1. Prologue

This is a story of skeleton love. A story about endangered species working together to save their species. This is not a typical love story, it is a story of determination, friendship, and love. And if you go to the Underground, you'll see why the skeletons are endangered there.

Falling in love is a universal thing. For centuries, love was meant to bring people together. This, in some cases led to marriage or even starting a family of their very own. It's no happily ever after, like in fairy tales and romance movies, however. Many relationships eventually end up in the not so happily ever after. In other words, they break up.

People break up for many reasons. Some don't like each other anymore, others just got further and further apart. But, every relationship has one in common; two people who love or loved each other very much.

Skeleton love is different from human love. Unlike humans, skeletons can't understand human gestures or attempt to do them, such as the ability to give blood to a blood bank. Skeletons can fall in love with each other, but not in the same way as us humans can. Sans and Papyrus, naturally born as skeletons, are no exception to the rule.

For Sans and Papyrus, love is also very difficult to find. This is because skeletons became endangered species by the Underground Census Bureau, which does the math for residents or visitors of the Underground. In addition to residents, they also include the number of skeletons living or visiting the Underground.

Since then, WUGD news anchors and environmentalists have been asking themselves a question: When will skeletons no longer be endangered?

"Not anytime soon." scientists and researchers of the University of Undertale said in a scientific paper that was recently published in the Skeleton Journal, the Underground's official newspaper. Researchers for years thought that there were no skeletons, but found two female skeletons; Amanda and Mary, a pair of sister skeletons in the Underground Forest, almost 2 years ago.

Since they were found, researchers have been searching all over the Underground to find skeletons who will be willing to fall in love and save their species…… before it's too late.
