I wake up to the scent of burgers, cake, and some other things I don't recognize. They must've set up the party while I was asleep then. I look around and see Nightmare watching me from the corner of the room, Dream standing beside him.
  Nightmare notices Error wake up and walks over to him. "Glad to see you awake Error." He begins. "You were out for several hours. Must've been very tired."
  "Y-Yeah." I reply, looking down at my scar covered hands. "T-ThIs DiSeAsE i-iS rEaLlY g-gEtTiNg tHe bEtTeR o-oF mE." I sigh as Nightmare and Dream help me stand up and start leading me somewhere, in pain almost every step of the way. "M-My mEdS h-hAvE w-wOrE oFf."
Dream sighs. "We'll get you to somewhere you can sit down and then we'll get them for you." He watches as Error nods and continues supporting Error as he walks. "Nightmare? What am I going to do? Once Ink learns of my alliance with you I'll more than likely be labeled as an enemy."
Nightmare sighs as well. "You can stay here. So can those you convince to join you. Even Blue can stay."
"Thank you Nightmare. I'll gather my stuff from the base and explain to Blue. Medic says Blue should be getting out of the hospital sometime this week." Dream says.
My eye lights turn into stars when I hear what Dream says. "R-ReAlLy?! T-ThAt'S a-aWeSoMe!"
Nightmare chuckles as him and Dream guide me to a chair. "Now now. Calm down. You're getting too excited." He sits down in a chair beside Error and uses his tentacles to grab the bag of medication from the counter. "Which one is it?"
I hesitate while I try to think of the name. "U-Um. C-Co. S-SoMeThInG."
  "Codeine? That's pretty strong." Nightmare says, pulling the bottle out of the bag. He grabs a glass of water with one of his tentacles and gets some medication out of the bottle before handing both items to Error.
I take the medicine then drink some water before setting the cup on the table and look at Nightmare again as I wait for the party to start.
Nightmare motions for Cross to bring the food in and watches as a triple layer chocolate cake, various burgers, chicken, ham and noodles are brought in the room and set on the table.
  I look at the spread of food with obvious hunger and curiosity in my actions. There is literally a triple layer chocolate cake. A triple layer chocolate cake! 'AwEsOmE! I lOvE cHoCoLaTe!' I think as I watch Cross divvy out the food with the help of Nightmare and Dust.
  "Welcome home Error!" The Bad Sanses shout after the food is divvied out.
  I smile and start eating, occasionally asking questions about what some of the food is.
(Timeskip brought to you by Ink trying to dust the nurses)
  I watch as Nightmare and Dream clear the dishes while Cross, Dust and Killer put presents on the table. Suddenly, I see Horror rushing in. His scarf looks burnt and the design is hardly recognizable. What was once a beautiful grey scarf with blood red spots to represent blood is now nothing but a pile of ash and fabric. "W-WhAt HaPpEnEd?" I ask. "HoW dId YoUr ScArF gEt DeStRoYeD?"
  Horror looks toward the kitchen. "It got caught on the stove and when Cross tried to get it loose he accidentally turned the burner on." He says sadly.
  I sigh, knowing I'll have to make him a new one. That scarf is too damaged to repair. "I'lL mAkE a NeW oNe. KeEp In MiNd It MaY tAkE mE aWhIlE. i CaN't Do SlEePlEsS nIgHtS lIkE i NoRmAlLy CaN aT tHe MoMeNt."
  Horror nods and puts his scarf in his inventory. He'll take care of it later. For now, he's more concerned with making sure Error's party goes perfectly as planned.
  I grab a present from Horror and open it, inside is a head dog, which I quickly throw at him, which he laughs at, and an empty book. "W-WhY's It EmPtY?" I ask.
  "That's a journal." Horror said. "You can sketch in it, draw in it, write songs, write poems, write stories and even write down your thoughts."
  I set the journal to the side and move on to the next present. This time it's from Dust. I open the present and find a new phone. I smile in appreciation and excitement. My old phone got wrecked in a battle with Ink last month.
