For Lightreader1

The idea for this story was given to me by my friend Lightreader1. This is a story that we will be working on together! Without her; I could not give this story life!

Frisk speaks in * *

A wide expanse of absolutely nothing.. An endless range that would swallow even the most sound mind whole.

His home.. The White Void.

"Tch.. more like a prison.." Error let out a sigh of regret. He had long since made the agreement with Ink to leave the Alternate Universes alone. To get deserted on that forsaken Island again was not something that he wanted in the near future. Getting stuck there twice was enough for him, specially with how annoyingly optimistic Ink could be.

He was dangling lazily from his blue strings. He had weaved them in a sort of hammock for him to lay in. He reached his hand above his head and stretched out his phalanges. It would be so easy to rip a hole in the fabric of time and switch a few numbers and he could slip into another alternate universe.

"Hmm.. couldn't hurt to just.. take a peek.." He chuckled darkly bringing his arm down in a swiping motion. A tear appeared in front of him. Black and red with Error Error repeated over again. Beyond that he could see a small forest and a tiny town. He used his other hand withdrawing the strings from below him. He hovered briefly before slipping into the other universe.

As he stepped out onto the other side, he noticed he was in a small clearing. There was a small forest to his right that lead what looked like to be MT. Ebbot. To his left was a small town. He squinted slightly not really being able to make out the blurry objects. He didn't really feel like putting on his glasses so he just shrugged and walked towards the town. His image glitching every few steps forward.

As he got closer to the town, the blurry structures finally came into view for him. They were small cottages, and he could see a few Monsters running around outside playing together.
"Hmm.. New New Home if I remember c-correctly." He scrunched his face up; which was impressive as he was a skeleton monster himself. Last time he had checked on this Universe, the human hadn't broken the barrier yet. Looks like things had changed a lot since then.

"Look what happens when you let disgusting trash..continue living.." His sockets turned solid red as he stared intently at the town. He lifted his right hand, and blue strings formed from his phalanges.

"It would be so simple..." He whispered under his breath.

-tap tap-

Something just touched him..

He froze, and a shiver ran over his bones and he dropped his hand to look at what just touched him.

His sockets blanked out completely and he yelped in surprise. His strings coming out to constrict the danger. When he finally focused on the danger, he realized it was a human.
"Hah..hah.. d-don't touch me.." He breathed erratically trying to calm himself down. If he had an anxiety attack right now he would glitch out and it would take him hours before he could recover properly, and being in this universe could put him in danger.

The human was female by the looks of her figure. She was blushing a bright pink being held up by the intrusive strings. Her hair was a long golden brown, and she wore a bright purple long sleeve shirt, and black shorts. She seemed to be waving her fingers in strange ways at him.

It took him a minute to realize that she was signing to him. He squinted at her, trying to remember how to read it.
*I'm sorry for startling you. I have never seen you around, are you new here?* She stopped signing, and smiled brightly at him.

"Tch.." He waved his right hand and his strings disappeared suddenly. The human landed with a loud thud on the grass. She scoffed rubbing her back while glaring up at him.
"Could say that.." He crossed his arms over his chest. She didn't seem to be bothered by his strange appearance. Most would be freaking out by now. His clothes were so black it was like they sucked in the light themselves. His bones were a bright red. He kind of resembled Sans. She tilted her head again, and pushed herself up off the ground.

*Would you happen to be related to Sans, or Papyrus?* She signed quickly and he seemed to be taken a back. A scowl graced his skull and he glitched slightly.

"I'm nothing like t-that loser.." He rolled his eye lights and huffed. "Papyrus isn't so bad though.." He had his own glitch brother at one time, before he was banished to the white void. Since then, he can't seem to pin point his own world. Which was technically just a giant glitch between universes anyway.

She pursed her lips, and then puffed out her cheeks at him in thought. He thought her expression was weird.
'Why am I even bothering with her.. she's just.. ' His thoughts came to halt when she took a few steps closer to him. His sockets widened and his blue and yellow eye lights shrank in size. He took a few steps back. She took more towards him.

"H-Hey! S-Stop that.." He waved his hands around nervously.

She covered her mouth like she was laughing. He could hear airy wisps past her lips and she beamed sweetly at him.

*Are you scared of me?* She wiggled her brows at him playfully. He scoffed and turned his back to her crossing his arms over his chest.

"As if.. I assume your not deaf if you can hear me.. So are you mute?" He glanced over his shoulder narrowing his sockets at her. She clasped her hands behind her back and averted her gaze. He studied her a little more and noticed her eyes were an almost silver blue. Her eye lashes were long, and the way she made them flutter was kind of distracting..
She looked back to him and gave a brief nod of her head.

"Hmph..shame, you look like you'd have a nice voice.." He turned away from her again, and looked towards the town. She blushed a bright pink and wanted to reach out to grasp his jacket sleeve, but pulled her hand back. She remembered how he freaked out earlier when she simply tapped his shoulder.

The sun was beginning to set and he needed to get back to his Void before Ink became aware of his presence. He sighed turning back towards her. She was still blushing and when she saw he was looking at her she flinched back and quickly raised her hands.

*Would you like to come to dinner? My mother makes a great Snail Pie* She stared at him, her eyes were shining brightly.

'What is it with her? She's..so..so..' He hesitated, and she began to fidget with the hem of her shirt. She waited another few seconds for him to respond but he was caught in his thoughts.

*I'm sorry if I was too forward! I don't get to talk to a whole lot of Monsters anymore, and it gets so bonely without someone around!*

He dead pans. "Did you just p-pun me?" He titled his head, and the errors around him flickered slightly. The Sans of this world had ruined her. Shame, she was kind of interesting too.
She covered her face in embarrassment, and then peaked through her fingers at him. His brow bone was arched at her, and his eye lights were of normal size again.

"Names Error.." He mumbled looking back off towards Mt. Ebbot. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to come to this Universe. He had been so bored for so long.. This human seemed okay?
She smiled brightly at him again, and he tried to not stare at her.

*My name is Frisk Dreemurr* She held out a hand towards him for him to shake. He looked down at her hand and began to sweat nervously. She blinked for a second and quickly realized her mistake and jerked her hand back.
*Sorry! I forgot!* Today was not her day.

He stared at her for a moment. Why did that name sound so familiar? Then it snapped. He grinned smugly, then relaxed his posture. She was the savior of Monster kind. The human that broke the barrier and set the Monsters free.

"So your the savior of Monster kind.." He chuckled; watching her through half lidded sockets. When he had first came to the Universe; she was just a shrimp-a little twerp bent on mercy and saving anyone who tried to fight her. He cringed slightly at the thought. Because of all the resets..

"I guess I should be thanking you.. If it weren't for you.. I wouldn't be here.." His grin grew even more smug. She wouldn't know that all the resets caused a glitch and that's how he came to be. A purger of universes that didn't belong.

Frisk gave a nod of her head and had an air of confidence about her. Then after a moment it disappeared and he could sense loneliness and a need for purpose. Something that he could relate to.

"When you said you were lonely.. why is that? I figured the Savior of Monster kind would have plenty of duties and friends? Heh.." He thought for sure the Sans of this universe would be hanging all over her. Where was the loser anyway?

Frisk huffed and blew up at her bangs, then signed a little slower then what she had been previously.

*The Government here said that a fourteen year old couldn't be a representative for Monster kind. They appointed an older woman for the Ambassador position, and I was quickly known as the teenager living with the Queen of the Monsters..* She frowned, and shrugged her shoulders.

*The other Monsters, Papyrus, and Undyne were appointed second hand to Asgore. Alphys and Sans landed jobs with NASA.. So I never get to see them. *
Error swayed back and forth on the balls of his sneakers. Sounds like she just got shoved to the side and was left for not.

"Tough kid.." Error held his mandible for a moment, and snapped his fingers. "Tell ya what.. I have to get back home, but maybe I can stop in again same time tomorrow?"
Something about her intrigued him.

She clapped her hands together excitedly and jumped up.

*That would be great! Do you have a cell phone? Maybe we can swap numbers?* She pulled out a red phone from her back pocket and reached out to hand it to him. Error blinked for a moment, then chuckled and took the phone. He had rigged his phone, she'd be able to reach him, but only because he wanted her to.

He input his number, and handed her phone back to her careful not to touch her fingers. She gave him a thumbs up, and put the phone back in her pocket.
"See ya kid.." He saluted her quickly and he walked off towards the forest. He;d wait until he was out of eye site before tearing open a hole.

Frisk waved at him as he slowly disappeared out of site. She felt happy that she could meet someone new. She'd have to ask Sans if he knew of any other Skeleton Monsters when she got home. He had weird breaks. She turned around and sprinted off towards the town.

Error glanced around once he had hit the edge of the forest. "Good..clear.." He muttered and swung his hand up and a tear opened. He quickly slipped through and back into the white vast expanse.

"Heh.. welcome back.." He told himself. He flopped backwards and a hammock of blue strings caught him. He shut his sockets, and thought of Frisk. He half wondered how the other Frisks in the other Universes were coping..after a few minutes, only snores could be heard echoing against the void..

For the first time in a long time.. He slept soundly.
