A/N: This chapter might seem a bit confusing. While it wasn't completely intended, I did want some things to be more vague.
Written for this story prompt: "Somebody messed up the space time continuum and random people from the past and future keep appearing in your living room." ( post/159201924870/writing-prompt-s-somebody-messed-up-the-space)

"hey. is anyone there…? i guess i'll just leave a message.
"i have no idea what you're doing, and i'm not entirely ungrateful, but maybe when you mess with spacetime, give us a little warning?"
"SANS, PLEASE DON'T ANTAGONIZE WHOEVER YOU'RE TALKING TO."
"okay."
"WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO, ANYWAYS?"
"nobody."
"OH. OKAY. TELL THEM I SAY HI!"
"papyrus says hi."
"IS THAT THE ANOMALY?"
"yep."
"INTERESTING. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET THEM IN PERSON."
"i'll tell 'em." The sound of bone rubbing the speaker filled the silence. "dad wants to meet you in person. we have things to talk about, anyways. maybe you could call me back later?"
"SANS, YOU NEVER GIVE ANYONE YOUR PHONE NUMBER! THEY WON'T KNOW WHERE TO CALL YOU!"
"oh, yeah. welp, call paps back later."

"Wha-"

Ring, ring…
"Sans? This is Toriel. Frisk told me they were with you, but won't tell me where you are. Please call back."

"HELLO?"
"Papyrus? This is Toriel. Do you know where Sans and Frisk are?"
"HELLO, QUEEN TORIEL! I'M AFRAID I DO NOT. THEY RAN OFF WITH DAD AND-"
"You have a father?"
"OF COURSE I DO! WHERE DO YOU THINK BABY SKELETONS COME FROM?"
"No, no, that is not what I meant. I just… I never knew you had living parents."
"TRUTHFULLY, I DID NOT, EITHER. HE JUST SHOWED UP IN OUR LIVING ROOM. MORE PEOPLE BEGAN SHOWING UP, AND HE BECAME WORRIED. HE RAN OFF WITH DAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED."
"Maybe I could help? I could help find homes if they are homeless-"
"NO, NO. THEY'RE NOT HOMELESS. THEY JUST… CAN'T FIND THEIR HOME."
"Perhaps I could help them?"
"SANS ASKED ME TO TAKE CARE OF THEM MYSELF- HUMAN? YOU WISH TO SPEAK WITH THE QUEEN?... QUEEN TORIEL, THERE IS A HUMAN HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU."
"That is fine." The phone was quickly passed to the other party. "Hello?"
"Mom? What happened?"
"...Chara?"
"Yes?"
"I… I thought I had lost you…"
"I'm sorry."
"It is alright, my child. I am coming over. Please do not leave Papyrus' side."

"I… I really didn't mean to. It was an accident, Sans, I swear! Please… don't be upset…"

"Why won't you leave me alone?"
