In a black void a lone figure sat on a plain, white armchair with a white desk in front of him. He sat there alone, writing in a book with a quill in his hand. The figure had blue eyes with spiky black hair. He reached into the pocket of his white trenchcoat and pulled out a small bottle of glowing ink. Taking off the lid he dipped the quill inside and continued to write with glowing text appearing on the pages as he went.

"This is coming along just fine, everything looks to be in order for this tale." He said to himself as a smile came to his face. Writing the last few words down he chuckled before setting the quill down and closing the book over, the symbol of a sword appearing on the front. "The people of this works will be having a lot of fun."

He snapped his fingers and the book disappeared, reappearing in another location. Said location was a large area filled with shelves filled with books with different symbols on the front as far as the eye could see.

The man sighed before placing his hands behind his back and reclining in his chair. After a few silent moments he saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was one of the books, only this one was kept in the desks drawer, close to the man. It had the symbol of a sun medallion on the front which glowed purple. "Hmmm..." He hummed to himself as he stared at the book, unable to take his eyes off of it.

He was brough out of his trance when a door appeared behind him suddenly and opened to reveal a woman standing there. She had light blue hair that she wore in a ponytail. She wore a simple light blue t-shirt and jeans with light blue shoes. In fact, her entire body was giving off a soft blue glow. "I figured you'd still be in here." She spoke in slight annoyance.

"Really? No 'how are you?' No 'hello?' Just straight to the annoyed tone." He responded sarcastically.

The woman rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. "Do you mind telling me why you're wasting your time making more universes to watch over while you should be out in the Multiverese looking for a way to bring back our son?" She demanded angrily.

"Symbol is dead Vivi, he gave up his soul remember? There's no way to bring him back even if Error Sans were to rewrite the code of his universe. There's no point in wasting energy."

Vivi just growled, walked up to the chair, turned it around and stared the man straight in the eye. "The only reason our son isn't alive anymore Author is because you were too busy making sure Metal Sonic got settled into his Equestria when you should have been guiding Symbol along the right path. Now how are we supposed to kill Xram and the Nightmare Fuels?"

"Do you not think I e been trying to develop ways to deal with that problem? Why do you think I dispatched Error Sans in the first place?" Author asked with a raised eyebrow. "Our son died he's, but in turn he gave us more ways of handling things without his assistance AND he died an honourable death by saving everyone. I think you should be more focused on that little fact and stop,trying to bring him back. If a piece of him dud survive I'm sure he'll find his way home eventually."

Author turned his chair around again, ending the discussion. Vivi sighed and hugged herself tightly. "It's just...you act as if you don't care."

Author sighed before pulling out a book with a glitch symbol on the front. "I do Vivi...believe me I do."


Inside Canterlot Mountain

Error walked slowly down the long dug out cave hallway, various doors built into the walls of the cave leaving to different rooms. Error ignored these doors and focused on the large silver doors at the end of the hallway. As he reached it he placed his hands on the door causing it to glow, the gears inside of the metal plating began to turn as the doors opened up revealing the couples treasury. Piles of gold going, jewels and random artefacts lay in a large pile in the wide dome shaped room. However there was a clear path through the coins that led to another door.

Upon opening the second door Error smiled widely as he looked about his trophy room. Dozens of various mementos from previous battles were either on racks on the wall or in glass containers on red pillows. From the black horns of an Error Scorpan to the wings of an Error Thestral. He reached an empty container and placed the horn fragment on the small pillow before sealing the container. He just stood and admired the new piece of his trophy collection, smiling as he knew that this was much more than a simple collection, it was a representation of his power and influence. Having bested all of these demonic opponents filled him with pride and determination.

"W-W-Well, guess I'll h-have to wait for-for my next opponent to-to-to add more to the collection. Right now, I-I-I-I have a beautiful w-woman to attend to."

With that said to himself, Error closed the treasury doors, reactivated the seal that only gave Error and Toriel access and teleported to just outside the underground garden where Toriel was tending to her plants. "I take it you've put your new toy away?" She asked with a smile.

"Y-Yep, it's safe and sound in the trophy-y-y room." Error answered as he took a few steps forward and sat down on the grass beside his fiancé.

"You've built up quite the collection dear, what will you do when you run out of room in that small room?"

"I'll ex-ex-expand the cave or keep a-a few around the caves." Error answered as he kept his glitching in check to avoid killing the plant life around him.

"I take it you'd use those Gaster Blasters you seem so fond of?" She recieved a nod in response. "I thought so. Where do you keep those things anyway?"

"I...don't k-know..."

"Best not to question it?"

"Yeah."

Toriel shook her head with giggling. "There is so much about you that even you yourself don't know."

"I k-know, it's really s-s-s-strange." Error shook himself before standing up and holding out his hand. "Anyway, I f-f-figured would could-cluld cuddle for awhile before I-I-I have to d-deal with somepony who screw-screwed with the time steam."

Toriel smiled warmly as she accreted her fiancés help as he pulled her up, only for her to tower over him due to his shortness. "Then let's get to the living room, and prepare for the cuddling of your life little skeleton."

As Toriel began walkimg down one of the caves with a warm smile Error just smirked and ran after her.


Author's Note

This was not filler, this is important to the main plotline

Ok. Here's what that first but was about.

Author is Errors Displacer and Vivi isn't essentially his romantic partner but more a business partner. Years ago they created a soul capable of destroying an evil being known as Xram and a parasite known as the Nightmare Fuels. This soul was named Symbol. It was placed in a human body with no memory of its creation. As the young human Symbol faught his way through his Equestria he encountered Xram who had destroyed one of his friends universes and was after his. He managed to fight off Xram and save the rest of the Chaos Family (the displaced family everyone of my displaced belong to) and the known multiverse. However, to do so he used his life energy to add to a final attack which caused his soul to be wiped from existence shortly after the battle. Author was unable to do anything and Vivi is still shaken by the loss of her son.
