The idea was originally found in A_Bored_Reader Undertale ideas for stories that hit me like the brick called Reborn! I asked permission to use it. Read the original if you're interested, but it contains quite a few spoilers for this story.

Some time ago, I published a 1chapter story called Goth's Biggest Prank, if you're interested, check it out.
Warnings: Flashbacks, not so kind representation of Life and Sky, a little insight into Nightmare and Error/Goth's past, mistreatment and hurtful words.]
The music stopped and Sky draw everyone's attention, by tapping the bottom of his scepter to the floor.

The majority watched in fascination as the lights filled the lanterns with life. Each wraith chose its own lantern, for example one glowing in golden light chosen Star's. While a red flame moved in Geno's, and a tiny silver light chose to move into Goth's. Life's lantern was occupant by a greenish light, while Mercy's was chosen by a gentle blue one, while Chaos's was occupant by a gray more smoke-like entity.
The scene was followed by some applause, before everyone took their lanterns and headed for the open doors leading to the courtyard. Star had mixed feelings because of the entity, that moved into his lantern... But he followed the crowd, which moved out into a harmonious silence. The majority stopped in a circle of familiar faces, at one point in the yard. Everyone immersed themselves, quoting memories, thoughts, and good wishes to their lanterns. But there were also those who added a small message to their lantern or burned it in their lantern before letting it go.
The signal was given by the small flame creatures coming out of the lanterns, after which everyone released their lanterns with more or less delay.

As he let go of his lantern, Nightmare thought back to a few moments in his life that had led him to this point. Before his transformation, when it was just him and Dream against the world. The never-ending game in nature, where Dream and he both laughed and played around the tree. Then the Villagers came and Nightmare didn't just hide his wounds from Dream anymore. The secret violin lessons, as he tried to teach himself with a stolen violin from a second-hand book. How he had to hide the fragile instrument in the forest.
