-Chapter Start-

-Error, Day three of Ink not leaving his room-

Error sniffed, little tears coming out. He does not how long he has sat by Ink's door, only that it has been a long time. In light and dark he sat, waiting for Ink to come out and give him a smile on his face saying he has a new lesson plan. But by now he was loosing hope that it would happen.

'I miss Fresh...' Error curled up tighter, arms wrapping around himself to try and mimic the warmth that Fresh's held. 'He wouldn't have done this...Does Ink hate me now?'

All he can think of is what Fresh said about Ink, how he was lying or not as he seems. But how can that be? Error knew he needed to ask Ink, but how can he when he doesn't have time for him?

More tears fell as he tried to push the doubts away, trying to imagine that he was not all alone again.

Trying to ignore the little voice in his head whispering 'Ink is just like the Voices, he never wanted you. He's showing his real colors.'

-With Fresh, Day Four-

"And...Done!" Fresh huffed, dusting off his hands. "Part one of my radical plan is hella done! A home that my Glitch Heart needs is ready and waitin'!"

Fresh knew he couldn't corrupt a AU and have Error live in it, it would just crumble and make him have to move Error too many times. He deserves a better home then that! So Fresh had to do this the slow and less fun way if he didn't want Ink to notice that something is going wrong in a AU, by killing them all by hand and putting the human's SOUL in a container like the others to make sure nothing resets.

By doing that, Ink will not feel anything wrong. The code is fine and still running, nothing has been corrupted. And with the SOUL contained and all the Monsters dusted, no one can mess with the timeline. All Fresh had to do was put the SOUL with the others to make sure nothing else could happen.

But the most important part, the part that Fresh had to think really hard on, was what AU should he pick for this important role. He didn't want to pick one that Error would hate or scare him, he had to love it and be happy in it!

Some he crossed off fast. Like DustTale, HorrorTale, UnderFell and even the normal UnderTale. It had to be special, something different. Then it hit him, Error loves all kinds of colors. He gushed about them, looked at all the different colored crayons and markers like they were precious jewels. So Fresh picked a AU that held a lot of bright colors, especially the castle as that would be their home.

Now UnderKeep-5 was empty and cleaned of all the dust and blood, ready to move in.

"Totes radical!" Fresh grinned to himself as he looked at the light pink tile and colorful walls. The heart shaped windows adding another touch that Fresh knew Error will love. All the items were so delicate and so colorful, not to mention all of the clothing! Fresh made a note to himself to clean out what used to be the King's closet, none of those would fit Error anyway. But he would leave all the jewels and accessories just in case, his glitchy babe deserved all the finer things in life after all. "I did a hella good job!"

Fresh made one last sweep around the whole AU, to make sure all the buildings were intact - they were much too colorful for him to get rid of, Error would love it! Fresh wanted the AU whole for Error to enjoy. He wanted to give Error the whole AU to him, and a broken gift and home does not leave a good impression. -, and made sure there was no dust piles or blood left around from his mission. After that was done, it was on to phase two.

"I hope ya got enough rest Ink~" Fresh chuckled as he made a portal. "Cause round two is about to begin~"

-With Error, Day Six-

Error's sockets were now a darken red, no lights in them. Tears no longer falling, he had ran out of them hours ago. He slumped on the door, just sitting there lifelessly. He hadn't moved from his place in the last six days, hoping that Ink would come out.

Just as Error sighed and was about to give up, movement was heard in the other room! It sounded like someone had just quickly rolled out of bed and was scurrying to the door. Error gave a gasp, eyes coming back and lighting up. 'Ink is finally coming out! He didn't forget me! He didn't abandon me!' He backed up from the door at the perfect time, because not a second later it busted open.

Ink was sound asleep, bones finally relaxed when he felt it again. The horrible chill going down his back, the sickening feeling in his SOUL. It seems Fresh has decided to continue what he had done last time, it really looks like he started a new game. Without anther thought Ink shot up and out of bed, quickly grabbing his paint brush he shot for the door. He had to get to the AU's! 'Hopefully this time I can beat Fresh at this new game and get to him before he can get away!'

"iNK!?" Error gasped out when Ink didn't even look at him. Ink was running for the door! Error quickly scrambled up and reached out, taking a hold of Ink's large, paint stained scarf. Ink choked and jerked back while Error nearly fell flat on his face.

Ink turned with a shocked face, but once he saw Error he frowned. "Error! You need to let go!" Ink tugged at his scarf, but Error refused to let go. "What has gotten into you?!" 'I need to hurry! What if Fresh destroys even more then last time?!'

"WhERe aRE yOU gOiNG?" Error asked instead, trying to understand why Ink would not even pay him any attention anymore. Did he do something wrong? "yOU pRoMISeD-!"

"Error I do not have time for this!" Ink cut him off, a stern glare starring into Error's saddened eyes. "I have a job I need to do right now!"

"WhAT JoB!?" Error finally screamed. He had no idea what was going on anymore. Why did Ink suddenly have to leave for days, then come back only to ignore him, and then leave again?! What kind of job let's him do that? "YoUr NoT TElLiNg ME anYTHiNG! I DOn'T USNdERSTAnD!"

"I am the creator!" Ink finally snapped, all the worry and anger building up and spilling over. He had no time for this, he could still hear the choked screamed of those Monsters. "I have created every AU, I made everything! And now I need to go check on them!"

Error froze, eyes going small. "Y-YoU mAdE eVERyTHiNG...?" Error questioned in a whisper.

"YES!" Ink screamed back. It made Error jerk by how familiar it sounded. "I made the codes! The Monsters! Hell, I even made the environment in it!" Ink then sharply tugged his scarf out of a frozen Error's hold. The smaller skeleton gave a gasp of pain as the tug made him fall harshly to the floor.

"You are acting like a spoiled brat!" Error's sockets watered, eyes trained on the ground, afraid to look up at Ink. "Just stay here until I get back! I'll deal with you then! I do not have the time for you!"

'You'r worthless!'

'I don't have the time for you! Stop your whining!'

'Awww~ Crying like a spoiled little brat~'

'Why would any one want you!?'

Error didn't even hear Ink leave and slam the door, he could only hear the Voices screaming at him again. 'Ink made everything...?' Tears hit the wooden floor. 'Does that mean...He made me?!'

Ink's screaming sounded just like the Voices, he admitted to having made everything. Error's mind was racing. "A-Am I JUSt a TOY tO hIM?!" Error sobbed out, pain flaring in his chest. "wHy DId hE LEaVE mE iN tHE wHITe ONlY tO dO thIS?! To TAKe mE In aND tEaCH ME?!" Error gagged, trying to think on everything. "IS iT bECAuSE i cAN'T cREATE?...Am I ReALLy ONLy a ErRROr?...A gLITcH?"

'I can't stay here!' Error was shot with the realization. Ink said he would 'deal with him' when he gets back. 'He'll send me back to the white room when he gets back!' Hyperventilating, his mind went into over drive to find a solution to this. Going back to that room with the Voices was the worst thing that could happen to him.

"Totes been radical my lil' glitch heart, call for me if ya need me~"

'Fresh!' That's right! Fresh wouldn't let anything happen to him...Right? Fresh's nothing like Ink, even admitted that they never got along. Without a second thought Error screamed out in a panic, fear overriding everything else.

"FRESH!" Error screamed out with all his might, falling down into panicked sobs. "FrEsH! PlEaSE, FrESH! I NeED YOu-!"

His sockets shot open when warm hands cupped his face. With a gasp Error's head shot up, making his eyes meet sockets that held a upside down heart along with a normal eye. "Ya called my glitch heart?" Fresh gave a small smile, only for it to fall when he saw Error's face. "Whut happened?"

Sobbing, Error threw himself onto Fresh. Warm arms wrapped around him, one hand rubbing his back in comfort. The other hand went to his chin, forcing him to look up. Serious eyes drilled into his. "Error? Whut is goin' on?"

"I-INk iS GOinG To mAKE mE GO bACk tO tHE wHITe RoOM!" Fresh froze, but Error paid it not attention. Dark hands tipped with red and yellow grabbed onto the others jacket, desperate eyes looked up as tears streaked down. "pLEaSE FreSH! DoN'T LEt hIM TaKE mE!" Error broke down in sobs, hands tightly holding onto the colorful jacket, not even noticing the fingers trapping his chin in place get tighter.

Fresh's eyes darkened, his SOUL burning yet going cold at the same time. When he planned this part, he figured that Ink would snap and make Error see that Fresh was the better option. Not threaten to send him back to a place worse then death! He had no idea that it would happen this soon though, Fresh honestly thought he would have to do this a few more times before Ink did something stupid.'It seems Ink is showing his real self sooner rather then later.'

He did the same thing as he did the last time, plant the virus and make Ink go on a wild goose chase. Fresh was waiting for him to leave, wanting to spend the next few hours with Error - Fresh didn't plant one that would make him go for days like the last one, no he was going to only corrupt only a few that should only take a few hours to save, and then make the next longer then the last. Paranoia was going to work in his favor. -, only to knock and get no answer. With a shrug he opened the door and walked in, only to still. Error was crumpled on the floor, shaking. Then he heard him scream, screaming for him.

'While this may not be what I planned...' Fresh leaned down and captured Error's lips with his own. Muffling Error's cries as he did so. 'It still works in my favor!' But that still didn't mean that Fresh wasn't going to show Ink one hell of a Radical Time.

Only when Error's crying stopped did Fresh pull away from the kiss. Error sniffed, sockets weary and saddened, a few tears still sliding down his cheeks. To Fresh, Error looked like a crying angel that needed to be protected at all times. "FrEsH?" Error softly asked. "wHaT iS GOInG tO haPPeN tO ME?"

Hands quickly lifted up. Error just rested his head on Fresh's chest as he was carried bridal style to his room. "Don' ya worry glitchy, I won't let him take ya." Fresh looked down as he kicked open the bedroom door. "Ya can chill at my crib from now on~"

Dark hands suddenly shot up and gripped Fresh's face, making him back paddle and fall on his butt right in front of Error's room. Error just gave a relived giggle, bringing Fresh's down to his. Fresh could feel his SOUL tingling and dancing, his face turning a bright purple. Error gave a grin. "YOu wIlL lEt mE sTAy wITh YOu?!" Error's eyes darkened for a moment. "...YoU wOn'T gEt tIreD oF ME oR ABAndoN Me?"

Fresh lightly placed a hand over Error's, gently holding it in place over his cheek. "I promise ya, I will never get tired of ya." Fresh leaned down slightly to peck the others lips. "Ya make me so happy...You are my happiness! If I abandoned ya, I would be abandoning being happy!" Error lightly giggled as Fresh nuzzled into his hands. "So whut do ya say my Glitch Heart, will ya stay with me?"

"YeS!" Error laughed, fears and doubts leaving him like they were never there. Fresh's face was over taken with a wide grin, eyes sparkling. "Totes mean it?! This is going to be so freshly radical!" The smaller one gasped as he was suddenly showered with little kisses all over his face. "We're goin' to have so much fun~"

It took only a hour to pack up what Error wanted to take with him. All the coloring supplies, his set of pajamas, his school books and story books - even though Fresh told him he had a lot of different books in their new home-, and the pictures he drew lining his wall. Fresh had raided Ink's room and found a travel bag they could fit everything in, that way they didn't have to make more then one trip.

Fresh grinned to himself as he listened to Error packing in his room. He peeked into Ink's room one last time, seeing all the paintings and drawings. 'Error's pictures are better...' Then a thought hit Fresh, making his grin have a edge to it. With a laugh he walked in and shut the door, it shouldn't take him too long.

Error never payed any attention to the sounds of things breaking as he packed away his scribbles and drawings away careful into the bag. Making sure that none of them would wrinkle or get ripped.

Soon they were both in front of a colorful portal that Fresh made. Error glanced back at the cottage one more time, biting his lip. This had been his first home...But was it really a home? Maybe it was just another white room, only colored to look harmless? Ink was the maker of the Voices after all, the one to stick him in the white room. So why did he feel sad that he was leaving?

"Error?" Error jolted out of his thoughts. He quickly looked up at Fresh's worried smile. "Ya okay bruh?"

With a nod, Error latched onto Fresh's arm. Making Fresh worried smile turn into a more happy one. "yEp...I'm JUST wOrRIEd aBOuT InK..." Error admitted softly. Fresh grinned, shifting the travel bag he had over his shoulder. "Ya leave the worrin' ta me bruh! I won't let anythin' happen to my lil' glitch heart~"

Without another word, Fresh lead Error through the portal to their new home.

-UnderKeep 5, Right Outside The Castle -

A pink castle with heart windows glistened in the light. Rose bushes of every color lined the walk way. A grand set of steps lead up to the doors, dramatically decorated. Error gasped at seeing the huge building in front of him. He quickly looked behind him, seeing the large gate way that was now opened. He could see the bright colors of other buildings, all bright colors mixing in with some softer ones, making a beautiful rainbow.

Fresh chuckled as he lead Error up the stairs and into the castle. The foyer was a light pink, mixing with other light colors. The grand stair way and everything sparkled. Elaborate paintings, fabrics and pictures lined the walls. The tiles were heart shaped, making Error gasp in delight. "This is gonna be our new home! This whole place, and the one's outside too, are yours." Seeing Error's bright happy expression made the whole thing worth it.

His SOUL jumped for joy when Error tugged him down and kissed him. "THaNK yOu~"

-With Ink, A Few Hours Later-

Ink sighed, feeling a bit tired. But at least it wasn't as much as last time. It made him wonder what was going on in Fresh's head. Then Ink shivered, he didn't want to know Fresh's thought processes.

But Ink had something important to do right now.

Right after he left Error, Ink knew he was in the wrong. He made a comment to watch over Error, he promised to! And what did he do? Snap as soon as he got tired, leave him alone for hours on end, and not help him at all. Did Error even eat when he was sleeping those days away? Ink shook his head as he opened the front door, he knew the answer was 'no.'. And that only made him more disgusted with himself.

"Error?" Ink called out when he walk into the living room. Once he saw no one there, he started to head to Error's room. "Error! Can you come out? I just want to talk to you." Ink lightly knocked on the door. He waited a few moments, only to get silence. He sighed, rubbing the back of his head. 'Maybe I should give him some time to cool off. I did hurt his feelings after all...' With that he headed for his room. 'Maybe I should bake a cake later for a apology? He's never had anything solid or sweet yet.'

The small smile that was growing on his face fell into horror once he opened his door.

All his paintings and drawings were torn and broken, paints splattered everywhere, his bed flipped and torn, his carpet stained and window shattered. But that wasn't what made his SOUL freeze.

On the wall, spray painted a bright purple, was written 'HE IS MINE NOW!'.

"ERROR!? COME OUT RIGHT NOW!" Ink screamed out hysterically. Feet pounded across the wooden floor as Ink booked it back to Error's door. "PLEASE! ERROR!?" Ink shakily knocked on the door once more, knocks getting harsher and harsher when no one answered. "E-Error?! Please come out! I'm sorry!"

When one one answered, Ink decided enough was enough. He went to open the door, only to find it locked. Worry and panic started building up in his SOUL. "Error!?" Ink slammed his body into the door with a grunt, making the door burst open. "Error I-!" Ink started only to choke when he was met with a empty, cold room.

'His drawings are gone.' Ink thought to himself blankly. All the colorful scribbles that lined the wall were no longer there, his books gone, and after ripping open the closet, his pajamas that Ink made for him were gone too. Without another thought, Ink shot out of the room calling, begging for Error to come out and stop playing.

"ERROR!? IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!" Ink called out as he burst out of the house. "COME OUT!...PLEASE!" Ink gagged and fell to his knees. Rainbow colored ink eventually came out when it finally hit Ink that Error was long gone, that someone took him.

'Who could have taken Error?!' Ink harshly tried to clean his face of the colorful ink. 'Nightmare and his gang? But wouldn't he have left a note if he wanted something in return?! Who else is there-?!' Ink shot up when he remembered the message on the wall, it was written with purple spray paint. Not paint, spray paint. 'FRESH?!'

"Why would he take Error?!" Ink nearly tripped when he ran back to his room, trying to see if there was anything else that could help him find out just what is going on. "Or is it a diversion made by someone else?" Ink's sockets widened when he relized something. "...Nothing but my room is trashed...And Error would never go in there..."

'Did Error leave willingly?!' Ink slumped down, feeling so very tired. "Is this...my fault?" 'I never taught him stranger danger! I shouldn't have yelled at him! He was in a weak state, he is like a child after all! All they would have to do is give him some sweet words and he would go with them no problem.'

"Don't you worry Error..." Ink's head shot up, eyes blazing and SOUL beating with DETERMINATION. "I'll get you back no matter what."

"And whoever took you is going to P A Y."

-End Chapter-

Fresh finally has Error in his grasp! And Ink has no idea what is going on or who truly has Error. He has suspicions, but he is going to look at every option before he goes into attack mode.

I chose UnderKeep because I think it would be one of the most colorful AU's. I have seen how the characters are dressed in it, I can see it being a very beautiful place if a bit gaudy in certain places. And now Error has the whole AU for himself to play in, Fresh made sure that no one would be in it. As the human's SOUL is fine, not shattered but contained, there is no way the AU can reset. Not even Rosey - who is the UnderKeep version of Flowey - can as they have been dusted.

Next chapter we see how Error is loving his new home with Fresh, and a little more on how Ink is doing after Error has been taken.
