Alex: Hello ladies, gents, and others. I'm glad to announce that I'm working on another fanfiction… This one to be exact! I'm sure no one would take me seriously if they read "Our Depths of Hell" before this (which I think you should read just for the laughs. Don't worry, you don't have to be in the fandom), but I promise this won't be as bad… Though my writing style is overall shit anyways. Still, I hope whoever reads this can find some sort of enjoyment out of it… So without further adieu, "Fool's Gold".


The substance had fascinated him the second he had seen it.

Sans had found it in the caves in which the echo flowers lie. He remembers something like this being described to him by that voice behind the door in the woods. 'Fool's Gold', the voice mimicked in his head. The permanent smile on the skeletons face seemed to fade but only in the slightest. "Maybe…" He said to himself. "Maybe if I tell her about it… She'll unlock the door and I'll finally be able to see her!" His expectations on their sooner visit could be described as off the hook and a little over exaggerated… However Sans didn't really seem to care. After all, he'd finally be meeting the girl he's been talking to for so long now.

A face to the voice… Ah, how nice it was to think about it. She probably had a cute little nose… Maybe even pretty eyes. Who knows… She could be a skeleton just like him! Wouldn't that be nice? Then they would have more than just bad puns in common.

The thought made him tired, and soon enough he fell into a blissful sleep…

At least, he thought he was going to. However, it wasn't long before sniffling could be heard and there was a light tug on his jacket. Popping open an eye socket, Sans came face to face with a small skeleton with ecto-tears streaming down his face. Sans instantly shot up into a sitting position.

"Heyya, Pap. What seems to be the problem?"

The little one latched onto his older brother. "I had a really bad dream… Why didn't you come back to tell me a story, brother?" Papyrus asked, a waver in his voice.

"Story?" Sans questioned. "You usually want puzzles before bed. Is Papy finally growing up?" He asked with a smug look on his face.

Papyrus began to pout. "Now that you say that, yes! I do want puzzles! And I'll have you know that puzzles are very adult-". He stood still with an… odd look on his face.

"What is it bro? You look like you've seen a ghost." On that note, Sans looked around to see if Napstablook was anywhere to be seen. Nope, he was no where. "What's got you so spooked, kid?"

Papyrus blankly pointed to the fool's gold. "I…. I, the great Papyrus demand you let me have that!" He demanded, adding in shyly, "... please…?"

Sans didn't really know what to do… He wanted so badly to meet that lady on the other side of the door… However, he had already let his brother down once today, and the fool's gold would make him happy…

The substance had fascinated him the second he had seen it, but it fascinated his brother more. He wouldn't get to meet her, but it payed to see his brother happy.


Alex: Yeah so that was that… Tell me if you want more because I actually really do want to finish this. First time I've had a story idea in years tbh (a story idea that was actually good). Okay so tell me if you'd like to see this continue… Please take the time to review and give me feedback. Thanks for reading!
