Fear taking over Frisk didn't shake their hand right away but instead started to speak.
"W-Who are you?" Frisk stuttered to ask the figure.
"Don't you know how to greet a new pal?" The figure said.
Frisk sighed and shook the figure's hand.
As Frisk grabbed its hand a joy buzzer went off giving her hand a small harmless shock making her jump a bit.
"Nyeh heh, joy buzzer always funny. The names Papyrus." The figure said and it was as if the area was suddenly lit up and Frisk could now clearly see a skeleton that resembled Papyrus but wearing clothing more fitting of Sans's style.
Frisk looked at him with a confused face."You can't be Papyrus, the Papyrus I know hates jokes and pranks and is louder than you…"
"Nyeh? Me? Hate jokes and be loud? You must be thinking of my brother, Sans. Have you already met him..?" Papyrus questioned.
"Sans? I'm so confused…" Frisk said wondering if she hit her head to hard or something and she was imagining this.
"You aren't from here are you? From this timeline I mean." Papyrus says starting to put the pieces together and figure out what was going on.
"I don't think so." Frisk said.
Papyrus let out a sigh. "I'll cut the comedy then. Seems the roles are reversed in your timeline. Who lives in the ruins? A man?"
Frisk shook her head. "No a lady named Toriel lives in the ruins where I come from."
"Toriel is the queen here. A man lives in the ruins. I go there and we tell jokes from the door."
"Toriel is the queen in my timeline but she ran away after the deaths of her children and after Asgore had made the law that all humans who fell were to be brought to him and killed for their souls…" Frisk explained, frowning a bit from the memories flashing through her mind.
"So Asgore must… hm.." Papyrus nodded understandingly. "And what about the skeletons? You said it's different?"
"Sans is lazy, loves jokes and puns, going to Grillby's, and will do whatever it takes to protect his brother. Then my Papyrus hates puns and jokes, loves puzzles and spaghetti, and he dreams of being in the Royal Guard. Both of them are two of my best friends." Frisk explained more and smiled at the memories she and the brothers shared.
"Heh, I like your Sans, sounds like me. Your Papyrus sounds like my Sans, but he likes tacos. Hmm… Okay who is the royal army… guard… captain?" Papyrus said and continued his questions.
"That would be Undyne." Frisk answered.
"Alphys is the captain in my timeline. Undyne is the royal scientist. Ohh man this is weird." Papyrus said and was finding all the backwards personalities very weird and confusing.
"Can I ask you some questions?" Frisk asked.
"Go ahead kid." Papyrus answered.
"Do you have a flower named Flowey here?" Frisk questioned, wondering how her Flowey was doing.
"A whole village of them. Well one is named Frank, but yeah. It's in Waterfall don't fall for the flower flakes, they're just pieces of white paper." Papyrus explained.
"That sounds like Temmie village in my timeline." Frisk said and giggled a bit at the thought of Flowey with Temmie's personality.
"Temmie… ahh.. So Flowey for you is evil?" Papyrus questioned.
"Well he tries to be but I know he's not really evil." Frisk answered.
"Ah I see.. sort of. Anything else kid?"
"What's you human's name?" Frisk asked wanting to know if there was another her here.
"Chara. What's your name?" Papyrus answered then asked his own question.
"My name is Frisk." Frisk answered finding the thought of herself and Chara switching places weird.
"Different versions of my timeline a human named Frisk kills us all." Papyrus says with his lazy grin still present, but somehow it still felt threatening.
"Oh I know that timeline… the Chara in my timeline is evil at the end of that timeline and it's all my fault…" Frisk started to tear up at the bad memories.
"So you're a Pacifist?" Papyrus questioned.
Frisk wiped her tears and nodded.
"...Shoot kid, don't cry." Papyrus patted Frisk's shoulder. "I'm glad you are, I really don't like giving kiddos bad times."
Frisk impulsively hugs Papyrus. "I don't want a bad time again…"
Papyrus freezes for a moment before patting her back. "I don't either kiddo. Now we have a few options, we can work this out and try to get you back to your timeline or ya can stay here." Papyrus suggested.
"I need to get back before Sans and Toriel have a panic attack…" Frisk said knowing that they were probably worried sick over her.
Papyrus nodded. "Course, do you have any idea how ya got here?" He asked.
"Me and Sans were taking a shortcut to Grillby's and I accidentally let go of his hand and ended up here…" Frisk explained.
"If he's anything like me he… oh no. He's probably trying to use the machine." Papyrus said a bit of concern in his tone.
"You mean the one in the lab behind the house?" Frisk asked as if it were nothing.
"You know about that?!" Papyrus said in shock that Frisk knew about the lab.
"I found the key." Frisk said.
"Does buttfacemcfartsalot ring a bell by any chance?" Papyrus questioned.
Frisk giggled then answered. "Silly code words."
"Nyeh heh! He used the same one I do! Aw man, I'd love to meet your Sans he sounds Sansational heh." Papyrus laughed.
"He is great, you two would get along." Frisk said and smiled at the thought of the two meeting.
"Maybe I can meet him if I can get that machine working." Papyrus held out a hand to Frisk. "Don't let go this time kid." Papyrus warned.
Frisk holds his hand tight. "I won't I promise, who knows where I'd end up if I did." Frisk joked but tightened her grip just encase.
Papyrus nodded then time and space seems to bend and shift around them, leaving them just in front of the skeleton's house. "Alright let-" Papyrus was cut off by a familiar but different voice.
