All in all, things seemed to be looking up. Everyone was anticipating saving Blue and there was even some confessions going around. By that I mean that Dust and Killer told Nightmare and Error that they were a thing. It apparently was a lot for them to take it, Error crashed and had Ink poking at his limp form in intrigue, while Nightmare waved it off and walked away, Dream following after his brother. Edge and Carrot were talking. Red said he'd never seen his brother so friendly. I think that's a good thing. Fresh was pesturing Geno, while Reaper was threatening to murder Fresh with a touch of his hand. Figures. G was in a corner smoking. Asgore and Toriel were consoling Frisk, and Papyrus was trying to join in on Edge and Carrot's conversation. Finally everything was going well. "finally have a moment to ourselves~" Red purred, circling his arms around my waist. "how long do ya think?" Red shrugged. "don't care." He turned me to face him and started showering me with short, sweet, kisses. I rolled my pinpricks. It never hurt to be selfish every once in a while.. right?

Soon enough everyone was ready. Nobody truly knew what was going to go down, but they knew that Fate wasn't going to give her host up easily. They had to be ready for a fight. "remember. don't get bit. don't let your guard down. no matter what, don't let her magic touch you." I warned for the millionth time. "Beach lady has as much control over our souls as you do, we know." G huffed and stopped out a cigarette. "we will be very careful." Ink assured. "and get blue back so we can make amends!" Dream chirped. "or die trying." Nightmare inputted. "Brother!" Dream chided. "so much uncool lingo going down.." Fresh was upset at the cursing going around. "NOBODY GIVES A SHOT!" Edge growled. "guys focus! this is important. so the kid will stay here with geno. the rest of us.." I glanced at Papyrus who gave a reassuring thumbs up. "will get blue and snap him out of it. error, nightmare, dream, and ink will open portals out once we have him so i can knock that bitch down a peg or two." The room went dead silent. "Sans.. did you just curse?" Toriel, nor anybody from Undertale, had ever heard me of all monsters, swear. Edge snapped over to Fresh for an explanation. "THAT DUCK CAN SWEAR BUT I CAN'T!?" Fresh held his hands up. "shoulda censored."
"i'm the god of gods. fresh's magic don't pretain to me."

We were back in Underswap, moving with a stealth that came naturally as 'The Judge.' Had to say, those who weren't part of said position was doing pretty well for beginners. I could see that everyone was on edge, looking at every shadow, around every corner, for someone or something. I tensed upon feeling her presence, waiting in Waterfall. A beautiful, yet lonely place to die. With all the echo flowers, I'd be hard to find someone's position if they were injured. Both an advantage and a disadvantage. There he was, smiling an unsettling smile, Blue waiting with his arms crossed behind his back. "I KNEW YOU'D BE BACK. IT WAS VERY NICE OF YOU TO BRING FRIENDS! IT'S NOT A PARTY WITHOUT THOSE." Error took a step forward. I watched, ready to get in and protect him if need be. "b-b-blue. list-ten. i-i'm sorrrry th-at w-e-e ne-nev-ver hun-g out. i wa-ant to mak-ke- ame-ends." Ink joined his enemy. "i'm sorry too. i'm sorry that we never let you join in any of our fights. i should have trusted you." Dream joined them both. "and i'm sorry for always relying on you to stay positive.. you have a right to feel however you want to feel.." Blue hummed. "THAT'S WHAT THIS PARTY IS FOR, SILLIES! SO WE CAN ALL GET ALONG AGAIN.." He ended on a dangerous note. Finally Carrot stepped up. "bro.. party sounds great right now.. can we talk first? brother to brother?" Blue tapped his foot in thought. "I'M LISTENING."

Carrot cleared his nonexistent throat. Oh boy. Here we go. "i've.. looked up to you since i was just a babybones. when the kid came around.. all i wanted to was show you that i could protect you too.. i never meant for this to get this far.. i never meant to get.. obsessive.. over you.. i.. understand.. if you don't want to forgive me. i don't expect you too." Blue paused. He was thinking it over. He seemed less sure of his idea. "I.." He was stopped when a hand touched his shoulder. Fate smiled. "Forgiving him so easily? After all he's done? The way he's treated you.. I think he should join your other friends in getting along.." Blue blinked, his eyelights going grey. "YOU KNOW.. YOU'RE RIGHT." He smiled widely. The monsters of the au started to crawl out. "GET THEM."
