It has been one month since falling in to the hole, and you have enjoyed your time very much. You spend your day talking to the dummy and being taught by Toriel. You were happy here, catching snails and eating delicious pies, but it still felt like something was missing. You asked toriel to tell you about what was outside of the ruins, but it seemed to make her cross and upset. You didn't want to upset your goat mom, but you were still curious and your sense of adventure got the best of you. One day you decided to sneak over to the door that separated the monster world and the human world. There, you were met by your caretaker who appeared to be a little angry. But still, you were determined to see the world.

You almost expected a fight. Instead, her expression softened and you were met by a warm hug.

"Take care my child. I understand that you want to see the world. I used to fight the children that wanted to leave... and when they would spare me... I told them to leave and never return.. but you're different. I know you'll return... please do. Whenever you can. Okay?"

You nodded happily and began to gather your belongings. On your bed you found a small box. You opened it, and there was a phone inside. Toriel appeared in the doorway. "I figured you could have this so we could always keep in touch." You smiled and thanked her for the gift with an appreciative nod. Once you had finally gathered your stuff into a small backpack, you and Toriel walked back to the exit door. With a smile and small tears in your eyes, you bid farewell to your lovely mother. She smiled and waved back to you. She hadn't even closed the door before your phone began to buzz in your pocket. Toriels motherly voice filled your ear. "Hello my child. Are you doing alright with your journey so far? Beep once for yes, and twice for no." You pressed a button and it made one single beep. You could almost hear her smile through the phone. "Okay my child. Call me if you need anything!" She hung up with a single click.

You began your journey. For the next twenty minutes, you walked peacefully along the forest until some weird occurrences took place.. you had been investigating a branch only moments ago. After this, you had a mini panic that in your haste of the investigation, you had dropped your phone. You spun around to check... and noticed the branch was shattered. After reassuring yourself that your phone was secure in your pocket, you began to consider calling Toriel. /No./ you thought to yourself. /I must prove that I can do this myself, or she'll make you go home with her./ With a new air of uneasiness, you began your journey from where you had left off moments before.

Suddenly, you noticed a shadowy figure behind you. You started to shake and run faster, in fear of what it could be. Toriel had warned you that some monsters despised humans. That was when you came to the barred gate on the bridge. Trying to calm yourself down, you took deep breaths, but stopped once you heard footsteps behind you. You began to shake and silently cry.

" human."

Your shaking worsened. You were ready to launch yourself off of the bridge if needed, so you wouldn't have to endure the torture the monster surely had planned for you.

"don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand."

You spun around, and he reached toward you for a handshake. Frightened, you screamed and stepped back, almost falling off the cliff. The shadowy figure grabbed you and pulled you back from the edge to keep you from falling. When he grabbed your hand, his made a farting cushion. You stood up and began to cry a little bit from fear, but laughed at the whoopee cushion in the figures hand.

"hey kid, there's nothing to be afraid of. gee, you look like you've seen a ghost." He stepped in to the light, with a goofy grin "thankfully, i'm just a skeleton." You laughed at his lame joke, and wiped away your tears. He began to look you up and down. "so. you're a human, right?" You nodded. "that's hilarious. i'm sans. sans the skeleton. i'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now."

You began to shake with fear. "hey kid, nothing to worry about. i don't really care about it that much. my brother however.. he's a human hunting FANATIC. actually, i think that's him over there." You began to shake again. "hey, kid, don't worry about it. i'll get you to my house safely. then, you and papyrus can meet, okay? i'm sure you two will become friends." Although scared, you became filled with determination. You nodded confidently. "good.. that's what i like to see from a human. determination." You smiled at him.
