For the next couple days, you trained and trained and trained.

Your friends started getting worried and decided that, today, they would visit you after school.

It was a week later on a Wednesday.

After the school day, you received a knock on the door.

Being asleep, you didn't hear it.

PJ's POV

I was with (y/n)'s nerd friends in front of her door.
"She's not answering..." Alphys said, nervously glancing up at me.
"Yeah. Give me a minute," I answered and reached into my pocket.
"W-what are you doing?" Napstablook stuttered.
"Spare key. She gave me one a while ago," I answered him.

They widened their eyes, but kept their mouthes shut.

I put the key inside the keyhole and turned it. Hearing a click, I pulled it out and put it back in my pocket. All of us entered the house and they looked around.
"I know it's nice and all, but is now really the time?" I asked them. They seemed to snap back into reality and I led them to her bedroom.

Once we were outside of her bedroom, I put a finger to my lips (yes. Go see TheGreatRoque's art), silencing them.

I knocked on her door three times and waited. At first, there was no answer.

After three times, I gripped the door handle.
"You're gonna go in?" Fresh asked me. I nodded.
"If she's not answering after three tines, it's tine to worry. Trust me, I know why she's been acting like this," I told them sadly and opened her door.

The entire room was pitch black and her bed had a falling and rising bump under the covers. I walked to it and saw that (y/n) had the covers up to her face.
"She's asleep," I whispered to the group. "You guys go. I'll take care of her,"
"Alright. Tomorrow, tell us how she is," Papyrus, for once, whispered. I put a thumb up in the air and nodded.

Once everyone had left, I went back inside (y/n)'s room.

She was curled up in an even tighter ball as tears were pouring out of her eyes. My eyes softened as I brushed some hair from her face.

She curled up into a tighter ball and grabbed my sleeve.
"Inky..." She muttered, more tears falling. "Don't leave me..."

I sighed.
"(Y/n)..." I said gently and stroked her head, moving some hair out of her face. "You'll save him. I know it. You're incredibly strong. Just stay determined,".

Right as I finished saying that, she started to wake up. I smiled gently and watched as her tired eyes opened.
"Hey," I smiled down at her.

(Y/n)'s POV

My eyes landed on PJ's face looking down at me.

I felt heat crawl onto my face as I looked away.
"Heheh. You should get up," He told me and got off my bed.

I swung my legs over the side and smiled up at him.

* * * * *

PJ and I were currently sitting on the couch. He was sitting with his arms acroos the backrest as I lay down with my head on his lap. His hand was stroking my head, making my cheeks heat up just a little.
"PJ? If I can't save my brother, does that make me weak?" I asked. His eyes went wide as he stopped stroking me.
"No! Even if you can't do something, it doesn't make you weak! It makes you strong because, even if you can't, you tried your best!" He exclaimed, looking down at me with a little bit of yellow on his cheeks. I smiled weakly and snuggled up to him.
"Thanks," I thanked PJ and closed my eyes.
"N-no problem.." He stuttered.

* * * * *

When my eyes opened, I saw PJ sleeping soundly. It made me smile lightly as I stood up and walked to the kitchen.
"(Y/n)?" PJ asked from the couch. I peaked my head round the doorway and hummed.
"Need something?" I asked him quietly. He shook his head and turned on the TV again.

Once I made some food, I sat down next to PJ once again.
"You have school tomorrow, you should get going," I told him, making him nod.
"I guess. See ya," He waved and went to the door.

Once PJ had left, I checked over the plan to save Ink and Dream and grinned happily once I noticed that it had an 80% of working.
"That's better than the last plan at least," I thought out loud.

* * * * *

As the end if the day approached, I got ready for bed.

I brushed my teeth, took a shower and got dressed into my pyjamas.

I entered my bed, covered myself with the blanket and closed my eyes, letting my mind shut down and go to sleep.

~Dream~

As my eyes opened, I saw that I wasn't in my room.

Instead, I was in Error's void.

I looked around, until my eyes landed on two figures in the air, being held up by blue strings.

One was looking my direction, the other had their head hanging down.

Upon closer inspection, I saw it was Ink and Dream! I wore the biggest smile on my face in the past week and ran at them.
"(Y/n).." Dream's voice was hoarse as well as having some begging in it. "Be careful,"
"Dream. I will go to any lengths to save the two of you. Just because I'm gonna be alone, doesn't mean I'm gonna die," I explained, looking up at him.

Dream smiled weakly at me and looked at Ink.
"Alright, but hurry. He has low health," He informed me, casting a worried glance at Ink.

I sighed sadly and nodded.
"I intend to get you out of here as fast as possible, believe me,"
"I know. I-I don't have much energy left. You need to know this, Error has become stronger. Something is giving him extra strength. He did something to Ink, I just know it. He won't wake up. I mean, he will, but not often. And not for long either,"

This worried me.
"I promise I'll save you. AND save Ink's life,"
