"OH, EM, GEE! This is the perfect idea!" I scream at myself as I look at my pictures of Sans in a pirate outfit. "I am so glad I thought this up!" I smile as I hug my computer. I never thought the day that I finally make my own Undertale AU would come!
"Hm, I wonder what I should call it," I think aloud with a dumb smile on my face.
"...Piratetale.."
"Wait, who said that?" I yelled as I looked around my room, but nobody else was in here.
"That was.. extremely weird. Okay. But- yeah! Piratetale is the name!" I open up my window and screech a "Yahoo!" like usual. The neighbors and the pedestrians look at me like I'm a deranged idiot. Hey, you don't know me! I close the window and continue my day like usual.
"heh heh, look at that idiot. already made an au that she knows is going to crash," says a skeleton whose bones are red and black.
"Are you giving me a challenge, Error?" says another skeleton whose head is spattered with paint.
"are you up for it, ink?" Error asks.
"Yeah. Let the best one win," Ink replies.
"Lets see.." I mumble as I look around the nearest technology store- Wally's Manhattan. "Ah, here it is. I've been meaning to get actual animating software for a while." I start daydreaming as I look at the small box with the words "EMPORIUM CREATIONS" on the top. There's only a disc and a manual inside though.
"Oh, Sa~ans.."
I snap out of my daydream just as people begin to notice and wipe away the drool that had started coming out of my mouth. Maybe I should stop doing that in public.
I plop down into my desk chair and turn on my laptop, excited to install this program into my computer.
"Now, let's see. I need to install this disk first.. then put in this disk next.. then that one... then this one..."
Thud.
The girl has already fallen asleep? I'm sure we've chosen what is probably the weirdest girl to ever live. I squat down on her desk, putting my elbows on my knees. I look at her for a moment. She has a thing for drooling. I poke her cheek and she mumbles.
"Ah~ Sans.."
What is with this girl? She's infatuated with a video game character! Although, granted, I'm a version of him myself-! Wait, is she crying now? Please don't tell me..
I sigh. Whatever. I need to wake her up. I continue to poke her cheek until she opens her eyes. I almost get lost in their beautiful color.
"Pizza man..?" she yawns. "I thought you left me for your fish woman..."
What is up with this girl? She looks up at me with her lazy eyes. Wow, I wish I can just take that color for myself..
Wait, I'm getting off track again.
"Oh, hello Sans," she yawns again. "What are you doing here?"
She's not even freaking out? That's kind of weird.
"You aren't afraid?" I ask, curious.
"Of course not.. It's only a dream, right..?" She continues to yawn as she speaks. It is in the middle of the night.
"Yeah, yeah. It's definitely a dream," I say sarcastically. She doesn't seem to catch on.
"I see.. Then Why don't I dream within a dream some more?" She lays her head back down. I poke her head softly again and she lifts it to face me, looking slightly annoyed.
"Look, buddy, I'm trying to..." she begins, trailing off at the end. And then, after a moment of silence, she finally catches on.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Yep," I say.
"Oh, god... Uh, um..! It's nice to meet you, Sans! I never new you were real- I mean of course you were, you were made by Toby himself! ... Right?"
"I am Ink Sans, but just call me Ink. I was made by a human somewhere on Earth, and I am in charge of people creating AUs," I explain, getting a little excited.
"So that's why you look so different!" The girl laughs.
"If you would like, I can take you into your own AU and see how things are going."
"That would be AWESOME!" she squealed. I'm starting to like this girl.
I get off the desk and take some paint off of my belt. I pour some onto the floor and use my brush to make a portal out of the paint.
"Wow," she gasps.
I hold out my hand towards her, which she doesn't hesitate to take, and we jump into the portal.
"Oh.. My god," I say as I open my eyes to the sight of my AU. MY AU! Piratetale! There are boats flying all around the sky. I look over the edge of the boat we're on and see more boats in the water too.
"I can't believe this! Is this even real?! Please say I'm not dreaming!"
Ink laughs at my rambling, "You're not dreaming, although it does seem like it, right?" He smiles. I look back at him with a smile of my own.
"So, since this is my AU.. I'm basically a god here, right?"
"Basically. You have to think hard about its design beforehand though." He stares up at the sky while leaning against the railing.
"Then," I start. Ink looks at me quizzically. "Then I can make myself change clothes whenever I come here, right?" Before he can even speak I close my eyes and focus hard on the outfit I want to change into. I throw my hands into the air and yell. Then I open my eyes and sigh, disappointed. I hear Ink laughing and look up. Seeing him trying to hold in his laugh makes me want to laugh too. So I did.
"It doesn't quite work like that," he said in between laughs. "How about I help you with that?" He takes his giant paintbrush and beings painting my clothes. It feels warm and sticky for a moment, but afterwards my clothes change into what I was imagining earlier. Exhilarated, I twirl around for a moment, giggling and showing off my new outfit. The next moment I take both of Ink's hands and stare into his eyes. His expression showed shock, and I notice that his pupils change each time he blinks. That's cool.
"Thank you so much, Ink! This is the best day of.." I pause, looking up. "Night? Whatever, this is the best day of my life!" I look back into his eyes. He hasn't said anything yet. I wonder what's wrong.
"Ink? What's wrong?" I ask after a moment.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I just.. I just got lost in your eyes. They're a very pretty color."
I can feel my face redden. "Yeah..? Um, thank you. I think?" I laugh off the awkwardness. This barely happens, ever. I gasp and take his hand again with mine and start dragging him around.
"How about we look around, huh?"
"Yeah. Good idea."
Almost my cue. I can't believe I thought of this stupid bet. I kick the side of the ship out of anger, making it tilt. I can hear a girl scream in response. Oh, crap, I hit the ship they're standing on. I charge up onto the deck to check on them. I see the girl hugging Ink for dear life, or so it seems. I flare up in anger. She's already clinging to him? How low does this guy even go?! Whatever, it's about time that I start doing my job. This AU is weak anyway. I look off to the side and see a ship next to theirs. Perfect. I'll begin with that. With a little effort, I use my blue strings to rip it apart, leaving nothing but splinters.
I stand up straight, my face red. All I can think about right now is that hug. I know I was the one who hugged him, but.. I just can't stop thinking about it! I hugged a Sans! I didn't really think it was possible because, you know, he's a skeleton!
As I think, a shadow covers the area. Curious, I look up. It was another ship, but blue strings held this one up in the air. The strings began crushing it and pieces of wood came crashing down towards us. Ink made me move out of the way so I wasn't crushed beneath a plank. I looked around and already people were either dying from being crushed or being torn apart by the strings. I put my hands to my mouth. Something here was destroying my AU. I didn't cry, I couldn't, but the tears found its way to spill out. I silently cried as I looked at my precious AU being torn to pieces.
"(Name)! Move out of the way!" I felt a tug of my arm and I snapped out of my daze. I looked over my shoulder and see Ink. "You need to snap out of it so we can get you somewhere safe."
"Ink.." I mumbled. The deck of the ship suddenly buckled and split as a heavy object landed on it. The wood between me and Ink broke apart and we were dragged in opposite directions. Ink's grip on my clothing slips and I fall down into the depths of the ship, screaming Ink's name.
