Welp...what better way to fight boredom then to write fanfiction? I will mention this: Sans and Papyrus are both 8 in this. One other thing I will mention:
*Sans will only speak in italics
*Papyrus will only speak in bold.
*And Gaster will only speak with underlines
So with that out of the way, let's get started.
It was a nice day in New Home. Monsters were going about their business, walking along the grey pavement below them.
A pair of small siblings were walking behind an alley, both of which happened to be skeletons. They were roughly the same height as each other, as well as the same age. The younger skeleton wore a yellow shirt with orange stripes and a red scarf wrapped around his neck. This skeleton wore red gloves and held onto a stuffed rabbit. The older skeleton, wore a long blue sweater with white stripes. His sleeves were often dragging across the ground and the end of the sweater hung over his knees. This skeleton also had two cracks on his face, both of which were covered by bandages.
The two skeletons stopped walking. The younger one, Papyrus, looked around anxiously. "Nobody's here, right?"
"nope," said the older skeleton, simply named Sans. "nobody's here besides us."
"Great," Papyrus said, placing his stuffed bunny against the wall. "Now Fluffy Bunny gets to see us in action!"
"only if your magic awakens," Sans interrupted. Papyrus rolled his eye sockets. "I know, I know..."
"great, then you know exactly what to do!" Sans said as his soul began to glow. Papyrus' soul began to glow as well, indicating that he was pulled into a battle. Papyrus decided to check on his brother.
*1 HP, 1 ATK, 1 DF.
"A-are you sure about this?" Papyrus asked, "I could end up turning you into dust!"
"i'll be fine," Sans said nonchalantly, "and it's not like i haven't gotten hurt, before!"
"B-but we're- ACK!"
Papyrus dodged as Sans started to throw bones at him. He tried to summon some bones himself, but he couldn't do anything. He tried to mimic his brother's movements, but that didn't work either. This went on for a while until both brothers had gotten out of breath. Out of everything in that fight, Papyrus was hit with only three bones, only losing 3 hp.
"Hey, Sans? I don't think it's working!"
"huh..." Sans shrugged as he sat down on the floor, his soul had stopped glowing. "well, i guess there's nothing we can do."
"YOU'RE JUST GONNA QUIT LIKE THAT!?" Papyrus yelled as he placed his hands on his hips. His soul had also stopped glowing. Sans snorted in response, "well, i could start using gaster blasters on ya, but i still have no idea how to use them."
"SANS!"
"hey, it's not like i'm an expert on magic or anything," Sans said, standing up. He wrapped an arm around his brother's back. "but who knows? once your magic awakens, you might even be stronger then king asgore!"
"That...might be possible, " Papyrus said, placing a gloved hand over his jaw. "But won't that mean I'm stronger then Dad, as well?"
"you'd be stronger then me, that's for sure."
"Hey, don't say that!" Papyrus argued, "Just 'cause you're fragile doesn't mean you're weak! I mean, I've seen you come up with really cool-looking strategies!"
"c'mon, pap...i'm not that great," Sans said, modestly.
"Well...once I learn how to use magic, I'll be able to come up with even cooler strategies," Papyrus said in response. "In the mean time, I'll just keep being you're cool brother shield!"
"i-if you say so..."
Papyrus walked over to the wall where his stuffed bunny was and picked it up. He ran over to his brother. "All right, let's go home!"
Sans nodded as he and Papyrus began to head back home. Knowing their father. he must be worried sick by now.
Walking along the streets of New Home, Sans had a sleeved hand on his jaw, his eyes were partially closed. "whaddaya think dad's gonna be making, tonight? maybe a quiche? or hamburgers? i dunno..."
Sans looked over at Papyrus, the younger skeleton was looking down at the pavement. Sans noticed his brother didn't look too happy.
"something wrong, pap?"
"Well...it sounds kind of stupid," Papyrus said, anxiously looking away.
"What are you talking about?" Sans asked, lowering his eyelids. Papyrus continued to look away. "D-do you think I'm...weird?"
"in what sense?" Sans asked.
"So you do think I'm weird!"
"only in a good way," Sans assured him. "i mean, you're talking to someone who drinks ketchup straight from the bottle!"
"I know, but...do you think we'll be able to become popular enough to have friends?"
"pap, we've been over this-"
"I know, but look at Dad," Papyrus interrupted, "He has this science thing going on with him and he's got plenty of friends at the lab."
"um...i'm pretty sure they're just his lab assistants."
"Oh, whatever," Papyrus said bitterly. "But...at least I still have you to hang around with, right?"
"Well, losers have to stick together...right, Rattles?"
Sans fell onto his backside as someone stepped on his sleeve. The skeletons looked behind them, there were two monsters. One of them was a round, horned monster, her giant eye turning into a sinister grin. She was an Astigmatism. The other monster was a small orange dragon, his leg was on Sans' sleeve.
"Careful, Brittles...you don't want to break your tailbone," Said the Astigmatism in a cold voice.
"You know, Sclara...he's probably broken his leg, already!" The dragon replied, "I wouldn't be suprised!"
Sans started to growl, his pupils disappeared from his eye sockets.
Papyrus had a blank expression, he held tightly onto Fluffy Bunny. "Y'know, Ricky...you'd probably have a lot more friends if you weren't so mean!"
"What was that, Rattles? I can't speak loser!"
"Now now, no need to say such things about yourself!" Papyrus replied. Sans couldn't help but snicker at his brother's comment.
Sclara looked at Ricky, her mouth once again turning into an eyeball. "You know, maybe he's right. Maybe we should be a little nicer to these chumps!"
"Hm..." Ricky placed a claw on his chin as he began to think. "I don't know...are they even good enough to be our friend?"
Sans chuckled. "ha! like we're desperate enough to-"
"I can be your friend!" Papyrus yelled, causing Sans to give him a dirty look. "pap, why-"
"Great," Ricky took his foot off of Sans' sleeve. "But if you really want to be our friend, then you'll have to get something for us."
"I'll get you anything," Papyrus said excitedly, "Please, just tell me what I have to do!"
"papyrus!" Sans grumbled through his teeth, trying helplessly to gain his brother's attention.
Sclara walked over to the skeletons, her arms waving daintily over her sides. "You see, there's a rumor going around that there's a hidden cave somewhere in Hotland. In that cave's s'posed to be an amazing treasure."
"OK...so where's the cave?" Papyrus asked, his curiosity instantly piqued. He heard Ricky and Sclara snickering.
"This cave's said to be hiding behind a lava stream," Ricky said as smoke came out of his snout. "Think of this like one of those hidden caves behind a waterfall, but with lava instead."
"If you can get that treasure, then we can become friends," Sclara said, revealing her teeth, once more.
Papyrus placed a hand over his chest as an imaginary wind made his scarf flutter. "Don't worry, new friends...Sans and I will take care of everything!"
Sans' bones rattled, he grabbed Papyrus by the arm and walked behind a nearby street lamp. "Pap... ? Can I talk to you, privately?"
Papyrus tilted his head as Sans dragged him behind a nearby street lamp. He noticed his brother's pupils were missing.. "What's the matter?"
"that's not how friends work, papyrus!" Sans grumbled, "you know they're gonna be up to something!"
"And how do you know?" Papyrus argued, "don't you think that maybe they actually want to be friends with us?"
"i want nothing to do with them!"
"Well, if you don't want to have friends, then why didn't you say something?"
"I NEVER SAID THAT I DIDN'T WANT FRIENDS!" Sans yelled, causing nearby monsters to look at the twin skeletons.
Papyrus sighed, "Well, don't you still want to go see the treasure, at least?"
"i still think it's a bad idea!" Sans argued. Papyrus began to pout, crossing his arms as Fluffy Bunny dropped to the ground. "I see, and I thought my brother would've loved to explore...but I guess he's just too boring!"
"what do you mean i'm boring!?"
"You're just too boring...all you do is lay around and read those boring science books."
"it's not my fault that Dad barely reads any of them!"
Papyrus continued to pout, looking away from his brother.
"pap, please...you know i'm not boring...we've known each other our whole lives, for cryin' out loud!"
No answer. Papyrus continued to pout all while giving his brother the silent treatment. Sans groaned as he threw his arms in defeat. "ok, you win!"
"I'm glad you finally see it my way, Sans," Papyrus said as he picked Fluffy Bunny off the ground. Sans rubbed the back of his skull. "still, i think we should tell dad about this."
"That's a good idea," Papyrus said happily, "I'm sure Dad would approve of this!"
The two skeletons began to make their way through New Home once again...Although Sans still felt suspicious about this "treasure".
The lights around New Home began to grow dim as night time came. It was dark enough for monsters to be able to sleep, yet it was light enough for monsters to find their way back home.
In one of the apartments, a skeleton was looking through a cook book as he was stirring elbow noodles in the pot...without water. This skeleton was...odd, to say the least. He had two cracks on his skull. One of them ran upwards along his right eye socket (which could barely open). The other crack went from his left eye socket down to his crooked-looking smile. He was wearing a long black robe that touched the floor. The skeleton was simply known as Wingdings Gaster.
Gaster heard the front door open, he saw Sans and Papyrus walk into the living room, exhausted. He walked into the living room, forgetting about the pot of noodles on the stove.
(You certainly took longer to get home then expected), Gaster signed, (Is everything all right?)
"everything's fine," Sans replied, "we just had a long day, today."
"Hey, Dad? Can we go to Hotland, later?" Papyrus asked. Gaster gave Papyrus an odd look. (But did you not just get home? It's almost time for dinner.)
"Oh..." Papyrus' smile faltered, "Then can we go to Hotland, tomorrow?"
Gaster shook his head, giving Papyrus a stern look, (You two have school tomorrow, so no!)
Sans looked around, his pupils seemed to be focused on the burning pot in the kitchen. "hey, dad? are we having pizza, again?"
(What makes you say that?)
The skeletons heard the smoke alarm go off, Sans' pupils has shrunk in surprise. "oh...no reason!"
(Excuse me), Gaster signed quickly as he raced into the kitchen, Sans could hear his father panicking in the other room.
Papyrus pulled on his brother's sleeves. "Hey, Sans?"
"yeah, bro?"
"How do we get to Hotland, now? I mean, we can't just skip school, can we?"
Sans shook his head, "nope...i've got a better idea."
Papyrus' eye sockets widened. "What is it?"
"we sneak out as soon as dad falls asleep," Sans said with a more mischievous grin. "after that, we should be able to sneak in and out of hotland before it's morning!"
"SANS, THAT'S GENIUS!"
"SHH!" Sans placed a sleeved hand over Papyrus' mouth, "but we gotta be quiet about this. capiche?"
Papyrus nodded in understanding as his brother let his sleeves touch the ground. The younger skeleton began to spit dirt out of his mouth. "Sans, you really need to wear something smaller!"
"i fit just fine in this," Sans argued, "but remember, once dad's asleep, we're heading over to hotland!"
"Gotcha!"
Both skeletons nodded in agreement before looking over at their father, he had a defeated look on his face.
(I guess we will be having pizza, tonight...)
And that ends chapter 1. I'll put chapters 2 and 3 up whenever I can.
