IDENTITY-SWAPPED

chapter 8: a rough start

Blues POV:

Blue: "ok error I'm ready!"
I punched and kicked a snow puff to the ground, successfully destroying it in the process.
Error: "down boy, put the gun show away, this is only a training mission remember?"
I nodded up at him as I recollected my stance.
Blue: "ok. Sorry."
Error nodded, giving me the go ahead to complete my first ever mission.
Error: "ok. Follow me."
I walked with Error deep into the snowdin woods and into a hidden clearing that all AU's with a forest have. We stopped at the center, around us was several randomly placed snowmen.
Error: "I set this up earlier this morning, I figured we could start with a bit of target practice."
I nodded and summoned up a bone.
Error: "uh uh. No bone attacks this time kiddo. I'm going to teach you how to use string attack's today."
I felt my eyes sparkle with anticipation. I was super excited now.
Error: "I'd figure since you where doing so well in your sparring matches with dust, you'd be ready for the next level of training. But, it's going to be a lot harder than regular magic ok. Strings are both hard to summon, as well as hard to Control. So you're going to need to focus, got it?"
I nodded, giving him the most focused expression I could muster without going full blown (frisk face).
Error: "good. Let's start with the snowman in the center."

Blue: "ugh! I can't do it."
Error: "it's alright if you can't summon them the first time around, it took me years to learn this stuff, and we've only been here for a day."
Blue: "b-but you set up everything so nicely, and you where expecting me to get it right away... you're not... disappointed in me?"
I sniffled. Pouting up at him.
Error: "pfft hehehe. No! Of course not. You're still learning blue. Some things just need more practice than others. It's ok if you don't get it right away. Tell you what, why don't you open up a portal home for us this time?"
Blue: "GASP! All by myself!?"
Error: "yep, just like I taught you."
I nodded happily and put my hands out in front of me, focusing all my magic into producing a portal. I peaked to Error for a second to make sure he wasn't trying to give me a "helping hand" but he just stood their expectantly. Sigh. Sometimes I wonder what I ever did to deserve a friend as great as him. I went back to focusing on the portal. Soon I saw little blue sparks and a blue portal began to slowly open up in front of me.

Nightmares POV:

I was carrying a platter of food through the living room when I heard a portal begin to open. Everyone turned their attention to the center of the room as error and blueberry stepped out, I suppose back from their training.
Blue: "I DID IT!!! Error, did you see!? Did you see!?"
Error: "yah I saw, good job lil guy I knew you could do it."
Night: "so I take it that training went well?"
Blue: "oh... yah. That."
Error: "we met a bit of a hiccup in the road but nothing a bit more training can't solve. We'll get up bright and early tomorrow morning and try again, ain't that right blue?"
Blue: "yah thats right! I'll try my best!"
Night: "good, I expect to have another little destroyer running around within a year, less if you can manage it."
Error: "yah, I'm pretty confident we can do that. Right blue?"
Blue: "right!"
I nodded as I headed up the stairs with the food. Careful not to spill any of the hot soup as I went.

I opened the door gently with my magic as I stepped into the dark room.
Night: "hey princess, how you feeling?"
She yawned as she rubbed her eye sockets. Sitting up so that she could eat.
Night: "I brought you some nice warm soup for that throat of yours."
Dream: "(yawn) thank you brother. (Cough Cough)"
I sat down next to her on the bed and hugged her tightly.
Night: "sounds like that colds getting better."
Dream: "I hope so. Did blue get back yet?"
Night: "they just got back. He seemed pretty excited."
Dream yawned and laid her head on my shoulder. I guessed she was still tired.
Night: "come on dreamy... you need to eat something today."
She nodded.

Dreams POV:

It was dark and cold again. It almost felt like I was in my brothers forest all over again. At that though, I was soon surrounded by trees.
