Chapter two:
"Okay Sans let us get ready to head off then." Papyrus announces as they finish the dishes from their pancake breakfast. "We have work to do."
"Yeah. Right." Sans agrees and the two are about to head out when a frantic sounding knock comes to the door.
The two turn to the door both wondering who it could be.
Papyrus heads over in large strides and opens it to see who it is. "Oh Undyne hello." He greets. "What can we do for you?"
"Hey Paps. Have you seen Alphys?" Undyne questions looking rather hopeful at the skeleton. She is wearing a black tank top, dark jogging pants and her brown boots. She mostly has just taken to not wearing her armour anymore as she is mainly a gym teacher now.
"Not today so sorry no I haven't." Papyrus informs her and her ear fins droop in disappointed worry.
"Oh."
"What's up?" Sans asks coming over to the two who turn to him as he stands by Papyrus.
"Undyne is looking for Alphys." Papyrus explains and Sans's eyes flicker from Papyrus's eyes to Undyne.
Undynes expression shows great worry and sadness making Sans feel a little worried as well.
"Maybe she went out to grab something." Sans tries to cheer Undyne up though he hopes his feeling of that something bad happened is wrong. "Why not wait for her at the labs? If she doesn't show up then call us and we can look together."
"Yes! If Alphys does not return then all of us will help. It'll make it easier to cover more ground after all." Papyrus agrees and a little hope returns to Undynes expression.
"Yeah. Thanks guys. I'm gonna head to the labs then and see if she comes." Undyne confirms. "I'll also remind her to answer her phone. We'll see ya!" She turns and dashes off and Papyrus closes the door after a few moments.
"Well. Undyne will find her." Sans turns and heads towards the stairs.
"Sans! Don't we have to meet up with Frisk today to help with her representing monsters?" Papyrus questions making Sans pause.
"Yeah." Sans looks over his shoulder to his brother. "Some stuff from that meeting. But there'll be a few people from the government too." He and Papyrus had been given special jobs by Undyne and Frisk. He helps Frisk with the work that comes with being the monster ambassador and Papyrus is the body guard. He likes how it turned out because he doesn't have to be active other than helping with paperwork mostly.
The people have gotten used to how Sans and Papyrus dress which is in their usual style and they are left alone about it. They also let Frisk dress as she wants from the start while silently judging him and Papyrus but Frisk is a human kid after all.
An eleven year old who is doing this for an entire race has gotta have some respect right away. Especially with how good she is at it.
"We should make sure we're ready right away."
"Yes of course." Papyrus nods in agreement to this. "Lets go."
The two skeletons dress in their usual attire and head off to go meet up with Frisk. They make it to Toriels house since it's a school day off and Sans knocks on the door.
The house is two stories with a dark brown cozy looking home.
Toriel opens the door smiling especially when she sees the two that are standing there.
"What's up Torie?" Sans greets the female goat monster using the slightly shorter version of her name.
Toriel hasn't really changed her look so she pretty much looks the same as before.
Asgore was the main one to change his look out of the monsters that went to stop the fight between Asgore and Frisk. He now wears button up long sleeved floral printed shirts and jean blue pants instead of his usual outfit.
"I was just making sure that Frisk was ready to go Mr. Bones." Toriel greets back.
Sans chuckles while Papyrus winces. "We'll Miss Fluffy is the kid ready?" He asks back making Papyrus groan.
"Well at least those stupid nicknames are not as bad as those puns you two love so much." Papyrus rubs his skull between his eyes and the other two just laugh.
"Aw come on Paps. I thought you were having such a puntastic time."
"Oh my god Sans!" Papyrus slightly glares at his brother who laughs alongside Toriel.
Frisk pops out from behind Toriel who looks down noticing movement.
"Ah there we go my child." Toriel greets smiling.
Frisk is wearing her typical blue and pink stripped shirt with dark jeans and black runners. "Hey Sans. Hey Papyrus." She greets the two at the door.
"Sup kid. How's school?" Sans asks as they kind of watch Frisk. "You're just starting your second semester of I'm not mistaken."
"Yeah. I had a little trouble finding Mr. Wong's classroom so I arrived late but they are forgiving the first few days for that." Frisk explains to the two skeleton monsters.
"Oh. Well you know. That's because he's always in the 'wong' classroom." Sans begins with a shrug and ends in a wink.
"ARGGGGGGG!" Papyrus groans loudly while the others laugh.
Once the laughing dies down Toriel turns to Frisk.
"All set?"
"Yup. I'm all ready to go." Frisk tells her with a nod and Toriel nods as well.
"Okay. Enjoy yourself. Try to not be home late." Toriel nods. "And at least you won't feel bonely with these two at your side."
"Argggg!" Papyrus almost shouts while the others laugh a little.
"I'll bring her back when we're all done." Sans assures Toriel who nods.
"Much appreciated."
With a final goodbye the three head off riding in Papyrus's car to the location that they need to be in; the government headquarters. They arrive in style with Papyrus parking in the reserved spot for Frisk. They head inside with Papyrus making sure to lock the car.
A man in a business suit turns to them as they come inside. "Ah. Right on time as usual." He greets with a nod as an extra greeting. "Come. We have quite a bit of paperwork to finish." He leads the way to the usual meeting room where a few other members are waiting.
"Alright lets do this." Sans looks to the paper stacks a bit glad that they aren't too high so this shouldn't take up too many hours.
They settle down as Frisk and Sans work together on the paperwork and Papyrus stands behind them watcing for danger.
Papyrus being Frisks bodyguard kind of came with being Sans's as well. He is very alert and makes sure that the two are safe. He really cares for them after all as he acted pretty much the same way before getting the role, but he just does it more now as it's his job.
The paperwork does take awhile and finally after three hours the three are leaving the building.
"Man that took forever." Frisk stretchers her arms over her head. "Oh hey Undyne."
"Hm?" Sans turns like the others and they see Undyne racing towards them. "Undyne? What's up?"
"I need your help." Undyne explains slightly panting. "Alphys never showed up and I can't find her."
"It's okay well look together Undyne." Papyrus assures her with a confident smile and gleam in his eyes.
Sans turns to Papyrus. "Hey Pap. Can you take Frisk back to Toriel?" He asks in which his brother turns to him. "I can teleport but we still don't know how long it'll take. You know how she worries."
"Yes of course. Then I can help." Papyrus nods and Sans nods back.
"Yeah. After you drop Frisk off call me and I'll update you."
"Sounds like a plan." Papyrus agrees not losing confidence.
"Can I help?"
The three turn to Frisk who had been walking beside Sans holding his sleeve in her left hand.
"Only if Toriel allows it." Sans informs her as she turns to him. "I can't speak for her. Plus who knows what happened. Toriel would kill us if we let you just go into something dangerous."
"But I survived the underground." Frisk tries to reason with a hopeful expression.
"No time for this." Undyne almost snaps becoming impatient.
"Just ask Toriel if you can join." Sans hands Frisk to Papyrus then he heads off walking while Undyne runs.
"Hurry up!" Undyne calls turning to run backwards.
"I'll just teleport. I'll call you if I find anything." Sans disappears with his blue magic being visible for a moment as he teleports.
"Works for me." Undyne turns back around and jumps onto rooftops to get to the main road.
"Come on Frisk." Papyrus takes her hand and they head to his car but Frisk tries to watch where the other two had gone.
