    "I'll say this one more time Error - let our friend go!" shouted Ink. Error looked down on him and laughed.

     "He's my friend, too!" he yelled back. 

     "HE'S NOT WRONG, INK - I'LL BE FINE! ERROR'S NOT A BAD GUY!" Blue said. 

     (Y/N) sat on the sidelines, watching Ink and Error fight each other. It wasn't fair. She wanted to fight, too. But, even she knew she wasn't exactly strong. She wasn't a wimp, but was more of a lover than a fighter. Ink and Dream always teased her for it, and Blue would sympathize with her. He was too sweet to fight.

     Suddenly, a blue string flew at her face. She yelped, ducking as the cord flew over her head.

     "For crying out loud, Error!" She yelled, her hands still over her head. Ink and Error paused. They laughed.

     "Sorry, (Y/N)!" Error said, before throwing another string at Ink.

     She wiped the frown off of her face. She didn't hate Error. In fact, no one did. Not even Ink. But, sometimes they had to confront him when he did the wrong thing for the right reason. They were...still working on it. 

     This time around, he had kidnapped Blue and brought him to the antivoid because he was feeling lonely. This wasn't the first time he had kidnapped Blue, and it probably wasn't going to be the last. 

     "For the thousandth time, Error! You can't kidnap your friend just because you're lonely! If you would've asked we could have invited you over for a movie night or something!" shouted Ink.

     Error crossed his arms. "How would I have known you wouldn't be busy?"

     "Well, sometimes people are. But, that doesn't mean you should kidnap them!"

     Error looked at Blue, and then back at Ink. "Do you promise?"

     Ink crossed his heart. "Promise."

     Suddenly, the strings wrapped around Blue disappeared, and he fell to the ground with a thud. (Y/N) ran over to him, helping him up by the arm. He engulfed her in a hug, making her giggle again. 

     "So...does that mean you want to do something together?" asked Error.

     Ink tapped his chin. "Well, If you really want to do something with us, we were planning on going on a rescue mission for Dream after we came to you."

     "Sure, I'll tag along on your little field trip. So where is this guy?"

     "His brother trapped him in stone."

     Error flinched. "Nightmare? Er...I don't really think he'd enjoy seeing my face again after I left the Villain Mob for you guys..."

     "Come on, Error," said (Y/N). "Nightmare doesn't even have to know you're there."

     Error thought about it. "Alright, fine. But, if he finds out I'm there, I'm booking it and leaving you guys behind."

     "Deal."

     This story was actually inspired by a dream I had about some real life friends, but I altered it a bit to fit the Undertale story. Which is also why Error supposedly left the Villain Mob. Canonically, he didn't. But, in my dream, a friend of mine mentioned that they were once a member of a gang that was involved in the dream, so I included that.

     I'll write the real first chapter later the same day this is uploaded, so stay tuned.
