"what kind of skeleton rings the doorbell multiple times?" Sans asked his brother on a television. Papyrus watched the home videos his father had given the 2 boys and the few that he'd taken after he left Sans. The memory was still fresh in his head despite being 13 years ago.
"those humans! th-they killed them!" Sans cried out.
"BROTHER-" Papyrus tried to sooth.
"b-but now, w-we have a SOUL."
"YOU KNOW BROTHER, YOU COULD GO THROUGH THE BARRIER-"
"no papyrus."
"WH-WHAT?"
"papyrus, when you're king you have to look out for your kingdom." It was true, recently, their father, Gaster, had died and the heir to the throne was Sans.
"YES BUT DOING THAT-"
"pa-"
"STOP INTERRUPTING ME!" Papyrus was easily worked up in this state. He was emotional, and his brother hadn't been listening to him.
"papyrus, you don't understand. we're going to wait."
"WITH THAT SOUL YOU COULD GO OUT AND GET THE OTHER 6!"
"if i do that-"
"EVERYONE WILL BE FREE!"
"papyrus, you aren't listening to me!"
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KEEPS PUSHING ME DOWN! YOU KNOW WHAT!? I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"
"pa-" Sans was cut off by a glare from his brother.
With that Papyrus left the part of the Underground that was under Sans's jurisdiction.
Papyrus began writing down the pun. "a dead ringer!" The young skeleton prince told his screen brother.
"SANS!" The younger prince screeched as the Kings chuckles were heard.
Papyrus circled the pun. "I'M SORRY SANS." Papyrus looked to the time. "OH! TIME TO GO SEE IF A HUMAN HAS COME!"
I will be creating different One-Shots based off of Storyshift. It's my second favorite AU behind Flowerfell/Overgrowth: Resurrection.
