"What a terrible creature, torturing such innocent youth." said the mysterious half-woman-half-animal figure.
"Youth? I'm not a little kid, lady." Amethyst said, clearly offended.
"OH, I'm apologize for assuming your age, my chi...hmm, my...uh what is your name?" she asked us.
"Amethyst.." Amethyst grumbled.
"AND I'M STEVEN!" said Steven giggling.
"Well, I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins." Toriel said politely, "I was through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down. You are the first human to come here in a long time. Come! I will guide you through the catacombs." she said gently.
"This way!" Toriel said as she started walking. Toriel then guided them through spikes, rocks, buttons, levers, and other peculiar puzzles. Steven, of course, was goofing off and playing the entire time. Until she leaded them to a dummy.
"Now, practice talking to the dummy." she said, like it was normal. Amethyst and Steven were now holding back from laughing.
"Ok...Ok Dummy, lovely weather we're having" Steven said trying his best not to laugh. Nothing happens.
"Ah, very good!" she said, looking happy with him. They went on more puzzles and task until...
"You have done excellently thus far however... I have a difficult request to ask of you. I would like you to walk to the end of the room by yourself. Forgive me for this." she said, looking slightly odd. She then proceeded to walk to the other side of the room and hid. Steven and Amethyst both thought she was insane, they wanted to leave then but they couldn't leave Garnet and Pearl, so the ventured on! They kept walking until they saw the pillar she was hiding behind.
"Greetings, do not worry, I did not leave you. I was merely behind this pillar the whole time. Thank you for trusting me, however there was an important reason for this exercise...to test your independence." Toriel stated.
"But, I walked with him." Amethyst noted.
"Oh well, now run along, I must attend to some business." Toriel said. She left them alone and they explored the ruins until they stumble upon her house. She had made a butterscotch cinnamon pie!
"Surprise! I thought we might celebrate your arrival. I want you to have a nice time living here, so I will hold off on the snail pie for t-" Toriel said before being interrupted by Amethyst.
"Woah, woah, woah, did you say 'living' here? Cause, sorry, but we're looking for our friends." Amethyst interrupted.
"Friends...oh..uh...sure they're right in here, STAY RIGHT HERE, eheheheeeee..." Toriel said nervously. She went downstairs and they never saw her come back up, so they went it after her. She then next to the door gesturing for us to go through. As we exited she quickly closed the door, and we swore we could hear crying. We noticed that outside the door it was...snowing so we just walked until we started to see something. We kept walking until we stopped.
"Human. Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand." said a voice. Steven slowly turned around, as Amethyst watched closely. 'PFFFT'
"The ol' whoopie cushion in the hand trick." the stranger said, now taking a more delightful tone.
"Hahahahahaha!" Steven cried!
"Heh, I'm Sans, Sans the skeleton" he said, clearly proud Steven laughed at his joke.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Steven, Steven the...human...gem." said Steven.
"Gem? Your with those two who tried to attack us right?" Sans said.
"Wait...I gotta better question, do you wanna have a bad time." he asked, his eye turning blue.
