Well the first review was...entertaining? Odd? Heh, well on too the next chapter! Time for some Skelebors! Also writing bad puns is actually harder than it seems sometimes lol so forgive Sans for not being very 'punny' sometimes lol
Chapter 2: The Great Skelebros!
Frisk flinched as dim light met her eyes after emerging from the cave. "Wow..." Trees grew in lines all around her, snow covering the ground beneath her feet. "It's so chilly here." She walked slowly through the woods, following the only path before her. "This is amazing though! All these trees growing down here? Is this even remotely possible?" As she walked along, she was unaware of being followed by a figure from behind.
So...this is the human? He thought, blue eyes glowing in the dark. Heh...this oughta be good. As he walked behind her silently he stepped on a branch and hid. Oops!
"Hmm? Is...is someone else there?" She called, fear evident in her tone. He observed as she took a few steps back but then turned around and continued on.
Brave little thing, I'll give her that. He thought with a smirk. He continued on until she came to a stop at a bridge.
"A fence? Is it really ok for me to cross?" She wondered out loud as he approched her.
"Hey, human." She flinched and stood perfectly still. "Isn;t it polite to turn around and greet someone?" She slowly turned, the shadows covering him from her view. "Here, take my hand." He held out his left hand in greeting and she slowly took it. A loud, deflated noise filled the air before he started to laugh.
"H-huh?!"
"Ah, the whoopie cushion handshake...classic!" He laughed, stepping out of the shadows. The monster before her was a skeleton, sharp blue eyes gazing at her from large sockets. He wore a blue hoodie jacket, gray fur cuffed around the hood. He wore black jersey shorts with a white stripe on each side, pink slippers covering gray socks. "It's nice to meet you human. I'm Sans. Sans the skeleton." He smiled and winked an eye at her. "And you are?"
"H-heh..."
"Hmm?"
"Hahahaha! That was funny!" She laughed. "Hee hee!"
She...she's actually laughing?
"I-I'm Frisk!" She smiled happily. "It's nice to meet you too, Sans!" She sighed with relief and brushed her hair from her blue eyes. "I'm sorry...I was just so nervous that your joke really helped."
"O-oh. Well good thing I suppose." He looked into her eyes and she blinked curiously. "Seems like you're a good sort. You haven't killed anyone."
"Killed?! No way!" She flinched at the thought. "Why would I do that? I-"
"BROTHER!" Sans sighed and scrtached his head. "WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"Oh boy...he's here." Sans sighed and looked at the girl with a wink. "Follow me, alright?" He took her hand and guided her through the large gate on the bridge. "Yeah he made it too wide. He needs to broaden his perspectives a bit, no?"
"Hee hee..." Frisk giggled softly. Sans pushed her behind a lamp sitting on the ground. "U-umm why is this here?" She asked.
"Just for convinenience." He shrugged. "Now stay still and be quiet alright?" Frisk nodded and waited behind the lamp.
Sans watched as his brother rushed up to him, kicking up snow as he went. Sure know how to make an entrance, eh brother? He thought with a smirk. "What's up little bro?"
"SANS! This is no time for jokes! What if a human comes through here right now? You haven't calibrated your puzzles even!" He scolded. Frisk could see the taller skeleton from her position. He wore a white shirt with red scarf flowing behind him and red boots to match. He had a larger bottom jaw than his brother, and was clearly louder. "I said three times a week Sans. THREE! NOT ONCE A MONTH!"
"Sorry bro. But you see...I'm a little bone weary." He smirked and winked at the human girl, making her giggle quietly.
"SANS! STOP THE JOKES!" Papyrus stomped the ground angrily.
"You were smiling."
"I KNOW! And I HATE IT!" He replied and folded his arms across his chest. "How am I, The Great Papyrus supposed to join the Royal Guard if I can;t even capture ONE HUMAN?!"
"Maybe this lamp could help?" Sans gestured to the lamp and Frisk flinched a bit.
"It will NOT!"
"How do you know? It's a pretty sweet lamp, no?"
"NO!" Papyrus huffed and continued to stomp the ground angrily. "C'mon Sans! Help your brother out here!"
"Hmm...maybe if you throw me a bone."
"Hee-" Frisk covered her mouth as she stiflied her laugh.
"What was that?"
"Me." Sans shrugged. "Better hurry bro. Maybe a human will fall into one of your traps if you're not there?"
"You're RIGHT! I will show YOU brother! I will catch the human, and I will!Be!POPULAR!" He cheered and ran back down the path. Sans sighed and walked to Frisk as she started laughing.
"You alright?"
"You're so funny Sans!" She smiled happily. "Your brother too. Can I meet him?"
"I don't-" He blinked and smiled. "You know what? Sure. He's harmless...almost. I'm sure you'd make his day."
"Really?!" Frisk beamed happily and took Sans hand. Sans flinched and pulled his hand away. Frisk moved back a little. "S-sorry."
"Nah it's cool kid. I just...don't like being held like that is all." He said and walked away, Frisk following along. Strange...she's oddly warm. He thought, looking at his own hand. So then why did I suddenly...feel such a chill?
"Alright, so you wait right here. I'll find Papyrus." Sans said, leaving Frisk standing near a rock.
"Ok!" She smiled and watched him walk off. She sat on the path and hummed to herself. "He's real nice, isn't he?" She said to herself, slowly making a small snow sculptor. Once done, it took the shape of a little white dog. "Snow dog." She smiled gently when a shadow appeared behind her. "Huh?"
"Woof?" She blinked as a dog stood in full armor behind her. "Woof!"
"Hi?" She stood up and pet the dog as it got closer. "Umm...are you a guard? Sans told me to wait here so-" She laughed as she was licked suddenly and pet him again. She blinked when it's neck extended slightly. "U-umm...is that normal?"
"Woof woof!" His tail wagged as she pet him again, neck growing every time. Before his neck got too long, a snapping twig sounded and he ran off.
"Umm, bye!" She waved as he ran off, armor clinking in the empty space. "What a weird dog."
"SANS! IS THAT A HUMAN?!" Frisk turned around quickly and looked at the two brothers. She waved but he didn't seem to be looking at her.
"Bro...that's a rock."
Really?! He was looking at the rock?!
"Now what about the one in front of the rock Papyrus?" Sans sighed, rubbing his forehead. Papyrus blinked and backed a bit.
"Psst, Sans? Is THAT a human?!"
"Yes."
"OH MY GOD!" Papyrus cleared his throat and stood tall. "HUMAN! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS! WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PASS!"
"U-umm I-"
"MY PUZZLES WILL STOP YOU AND I WILL CAPTURE YOU!" He said triumphantly and Sans simply smiled. "Nye-heh-heh!" Frisk and Sans watched him run off and she blinked.
"Well you certainly made his day." Sans chuckled, walking back to Frisk with a wink. "He was snow happy." Frisk smiled and began walking further down the path.
"C'mon Sans! I wanna see his puzzles!" She cheered happily. "This is so much fun! I'm not scared at all anymore!"
"You were scared?"
"Well...yes." She admitted, stopping briefly. "I woke up here and was attacked by someone I thought was helping me out...then Toriel took me in. But I left her because I wanted to go home." She touched her small bracelet gently. "Should I have left her? She must be so lonely." A hand patted her back and she turned to see Sans wink.
"I'm sure she just wanted wwhat was best for you is all kid. At the very least, I'll make sure you get to Snowdin in one piece, ok?" Frisk nodded and followed him a little closer. "Cold?"
"A-a bit." She admitted, but stayed a small distance from Sans. "Umm, can I-" She turned to see he had vanished. "Sans?" She stopped suddenly when she saw Papyrus standing across a large snow plain with Sans standing next to him.
"HUMAN! This is your FIRST puzzle!" Papyrus shouted. "Along this plain is an electircal puzzle! If you run into one of it's invisible walls, this orb will send a shock through your whole body!" He held out a small blue orb and Sans smirked a little, winking at Frisk. "Go on ahead...IF YOU DARE HUMAN!"
Wait...but he has it...and... Frisk giggled a little and took a step forward. Papyrus jolted and bounced around suddenly and she laughed. Yup...thought so!
"OW! Why was I shocked?!" He turned and stomped his foot at Sans. "SANS! DID YOU DO THIS?!"
"No bro. I think she's supposed to be holding it for this to work." He chuckled.
"Ah, right!" Frisk watched as Papyrus walked over to her.
He went through his own puzzle?! She blinked. He gave her the orb and went back the exact same way. Well...no use playing dumb. She followed his exact steps until she reached the other side, giving the orb back. "That was fun! Any more?"
"Hmm, perhaps that was TOO simple! I WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME HUMAN!" She watched him dart off again and she chuckled.
"Yup, you've certainly made his day...it must be a shocking experience for him." Sans grinned.
"Hahahaha!"
As Frisk followed Sans he stopped at an outpost. "Heh, watch this kid." He moved behind the post and rang the bell. A dog slowly peered out of it, looking around.
"What? Who's there?! You know I can't see you if you're still!" The dog huffed, smoking something from his mouth.
A...dog treat? Frisk smiled a little when Sans gestured for her to follow him. She also hid and rang the bell.
"Ok. Which two of you is doing this today?!" The dog snapped, feeling annoyed. Frisk pet his head and he began to freak out. "What?! Who pet me?! Pet pat pot pet?!" Frisk giggled and walked out to pet him again. "A-a human?"
"Yup. I'm Frisk. It's nice to meet you Mr. Doggo." She bowed her head polietly and pet him again. "You're fluffy."
"Alright kid, quit messing with him and let's go." Sans called to her and she followed along. She let out a small sneeze and rubbed her sleeve. "Still cold?"
"Y-yeah..." She rubbed her eyes and Sans was gone again. How does he do that? Magic? He was by Papyrus as she walked up, a scrap of paper on the ground.
"NOW HUMAN! PREPARE TO FACE SA-" He stopped when he saw the paper. "SANS! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!"
"My puzzle. Don't worry she won't solve it." Sans said and Frisk couldn't stop a scowl from creasing on her forehead.
Is he with me or against me here? She thought and picked it up. "Th-this is...a crossword?" Sure enough, it was a simple children's crossword. She sat down and finished it quickly, handing it to Papyrus. Papyrus and Sans stared at it for a moment before he threw the paper aside.
"SANS! That didn't do anything!"
"Oops. I should have given her today's crossword instead."
"CROSSWORDS?!" Papyrus yelled at his brother, Sans just shrugging.
"What, crosswords are hard."
"No they are NOT! Junior Jumble is MUCH harder!" Papyrus huffed and Sans shook his head.
"That little word jumble? That's for baby bones." He sighed.
"HUMAN! SOLVE THIS DILEMA FOR US!" Papyrus asked Frisk and she smiled a little.
"Actually...I agree with Papyrus." She said. "Those word jumbles give me a lot of trouble too."
"AHA! SEE SANS?!" He smirked. "Humans must be intelligent to understand how hard the word jumble is!" He cheered and ran off. Frisk just stared, blinking her big eyes.
"Thanks for agreeing with him and going through these silly puzzles." Sans said, nudging her playfully.
"No problem. I'm having fun! And I wasn't lying either...I find them hard!"
"Sure thing kid."
Just outside of Snowdin Town, Frisk saw Papyrus sitting on a rock and she walked up. "What's wrong Papyrus?"
"I'm supposed to be CAPTURING a human! So I can join the Royal Guard..." He sighed. "But you're so nice! And you haven't tried to hurt me or Sans...or anyone!" He jumped when she climbed into his lap and smiled.
"You can do it Papyrus! If it helps...you can capture me now!" She smiled warmly and he rubbed his eyes.
"NO! That would be impolite!" He refused, Sans watching from a distance. "Besides you're so nice..."
"Then how about this? I'll be your friend!" She smiled. "Is that ok?"
"You'd...be friends with the great Papyrus?" She nodded and he smiled. "I! AM! MOVED!" He beamed and she laughed as he picked her up and jumped around. "I ACCEPT THIS!"
"Yay!" She laughed as he spun her around and Sans shook his head.
Somtimes i worry about you brother. You're a little too trusting...He thought. But she hasn't shown even a hint of hostility. Either because she's a child or just very friendly. He watched them walk towards Snowdin Town, hand in hand. He looked at his own and flinched a bit. This is just hilarious.
"C'mon Sans!"
"YES! WE ARE GOING HOME TODAY SANS!" Papyrus called and Sans smirked.
"Alright, I'm coming." He said and slowly made his way to the two. Don't worry Toriel. I'll keep a close eye on her, you can count on it.
A figure watched from the shadows, a grin on his face. "The pieces are in moton...the pawn has taken a step." He said to himself. "Let's see what you'll do...Sans."
Chapter 2 end
*Tales from the Underground~!*
(on the way to Toriel's place.)
Frisk: Hiya! My name's Frisk...yours?
Napstablook: Umm...Napstablook.
Frisk: What a fun name! Toriel said she's come back soon, so can I sit with you?
Napstablook: Sure.
*Frisk lays down*
Napstablook: You're really nice. I usually come down here to hide...but you're nice.
Frisk: So are you. I hope we can be friends. *looks to her left.* Aww he left...
Whew and now the bros are in this! I plan on having them both in this quite a lot. Now before complaints happen, no Sans won't speak in lower case lol Sorry but my grammer self won't allow for that muc lol. Also, yes, Sans is kinda an ass, but he has his reasons, I promise. :3
Also I thought, for some fun and to add a little more I'd do these small 'Tales from the Underground segements every once and awhile. Just to add some more that could ruin the pace of a chapter. Also, please review and fave...or Papyrus will make me solve more puzzles. D:
