Note: I don't own Undertale, prior warnings and notes are still in place lol. Thank you for the favorites, it means alot. Now it's time for Sans to show up. Let me know what you guys think.


The moment she was out the door, Frisk immediately was thankful for her sweater and boots but hated her shorts. Her legs were freezing, and it was hard to keep the Flower's words out her mind.

She had power, it wanted it and to make things worse, the little thing had a point. What would she do if faced with a relentless killer? Flowey's echoing cackle made her shudder, going deeper into her thoughts.

"Mommy, what are those?"

"These?" The woman smiled. "Golden flowers, only our town has these. They said a long time ago; a monster came through the town with a girl in his arms and laid her on the bed of flowers with tears in his eyes."

"Why was he crying?" Frisk's brows furrowed.

"Because people can be cruel, baby...very cruel."

SNAP!

Frisk stiffened, looking back and around her. Only seeing trees until she glanced at a bush and crouched down seeing a camera.

Is... someone watching me?

She backed away, looking around again then walking faster until at a bridge with something around it. She wondered if it was supposed to stop someone, but the space looked too wide.

"Human." Frisk felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up at the sound of a deep voice behind her. "Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand."

Frisk continued staring in front of her, questioning the word pal and thinking of taking off in a run. If this monster had magic like Toriel's, running wouldn't help her much. She turned slowly, putting up a hand with her head down and her eyes glancing up.

A gloved hand clasped in her own, and she looked up in surprise at the sound of a loud fart. Her cheeks heated up as she looked at the monster in front of her, a skeleton that was only a few inches taller than her in a blue parka, basketball shorts, and pink slippers.

The skeleton laughed, and Frisk took her hand back, feeling sure that her whole face was red now. "heh. the joke never gets old. am i right?" The skeleton grinned, though Frisk was starting to think it was a permanent thing. "you're a human, right?" Frisk gave a short nod as the skeleton laughed more. "that's cool. i'm sans. sans the skeleton."

His grin grew more if possible. "i guess i'm supposed to be capturin' ya, with the whole sentry thing, but y'know i don't feel like capturing anybody." He gave a light shrug, and Frisk breathed in relief. "my brother, papyrus, though...he REALLY wants to capture a human."

Frisk watched the penlights, that were Sans eyes, look beyond her a moment and he chuckled. "you might want to go on through, i can already see him coming. no worries, kid. you can go ahead through, i got ya back."

Frisk took a long look at the smiling skeleton. She thought of her options, and nothing came, turning back around she walked through the opening of the barricade with Sans following her.
"over there."

She looked back to see him pointing to a conveniently shaped lamp, the sound of other footsteps came to her ears, and she ran behind it. Staying still.

It wasn't long before she saw a much taller skeleton come into view. Papyrus had on some type of battle gear with a cape behind it, Frisk caught her breath as fear spread through her. She would be as good as dead if this skeleton found her.

"sup bro."

"YOU KNOW WHAT'S "SUP" BROTHER!"

Frisk rose a brow, looking again at the skeleton that was glaring at Sans, the sight was comical as she saw Sans with his hands in his pockets.

"WHAT HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN DOING? HAVE YOU LOOKED OVER YOUR PUZZLES YET!"

"but bro, i've done plenty of work today. a skele-ton" Sans chuckled, and Frisk put a hand over her mouth to not laugh. Papyrus looked less than amused.

"WHAT WORK? IT'S BEEN EIGHT DAYS SINCE YOU RECALIBRATED YOUR PUZZLES!"

"oh. just looking at this lamp. wanna see?" Sans grin was larger, and Frisk frowned, her eyes searching for a new spot. "it's really cool."

"NO!" Papyrus stomped his foot repeatedly to the ground, and Frisk was surprised at the way the skeleton folded his arms, somehow pouting without lips. "I HAVE TO BE READY IF A HUMAN COMES! I WANT TO BE IN THE ROYAL GUARD! I HAVE TO BE!"

"and you will bro. no bones about it." Sans laughed, and Papyrus gave Sans a look that Frisk wondered was the shorter brother was used to.

"AND…" Papyrus cleared his throat, posing as his cape flapped in the wind with Frisk wondering where did the wind even come from. "I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL FINALLY GET MY DREAM OF BEING IN THE ROYAL GUARD! AND THEN..." Papyrus's grin widened. "PEOPLE WILL WANT TO BE MY FRIEND!"

Frisk looked at Papyrus in surprise, caught in her own thoughts as Sans talked to Papyrus.

He only wants a friend...Toriel doesn't want to be alone…

She looked at Sans, wondering what it was he wanted. Sans pointed out the lamp again which only sent Papyrus into another tantrum that Frisk was starting to find adorable. It was hard to picture Papyrus being someone who wanted to be in the guard. If guards were like the ones back in her town, it was even more difficult to believe.

She held the tome to her, her fingers brushing over spine and then the cover before returning it to the bag. "I wonder if mom will like i-"

A shot rang out, and Frisk froze in place, the sound of everyone running. People talking among themselves before she snapped out of it to follow.

"Another one trying to escape?" A man spoke to another, keeping his voice low.

"Yeah, supposed to be some secret town close by. Least that's where people say they're hiding." The other replied. "You'd think by now they'd get it. You don't escape Eris..."

Frisk stopped paying attention to the conversation when she saw it. The sight of a guard dragging a body, leaving a trail of blood behind it.

"hey. hey…" Frisk jumped, feeling a hand on her and she looked up at Sans, his grin faltered, and she wondered had that been concern.

Before she could question it further, the grin was back in place at its usual width. "wasn't trying to make you come out your skin or nothing, but you might wanna get going before my bro comes back." he laughed and Frisk found herself looking at the ground. "unless you really wanted to go through my jokes again. i am quite humerus."

Frisk felt a smile trying to form as she hid behind her around, she passed by what she guessed was a sentry station. She could see condiment bottles around it, but mostly ketchup.

"actually…" Frisk paused and looked back at Sans. "tibia honest i was wondering if you could meet my brother. i'm worried about him. i want him smiling, y'know? i think it'd make him really happy seeing ya."

Frisk thought about it and gave a nod, but paused at the memory of Papyrus wanting to be a guard.

"something wrong?"

Frisk looked down and shook her head. Her feet still not moving.

"he's not dangerous or nothing...he tries, but that's not paps." he chuckled. "i'll be up ahead, too."

Frisk thought about it longer, at the mention of Sans being up ahead as well she felt a bit of comfort. He wasn't leaving her alone. She thought again about Papyrus, and what he said earlier, her feet were already moving with the determination to make a new friend.

"oh and…"

Frisk looked back again.

"thanks a million." Sans turned to leave, and Frisk felt another smile threatening to spill.
