Your P.O.V.

After dinner, Ink decided to put you three to bed. You snuggled up in the blanket and pillow that you made earlier. "Hey, um, KC? Where did you find that blanket and pillow? I don't recognize them," Ink asked. "Oh, I made it!" you replied, proud of yourself. Ink looked at you with a very confused expression, "What do you mean, you made it?" "My necklace told me to," you said closing your eyes. Ink hovered a minute before saying good night and closing the door. You soon drifted to sleep. A few hours later, you awoke for some reason. And, no matter what you did, you couldn't fall back asleep. It had been about half an hour and you were starting to give up. You started thinking about the events today, and then, that weird stranger. He had said that his name was "Error", which made sense because of the Error signs floating around him. Now, he was all you could think about. You whispered to yourself, "I wish that I could go see him again. Wonder if Ink will let me tomorr-" Your thoughts were interrupted. Your necklace was faintly glowing and floating in front of you. You felt like you had gotten a new energy. With a flick of your wrist, a portal showed up right next to you. Curious, you grabbed your 'bedding' and stepped through.

The portal closed behind you. It took a second for your eyes to adjust. No matter where you looked, it was just white, empty. You were kinda surprised with yourself. 'Shouldn't I be afraid of this place?' you thought, 'I mean it's just empty, why doesn't that concern me?' You quickly dismissed the thought and looked around once more. You were about to call out, when you saw something. It looked like someone sitting on the ground (if you can even call it that). You decided to approach this person. They were wearing mostly black with a little red and dark blue. As you came closer, you realized that it was the skeleton called Error. He was eating a chocolate bar and mumbling to himself. You were about to tap him to get his attention, but for some reason, decided not to. You took it a breath and tried your best not to startle him, "Hello? Are you Error?"

He jumped at the sound and quickly turned towards you. 'So much for trying not to startle him,' you huffed internally. His glitches were going crazy for a few moments and calmed when he realized that it was you. "Um...hey kid? You startled me there." You scratched the back of your neck, "Sorry! I was trying not to! I was actually going to tap your shoulder, glad I didn't. Is this where you live?" Error sounded relieved, but still a little confused. "Nah, its okay I guess. And, ya, I do live here. But uh, how did you get here?" You shrugged, you didn't really know the answer yourself. You tried to explain it to him the best that you could, from when you woke up leading to now. "Ever since I woke up, I haven't been able to fall back asleep......(continue story)" Error listened to your story curiously. "We'll kid, it's pretty late. You should probably go back. The Stars will have my head if they find you with me. You should at least try to get more rest," he suggested. You nodded tiredly and made a spot with your blanket. You were out within a minute.

Error's P.O.V.

The kid's been sleeping for about an hour now. I got lost in thought. 'She's just so confusing. When ever someone else comes here, they are at least uncomfortable in the emptiness, but she seems totally relaxed. It even helped her fall asleep. Speaking of which, how did she even get here?! I'm the only one who can come here on command! I know she told me that story, but it makes no sense! Wait, if she can come here, and she was born/created with magic, does that mean she's my.....' She yawned and sat up, tiredly rubbing her eyes. "HeY-...did YoU haVe a gooD slEep?" I asked as she looked up at me. She nodded her head. "Welp, I should probably take you back to Ink. He's probably freaking-," "No! Can I please stay with you for a little bit? I just really don't want to go back right now!" she screamed/explained/interrupted. She looked very panicked all of a sudden and almost on the ridge of tears. I spoke without thinking, I didn't want her to cry. For some reason, I really cared, and I had no idea why. "Oh, WoAh kId, yoU can sTAy for a litTLE bit! Just pLease SToP CryINg!" I spoke very fast, kinda panicking myself. I took a few breaths and she started to calm down as well.

"How about I take you to Outertale? It's my favorite AU. Let's just relax if you're not gonna go back to sleep." She nodded and reached for my hand. She hesitated a few inches and looked up at me. "Can..- *inhale* Can I hold your hand?" she asked, I noted she was making sure not to touch me without my permission. "Uh, sure kid." She grabbed my hand gently and smiled. 'This kid is so different. What crazy, hyper child asks if they can hold an adult's hand or something like that?' I asked myself as she pulled me through the portal.
