She sat up. She heard Scootaloo scream downstairs. She quietly creeped out of bed to not disturb Apple Bloom. She opened the door a crack and the voices from downstairs floated up to her.

"kid? are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's just, I had a nightmare."

"oh,okay"

"You gave me a heart attack Scoots!"

"Sorry Star but I don't control what I dream, somepony else does..."

"wait, what?"

"Sans, what does the name Apple Charm tell you?"

"w-what? w-what do y-you m-mean, k-kid?" Sans' eyes went dark.

"I mean, when you were 17 what did she tell you?"

"I have no clue what you're talking about..." The baby blue eye was back.

"Then why are you're eyes like that, why do you have that permanent smile?"

"Kid, this happens when I'm upset, you're accusing me of giving you a nightmare, now I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."

"Why did you kill Apple Charm!"

"I didn't kill Apple Charm! I couldn't kill her! She- She- She died."

"So you do know who she is."

"No, really? It's not like she got murdered before my very eyes!"

Sweetie stood shell-shocked as the conversation went quiet. Everyone was too shocked to speak. She soon became aware of an whimpering in the room. Apple Bloom was having a nightmare. As if on instinct, Sweetie pulled the violin out of her box and began to play a song. One Pinkie had taught her in her free time. One song that the Apple Family sung on their road trips...

We travel the road of generations.
Joined by a common bond.
We sing our song 'cross the pony nation,
From Equestria and beyond.

We're Apples forever, Apples together.
We're family, but so much more.
No matter what comes, we will face the weather.
We're Apples to the core.

There's no place that I'd rather be.
Than travelin' with my family.
Friends all around come to join and see.
As we sing out across the land.

We're Apples forever, Apples together.
We're family, but so much more.
No matter what comes, we will face the weather.
We're Apples to the core.

We're peas in a pod, we're thick as thieves.
Any cliché you can throw at me.
We're here for each other, through thick and thin.
You're always welcome with your Apple kin. Wheee!

You're more fun than the color pink, or
Balloons flying over your favorite drink.
The love I feel here is swim, not sink.
As we party across this land.

We're Apples forever, Apples together.
We're family, but so much more.
No matter what comes, we will face the weather.
We're Apples to the core!

Apple Bloom rolled over and quieted down as she fell into a peaceful slumber. Sweetie smiled as she collapsed on the bed. That song was right, they'd be alright if they stayed together.

{Sans POV}

He cursed himself, great what now? And then he heard it. Something he hadn't heard in years. That same melody on that same violin but not by the same person. He blocked out all the noise and focused on the song. Tears welled up in his eyes as his left eye stung, the blue flame licking at his face. He was getting emotional but it was hard not to.

Apple Charm had been a great friend and she was gone now, HE was gone and all that was left was Papyrus. He teleported. He'd just wait in the shadows and never talk to any of them ever again. It was better that way. No one would have a bad time.
