Mr. Erratum

Chapter Six

The next day, in which Erratum is still in a mad mood, Paperjam, Killer and Dust all went to find Cross. Once they did, they found him with Nightmare, just watching him work. "Cross! pst!" Paperjam hissed, Cross looked over to them, then asked, "what?" He whispered, Killer waved his hand towards himself, "come here!" He responded, Cross rolled his eyes, and walked over to them.

"So, you need to get information out of Nightmare?" Cross asked in disbelief, Dust nodded, "yeah, can you?" Cross stayed silent for awhile, "why? why do you need me to do this?" He asked suspiciously, They all looked at each other, then back to cross, "You see, Mr. erratum has been in a bad mood, and we've been looking into it" Paperjam replied, Cross looked at them confused, "and what does nightmar- i mean, Mr. Nightmare have to with this?" He asked, Paperjam replied quickly, "apparently Nightmare gave him something, and that's whats got his mood low" Cross thought for a bit, "Fine, i'll do it" They cheered, Cross sighed, "Give me a hour or so".

Cross sighed again, He walked back over to Nightmare and continued to watch him, wondering when he should ask about this photo. He sighed again, then spoke, "Mr. Nightmare" Cross started, Nightmare looked up, "Yes cross?" He questioned, "i was wondering... what did that photo look like?" He asked, Nightmare gave his full attention to cross, "Where did you hear about that?" Nightmare questioned.

"That doesn't matter, what did it look like?" Nightmare sighed, and gave Cross a suspicious look, "I actually took a photo of it, i didn't recognize Erratum at first, and was going to send it to Dream to see if he knew who they were... here I'll show you" Nightmare pulled out his phone and showed cross the picture.

"Can I take a photo of that?" Cross asked, Nightmare gave him a weird look, "...okay? here." Cross looked at the photo, then his eyes went wide.

Two hours later, it was lunch time, and Cross found the group, "Oh! Hi Cross, did you, do it?" Paperjam asked, Cross nodded, "Mr. Nightmare had it on his phone" He showed them the photo, "Damn, that's kinda creepy," Killer noted, seeing the older lookalikes of him and his friends, "Hey, hey look, Erratum looks younger," Horror stated, they all nodded, "Hey cross, was there anything on the back?" Dust asked, Cross sighed, "Mr. Nightmare said he didn't check, Sorry" He told them, Paperjam nodded, "thanks for the help, Cross" Cross smiled, "Anytime".

Paperjam sighed, "Well, what can we do now?" He asked, everyone shrugged, "This got us nowhere" Killer stated, Dust sighed, then paused, "Hey, maybe we could find the original photo, that might help" He voiced, Horror spoke up, "yeah, something could be on the back" he said.

Paperjam beamed, "Okay! wait- how are we going to find it?" He asked, Undyne responded, "Well, we could start by searching his desk" She offered, Dust looked at her, "isn't that an invasion of privacy?" She shrugged. "I'm sure it will be fine, I think..." She said, more to herself then anything.

After some debate, Paperjam, Undyne, Killer and Horror all went to Erratum's desk. "You think it's here?" Killer spoke, Paperjam shrugged, "I Don't know, but it's the best choice we got" Dust sighed, "i hope we don't get in trouble for this... where's Mr. Erratum?" Dust questioned, Paperjam responded, "He's hanging out with my dad and Mr. Nightmare, we only have around forty-five Minutes though, so lets be quick as we can" He stated as they walked into the classroom.

After looking around a bit, the children found nothing, only chocolate wrappers and Knitting needles. Then suddenly, Dust spoke up, "Hey guys, I think I found something" Paperjam quickly walked over to him, the others following soon after. Dust pulled up a small, one-eyed puppet that vaguely looked like one of the people in the photo. 

Undyne spoke up, "Hey, isn't that one of the people in the picture" She asked, Killer pulled out his phone, and looked at the photo cross sent him, "Yeah, he's the one Erratum was hugging, he looks goopy" He responded, "they must be close then..." Horror noted, Paperjam sighed, "We found practically nothing..." He whined, Undyne nodded, "We gotta go now, Mr. Erratum should be back soon" Dust put the Puppet back, "Let's go then" He ordered.

It was the end of the day, and still, they were stuck on what to do. Until, Undyne suggested something, that was probably illegal. "Why don't we sneak into their house?" She said on a whim, Dust replied, gaping at her, "w-what? like, breaking in?" He asked, she shrugged, "if you wanna look at it like that, I guess." She responded, her words being an answer for themselves.

Paperjam nods, "i guess, but we don't even know where they live" It was silent, Then Dust spoke up, "You said Mr. Erratum live with Mr. Blue?" Dust slowly asked, "Yeah, why?" Paperjam responded, frowning. Dust stayed silent for a while, almost if contemplating if he should continue, in the end, he does, "I know where Mr. Blue lives..." He muttered.

Undyne's eyebrows rose, "How do you know that?" She asked, confused. "That doesn't matter, i- i just do!" He cries out, Turning purple. "Dust, do you think you could take us there?" Paperjam asked, deciding to move the conversation along for Dust's sake. 

Dust looked hesitant, then shook his head, "No, i can't... but... i guess i could send you the address..." He offered, Paperjam nodded, "Thanks Dust, Anyway, who's coming with me?" Paperjam asked, Undyne quickly responded, "i'm with you all the way! let's help Mr. Erratum!" She shouted, Killer and Horror agreed soon after, Alphys and Fresh quickly denied though, "Look PJ, I don't think my brothers would be okay with that..." Fresh reasoned, "But i won't tell Error for you," He said, Paperjam nodded, Then looked at Undyne, Killer and Horror, "Okay tomorrow we'll go".
