———————————————————
I look at Palette. He smirks. I could hear footsteps. I know people are coming. But he doesn't. I turn my head when I see a string slithering under the door. I flick my wrist and my scythe slices it up. The remains zip out. I look back to see Palette was leaning in. I stop him.

"The others are coming."I whisper

His eyes widen. He nods and shifts beside me. I get up just in time for the knock at the door. I look at Palette and nervously smile, but then see his wings open. We had to hide those. I look around and quickly grab some blankets. I put them on his back and they hid the wings. I go to open the door. I see my scarf laying on the ground nearby. I open the door and Error is standing there.

"Hey, Error."I say

"Oh hEy, GoTh. Is EvEryThInG oK? I thoUgHt I sAw sOmEonE fLy iNtO yOUR rOom! AlSo yOu sEeM....DiFfErEnt."He says, squinting at me

"Yep, everything is ok. My window is shut so they may have fallen after hitting the window. Nobody is here except for Palette and I. I think that's because you're tired, everything seems different. Also, you don't have your glasses."I say

"Is PaLeTtE oK?"He says, his eyes narrow.

I nod, but his eyes say he's skeptical. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look and it's Palette. I place a hand on him to hold the blanket in place.

"Everything is fine, Error. Go rest. You need it."Palette says

Error looks at us both skeptically.

"...Ok, cAlL iF tHeRe's aNy tRoUbLE."Error says, then strolls sleepily down the hall

We look at each other and I smile. His face lit up when I did that. This confuses me. I shrug it off. I look around and the world begins to spin. It goes dark. I passed out. I wake up soon and smile. I sit up slowly. Beside me is Geno. I look at him. He smiles.

"Hey son, how are you?"He asks

"S-Son?!"I exclaim

"Yes, that's what I said. I know my son when I see him."Geno says

"Wait, am I dead?! Are you dead? Is this a dream? Our timeline was destroyed wasn't it?!"I ask

I look around curiously. I recognize it. It's the living room of my home in my timeline. I laid with him on the couch. I'm home! Wasn't I? But how?

"Sorta. Now, I see your situation and found a way to help. I want to keep you safe one last time. So I tracked down where those pieces of your soul went."He says

"One last time?"I repeat

"Yep. Your father and I don't have much time. So, we're spreading a list by 'dream-hopping' I guess. Here's a list. Also, I'll do something for you and Raven so you both have a proper home."He says, handing me a list

I grip it but stare at him in silence. Tears come to my eyes as I process what's going on. He opens a screen, kinda like the save screen but this was different. I peek at it, seeing it say my name. Geno, er, Mom(>:3) wastes no time and begins typing all kinds of code into it. I see the words Timeline Transfer then the words Confirm and Deny. I realize what he's doing and pull him from the screen.

"Wait! No! Please! If you do that, I may never see you again!"I cry

"You were never gonna see us again in our timeline anyway."He says

"B-But we c-can fix it when we solve everything!"I say

"We both know that's impossible. It's for the best. Besides, your father and I will visit you when you sleep. It also seems the other versions of us aren't too far behind. Heh. We'll still see each other, but you deserve a place to call home."He says

I couldn't speak. I cry too much. He looks at me.

"Aw, Goth. Don't worry, it's all gonna be okay."He assures me

A door opens.

"Geno?"Father calls

"In here, Reaper. Our Goth is crying."He says

"I don't wanna lose you guys..."I whimper

They both wrap their arms around me.

"You won't. You never have. Just stay strong and everything will be okay. Keep that head up and smile. Besides, you aren't alone. We got...some assistance to come find you. All you need to do is wake up now."Father says

"I don't want to. Or I'll have to say goodbye."I say

"No! Think of it as a see you later. Because you will see us later."He says

I hear a click. I look to see they had distracted me and confirmed the transfer.

"Wake up, Goth."Father tells me

I look at him and then nod. I shut my eyes and open them. That setting was gone. I look around and find myself in the streets, laying on the sidewalk. How'd I get here? I stand up and begin to wander. I feel something in my pocket. I reach in and take out the paper. My eyes widen. That really happened. I tuck the paper away, not wanting to cry again. I look around, trying to find my way back to the house. But I keep hearing noises from behind and getting the feeling I'm being watched. I quicken my pace. Two arms wrap around me from behind. A head nuzzles mine. I froze after trying and failing to get out of their hold.

"There you are Gothy!"A voice from behind says

I glance over and see that Palette is the one with his arms around me, nuzzling his head to mine. He smiles as his wings flap, allowing him to hover above the ground.

"Palette! You scared me! Why do you love sneaking up on me from behind to greet me?"I say

"Oh! I'm sorry! I don't mean to!"He says

"It's okay."I say

"Where have you been? You fell asleep and I put you in bed but when morning came you were gone! Also, what's the note for in your pocket?"He asks

"Oh! I've been out here! I went for a morning run!"I lie

"Morning run?"He repeats

"Yep! Why not? Hehe."I say

"And the note?"He asks

"It's nothing."I tell him, tucking the note out of sight in the pocket

"Okay. Guess what!"Palette says

"What?"I ask

"I have a surprise for you!"He says, kissing my cheek

My face warms up.

"Palette!"I exclaim

"What?"He asks innocently


"What was that for?"I ask

"A distraction."He asks

"A distraction from wha-WOAH! Eeep! Palette!"I begin to ask but then yelp when he takes to the skies, bringing me with him

I tremble and hold him tight, terrified. I don't want to look down or even fall, I've grown quite scared of heights. I could tell we are high up because I could see the clouds above us closely and he didn't need to flap often to go distances.

"Don't worry, I got you!"He assures me, cradling me in his hold

"C-Can we land?"I ask

"Of course. We've reached the destination anyway."He says

He makes a soft landing on a building's roof. He sets me down. He takes a few steps away and taps something nearby. I look around and see a small soul piece hovering. I look at Palette. He smiles. I look at the soul piece and CHECK it. It's mine. I finish CHECKing and it zips right over. It hits me and I check myself. The piece hovers in my stats, an outline of the rest staying faint. The piece that now is with Palette glows green in the outline slightly. The knockback force from getting the piece made me fall back against roof. Palette comes over to me. He positions himself over me. He smiles. I feel my face warm and his brightens.

"P-Palette? What are you doing?"I ask

"Do you remember when Error yanked us out of the sky?"He answers with his own question

"Y-Yes but what does that have to do with anything?"I reply

"Then you recall how close we were, hidden by your wings. And I kept getting closer....lost in an idea. Error stopped me from stupidly going through with it."Palette tells me.

"O-Okay?"I say, unsure of where this is going

"But now, I can properly put that idea into action."He says

"W-What kind of idea?"I ask

His wings drop around us, blocking me from seeing anything around us. I realize this is just like how my wings had blocked us from seeing out and others from seeing in.

"P-P-Palette?"I stutter

"Don't worry, I made sure the area was safe and private. Just relax, Gothy."He says

"W-W-What are you doing in this idea?"I ask, feeling my face get warmer

"Oh, how about I show you?"He suggests

Then, without another word, he kisses me. His hand slides past my head, lowering himself closer to me. My face ignites and his face got brighter. His wings went up as soon as he accomplished it. He held it there. I gaze at him as he keeps his eyes shut.

He soon parts from me and smiles. Suddenly, he falls backwards, getting dragged toward the edge of the roof. I grab his hand and stop him.

"Someone's got my wing!"He says

I pull him from the edge and check his wing. There is a string around it.

"I think Error is here."I tell him

"Shoot. We'll never hear the end of it with his teasing if he finds out we're up here."Palette says, his face extremely bright

The string gets another tug. Palette soars off the roof. I climb down a pipe in the opposite direction of where he went and walk around the building. I see Error holding Palette in his strings, not seeming pleased. He has his glasses on too. Fooling him now will be hard. I come over and he ties me up as well. I jolt in surprise.

"I'm tAkInG yOu tO ScIeNcE. HeRe's yOur sCarF GoTh."He says, his string placing my scarf in my hand

He carries us away and next thing I know, I'm isolated in a room. I look around and shrug. Sure enough, tests start to run. Science couldn't be seen. Some hurt, some don't. Then a message on a loudspeaker said it was done for now and I lean against a wall. I check my soul to see nothing changed with it. Then I hear a knocking sound from the wall. I turn my head and listen. Knock Knock.-Pause- Knock Knock. 

"Hello?"I say

The knocks stop.

"You're supposed to say who's there."A voice says

"Oh sorry! Who's there?"I ask

"Ya."The voice says

"Ya who?"I ask

"Yahoo! I'm as happy as you! So good to hear from you!"The voice says

A big knife shoots through the wall, narrowly missing my head. I don't laugh. Or make a sound. And by knife, I mean Cross' weapon sized kinfe. Alarms begin to go off loudly. A loudspeaker says lockdown engaged. But the knife was beginning to saw through the wall. I summon my scythe and find the nearest exit way:a ceiling window. I break through it and run. I check through the windows for Palette and find him. I break his window. He still has his wings but a test must've worked because they were shrinking away.

"Fly out of here while ya can!"I yell to him

"Gothy?"He says, looking up.

"The lab is under attack! It's being intruded! Get out of there!" I tell him, then keep running

I run and nearly reach the edge of the lab roof when an arrow was shot. It hits me in the back and packed a punch, knocking me down. I do not waste time. I get up and keep going. I run through a forest and find the town again. I run past Raven's place, not wanting to put him into danger. I find some shop and go into it. The human at the desk saw the trouble and hid me behind the front desk, telling me to stay low. He took the arrow out and bandaged my spine that it hit. I follow his directions. A bell rings, meaning someone has entered. A chill goes down my spine.

"Hello sir! How do you do?"The human says

"Hello. I'm looking for a young skeleton. Have you seen him?"The voice from before says

The human shakes their head.

"I haven't. And this place doesn't permit weapons so please leave with your knife before I call the cops."The human says

Then, I black out.

Sorry it's short.
