"Bad Time?" Steven quivered.

"Heh, only joking." Sans stated. Steven and Amethyst heaved a sigh of relief.

"Anyways, you're a human, right?" Sans asked.

"Uh, sorta." Steven muttered.

"That's hilarious." the skeleton giggled, in a deep voice.

"So, what are you doing all by yourself in the forest?" Steven asked.

"I'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now." he said, "But...y'know...I don't really care about capturing anybody. Unlike my brother, Papyrus, he's a human-hunting FANATIC!"

"Well he definitely won't be capturing me then." said Amethyst.

"Hey, actually I think that's him over there. I have an idea, go through this gate thingy, yeah, go right through. My brother made the bars too wide to stop anyone." said Sans gesturing towards the gate.

"Quick behind that conveniently shaped lamp." he said, pointing to a lamp, conveniently shaped like Steven. Steven ran and hid behind the lamp.

"Where do I hide?" Amethyst shouted.

"Just shape shift into an ant or something" said Steven. Amethyst shifted into a Heaven Beetle and crawled onto Steven's shoulder. Then a very slender skeleton walked over. Papyrus was the name Sans called him by.

"Sup, bro?" said Sans, casually.

"You know what 'SUP' brother!" shouted Papyrus, "It's been eight days and you still haven't...RECALIBRATED. YOUR. PUZZLES! You just hang around outside your station. What are you even doing?" Papyrus asked.

"Staring at this lamp, it's really cool, do you wanna look?" Sans answered.

"NO! I don't have time for that! WHAT IF A HUMAN COMES THROUGH HERE!?" Paprus screamed, stomping his feet, "I want to be ready! I will be the one, I must be the one! I will capture a human! Then, I, The Great Papyrus, will get all the things I utterly deserve! RESPECT! RECOGNITION! I will finally be able to join the royal guard! People will ask to be my friend! I will bathe in a shower of kisses every morning!"

"Hmm, maybe this lamp will help you." Sans stated, "And go a little easy on those exclamation marks."

"Sans you are NOT helping. You lazybones! All you do is sit and boondoggle! You get lazier and lazier every day!" exclaimed Papyrus.

"Hey, take it easy, I've gotten a ton of work done today. A skele-ton." joked Sans. BA-DUM-CHISHHH

"SANS!" yelled Papyrus.

"Come on, your smiling." laughed Sans.

"I am and I hate it...SIIIIIIGHH. Why does someone as great as me, have to do so much just to get some recognition." said Papyrus, sadly.

"Wow sounds like you're really working yourself, down to the bone." laughed Sans. BA-DUM-CHISHHH

Steven tried his best to contain his laughter.

"UGH, I will attend to my puzzles, as for your work, put a little more backbone into it! NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH...HEH!" giggled Papyrus.

BA-DUM-CHISHHH

Papyrus left and Steven could finally let his laughter out.

"You two oughta get going. He might come back, and if he does you'll have to sit through another one of my hilarious jokes." said Sans.

"Thanks for everything!" replied Steven. Steven and Amethyst started to leave but when they were about to exit,

"Wait, if you could go and say hi to my brother, it would mean the world to him. All he wants to do is join the royal guard. And don't worry, hes harmless." Sans told them.

"I don't know man, we gotta find Garnet and Pearl." Amethyst replied.

"Heh, don't know what I expected. Well see ya around." Sans told them. They turned and Steven looked back once, he didn't see Sans there.
