"I am really sorry, my children."

The hills were a light shade of lilac and white. The trees were tall while their leaves were different shades of purple. The wind danced amongst the sky, blowing the leaves to dance alongside it. The purple leaves soon landed on a child's [shade of hair] hair. Usually, this child would be quick to pluck the leaves out of their hair. But during this very moment, the child's attention was on someone else.

XGaster sat on a dark purple tree stump, looking down at his bright purple soul with a look of sorrow. In front of him, there were three children giving him looks of pity, sharing a bit of the same emotions that he felt. The boy with dark hair was holding a bouquet of lovely golden flowers while the child we saw before held a bouquet of beautiful blue forget me nots. In between them stood a boy with white hair.

And behind them stood Ink.

"I'm really sorry, my children. . ." XGaster apologized profoundly to the three, who could only continue giving him looks of pity and concern. "I have failed you once again. . ." He slightly scrunched up his face with slight pain, the amount of guilt that he bore beginning to slowly kill him.

"This soul was given to me for the purpose of creating something unique and special for you three. . . But. . . I don't know how! I don't know what else to create. I'm wasting this power." XGaster was ranting about all the problems that the four of them faced while the four in front of him could only listen.

Chara's eyebrows lifted slightly, expressing his worry and sadness towards the one who he could see as a potential parental figure. Frisk wore a neutral expression, yet he did feel bad for XGaster. [Name] could only look down to their bouquet of flowers.

"Maybe if I destroy myself along with this place. . ." XGaster suggested, causing a small gasp to come out of [Name]. "You will never need someone like me. . . the three of you may be free."

Frisk and Chara felt a hand on their shoulder, with [Name] looking at who the skeletal hand belonged to. It was Ink.

"Hey. Hold the phone, buddy," Ink was quick to chirp in, The two boys moved away to clear some space for Ink to talk to their creator, with [Name] just having to drag Chara since he didn't bother to move at first.

XGaster lowered his head as he held it with his hand. "I don't even know what a 'phone' is. . ." He sighed in a defeated manner. He already gave up on creating a world for the three children. What was the point in anything now?

I feel you man.

Ink slowly walked up to XGaster. "Look at me, silly old man," Ink tried his best to make this old man better. So, he sent him a bright smile. The old man in question looked up, still having a hand to cover his face. "Don't be so hard on yourself," Ink told him with a smile. "You suffer from something called Lack of Motivation." He put his hands on his waist, creating a confident position.

XGaster is literally me now that I see it.

"There's no need to destroy anything or anybody. I have the perfect cure to your problems!" Ink exclaimed as an even brighter and huge grin grew on him. He stretched out his hand to the old man, offering for him to take it. "Come with me, pal. I won't leave you alone until you give me a chance."

Deciding it was best (and out of desperately trying to find a reason to continue), XGaster accepted Ink's hand. From there, Ink created a door-like portal to the Doodle Sphere. He led XGaster and the three kids to walk past the door, eagerly awaiting their response to see such an amazing place!

Once the four from the world of Xtale crossed the portal, their perspectives changed drastically. The Doodle Sphere displayed small floating pieces of land with different doors representing their AU's. From there, each island was decorated to fit the AU. The three kids were breath taken by this sight alone, amazed by the many AU's.

[Name]'s purple eyes (Why purple? It's because their soul is perseverance) wandered around the whole sphere until something caught their eye. It was a colorful island with clocks being displayed. They could make out the words "Quantumtale'' on the sign in front.

They had a feeling they might like that.

"Welcome to the Doodle Sphere!" Ink introduced the four to this amazing space of what seemed like an infinite amount of stories and possibilities being displayed. "Here are thousands of alternate versions of us! Worlds with simple and complex stories."

Each of three children shared the same amount of astonishment and amazement as Ink continued talking. "You could think everything already exists here, but I'm sure you can create something new. Not everyone in the multiverse has your ability. The gift of creating something out of nothing."

The Doodle Sphere then transformed into an infinite place displaying many papers that represented the AU's. "You can create anything you wish!" Ink told his new friend with cheerfulness. "You can do whatever you want!" XGaster's eyes widened as his glasses were shining. He was even more amazed by everything here. "If you want, I can show you more closely. These worlds can give you so many ideas!" Ink offered, eagerly awaiting XGaster's response.

"I would greatly appreciate it, my friend."
