Free: Damage

[Friend I know you have been wronged, I feel your saddened song, But please know the faults I've made, I will make up some day] X 4

"Sniff...Sniff..."

"Dream...I..."

"You don't understand, Nightmare! You never do!" the golden-haired boy ran away from the scene.

"..."

..............................................................................................................
{His remorse, I can tell, I know he won't take it well, In your game, It was fun, But you can't erase what's done}

Mr. Nightmare looked down at the photo of two people.

One was Dream.

The other was a boy named Henry.

"Henry...Boy does Dream miss you."

The raven-haired teacher set the photo down. 

"He really misses you."


..............................................................................................................

[Though I know I cannot change fate like a Holy God, In our friendship, it was true, till the day, I have hurt you, It was hard, It was pain, But our efforts won't be in vain ]

"Ok class, today we will talking about, 'Regret'."

"Teacher, that topic sounds really simple."

"It's easy to write, but is it easy to talk about?"

"Um..."

"Ok, nevermind. But can anyone give me their stories of past regret?"

...............................................................................................................

{Fix the wrong, make it right, I know we can try this time, If we win, It's our gain, If we lose, we'll still remain} 

"M-Mr. Nightmare...?"

"Hmm?" Mr. Nightmare looked up from his mug.

"W-would you like t-to go to the movies with me and U-Undyne? We plan to watch 'Mew Mew K-Kissy Cutie: The Coffee Whiskers'."

"Hmm...Mew Mew Kissy Cutie...? Mew...Mew Mew...Mew Mew...That's it!" Mr. Nightmare punched his table.

"Eeek! W-what...?"

"Thank you, oh thank you Ms. Alphys!"

"Um...Y-your welc-come...?"

...............................................................................................................

{Please stay determined for somebody cares, Even if you see can't it yet, Please know it is still there, Now we know what we must do to glue, Back your true friendship with Henry, Dream, I believe in you!}
Dream and Henry got into a fight because Dream lost Henry's action figure! 

If we find it, they can fix their friendship!

He went to the park near their house, since that's where they lost it. 

He looked high and low, jumping through bushes and climbing trees.



"Urgh...That Mew action figure is so hard to find!"

Somewhere in the distance, a brown haired boy looked at him.

"Nightmare?"

..............................................................................................................
[Brother what have you done? You've turned ill, But just for what? In this trial, I now see, What truly matters to me!]


"Dream...Hey...Dream..."

"N-Nightmare?"

"Hey...Ugh..." the teacher suddenly collapsed on the ground.

"Nightmare? Nightmare??"

..............................................................................................................

{Strike me down, Stab my chest, Sorry Dream, I've tried my best, It's so hard, to stay up, But I must not sleep, I can't!}

"Your brother has pneumonia."

"What?"

"He still weak, but if he stay for treatment, we can save his life."

Tubes ran through his body. He shuddered, coughing.

 "Brother..." Dream held his hand, hoping to ease his brother's pain.

...............................................................................................................

(Trials of infinity, The facts lead you to me, If I'd known the pain I'd caused, I'd make up for my faults, In this battle to survive, Hope Nightmare stays alive, I want to say Dream I'm sorry for my awful deeds, If I could turn back the clock, I would not hate at you, Both of us are like a kin, I can't rage for this too, I just want us to be friends, To make it up to you, Please Dream you can leave me though, That is if you want to)

 Step...Step...

"Huh?"

Creeeeeeaaaaaaak...

"H-Henry?!"

"Dream..." the boy looked down in shame.

"What is it?"

"Your brother...He...went out in the pouring rain just to find my Mew action figure...I'm such...a big jerk! I'm so sorry!"

...............................................................................................................

[I forgive, I forget, It must be mistaken and, I know we can be, careless we will be clumsy, If I bring grudge back home, I will only sob alone, Please, let's pray, for my bro, I can't let him be alone]

"It's ok...I know you were just upset. Anyway, it's my fault I lost it in the first place."



"Heh...What did I do to deserve you? Was I a community worker?"



"Haha..."

………………………………………………………………………..

[(Now we can be friends again, Hope this time it won't end, We can join hands like best buds, And see the truth unbend])

{Being positive and strong, I know it will be long, Let us see this friendship bloom, Right into something new}

"Cough! Cough!"

"Nightmare?"

"I-I'm fine..."

"..." Dream looked away.

"Nightmare I..." 

"No, really, I..."

"..."

"..."

"How did we end up in this situation?"

"I don't know."

Creak!

"Doctor?"

"Good news, your brother is almost recovered. He should be fine in a week."




………………………………………………………………………..
"Hey, N!"

"Henry?"

"C'mon, man! We're going for movies! It's gonna be fun!"

"What movie is it?" 

"Africa! Specifically Angola!"

"AFRICA?!"

"Yesh!" 

"Um...Just a minute, let me ring up Mrs. Toriel. I wanna ask her something."

…………………………………………………………......................

Ring! Ring! 

[Yes?]

"Um, Mrs. Toriel, can I borrow your book on Africa?"

[But of course!]

"Thanks."

[Here I also have its flag. Would you like that too?]




"Sure. Thanks Mrs-"

[Please, just Toriel. You are by far the only teacher who calls me Mrs. Toriel.]

"Well then, thank you so much Toriel."

..............................................................................................................

"Angola is twice the size of Texas, it's rich in natural resources, almost everyone is under 24 years old, 70 percent of them, at least. They suffered civil war, and one man can...OH MY APPLE!!!"

Mr. Nightmare shut the book, his face like a tomato.

"Brother, what's wrong?" 

"Dream, please don't ask."

"C'mon guys!" Henry shouted, waving at them.

"Ah...GSC. Such a nice cinema." Dream sighed.

"Uh...Yeah." Mr. Nightmare turned his face.

"What movie is it anyway?"

"It's called 'Chuva Vermelha'. It's Portuguese for 'Red Rain'. "Well, after this, let's go for-" "Let me guess, ice cream?" "No! Durian!" "What?" "Yeah!" "Why Mr. Stinky Fruit? You used to hate that. You even named them that!" "Cause today is Malaysia day! Remember?" "Oh yeah!" "So come on! Let's go for durian!" "Hey! Are you guys coming or what?" "Yes, Henry!" .................................................................................................... "Africa gained independence in 1975...It started civil war after that." "Night, come on! We're here for Malaysia! Not Africa!" "You're right, you're right."
