I remember running home one day, in tears. One of the older kids had beaten me up... Again. I guess they can't appreciate that I'm just different... Being part Skeleton now. Before, I had wiped away my tears, healed myself, and plastered a fake smile on my face as I walked in the door. But this time it was to much to bear. I ran in the door, up the stairs, and into my bedroom, sobbing, not even giving a second glance to my brothers, The Gasters, or Ink and Error. I looked in my new mirror as soon as I got into my room. Was I really as ugly as they said? Did I really look that bad? After about a week of this torment, you can understand why I was starting to believe what they were saying. Or at least I hope you would. I plonked on my bed, and cried into my pillow for at least 5 minutes, until their was a knock on my door.

"Cappy? Are you okay?" Asked the voice of Blue. I didn't reply.

"Cap, can we come in?" Asked Sans. I didn't reply.

"We aren't asking again, Cap, next we will just barge in." Fell announced. Without another moments hesitation, all my brothers flooded into my room. I looked at them. They could obviously tell I had been crying. I did have pink puffy eyes. I sat up and looked to my hands, but closed them quickly, hoping that they hadn't seen them. But I was wrong.

"Cap. What happened?" Dark asked. I avoided eye contact. "Cap. Show me your hands." Dark demanded. I shook my head. "I'm not asking, Cap." Dark replied. I drew in a deep sigh. I knew that if I didn't show him, he would force me to. I looked up at Dark and he gasped. "C-Cap! What happened?"

"It's nothing." I croaked.

"Um it's obviously not "nothing" if this is what you're hiding." Dark explained.

"Look, I just got roughed up a little bit, it's really no big deal. I probably deserved it." I replied. Darks eyes went narrow and one turned red.

"Who did it." Dark asked in a scary voice.

"None of your business." I replied.

"Tell me who did this to you!" Dark yelled.

"People" I replied nonchalantly.

"Who?!"

"I don't know their names!" I yelled finally. "Alright? I-I don't know who they are, or why they keep doing this to me... I just... I don't want you guys to get involved."

"What do they say to you while they are doing... That to you?" Blue asked. I lowered my head.

"Oh you know... Just polite reminders of who I am and what I look like to the rest of the town." I announced.

"Polite? Something tells me this is a little more than "polite reminders" Cap" Sans announced.

"I don't see how they are wrong! How am I supposed to refute an argument that they have already proven to be right! And... They've made the point so many times, I'm starting to believe it..."

"And...What's that point?" Papyrus asked.

"I don't belong here....I'm a loner...I'll never find anyone who will like me... Because... of what I look like." I mumbled. Dark drew in a deep breath.

"I'm going to kill them." Dark announced. I grabbed his shoulder.

"No. You won't do anything. I won't let you. None of you will. I can solve my own problems." I announced. all my brothers looked at me. I could tell they wanted to intervene. That they didn't want me to come home beaten up. But the truth is... I had lost a lot of determination. And I hadn't told anyone. And my hope level was low too. Which is why I let it continue to happen. And the next day, that's exactly what did happen.

"Hey Ugly! Come back for some more?" One of the larger boys of the group asked.

"Please leave me alone." I mumbled, and continued walking.

"Hey guys, you know something? I think little ugly here, is homeless too." He teased. The rest of his group laughed. "Is that it Ugly? Do you just have no place to live? Because no one loves you, Ugly."

I continued walking.

"Hey Ugly, I'm talking to you!" He announced. Then he ran in front of me, grabbed the front of my sweatshirt and held me off the ground. My hood fell off my head and reveled my face. "Ah there's that famed Ugly face I was talking about. He looked at my cuts and bruises from the day before. "Not so much of quick healer after a few beatings, are you Ugly?" He pulled his fist back. "Oh I'm going to enjoy this." I squinted my eyes and braced myself for impact. But it never arrived. Instead His fist passed right by my face. "What the?!" He attempted to hit me again, but he missed. "What kind of joke is this?!"

"Hey don't look at me, I'm not doing it." I announced, holding my hands up. I looked to the guys hand and then realized what was going on. His fist was surrounded by a red aura. One that matched that of Darks magic.

"Drop. Our. Sister." Dark announced.

"Oh no." I groaned.

"And who's making me?" Laughed the guy.

"Who said we were making you? I was just merely suggesting you do before you make the biggest mistake of your life, Pal." Dark explained.

"Dark, I told you I could do this by myself." I stated, grinding my teeth.

"Sure looks like it." Dark replied. "Now, Pal, Drop our sister before I make you." Dark announced. The guy laughed.

"Oh yeah, You and what army, Ugly's Brother." Guy asked. Dark laughed.

"Oh, Pal... I'd hate to admit it, but there two things you should know about me. One, I have never lost a fight. Two, I never leave home without back up. Isn't that right, Bro's?" Dark asked. In that moment, my remaining brothers and Ink and Error teleported right next to Dark. And Guy was utterly scared.

"Y-Y-you have pretty freaky family members, a-a-aye Ugly?" Guy gulped, trying to play it cool.

"And another thing pal, My little sister has never been more beautiful in her entire life. You're just to self absorbed and snotty to see that. Now I'm going to give you one more chance to drop my Sister before I really make you regret your life decisions." Dark announced. I smiled. Guy dropped me to the ground, and sprinted for the hills, screaming. His group was smart and ran after him. I got up off the ground, wiped myself off and looked to Dark and others.

"Thanks." I announced finally. Dark teleported to me and trapped me in a hug.

"I'll always be there for you Sis. Just say the word. Okay?" Dark ask. I smiled and nodded.

"Sure, Dark." I replied.

That day I learned that my bothers will never let me face things on my own. They will always be there when I need them.
