'Something about this kid, this whole run even, is... different,' thought Sans. He looked down at the kid who was mumbling something to themselves. He couldn't hear what they said, no matter how hard he tried. "What was that?" he said as kindly as he could. It was hard being nice to somebody whom you distinctly remember killing everyone you loved.

"Hm? Oh, Sans! Haha," the kid laughed. "I'm talking to Chara."

Sans' eye glowed blue for a second and he stopped walking.

"C-Chara? Isn't that..." He had known of Chara for a long time. Flash backs of the last timeline danced through his mind. He was about to summon his bones but instead relaxed and said, "Nah, it's nothing kid."

Frisk was being nice so he decided it was best to make it last. They continued walking until they arrived at Grillbys. He beckoned for Frisk to go in first.

"Thanks Sans," said Frisk, and Sans followed them inside. They sat down and ordered two trays of fries. Grillby nodded and went round back to make the food.

"What the hell?" said Sans as soon as Grillby left the room. The building was now empty besides Sans, Frisk and Chara. "What's your deal kid?" Sans looked like he was going to cry.

"Stay calm Frisk," whispered Chara. "Don't say anything that could upset him." Frisk nodded slightly. Sans stopped.

"You're... different." Frisk nodded sadly. Sans continued, "Why though? Why would you do this? Why?!"

Sans was actually crying now. Shiny baby blue tears fell down his cheeks at these memories.

"I..." Frisk started. "I fell in love." The room fell silent. Frisk heard Chara gasp from behind them.

"You... fell in love?" Sans asked. A nod. Sans looked shocked.

"Chara," Frisk said quietly. "I fell in love with Chara and could only see them after... doing that..." Frisk balled their fists and their face went pink.

"But what about the ones I love. You killed them for your own-" Frisk cut him off.

"I know!" They looked down and tried not to cry. "I know! I was selfish and you have every reason to hate me for it."

Chara badly wanted to comfort them, but they were incorporeal. So instead they just told them. "Don't cry, I... love you too."

Sans put his hand on Frisk's knee. "You don't have to cry. I would have done the same if it were Papyrus. What you did was unforgivable, but I would have done the same. So if you make it up to us, I won't hate you."

Frisk nodded and hugged him. "I promise I will," they told him.

Grillby came out with their trays of food.

"Bone appetite." Sans said with his usual smile.

"Bone appetite," replied Frisk.

Chara was beaming. They had done it.

Papyrus let them stay the night on the couch before they set off the next morning.

"GOODBYE HUMAN."

"See ya kid." Sans closed the door and they headed off to Waterfall.

"Well done Frisk," Chara exclaimed. Both kids were in a good mood, due to the fact that no one was dead, and Sans had forgiven them.

Frisk skipped through Waterfall until they came across the statue. Frisk opened the pink umbrella they had collected from the other room.

"Chara? You can do it."

Chara took over Frisk's body for a moment and put the umbrella on the statue, shielding it from the rain. Chara unpossessed them and they both lay down on the floor. Memory began to play. This song meant a lot to Chara because it reminded them of their brother, Asriel. They both fell asleep listening to the soft tune.

"Why?" whispered Flowey popping up from the ground behind them. "Why now?" he whispered again. "Chara? Are you there?" No answer. "Guess you're sleeping, too. Well, I'll let you be." He popped back into the ground without another word.
