What Happened..? (Dustberror)

Happy Birthday...

He had a family once. He couldn't remember much of it, though. Sometimes, he got glimpses in his dreams. Glimpses of a hooded figure. Of children. One he believed to be older than the other, but only by a year or two. That was before, though. Before Error had left him in that stars forsaken empty place - but... he wasn't mad about that anymore. There was no point in being angry because he wasn't there anymore. He had made his home here, in Omega Timeline, where he could help around and make friends and be with his brother that he could also hardly remember, but they were working on it! "Blueberror, you are staring again. ("Huh? Oh- Sorry Core! I Was Thinking Was All!") "H-uh? Oh- So-orr-y Co-re! I W-as Thi-i-nk-in-g W-a-s Al-l!" Blueberror laughed apologetically as he turned away from the poor parent and child he'd set his gaze admittedly creepy gaze upon. "we've noticed, bro. ya've been spacing out a lot this past week. what's on your mind?" Stretch asked. Blueberror released a glitchy sigh. ("I Can't Help Feeling That I'm Forgetting Something... Something Important...") "I Ca-n-t He-lp Fee-lin-g Tha-t I-m Forg-et-tt-ing Som-ethi-ng... So-om-eth-i-i-ing Im-por-or-or-tant..."

"Happy birthday, Fury!" Sprinkle put down a cake he'd been working on all day. Not to say that Fury didn't appreciate the effort, he really did, but it wasn't the same. Ever since their mom disappeared, it was like his brother was overcompensating for the fact that he was gone. "thanks bro, but shouldn't we save the whole cake thing for when dad gets back?" Fury pointed out. "Oh- oh yes, of course... you're right..." Sprinkle went to put it away dejectedly. Fury hated to make his big brother sad. Mom would have made him say something to make Sprinkle feel better. Besides, dad probably wouldn't be back until late. He never did give up on mom... "you know what, scratch that. the old man's just gonna miss out... again. i'll get the candles." Sprinkle gasped happily and went to regrab the cake from the fridge while Fury dug through the junk drawer to get the candles and a lighter. "how old am i again, sprinkle?" Fury knew, he just wanted to keep his bro talking while he placed the candles and lit them. "You're fourteen now, silly! Now blow out the candles and make a wish!" A wish... he wished his parents could be there to celebrate their damned birthdays.

Dust knew... he knew that Blue was probably dead. He was supposedly last seen with Error, after all, and Error left no survivors. He believed it was his fault for falling in love with the enemy and having kids with him. It was his fault for not being there to protect him... as it was his fault now, for not being with his kids to celebrate his youngest's birthday... again. Dust sighed. He should head back home. There was still time to be with them. Still time to be a better dad. But if there was a chance Blue was here in the Omega Timeline... just waiting for Dust to find him... Dust didn't want to give up, not when Blue never gave up on him. Once more Dust felt divided between chance and parenthood. There was a chance Blue was here... but... Dust dragged his hood up higher. He shouldn't be here. If he was found out, he would be killed for his sins. Dust turned quickly to get back to his portal and bumped into someone. Shit shit shit- ("Do I Know You..?") "D-o... I Kn-ow-ow Y-ou..?" The stranger glitched and errored just like... Dust didn't even think of the possibility... but... "b-blueberry..?" Dust asked quietly.
