Finally. After all the years they were stuck underground, the RESETS, they were finally free. Sans felt something he hadn't felt in a long while. He felt HOPE. It was the best feeling in the world! Looking at the surface, stepping on the dirt covered hills, it felt amazing. It wasn't the first time he had this feeling. He had been on the surface about three times now, but it still felt like the first.

He had totally forgotten what the surface was like since all the Genocide happened. It might've been heartbreaking, hell, it even drove him crazy. But, he's been moving on, past all the memories and the nightmares. Frisk also promised to never RESET again, unless it was for a good reason. So that gave him a little more HOPE. He had bonded with Frisk throughout the runs, getting to know them a little bit more each time. Sans practically felt like an actual uncle to Frisk, knowing so much about their life. Frisk even told Sans things that the others didn't know about. Including their past family. It was quite depressing actually, hearing what their biological parents did to them.

Seeing his bro look at the night sky for the first time made Sans smile, the glimmer of HOPE in Papyrus's eyes showing all over his face. Undyne and Alphys were already running up to the very top of the mountain to see the sky better. Sans looked at Frisk next to Toriel, smiling at the kid. Frisk gladly smiled back, giving Sans a secret fist bump. Sans chuckled as Papyrus picked him up, chasing after Undyne and Alphys.

"COME, BROTHER! I WANT TO SEE THE LIGHTS IN THE SKY BETTER!" Papyrus said, being careful not to trip on branches and lumps in the ground. Frisk was quickly trying to catch up with the two, just to be stopped by Toriel, telling them it was dangerous to run up a mountain, so they had to walk. When everyone got on the peak of Mt. Ebbot, they all got comfortable, which was hard because of the dirt. "SANS, WHAT ARE THOSE LIGHTS IN THE SKY?" Papyrus asked Sans, pointing at one of the many stars in the sky. "that's called a star, bro." Sans replied. He knew this not because of all books about the surface in the underground, but he was actually born on the surface. Papyrus was also born on the surface but was probably too young to remember life on the surface. They lived in a monster village near the bottom of Ebott, but because of the war, he and Pap had to move to the Underground. His parents died when they were young, which made life even harder to live in the underground.

"WOWIE! THE STARS ARE SO PRETTY!" Papyrus said, unable to look away from the sky. "They sure are punk!" Undyne said, putting her arm around Alphys and squeezing her close, causing Alphys to blush deeply. Alphys had studied about stars in her lab but had never seen them for herself. It was remarkable, she just wanted to get out a notepad and write her experience, but realized all of her stuff was back at her lab.

Sans fell asleep quickly, darkness making him more tired than usual. "SANS! WAKE UP, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE STARS!" Papyrus yelled, not able to get angry at this beautiful moment in his life. "sorry bro, I'm just 'bone' tired today." He said, too lazy to think of a better pun. "SANS THAT WAS BAD AND YOU KNOW IT." Papyrus said, glaring at Sans through the darkness. "yeah, I know." He said, looking back up at the stars. It was truly a brilliant sight.

1 YEAR LATER

It was a beautiful day on the surface, birds were singing, the sun was rising, it was just perfect. The humans had finally accepted monsters above ground, though some still trying to get rid of them, everyone was in peace. Sans house was quiet, having Papyrus at Undyne and Alphys' house, it was like a day off from work. Sans' HP had gone up significantly in the past year on the surface. He had actually become happy and had an actual smile on all time the time. He loved life on the surface, it was bright, warm, and wasn't snowing all the time, which was a huge relief to him. He had got tired of all the snow in Snowdin. He also had an ACTUAL job! That he actually worked at! His life had improved a lot.

Sans was lying in his bed, not knowing it was the monsters 1 year anniversary for being on the surface. Yes, Asgore made a holiday for leaving the Underground. The humans also made it a holiday, which was great! Monsters and humans could just party and hang out together. Sans kept sleeping even when his alarm went off. He just didn't want to be bothered, but he quickly realized that Tori was having a party at her house. In two minutes! "oh boy, Pap is gonna kill me if I don't there in time." he said to himself, remembering the last time he was late for a special occasion. Just the thought of it made him chuckle.

Running out the door of his house, Sans quickly disappeared out of thin air. Even though Tori's house was right around the block, he was still a bit too lazy to walk. When he got to her door, he was quickly greeted by a huge hug from Frisk. "Sans, finally! I thought you weren't going to make it!" They said, letting Sans out of their grasp. "heh, sorry kiddo, I over slept a bit." The parka wearing monster replied, looking down at Frisk with a smile on his face. They were wearing a blue jacket with two purple stripes on it. Since they grew out of their usual sweater, Toriel made them the jacket. It was a tad big on them, but they still wore it. "hey, how 'bout we go inside, I'm dying out here." He said, realizing that he was already dead.

The party was just like any other party with the gang, Sans sat and slept on the couch, Toriel would make some delicious pie, Papyrus and Metteton would perform a little show, Undyne and Alphys would just watch, even though it was very cringy, and Asgore would just sip his tea in a corner. After everyone said their goodbyes, it was almost dark. "see ya Tori, great party!" Sans said, walking out the door with Papyrus carrying some leftover pie. "You are very welcome my boney friend." the goat monster replied, Frisk waving goodbye before closing the door behind the two brothers.

While the two brothers were walking, Papyrus was looking up at the dark sky. "Sans, do you think he is watching us?" The taller skeleton asked in a softer tone. Sans looked up at the star filled sky, putting a shoulder on his bro's shoulder. "yeah bro, I bet ya he is." the short skeleton said. "he would've loved it on the surface." With that, the skeletons stayed quiet, walking the rest of the way home.

A/N: Wow. That was the first chapter of rewritten. This is so much different than the original story, so hope you enjoyed it!
