My skelly friend from the past
Summary: This is an idea that's haunted me for a while so why not write it? When Alisa was little, she had a friend, though he certainly wasn't normal. Her friend had been a skeleton from Mt. Ebott. She hung out with him for years until one day, he stopped coming. Now, almost seven years after his disappearance, the monsters have come up to the surface and her childhood friend reappears. How will she react? SansxOc.
A small girl, around the age of five, giggled as she ran through the forest around Mt. Ebott. She lived nearby and the forest was always her favorite place to play. She didn't have many friends or any siblings, so she often played here alone.
The girl fell back onto a pile of flowers and giggled as she looked up at the sky. "Hey kid. What are you doing here?" A voice said from nearby and she looked in the direction of the voice to see a short skeleton wearing a blue winter jacket that was opened showing a white tee shirt, black basketball shorts, and house slippers.
"I'm playing! My house is at the bottom and I come up to play all the time!" She exclaimed as she sat up to look at the skeleton curiously.
"Don't you know it's dangerous? You could fall into the mountain." He told her. He had used one of his shortcuts to get here only to find a human child.
She shook her head. "It's fine! I know where the hole is and stay away from the cave! Are you a monster?" She asked him curiously. She didn't know that monsters could leave.
He nodded. "Yeah, I'm Sans, Sans the skeleton but you can call me Sans. What's your name kid?" He answered and held out his hand. She smiled brightly and stood up to shake it.
"I'm Alisa! Wow, I never knew that monsters could leave underground." She told him as she took his hand. A loud farting noise sounded and Sans' grin widen as she looked at their joined hands curiously to see a whoopee cushion.
"Joke never gets old." He commented before laughing. Alisa looked at him wide eye before laughing as well.
"That's really smart! You're funny Sans! I have to go now though; Momma and Daddy are probably waiting for me. Will you be here tomorrow?" She asked and he thought for a minute before nodding. He knew how to get to the surface now so it should be easier than this time. Also, he wanted to know more about this strange human child.
"I'll try kiddo. Don't think I am ribbing you on if I don't show though. It was really hard to get here." He told her and she nodded before skipping off down the mountain. Sans grinned at her before teleporting back underground.
_six years later_
Sans did come back the next day, and the next, and the next. He came to visit almost every day for six years now. The two would usually sit and talked in the same spot that they met in. Sometimes Alisa would bring stuff from her house to share with the skeleton, like snacks and random toys. Sans would sometimes bring stuff with him, like Grillby's burgers or nice cream. They would learn about each other and talk about their worlds.
Alisa loved the time she spent with the short skeleton. She had learned that they weren't that far apart in age, Sans was actually two years older than her. She had also learned that he had a little brother named Papyrus, who was actually taller than him. Most monsters were since monsters were usually taller than humans.
Sans also loved hanging out with the girl. He learned that her parents were actually in charge of taking care of the mountain, which had been turned into a park over the years. Sans also learned about how Alisa didn't have any friends other than him and was an only child, making her extremely lonely. The only other people she was close to was her parents and her little two year old cousin that she often watched.
It was one of the days that Alisa had camped out. She did this often and knew the land enough that her parents didn't worry about her being on the mountain alone. Sans had stayed with her, telling his brother that he was staying with a friend. He hadn't lied, he was, just Papyrus didn't know which friend.
"Sans?" She called as they lay on the ground, looking at the stars above. He turned slightly to look at her.
"Yeah kid?" He asked. Even though they were almost the same age, he still called her kid. She didn't mind it and sometimes wondered if he even remembered her real name.
"You said it was getting really hard to come up here since the barrier is still up. Does that mean that one day you won't be here anymore?" She asked, not looking at him.
"Probably but that won't be for some time." He answered her. Alisa nodded and turned towards him.
"If it does get too hard to teleport here and back. Then I want you to promise that when the barrier one day breaks, you'll come find me okay?" She said and he winced slightly. He knew the day when he wouldn't be able to teleport back and forth was coming soon, he didn't know when exactly.
Sans sighed, he didn't like promises. "You know I don't like promises and we don't even know if the barrier will be broken anytime soon. Though, just for you kid, I promise I will come back and find you." He answered and Alisa grinned happily at him.
She rolled over closer and hugged him tight. "Thank you Sans. You're the best friend I could ask for." She told him before letting go. Sans blushed and nodded before looking away in embarrassment. Alisa laughed before standing up and going over to her tent and taking out hotdogs, marshmallows, and a bottle of ketchup.
"Now, since we're camping, we should probably roast some food over the campfire already." She said and he grinned at her and nodded before standing up as well to help with the food.
_two years later_
Two years later, Alisa looked around at their usual meeting spot, looking for Sans. "Hmm, maybe he's late." She said to herself as she sat at their spot. She dug through her bag and pulled out a book as she waited. Time ticked by and Alisa got more and more worried as the sun started to set.
"Maybe he was busy today and couldn't come. Yeah that's it." She told herself as she packed up and started to leave. Alisa couldn't shake the feeling however that something had happened.
She just hoped that it wasn't what she had fearing of happening since they met, that he wouldn't be able to trick the barrier anymore and couldn't come back.
_seven year's later _
A twenty year old Alisa yawned as she looked outside. It was still dark but she had to go to check. Her little cousin, Frisk, had disappeared on the mountain last week and she had been checking the barrier every day while looking around the mountain. She had felt so bad. Frisk's parents had died in a car crash last year and Alisa had gained custody since she was the only one that the 11-year-old trusted and would talk to. They literally could not get the child to go to anyone else without throwing a fit and getting depressed. Alisa had been the only one that could get her to do anything after the incident. Alisa had let her go to the mountain alone since the child went often and loved it as much as she did went she was little. Frisk knew the mountain well and knew how to survive on it. Though, Alisa had never showed her the hole to go under the mountain. She didn't want to think of the possibility of Frisk falling in.
Walking up the path to the barrier, Alisa felt like something different would happen today. The sun was now starting to rise and Alisa could see figures at the top of the slope.
"Frisk?!" She called. Maybe they had seen her little cousin. The figures looked in her direction and the smallest of the group came to the edge of the slope.
"Ali?!" Alisa heard and her heart almost stopped as she recognized the voice and the nickname. Seeing Frisk, Alisa rushed up the hill to hug her.
"Frisk! Oh my gosh kid I was worried sick! You don't know how bad I felt for letting you go up the mountain by yourself! Where were you?!" She asked frantically as she hugged the girl, tears in her eyes. She hadn't even noticed her cousin's companions yet.
"Sorry Ali! I didn't mean to make you worry so much!" Frisk cried. Alisa felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up to see a large goat woman standing in front of them. She looked at her curiously.
"Excuse me miss. I am Toriel. May I ask who you are?" She asked and Alisa nodded as she picked up Frisk and put her on her hip easily. The 11-year-old was smaller than most kids her age, weighed less too.
"Sure! I'm Alisa; Frisk here is my little cousin." She told Toriel and smiled, earning a smile back.
"It is nice to meet you Alisa. Do you have somewhere we can talk at maybe?" Toriel asked and Alisa nodded.
"Sure, my house is a bit further down the mountain. We can talk there. Frisk, you have some explaining to do. Follow me Miss Toriel." She told them and adjusted Frisk so she was giving the girl a piggy back ride before heading further down the mountain.
Sans listened in and his eye sockets widen slightly as he heard her name. He hadn't heard that name in years. He had to move to get a look at her. Once he saw her face, he grinned. It WAS the same Alisa. He almost couldn't believe his luck. He had noticed that the kid looked similar to someone but he couldn't exactly remember who. Now that he saw them by each other, Sans knew who exactly Frisk looked like.
Sans smirked slightly as he followed behind everyone. He couldn't let her know yet that he was here. No one knew of his adventures to the surface when he was younger and they didn't need to know. Once they were alone he would tell her and hopefully, she forgave him.
Pika: That's it for the first chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed! It's something that's been bugging my mind since I first saw Sans and heard of his abilities. This is something he could have done and it just wasn't ever heard of. What did you guys think? Chow for no my lovely Pika Pals! Stay Shocking! Pika!
