A few days later, Sans and Papyrus took Auttum outside. Papyrus order his brother to watch for humans as he goes and gets his puzzle collaborated. Sans nods as he and Auttum walk to this big purple gate. Sans sat down as Auttum sat next to Sans.
"This is where I do my knock, knock jokes. It's kinda fun to do."
Sans knock on the door, "knock, knock."
Auttum smiles as Sans began to joke himself with some of his own jokes. Sans did that for a while. That is till both were going to be surprised to hear someone answer.
"Knock, knock"
"Who's there" answer a woman's voice.
Sans and Auttum both jump and stare at the door. Sans gulp as he answer.
"Uh… dishes."
"Dishes who?"
Sans look at Auttum then answer, "dishes a very bad joke."
Soon the woman behind the door began to laugh like she had never have heard a good joke for a long time. So with that Sans began to do more and the woman behind the door kept laughing. It went on for over an hour till the woman threw in her own joke.
"Knock, knock"
Sans smiled wide, "Who's there?"
The woman answer, "old lady."
"Old lady who?"
"I didn't know you could yodel."
Sans began to laugh and so the two of them kept on bringing more jokes. Auttum lay down as he listens the two joking with each other. Sans began to notice it was getting late and knew he needed to be home for Papyrus.
"It was great to joke around. But I gotta get back home to my bro."
The woman said, "oh well walk back safely. Tomorrow we do it again?"
Sans laughs, "you know I can't pass a joke like this."
The woman laughs as Sans pick Auttum up and carry Auttum all the way back home.
So every day when Papyrus have Sans go out to look for humans. Sans and Auttum would always go to the big purple door and as always Sans and the woman behind the door would always do their knock-knock jokes.
It has gone on for weeks. Till one day when Sans and Auttum went to the purple door and Sans started to do his knock knock jokes. He notices that by the tone of the woman's voice she wasn't happy and she hardly laughs when he finish his joke.
Sans knew that this wasn't like her at all. He looks at Auttum who too had a concerned look.
So Sans said, "hey uh… I notice you're not really happy today."
The woman sighs, "sorry I'm just not myself today."
Soon the woman began to cry. Sans really now got worried. He hardly knew this woman or who is she but he was worry for her.
"Hey, are you alright?"
The woman sniffle as she spoke tearfully, "door man, can you please, please promise me something?"
Sans likes the idea of her calling him doorman. Yet he wasn't too sure of keeping a promise. He's never really good at doing that. But since this woman was so kind and always full of jokes, well what he got to lose.
"Sure, what is it?"
The woman sighs, "promise me when a human child walks past this door would you keep that child safe. Not let nothing bad happen to them."
Sans was surprised by this idea. He heard of King Asgore taking the humans souls in order to break the barrier. He knew that his brother wants to capture a human and bring a human to Undyne for her to take their soul.
He sighs as he looks at Auttum and spoke, "sure thing, I promise to keep the human safe."
The woman's voice lit up, "oh thank you. Now I know I have someone to trust and keep the child safe."
Sans hated to make promises but since this woman seems so happy for him to keep a human child safe. Then he'll do it. Besides, it would be kinda interesting to get to know a human from the surface.
With that Sans took Auttum back home and Sans kept the idea of promising a woman to keep the child safe a secret. From his brother and from everyone.
If someone heard what Sans just did. They might take Sans as a traitor or even worse he might be thrown into the dungeon.
After supper, Sans went to bed early to get more rest. Papyrus stay up to clean things up. Auttum follows Papyrus outside. Papyrus had a black trash bag in his bony hands. Once Papyrus and Auttum got outside. Papyrus put the trash out by the mailbox so that way the trashman would come and take it tonight.
Auttum got a little curious and began to wonder away from home. Papyrus didn't know Auttum was even outside. So once Papyrus got in, he locks the door up for tonight.
Auttum walks in the woods and right to the same path where he and Sans go to that purple door. With that Auttum walk right towards the purple door and sat there for a moment. As Auttum was getting up, he looks to see the door began to open up. Auttum stops to see someone peeking out.
This person seems to be a goat lady has white fur with brownish golden eyes. She looks around till she spotted Auttum looking at her.
"Oh my," she cried.
She opens the door all the way to reveal her wearing a long purple dress with a big white symbol on her dress. She walk up to Auttum and knelt down. She look at him and she notice a blue collar around his neck with a yellow tag.
"Oh I see you belong to someone."
She look at the tag to see the name "Auttum" on it.
"Auttum?" she thought, "what a cute name. I wonder who you belong to."
The goat lady smiles, "no matter, I'll take you to my home then bring you back when I get you fed."
The goat lady try to pick Auttum up but he began to fight so she drop him.
"Oh you don't like to be pick up. I'm so sorry."
She sighs as she began to walk to the door. She turn to see the cat wasn't following her. The goat lady sighs sadly.
"I suppose you want to return."
She slowly walk to the door and shut the door but not completely. Auttum stood for a moment before went up to the door to see an opening to the inside. So with his curiosity, he went into the door.
Once inside he saw a long purple hallway with purple pillars in a line. So Auttum began to walk down the path. He enjoy being wherever he's at. Auttum walk through the hallway and soon saw the stairs and walk up the stairs.
As he got upstairs he saw a kitchen with a small table and yellow floor. Right next to the kitchen is a living room. The living room was small with a large fireplace at the end not far from a red rocking chair. Auttum likes this place.
He soon heard someone walking up the stairs so Auttum hid behind the rocking chair and waited. He peek out to see that same goat lady began to make something in the kitchen. Auttum began to back up as he ran out of the house.
The front door was wide open for him to get out. So once he got out he ran through the whole place of the Ruins. He didn't stop to see some monsters looking at him strangely. As Auttum stop he heard a child like voice ahead of him.
"Howdy there."
Auttum turn to see this strange yellow flower in front of him. Auttum growl and his eyes turn red. Auttum pounce on the flower and began to tear little bits of pellets off of the flower.
"Ah… let go of me!"
Auttum wouldn't let go till the flower was force to pop back down into the ground. Auttum try to dig down to get a hold of the flower but he couldn't so he just move on.
As Auttum began to feel tired. He saw a dark hallway and decide to rest there. So he lay down and slept on the pavement floor. He stay there for the rest of the night.
