Taboo
(Why must we hide away this fact? Is it THAT taboo?)

"Guuuuys…" Lynx cried when she came out of the bathroom one day.

"What's wrong?" Ink asked.

"I'm dyiiiiing…" she wailed, showing a piece of yellow cloth with red on it.

"O...MG..." Dream gasped, hands clasped over his mouth. 

"M-Mr. Nightmare!!" Ink called over the teacher who was walking towards them. 

"What is it?" he asked, wiping his crown on his shirt.

"Lynx is dying! She's bleeding!" Dream cried, holding the scared girl.

"What...Hold on, what piece of clothing is that?" Mr. Nightmare pointed to the cloth.

"Un...derwear…?" she sniffed.

"Oh my...Mrs. Toriel?" Mr. Nightmare saw the teacher walk  towards them.

"Yes?"

"Lynx is uh...having ah...her first...period."

"Oh, child! Come with me, I will help you." She grasped the girl's hand and led her away.

"Brother...what is period? Is it the one about time?" 

"Uh...no Dream...It's actually a term for girls when they...um..."

"...?"

"Um..."

"Blood, isn't it? A woman's menstruation." Ink said bluntly.

"Oh..." Dream clapped his hands together.

"Ink..." Mr. Nightmare was shocked.

"Don't think you can hide this from Dream forever." 

"It's...taboo to talk about it..."

"No it isn't."

"What?"

"It's stuff we all need to know. We must understand this and respect women for this."

"I..."

"Mr. Nightmare..."

"...You're right."

"Lynx is scared, too. We gotta be there to help her." 

"Ok, then." 

"Besides, she trusts us a lot. We should at least know something to assure her." 

They came to the classroom only to find their friend eating candy.

"Hey guys! I just got some candy! Want some/"

"Actually, can we talk?" Ink blushed, knowing that after this, their friendship will change forever.
