Chapter 1: A Human Named Ray

It's a beautiful day in Ebott

Birds are singing

Flowers are blooming

On days like this…

I wonder how the hell I even got here?

The skeleton groaned as he found himself staring into the ceiling, from the hardness of his bedroom floor. Getting back on his feet, Sans the skeleton cracked an imaginary kink in his neck and made his way to his bathroom, not before slipping on his red fuzzy slippers though; the skeleton looked into the mirror and saw himself, a short skeleton with sharp, shark like teeth with a single gold fang. San rubbed along one of the bags under his empty eye sockets, focusing his magic to create a glowing red left eye. Sans sighed. "god i look a fuckin mess…" He grabbed his toothbrush and dabbed it in paste. "welp… might as well start the day…"

"SANS! GET YOUR LAZYBONES OUTTA BED ALREADY!" Papyrus shouted from the kitchen as he cooked in his usual "Don't Kiss The Chef" Apron. Though his focus at cooking was more distracted by the fact that his brother was still not up. "SANS! IT'S ONE IN THE AFTERNOON! WAKE UP!"

"alright i'm here! quit yellin in my ear!" Sans growled, the skeleton had come in his usual outfit. A red dog collar around his neck and a sweater of the same color, a pair of black pants with yellow stripes going down the sides and a pair of red and white sneakers. "It's monday in the freakin afternoon boss, will you please keep it down?"

"WELL MAYBE YOU FORGOT SANS, BUT IT'S YOUR TURN TO GET THE HUMAN FROM SCHOOL TODAY!" Papyrus told. "AND YOU WERE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO REMIND YOU, FREAKING OAF!"

"ugh, can i at least get my damn coffee first?" He argued at his brother.

"IF YOU WANTED TO HAVE COFFEE… THEN YOU SHOULD'VE WOKE UP EARLIER IN THE FIRST PLACE!" The taller yet younger skelebro exclaimed, the oldest merely groaned as he left to grab his black winter coat from the living room couch. "AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING!"

"out for coffee! what do ya think, dingus!?" Sans sighed as he opened the door and made his way out. "i'll be back with the kid later…" He finished as he slammed the door shut.

For those who may have noticed, this is not the Undertale you know. This. Is Underfell. Made from the many resets of an unknown figure, it is a world much like the original, yet very different. For in this universe, the monsters rule was to literally "Kill or be killed". All until a young child fell into their world, and saved it with their endless kindness.

Their name was Frisk, together with their flowery companion, Flowey, the two had changed the outlook of the monsters of the underground, and with the combined powers of the SOUL's of previous humans they managed to break the barrier of Mt. Ebott, freeing all the monsters from the underground.

Asgore, King of Monsters, having had a change of heart from the hero's kindness had appointed Frisk to be the ambassador between humans and monsters. Child they may have been, but Frisk was doing their best to bring peace between them both; even if they seemed amicable however, the two races still held some conflicts with each other.

But Frisk didn't give up hope, they never will. It was admirable… but Sans just didn't see the point.

"ugh… bitter as all hell…" He sighed as he sat on the cold park bench, the town surface town of Ebott was chilly in the winter, and though his starbucks coffee helped, he wish it tasted a little bit better. "pretty sure I got another hour before the kid gets outta school. guess I'll just chill here."

"Um… hello there!" A voice called out from behind Sans' head, ignoring it he closed his eyes in relaxation. But the voice still called out. "Hello? Hey dude! Oh wait… Hey, skeleton dude!"

Irritated at being disturbed, Sans finally opened his eyes and looked from above his seat to see a pair of golden eyes staring down at him. They belonged to a human much taller than him, with strange long hair, white as snow and long enough to fall down his shoulders. The human looked back at him with a smile, it was annoying to look at. "hey buddy? you know that personal space is a thing right?" The skeleton questioned with the human being so close to him.

"Oh I know that! I mean, I like to think I'm pretty spacious to be around personally." The human, a male from the sound of his voice answered.

"did… did you just make a stupid joke?" Sans questioned. "uh wow, who even are you?"

"Isn't it rude to ask who I am without introducing yourself? Why don't you tell me who you are?" The human male moved around and down on the bench, but the moment he did the skeleton got up and began to walk off. "Hey! You can't just leave like that! Not after I asked you a question!"

"screw off, i don't gotta answer that." Sans retorted.

"Will you get your bony ass back on this bench and talk!?" He exclaimed loud enough to get the attention of onlookers. "Come on, don't give me your Bone Shoulder!"

Another bad pun, if it was something he made himself Sans woulda laughed. But the fact the human did it felt like an insult for some reason. Normally he would just "shortcut" out of there and call it done, but the fact that people were watching now made Sans feel he had no other choice. So he walked back over and sat beside the human. "...sans. sans the skeleton, happy now, kid?"

"Ray, I'm Ray Verdana. And though I don't see a kid anywhere, I happen to be very happy." Ray joked as he pushed some of his bangs from his eyes, grinning from cheek to cheek at the skeleton's irritation. "It's nice to meet you, Sans. Come here often to drink bad coffee?"

"no I don't it's ju-wait, why am I even answering you!?" Sans questioned. "look kid, can you just tell me what you want?"

"I don't really want anything, but I did come for a reason." Ray assured. "I could tell you about it, but you have to promise me something."

"oh you gotta be fuckin… fine!"

"Really? You promise not to laugh?"

"will you just tell me already!?" The skeleton was getting pissed now.

"Well…" The white haired boy snickered and grinned. "I just thought you looked pretty Bonely and needed some company."

Once again the human caught him with a pun, and a pretty good one in the skeleton's opinion. His lipless mouth formed a toothy grin as he tried to stiffle a laugh. "Hey! You promised you wouldn't laugh!" Ray told.

"what the hell did you think I'd do with a pun like that? of course I'd laugh!" Sans replied holding his laughter no longer. "i won't lie, it was a pretty funny pun. even though it was pretty bone dry."

"That means alot coming from you!" Ray retorted with a smile.

"heh, well thanks for the laugh. gotta say, you sure do know your puns." He complimented him, something he doesn't do much for people. "alright i'll bite, so what're you doing here?"

"Who me? I was just doing some errands, I thought I'd take a break and then I saw you." Ray stood up and began to walk around the bench. "Perhaps it was fate, a thing of destiny that brought us together. So we may meet and create great puns of beauty!" To the skeleton's surprise, the human jumped into the air and balanced atop the back of the bench with ease. "Or maybe I'm just being silly to be silly. How about you? What're you doing here?"

"i needed a cup of coffee to wake me up, this starbucks stuff is crap but it works." Sans told sipping the last of his cup. "i gotta go pick someone up in a little bit."

"And here I thought we could talk some more. Oh well, I guess I should get back to my errands." Ray jumped off the bench and in front of the skeleton. "It was nice meeting you, Sans. I hope I can see you again real soon."

"what, ya feeling bonely too?" Sans returned the pun from earlier, but as the human turned around he noticed the distinct look in his eyes. The odd cheerfulness had disappeared and a look of melancholy took its place. At the same time he noticed something else that was strange as he saw bandages wrapped around the human's neck. A smile quickly replaced it however as Ray waved goodbye and made his way across the street. "the hell was that about? weird kid…" The skeleton got to his feet and began to leave as well, but there was something about that human he just couldn't get his mind off of.

The bell resounded on Ebott Elementary School, students were making their way out of the school, heading to the school bus to take them home, while others stood at the entrance waiting for their parents. Frisk was the latter, with Flowey in hand they walked toward the school's entrance to await for their ride home.

"What's taking those skeletons so long?" Flowey questioned. "They know how mad Toriel will be if they ended up forgetting about us."

Frisk shrugged as they started to look around, he soon smiled as he noticed the pun loving skeleton making his way across the street. Sans' permanent grin was that much more genuine as he saw them wave at him. "Yo kid, you waited long?" He asked Frisk as he stood in front of them.

"Ugh, why'd it have to be the smiley trashbag?" Flowey groaned.

"Watch it ya weed, or I'll turn ya into fertilizer." Sans growled then focused back on Frisk. "Okay kid, ya ready to walk home?"

Frisk nodded and followed his friend out of the school area, though driving in Papyrus' car was nice he always enjoyed just walking through the town; the skeleton may have acted cold and grumpy to others, but he always had a soft spot for Frisk. "So kid, school go okay today? Nobody given ya trouble I hope?"

"School went well, I had a lot of fun at gym today." Frisk spoke using sign language, using a free hand to wave the signs needed to talk. "Everyone was surprised at how good I was at dodgeball. My team always won thanks to my dodging."

"You've dodged a lot more deadlier attacks, so I'm not surprised." Sans chuckled. "Boss is making his trademark spaghetti, we could head straight home… or we can go to Grillbys. And actually have some good food."

"Papyrus' spaghetti isn't that bad… it has gotten better at least." Frisk signed.

"Yeah… from unedible to just bad tasting." Flowey added.

"Well we're at the park now, make the choice of where ya wanna go." The Skeleton waited for Frisk's response, but his eye soon caught sight of three men making their way toward them. And he didn't like the looks on their faces. "Hey, you got a problem or something?"

"And what if we said we did, monster?" One of the men spoke. "Where you think ya going with that human kid? Tryin ta kidnap him."

"The hell are ya talkin about? I just picked him up from school." Sans argued.

"So you did steal him!" The second man retorted.

"I'm his fuckin guardian ya idiot!" Sans growled. "You better back off now or you'll regret it."

"Typical lying monster tryin to get violent." The third man reached out to Frisk. "Hey kid, why don't you come with us?"

Frisk stepped behind the skeleton in fear, Sans' eye glowed a brighter red as he was ready to end the humans in front of him. But his actions were stopped as he heard the sound of someone yelling heading closer toward them. "Headhunter Kick!" Another human charged in and kicked the first man from behind, as he fell to the ground the sudden white haired human turned to the second man. "Headhunter Dropkick!" He jumped and swiftly kicked at the man's chest. "Headhunter Sweep kick!" Landing back on the ground, he spun towards the third man and kicked at his feet hard enough to trip him onto his back.

"What the!?" Sans looked in surprise as the human before him stood up and turned to him. His surprise grew even more as he realized who this new human was, it was none other than Ray. "Kid? It's you?"

"Don't tell me you've forgot my name already? And I'll have you know I'm twenty one years old." Ray grinned, looking back as the three men had recovered and ran off in fear. "Yeah you better run! Next time I won't be easy on you!"

"You call that takin it easy?" Sans couldn't help laughing now that the danger was gone. "Like damn, dude. You kicked their asses like a boss!"

"Hehe, well I did do karate for ten years. And I could've done a lot worse to them too, if I wanted to I could've scarred them for life with my Headhunter Axe Kick of Nut Cracking!" Ray grinned. "But I figured I wouldn't be too hard on those idiots."

"A friend of yours, trashbag?" Flowey asked.

"I wouldn't say a friend, just met this guy earlier." He answered bluntly.

"Aww, and I thought we had a nice moment of puns together." Ray sighed, he smiled as he crouched down to meet Firsk's height. "You must be Frisk, I've seen you on TV a few times. I think you're a pretty cool kid, being an ambassador at such a young age. Oh right, my name is Ray."

"Nice to meet you, Ray." Frisk signed. "Thank you for helping us."

"No problem, just a little human dispute to take care of." He replied bashfully before looking back at his watch. "Uh oh, I gotta get back to my errands or my sister will kill me. It was nice to see ya again, Sans. Told ya we'd meet again soon."

"what, are ya stalkin me or something?" Sans teased.

"Nah, but I am interested in getting to know you. You were right about me after all." Ray told as he walked back in the direction he came from.

"wait, right about what?" He called out.

"Don't you remember what you said?" Ray looked back to the skeleton with the same melancholic look on his face. "I'm pretty Bonely too… just feels a little easier when you have someone take it all away." He smiled softly and gave his goodbye. "I'll see ya next time. Nice meeting ya, Frisk!"

For the second time, Sans was left confused yet intrigued by the white haired human. There was something strange about Ray, yet for some reason… that strangeness is what made Sans so interested in him.

Well here's the first chapter, I've had this story in my head for a while and I wanted to get it in writing. Hope everyone will look forward to more.
