Chapter Two W D Gaster

The day after sans and Papyrus let me stay with them, sans took me to Grillby's after Papyrus said he was going to Undyne's house to train. Sans introduced me to Grillby and everyone in the pub as being new to Snowdin. I played a song with my guitar after one of the monsters in the pub requested it.

Currently, I am having a burger with sans after performing at Grillby's when a monster kid runs up to me and asks me "Can you play Undyne's theme" he hands me some music sheets and I look through them.

"Give me a few days to learn it and I will be able to play the theme" I respond after I finished my meal and sans finished his drink he led me to a secluded part of Snowdin and leant against a tree.

"Sans are you alright?" I ask

"I'm fine" Sans immediately responded

"No you aren't sans, it's not healthy to keep things bottled up," I say

"Alright since you trusted me enough to tell me your past, do you know the multiverse theory?" sans inquires

"Yes, I've heard of it why?" I reply

"this isn't the first time I've seen a human in snowdin recently but it is usually a kid, not a teen and I've seen time after time the kid reset sometimes they are peaceful and sometimes they have gone on a killing spree. This is the first time I've seen you show up. I can't keep watching the kid go on a killing spree and reset again. Every time I get settled on the surface I wake up here in snowdin. It has to stop I can't take it anymore" Sans explains

"Sans I will help you find a way to stop the endless resets. Sans, I'm an adult human I know I look younger than I am" I say as I pull sans into a hug to comfort him. After that, we started walking to the entrance of the ruins.

Sans knocks on the door "knock knock" sans asks

"Who's there?" Toriel asks

"ya," Sans says

"Ya who?" Toriel asks

"yahoo! i'm just as psyched to see you" sans says the punchline and Toriel laughs and I smile happy to hear Toriel's voice

"hey toriel I brought a friend of ours with me" sans says

"Hi, Toriel how are you doing?" I greet Toriel and we talked about what's been going on recently for us and sans thankfully didn't interrupt it.

"knock knock," sans says

"Who's there," Toriel asks

"nanna," Sans says

"Nanna who?" Toriel asks

"nanna your business, that's who" sans says and Toriel and I laugh we spent a long time telling jokes to each other. Sans and I said goodbye to Toriel and vice versa and we went back to Sans' and Papyrus' house.

"Brother you and Arietta are late" Papyrus stated

"Sorry bro we lost track of time" sans says and with that we had dinner and Papyrus is getting better at cooking every day soon he may make something edible. After watching an episode on TV staring Mettaton I appreciated the show because I understood his desire to entertain his viewers as well as trying to keep hope for monster kind. Sans and Papyrus went to their rooms after bidding me goodnight and once sans had entered his room I laid down on the couch and went to sleep.

I took in my surroundings to notice that I am chained to a wall which caused my heart to beat rapidly as I tried to get free even more so when I saw the man that had attacked my family walk over to me with a sadistic grin on his face.

I screamed for help as he started hitting me when everything around me froze as a skeleton with scars on his face appears. He has an angry look on his face as he took in the scene and soon everything around me went black and I am in my adult form again.

"Hi, my name is Arietta what's your name?" I ask

"My name is W D Gaster but you can call me Gaster, could you tell me who that man that was hurting you is?" he introduced himself

"It's a long story, one I'm not quite up to explaining just yet'" I answer

"Longer than the cut-down version you gave my son sans. I know that because I saw and heard it happen. I was the previous royal scientist and due to an accident at work, I fell into my creation. It led to me being stuck in the void and with your help, I think I can get out of it" Gaster says

"Alright I will help you get out but how can I help you get out of the void?" I ask

"Get Sans to take you to the lab that is behind this house the blueprints that are in it are mostly right they just need one adjustment which is a small gear replacing the broken middle gear and the machine should work enough for me to come back" Gaster voices

"Ok I will tell sans about it" I agree

"Would you mind if I took a look at your soul?" Gaster inquires

"I don't mind" I voice and Gaster pulls my soul from my body

"Interesting, this is connected with your past with the way it is diagonal and your soul being turquoise means that it is a mix of patience and Integrity, when I come back would you tell me your past and not the cut down version, you should really tell someone about it" Gaster says I look at Gaster for a few seconds He is right I need to tell someone the full details of what happened and not the cut down version I usually give

"Ok I will tell you but only you" I finally say

"When I have finally gotten out of the void we will talk" Gaster exclaims and with that I wake up to find sans standing in front of me.

"are you alright I heard you whimpering?" sans asks

"I'm fine I started having a nightmare but a tall skeleton who introduced himsel Gaster appeared and stopped the nightmare we had a chat" I reply and I see sans stiffen and he is locked on me

"What did you two talk about?" he asks

"Gaster told me with my help he can get out of the void he said to get you to take me to the lab behind this house, that the blueprints that are in it are mostly right they just need one adjustment which is a small gear replacing the broken middle gear and the machine should work enough for him to come back. After that our conversation went in another direction" I answer sans seems to brighten a bit hope appearing in his eyes.

"let's do it now" sans says and takes my arm and teleports into the lab, he walks over to the machine and takes the covering off the machine and he passed me the tools to open the machine when it is open I remove the broken gear and sans takes the gear and hands me a small gear and I put it where the broken gear was and I closed the machine and sans turned it on and after a few seconds the room is engulfed in a bright light.

When the light dimmed a tall skeleton with scars on his face is standing in front of sans and I, I could tell that it worked Gaster is out of the void and sans went to Gaster and hugged him who returned the hug. We went back into the house and sans went to his room and back to sleep while Gaster led me to his bedroom.

"Now Arietta could you tell me about your past now please" Gaster voices and I tell him the full story of my past and I had to take a deep breath during several points of the tale so I wouldn't break down. At the end of it I broke down and started crying Gaster pulled me into him and hugged me and removed the horns and tail and placed them on a table he ran his hands through my hair not saying a word just holding me close to him.

"Thanks" I exclaim and I pull away after several minutes went past and Gaster wiped the tears from my face.

"We should get some sleep" Gaster voices

"Yeah but I don't think I am going to be able to I will just have nightmares of my past" I say

"Why don't we share this bed perhaps having someone with you would help, do you want to give it a try?" Gaster suggests it may just work and if it helps me get some rest I will give it a try

"Alright it is worth a shot" I agree and I pull my wings in and Gaster took his coat off and hung it on a coat rack and got into bed next to me and he turned the light off and he fell asleep and though it took me several seconds I fell asleep as well.

I open my eyes to see that I am cuddled into Gaster and he has his arms wrapped around me in a protective hold I look at his face and notice how peaceful he looks while asleep. After a few seconds Gaster opens his eye sockets and notices out position we let go of each other and I sit up as Gaster gets out of bed.

"How did you sleep?" Gaster says while putting his coat on

"I slept better than I thought I would" I answer and I sit on the bed.

"Does Sans and Papyrus know about you being human? Even with the disguise with the horns, tail, and your wings?" Gaster asks

"I know that sans knows about me being human but I don't think Papyrus knows or if he does he hasn't let on that he does" I answer just then sans knocks on the door and Gaster opens the door and greets sans.

"Sans does Papyrus know about Arietta being a human but disguises herself as a monster?" Gaster asks

"No I don't think he does" sans replies

"Arietta why don't you go down with just your wings and we will tell him about you being human" Gaster suggests and I agree wanting Papyrus to know the truth. We left the room and went downstairs and Papyrus froze when he sees Gaster.
