Refresh: Extras

Swaps Meet the Classics

Cuz why not. Both timelines would be post book 2. So Fresh = 17, Error = 19, Geno = 21. S!Error was taken around age 9 and returned around age 17. S!Lucas (Aka Dr.Jean) is dead. There is no "Faris character"  in the swap universe. Now ships haven't exactly beem figured out... Dreamtal twins swapped with Grim and Reaper. Ink swapped with Decans. Sugar and Sour each swapped. Club and Heart swapped. (And by process of elimination so did Spade and Diamond) So. . . Help figure out ships?

   "Geno!" I shook him lightly. This isn't home. Geno and Error are here. Stay calm Fresh. . . It's alright. It's alright.

   Geno blinked. "Huh? What's wrong..?" 

   "Where are we?" Error asked sitting up and rubbing his head.

   "I Don't know!" Don't panic. . . Okay your panicking!

   "Hey! Fresh calm down. It's okay. It's okay." Geno sat himself up quickly. "It'll be okay."

   Error stood up to look around. "Uh. . .Guys?"

   I looked up trying to stop the tears. "What. . ?"

   "People." Error muttered pointing. Sure enough about 30 feet away were three people. Two looked asleep, (or worse), one was curled in on himself.

   Geno got to his feet and pulled me with him. "It's okay Fresh."

   Error lead the way obviously cautious. There was a heavy air as Geno and I followed. This felt like a bad idea. Who in their right mind goes towards the strangers in a pure white room with no end?

   The curled up figure jolted up and scrambled back. "Stay away!"

   Error stopped in his tracks. Except for the lack of strings. . . This skeleton looked just like him! "Okay!" He held his hands up in front of him.

   I frowned. Well. . . This just got weirder. The skeleton on the floor looks just like Error. Hes clearly distressed but why? Scars littered his face and arms. . . Wait. . .

   It all clicked into place. Of course. That would explain the other two. Counterparts to myself and Geno. If my thoughts are correct. "Oh you poor thing."

   "What?" Geno asked clearly confused. He was kneeling by the other two. They did look strikingly similar to myself and Geno. Except "Geno" had red markings on his face and the other me had a glitch over his right eye.

   I pushed past Error who was still standing frozen. The other Error flinched. "I said stay away!!!" His voice wasn't glitched.

   "Listen. I won't hurt you okay? I promise." I sat doen on the ground. "Your name is Error isn't it?"

   Other Error looked up barely. "How did you know that?"

   I gave a short forced grin and gestured to my Error and Geno. "Just a hunch."

   Other Error uncurled with wide shocked eyes. I could see the gears working in his skull. So I was right. He is smart like me. I saw the exact moment that he gathered it all. He gasped sharply. "Oh Stars."

   I flinched knowing exactly what he figured out. "Yeah. . ."

   Other Error put his hands in his lap and went quiet like he was thinking. "Error is my middle name. Its actually Code."

   "I'm Fresh."

   "Like Pastel? I mean. . . That's my younger brothers middle name."

   "Yeah. I assume so. So you obviously are "me" and Pastel is like my Geno which makes your Geno like my Error?"

   Code nodded. "Except my "Geno" is actually named Glitch."

   "Ironic." I chuckled lightly.

   "A little bit yeah." He laughed softly. ". . . How old were you?"

   I paused and stared at my hands. "Eight."

   He was silent. "I was nine."

   "I'm sorry."

   "Me too."

   The room began go fade. I looked up and sighed. "Guess that means its time to go?"

   Code looked around. "Guess so. See you around." He gave a half smile.

   I stood up. "Yeah. See you."

   I opened my eyes to the ceiling of my room. I felt well rested.
