ErrorInk:To Be Enemies Or Not To Be Enemies

Chapter 27: Swap!

There was an explosion outside. It made each of us jump. I went out to investigate. But Dust was right with me after he got Blue to stay inside. Dust shuts the front door behind him and we turn to see a sight. Ink had Nightmare and Dream hanging from two different trees, purple chains keeping them from doing anything. Ink stood between the trees, shaking his head and rubbing his forehead in frustration.

"What the heck happened?"Dust asks

"Nightmare tried to hug Dream with his tentacles, being friendly oddly enough. But due to whatever that glitchy kid did, Dream didn't like that and well, caused that explosion, knocking him away and attacking. I swear these boneheads fight over the silliest of things no matter the situation or conditions. I wouldn't be surprised if they fought at just catching the other looking at them. Jeez."Ink explains

I facepalm, knowing the reason of the two acting so "odd". I look at Nightmare, but to them I was looking at Dream. Dust and Ink begin talking. Dust was finally getting a full explanation.

"YoU'vE tAlKeD t0 y0ur br0ther witHout fiGhting bEfore. TRy iT agAin, cAuSe yOur fiGhts aRen't hElpiNg."I state

Nightmare looks at me and I narrow my eyes to show that I'm serious. He sighs and nods. I turn to Dream, finding him now using Nightmare's calm form to slip out of the chains and trying to sneak off. I quickly go to him and grab him by the collar of his clothes from before.

"SaMe tO yoU. You'Re GuIlTy aS wElL, dOn'T TrY sNeaKiNg oUt oF tHiS. NoW Go anD tAlK. YoU'Re lEaDeRs anD gUaRdIaNs of pOsItIvItY oR nEgAtIvIty, nOt baByBoNes tOdDlErs. AcT lIkE iT!"I say with a shake of my head

"Fine..."Dream says

I drag him over to Nightmare and smirk.

"InKy, pUt DrEam doWn. I tAlKeD sOmE sEnSe iNtO ThEsE 2. ThEy'Ll bE gOoD."I say, referencing to Nightmare stuck as Dream 

"Got it, Glitchy."Ink says, snapping his fingers

The chains melted away and Nightmare hit the ground roughly.

"Dream really has to work on his landing."Dust says

Nightmare let a muffled growl out, muffled by his face in the ground. I shove Dream over to him, but quickly notice something in each of their crowns. I pluck them out and they seemed to be little containers. I leave the two to talk, but made a string barrier around them so they don't leave and have a proper private chat. I go over to Dust and Ink. Just in time to witness Ink put a finger in Dust's face.

"When the heck are you gonna be brave and just tell Blue ya like him already? It's very dang obvious and I'm tired of you teasing Error and I when you haven't done anything that you tell!"Ink snaps, seeming very angry and passionate as he spoke

Dust was silent. He was completely caught off-guard by this. I place a hand on each of Ink's shoulders and gently drag him back to give Dust some personal space.

"WoAh, oKay, InKy. CaLm dOwn tHeRe. No neEd tO pOiNt fInGeRs aT aNyOne. CaLm. BrEaThE. I'm suRe DusT pLaNs tO bE a bRaVe bOi aNd Do wHat yOu sAiD."I say, holding Ink gently and giving a hinting gaze at Dust from behind Ink

"Ugh....Okay...You're right."Ink sighs

"Yep! I'm a brave boi! I can do this!"Dust assures Ink

"Is everything okay out here?"Blue asks from behind Dust

Dust whirls around and jumps at Blue being there.

"Not a brave enough boi for this!"Dust exclaims, then teleports away

(sorry I just got that internet meme on my mind)

Blue was completely clueless to the situation though, he just tilts his head confusedly. He then shrugs it off, not questioning it.
