Error awoke with a jolt and a small scream, panting heavily and gripping his chest. He groaned and held his head in his hands, trying to shake off the nightmare he just had. he didn't have nightmares often which was probably because he rarely slept anymore. He had slept fine the past week but that was most likely because he had Fresh there with him.

Error took a few deep breaths and calmed his breathing back to normal. Error grunted and laid back on the 'floor' of the Anti-Void, putting his arm over his face. He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, all because of that nightmare. He didn't even remember what it was really about. All he remembered was that he was in an unknown place, hurt, crying, and screaming to be let go.

Error sat up and slapped himself a few times, shaking off the nightmare. It was just a nightmare that's all, he told himself but he still couldn't shake the bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. Error decided to ignore the feeling as much as he could. He couldn't afford to be worried about something so trivial. Today was his first date with Fresh and he wasn't going to let anything ruin it.

Error took another deep breath just to make sure he was fully calm before he looked down at himself. Today was his first date with Fresh so he would probably wear something nice, right? Well, it's not like he had anything else to wear. He had wrote the same clothes for as long as he could remember. Error sighed and then decided to remake the clothes he already had. His current ones were ragged and had holes that had been sown back together and it didn't exactly look all that nice for a date.

Error grabbed his box of string and pulled out the colors that he needed which was mainly, black, red, and blue. There was just a small bit of yellow and white included. Error also grabbed the small dol- puppet of Fresh he had made and set it beside him. He liked to have it near when he worked. Error had given Fresh a puppet of himself and when the two puppets were put side by side it made a heart since each of their shirts had half of a heart on it.

Error smiled slightly at the memory before he grabbed his sewing needles and started to work one his new clothes.

————-

A few hours had passed and Error had finally finished making his new clothes. He had remade his shirt, jacket, and shorts and had them laid out on the 'floor'. The only thing he didn't remake was his scarf. He didn't remember where he had gotten it but he knew that it was important to him and he didn't want a new one. Error pulled off the current clothes he had and slipped his freshly made clothes, taking a look at himself. He actually looked decent for once. Unfortunately, he didn't have any other shoes to wear and was stuck wearing the dirty, black slippers he had always wore.

Error put all of his leftover string back in the box he pulled it from and his sewing needles away with it. He then took his puppet of Fresh and stuck it in the pocket on the inside of his jacket and waited for his lover to arrive.

———-

Fresh was currently in DreamTale, talking with Ink, Blue, and Dream about the plan one more time before he would go and see Error in the Anti-Void. They had to make sure everything went perfect or else they'd never get Error captured. Fresh spent a good thirty minutes, talking and going over the plan before they finally decided it was time for Fresh to go and see Error. He gave a wave to Ink, Blue, and Dream before he opened a portal to the Anti-Void and hopped through it.

Fresh grinned when he saw Error sitting there on the floor, playing around with the puppet of himself.

"Are ya havin' fun with mini-me?" Fresh asked, snickering.

Error blushed in embarrassment and quickly shoved his puppet of Fresh back inside of his jacket.

Fresh chuckled and walked over to Error, pulling him up off of the floor. "Ya look nice."

Error's blushed darkened slightly. "Th- tHaNkS. I DiDn'T HaVe AnyThInG eLsE tO WEaR aNd I diDn'T hAvE tIMe To MakE mUch So I jUst RemAdE tHe CloThEs I AlrEady Had."

Fresh nodded. "Ya wouldn't have needed ta wear anythin' different anyway. We aren't goin' anywhere fancy," Fresh said, making a portal to OuterTale.

He stepped though the portal with Error, shutting it afterwards. Fresh sat down on the ground and Error sat down beside him.

Fresh unzipped his fanny pack and pulled out a picnic basket and a picnic blanket, setting the blanket down before he set the basket down on it and started to pull out the food he brought.

Error watched Fresh pull out the food before he looked at his fanny pack. "hoW DoD THaT eVen FiT In thERe? thAt BaskET iS wAy BiggEr ThAn yOuR fAnnY pAcK."

Fresh snickered and finished pulling the food out, shoving the picnic basket back in his Fanny pack. "It's called magic, broski. C'mon, ya shoulda known that."

Error rolled his eye lights and leaned on Fresh, picking up and cupcake and taking a bite of it.

Fresh chuckled at how Error went straight for the sweets before he started to talk Error about anything really. About how life was, about what they had been doing, about what the future might be like for the two of them...

While they talked, Error couldn't help but look around every so often. He left like they were being watched by someone... but every time he looked around he saw no one in sight...

The two were being watched, by Ink, Dream, and Blue, who were watching the two from a distance with binoculars, but Error obviously didn't know that. He just assumed that he was being paranoid because of the nightmare he had this morning.

Fresh stopped their current conversation and cupped Error's cheeks, making the smaller look at him. "Are ya aight, Error? Ya've been lookin' around a lot since we got here."

Error gave a small nod and looked to the side for a moment. "yeAH, SoRry... I fEeL LiKe We'RE bEINg WatChEd... I HaD a NiGhtMaRe aNd I gUeSs I'M juST a BiT pArANoId ToDAy..."

Fresh nodded and kissed Error on the head. "Ah, well, try not ta let it get ta ya. It was just a nightmare after all. They aren't real," Fresh said. He stuck one of his hands behind his back and made a peace sign with it. That was the signal for Ink, Dream, and Blue to start making their move. Now all he had to do was make sure Error stayed focused on him, which wouldn't be hard to do.

Errors smiled and looked up at Fresh. "tHanKs, FreSh. yOu AlWAyS mAkE Me FeEl BeTtEr..." Error murmured, relaxing against Fresh. "I LoVe yOu..."

Fresh smiled. "Yeah, I love ya too..." He whispered.

Error shut his eyes and leaned in for a kiss but before he could actually reach Fresh, Ink, Dream, and Blue dumped a large bucket of water on top of Error and Fresh.

Error shrieked and whipped his head around in confusion but he couldn't see anything. His vision quickly clouded up with with error signs and he crashed just a second later, everything going black.

Fresh watched as Ink, Dream, and Blue picked up Error's limp body and snapped some magic restraints on each of his wrists as he started to slowly reboot.

"Good job, Fresh!" Ink hummed as he opened up and portal to ScienceTale.

Fresh didn't respond and stood up, following the three Sanses though the portal. Science was waiting there,his facial features changing to a shocked one when he saw the actually managed to capture Error. He didn't think they'd be able to pull it off.

Science quickly led them to his lab and to an empty 'cell'. He had different ones where he kept things that he was currently experimenting on. Ink dropped Error in the cell before he left the room, the door sliding shut, making it seem like there wasn't even a door anymore. The light on the pin pad lock that unlocked the door turned red to signal that it was locked.

Ink smiled happily as he looking into the cell from the glass, watching Error lay limp as he continued to reboot. Ink turned to Fresh. "We finally got him! After all of these years we finally got him and it's all thanks to you, Fresh! I can't thank you enough! Now I can go back to making AUs in peace!" Ink chirped before he walked off with Blue and Dream, chatting away to the two of his best friends.

Fresh put his hands on the glass and watched Error lay there on the ground. He felt off. He felt something weird inside. A new feeling he had never felt before. He didn't know what it was but he did know that he didn't like it. Whatever it was, it was making him hurt. Not physically but emotionally on the inside.

"H-Heh... Yeah... Everything will be better now..." Fresh murmured to himself. He took one last look at Error before he walked off in the direction he saw Ink, Dream, and Blue go.

The only thing left to do now was to meet up with everyone, wait for Error to finish rebooting, come to his senses, and figure out everything that had happened...
