You were following along in Language class. You were going over how things can change when translated. 
"We are going to have a group project now. You will have two weeks to find, translate, and film yourself doing a scene from an influential play. It has to be in Spanish, French, Italian or German. Also I will be choosing the groups so no one fights over partners. You'll be in pairs." Ms. Bossé said. You look around and see your friends all looking at you. You ended up being paired with Red. Dream and Nightmare were paired as well as Sans and Rus. "None of the others will see your projects so you may dress appropriately for your play." You teacher looks at you with a small smile. You'd refused to have any video of you without long sleeves to be shown to others.
Red sits pulls up a chair to your desk. "Well sweetheart, I was thinkin. Spanish would be the easiest for us to do together."
"True since you're so proficient in it. You have to use proper grammar though." He scowls at that. Then grins widely. 
"Let's do Romeo and Juliet." He says and you stare at him in a challenging manner. Gaster had mended your arm enough this morning for you to have your cast off. Theres nothing more he can do for your ribs though. 
"Why sure Romeo. Let's do the balcony scene." He blushes and you rest your head on your arm. "What's wrong? Scared lover boy?"
"N-no way! Just didn't think you'd want that. Let's film it tonight" He says, blush just getting darker. You raise your hand. 
"Yes, (Y/N)?"
"May I go use my phone for a couple of moments? I promise not to be long. I just need to call my aunt about something." She hums and nods.
"Of course, Red please accompany (Y/N) while she uses her phone."
"Yes ma'am." Red says and you both stand outside the door and you bring up Clover's number. "What're you doin?"
"Calling her to bring me a costume." You hit the call button. "Oh right, no tutoring today gotta talk to…. CQ after school." Red starts to answer but your aunt does first.
"(Y/N) patent you supposed to be in class?"
"I got permission to call you. Red is out here with me."
"Ah okay, what's going on?"
"Him and I were partnered up for a project and he suggested getting it done today."
"What type of project?"
"A filmed translated play scene. Can you bring my masquerade costume and the makeup to go with when you come for the meeting?"
"Wait, you mean the off the shoulder, "I'll never wear that" costume?" You blush at her words.
"Yes that costume only because it has to look like I'm in the play…"
"Sure thing. Tell the boys I say hi."
"I will. Love you." You end the call and look at Red who was grinning. "Auntie says hi. Also… do you mind coming to the meeting with me later? I'm nervous about it…"
"Of course will. Ya never hafta ask." You both go back into the classroom and talk more about the project. At lunch you were discussing the project more when suddenly you remember something important. 
"Blue, Dream?" You say their names and they both turn to you. "You can stop ignoring Ink now. We talked things over last night. Also. " you snicker softly as you pull up a picture. It was Ink blushing in embarrassment as his mom and your aunt fawn over him at supper. "I managed to snap this. It was so funny to see in person." You laugh and everyone laughs too. Suddenly arms wrapped around your torso and you freeze. You didn't know who was hugging you but you were freaked. 
"What's cookin good lookin?" An unknown voice asked.
"My god Lust. Let her go." Red growls. You look at him with pleading eyes. "She has broken ribs for cryin out loud." The arms let you go and you scoot closer to Sans with teary eyes. 
"Oh my gosh I didn't know! I'm so sorry cutie. Did I hurt you?" You shake your head and Sans hugs you close to him. "Did I scare you?"
"Well damn Lust, who wouldn't be scared of you. You're almost as bad as G at times."
"Classic don't you know its rude to talk about others when they're listening?" You hear an oddly familiar voice and you look across the table to see G. He sees your tears falling and reaches a hand across the table to wipe them away but you flinch back violently and gasp softly. "You okay there dove?" You nod and start coughing softly.
"Starshine, calm down. You're gonna hurt yourself. G isnt gonna hurt you." Sans says as he strokes your hair.
"I-I'm okay…. just hurting some…." you mumble. 
"Need some of your pain meds?" Rus asks you concerned and you shake your head no.
"J-just give me a minute…." you say a little louder since the pain was starting to subside. 
"Gosh, he really did a number on you." Lust says and you close your eyes tightly and cling to Sans.
"Is everything okay here?" You hear Ink's voice and you jump up to hide behind him. He chuckles slightly and looks at the two others. "You two giving this little ball of sunshine a problem?" Sans blinks and you huff.
"What have I told you about calling me little?"
"Well you are so blah." Ink says as he grins and leans down to your eye level. 
"And like you're all so tall and mighty." You sass him back with a grin. You both start laughing before you give Ink a quick shove and hide behind Sans. Everyone stares at you shocked.
"Looks like things are back to Normal huh?" Sans says and you giggle. 
The end of the day comes and you make your way to your locker. Suddenly Inks scarf is wrapped around your neck.
"Why are you putting this on me?" You ask him with a curious look.
"To keep Geno and Fresh away?"
"They wont touch me, I'm bringing my own backup." You throw his scarf at him and continue onto your locker while chatting with him to see Red. You run over and hug him. 
"Ey, sweetheart. Clover is waitin downstairs with a big bag for ya."
"I know, let me put my books away." You open your locker and put things away. Red grabs your hand and wave to Ink as you go down to the lobby. You see your aunt talking to another woman and behind her Geno and Fresh are there. You squeeze Red's hand and he pulls you closer.
"Mom." Geno says and everyone looks at you. Red wraps his arm around your waist and you grab his jacket.
"Ah, (Y/N) you're here." CQ says. You nod as your aunt comes to you.
"Auntie…. let Red come with us…. I'll feel safer with him there……" you say in a near whisper. She looks at your panicked eyes 
"Red, keep her calm." He hums in agreement as CQ and the other two skeleton boys come closer. "Do we need to go somewhere more private?"
"No, here is okay. (Y/N), I just wanted to apologize to you for my son's actions last week. I know nothing I can say will make you feel any better or anything like that but I truly had no idea that he would do something like that. The police have been trying to understand what would have caused this but they have no clue….." she sighs and look back at her other two sons. "Please don't hold it against them. They were so surprised to see what their brother did…."
You smile at her slightly. "Ms, CQ…. I…. I don't know what to say…. most nights I wake up screaming from night terrors of that incident….. but I'll say this, I would never hold that against the other two. They aren't responsible for his actions, neither are you. Hes old enough now to know better." You wipe your eyes of tears. "Broken bones are bendable, if it had been even a slight bit worse….. or I hadn't been found when I was…. " you shudder and hug Red again. 
"I understand….." she says.
"But, I'd like to keep in contact with you. To try to understand why what happened happened. Is that fair?" She nods and you smile. "Red, should we get going to do that project?"
"If that's what ya want sweetheart."
"Let's do that, it'll be relaxing." You take the bag from Clover and you hug her. "Be back later." She hugs you back.
"Red, bring her back safe, okay?"
"Always do." He says and you go back to him. "Let's take a shortcut." He takes your hand and teleports away. You're teleported to a messy room. Sighing you start to straighten up.
"Red if you wanna film it here you'll have to help me clean up." He groans softly but reluctantly agrees. After around 20 minutes you have a good space for recording. "Let me change. I'll need about 10 minutes to get ready, okay?" He nods and goes down stairs. You start to get changed and to it fast.
