Dream's pov

I slowly open my eyesockets. Today... the sky is different. The clouds are coated over the sky, hiding the mesmerizing light blue glow that had always greeted Nightmare and I when we woke. I... I don't like the grey sky. It feels so dark and scary. I whimper and cuddle closer to Nightmare, who is still sleeping. The sky grows darker, and panic begins to fill up in my skull. Nightmare opens his eyes, his royal purple eyelights flaring to life when he notices my distress. He looks at me with concern.

"Dream- what's wrong?"

"The sky..."

I manage to say, my voice trembling and weak. He looks at me, and gives me a smile of reassurance.

"It's okay, this kind of weather can't hurt you. It doesn't look like it's going to storm..."

He trails off, looking at the sky above. The gloomy weather seems to be putting my twin in a good mood. I sigh in relief.

I had heard about storms from one of my new friends. His name is Aiden. He has shaggy brown hair, parted on the right side so a tuft of hair covers his right eye. He has black- rimmed glasses that are a little to big for his round face, and he has blue eyes that look like water droplets.

He said that when the sky goes grey, sometimes long bolts will shoot down from the clouds, causing destruction. He also said that during a storm thunder would be present. Aiden told me thunder is really loud. It sounds really scary. I don't want to experience that. Suddenly, Nightmare perks up.

"Hey- I know what'll make you feel better!"

He says, looking at me with a bright smile. I look at him questioningly. He stands up. He looks down at me, still smiling, his eyes full of warmth.

"Wanna play tag?"

I begin to feel excited. THAT'S MY FAVOURITE GAME!!

"YEAH!"

I shout with enthusiasm. Nightmare then holds out his hand to help me up and I take it. He pulls me up, then boops my nose.

"Tag, you're it!"

He runs away, laughing. I chase after him, giggles slipping out from my mouth.

"I'm gonna catch you brother! Haha!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

Nightmare said, a smug expression on his pearly face. I chase him around the tree, laughing. I catch up to him and tag him.

"Tag, you're it!"

Nightmare giggled and began to chase me. I hopped over the roots sticking out from under the tree, and I ran across the hill, Nightmare running after me. He stopped running after a minute and was hunched over, panting. I walked over to him.

"Brother are you okay?"

He seems very out of breath from all the running, and I didn't even break a sweat. Huh.

"Y-yeah *huff* I'm *wheeze* great *huff*"

He looked up at me, sweat rolling down his skull, and he looked exhausted.

"Come on, why don't we just sit for a little while?"

He nodded and walked back to the tree and hit his back against the trunk, sliding down it until he was in a sitting position.

He was still panting. I joined him, and sat against the tree.

I looked up into the sky. The clouds went away, and now the beautiful blue sky is back. I'm glad.

I looked over at Nightmare, who seemed to be deep in thought. I then felt a wave of sadness and confusion in Nighty's aura.

"Night... are you alright? Your aura..."

His eyelights dilated and his back stiffened. He closed his eyes and re-opened them, and let out a sigh.

"I'm fine, don't worry!"

He smiled at me, his crown glistening in the sunlight.

"Ah, I'm glad!"

Still, what was with his aura? Eh, probably nothing! Nightmare is strong, he can handle anything! I smiled back at Nightmare. The sun was halfway up in the sky. I'm pretty sure that's called the afternoon.

I'm bored. I just decided to call Nightmare 'Nighty' or Night a few minutes ago. Hmm... I know!

"Nightmare?"

"Yeah?"

He turned his head to face me.

"Wanna make nicknames for each other?"

"Um, what's nickname?"

Luckily for me, my friends told me what a nickname is! They even gave me one! Dreamy.

"A nickname is another name you call someone for fun!"

"Oh. Well in that case... how does Dreamy sound?"

That's already taken by my friends... eh, I'm sure they won't mind Nightmare calling me that as well!

"Sounds good! Can I call you Night and Nighty?"

He scrunched his nosehole.

"Aww, really? Those sound weird."

I playfully glare at him.

"Too bad, I'm calling you those names anyway!"

"Aww, no fair!"

He lightly punched my arm, and I punched him back. Both of us were giggling. We then began to attack each other, rolling around on the ground. Soon, we got exhausted and it became dark outside. Both of us layed on our backs in the grass, staring at the beautiful balls of light in the sky.

"Nighty, what are those called?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Maybe I'll research them tomorrow. Whatever those are... they're beautiful."

"Yeah."

I soon drifted off into a comfortable sleep.
