Retconned

Chapter Five

There is freedom in a save...

It said things when the last person Blueberry thought he'd find on his doorstep was there, he blinked at the smiling face of Goth. The clothing were new, and if it wasn't for the gold and bits of red Goth would have been invisible while in the anti-void.
And.. a save point lantern?
"Come on in Goth, your just in time for lunch," Blueberry said inviting the eternal child inside.
OoOoO
"I've been outside the anti-void for two hours," Goth said with almost manic glee.
"Wow, that's great Goth," Blueberry said happily, knowing how depressing the anti-void got. Heck after a point he himself started to Error there, thankfully he only started to hear there voices while in that other world. He really didn't want to know if Goth heard them, after all whenever had happened to him caused him body to not crash in that world like his body had started to.
"I'm still worried though, what if I get separated from the save point lantern," Goth said, looking to the lantern which was on the chair next to him.
"Let's just hope it doesn't come to that," Blueberry said after a few minutes silence.
"Hey, where is your brother?" Goth asked.
"Oh, he said he'd be away for a few days. I think he has something to discuss with Ink, and you know he never stays still.
"Think you can teach me to make that weird Taco that you told me about last time Error grabbed you?" Goth asked.
"Of course, I The Awesome Sans will teach you," Blueberry said.
"Sweet," Goth said, and it would be sweet after all he was being taught how to make a chocolate Taco.
OoOoO
Papyrus could only stare in confusion at his and Sans home which smoke coming out of it, and the main front window broken.
He could see Sans talking to the royal guard, looking rather embarrassed.
What the heck actually happened here?
He then realized that there was a figure standing next to his brother.
"Do I even want to know?" Papyrus asked walking over as the interview between the guard and Sans ended.
"Papy... welcome home," Sans said smiling a certain smile, one that told Papyrus he really didn't want to know.
"Does Cross have a Taco and chocolate radar or something," the other figure moaned out, revealing a young male voice, probably a child.
"The one we managed to eat was wonderful..." Sans pouted.
Cross of course, him and his Taco obsession.
Thankfully none of there world or people had been kidnapped this time, once was enough.
"You going to introduce me to your friend," Papyrus asked as he didn't recognize the kid.
"Papy, meet Goth. Goth this is my brother Papyrus!" Sans said happily.
"Hi," The kid said looking at him, and yeah.. the kid was definitely a kid of an alternate San's.
"Nice to meet you kid," Papyrus said grinning.
"So did you find Ink?" Sans asked.
"Nah, no luck. Still wondering why the others are going crazy over this latest meeting with Error. From what I heard he didn't even do anything to them this time," Papyrus said with a yawn, he never noticed how nervous Goth was for a moment.
OoOoO
Somehow Goth found himself staying the night, it was extremely strange to sleep then his bed in the void.
Yet, it was freeing even though the only reason he wasn't being wiped from existence was due to Cross strange gift. The save point glowed, sending gold light everywhere.
A tear slowly slid down his face, knowing that this was only a temporary thing. After all, he was just a fragment of something forgotten. His parent were strangers, Palette in all his versions had different lives. That was why he usually stays as the child alts of himself. Some of the others were adult, had children that no longer existed.
He didn't dare take there forms, the thought of his lost children or children to be were too much and had almost driven him to insanity at least once.
It was also a bit freaky as his alt forms, that were with Child were frozen in time at the moment of there wiped existence. He did not want to somehow become stuck in an adult pregnant body that would not be able to give birth.
Also the mom jokes Fresh started to tell quickly got annoying.
A soft sob shook his frame.
OoOoO
Insomnia had Papyrus out of bed for a quick smoke and a bit of alcohol, memories of the resets haunting him.
Of course on the way back to bed, he was surprised to hear the faint sound of crying from the guest room.
He paused and stared at the door, he really didn't know the kid and he knew there was something strange about him.
"Kid, are you alright?" he finally asked, the sobbing stopped and there was silence.
"I'm fine..." came the quiet reply, he definitely sounded not okay.
"Kid?" he asked.
"Please... don't ask," Goth whispered, there was nothing after that.
Slowly Papyrus backed away frowning, wondering just what the story was so he could help the kid.
He didn't sleep well after that.
OoOoO
Sans hummed to himself as he cleaned the dishes, Goth had just left ten minutes ago after eating.
He sighed, knowing there was nothing he could do but support the immortal child and be his friend. He would not replace Goth's family, because Goth's family existed sill. It was Goth, who's existence was wiped out.
He heard the sound of Papy stirring, the lazy skeleton had probably had insomnia again or nightmares.
