~now on with the show Darlings! ~
Sans Pov.

It was a pretty long car ride to the city Undyne and Alphys lived in, it was a city built by monsters and humans with magic. Why I didn't move there with Frisk and pap in the beginning? I glanced over at frisk then over at Shell. She was sound asleep, the bruise on her cheek had turned purple and her lip finally stopped bleeding. I clenched a fist. This crazy woman risked her job. Her life! Just to help him to help Frisk. He owed her big.
"Penny for your thoughts there Bone Daddy?" I blinked and saw she was awake now and looking at me with a smirk. Nice a Nightmare before Christmas reference.

*I'm fine. Just…go back to sleep.* I smiled at her. She didn't need to worry about me.
"Not really that tired right now." She said with a laugh. Shell shook her head and looked at the sky brushing her hair back with her right hand since Frisk had claim on the left. "You know, when you guys first came to the surface….It was the best day of my life. The world was finally as weird as me. I felt…at home! After years of being the odd one out…I finally fit in. I wasn't alone any more. So when I first met frisk last year, I saw a part me. That part that wanted to be with friends, family to have everyone smiling around her. When she came the first time to the office after a kid pushed her off a swing and her knee was scraped up…I won't lie I went off on the teachers in charge of the recess for not doing their jobs properly. The whole school I think heard me, and it was that time I decided I was going to look after Frisk. When the principle, He's a great guy by the way he was thrilled to let monster students join the school, heard about my…tantrum he came to offer me the vice principle position. But I turned him down, I was trained as a nurse, I had no educational experience at all. Plus scrubs are comfortable. He accepted my no."
I stared at her as she continued on eye sockets wide.
"So I stayed a nurse….apart of me wonders sometimes if I should have taken the job. Then that crazy biddy would not of…" she looked down at the hand Frisk had a hold of. "But then…I might not be here with you guys. And that thought….scares the life out of me. Not sure why….but….it does."
I rubbed the back of my head, not sure what to say. *if you don't mind my asking where is the principle?*
"His mother passed away a week ago and his father…is fading fast since the funeral so he is trying to help his dad right now."
*yikes. He is definitely having a bad time. But seriously Shell. Get some more sleep.* She gave a huff and pouted but did listen this time but not before saying "you're lucky your adorable sans or I would not listen to you."
I could feel the blush hit hard and looked ahead to see paps smirking in the rear view mirror having heard the exchange. *shut up paps.* I grumbled trying to hide the blush by looking to the left.
As some time passed paps pulled into a rest stop for a bathroom run for everyone and to find snacks for something to eat. I walked around with frisk a little bit to stretch our legs.
"Papa sans?" She asked looking up at me. "Can I ask you something?"
*anything kiddo.*
"Do you think Shell would mind if I called her Mama Shell?" she asked me. I froze up and began to blush again. Sweating a bit nervous at what frisk was possibly hinting at *well if ya want to kiddo, I am sure she would not mind….you'd…..you'd have to ask her though. Heh heh*
Frisk gave a small nod. "Ok"
Soon we were back at the car and saw Paps scolding Shell who was giving him a weak smile and trying to calm him down.
"I know I know I should have told you guys but really its ok. Nothings broken just bruised." Paps gave her a stern look and crossed his arms. "NOT ACCEPTABLE!"
"But we didn't have time to deal with it we had to get out of there…" she countered before noticing I was there with Frisk. Both of us had the 'we agree with paps face' "And I am in biiiiig trouble."
*you got no idea how big missy.* I said walking up to her. "Paps Explain now."
"SHE HAS BRUISED RIBS FROM HER ORDEAL WITH THE VICE Principle." Paps said with a frown. "I WAS JUST DONE SOCLDING HER. I SHALL TAKE FRISK TO GET SNACKS WHILST YOU DO SO NOW!"
*don't get too far off ok.* I sighed as frisk ran off with her Uncle and looked over at Shell. *how many?"
"How many what?" she asked trying to look innocent.
*Ribs. How many are hurt.* I countered with a scowl.
"Three…maybe five? Its ok really, it is not the worst thing that happened from the fight." she blinked realizing what she had said and clamed up.
Worse? What had she done in the past that could have been worse?!
*that's it I am getting the first aid kit. You are sitting down and getting checked over. No buts.* I said sternly making her sit down on a nearby bench.
I grabbed the kit and made her remove the scrub top and fought a blush as she was sitting in just scrubs pants and a tan tank top now. I gulped and saw cuts and more bruises. She looked like a really big cat got ahold of her. *shit…why didn't you say anything?!*
"Didn't want to worry you guys." She muttered as I got the iodine out and a cotton ball. *well your plan did not work out.* I put the ball on a cut and she hissed from the stinging. It took about ten minutes to get her cleaned up and another ten to see to her ribs. * Our friend Alphys will have to look at them later, she's better with medical stuff then me.*
"Well as a nurse I say you did a heal nice job with it." She joked while pulling her scrub top back on with a wince.
I chuckled * well, with a kid I had a Skele-TON of practice with Band-Aids. I Patella you frisk gets into some odd scrapes. She loves the outdoors.*
"Tibia honest with you I believe you." Shell giggled wincing from the pain laughing brought. "Ergh enough puns. They cause pain..."
*right sorry, so quick question why do you have a tattoo of a Butterfly surrounded by stars on your right shoulder?* I asked curious about it since I saw it while fixing her up.
Shell went bright red "ah well that is…well you see It was the first thing I did when I moved out of my parents place and….I like butterflies…and stars? "
I smile and shook my head. She was certainly something. I reached to hold her hand when…
"BROTHER WE RETURN WITH SNACKS!"
Oh well. *cool bro! Well we better get going then.* I helped Shell up and we went on with the trip.
~tiny time skip brought to you by Frisk plotting a ship~

*I know your still awake shell.* I muttered watching trees go by.
"Not sleeping till you do." She returned looking over at me. "I can tell you haven't had a wink since this whole mess started this morning." She was right, I was tired but there was no way I was going to sleep. Not till I was sure we were all safe. * Nah. It's ok*
"Sans…"
*Shell…*
"Knock. Knock"
*who's there?*
"Banana."
*Banana who?*
"Knock knock"
Ah that one meh I'd humor her... *who's there?*
"Banana."
This went on for a good bit I could see paps getting annoyed.
"Knock knock."
*who's there?*
"HOI I'M TeMMie."
I blinked and started laughing. I did not expect that.
"Yeah a temmie I met told me that one." Shell chuckled with a shrug.
"WHY ME?!" Paps groaned as he focused on driving.
*you are smiling paps.* I pointed out shaking my head.
"AND I HATE IT!"
This got us both laughing and shell gasping after words from the pain. "W...worth it, so worth it!"
*ok no more joke till you are healed Shell.* I said while checking on Frisk.
"Sure thing Bone daddy." Was her reply and I blushed. "Are you blushing? Its blue aww that is cute!"
I froze up. The blush growing. *A…am not! I'm a skeleton I'm spooky.*
"A spooky cute skeleton then."
I groaned hiding in my jacket hood.
"…..look I'm sorry. It's just I did not expect to see a skeleton blush…..ya know back in high school my friends would always mess with my hair and pet the top of my head. The result, I would purr then fall asleep."
I peeked out of the hoodie. * Seriously? You purr?*
"Only if head pats occur. Now it was prom and I was slow dancing with my crush at the time when my friends snuck up and struck. Needless to say the whole school saw. Mortified but plus side teachers would let me wear hats to prevent that. "
*yikes. But it still can be done?* I asked curious.
"Not sure haven't been around my old friends in a long while. Had a falling out over a guy with one, lost touch with the rest…" Shell shrugged.
When I was sure she wasn't paying attention I reached over and began to gently scratch the top of her head. Lo and behold, she began to purr. I blinked and chuckled as she began to blush.
"I regret telling you this." She muttered before falling asleep.
*well now I know how to get her to sleep.* I looked ahead and saw paps giving me an odd look. *what paps?*
"YOU LIKE HER BROTHER."
*why…what? Nah. I was just curious….that is all.*
"THEN WHY HAVENT YOU STOPPED PETTING HER HEAD?"
*pap I will start making puns.*
"YOU Will WAKE HER UP."
*Paps. Seriously shut up.*
I could feel him grinning as I brought my hand back to my side and stared at the world passing us by as we drove. Stupid brother.
~time hop ~
Normal pov.
The four finally reached Undyne and Aphy's just as the sun started to set. Papyrus parked and got out to start getting their luggage. Sans got Frisk up then got out to wake and help shell out of the car.
He waved at Undyne and Alphys as they walked over to help papyrus, Undyne spotted shell and loomed over her "Who's she?"
* She helped me save risk from a crazy lady.* his left eye gave off a blue glow. *be nice.*
"Shell Valiant, was Frisk's school nurse." She gave a polite smile as Undyne looked her over then gave a well-meaning back smack.
"Nice to meet you, any friend of the bros and Frisk is a friend of mine." Undyne said as Shell sank to the ground with a wheeze.
"Tch…..thank you…oh…god…ow….so ow."
*shell!?* Sans knelt by her. * You ok?*
"Y…yes…I am just going to lay here for a moment." She replied with a smile.
"I didn't think it was that hard…." Undyne said with a slight panic.
"NOT YOUR FAULT UNDYNE SHE WAS HURT FIGHTING THE AFORE MENTIONED CRAZY LADY" Papyrus supplied carrying some luggage over. "HER RIBS ARE BRUISED…YOU MAY HAVE HIT ONE"
"Then we need to get her inside to rest!" Alphys stated with a worried look. "This way please!"
Sans nodded and picked Shell up bridle style. Much to her protest that she could walk.
*nope. Not risking it. * He said sternly silencing her as they headed inside.
Alphys looked at Pap and Frisk after sans passed by her to enter the home. They gave her a small nod and she grinned. "Ahhh I see…." she muttered.
Soon everyone was settled, while shell was confined to the couch.
Frisk studied her dad and Shell for a moment and got a plan, a sneaky plan. "Uncle Pap, Aunt Undyne! Let's go make breakfast for dinner!"
Alphys stood up "I will go and set the guest rooms up!"
"Sans you keep an eye on shell!" Undyne stated following pap and Frisk as Alphys took off upstairs.
Sans sighed and looked over at a now napping shell and sat by her slowly falling asleep himself.
Papyrus came to ask what sans would like for his breakfast dinner and gasped seeing a cute scene.
Sans was holding Shell while she used him as a pillow as they slept. He hurried back into the kitchen and pulled frisk and Undyne to the living room and make the ahhh sign.
Undyne bit her lip to keep from laughing. Frisk was bouncing happily, and Alphys was looking in from a hall way eyes sparkling and texted them all 'OMG just like in kissy kissy mew mew episode fifty five where*insert long synopsis here*'
Sans Smiled in his sleep and hugged Shell closer.
~in Dreamy Sans land~
The setting was a park and Frisk was out chasing the butterflies while Shell sat by him watching her. He gently held her hand and smiled. Shell gave a small smirk and kissed sans then ran off to join frisk, leaving him blushing and chasing her, he tackled her into the grass, laughing with her and smiled as frisk joined the huggy pile. Shell giggle and kissed him were his noes would be.
~wakening world~
Sans woke blushing lightly and looked around once before his gaze landed on him Holding shell. His blush spread till his whole head was a bright blue. She snuggled closer muttering "nuuu….that's…my…pocky….give it….back….Saaaaannnnnssss" and followed that with random sleep mumbles.
"Oh. Gosh that's…too…adorable." Came Undyne's voice from behind the couch looking at the two. "Foods ready, want me to bring your plates out here? Since you are busy being a pillow and everything..."
*Undyne. I will fry you alive if you tell anyone about this…* sans began as the fish woman walked to the kitchen "oh too late for that, we already saw."
Sans sighed with an angry growl. They were not about to let him live this down. Ever. He looked back down at shell. *you are making it hard to look tough.*
"Hmm?" Shell yawned and looked around before seeing what she was laying on was sans. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" she tried to sit up but winced.
Sans helped her sit up and shook his head * it's ok really, and you need to stop forgetting you have bruised ribs.*
"Y...Yeah…right…hahaha…" shell scooted to one end of the couch bright red as sans got up to go get her a plate

When frisk walked in with a plate of bacon and eggs in a smiley face while she wore an apron that said "I'm Eggs-cellent" on it.
Shell hid her face in a pillow and fell back down on the couch mumbling "too cute. I die."
"Oh no! What ever will we do! We must save her!" Frisk exclaimed "who will be the hero!"
*leave it to me!" Sans scooped Shell up and held her bridal style as she tried to keep from laughing. Her amusement turned to shock when he planted a kiss on the lips. Her eyes shot open and cheeks went to the color beyond the red of ketchup.
"Huzzah the hero saved the day!" Frisk cheered.
Soon everyone was having a living room breakfast picnic having a good time talking when pap said a thing….
"SO BROTHER DOES THIS MEAN YOU AND SHELL ARE A COUPLE?"
Sans froze with a forkful of eggs to his mouth. * Pap I will duct tape your mouth shut...*
"THAT WASN'T A NO. AND IVE HIDDEN IT"
*I will find it. Pap, I mean it.*
"STILL NOT A NO."
The shorter skeleton stood up and walked off to find duct tape while Shell blushed a bit. "Personally I would not mind it…" she muttered to herself not aware Frisk heard her.
Frisk grinned, her plan was working!
Sans returned and used the entire roll of duct tape on papyrus. A muffled "Still not a no" was his response.
This caused sans to hide in his coat hood and to pull the draw strings closed. *hrrrnnnn Pap seriously?!*
"Sans its ok, I thought it was cute." Shell shared setting her plate aside. "No need to Clam up on us…"
*Not a clam. Still not cute either.* he mumbled.
"Sans come on out of there. Or I will let Frisk eat your bacon." Shell coached with a smirk having scooted close to in front of him with a sneaky smile to get him back for the kiss he pulled.
*no my bacon!* He exclaimed pulling the hood off only to meet a kiss on the noes.
"The Hero's thank you for saving me Heheh"
Sans sputtered and retreated back into the hood.
After everyone was done Alphys offered to check on Shell's ribs leaving Frisk to rescue Papyrus from the Duct tape while sans followed Shell to Alphys lab to help if needed.
"HE REALLY DOES LIKE HER DOESN'T HE?" Pap asked his niece who nodded.
"Then we need to get her something that will really win him over. Does she have anything other than her Scrubs?" Undyne asked looking at Frisk.
"No uh, we left in a hurry." Frisk answered sweat dropping.
"Hmm then leave it to me, I will take her shopping tomorrow to get some stuff and you can talk with sans." Undyne reasoned with a smile. "Plus I can talk to her about just what she did to charm that goofy bonehead."
"AND I….WILL GO WASH OFF THE GOO FROM THE DUCT TAPE!"
~in the lab~
Sans sat in a chair while Alphys finished up a scan and smiled "Everything is ok, just four bruised ribs. And the cuts are all infection free. The ribs should heal in a few days."
*whew good.* the Skeleton gave a relieved look which Alphys noted with a small smile.

"Now a…about rooms, Frisk has her own and so does Papyrus, would you two like to share or..." Alphys began when both said "Separate" together.
*if there isn't enough space I can bunk with frisk its ok.* his boney cheeks a pale blue.
Alphys nodded. "Ok, well let's get everyone to bed for now."
Soon everyone was put to their respective rooms after a brief Undyne telling shell they were shopping tomorrow.
Sans tucked Frisk in before going to bed himself thinking over what had happened earlier. *what the heck was I thinking?* he muttered * could we…* He looked at his sleeping Daughter. *Frisk loves her already….Paps enjoys her company….so…why am I so nervous about this?"
~next day~
Sans looked at Undyne sternly * anything happens to her I will deep fry you and serve you with tartar sauce. Got it?*
Undyne nodded quickly "Got it keep safe, don't get dunked on."
Shell walked in still wearing the scrub pants but only donning the tank top. "Ok ready to go!"

Sans's mood switched to a happy one, which spooked Undyne a bit, and he smiled to Shell. * have fun.*

"Will do!" Shell saluted with a wink heading out with Undyne.
~at the mall during a nice little lunch interlude~
"So how did ya meet sans?" Undyne asked while they waited for their pizza order in the food court.
"Well through Frisk. She was getting bullied and he came to me since she told him about me, to find out the deal. She does not know this and will not know this." Shell answered. "He 'spoke' to the bullies in question and they are not doing it any more. I hope. Then the Vice principle decided that he wasn't a fit father because he wasn't human. I mean seriously that woman is just so…argh the day before everything went crazy she was trying to provoke sans in to going at her, but I stepped in and helped them get away from her."
"Whoa. What else happened?" Undyne asked interested.
"Well she waited till I turned around, knocked me out, tied me up and gagged me then tossed me in my nurse's office. From what I gathered that means she was going to kidnap frisk from school the next day." Shell supplied as they got their pizza.
After they sat she continued the story. "Sans came and got me out, I told him were to find Frisk and when Crazy came back we got into a fight. Was not expecting her to be able to lift me. The lady is like 60+ years. But she did and threw me hard against whatever she could when she could. I am no fighter but I think I did pretty well. I broke her nose and popped her shoulder. Eventually moving began to really hurt from my ribs and I used a chair to keep her away till sans showed up and got me out."
Undyne's jaw dropped "just who is this lady?"
"Loraine Garrets. From what I could get from her files. She lost her child when she was 27, kids name was Chara I think, and apparently the kid ran off to play up by mount ebott and didn't come home. A year or so later, someone or something tried to bring her home. But the kid was dead and the people attacked, killing the person and they left with her body back to where ever they came from. All I can gather is that why she hates monsters. She blames them for killing her kid. Which I don't believe by the way."
Undyne coughed. "C…Chara? Oh…god…have I got some stuff for you…" she then began to tell Shell what really happened.
"They ate…..buttercups?! Those are poison! Dear god. The king and queen must have been devastated…." Shell murmured looking at her food. "And their son. Is seriously a flower now?"
"Yeah. Crazy." Undyne shrugged "Alphys is trying to find a way to restore him to being their son tho so it's not all bad. "
"Good. But what has me stumped is why Chara would eat buttercups…." Shell tapped her chin worried.
"Ask Sans he seems to know something but won't tell us anything." Undyne shrugged and finished her food. "Bet he's got reasons."
"Hmm yeah…well back into the fray?" Shell asked with a smile.
"You know it!"
~ Tiny time skip brought by W.D Gaster~

Sans sat in the living room a foot tapping a bit impatient for the duo to return. Frisk routinely looked up at him from her drawing and shook her head. He always got like that when uncle papyrus would go out food shopping and now he was doing the same for Shell.
"Papa watch some tv." She suggested poking his side. "It will keep you from worrying too much "
Sans sighed and turned the TV on to the news.
News: Today at Carter Elementary in Destiney reach city, Vice Principle Loraine Garrets was arrested for child endangerment and assault, the Principle had this statement.
A video of a tall man with a regal air dressed in a black suit a red tie and dark brown hair peppered with grey slicked back that matched a pair of old brown eyes.
'An anon caller had contacted me yesterday evening and told me many disturbing details about what they witnessed the vice principle do. It has also come to my attention that while I was away dealing with delicate family matters she allowed bullying and took bribes instead of suspending the offending parties. This information came to me from our schools nurse who I understand fled with the family of one of the students The Vice targeted after the vice attacked her on school grounds. I do hope that where ever Ms. Valiant that she is doing well and is recovering. Thank you.'

Both Sans and Frisk looked at each other with jaws dropped.
"Mrs. Applegate told!" Frisk said bouncing in her seat. "Ha!"
*what makes you say that kiddo?* Sans questioned as more news rolled along.
"Well Mama Shell did say she was her daddy's friend and friend help each other out!" Frisk reasoned with a nod.
New: Incoming report on school incident, the ex-Vice principle has escaped custody and is considered highly dangers due to strange ramblings and talking to thin air. We advise those involved with the incident to stay where they are until she is apprehended.
*….well we are Boned for a while.* Sans growled out turning off the news.
"I know you won't let her do anything to me or Mama!" Frisk said hugging him.
Sans returned the hug glad she could not see the panicked look on his face. The news said that brats name. Flowey he could deal with. But that brat. Noooo no no not again. Never again.
A car click sounded and frisk hurried to a window. "They are back yay!"
Sans shook his head with a grin pulling the door open to go help bring in whatever Undyne helped her get when he was stopped cold by the new look of Shell.
She stood in a full skeleton theme ensemble. Black buckle up boots with silver skulls, skeleton leggings. A skirt that reached her knees decorated with skulls and crossbones, a Tee that had Jack skelington on the front grinning and a simple black denim jacket with Nightmare before Christmas buttons pinned all over it.
*Whoa. You look Spine tingling.*
"I HEARD THAT BROTHER!" Pap screamed from where ever he was.
"Why thank you. Saw a hot topic and Undyne had to pry me away." She did a little spin with a pose.
Undyne chuckled "yeah you should see the little Black Dre-"Shell quickly covered her mouth. "Shhhhhshhhh small child need not know the secrets of the world yet."
Frisk tilted her head to the side confused but shrugged. "Oh we saw on the news they crazy lady got arrested but got away. They said she was saying a name..."
Shell looked at Frisk "….was the name Chara?"
Sans gently grabbed frisks shoulder *why don't you go show Undyne were to put shell's stuff kiddo. I need to talk with shell…*
"Ok!" Frisk did as told while sans went up to Shell shaking slightly.
"Sans?" She questioned looking at him worried. "What's wrong?"

*that name how…how did you…* he rasped out clearly scared.
"I may have looked into her past and saw she lost her child years ago. The child's name was Chara, I figured she blames monsters for the death…" Shell explained. "How do you know about Chara?"
*long….painful story…but I think its ok if you know…..* he muttered offering his hands *come with me I know a short cut to a place no one will listen in at.*
"All right….lead the way." She grabbed his hand and the two teleported away for a little bit.
They reappeared in an abandoned building. "Where…."
*the underground. A place I used to go to when we were stuck down here. It's called Grillby's.* sans walked over to a barstool and sat down, he patted one beside him and shell joined him.
*well to start with, did you know that when a monster dies, their soul and body's vanish almost instantly? It's because we don't have as much determination as humans…..* he looked at his hands *Chara wanted to use Frisk's unnaturally strong determination to kill everyone in the underground, then would use the power they gathered to destroy humanity next. In one time line she killed Papyrus…everyone…now I know what you are going to say. Everyone is alive, I know that but….when a human with powerful determination like Frisks, they gain an ability, to SAVE, RELOAD, and RESET. *
Shell watched as neon blue tears began to fall, her heart twisting. "Sans you don't have to continue if..."
*no. I need to tell someone, I need to tell you. I fought Chara, over and over and over, they kept resetting to the last save. At one point I was afraid I would die too. But Frisk fought their way back and completely reset the timeline. Erasing everything that happened…but I remembered, thankfully she doesn't remember, and she won't as long as I am alive…*
"Wait, Chara possessed her right?" Shell asked getting a bad feeling "What if she decided to use mummy dearest to get back at you and the others?!"
*that brats so getting dunked on…..but the reason I told you is so YOU can be careful, and look after frisk if anything goes really bad.* Sans looked over at her and blushed as she hugged him.
"Sans, I said it once I will say it again, my place is in between her you guys. She won't get a single hair or rib bone."
*thank you Shell.* he returned the hug. *well now that I have told you this lets head back and bug Paps with horrible puns.*
"Or…or we could sing the entire sound track to Nightmare before Christmas."
*we do that.*
~End part three~
Ps: part four is the end
