chapter 16

Ink P.O.V.

We plopped out of the puddle of paint, "ewWw!" Error complained while rubbing paint off his clothes "don't worry it'll wash away....maybe." I whispered the last part. Error scoffed "wElL if bEtTer! AlsO wherE aRE wE?"

"Oh! Welcome to the doodle sphere error!" I chirped. "It's a place filled with many different islands representing many different AU's! I thought here might be a good place to start." "SEems oK." "Do you know were they might have gone to 'get' food?" I asked. "ProbAbLy thE cLasSic pAciFist tiMelinE." He answered while shrugging.

"K, that would probably be a good place to start." I took his hand ripping open a portal, as we entered inside the canon universe.

We jumped out, the portal quickly closing behind us. We were in the middle of a green lush forest. "Remember stay low, we don't want to cause any attraction, and disturb the timeline" error simply nodded.

We trotted through the forest, soon finding our way onto the small pathway of dirt. It's been a few minutes of walking, til we came across something. We stopped in our tracks.

In front of us, the earth was churned, an glorious oak tree had been cracked and laid in the path. Bone attacks stuck every were followed by splatters of crimson coloured blood. "This must have been were they were attacked." I guessed. "SeEmS BruTaL" I slowly walked forward, kneeling down, something caught my eye. A strange black substances splattered on the ground. I scooped it up, examining it. My gaze flickered over to error, who was standing behind me "look familiar to you?" I asked, "nO, NeVer SeEn anYthInG likE it."

Error P.O.V.

"Hmmm. Maybe I should a-" ink cut off, we stared ahead a rustle was heard in the greenery. I quickly summoned one of my error blasters, aiming at were the noise came from. As the blaster opened its skeletal jaw, a beam of light shot out, demolishing the greenery. Ink looked at me, his expression unreadable.

"Error! You don't just shoot upon a small noise! For all we know you could've hit a bunny! Or some other sort of c-" I didn't really listen to him, my gaze kept on were I shot my error blaster. I squinted my eye sockets, trying to focus but my terrible eye sight wasn't helping much.

"Ink quiEt." I told him, he silenced, I started to see movement, the black substance that was on the ground slowly began to pull its self towards were I shot. "☟❍❍📬 😐♏♏■ ⬧♏■⬧♏ ♐□❒❍♏❒ ♎♏⬧⧫❒□⍓♏❒📬 ☝□⧫ ⧫□ ⬧♋⍓ ✋🕯❍ ♓❍◻❒♏⬧⬧♏♎📬"

I looked towards ink we were getting ready to attack, I sprinted forward, the royal blue strings leaking from my face, my grabbed onto them flinging them towards my target, trying to grab their soul.

The strings completely went through their black-gopped body. No soul was located inside them. I was genuinely surprised "whAt thE-" I was caught off guard as I felt them grip onto my strings, yanking them. I flew forward. "Error!" I heard ink shout, as he ran forward with his broomstick. I was pinned to the ground,

I squirmed under their grip, I gazed up to see the melting, disturbingly looking Gaster. The weird thing was they were glitching. Anger bubbled inside of me. I clenched my fist, punching them in the face, but my skeletal hand just went through.

In the corner of my vision, I saw ink jump forward and whack them across the back with his broomy. It kinda worked...key word 'kinda' the black goop that made up their body, grossly splattered everywhere. I used it as my chance, I jumped to my feet running beside ink, I wiped the Gross black goo off my clothes.

We waited for a moment, the substance slowly crawled back together, I whispered to ink "wE shOuld fleE...I dOn'T thInk wE caN wIn thIs riGht nOw..."

I could see the painter, hesitate before slowly nodding, I opened a portal, ink ran through I gave one glance to the strange gaster. "✡□◆ ❍♋⍓ ❒◆■ ♋⬧ ♐♋❒ ♋⬧ ⍓□◆🕯♎ ●♓&♏📪 ♌◆⧫ ✋🕯●● ♐♓■♎ ⍓□◆ ♋■♎ ⬥♒♏■ ✋ ♎□📪 ♓⧫🕯⬧ □❖♏❒📪 ♐□❒ ⧫♒♏ ♌□⧫♒ □♐ ⍓□◆ ♋■♎ ⍓□◆❒ ◻♋⧫♒♏⧫♓♍ ♐❒♓♏■♎⬧📬📬📬"

Chills went down my spine, I ran through. We were outside of nightmare's mansion. I got to my feet, I lended out my hand to ink. He gripped onto it, as I pulled him to his feet.

"WelL I bEtteR rEpoRt to NighTmarE." Ink nodded, he walked to the castle entrance.

Ink P.O.V.

We quietly walked to the gateway, i stared at the broken door, "you go on ahead error, i'll fix the door that blue broke." I explained, grabbing out one of my smaller paint brushes. "alriGhT, i'Ll gO teLl nigHtmAre thE NeWS." I gave him a thumbs up, followed with a smile. He walked Inside the mansion.

I sighed, using my paint brush to fix the hole, and cracks on the door, just as I finished fixing the door I heard a sudden angry voice "what!? So you just ran away, while that 'thing' is still out there!?!" I walked indoors, peeking around the corner of a wall in the kitchen, to see nightmare who was holding cross close by, scolding error.

"NoT mY faUlt thAt 'ThiNg' wAs toO strOnG." Error sassily remarked, Nightmare let out a frustrated sigh. "Alright if its really as bad as you say, do you think it'll still be in the canon universe tho?" "I dOubT iT." Error responded flatly.

I walked towards error, he gave a simple wave. I gazed around I could see dust and blue on the couch together, asleep. I heard muffled singing coming from the closet. I immediately recognized it as the star sans's theme song, I walked towards it, turning the door handle slowly with a creak to reveal dream sitting with...killer?

"Hai ink!" He enthusiastically greeted me. "Sup." Killer casually added. "So! Were did you go? I was curious for your disappearance!" He chirped. "Uhh. We'll talk about this later..." "Alrighty! Bai ink!" "Seeya dream." I closed the door, to leave dream alone with killer.

I walked to the couch, error was sitting alone playing with his strings. Plopped right down beside him. I sighed, "what are we gonna do about this issue?" I gently asked error. He was silent for a moment "I hOnesTly doN't knOw ink, bUt unTil thEn wE shOuld bE caRefUl." He gazed at me. I nodded in agreement.

We were both silent, everyone around were busy or upstairs. I decided to maybe try stir up a conversation with error. "Error?" "YeA ink?" He plainly answered still toying with his strings. "Back then, why didn't you choose to leave, and stay with me?" Error stopped playing with his strings, he was silent.

I was about to press on with more questions. Til all of a sudden I felt him grip tightly onto the front of my tan and beige scarf. "Error! wha!-" the former destroyer cut me off, as he pulled me into a loving kiss. my eye lights were narrowed in small pinpricks in surprise.

Til I slowly melted into the kiss. After a few seconds we pulled away for air. I stared at error, his face was completely dusted in a bright yellow blush. "There's your answer inky."

I didn't break eye contact. "Error...your voice, its not glitching." Error did not say anything, silence was broken by a loud screech

"FINALLY!" everyone said at once and I mean everyone that include the entire nightmare gang and blue and dream.

We both jolted in surprise. Sufficed to say we were pretty embarrassed. I grabbed errors hand quickly and teleported inside the closet. I stared at him, we were both quiet "error? D-do you like me? Not in the friend way..." He tired to look at me. "Y-yes...but that was stupid of me... I mean why would you evEr bE inTresTed iN sOme misTakE likE mE."

I clenched my fist, slapping error across the face, not hard but enough to make him silent "I don't ever want to hear you call yourself that again error!..." I sternly half shouted, error visibly flinched "wh-whAt?" "A mistake... I don't want to Ever hear you call yourself that again!" I was silent, before quietly speaking "and...I like you too error..."

Error smiled, I pulled him into a hug. We were rudely interrupted by a sudden chanting outside of the closet "date! Date! Date! Date!"

Error slammed the door open "qUieT!" He shouted. Some silenced, while others giggled. "Just go on a date already! You confessed, and you both love each others its logical!" Night explained from the crowd.

I sighed looking up at error "glitchy? Would you like to go on a date?.." Error had a genuine smile upon his face. "hEh Of course shorty."
