Sans looks down, hand on a knee as his other has dropped to the floor. Great, now he's dying. That sure didn't take long to do, as always, but Sans hadn't even seen the human….no, the thing….reset..he hadn't even felt it. Which meant the human was gaining too much power over resets, and at this point Sans sighed. His jacket was all sticky with ketchup and slashed from the knife mark, his face marked by sweat and that smile plastered on his face at all times.

"Well, kid...guess ya got me. Just...don't say I didn't warn ya about that bad time."

He walks off, going to the super-secret control panel the human couldn't see, as Sans no longer had power over the reset, so he had access to this instead. He clicked the button to instantly level the human up, giving it enough power for Chara to fully manipulate it, and letting the human have its own fun fate, while he pressed the other main button he always pressed upon dying.

'Consciousness Reset'

Time to head to another timeline...time to see Papyrus again...to hear the lady at the door to the Ruins...to see Snowdin...happy again.

….

Chapter 1: Sans. POV FP, Sans.

Well. Looks like I'm *yawn* back here again, in this freezing cold house of mine. Lovely that it is, doesn't really matter, 'cause I don't have skin. I suppose magic is, and it's a little cozier to use when it's cold. Anyway, it's Christmas morning, so I better be getting ready to not fall asleep. Papyrus is really serious about Christmas and Santa. This year I bought him Mario Kart Wii, for his Wii that 'Santa" got him. I thought he'd love to race around as goofy characters. He got me condiments. judging how the presents with my name on them are wrapped. He also got a new spear for Undyne, a book about dogs for the lady across the doorway, an anime thing for Alphys, and he's even sending a big teddy bear to Asgore. His generosity is almost never-ending. He's giving the Shopkeeper a Christmas present by working there for her today around noon, so she can have her own Christmas with her sister. Real nice of him. So kind, forgiving...vulnerable...no, no, just focus on the present. Especially the one I'll drink later *laugh* ehhh...anyway, I got everyone the same thing: a joke book. Everyone got a different type, except for Papyrus, I got him a book on skeleton history. It's a lot like Fluffy Bunny, except I wrote it. It isn't long, it just tells the history of how we were made. One day, our Dad made an experiment on two of the dead humans. One lost all memory, while one lost powers and retained memory. Oh. They became skeletons held up by magic, too.

Of course, Dad was lost awhile later thanks to the Core, and we moved to Snowdin. The end. Great story, right? He'll probably cry at the end, and he'll hug me, and I'll hug him back. I know how this all goes, but...why? I should be at my sentry post, seeing the human right now. This is the timeline about 5 times ago. Why this one in particular? Probably some kind of timeline glitch it...let me check.

"Sparky! Sparky, here girl!" I whisper out loud enough so she can hear but quiet enough that Papyrus doesn't hear. I hear the familiar dog-like panting that always accompanies Sparky being awake, and she floats on over, looking adorable as ever. Well, as adorable as a Gaster Blaster can be. She's the regular one, Vulcan is the big one, and Helio is the tiny one. Sparky has all my timeline info stored, Vulcan keeps track of how many times I've ended the human, and Helio is just there to add some extra fun :P who needs computers? I've got loving pets that can save my info, how cool is that?

"Sparky, what timeline am I in right now? Her eyes flash cyan and gold before she whines a bit and licks my face. That's when I notice two things. For one, I'm in a completely new timeline. Two...did I seriously just frown? I go to my closet and look at my face. Nope, same smile. Still as handsome as ever *wink* I'm about to go lay back down when I at least try to move my mouth. To my utter shock, it does. The edges of my mouth are moving. That hasn't happened since I was alive. This timeline is weird, for sure. I whisper to the mirror my secret passcode. My mouth doesn't move. So I guess at least that's normal, but the edges of my mouth can move. I guess that gives me more facial expressions, huh? Well, it hurt, so I'll stick to grinning like a murderer. Well, like a maniac, the Chara Smile is unique in and of itself. Eh, but I have better things to do. Like give some love to Sparky :3 I head over to the bed and sit down, crossing my legs and patting the spot next to me. Sparky turns her gravity off and leaps at my lap, nestling in and making a purring-like sound, eyes closed in content as I rub her head. She's so calm when not firing lasers to protect me.

Almost 3:00 AM. Papyrus will be up soon, and I have to make sure I'm up on time. I head downstairs, Sparky following with her gravity off, before settling into my lap again, floating very slightly. In the dark, silent night, I see the outline of the tree...the presents...the TV, the sock I keep leaving there, my pet rock, and the book on quantum physics and timeline logs I keep around. If you look far enough in there, you'll find my timelog book, which I use to record every timeline and its differences. I write down my differences, before laying back against the couch and waiting, stroking Sparky's….uh….well, Sparky kinda is nothing BUT a head...but I guess the top of her, then, repeating this action in the tranquility of the night. Sure enough, I hear the crashing of bone to floor, of bone to door, and skull to stairway as my brother stumbles down the stairway, exclaiming in either pain or laughter. He uprights himself upon reaching the bottom and shouts in his loudest of voices, his excited voice,

"CHRISTMAAASSSSSSSSS!"

He smiles wide, hsi grin open and eager, his default expression basically. Vulcan follows after him, not panting or making any noise at all. Vulcan is actually a female, but I first thought she was a guy and gave 'him' a cool name. She responds to nothing else now, and she likes Papyrus a lot. She always comes to my aid in a fight when I use GB attacks, but she follows Papyrus like a really big puppy, kinda like Sparky does to me. Helio hangs around us both, like an extremely cute tiny hat mostly.

"Brother! Brother! DID YOU SEE HIM?! I did! I vigilantly waited all night, and he visited me in my DREAM! He made an awful pun, and I immediately went to a different dream. No wonder he only comes once a year…"

"That's cool bro. Did you, by any chance, notice anything about me?"

"No, not really. Did you get a haircut?! COOL! You don't even have hair, so that makes it a-"

"No, no. I.." He already knows this timeline me could use my own mouth differently, I forgot. But I can still keep it going. "..grew a beard last night."
"WHAAAAAT?! I don't see one!"
"You can't because you don't have one."

"OH NO! If I want to be as cool as you...I have to grow a beard! But how is the question…"

"Easy. Make bad jokes and puns."

"NOOOOO! I just figured out why Santa has such a big beard! This is the worst day ever!"

"It'll get better, it's Christmas."

Don't worry bro. I promise it'll get better. After all. The human isn't here yet. I can sense it though. It won't be a human, so I guess I'll have to make it official that it will be DEAD WHERE IT STANDS.

(Ooooh, spoopy. Sorry I couldn't do the 'dead where it stands' part in typical Sans style, Fanfic is special sometimes. Anyway. Enjoy. Byes.)
