All the skeletons were now fighting together. Sometimes they made rules. Other times they just shoot attacks at each other as practice. Cross also noticed that Nightmare was actually happy. He usually looked tired or depressed, but for the first time Cross had actually seen him laugh.

"Come on guys it's time for lunch." Said Geno. They all stopped and started walking back inside. They didn't talk much at lunch since they were all warn out.

Cross decided to stay in Dream and Nightmare's group for the rest of the day. Classic had asked him to read to him again, even though Blue was there now he seemed to like the way Cross read.

"Can I ask you a question?" Asked Cross as he gave Classic his note pad and pencil. Classic nodded.

"Why don't you talk?" He asked curiously. Classic faltered, a look of fear washing over him. "It's okay you don't have to answer if you don't want to I-"

Classic shook his head. "It's alright" he wrote down. He wrote for a long time before he let Cross see it.

I was the first of XGaster's experiments so he left me and used me as the perfect copy. He left me in this video game like prison where the character or player would do things and whatever they did influenced the outcome. I can't even remember how many timelines they did, but no matter what I said or what I did that wouldn't change what they did.

Cross nodded, signaling to Classic to keep going.

I could say the same exact thing and they could either be my best friend or kill all my friends and family. So I stopped talking since nothing would change if I talked anyway.

Cross nodded. "I'm sorry." He said. Classic shook his head. 'You didn't do anything' he wrote. "I'm still sorry." Said Cross. Classic nodded. He didn't even know this 'XGaster' guy yet, but he already hated him.

"Do you know who that tombstone outside the hospital represents?" Cross asked.

Classic furrowed his brow. 'It's someone very close to Nightmare, his name was Error.' He wrote. Cross smiled. "Anything else?" He asked.

'I think you should ask Nightmare for more information.' He wrote. Cross sighed and nodded. "Thanks anyways."

Sci sighed. "What do you need Farm?" He asked.

Farm looked curious at the container Sci was staring at. "What are you doing?" He asked.

Sci was carefully studying the container of the blue, liquid like substance, W had brought him earlier.

"Ummm- none of your business." He said.

Farm looked skeptically at him. He looked at the liquid closely. A wave of realization came over him. "IS THAT ERROR'S MAGIC!" He yelled.

Sci put a hand over his mouth. "Shhh, but yes." He whispered, hoping the other would follow.

"What are you doing with it?" The other whispered. Sci took a deep breath in.

"I think I found out how to bring him back." He said. Farm raised his eye brows in shock.

"Now? Why now? It's been almost 5 years." Said Farm.

Sci sighed. "For many reasons actually. 1. W, Geno, Outer and Nightmare miss him 2. I want to see if it's actually possible to do so and 3. It would be a good idea to have him fight with us against X." Explained Sci.

Farm nodded. "I guess that makes sense."
Sci went back to studying the magic. Then he carefully took out a syringe that contained lighter blue liquid with, numbers in it? It was quite a peculiar thing to see.

Sci slowly injected or rather poured the liquid into the magic. The magic started glowing and turning lighter. It didn't stop and stayed that exact shade of electric blue. It looked much less like water now and more like magic. Sci was beaming.

He moved to write something in his notebook. "Yes, I did it, it worked!" He screamed happily.

Farm smiled at his enthusiasm. "All I need now is to make a larger dose, and then its done." He said as he grabbed a new, larger syringe. Farm thought for a while.

"Wouldn't you need four?" He asked. Sci faltered and looked at him curiously.

"Four what?" He asked.

"Four doses?" Said Farm, doubtfully.

Sci furrowed his brows as he thought. Then his face changed to one of agreement. "Of course you're a genius Farm." He hugged him tightly. A light shade of green dusted Farm's cheeks, though Sci didn't seem to notice as he want back to his notes.

"He needs four, but that could possibly take longer. Ohh well."

Cross and Nightmare were once again outside in front of the tombstone. Cross had tried to ask Nightmare subtle questions through the rest of the day, but the other would push them away as if it was a sore subject.

"Night can I ask you a question?" He asked.

Nightmare nodded, not taking his eyes off of the tombstone. Cross sighed. "You promise to answer truthfully?" He asked.

Nightmare turned to look at him with a curious look. "Of course." He said.

Cross took a deep breath in, contemplating how he could say this in the calmest way possible. "Who IS the person that is represented by the tombstone?"

Nightmare visibly tensed up. His eyes looking close to tears. "Ummm- he umm he was my... my.... my best friend. Yeah he was one of my best friends." He said nervously. Technically he wasn't lying. Error WAS one of his best friends.

Cross didn't like the way Nightmare responded though. "Are you sure?"

Nightmare nodded nervously. "You said that he is not dead right?" Cross asked.

"Correct."

"So where is he then? And why does he have a tomb stone?"

Nightmare sighed. "I can't answer the first one, since I'm not allowed to, but a lot of people don't know so you won't be left out of anything. As for the second question, he is sorta in a deep sleep so some people consider him dead and made him a tombstone." He finished.

This just confused Cross even more. Though he decided to leave it at that since Nightmare seemed to get very nervous whenever he asked about it.
————————————————————
"Do you know anything about Error?" Cross asked.

The question took Corrupted by surprise. He nodded. "Can you tell me?" He asked.

Corrupted shrugged. "I don't think Passive would like that, but I guess a few details wouldn't hurt." He said. Cross beamed, his face lighting up. Corrupted smiled, knowing that he brought him that happiness. Though it did kinda hurt that a positive aura was so close to him.

"He left about five years ago on May 2, he was very close to Passive and me also with Outer, Geno and Ink." He finished. Cross nodded.

"Do you think he will come back?" He asked. Corrupted sighed.

"Yes."
————————————————————
This was his chance. Cross had fallen asleep and Corrupted left again. Chara possessed Cross and left Cross in his ghost form. Thankfully he didn't go through the bed.....yet.

Where was Chara going? To the lab of course. He saw where the entrance was, when they went into lock down, and wanted to meet, and talk to XGaster in person.

He slowly made his way outside and to the side of the hospital. Being a small boy, it was very easy for him not to make too much noise.

He was about to open the door, but decided to eavesdrop on the conversation that was happening inside.

"Do I tell Nightmare?" Asked the voice, Chara remembered to be the scientist.

"No. Don't tell anyone until we can actually do it. It may be very surprising for people if it does work, but we don't want to get anyone's hopes up." Said, who Chara guesses to be, W.

"Right." Said Sci.

They stopped talking, and Chara thought this was the perfect chance. He slowly opened the door. No one was in eyesight to him.

"Uhhh- W. There's a Chara in here." Said Sci as he looked at Chara.

W came out and looked at him as well. "Hmm I don't think I've ever seen you before." He said. Then he noticed the clothes he was wearing. There was a bit of a difference from his and Cross' clothes, but anyone could see the white and black resemblance.

"Are you Cross' Chara?" He asked.

Chara nodded. W smiled curiously. "And why have you come down here?" He asked.

Chara hesitated. "I Uhh wanted to talk to you." He said. W smiled even wider.

"We'll go on then. You can go back to your work Sci." He said. Sci left, leaving only Chara and W.

"Is there anything specific you wanted to ask me about?" He asked, as he sat down, in a chair, to be at eye level with Chara.

Chara also sat down. "I wanted to know why you only have skeletons that have had trauma with XGaster." He said

W was taken aback. "This is not a regular mental hospital is it?" Asked Chara.

W shook his head. "No, but I do have to ask why you think this?" He asked.

Chara sighed. "Well for one all the skeletons have a strange connection to XGaster, which would be very hard to find unless you were deliberately trying to find them. Also a mental hospital usually has mentally insane or unstable people, and even though Horror and maybe even Dust do kinda resemble that, most of the people here are just scared and broken." Chara explained.

W took a deep breath in. "My brother and I used to have a dream. To see the multiverse, but he got to addicted to all the possibilities the power could bring him. He went crazy and started experimenting with things he shouldn't have. So I started the SS mental hospital. Do you know what the SS stands for?" He asked.

Chara shook his head. "It stands for Sans Sanctuary." He said.

Chara was surprised. "Isn't Cross supposed to be named Sans?" He asked.

W nodded. "You know Classic right?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Well Classic is the original Sans that's why his name is Classic. Everyone else is a copy of him, an experiment. My brother would torture them just to see what would happen, so I decided to bring them to the hospital." He explained.

Chara nodded in understanding. "You are a very smart person Chara, not even the staff figured that out before I explained it to them." He said.

Chara smiled. "What are you going to do if he can't be stopped?" He asked.

W frowned and sighed. "I might have to kill him, it's the only way. Though I think a part of me can get through to him, and make him see that what he is doing is a bad thing. Most people are blinded by the fact that they think they are doing a good thing."

Chara nodded. "I really liked talking to you Chara, I hope we can do it again." He said.

"Yeah me too." He said with a smile.

"Though I think it's time for you to return, since I don't think Cross will be very happy about waking up as a ghost." He said with a chuckle.

Chara laughed at that too. "Yeah I guess you're right." He walked to the door, said goodbye to W, and started walking back to the front of the hospital.

He started laughing when he saw that Cross was now under the bed. He traded places, so that now he was the ghost, but he couldn't really do anything about him being under the bed so he left him there.

'Hey Chara' said Nightmare, he was also in his ghost form.

Chara gave him a nod. 'Where is Corrupted?' He asked.

Nightmare frowned. 'Probably giving the rest of them nightmares.' He said sadly.
Chara nodded. 'Where were you?' He asked curiously.

'Umm- with W' he said. Nightmare nodded curiously.
