"Ughhh there's nothing to dooo!" Ink whined, her legs hanging over the back of the couch. Blue sat on the couch next to her, reading a book. She glared at Ink and raised a brow.

"Why not go to your Doodle Sphere and check on the AUs?" Blue suggested.

"I do that all the time...They'll be fine for a few more hours," Ink replied with a dismissive wave of her hand.

"...Ok. How about you read something?"

"I don't feel like reading right now..."

"How about you get up and clean then?"

"But I don't wanna cleaannn..."

"Go draw, Ink."

"I'm too tired to move and get my stuff, Blue."

Blue put her book down and looked over to me pleadingly. I put a hand to my mouth and giggled at their shenanigans. Blue sighed and got up, realizing she'd get no help from me.

"I'm gonna go clean something, you're driving me nuts," Blue stated as she got up and left the room.

I put down my book and got up as well, straightened out my clothes, and headed for the doorway. "Where're you goin' Dream?" Ink asked, falling over to her side, and sitting correctly onto the couch now.

"I...I was just going for a walk. To clear my head," I said softly. Ink raised a brow and shrugged.

"Aight. Have fun. Just text me if you need help or something." I nodded and teleported away.

I walked into a clearing in Outertale, my hand fiddling with the small belt around my wrist.

I sensed negative feelings here...From what I know, it's possible Error could come here. It might be him. I kinda hope it is him. I want to help. I want to know why he does what he does and maybe...just maybe, I could change his mind?

I stood at the edge, looking down into the abyss of stars. Colors of purples, blues, and yellows mixing below and around me. My thoughts trailed off as the silence settled in. Just for fun I called out into the abyss, wondering if it'd echo.

"Hello!" I grinned as the echoes of "hello" sounded around the cliffs.

I felt a pebble below my feet crumble from the sound. I stared wide eyed in front of me as I lost my balance, my body tipping over the edge. "No, no, NONONONONO- A-AH HELP- HELP-!!" I yelled out, flailing my arms for anything to hold onto.

Suddenly, I felt something tight wrap around my torso, pulling me roughly from the edge. I fell onto my side, back on solid ground, my arms tied behind my back. I looked up, my breathing still frantic, and was met with my rescuer.

"You're asking for death leaning over that far," Error said, giving me a frown of mild distaste. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"I-I sensed negative feelings...I came to check it out a-and to see if I could help..." I said, trying to steady my heartrate and breathing. I wincing as the strings became tighter; Error's glare hardened.

"What can you help with?" He asked.

"A-anything, please, I want to help, p-please let me help, p-please."
