I woke up in pain. What happened? I thought. I open my eyes to find myself in a beige colored room. I painfully looked around to see that I was hooked up to some machines. Where am I?! Where's Dream?! What happened to our mom?! I start to freak out. What's going to happen if I'm not there with him?! I start to look through my memories, to find a reason to why I'm here, but I couldn't find anything. Just then, a skeleton came in the room. He looked like me and Dream, except he was wearing glasses and a lab coat, and his eyelights are white. Right behind him is the person I wanted to see.

"D-Dream!" I tried to call out, but my voice was weak, and it came out as more of a whisper-yell. Luckily, it was enough for them to hear, and they both turned to me in shock. Then Dream ran next to me in the bed, with stars in their eyes.

"Nightmare! You're ok!" He cried. He has some tears in his eyes, and his aura tells me they were tears of joy.

"Dream... it's so good to see you. W-what happened?" I said. Dream's smile dropped, but his aura is still positive. I wonder why...

"W-well, there was a person that attacked us, and you got hit in the skull from one of their attacks. The person who attacked us ran away, but they left a sample of their attack."

"W-wait, what?!" I said in shock. "Someone attacked us?! When?! Is the tree okay?!" Dream stared at me in shock. He looked at me tearfully. Oh no, did it...

"Nightmare... the tree was gone... for over 1000 years now..."

"WHAT?!" I yelled. "B-b-But that can be! I-I-I was there, with you! W-we were going to meet the people, f-from the new village!"
Dream just stared at me with surprise. He covered his mouth and had tears in his eyes. What is going on? How long was I out?

Dream looked away, and lowered his hands a bit. He looked a bit thoughtful before taking a deep breath and taking off a scarf he had. That's when I noticed a bandage in his right arm, and I could see a bit of red spilling out.

"Dream... what happened?" I said. He unfolded the scarf and I was surprised that it looked like the flag we put at the bleeding part of the tree. Unless...

"Brother, do you remember this?" Dream said seriously. I never heard him so serious before.

"I-It was the flag, that we put at the tree right?" Dream nodded.

"And... do you remember when we did this?"

"It was... a couple years ago, no?" Dream whent eye wide and started hugging me out of the blue. It took a moment to realise it, but I could hear him crying. "Dream?" I asked. "Hey, hey, it's going to be ok." I hugged back and patted his back. He started hugging me tighter.

"Nightmare... that was a long time ago too." Dream said in between sobs. I just stayed there in shock. One of the more worrying things is the fact that his aura is always positive, despite the fact that he's crying. Was he faking it? I thought to myself. But, we been through so much!

"Dream... what's going on?" I asked him. If I'm going to get to the bottom of this, might as well start at the beginning.

"Well..." Dream started, and he looked back at the other skeleton in the room. "Sci, could you tell the others that Nightmare's awake now?"

The skeleton, who I could only assume is called Sci, nodded and left the room, leaving me and Dream alone. Dream looked back at me.

"Nightmare, could you promise me something?" Dream asked me.

"O-of course." I answered nervously.
"Please, don't freak out when I tell you what happened. " I stared at Dream, before finally responding.

"Alright. I promise."

Dream took another deep breath. "Alright. It started over 1000 years ago... you were..." Dream looked away from me in shame. "You were... very mistreated by the people of the village..." I stayed quiet, and Dream continued. "They...they drove me away... just to hurt you..." He started to partially tear up. "And, well..." He paused for another moment. "You wanted to prove that, you could protect the golden fruits. But... you..." Dream took a moment to try to find the right words. "You... changed them." I start to get really worried.

"Changed them? H-How?" I asked nervously.

"You... turned them into-" Dream started, before the door was slammed open by two skeletons.

One(the one who slammed the door) was wearing some kind of cream and brown outfit with partial blue stripes on the sleeves, and he had a sash with straps for holding small containers, with contained a series of colors from red to purple. He also had a giant paint brush from his back(I want one for my birthday-). His eyes lights also appear to change whenever he blinked, from a star, to an exclamation point, etc. The other one had some kind of partial armor over a grey shirt, and he wore some kind of a blue colored bandana. He appeared more... innocent? His eyes are huge blue eyelight, which do not change like the other ones'. They both had worried expressions, but the one with the paintbrush looked at me from the corners of his eye sockets and his's expression immediately changed to one of anger.

"Dream! Are you ok?" The one in the paint brush said, walking up to Dream, ignoring me. The one in the armor walked to the opposite side of the bed, kneeling down a bit.

"Ink, I'm fine, don't worry." Dream told the brush wielding skeleton, who I assumed is called Ink. Ink looked back at me, and gave me a hateful glare. He quickly looked back at Dream.

"Could we talk? Outside?" Ink said, eyeing me with that last line. Dream looked at me for a moment.

"I'll be back in a second Nightmare, hang tight." He told me, before he and Ink left the room.

Where am I even supposed to go? I thought to myself.

"So... how are you feeling?" The skeleton in the armor said, who I forgot was here.

"I'm, uh, good? I guess?" I responded, unsure of the situation. "Uh, what's your name?"

The armored skeleton blinks a couple of times, somehow, and looks at me in confusion.

"Do you not know who I am?" They asked worriedly.

"N-no, sorry." His eye lights disappeared a second, but then they turned into huge blue eyelight that looked like had a star shaped hole in them.

"WELL THEN!" He yelled, with a huge grin plastered in his face. "I AM THE MAGNIFICENT SANS!! BUT MY FRIENDS CALL ME BLUE OR BLUEBERRY!!" Man, he sure is loud. I thought. It's giving me a headache.

"Uh, nice to meet you?" I said, rubbing my head. At least, I tried. "I-I'm Night-"

"SAY NO MORE!" Blue cut off. "I ALREADY KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"

"O-oh." I was hurt a bit. I mean, it makes sense if he knew me, I did guard the dark side of the tree. But I wished he let me speak. I believe he noticed I got hurt (emotionally), cause he immediately apologized.

"Oh, sorry!" He said, his voice softer. "I sometimes can't control myself." His aura told me that he really did feel bad.

"Hey, it's fine, I didn't-." I stopped mid-sentence. I had the urge to say 'I didn't control myself either', but I'm not sure why. Was it something I did before?

"You didn't what?" Blue asked, curiously looking at me.

"N-Never mind." I said, not only because I didn't want to say it, but because I got extremely tired of trying to keep my head up. I played my head back to the pillow, but I didn't fall asleep, I couldn't. Too many things were in my mind, from mom dying, to these weird skeletons that Dream apparently knew. "Hey, how did you meet Dream?" I asked Blue.

"Oh, Dream didn't tell you?" Blue said, tilting his head in confusion.

"N-No, we didn't talk much, with you barging in during our conversation. " I said coldly. Why did I say it like that? I thought. I started to feel bad for him, cause he looked hurt by my words. "H-hey, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-"

"Oh, it's fine!" Blue interrupted. "It was our fault! We were just worried for Dream!" Blue took a moment to calm down and take deep breath. "To answer your question..."
