BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!
Ashley pulled out her phone and saw Papyrus' number. He had texted her something. She grinned. Him and Sans had given her their numbers the day before when they had come round. She was glad they had, because even though her family lived here, she still hadn't had any friends that lived in Snowdin.
Papyrus: HELLO MY FRIEND ASHLEY! WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRAIN WITH ME TODAY? UNDYNE IS WITH ALPHYS!
Even when texting he was loud.
Ashley: I'd love to Papyrus. Where should we meet, or should I go to your house?
Almost instantly, a reply came through.
Papyrus: HOW ABOUT WE GO NEAR THE BRIDGE AT THE EDGE OF SNOWDIN TOWN? WE COULD DICIDE THEN!
Ashley: That sounds great, I'll be there in a few minutes.
Papyrus: CAN SANS COME TOO? HE WANTS TO SEE YOU TOO!
Ashley felt her cheeks grow hot. Why did she feel this way? She had only just met these guys the day previous!
Ashley: Of course he can! I'd love to see him. I'm sure he'll have fun training with us.
Papyrus: NYEH! HE'D BE WAY TOO LAZY TO LIFT A FINGER!
Ashley: Okay ;) hope you're not telling a fibula.
Papyrus: NO! NOT YOU TOO WITH THE PUNS!
Ashley: I find them quite humorous actually. XD
Papyrus: nice one. see you in a bit.
Ashley: Okay, see you later Sans.
The monster put down her phone and pulled on her purple hoodie top over her white tee. She then slipped on her black leggings and brown boots. After that, she got her bag ready with some refreshment for the session. She was now ready.
Ashley made her way over to the skelebros, whom she could see in the distance. The taller skeleton waved her down energetically. She grinned and happily skipped over to them. Sans still had the same outfit on and was half asleep standing there. This made Ashley concerned.
"I hope I haven't made you wait long." She said, worry in her tone.
"NOT AT ALL! SANS IS JUST EXTREMELY LAZY!" Papyrus cried, slapping the back of his brother's skull.
Sans awoke suddenly and gazed at the dog monster with a smile.
"heya."
"Hi Sans, nice to see you are up. Are you ready to train?" Ashley asked, crossing her arms in response to the cold.
Both skeletons nodded, and off they went, in search of a perfect place to train. They had decided on a clearing of trees, with a nice clear space in the middle for training.
"Do want to battle me then, Papyrus?" Ashley asked, warming up her magic. The skeleton stood proudly and nodded.
"BUT YOU WILL NEVER BEAT ME!" He declared.
"We'll see about that." Ashley challenged.
They stood opposite of each other. Ashley held out her arm, a single sword appearing, flashing white, blue and orange. A song sounded out, instantly making Sans relax; it was such a comforting tune. Then it built up, as more swords appeared.
Papyrus tune then also came into earshot. His bouncy tune made Ashley bob her head along with a smile. Bones appeared, some blue, some white. Papyrus readied to throw them, as did Ashley.
They flew at each other with such rhythm, it hypnotised Sans for a moment. Ashley swiftly dodged all the attacks, whilst Papyrus stayed still when the blue ones approached, and moved through the orange swords. It was clear he had a lot of knowledge about all different types of attacks.
Sans watched on, intrigued, they seemed almost in sync with each other, making it look more like a dance than a battle. Papyrus obviously was a lot more patient and knew when Ashley would stumble. She tripped up on one of his better attacks and it struck her right on her white soul.
She got back up ready whilst Papyrus panicked.
"I AM SO SORRY! I HOPE YOU STILL WANT TO BE MY FRIEND!" He cried, tears forming in his eye sockets.
"Papyrus I only got hit! Of course I'll still be your friend. It was my fault. Guess you really are 'the great papyrus' after all."
His face blew up orange.
"YOU REALLY MEAN THAT?!" He cried, with an adorable face you had to love. Ashley giggled and nodded.
The tall skeleton gasped.
"I HAVE TO GO MAKE YOU SOME SPAGHETTI FOR OUR FRIENDSHIP! I WILL SEE YOU AROUND, BESTIE!" He exclaimed, before galloping off at a speed Undyne couldn't rival.
Ashley smiled and muttered "random but cute" under her breath. She looked around to talk to Sans, but he wasn't there.
"Uh, Sans?" She called out, but no answer came back. She sighed and rolled her eyes. Those boys were something else.
She was about to make her way back when something moved from behind a nearby bush. She walked towards it and saw a golden flower. With a face…
"Hi?" She asked, weirded out more than a little bit. She had lived in the underground, so obviously grown accustomed to different monsters, but she had never seen a sensual flower before.
"Howdy!" It said in a high pitched tone. She cocked an eyebrow but smiled at it.
"I'm Flowey. Flowey the flower."
"What do you need Flowey?" The girl asked, her voice friendly.
"I'm here to warn you."
"Warn me? About what?" The girl asked, confused.
"Those two skeletons you are hanging about with. They're bad news."
"You mean Papyrus and Sans? They're so sweet! Why would you say that?!" She said defensively.
"That's what they want you to think. Papyrus is not so bad, but Sans isn't what he seems. He's dangerous. I know because he's messed with me quite a lot of times. Please, stay away from him."
"I… don't… what…" Ashley stumbled over her words, not sure what to make of this. "Really?" She finally asked.
The flower grinned and nodded.
"The smiley trash bag has a lot of secrets he keeps, even from his own brother. You can't trust him."
The dog monster bit her lip and folded her arms: a nervous habit she had developed. Then she felt something wrap around her ankle. It didn't bother her at first, but it slowly travelled up her leg. She looked down and saw a vine sneaking up it. She gasped.
"ASHLEY LOOK OUT!"
Ashley spun around and saw Sans, his left eye ablaze in a cyan colour menacingly. The vine yanked her up in the air and she used her magic to struggle. It let her go and she fell on the ground with a THUD. She then saw Sans materialize what looked like a goat skull.
"leave. now." Sans growled at Flowey, making the golden flower grumble and dive into the ground.
Ashley got up with tears of pain and shock in her eyes. Sans turned to her, but the angry look still permeated his now empty eye sockets.
"i thought i actually found a friend. but now, i come back and see you hanging with the weed and conspiring against me and my bro!"
The girl quickly tried to defend herself.
"Sans, no it's not like that! I just- I don't- I didn't- I'm sorry! He was just very persuasive and then you pull something like that out of nowhere!"
Sans turned away from her, making her quiet down.
"goodbye ashley. it was nice knowing you. i don't hope to see you around. and stay away from papyrus."
He then, with a flash, disappeared, leaving Ashley stood there crying. What had she done?
