't see her anywhere," Dream said.

"Then keep finding her. She must be in the different AUs. If you couldn't, then I will find her myself." Ink literally scolded her like he was treating her like a kid.

She sighed in defeat. "Alright. I'll find her. If it is at least I could do."

He nodded. "Good."

What is up with Ink? He acts like he is obsessed or something. Dream thought, staring at her leader.

Meanwhile...

Cross arrived at the castle and confronted Nightmare in the throne room. "You send Error after us?"

"It's according to our plan. Why? You don't want to do the acting anymore?" Nightmare said with a glaring look.

"I want to make damn sure if any of you were involved in sending Error to destroy Outertale. I could have been killed!" Cross complained.

"Hey, it's not my fault I sent Error to capture you to low her into our trap." He then let out an evil smirk, asking him, "How does it feel to be the damsel in distress, Cross?"

"I am a weapon to you, boss!" He argued, pointing at him with his index finger.

He rolled his eyes. "Right."

"Can you at least let me try and get Sailor Moon and Dream into our trap? I know you can trust me." Cross demanded angrily.

"You are one of my trustworthy assassins, Cross. Of course, I can trust you, but if you ever fail me, I will send you back to the void where you and your ex-girlfriend Sylphiel have been trapped there forever as punishment. Capture them or I'll banish you." Nightmare hissed, threatening the X-Event.

He sighed as he nodded. "Yes, Nightmare. I will try my best."

"Good, now keep up the act," Nightmare said.

He nodded again. "Yes."

After that, Cross turned and walked away. When he was outside talking, he began to remember meeting Sailor Moon for the first, and then he was kissed on the cheek by her. He couldn't get her out of his head.

As for Dream, well... he wasn't sure what to think, but he was worried about her. He would never forget Error for tossing Dream away. He needed to find her and make sure she was alright.

X-Chara then appeared again with a smirk. "So what are you thinking about, Cross?"

"It's nothing. Just leave me alone." Cross said, trying to ignore him.

"Come on! I really want to know." X-Chara teased playfully.

"Why do you want to know? You've already seen what happened!" Cross argued, glaring at the phantom boy who was still living inside of him.

X-Chara let out a 'hm' look. "I see now. You were thinking about Dream and Sailor Moon, weren't you?"

"Why do you care? It's none of your business!" He said. He was getting really pissed off by X-Chara's shitlook.

"I can tell right your face, Cross. Have you forgotten something? You're not supposed to fall in love! Even though Sylphiel had played your feelings after dumping you! You were supposed to do the acting like Nightmare told you! It would be obvious if you had to keep focusing on what we were supposed to do: creating our own AU to steal their codes. That's our goal." X-Chara warned him with a serious look.

Cross glared at him more. "I know, but when will you ever shut up and get off of my head?"

"I told you, Cross. You're stuck with me forever since you stole my half-soul for a long time." X-Chara reminded him about the past.

He let out a 'tch' and decided to ignore his words.
