“One Small Dream” by @calcium-cat​ By accident, Dream has been shrunk into a little kid with no memory of the past 500 years, including his brother’s corruption. While they wait for a way to reverse it, he lives with Nightmare (who he calls “Midnight”) and the other Dark Sanses. In Chapter 9, Error stops by to steal some of Cross’s chocolate bars and is confronted by a small skeleton he doesn’t recognize. He ties him up, hoping to get some answers, when Dream calls to “Midnight” for help. 

Well at least, that’s what happens in the original fic. This is what happens when Error finds Nootmare instead. (follow-up to this audio) (art by @calcium-cat​)

“One Small Dream” Chapter 9 (original story by Calcium_Cat)(terrible modified version by Dale)

The child opened its mouth and yelled, “MIIIDNIIIGHHHHHTT!!!”

“A-a-a-aHh!” Error screamed, covering his ear canals.

A moment later, the sound of a teleport distracted Error from his flash of anger. Both he and the little anomaly looked over at the door in time to see Nightmare’s form materialise in front of them. His expression looked more annoyed than angry, but his twitching tentacles gave him away.

“Hblblblhlbl blblbl hblblbl blbl-" (alright, what have you done this ti-)” he groaned, only to stop and stare open mouthed at the two monsters.

“Midnight!”

“MIDNI- wait, wh-a-a-at?”

Nightmare glared at him. “Hblhblblb! bllblb llhlbl!" (Error! Put Him Down!) He demanded.

The glitch looked in confusion at the kid, then back at the scowling skeleton. “...Are you-u-u-u… wh-wh-what? Is this some ki-ki-kind of joke?”

“BLHLBL!" (NOW!)

Error had no idea what Nightmare had just said; he wasn't sure if he was even saying actual words. But it was easy to guess what he meant. “Okay, okay-ay-ay, I’m p-p-p-putting him down,” he said hastily, releasing his strings and dropping the kid onto the ground.

The weird, screechy child landed lightly on his feet and scurried over toward Nightmare. Peeking out from under Nightmare’s arm, he frowned and pointed at Error.

“He was- he stole Crossy’s chocolate and- a-and he was gonna eat it too, Midnight!”

“F-f-f-forget the stupid chocolate-te-te. What the heck-ck-ck is wro-wrong with Nightm-"

“Blblnl." (Enough) Nightmare cut him off with more aggressive gibberish, then looked down at the kid. After a moment of thought, Nightmare dislodged his grip from his clothing, and said firmly, “Blblbll bllbllblllb blblb blhblhlbl Blblbll bllbllblllb blblb blhblhlbl" (Dream, go to your room. I’ll talk to Error about the chocolate.)

Dream hesitated, glancing over at the other black skeleton, before nodding up at him. “Okay, Midnight.”

“Blhbllblhlbl," (Thank you) he said, patting him on the head with a tendril.

The screechy mystery child started walking away, but Error raised an impatient arm and stopped it. "Wait-t-t, I need answers-s-s. Why does he s-s-sound like that?"

The screechy mystery child gave him a puzzled look. "Sound like what?"

"Like an o-o-octopus, or some-some-something!" He waved at Nightmare's tentacled form. "Wh-wh-what is he even saying??"

The goopy skeleton raised a goopy browbone at him. "Blblblblbl hblblhlbl blbl hbl? Hblblhlbl." (What do you mean? I'm just talking)

"S-s-s-see? like that!"

The screechy mystery child looked really confused. "Midnight, I'm really confused. Why can't he understand you?"

Nightmare furrowed his brow at Error for a moment, then looked back at the kid. "Blhblblhl bhlbllblbhbl blbhbl blhbl. Blbhlblbl blblbbl." (I have no idea. Just ignore him.)

"Okay-y-y, I've had eno-o-o-ough of this. The-the others can d-deal with whatever is going-ing-ing on here," Error said, before stepping through a portal and leaving the bizarre scene behind.
