As sans was on his way home, he stopped at the musical statue, still holding the dead echo flower, and started thinking about the dream he had last night.

"Man, dreams are weird," he said to no one in particular.

Alphys was walking along heading to Undyne's house when she heard sans talking. "Y-Yeah, they sure are." She wasn't exactly sure if he had been talking to her or anyone at all, but thought it would be polite to say something since she was there.

Sans turned around, startled. "Oh! Hey Alphys, what brings you here?"

"U-Um, I'm just heading to Undyne's house, but could I talk with you for a minute?" She seemed kind of nervous and Sans was very curious now. He had worked with her in the past but had quit a while ago because of the experiments she had started doing.

Sans decided to approach this cautiously, because he wanted to ask her something too, but had to get her on the subject first. "Yeah, sure, what is it?"

"Well, y-you know how you s-stopped working with m-me because of the e-experiments I was d-doing?"

**Oh, well that was easy, she's already on the subject I wanted to talk about** Sans thought. "Yeah, what about them?"

"I made a t-terrible mistake and I want to ask you s-some q-questions about w-what to d-do." Alphys seems very nervous now and almost regrets saying anything.

"Um, okay. What was the experiment? I heard you were asking for monster who had fallen down a while back. Is it something to do with that?" Sans is very perceptive and so had suspected she had been doing something with all of those body's but did not know how to ask her about it since he wasn't working with her anymore.

Alphys is very startled at the fact that he knew about it already, "H-How did you know? Um, never mind, yes it's about that. How much do you know already?"

He is a little bit amused because Alphys thinks he knows more than he does, "I only know that you were collecting monster's who had fallen down, nothing else"

"Oh okay, u-um, w-well, it started when I injected a-all of their s-souls with a substance I am c-calling *Determination*" ***time-lapse***

A little while later, after Alphys is done telling him the whole amalgamate story she asks sans what he thinks she should do.

"Well, I think you should let the amalgamates go back to their family's and give a huge apology to all of them. Although, I don't think they will be that angry considering you basically brought them back to life."

"Well, if you t-think that's the b-best thing to do t-then I had b-better get on w-with it b-before I lose my n-nerve" She starts to stand up since she had sat down while telling the story to sans.

Sans has to make a move, and quickly too. He struggles in his mind to find something to say but finally finds the perfect thing. "Talking flowers are strange huh?" He wants to know if she had done any experiments on flowers lately.

Alphys gets extremely nervous since she had indeed been doing some experiments on flowers or rather just one flower, and they were already on the subject of bad experiments. But that was quite a while ago, how would sans even know about that, maybe he's just talking about the echo flowers. No, he must have seen or heard something and is wondering what I did to that flower. She decides to tell Sans about the records in the lab.

"Um, yeah, they a-are. I have another thing to confess, but I c-can't really do it r-right now so you can just g-go look at the lab r-records. They're not in the u-upper lab, um, they a-are in the true l-lab through the 'bathroom' d-door. I r-really should get g-going now. M-Maybe I'll talk to you l-later." She hurries off before giving Sans time to say anything else.

Sans was surprised at her quick confessions but teleports to the, true lab was it? As quickly as possible. He looks through all of Alphys' entries and they talk about the amalgamates and how Flowey left after having determination injected into him.

"I knew it," he said as he kept walking along. Eventually, Sans found a room with a tv in it. He looked around and found a bunch of destroyed tapes. When he looked under the tv, Sans finds a dusty tape labeled tape 4. He puts the tape in the tv and listens.

"I don't like this idea..." Sans realizes that the voice on the tv is the same one he heard in the echo flowers.

"Wh...what? N-no I'm not...big kids don't cry. Yeah, you're right" He wondered who the voice was talking to, but kept listening.

"No! I'd never doubt you. Y-yeah, we'll be strong, we'll free everyone. I'll go get the flowers, you can count on me ch" *Snap, crackle*

The tv sparks from an electrical power surge, and when Sans looks at the tape, he sees that it has been fried and is melted to the vhs.

"What! Again?!" *sigh* "Looks like I am still no closer to figuring out what's going on yet. Hmm...I wonder if Alphys knew about the tapes" He goes back to waterfall to see if Alphys is still at Undyne's house.

*knock knock*

Sans hears footsteps and a moment later, Undyne answers the door. "What's up Sans? Do you need something, and is it important?"

Suddenly, Alphy walks to the door and sees Sans, "Oh, f-find everything you needed?" Sans sees that she's not nearly as nervous as she was before and so he is pretty sure that she has told Undyne and all of the families what she did. It also looks like no one was mad at her because she's not stuttering nearly as much as she was before.

"Um, yeah. Actually," Sans decides to ask her about the tapes now instead of later. "Do you know about any tapes in the room with the tv?"

Alphys looks really confused, "No, there are no such tapes." She couldn't even remember why she had put the tv in there in the first place.

"Okay, I guess I'll just leave then. Thanks for talking with me, and stuff." Sans is truly grateful even though the information didn't help him much.

"Oh, um, no p-problem" Alphys and Undyne go back inside and close the door.

Sans goes back to his house in snowdin to take a quick nap before deciding what to do about this situation.

ZZZzzz
