Karaoke Night Part 2: Group Song

Ink's pov

"Guys!" I shouted, entering the castles living room. It's been a month since our last karaoke night. I stopped creating, letting and even helping Error destroy the copies that were too much, meaning we won't have to fight anymore. Nightmare went into his passive form, though he can still turn goopy when he becomes angry or protective. They still live in the castle though.

  "Hey Ink, what's up?" Nightmare answered, the rest turning towards me. "Blue had the idea to make a group karaoke event! Will you six sing together or will you guys separate?" We looked at each other, then smirked. We all had the same idea. "Together. You'll see why." He nodded, then left to tell Blue. We looked at each other, then smirked.

Time to practice.

Dream's pov

We got down from the stage after singing "Legends Never Die" (I can write that if y'all want, btw), letting them come on stage instead. Before us, the Fallen Ones had sung "All the Good Girls Go To Hell" by Billie Eilish, Error making the extra things with his strings for all of us. Cross walked to the middle and said "What we will show on stage is the story of us coming together to support each other after some... personal tragedies, some of which ended recently. We hope you enjoy!" Then disappeared as the lights came off. When they came back on, he was in the left corner of the stage while Nightmare was on the right in his passive form. They were turned towards us with their backs to each other. Nightmare started to sing.

Nightmare Cross Horror Dust Killer ErRoR

I've been locked in the locker
Error's strings made figures pushing him around as my figure stood at the side, unable to help. I felt tears at the edge of my eye sockets. Was this how he felt?

I was picked last in soccer
Figures of Crosstale characters disappeared around him as Ink's figure turned away. I saw the real Ink look away in shame for a second before looking back towards the stage

And they say that it's all fun
Nightmare pointed at the figures around him.

But their fun, it ain't fun, man, I'm done
Cross took out his knife

And I know we're all different
Figures of different Sanses appeared

Our beliefs and religions
Nightmare pointed at them, slowly turning towards Cross

But I don't see the difference
Nightmare looked at Cross, who had all but cut him off.

In me, you
Io, tu
Or moi, vous

Nightmare smirked, getting Cross' attention with a motion of his hand.
So if you've had enough, then

Nightmare suddenly went into his corrupted form
Come to the land of the lost and lonely

He turned towards Cross, who looked scared
Don't be afraid, we'll be one big family

Cross smiled
Of freaks

Nightmare smiled as well
Like you and me

Error made shapes of cracked bones and shattered souls around them
I know a place where the bruised and broken

His castle, made of the strings used for the previous shapes as if it was made from them, appeared behind him. Cross stared in awe.
Live like the kings and the queens of tragedy

Cross then smiled once again
Just freaks, like you and me

Then, they turned towards us, singing together
We are the freaks

They shortcuted away, Dust, Killer and Horror appearing on stage. Horror stood at the right corner, holding his stomach and looking as if he's barely standing. Killer was accross him, sitting on the ground with dirt on his clothes. Dust stood at the middle, towards the back of the stage with his hood covering his face.

I've been kicked down in the dirt
Killer got up, hardly standing up and looking tired

I pretend that it don't hurt
Horror rubbed his stomach while smiling at a figure of his brother, only to catch Killer's eye, who turned towards him after hearing him speak. They took a step towards each other before Killer tossed Horror some chocolate. Horror smiled in gratitude.

And I know that they're just words
Dust walked foward as a figure of the ghost of his brother appeared for a second. The other two turned towards Dust's voice, Horror still eating his newly claimed chocolate. Dust had been watching them, and they were awear of it, approaching carefully. A time skip was evident, as Killer was slightly projective of Horror.

But sticks, stones, they break bones
The other two nodded, relief washing over their features as they realised he was like them.

But just know
Nightmare walked in from backstage in his passive form, Cross fallowing suite. Another time skip was visible as they stood close, projecting each other

We could all be disciples
They looked shocked that there was more like them. But also... happy.

And we'll write our own Bible
The other three almost laughed at Cross' idea. Making their own rules? No way.

We'll put freaks in the title
The other three stared in doubt as Nightmare smiled at Cross

It's me, you
Io, tu
And moi, vous
Nightmare's smile turned to a smirk as Cross walked to the other side of them.
So if you've had enough, then

Nightmare went into his corrupted form once again
Come to the land of the lost and lonely

Cross looked towards the scared trio, saying
Don't be afraid, we'll be one big family

Sudden realisation hit their faces as they say together.
Of freaks

Nightmare nodded.
Like you and me

Shapes of cracked bones and shattered souls around them once again
I know a place where the bruised and broken

And then came the castle, putting the new trio in shock
Live like the kings and the queens of tragedy

They smiled at each other
Just freaks

Nightmare smiled at the trio with fondess, seeing that they were willing to stay
Like you and me

They all smiled, singing together
We are the freaks

They shortcuted away, with Error coming to the middle of the stage. He sat on the ground as the other come on stage once again, walking in a crescent moon formation to sorround him.
F-R-E-A-K-S

They made a circle around him.
We are the freaks

They circled around him as they sang, Error rising his head with a doubtfull look.

Come to the land of the lost and lonely
Error looked suspicious.

Don't be afraid, we'll be one big family
Error rose a skeletal brow at the word "family"

Of freaks
Like you
And me
Error scoffed at the idea, slightly paranoid

I know a place where the bruised and broken
Error's strings made shapes around his scars from centuries of fighting. Ink gasped at the sight.

Live like the kings and the queens of tragedy
The same strings that traced his scars now made a crown above his head, but he chased them away, still doubtfull.
Just freaks like you and me

They suddenly stopped at a position where Nightmare was in front of him while the others were behind him. Nightmare motioned Error to take his hand.

Come home
Error's eyes widened at the word "home", suddenly giving a teary smile.

Where you can be you, I can be me
Error took his hand, standing up with tears at the edges of his eye sockets

We'll never leave, 'cause we are the freaks
Error suddenly hugged Nightmare, his haphephobia temporarily gone out of relief. Nightmare pat his head with a fond smile

Come home
The others touched his back to comfort him.

Where you can be you, I can be me
Error pulled himself out of Nightmare's grasp, looking at the others
We'll never leave, 'cause we are the freaks

He finally joined the singing, saying the last word alone.
We aRe tHe fReAkS

As the lights turned off, all we could hear were claps and some sobs from the Charas and other Sanses present. When they came down from stage, I hugged Error as Dream hugged Nightmare.

Their pain is over now.
