2293 words... WHAT!?

*1*Papyrus wakes up at seven thirty, gets dressed and goes straight to Sans's room. "Sans?" he says opening the door. as soon as he does he sees his bother curled up into a ball in the corner of the bed fast asleep. closing the door he walks down to the kitchen where the phone is. he picks up the phone and dials in a number. ...ring... ring ... ring. "H-Hello?" a voice says from the other end of the phone.*2* "Hello Alphys, how are you?" says Papyrus sweetly. "I'm good thank y-you for asking." "No problem, I was just wondering, um, would you be able to come over and watch Sans for me while i'm at a meeting? He's asleep and he really needs the sleep, and I don't think i could get him up if i tried." Papyrus hates asking for things short notice but has no choice.

"O-Of course, but why does he need someone to watch him?" Alphys asks. "He had one of his blackouts at school yesterday and I just don't feel safe leaving him alone just yet."

*3*Alphys gives an affirmative noise, already knowing the situation with his brother. "Okay I can be there in ten minutes, is that okay?" "It's great." Papyrus says. he always liked how nice she was. "See you soon." "bye" she responds.

Hanging up the phone Papyrus goes to wait in the living-room.

Ten minutes, just as she had said, Alphys arrives at the skeletons house."Hello Alphys," Papyrus greets. "thank you so much for agreeing to stay with Sans for me." "O-oh it's really fine, I don't mind. but, uh, what should I expect from him when he wakes up?" She asks knowing he was going to be a bit off today. Papyrus thinks out-loud for a moment. "Well, it was a bad black out yesterday, and he's had a lack of sleep, he hasn't been eating well, oh stars, i need to pick up some groceries, also he was acting differently last night so..." Alphys rests her hand on the continually stressing skeleton. "Okay, I can figure it out from there. and why don't you stop by the store and do some shopping while your out, i know it's sort of a stress reliever and if anyone needs that it's you."

*4*Papyrus peers down at the small dinosaur looking monster with a thankful look. "Thank you. i'd better get going or else i'll be late. oh!, and heres a list of things that coud help calm him down if need be."

Waving goodbye to Papyrus Alphys shuts the front door and sits down on the couch. she looks over the list quickly.

'ketchup, if he won't eat. teddy bear, if he won't stop crying. the park if he won't talk/listen. if all else fails call me.'

Alphys puts the list in her bag and pulls out an anime comic to read. twenty minutes later she pulls out a sickly yellow soda from her bag drinking it till it was half gone.

*5*Sans wakes up curled up on his bed with groggy eye-sockets. he looks around for a minute before a sharp pain shoots through his skull. "ahhh!" he says softly squeezing his eye-sockets shut.

he slowly gets out of bed and towards his door clutching his skull in one hand. now in the hall he freezes when he sees his brothers door wide open and no one inside and drops his hands to his sides. not yet in view of the living-room he sits down where he is and whispers something inaudible.*6*

*7*Slowly his whispers get louder and louder until they're shouts. "PAPYRUS!" he shouts with tears forming in his eyes, starting to hyperventilate.

*8*"PAPYRUS!" comes a shout from the hall. Alphys looks up from her manga and quickly hops up off the couch and hurries up the stairs as fast as her stumpy little legs could take her.

she skids around the corner to see Sans with unshed tears in his eye-sockets trembling uncontrollably. "Sans, It's alright, Papyrus just went out for a bit, but I'm here." Alphys says comfortably, giving off a 'motherly' aura. Sans continues to shake but looks up at her from where he was sitting confusion showing clearly in his eyes. "I-It hurts..." he says quietly. "What hurts, Sans?" he points to his skull in response.

*9*Seeing some red appear on the bandages Alphys suggests they fix it "Okay, let's go fix you up then." she leads him into the bathroom and sits him down on the edge of the bath-tub. she takes the wrappings off his head and throws them into the trash. luckily she was almost done with medical school and knows how to work with monsters and humans alike.

*10*Sans grasps the edge of his eye-socket with one hand, clutching it so hard his hand was shaking. Alphys notices this and tries to take his hand down. "Sans, don't do that. it could mess up your skull even more." she tries prying his bony hand off but it is to no avail.

She lets go of his hand and tries to think of what to do, being unable to re-wrap his head with him shaking so much. "Hey Sans, you like the park right?" *11*she asks working up a plan. he nods and loosens his grip on his eye-socket. "Okay, how about if you let go of your skull and let me wrap it for you we can go to the park?" Sans thinks about it a bit and takes his hand down, accepting her offer.

*12*Soon she has him wrapped up safely and in the living-room on the couch. he still hasn't said a word to her. "Are you hungry, do you want anything to eat before we go?" he shakes his head no and stairs straight ahead. grabbing her bag she walks over to Sans. "All right then, you ready to go?" he doesn't answer but gets up and waits for her to move. she makes a face and walks towards the door.

*13*Outside tension visibly releases itself from Sans. Alphys smiles and asks sans a question." hey would you rather drive or walk" finally he talks to her but its chopped up like full sentences were hard for him. "I- wan-t t' walk." he finally finishes looking frustrated."Okay we can walk to the park" Alphys mentally notes that it is going to be one of THOSE days.

*14*They start walking and it seems like time stops and they just kept walking forever. after half an hour they finally reach the park where they see Undyne with the monster kid following after her. the short duo head over to undyne and her follower.

"H-hey Undyne" Alphys says ever nervous around her crush. "HEY! Al, what 'r you doing here... and with Sans?" "Oh," she blushes "Papyrus had to go to a meeting and needed someone to watch Sans for him. Undyne frowns at the mention of the older skeleton. "Oh. hey Sans, how're you doing? I heard you had a rough day yesterday."

*15*Sans looks down at his feet and shrugs. Alphys can tell he doesn't want to talk. the monster kid pops his head around undyne and hops over to Sans. "Hey Sans! you remember me? I'm that kid that you said 'hey' to on the bus the other day!" Sans looks away and makes a small noise. not picking up on the obvious que to shut up the kid keeps talking. "what was that? I didn't hear you." Sans shrinks down a bit and answers louder. "N-ot-t really."

"WHAT!?" the monster kid exclaimed. "HOW CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER ME!?" Sans starts taking deep breaths startled by his yell. At the shouting Alphys notices Sans starting to melt down.*16* "Hey, um, kid Undyne told me how great you are at parkour, why don't you set up a course for her to try?" the kid ecstatic at the prospect of Undyne running a course made by him, runs off to the play set but not before falling on his face.

As soon as the kid runs off Alphys leads Sans over to a bench,Undyne close on their tail.*17* "It's all-right, sit down and breathe." Undyne watches from behind the pair. Sans settles down and pulls his feet up to his chest and watches the clouds.

*18*Undyne pulls Alphys aside to talk in semi privet. "Al, how are you so good at this?I mean, you just calmed him down from a near panic attack!" Alphys shrugs. "Well I had studied psychology for two years along with medicine and physics." they both look over at Sans who is now watching a butterfly flap through the air.

"Al, would you tell me something if I asked?" *19* Alphys, shocked nods her head. "Of course, what is it?" Undyne looks diectly at Alphys as she talks. "Why does he act that way? I mean, I know about the crash and how there was already a bad crack in his skull but, he acts so childish sometimes, like he's got some kind of disorder thing."

Alphys winces at Undynes brashness but answers anyways. "well, head trauma for skeletons is directly connected to their ability to retain and create memorys. also the cracking of a skeletons skull is a direct parallel to a brain injury for a human. so he has symptoms of brain injury which include: memory loss, lapse in consciousness, poor balance or dizzy spells, blurred vision, moodiness, and confusion. he also has an odd form of CDD that kind of flares up at times, like now." Alphys looks up at a confused Undyne with a proudness in her eyes for remembering all that.

*20* "any questions?" Undyne nods and proceeds with her questions. "okay first, what's CDD?" "it stands for childhood disintegrative disorder, it's kind of like Autism." Undyne gives a humph and continues "whats that thing do then?" Alphys can tell she is figuring out that she needs to be more sensitive. "it can mess up your expressive speech and receptive language skills, also it makes motor skills and social skills harder. although normally it is only in younger children Sans just never fully shook it."

*21*Undyne nods signaling that it was the end of her questioning.a few moments later an ice-cream truck could be heard coming around the park. Sans' head perks up from its spot staring at the ground. he looks around and spots the truck. immediately he looks to Alphys with a pleading look. "Heh heh, you have to ask, Sans, to get some icecream."*22* his face falls a bit but asks out loud anyways "C-can we get-t Ice-cream?" "Please?" he adds as an afterthought.

Alphys smiles as her plan to get him to talk again works. "Yes, lets all go get some ice-cream." the monster kid comes back over to the group and stairs up at undyne with the biggest eyes imaginable. "Fine kid, lets go." he jumps for joy and they all go over to the truck.

*23*After they order they go over to a picnic table and sit down. everyone is silent for no reason at all, even the monster kid was silent, but that's probably because he had to hold his ice-cream in his mouth, not having arms and all. "Sooo..." Undyne says trying to make conversation. "What did you guys do before you came here?" Sans' eyes dive downwards while Alphys tries to think of what to say without lying. *24*"Ummm... we, uh... didn't really do anything." she says knowing Sans didn't want people to know about the little morning fiasco. "How about you?" Undyne looks down "I tried to call Papyrus for a while... he didn't pick up, but I upped my max of bench pressing children!" the monster kid says some thing about going home and leaves abruptly without anyone noticing.

*25*"Whats with you and papyrus?" Alphys asks ignoring the fact about the children. "Oh, well we might have had a fight, and he may have kicked me out of his house." Alphys isn't surprised, normally the older skelebro would have called Undyne first to watch over Sans, for reasons unknown to her. "Oh it'll be fine, when he comes back just apologize and i'm sure he'll forgive you." *26* "I'm not so sure about that" Undyne says. "I basicly told him Sans seems like he would need a 'special class'" Alphys cringes heaing that information. both of them forgetting that the person they were talking about was sitting at the same table as they were.

*27*Sans looks up at Undyne halfway to horrified, betrayed tears welling up. He gets up and starts running, not really knowing where he was going. "Sans! come back!" Alphys yells, getting up herself. Undyne hops up and starts running after him but, he is faster than you'd think.*28* he slowly starts getting further and further ahead and finally Undyne has to stop or risk passing out.

*29*Alphys catches up to where Undyne stopped and bends over huffing and puffing. "Sans, Huff, doesn't know, Huff Huff, his way around, uuuugghh, this part of town." Undyne looks over to Alphys as she talks. "he'll get lost. Papyrus is going to kill us." *30* they both look to the direction of witch Sans ran. Undyne lets out a puff of breath. "Damn it"

Okay! so this chapter is finally done!

we also know what exactly is wrong with Sans.I did research on all the symptoms and causes and I found the exact symptoms i was looking for but it was a childrens thing and it doesn't exactly "flare up" but for the sake of my story,by Joe!, i'm going to keep it this way ! (if you haven't noticed Sans is my favorite character)
