Welcome to my new story, a collection of Undertale oneshots that tell a bigger story. This takes place after the true Pacifist ending. If you haven't played/watched Undertale yet, don't read this. This story will contain numerous spoilers for numerous endings.

Insomnia

Part 1 (Toriel's Nightmare)

There was a low beep and Sans pulled his phone out of his jacket pocket. There was a new text message from Tori. Sans replied as he continued to absentmindedly watch whatever channel happened to be on when he sat down.

Hello Sans

hey tori what's up?

I wanted to ask you a favor.

you know i'll say yes. i don't have the heart to say no to you

Hee hee hee thanks Sans. I needed that. It's been a stressful few days and I'm really concerned about Frisk.

Whatsamatter with the kid?

They had a really bad nightmare a few nights ago. It took a long time to calm them down, but they won't tell me what it was about. All they will say was it was about a monster, but they won't tell me which one. Frisk is refusing to sleep and every time they do fall asleep they wake up terrified! Frisk is sleeping with me now but I don't think that's helping. Frisk even refused to go to the sleepover Alphys and Undyne planned.

i thought it was strange we hadn't seen you two in a few days. i'm guessing that's why the two of you couldn't make movie night

Yes, I'm sorry, but Frisk has been refusing to see anyone. They said they'll still go to school, but I don't think that's a good idea with what little sleep they're getting.

not that i don't want to help tori but if you want someone to cheer up the kid i think you've got the wrong bag of bones. my bro is the best at cheering people up. i'm sure he could help more than i could

I know Papyrus and Frisk are close, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Frisk really doesn't want to see any of their friends and I'm worried it might have something to do with the content of their nightmares. You, Alphys and Asgore are the only ones that didn't fight Frisk. I know Papyrus only wanted to capture them, but I'm worried that those fights might be haunting Frisk's dreams. They're only a child, Sans, and I'm sure they were scared. We all know Frisk is very tough and very forgiving but that doesn't mean those memories fade.

you think Frisk's nightmares are about the fights they had in the underground?

I don't know for sure, but I can't think of anything else they could be dreaming about that would give them nightmares like that.

and i didn't fight the kid so they might be willing to talk to me

Yes. I know Frisk didn't fight Asgore, thank god, but he still wanted to take their soul. That's enough to scare anyone. And Alphy isn't really good with this kind of thing. Please talk to them Sans, I'm really worried. It scares me that they can't talk to me about it.

When we first met I tried to scare them into not leaving the ruins. What if they're having nightmares about me too? I couldn't stand it if my child is afraid of me, Sans.

frisk knows you love them tori. they're not afraid of you i'm sure if it. but if it will make you feel better i'll talk to them

Thank you so much, Sans. I really don't know what else to do.

don't sweat it tori. frisk will be fine. there's nothing that can keep that kid down for long

I know oneshots don't usually come in parts (hence the name oneshots) but I am very bad writing short things. So this one shot 'Insomnia' will come in four parts, and many more oneshots will be out after that. My goal is to tell an overarching story in a series of oneshots. Some will be very short and some will be long.

Every oneshot in this story is connected, and should be read in order, but that said, most of them can also be easily enjoyed out of order.

Thanks for reading! More will be out very soon! Please review if you liked it and if you want constant updates on my story you can go to my tumblr maydaygirl-save-our-ships
