Chapter 14 - The Cruise (Pt. 8)
"Nice job Ink and Error, you guys are the first to find your item! Followed by Dream and Killer, who are in second place!" Bubbly announced.
"Do we win anything?" Dream asked, his eyes sparkling.
"The feeling of being in second place!" Bubbly said.
"There's no prizes?" Fell asked, throwing his arms up, "Then what's the point of any of this?"
"Don't let go of me Fell!" Sci yelped, reaching out blindly to grab anything.
He wrapped his arms around Fell's whole arm after he had lowered it down, burying his face into the black cloth of his jacket. Fell glanced down with an obvious blush, confused.
"Where are the others?" Ink asked Bubbly.
"Well, team DustBerry is los-"
"DustBerry?" Sci interrupted.
"It's the team names I made up!" Bubbly clapped as she spoke, "There's DustBerry, ErrInk, SciFell, Kreme, stuff like that! Isn't is awesome?"
"Sure, whatever," Error quickly waved it off, because he didn't care about 'team' names, "What are we doing next?"
"Well," Bubbly said, looking down at her clipboard, "I have a whole list here, but I don't know which one to do, and let's not forget that not everyone is here yet."
"But I'm bored already," Fell growled, "And I thought this was an entertainment ship. So let us watch a movie or something like that."
"You mean set you guys up on movie dates?" Bubbly squealed, her eyes sparkling.
"No!" All of the skeletons had said at the same time.
"Aw, that blows," She mumbled sadly, "I love setting up dates."
"Well, what should we do now? Just wait for them?" Ink asked her.
"I wasn't expecting everyone to take that long," Bubbly laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of her head, "So I guess I can reward you guys by you guys voting what you want to do next."
"Are we going to have go circle options or something?" Sci asked, "Because I still can't see."
"No," The brown haired captain said, flipping though a few pages on her clipboard, "I'll just read them out loud and you guys can say if you like it or not."
"Well what's the options?" Error asked.
"We can go swimming in my pool a few floors below us," Bubbly offered.
"Nightmare would hate that, so that's a definite no," Killer said.
"Yeah, he does..." Dream said sadly, tracing invisible patterns along the edge of the ship.
"It's ok, he'll talk to you one day," Ink comforted his friend, patting the skeletons back.
"Maybe," Dream sighed, "Just maybe..."
"There's an arcade you guys can play games in," Bubbly offered next.
"Geno would love video games!" Sci said.
"But I know Ink here isn't a fan," Error said.
"Shut it, we aren't friends like before," The boss muttered, looking away.
"Technically we-"
"I said shut it!" Ink yelled.
Everyone was definitely paying attention to them, interested on what the heck was going on. Error was frowning at Ink, who was glaring back at his second in command.
"Hey guys we-" Sans said, stepping out onto the deck with Alphys following him.
The both stopped when they saw the heated scene, setting down their required item with their slip on top of it before retreating back inside, making sure no one saw them before the scavenger hunt partners hurried off.
They didn't want to interfere with this, they had no idea what was going on, but interrupting it would surely set off some chaos.
"Hey guys, let's just calm down, no need to glare!" Bubbly quickly said, waving her arms frantically, "You guys need to pick out a game!"
Ink sighed, turning away from Error. He knew he had to be a good example, but it was hard to ignore what Error had done those years ago.
However, being brave was a part of being a Boss.
"What other options are there?" Ink asked quietly.
"Um," She said, "There's the art partner contest, where you and your partner have to draw something amazing."
"Yes, let's do that!" The Boss said quickly, his eyes gleaming with pure joy.
"We Gatta be artsy fartsy now?" Killer whined.
"Shut it boy!" Error hissed at the hooded male, "Shhh!"
"I'm surrounded by lunatics!" Fell muttered, face palming.

Cross had finally found Nightmare in one of the hallways, which he was carrying a large sack over his shoulder slowly. Nightmare hadn't spotted him yet, so Cross decided to make things more interesting.
By screaming bloody murder.
Not really. That was his first thought, but some employee might've heard, set on some alarms or something, thus setting everyone into an unnecessary panic.
So, the skeleton settled for a simple plan by tapping his shoulder from behind and muttering 'boo'.
What happened next was not planned for Cross.
Instead of screaming, or jumping, or even ignoring him, Nightmare's tentacles shot out from his back, going full speed to try to impale Cross. Luckily, Cross managed to dodge by crouching down and jumping to the side, but he barely manged to dodge it.
Nightmare turned, his blue eye glowing slightly as he growled out at Cross, "Oh, it's just you. Pathetic."
"Says the guy who randomly attacked for no reason," Cross said, standing up.
"Says the guy that tried to scare me," Nightmare rolled his eye, "You should've expected that."
"You wouldn't have expected it either."
"I can expect anything you'll do, you're so predictable."
Cross raised his eyebrows, "You sure?" He questioned with a cocky expression, "I highly doubt it."
"Oh, so are you suggestion something?" Nightmare said, crossing his arms with his tentacles flicking behind him, "I am a very competitive person."
"So am I," The white hooded skeleton said, "I suggest a duel."
"A duel? What are you from, the 80's? Just say fight like everyone else."
"I really don't like you right now."
"I really don't like you either."
"Anywho," Cross waved it off, "Let's make this stupid boat ride more interesting, shall we?"
"Continue," Nightmare said, tilting his head.
"Both of us are allowed to try and do something the other won't expect. If they look off guard, they lose. Winner decides the prize within reason. The Loser has to do it. Deal?"
"Deal."
