Mr. Erratum - Part 3

Start from the beginning
                                        

The kitchen was now fully stocked even if he didn't know what more than half of the stuff was.

The bathroom on the hand got painted a nice blue color with decorations being put on the wall. Some wall decorations looking like bubbles and ducklings.

The kids' room was all set up. Painted a soft pastel blue and orange with wall decorations on it. All the furniture set up. One side having Void's toddler bed, the other side having Null's child sized bed. The vanity was in the middle, up against the wall. He made sure to get them toys and a toy chest to put them in. Most toys he made on his own with his strings or a needle and thread.

The only room that was almost empty was his sewing/knitting room. With no reason to have a bed, as he doesn't sleep and if he wants to the couch or floor would work fine, there was only a desk, sewing machine, some fabrics, yarn, buttons and needles. He hasn't gotten around to panting it yet, having not bought enough paint but not feeling like going and getting some more just yet.

It took a week, but their home was slowly looking better and better.

Hearing the sound of a front door opening and shutting, Erratum twitched. Glancing to the front door, he hummed under his breath. He has seen his neighbor but has yet to meet her. She was an older woman, looking to be in her 50s-60s with pepper colored hair done up in a braid. Blue eyes, tan skin that spoke of being outside and usually dressed in a long skirt and blouse. She usually left in early mornings and came back late at night. James mentioned she had a job, her last year before retiring, so it must be her work hours.

Shrugging it off, Erratum pulled out his phone. Opening it up, he blinked when something popped up. Tapping it, his eyes lit up.

"HeY YoU twO TeRRoRs." Null and Void looked up at Erratum, eyes bright and happy as they munch on their food. "HoW WOuLD yOU TwO lIKe TO SEE a StAR shoWEr?"

"What's a star shower, Daddy?" Null asked with a pout. "I didn't know that stars could get dirty!"

Erratum thought back to Outertale and the various copies in which he stained planets and stars with blood and dust. "ThEY CaN, buT i'M nOT TAlkINg abOUT A ShoWER tHAt DEaLS WiTh WatER." Erratum explains, turning his phone around and showing the two children what is on it. Both gasp and look at it with starry eyes. On the screen, it shows a dark sky with stars falling. "A StAR SHoWER iS A SHoWEr oF stARs, nOT WatER."

"Ah! Ah!" Void happily claps, feet kicking up in the air happily.

"Yeah, Daddy, we wanna go!" Null cheered excitedly.

"okAY ThEN. We'LL GO WhEN yoU'RE dONE EaTiNG." Erratum nodded at their food, making the kids rush back to eating. Trying to finish as soon as they can. Erratum looks back at his phone, glancing at where the star shower was going to happen.

'Looks like I'll have to make a portal to this Australia place. Better to find a safe spot where no one is.' Erratum mentally planed. 'Might be daylight here, but it should be dark enough there to see the stars already. No use in waiting an hour or more and missing it.'

"Done~!"

"Nyaa~!"

Glancing up, Erratum snorted at the messy faces and plates. "alRiGhT. LEtS ClEaN uP AnD GeT GoinG." Erratum said, getting up after putting his phone in his pocket.

"Yaaay~!"

"Daddy, why is it dark here but light at home?" Null asked Erratum while he and Void were being carried.

"WhEN ThE SUN ComES UP whEre WE aRE, ThE MoON COmEs UP oN oThEr sIDE oF EaRTH. EaRtH SpINs." Erratum simply explained, not wanting to get into too much detail and confuse the kids, while walking up a cliff. Making sure not to get close to the ledge for the children's sake, he sat down a blanket he had on one arm on the grass. Sitting the kids down on it, he then sat down. Sighing when the kids decided to crawl up on his lap.
