"Hold it still!" Dust yelled as he watched Error with worry. Horror did his best to hold the ladder still.

"We have enough fruit Error! Now get down before you get hurt!" Nightmare yelled, tempted to just scoop him from the tree branches.

Error just laughed as he dropped a few more apples into the basket below. He knew they couldn't do anything except watch.

Blue and Error had planned a trip to Harvesttale (Farmtale?) for a while now. They finally got a break and will be staying for a few days. The Gang promised them no magic or tentacles to pick the fruits from the trees and gardens. Just good ol' fashioned hands.

Error lost his balance for a split second but soon found it. Scaring the crap out of the the already worried skeletons below.

Blue made his way up the ladder to retrieve a giggling destroyer. "Come back here!" He yelled both demandingly and playfully.

"͢C̷̴͢o͏m̷e͝͡ ̢a̶͡ǹ͏d̢͘͟ ̷c̕a͠t͏͢c͡h͜ ́m͜e͘͡͝!̵͡͡"̡ ͜͡  He teased as he climbed to taller, thinner branches. "͡Th̵͠è̴́ ̷͘b͠ȩs̨̢҉t̨ ̴̛͠a̶r͠e͏ ͝͞͏a҉͡͏l̨҉̵ways̀́ ҉a̵͠t̵͢͟ ͘t̡h́͠e̢̛ t͠o͝͡p̵͞!̧͢"̸͞  He reached the brightly colored fruit and aimed for the basket below. He climbed even farther up the tree into the stick-thin branches.

A sickening crack drove them to silence. The branch carrying Error gave in and he fell. He closed his eyesockets and the feeling of falling stopped. Error opened them again to find himself on the ground, surrounded by his friends.

Many of them were panicking while the rest looked at him fearfully. Sorrow written across each of their expressions.

He thought they were overreacting because he felt fine, just a little shooken up is all. He was wrong. When Error tried to use his left arm, he cried out in pain. He was used to his ribs being broken and missing, but his arms have only been broken once.

"Don't put any weight on it. It will just make it worse." Cross instructed. "Try not to look at it either, it will freak you out more than you already are."

Blue climbed down from the tree.

"Get him to MedTale. I know someone that can help us."

"̶Ǹ-n̛o!͜ ͝I ca͝n͟ s͡e̸ĺf h͡eal͘!" Error held his arm protectively, away from The Gang. He summoned some dark blue strings and wrapped his arm carefully into a sling.

A white light softly glowed from the sling as he sat criss-crossed in the lush grass.

"We still need to go to get it healed correctly." Blue walked up to him. "I promise we will not be there long."

Error thought it over. He came to an answer.

"͏Ń͝ǫ̵ ̛l̶̶̢ǫ̕͝n̡͠ge̸r̀͝ ̴̛̛th͝an̶ ̴̛͠a͜͏͞n̶ ͘h҉͝ou͢͝r,̴̵͟ ̵o̷̶͜k̶a͘͘y̨?̸"̸̡͞  The wind blew just as Error looked up. Cooling both the air and the skeletons off.

"No longer than an hour." Blue repeated reassuringly.

Error got up as a portal was created to the so place, waiting for Blue.

"Stay here, they may attack us if all of us are there." Blue explained to Nightmare and the others. "I think that the less of us there are, the least likely they are to attack us."

Many of them hesitated but each one of them obeyed.

"Now we better get going before that arm gets any worse." Blue pointed at Error's arm.

"̶̧B̧͡ye̶͡-͞"̸͝  Error stepped through the portal after Blue. He entered a dark room, not one's of a doctor's office. He heard some shuffling.

"̸͝͠H̢̨͜è̕͞y͢,̧́͟ ͝ẃ̶͞h͡e͜͡ŕ͝ȩ ͝a̧r̕e̢-́̕̕"̨̛͡ ̴

Thud.

Then it was pitch black.

"Sorry Error~" He dropped the bat. Blue picked up the body and tied it to a chair. "That it had to be this way~" His laughter filled the air and his small, heart-shaped eyelights were all that were visible as he went up the stairs.

"I'll fix you up later.. I've got some news to share first..~"
