Chapter 2

A Day at the Park

It was about two days since Toriel and Asgore left for Winters as the skelebros were thinking of someplace to take Frisk while they looked for a dog sitter to take care of Toby their pet dog. "We have to think of something Sans, we can't leave Toby by himself he causes too much trouble on his own and Alphys is too busy with Asriel to come dog sit." "Hmm, have you tried to get in touch with Muffet?" Papyrus shakes his head. "She says she doesn't have time to take care of dogs, she's too busy at her bakery and she knows how much trouble Toby can cause if left unattended to." Sans thinks things over carefully. "Maybe we can try again tomorrow, the kid loves Toby and both of them needs exercise, why not go to the park today and we take turns watching Toby and Frisk." "BRILLIANT IDEA SANS! I THE GREAT PAPYRUS AM SHOCKED THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF IT SOONER!" "You would've gotten there." Sans goes to Frisk's room in the skelebros' house as Sans slowly starts to wake them up. Frisk slowly open their eyes as they smile at Sans. "Morning kiddo, sorry we can't go the Amusement Park or the Zoo today… But Papyrus and I can't seem to find a dog sitter and we thought it'd be better to give you and Toby some exercise, so today we're going to the park. Is that fine with you?" Frisk nods, almost beaming with happiness. "Great, I think Papyrus might be in the middle of waking Toby up so once you get dressed and eat your breakfast we can head out. Okay?" Frisk nods as they get up and start to dig around for something to wear as Sans goes downstairs to help Papyrus fix Frisk an actual breakfast. After Frisk ate Papyrus got the dog leash and Sans grabbed their wallets as they began to walk out to the park. Along the way they saw some familiar faces around town such as the Nice Cream guy all working around town or enjoying their days on the surface. Once they reached the near human filled park tat's when Sans began to get tense and Papyrus was losing his façade. Even now the humans were having trouble accepting monsters into their lives, the kids were a bit more open minded about it but their parents and guardians chalk that up to childhood naivety. Sans and Papyrus could feel the pressure as Frisk knew what they were going through and attempted to say they could go to Grillbies instead to avoid the pressure. "What? No, no kiddo, me and Papyrus are fine, besides we're doing this for you." "That's right Frisk, we're willing to take the prejudice and glares to make you happy." Frisk didn't like this anymore then when they kept quiet about their discomfort. They were lying. They got to a certain point in the park as Sans has agreed to watch Frisk while they played while Papyrus took Toby for a quick walk around the lake. "We'll be back after three laps, after that I'll give him a break by playing with Frisk, then you can have your turn." "Alright bro. See you soon." Papyrus waves goodbye as he and Toby walk off to the lake. Sans returns his attention to Frisk, he was normally too 'bone' tired to normally go play with them, so he opted to sit on the closest bench to watch them. As Frisk played Sans would occasionally catch them with his magic and gently set her down on the ground, over time the moms, dads, and guardians noticed this as they slowly started to back off Sans. Soon Papyrus returns as he hands Sans the leash as Toby runs over and starts to play with Frisk. "Alright sans, it's your go next." Sans nods. "Just be sure not to let Frisk fall if they get onto anything high up… For me I kind of have to use my magic… But if you aren't to tired maybe you can go and play with them, keep them safe by staying with them." "Great idea Sans, if I build up the energy I'll do so." They go to watch Frisk together but shortly after Toby comes back Sans re-leashed him as Sans starts to walk Toby one last time. For the first little while Papyrus watched Frisk from afar, using his magic to help catch them if they fell, but after a short bit he got up and started to play with them, making sure they never got hurt or if they did he applied swift first aid as the humans in the area quickly wised up that the skelebros meant no harm and were acting as guardians to Frisk. However, humans who were just passing by thought Papyrus was trying to steal Frisk from someone to harm them as shortly a few police officers arrived on the scene. "Huh?" "Would you please come with us sir? We need to ask you a few questions." "Why? I haven't done anything wrong have I?" Frisk tightly grabbed hold of Papyrus' leg as the officer noticed this. "No sir, but we need to ask some questions to clarify things if you wouldn't mind." "Of course not, besides I THE GREAT PAPYRUS am always willing to answer questions for fellow guardsmen of the people." Once they heard his name they flinched as they remembered hearing stories of Undyne and Papyrus. "You know what Papyrus, forget the questions, you're free to go." Papyrus smiles and nods. "Thank you! However, if you all are fans I wouldn't mind answering questions after my brother arrives." The officers smiled and nodded as once Sans arrived with Toby Frisk helped Sans watch Toby while Papyrus talked with the officers. Everything was going good until someone attempted to snatch and run off with Frisk. "HEY!" Sans looks to Papyrus. "PAP! SOMEONE'S TRYING TO RUN OFF WITH FRISK!" "WHAT?!" Papyrus looks in the direction of the kidnapper as both skelebros nodded at each other as Papyrus created a fence of bones around the man while Sans used his blue magic to snatch Frisk back before summoning one of his blasters over top the man. "Stay. Hey kiddo, are you alright?" Frisk nods shaking as Sans glares at the man in anger. Knowing Sans would kill the man without a second thought at the mention of the wrong word or phrase, Papyrus approached the human. "Human, explain yourself. Why did you try to run off with Frisk?" "You monsters. You don't deserve to care for a child!" "I'd think abducting a young human would also make you ineligible to care for one." "LIKE YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARING FOR A CHILD!" This hit Papyrus in the wrong way as for the first time, Frisk saw Papyrus' eye glow with anger as Papyrus was ready to kill the man. Frisk quickly ran over and hugged Papyrus, begging him to not hurt the man. Papyrus calmed down as he looked upon the scared face of the human as he lowered the fence but kept a wall of bones in between the human and Frisk. "Go… Before I change my mind." The human runs off as Papyrus walks back to Sans and Toby. "Sans… let's go home." "Sure Papyrus. Anything you want." They go home as they spoke of nothing that happened that day until they got home as Sans called and told Torriel and Asgore everything. He reassured them that Frisk was unharmed and that they could stay in Winters, that they didn't have to come home. However, Sans wonders if that's really the case.

A/N: Hey guys, thanks for reading this chapter. I Would like to ask that you please review this to let me know if maybe you'd like me to do a tone change or do something different for this story. Now I do have some ideas that I will be attempting to set up in later chapters or potentially in another story but until then the story is going to be simple. If you have any questions, please ask me in the reviews or through a message to me. I'll see if I can answer it.
