-So, what are we going to do now? – Asked Undyne, smiling at the hilarious scene in front of her. Alphys was trying to calm down the excited amalgams, they were running everywhere and messing up with her things. Endogeny was playing with Frisk and Papyrus, while Asgore tried to convince Toriel that they didn't seem dangerous at all, mostly because they were monsters in essence. Still she didn't believe in him, so she trying to prevent the amalgams from playing with Frisk, even if her friend's brother was there.

-I-I think we c-can bring them t-to their—W-Wait! D-Don't eat these—!-

-Bring them to their family? Yeah, that sounds like a plan- Said Undyne, petting one of them.

-S-Still, I'm a bit w-worried. I don't know h-how their families are g-going to react-

-Are you serious? No one is going to blame you, after all, all that you wanted to do is help!-

-Y-Yeah but—Endogeny! D-Don't play with F-Frisk like that! Oh my god, P-Papyrus, help the c-child! - Endogeny raised Frisk to their back, running and jumping. He had to hug their neck to not fall, Toriel was panicking but Papyrus knew they were having fun.

-NO WORRIES, ALPHYS! I'M SURE THEY'RE JUST HAPPY! AND FRISK IS HAVING A GREAT TIME TOO-

-B-But, t-the queen is also worried and—

-Relax, nerd- Began Undyne, she petted Endogeny and put Frisk down –We all are here, so Frisk is not in trouble! Right, punk?- Frisk nodded at Alphys and smiled to Toriel –Also, you really are telling me these guys are dangerous?-

-O-Oh no, of course they're not! But they tend to be r-rough while playing…- Suddenly, Alphys faced Asgore, a bit nervous –B-By the way, your majesty, I wanted to a-apologize for experimenting with d-determination without your consent. Because of m-me, these monsters are s-suffering and n-now they can't go back to n-normal. I-I mean, I lied and hid the truth from e-everyone but especially from you and all my friends. So, I-I'm really sorry- The lizard woman started to look at the floor, with guilt in her eyes, about to cry. But a comforting hug from her new friend, Frisk, warmed her chest and made her feel better.

Asgore approached her too and with a knee in the floor and a sincere smile, he put his huge paw on her left shoulder and said –As Undyne said, dear, no one is blaming you. It is truth that your actions weren't the most etic or appropriate, but look at me; I committed a lot of mistakes too. So I'm not the one who must judge you, none of us have the right to, because no one is perfect-

Everyone smiled, even Toriel. She had contradictory feelings about him; of course she was mad at him but, even after all his mistakes, he was still the same monster she had fall for. He was kind, supremely sweet, and just at his way. She didn't even know how a kind monster like him was capable of killing innocent people; however, talking about blaming someone, she was not being fair; after all, she ran away, technically. While he dealt with all the burden of being the ruler of the monsters, and giving them a new hope, she kept living alone in the ruins. Even if her intention was protect the humans from him, she did nothing to help her people. Now she understood that. Frisk saw her solemn face, and smiled mischievously.

-T-Thank you, your majesty. I-I appreciate it-

-WELL THEN, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?! WHAT IF FRISK AND ME GATHER THEIR FAMILIES IN ANY LOCATION, AND YOU ALL LEAD THEM THERE?-

-Actually that's a great idea, bonehead!- Undyne said rubbing her fist in his head. Papyrus replied with a nyehehe.

Frisk began to remember the first time he came to the underground. He was so scared at everyone, but eventually found them nice; now he regretted to have made a genocide run, they didn't deserve it. Seeing the large screen, he called the first time he saw a hidden camera, the fear of being watched, in the end he would know that was Alphys the one who watched him, it was so relieving that it was her, and not someone like Flowey or…Chara. Now the screen was focused on all the cameras that Alphys put on the underground. In particular, he took interest in one of them; there was the ruins' door, but it wasn't empty, as usual. There was Sans, talking to the door.

That was confusing, if Toriel was with them, then who was him talking to? Maybe a ruins' monster went down there, and tried to go out?

-Um, guys? Why is Sans talking to the ruins' door?-

Everyone looked at him, then, at the screen. In fact, there was Sans, laughing a lot, and talking.

-Maybe he got crazy. I mean, he's talking to a door…- Said Undyne.

-UGH, I THINK HE'S PRACTICING HIS HORRID "KNOCK, KNOCK" JOKES AGAIN-

-Don't you think he's talking to a ruins' monster?- Asked Toriel.

-NO, OBVIOUSLY THAT LAZYBONES IS JUST—OMG, THE DOOR IS OPEN!-

Sans took a few steps away while the door opened, revealing a girl. A visibly human girl, older than Frisk.


-Well, look who we have here. A wild grumpy human girl, howzzitgoin'?- Said him, she seemed like she was going to say something, but shut it. She was barely short than him. She had a short black semi wavy hair with white ends. Blue, almost violet eyes, and of course, a messed up outfit. He didn't even know how the fall didn't hurt her, she was technically unharmed. After a superficial analysis, he winked and raised his hand at her –By the way, the name is Sans, Sans the skeleton-

She kept looking at him, with skeptical eyes -You're…a…-

-Yeah, a skeleton. Mind shaking my hand?-

-O-Of course, it's just…we're not use to see talking skeletons that wear clothes on the surface- She approach him, and shake his hand –Razielle, just Razielle-

-Jeez, what a weird name you have-

-Not much of my fault, you know…And now you are the first Sans I know-

This is weird, his smile is empty too. She thought. But he feels melancholic, like he's trying to hide his true feelings.

-Welp, just Razielle. What brought you to the mount Ebott? I believed…humans thought this place was dangerous or…haunted-

-I thought this earlier, but you didn't stop calling me human-

-Huh? What are you talking about?-

-Can't you feel my aura? I mean, at this point should be clear-

Sans didn't know what she was talking about. What might be clear? Why he had the sensation that she was implying something? Now that one doubt was on his mind, he remembered that he didn't saw her stats at all, nor even check her. He wanted to believe in her, so he just let it go, but first, he wanted to know what she was referring to.

-You guys…can do that, right? You're monsters after all…-

Aura? Is she…referring about the check? Is that how they call it on the surface?

-So…I have to understand this silence as if you guys don't have any idea of how to differentiate a human from a monster?-

Is she telling him that…? No way.

-Are you trying to tell me that you're a…monster?- Sans seemed surprisingly confused. Then he remembered. If she was affirming that she was a monster, then she had to be one of the few monsters that stayed on the surface.

It was on the history books. When the war finished and the monsters lost, there was a minimal part of them that ran away and hid, while the rest of them were sent to the underground. This happened a lot of years ago, when Sans and Papyrus didn't where born, and even Toriel and Asgore weren't the rulers yet. He thought that they couldn't survive, but it seems like they did. And grew up in number too…

-So you are…a surface's monster…-

-Yep. I know that I seem a lot like a human, but it's just matter of evolution. Here, I will show you my true—

-Don't!- He stopped her, staying in front of the hidden camera –I mean…ugh, this will be hard to explain-

-Explain?-

-You know, because of what your ancestors did in the past, here monsters of the surface might not be…welcome. If anyone knows about you, you can be sure that everyone will call you traitor and might try to kill you too. And…here there some quite volatile people, so…- He said, imagining Undyne chasing this girl.

-Then…why are you telling me all of this and…why aren't you trying to kill me…?-

-You…uh…I think you're a nice person. As I told you, from now I will first understand the people before judge them. And you don't seem like a bad and traitorous person. But not everyone in here is like that, in fact, I can assure you that they won't understand as easily as they understood Frisk, the human, so…-

-So…maybe is that because the monsters on this ruins…attacked me?-

-It's the most probable thing. So…why don't we keep this between us? I'm sure nobody will complain if we introduce you as a human…-

-Introduce? Uh…wait a minute…- She sigh -I'm grateful of your company, Sans. And for being nice with me. But I'm not planning staying here for much time-

-Where do you think you are going?-

-The exit, maybe?-

-Look, it's more complicated than that. Why do you think we're not on the surface?-

-I uh…-

-It's because we can't. There is no exit. Because the humans trapped us, and put a magical barrier to keep us down here- He sighed and looked at her patiently with a smile -I'm sorry, but now you're as trapped as us. We can't break that barrier until we have seven human souls-

-How did I get involved in this? Ugh…- She leaned against a tree trunk. They flinched when they listened a sudden ringtone near Sans -Someone is calling?- She asked.

-Yeah, I'll come back in a minute-

-How do you even have signal here?-

-Sup?- He greeted.

-SANS! IT'S GREAT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN, BROTHER!-

-Same Bro, what's the matter? I thought you were helping Alphys to set free those guys-

-YES, OF COURSE I AM! AND I ALSO WAS WONDERING WHERE MY LAZY BROTHER COULD BE!-

-Uh, sorry for that Bro, I'm just bone tired and decided to take a nap. If you are suggesting me to go there and help, I think I pass. I'm…with someone right now, and—

-OH, I KNOW, SILLY. WE WERE WATCHING YOU!-

-Huh? What…?-

-I JUST WANTED TO WELCOME THE HUMAN YOU JUST FOUND! CAN YOU GIVE HER YOUR CELL PHONE, PLEASE?-

-I uh…- Sans approached her and handed her the cell phone. She looked at him with concern -Just my brother, his excited to meet you- He mouthed. How they knew about her?! That place it's just too weird…

-H-Hello?-

-HI, HUMAN! IS GREAT TO HAVE NEW VISITORS! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE TIMID, BECAUSE I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM WELCOMING YOU WITH OPEN ARMS!-

-T-Thank you. Sans…told me about you. Is nice to finally listen to you, Papyrus-

-OF COURSE IT IS. NOBODY CAN RESIST THE TEMPTATION OF KNOWING SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME. NOW, I WANTED TO ASK YOU IF YOU'RE INTERESTED ON PUZZLES—

Suddenly she had to take away the cell phone from her ear, because a voice yelling "NGAHHH!" Interrupted Sans' brother -Hey, punk! You better be a nice human, or you'll have to fight me!-

-W-What!?-

-D-Don't listen to her. S-She's just eager- Said a timid voice.

-I'm sorry I wasn't there to meet you, dear. I hope you're alright- This one was a more kind voice, like a motherly and loving voice -It's lucky you have found Sans, instead any other monster-

-Y-Yeah, I know, he's nice—

-BECAUSE IS THE BROTHER OF THE GREAT PAPYRUS, THAT'S IT-

-I'm sure he was slacking off! Like he always did! I think its lucky that you didn't met him sleeping!-

-I uh…am not sure who I am talking to—

-Oh, of course, dear. Right now we're in a important job, but we will meet once we've finished. I'm sure my friend will take good care of you-

-W-We have to hurry if we want to m-meet her, so…-

-OH, THAT'S RIGHT! WE CAN MEET THEM IN SNOWDIN!-

-Dealt, nerd!-

Suddenly the call was cut off.

-This is the weirdest call I've ever had…-

-You look confused, did someone else speak to you other than my brother?-

-Everyone, I think…- She returned his cell phone -I think I'm stuck with you now. A kind lady told me that you WILL take good care of me-

-Damn it, Tori…- He laughed a bit -Welp, it's not like I have something else to do so… let's head up to Snowdin, I'm sure everyone there will be happy to meet you. But remember, from now on you're a human-

-Got it- While they were going to Snowdin (She was awfully cold, by the way) Sans didn't stop telling her jokes, thing that made her grunt, mostly because she couldn't help but laugh a bit, and that frustrated her. They couldn't have a normal conversation, nor even chat a little about things in that place; Sans just kept telling jokes, but she could feel inside him, as earlier, that he was hiding something; something that pained him, something that was suffocating his soul. She immediately knew that making people laugh relieved him, because every time he made her snort his negative feelings went away momentarily. She kept quiet about it, she didn't want to go into a personal topic, but didn't miss the limited times that she caught him with a different look, like he was remembering something bad, something that made him frown.

Maybe it has something to be with the murderers that Sans told her earlier? To make him stop thinking in bad things, she decided to maintain the conversation.

-Hey, look at this. This is one of my brother's puzzles-

-Right? And…where it is?-

-In front of you. But it might be off, so just go ahead. Nothing bad is going to happen-

They cross it -…So, is your brother a puzzle enthusiast?-

-Yeah, kinda. I think he just likes challenge people. You know what they say, don't interrupt someone working intently on a puzzle. Chances are, you'll hear some crosswords-

-Oh, Sans…I swear—

-By the way, I almost forgot. You've told me that you killed one monster right? But what about the other one? It's not very common that monsters here flee like that-

-Oh, yeah? Well, when I fell and saw the flowers and the arch at the beginning, I thought that there were habitants here. And in fact there were, but instead of a warm welcome I met a yellow flower that tried to kill me-

-Wait, a yellow flower?-

-Is a elusive flower that thought I was an idiot. He really seemed a lot surprised when I attacked him so…he just fled, and never came back-

-A yellow flower with a no reliable smile?-

-You know him?-

Sans sighed -Yeah, I think he hates me. I don't trust him very much too- Again, that fake smile, but it was fading away. And that frown. She was getting more and more anxious, because she couldn't do anything to help him. It was frustrating, not be able to help the only one who helped you.

-Um…- She stopped walking and put her eyes at the ground. Sans saw at her confused. She couldn't believe she was about to do this -You know what? I always had a question that no one in my entirely life answered me…-

A faint smile grew in his face -Oh yeah, what it is? Maybe I can help ya-

-Uh…How many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh?-

-What a weird question. Are you sure you aren't a human?-

-Oh, actually I have the answer. Ten-tickles- Well, this was awkward. It was awfully silent and she was getting red of embarrassment. Maybe Sans hated her joke? It was a possibility. But then, she heard him laugh as it was the best joke anyone could tell him. She was shocked. She kept going.

-Lookie there, you aren't that grumpy!- He said.

-I'm positive I just lost an electron, better keep an ion that. By the way, another question, what kind of math do snowy owls like?-

-Enlighten me, weirdo-

-Owlgebra- He laughed a lot this time too. And showed her, even in just that moment, a genuine smile.

-I actually thought you hated jokes!-

-I hate them!- She yelled -I was trying to make you feel better, bonehead!-

-Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say-

-I'm serious!- He winked and put his hand on her shoulder.

-I know, and I appreciate it. But we need to hurry up and arrive to Snowdin, you're cooling there, and I won't be able to carry a living ice cube-

-Again, I hate you- Now she knew why he liked telling jokes to the people.


Autor's note:

I really thank the ones who decided to follow this story :D If there is any error in the grammar, I would appreciate if anyone tells me, just to improve and give you a better fanfiction.

By the way, there was one question in the previous chapter, so I will answer: Is this fanfiction going to have any ships?

The answer is yes, it's confirmed that there will be ships. But the romance is not going to be the principal topic, as you said; This fanfic will be more focused on the plot, and will be separate by arcs, like Sans' arc, or Flowey's arc or…well, you know, like that. So, expect the romance develop slowly, even for the ones who are already together (Ahem, Alphyne).
