Error put the last box down and sighs. He still has a bit of work to do. Well could have done it faster with his strings or not buy so much. But he did need a few materials for his home. He only been in this new world for like 3 days and so far content with the place. Well as content as a former destroyer can be. But hey at least the new home he bought not white, nice tv and get too do whatever he wants.

He has so much chocolate to try out.

Got back to work and set everything up. He was quite happy buying a phone and use this YouTube App. It helps a lot how to get the tv together and his laptop working. Opening portals were easier but this help out too.

Once he was done, for the day, he sits down on the couch and took a bite out of the chocolate bar. Turn on the tv and found the show he wanted. Pleased when he found the channel and relaxed. Mind now and then wander what puppet should he sew up again.

THUMP!

Or just ignore that strange thump that on the second floor of this house.

THUMP!

Nope. Just going to sit here. Eat his chocolate and watch his show.

THUMP!

Fine! He'll go check!

Grumble and gets up to find this sound. It better just be something that fell down three times. Or could have been unlucky and someone broke in his house. Well really it would be the other person unlucky. Goes up the stairs and looked around till he looked at a door that shut. That was the only room he hasn't changed yet. Or probably not since the room gave him a sad feeling of sorts.

THUMP!

Well now has to go in the room of the strange noise.

Took a few steps and open the door. Turn the light on and stared at the figure on the floor.

A child.

A child with blood coming down her forehead. Wore a dirty pink dressed. Bruises and scratches all over her arms, legs, and bit of her neck. She was clutching a rabbit against her body. Long wavy brown hair and a pair of bright green eyes staring at his own.

"Huh? The owner didn't say anything about a kid still leaving here." He going to throw a complaint at the relator. Could he do this suing too? He technically didn't know a kid was still here. Well their also the parents that should get punished and leaving a child behind like this...A kid who doesn't have a physical soul he could sense but the soul herself. Wait? What the heck?

"Who are you?''

He shakes his head and look at the child. "Error? What about you little imp?"

She blinked and held the stuff bunny closer.

"You don't have to tell me? But I will need to give a name when I call someone." Geez who does he call for these situations?

"Call someone?''

"Yes. You got a number? Like to get your parents or-"Stop when she suddenly started to tear up and her head was down. Oh no crying kids are never good. Took a few steps and kneel on one leg. "Hey, hey come on little imp. Don't cry I didn't mean to make you upset. But we need to call someone. At least let them check that head of yours or –"

"I'm *sniff* d-dead." The girl crying and her big eyes tearing up.

"What?'' He blinks and look at her.

"Y-You only c-can see m-ee *sniff* because I-I let y-you."

"Huh that explains about the soul."

"Huh?'' Blink in confusion while still crying. Usually when she tells someone she dead they don't believe her. Till she disappeared or scars them away not wanting them here anymore. But the skeleton believes her.

"I'll explain later." Shit what a mess he got himself in. A dead little girl. It's like with Chara and a few Frisk mess. Expect she still has her soul but different. Different and still here. He could see if he could fix it but he still getting use to this new world and the codes. He could check on this later. But now a kid to take care of.

"Y-you're not s-scared."

"Not really." Just given a confused look. "Alright look imp I seen a lot of stuff. A dead child isn't the first for me." Wow he is not good at this at all.

"R-really?'' Calm down a bit and stared at him in shock.

"Yeah...So, um you want some chocolate?"

Sally sitting on the couch nibbling piece of chocolate. Error in the kitchen looking through data of the Intel on this kid and her situation. So, far he did not like what he seeing and hope the bastered rotting. He wouldn't live if he meet him. But learning he died from his cell because of seeing his "dead" niece 45 years ago was a good "justice" of sorts.

Sighs and rub his skull.

He could technically help her passed on but he hasn't tried that yet. Let alone a ghost in this world. The Charas, and few Swap Frisk, were one thing. But this girl still has a soul, just dead and ghost. A ghost who can still be solid if she allows it but takes a lot of energy out of here.

Gets up and goes to the living room. Watch as the kid looks at him and back down eating her chocolate.

"Okay little imp what you want to do?''

"Huh?''

"This home is technically still yours. I can leave if I'm disrupting yourself. Would have to take a bit of time till I find a better place-"

"W-wait. You going to leave?''

"If you want. "

She stared at him for a long time with mix emotions. "C-can you please stay?''

"You sure? I'm not the best of house mates." Well he had "stayed" a few times with Nightmare group. But that was to make sure everyone good or to let his bone rest. Along with that random what was it called, sleep something, with Blue. Didn't want to count the time when he kidnapped Blue and stayed in the anti-void.

"You're nice. You shared your chocolate with me." She smile at him. "None of the kids who ever came shared their food. They played with me but never done that."

He blinks at the child and sighs. "Alright Imp if you're sure."

"Yay!" Jump up and ready to hug him.

"Wait!"

It was too late and caught her before she could hurt herself. If that was possible. He feel to the ground and freezes up. No, no, no don't let him glitch out!

"Error what's wrong?'' Sally looks up and sees his face shaking. His whole body shaking and glitching. She frown at the look. She didn't like it. It reminded her too much when she got scared. Didn't want the skeleton to be scared.

Calm down Error! She just a kid! She doesn't know any better. He try to tell himself mentally but it was hard and conflicting as he reacts. He didn't want to crash and reboot in front of her. Then look down and shock to see the child now hugging him.

"Please don't be scared. I'm sorry if I hurt and scare you." Sally hugging the trembling skeleton the best she can with her little body.

He froze...She was sorry? He didn't understand. She didn't know any better. Even though many years passed she still a kid. Just like the Charas. Force it down and awkwardly pat her head. "D-Don't b-be so-sorry. I I D-Don't like b-bei-being tou-touch."

She immediately let go and her eyes held sadness. "I'm sorry."

"Y-you didn't k-know imp. J-just giv-give me an f-few se-seconds. Al-alright." Watches her nod and he close his eyes sockets. Took a few breathes and kept talking himself mentally till the glitching stop. Open his eyes up and see her tearing up a bit. "Hey, hey you didn't know."

"Does that mean I can never hug you?''

"No, no I mean." Took a deep breathes and look at her. "If I pat your head and all that it's fine. When I get use to you I won't glitch as bad. But it's going to take a lot of time. But my past hasn't been easy either imp. I done a lot of stuff I'm not proud of because I was force to do it. Which lead to me getting hurt a lot. What you did. A hug. I'm not use to so my body and I going to think you hurt me."

She nods and taking it all in. She frown sadly. "So you like me?''

"Huh?''

"We both been hurt." Her head down and shake her head when she almost thought about him.

"In a sense yeah we are."

"I don't like spiders."

He tilt his head and watch her sit down on the floor with him. Not close giving him space but enough to be near.

"I don't like spider even when I'm dead I don't like them."

"I don't like the color white."

"Even if it's a flower or on a cake."

"That's on something. Unless the cake plane white. But I just don't like it."

"My teddy bear name Mr.Death." Shows him the teddy bear.

"Cute Maybe he would like to see some of my puppets."

"Puppets?"

"Yes, I can make puppets."

"I haven't seen any of them?"

"I don't have them on me anymore but I'm going to make a few new ones."

"Can you make me one please?''

"You sure? I could buy you one?"

"No, I want it from you!"

"Well if you insist Imp. Anything in particular?"

"Hmm." Sally thinking and face scrunch up. Till it beam brightly. "You!"

"Huh?"

"I want a puppet like you!"

"Um you sure? I'm not exactly cute and fluffy. I could make a different skeleton. Oh there one who name Blue I made of. He better-"

"No, you! But I want to see this Blue one too." Smile brightly at him and then if possible her eyes brighten. "Pretty please Error."

Gah that look. Chara and the Frisks would give him that look. It made him feel weird and weak. "Alright. Alright. But you're going to regret it when you get little ugly me."

"You're not ugly! You're pretty!"

"Pretty?" Let out an amused snort. "That's a new one imp. If anything you're the adorable one out of the two of us."

The two of them kept talking throughout the night till morning. Error wasn't tired but he can tell with Sally she was getting sleepy.

"Come on Imp. You need to get some sleep."

"I'm not *yawn* tired."

"Sure you're not." Gets up and motion her to follow him. She did, well she held on to his scarf which he didn't mind, and they go back to her room. He stops at the door and look at her. "Go on. Get some rest. I'll have a surprise for you when you wake up."

"For me?''

"Yes, you. Now go on."

She pouted not wanting to sleep but knew she had too. At least to get energize. Walks to her bed, not her original, and goes to lay down. But stop and look at Error.

"Yes?''

"You're the first adult I like that ever move here when I died...Are you going to leave me?''

Please don't leave me alone in here!

"No, no I'm going to stay as long as you want me too." 

Sally stares and smile. Climb up in bed and got under the blankets. Nuzzle up against Mr. Death till "sleep" final hit her.

Error stares till he turn the light off and left the room. Goes back down and start working on his surprise. Well surprises...He's going to need to buy a lot of different pink yarn.
