<Error's POV>

Ink has been creating more of those "AU" things. He's probably made about 20 by now. He should stop by now. It's becoming quite obnoxious, to say the least. It's becoming an abundance now. He seriously needs to stop...

(Time skip)

I've had it! He won't stop, so I'll have to do this. I have to.

<3rd Person POV> 

Error brought out his blue strings. He had known this power since he was very young.

(Flashback)

"Who are you?" Error questioned, (rudely) pointing at the young Ink he just found.  A blue string flowed out of his index finger.

"Oh, hello, I'm In--whoa, wait, what's that blue thingy?" Ink asked, quickly dodging the strings, and confused with what he just had seen. Error seemed to have the same expression as Ink, looking in awe at this thing he made.

"Huh. What is this? Let me try that again..." Error said. He spread out his hand to the right, and, streaming out, 5 blue threads, one for each finger. "Cool!" He said in (adorable) amazement.

(End of Flashback)

He opened a portal and went to some random AU.

It seemed to be a work in progress, but Ink wasn't in this to-be AU, to Error's luck. He then somehow wrapped his strings around a sketch that looked like a tall, skeletal, slender figure, with a large chest and a long head. It also seemed to be wearing boots and a scarf. He gave the strings a rather sharp pull, and, surprisingly seemed to "shatter" the sketch like a sheet of thin glass. "Cool, it can destroy stuff too. I might like this ability..." He said to himself. 

He continued this process without a word, until that AU wouldn't even become an idea to anyone. Then he opened up a portal and casually walked through. The AU dimension was destroyed, as well, since it was blank, permanently deleting it from existence (sorta like Gaster...) 

(Time skip)

"Ok, so now that I'm done touching up EchoTale, let's finish what I started. That AU." Ink said. He opened up his own portal, and walked right i--

He stupidly walked into it, only to result in him bonking his head on an invisible barrier. He looked like an idiot, honestly...

"Uhhh... Okay, let's try again..." Ink stammered. He put his hands out in front of him, just in case. His hands felt that same barrier. "*Sigh* My portal isn't working. I'll go ask Error to open a portal to there." He opened another portal and hesitantly walked in.

He was back at the anti-void. Error was lying on the ground,  absent-mindedly staring into space. "Uhh, Error, my portal isn't allowing me to go to my new AU. Can you...open your portal up to there?" Ink asked.

"Eh. I'll try." Error replied and opened up his portal. Ink tried walking in, resulting in him looking dumb again. Error could barely keep his laughter in.

"Are you OK?" Error said, giggling between his words. Ink started blushing a literal rainbow.

Error finally managed to calm down and say, "I don't know why that happened. Honest." Error lied. 

Both of their true colours are starting to form. Who knows what's in store for the future...

(Error technically committed murder...)
