Katie hummed a song as she watched. Papyrus smirked as he was sure this was going to be fool proof. Katie smiled and then, just to see what he'd do, took a few steps away from him. Papyrus nodded firmly to Katie as he thought these puzzles would be difficult for a small human like Frisk. Katie took a step more away from him, doing it once more just to test. Sans watched her and smirked, that was amusing but a needed test for his brother. Frisk and Cherry grew worried as they faced certain creatures on their own, but luckily, they were able to spare them like pacifists and not kill like bloodthirsty murderers. Katie got a few more steps.

'Wow the tall one is a bit oblivious...' the voice told Katie.

Sans got ready to stop Katie if she got too far away though. Frisk and Cherry soon came to see Katie and the skeleton brothers.

"So, as I was saying about Undyne-" Papyrus then started a new subject to take a break from the puzzles.

Katie looked at her short distance away and gave a tiny wave. "Just a test, sir." she said quietly.

Sans stood by and moved Katie closer to Papyrus, using his magic. He smiled to Cherry and Frisk.

Papyrus soon noticed Frisk and Cherry and did double takes to both Sans and Katie. "Oh, my God!" He did a freaky flip out once he noticed the other humans. "Those other humans..."

Cherry and Frisk gave small waves back to Katie. Katie smiled.

'He really is dumb...' the voice told Katie.

"Well, they can do your puzzle, bro." Sans told him.

"Ahem!" Papyrus cleared his throat once he sorted himself out. "Humans, you shall not pass this area! I, The Great Papyrus, will stop you! I will then capture you like Katie! You'll both be delivered to the capital! Then... Then!"

"You'll stop talking?" Cherry joked.

Sans understood it was a joke so it didn't annoy him.

Katie giggled quietly, but also gave a warning back, though only with a light tone so obviously to the other humans she wasn't really telling them off. "Don't disrespect the Great Papyrus!" she warned, lightly.

"At least not all humans are fools," Papyrus commented about Cherry's deadpan snarkiness. "None the less! Continue if you both dare." he then slid away with a cackle with Katie.

Cherry rolled her eyes at that. Katie blinked as she was pulled along. Wow, he might not have had any muscle, but he was strong. Sans kept an eye on Cherry and Frisk.

"Your brother's interesting..." Cherry commented to Sans.

"Yes, he's great... He might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he tries," Sans smiled. "I think he's taken shine to your friend though... Heh, he even learned her name." he said.

"Well, that's better than dainty human." Cherry commented.

Frisk nodded in agreement.

Sans chuckled. "Go on, ahead... I got a shortcut." he said.

Cherry and Frisk shrugged and they walked forward. Cherry walked until she stopped and the phone appeared to be ringing, so she answered it and someone was ordering a pizza.

Katie looked up at Papyrus and couldn't resist but to give a wink.

"I hope your friends find this puzzle to be rather... Shocking..." Papyrus smirked to Katie.

Katie giggled at that. "That was very good." she told him.

Sans was by Papyrus suddenly.

"Oh-ho, you have a wonderful sense of humor." Papyrus smirked smugly.

Katie giggled and gave a tiny blush. Sans kept an eye out.

"So glad that Sans isn't being a lazy bones right now, he was so lazy, he napped all night last night." Papyrus told Katie.

"Um... I believe that's called sleeping, Bro." Sans said.

Katie leaned against Papyrus a little. "Everyone needs sleep, oh Great one." she smiled.

"Excuses! Excuses!" Papyrus scoffed to his brother.

Sans shrugged. Katie gave a small giggle.

Cherry and Frisk soon appeared.

"Oh-ho, the other humans arrive!" Papyrus noticed. "In order to stop you two, my brother and I have created some puzzles! I think you'll find this one... Quite shocking! For you see, this is the invisible electricity maze! When you touch the walls of this maze, this orb will administer a hearty zap!"

"Ooh." Cherry commented, though knowing her, it was likely to be sarcastic.

Katie giggled. Sans grinned at them.

"The amount of fun you will probably have, is actually rather small I think," Papyrus continued. "Okay, you can both go ahead now."

Cherry and Frisk came for the maze only for Papyrus to somehow get shocked himself.

Katie winced, as with him holding her, the shock zapped her too.

"I think they're meant to have the orb, Bro." Sans told him.

"Oh... Okay..." Papyrus said before walking with Katie in a certain direction and handing the orb to Frisk. "One of you hold this please."

Frisk balanced the orb on their head after Papyrus went back with Katie, not getting shocked this time.

"Okay, try now!" Papyrus told them.

Cherry rolled her eyes, she held Frisk's hand and crossed the same way Papyrus just did. Katie raised an eyebrow as she was pulled along again, she made sure to make prints in the snow though. Sans watched carefully.

"Incredible, you slippery snails!" Papyrus had to admit. "You both solved it so easily... Too easily!"

"Oh, such a hard obstacle, I was almost... Puzzled." Cherry replied.

Sans looked at his brother to see what his reaction would be. Katie smiled, she hoped the tall skeleton would realize it was meant nicely, even if the tone wasn't.

"Ooh, you think you're so funny, don't you?" Papyrus scoffed to Cherry. "However, the next puzzle will not be easy! It is designed by my brother, Sans, you will surely be confounded, I know I am!" he then cackled and went off again, but he seemed to leave Katie that time.

Cherry smirked as she and Frisk came toward Sans and Katie. Katie watched him go. She then held her arms out for Frisk. The red in her eyes returned a little more now Papyrus wasn't around.

"Thanks for trying to compliment my brother..." Sans said with a shrug but smiled

Frisk held Katie once they were reunited.

"Oh, happy to oblige." Cherry replied innocently.

Katie hugged her cousin. "You were so clever." she smiled to them.

Frisk smiled back up to Katie.

"Are you okay, Kat?" Cherry asked.

"Yes, I'm fine." Katie smiled to her friend/sister and her cousin. She then swung Frisk up to rest on her shoulders to give the kid a higher point-of-view.

Sans looked at them. Frisk smiled as they were lifted up. Cherry also gave a sincere smile of genuine joy and happiness. Katie giggled and made sure Frisk wouldn't fall but followed after Papyrus.

"I kinda like this place." Cherry said as they went along.

"Other than the snow." Katie nodded.

"I actually like the snow." Cherry playfully huffed.

Frisk nodded in agreement as snow was quite fun to play in when you were a child.

"I don't too much... I always fall in it." Katie pouted.

'I won't let us fall.' the voice told Katie.

"I don't understand why these aren't selling," A vendor sulked behind his stand. "It's the perfect weather for something cold. Oh, some customers! Would any of you like some Nice Cream?"

Frisk looked up to Katie hopefully.

Katie, who had the gold, nodded. "Okay then..." she smiled and went over to the nice cream man. "Three Nice Creams, please." she told him.

"All right, that'll be 45 gold!" The vendor smiled back to Katie.

Katie smiled and handed him the gold. "Just a warning, Frisk, get it on my head and I'll have to give you the tickle punishment." she grinned to the kid on her shoulders.

Frisk gasped playfully before smirking. Cherry smiled as she loved desserts like this.

"Have a super-duper day!" The vendor told them.

"You too~" Katie smiled, and handed Frisk their nice cream. Her other hand twitched as if it wanted to grab her knife, but she tried to stop it.

They ate their nice cream as they walked along the peaceful seeming winter wonderland. Any of the little monsters, Katie's eyes turned red as she used the toy knife to fight them. Cherry was still a bit concerned for Katie as they wandered together. Frisk came closer to the ice and began to kick a snowball like a soccer ball until it went in a hole like in golf.

"Well done, Frisk!" Katie congratulated her cousin.

Frisk smiled back to Katie. Katie held her hand up for a high five. Frisk then hopped up and high-fived back. Cherry chuckled as that was kinda cute. Katie giggled and then scooped Frisk up under one arm and carried them like a sack of potatoes along more of the path. Frisk laughed as this was quite fun.

Cherry noticed Sans just standing around with that silly smile of his.

"Do you want to buy this new treat I've got... Fried snow, only five gold." Sans asked.

Cherry shrugged as they had enough gold and decided to try it out. "Sure, why not?"

"Did I say five gold?" Sans grinned. "I meant 50 gold."

"We don't have that much." Katie called over.

"Troll..." Cherry mumbled with an eye roll as she then refused to take the fried snow.

"Ah, that's okay... Didn't have any anyway." Sans shrugged.

"Hmm..." Cherry rolled her eyes with a small smirk.

Frisk and the others soon finished their nice cream so they could go forward. Sans waved to them.

"Trolly Trashbag." Katie half-joked, one eye completely red as she used the last bit, but she didn't mean it nastily herself.

Cherry rolled her eyes as she walked with Frisk and Katie through the snow, not slipping or falling in luckily enough. Katie carried Frisk like the sack of potatoes a little bit more than let them down. Frisk's feet crunched against the snow.

"Hmm... What to do now?" Cherry pondered.

"Continue on obviously." Katie said.

"But where?" Cherry asked.

Frisk came up two stands, one said 'His' and the other said 'Her'.

Katie looked at the two stands. "Okay... Down the way..." she said, as they couldn't go any further.

Frisk and Cherry then walked on with Katie to continue their adventure. Katie kept a hand on her toy knife just in case.

"Humans!" Papyrus called as they arrived to the next scene. "I hope you're ready for-... Sans! Where's the puzzle?!"

"It's right there." Sans said, gesturing to the paper on the ground.

Katie looked at it and couldn't help but walk right past heading up to Papyrus with a smile. Frisk walked over to the paper and picked it up.

"It's a word search..." Cherry deadpanned slightly. "Oh, how horrifying... What's a 'glasfclfebrehber'?"

"Sans! That didn't do anything!" Papyrus hissed.

Sans shrugged. "I thought it was pretty difficult." he said.

Katie smiled up at Papyrus. "I find your puzzles much better." she smiled.

"We should've used Junior Jumble," Papyrus replied. "That's easily the hardest!"

"I thought a crossword was harder." Sans said.

Katie shook her head no, she was agreeing with Papyrus.

"Unbelievable..." Papyrus would roll his eyes if it were possible. "Humans! Solve this dispute! Which is harder, Junior Jumble or Crossword Puzzles?"

"Junior Jumble." Katie said quickly.

Sans didn't mind which was said, he just liked to tease his brother at times.

"Ha, ha, yes!" Papyrus grinned in delight. "Humans must be very intelligent if they also find Junior Jumble so difficult! I really like the one called Katie, I shall spare her in the future!"

The voice had been silent a while but it stirred at the mention of sparing.

"Aww, you're a cute cinnamon roll~" Katie smiled. "And such a strong and great skeleton." Katie smiled.

"Oh, you like my battle body?" Papyrus asked coyly.

Sans actually blinked at that, was his brother doing what he thought he was?

"Oh, yes... Makes you look charming~" Katie smiled.

"Oh, come with me, little one~" Papyrus chuckled to Katie as he 'claimed' her.

Katie pouted at being called Little One, but followed the taller skeleton.

"Oh, my gosh..." Sans said after they went off.

"That was, uh, interesting..." Cherry merely blinked.

Frisk looked over to Sans curiously.

"My brother... My shy about stuff like that brother flirted with someone... I'm so proud~" Sans exclaimed, a blue blush of happiness forming as bright blue tears of happiness formed too.

Cherry soon sniffed the air and smiled. "Spaghetti~..."

Frisk gave a small smile up to Sans.

Sans looked down to Frisk. "Hey, kiddo..." he smiled.

Frisk gave a wave to Sans.

"I'll keep an eye out for you guys still, alright?" Sans asked the young one.

Frisk nodded once, then noticed as Cherry went ahead to find spaghetti and a microwave. Sans gently nudged Frisk to follow Cherry. Frisk then followed after Cherry like a lost puppy, didn't help that they were just a child. Sans made sure they would be okay before he would go to join his brother. Cherry and Frisk encountered one dog warrior and a dog couple, but they made it through alive. Sans kept an eye on them.

Katie looked to the taller skeleton, a small blush on her face.

"Perhaps we could solve a puzzle together sometime." Papyrus chuckled.

Katie nodded. "Of course." she smiled.

Papyrus smiled to Katie on the way to the next puzzle to test Cherry and Frisk.

Katie giggled. "So, what's this puzzle O Great One?" she asked curiously.

"See those X's and O's?" Papyrus pointed.

Katie nodded. "Yes, sir." she smiled.

"They'll set off a trap for your little friends unless they find a way to make these spikes disappear." Papyrus smirked as they stood on the other side before he activated spikes that would only go through by death.

Katie blinked. "So if they fail, they'll die if they want to come forwards?!" she yelped.

"Prrrecisely." Papyrus replied.

"No, no, no, no... That can't happen!" Katie said, and crossed her arms.

"Is there a problem?" Papyrus replied.

"You can't kill my best friend/sister or cousin!" Katie told him.

"Dearest..." Papyrus tried.

Cherry and Frisk rolled their eyes as this seemed ridiculous as they were able to pass the puzzle and even lower the spikes. Katie blushed at both the name and the fact her cousin and best friend had seen that. "What?! How did you avoid my trap?!" Papyrus snapped at Cherry and Frisk. "And, more importantly, is there any left for me?"

"Any what?" Cherry asked out of confusion.

"Oh, of his spaghetti." Katie said.

"Oh, yeah, that..." Cherry replied. "It was cold, so we left it."

Frisk nodded in agreement.

"Really?!" Papyrus replied. "Wowie... You resisted the flavor of my home cooked pasta just so you could share it with us? Fret not, humans! I, Master Chef Papyrus, will make you all the pasta you could ever want!"

Katie smiled a little. Sans stood close by watching.

Papyrus then walked away with Katie. "See? No harm done." she then told her about the puzzle.

Cherry rolled her eyes and shook her head. Oh, Papyrus...

Katie looked at him with wide eyes. "No harm done?! If they hadn't happened to solve the puzzle, they could die because those spikes." she told him.

"You might have a point there." Papyrus smiled sheepishly.

Katie nodded, she couldn't let her family or friends get hurt.

"I'm out of puzzles for right now, but I'm worried about my brother Sans." Papyrus said to her.

"Why are you worried for him?" Katie asked the taller skeleton, her voice softening.

"He has a sock collection..." Papyrus muttered. "He's just fortunate he has someone really cool looking after him."

Katie giggled. "Are they at least a clean sock collection?" she asked him.

"I haven't paid much attention, but I hope so..." Papyrus had to admit.

Katie nodded. "Then it's fine," she smiled. She then patted his arm. "I hope you don't have a big trap that is dangerous by the way." she then told him.

"Hmm... The others are taking a while, so maybe I could improve this next one." Papyrus decided.

"The next puzzle?" Katie asked, maybe she could help make it less dangerous whatever it was.

"Yes, you humans are better than I expected..." Papyrus replied as he tried to arrange the next puzzle in the snow, but he looked to Katie. "Perhaps you could be of assistance since Sans is lazier and lazier every day."

"Um, okay." Katie smiled a little.

Papyrus and Katie then worked together on the puzzle until Frisk and Cherry would arrive. The snow seemed to be frozen to the ground as they did what they could to make the puzzle.

"Uh-oh... Well, at least we tried." Katie told him.

"No one can take that away from us." Papyrus nodded to Katie.

Katie nodded and smiled softly at the taller skeleton. Papyrus smiled back to Katie.

Cherry and Frisk soon came over after a bit of a long while to see what was going on with the two this time. Katie was happier as they were on the trap side of the spikes too, as that way if needed they could help. Papyrus then told Frisk and Cherry about the next puzzle from what he told Katie just moments before.

"This doesn't look that hard." Cherry commented.

"Well, try it out." Katie said.

Cherry and Frisk shrugged to each other and walked over the X's that seemed to turn into O's. Katie watched carefully. Unbeknownst to them, there was a switch hidden in a tree that would easily let them win by pressing the button after flicking the switch. Cherry had to admit, this was a bit more complex than the other puzzles, but not overly so that it would cause an irritable headache out of frustration. Katie watched from where she was beside Papyrus.

"Wow, you solved it!" Papyrus sounded pleased. "And you did it without my help! Incredible, I'm impressed!"

Frisk gave a small smile while Cherry smirked. 5Sans grinned at them. Katie smiled too.

"Come along, Katie, we must make another puzzle for the two!" Papyrus said to Katie before going on with her.

"Someone's in a good mood." Cherry commented as she walked with Frisk over the no longer spiked floor to see Sans.

Katie blinked.

"My Bro? Yeah, he does seem happier since your friend arrived," Sans nodded. "He must've been BONE-ly for love." he said.

"HA!" Cherry smirked, she did laugh a bit as she wasn't expecting that pun, though she felt like she should've.

Sans chuckled and grinned. "Did you find that to be a real Rib-tickler?" he asked.

"Yeah, that was a good one." Cherry legitimately laughed.

Frisk glanced at Cherry, they never heard her laugh before.

Sans laughed. "I better stop before you Bust a Gut." he said.

Cherry snickered before rolling her eyes. "Don't lose your head."

Sans gasped and came over to Cherry. "You like puns too?" he asked her.

"Eh, I'm more of a sharp and witty comic, but I can make a pun or two." Cherry shrugged with a small smile.

Sans grinned. "My kinda girl." he said.

"I do like to laugh." Cherry replied.

"Ah, well when you've passed my brother's puzzles, feel free to drop by for a visit." Sans grinned.

"Visit?" Cherry replied curiously while Frisk tilted their head.

"Yeah, in the town where I live," Sans said, he then checked the time. "Heh, best to carry on or my bro might be overwhelmed by the feelings he may have." he said.

"Um, all right, see ya there, Sans." Cherry shrugged.

Sans waved and walked in the opposite direction of where he was supposed to go.

Papyrus seemed to be growing attached to Katie overtime. Katie was growing attached to him too, he was very sweet, and though he made some mistakes his enthusiasm made up for it.

"This one might be a tad bit difficult." Papyrus said about the next puzzle.

"You haven't heard of Dr. Alphys, have you, Katie?" Papyrus asked about the next puzzle.

"No, Great One..." Katie told him but smiled.

"Surely you will sooner or later, but she designed this for me~" Papyrus smirked.

Katie giggled. She then looked at the machine that seemed to control the trap.

"The tiles will change color when I throw that switch," Papyrus told Katie. "Each color has a different function though."

Katie nodded. "Maybe you should save the explanation for the other two." she smiled at him.

Sans was suddenly beside them.

"Right." Papyrus agreed.

Cherry and Frisk soon came to the next puzzle.

"Oh, no, it's a disco!" Cherry gasped.

Katie giggled at that. Sans tried hard not to laugh too.

Papyrus sighed to Cherry, he then repeated what he told Katie and began to explain how this puzzle worked and how the tiles were different. "Red ones are impassible, you cannot walk on them!" he then began. "Yellow tiles are electric, they will electrocute you! Green tiles are alarm tiles, if you step on them, you will both have to fight a monster! Orange tiles are orange-scented, they will make you smell delicious! Blue tiles are water tiles, swim through if you like, but if you smell like oranges, the piranhas will bite you-"

"Piranhas are carnivores." Cherry replied.

Katie hadn't known there would be dangerous elements like that. "H-Hey! P-Piranhas are dangerous!" she gasped.

"Also, if a blue tile is next to a yellow tile, the water will also zap you!" Papyrus then continued. "Purple tiles are slippery, you will slide into the next tile! However, the slippery soap smells like lemons which piranhas do not like!"

"Or oranges." Cherry deadpanned.

"Do not interrupt me!" Papyrus scolded. "Finally, the pink tiles are okay, step on them all you like! How was that, do you understand the explanation?"

Katie looked a little worried but nodded.

"Just so you know, this entire puzzle is randomized!" Papyrus told Cherry and Frisk on the other side. "When I pull this switch, it will make a puzzle that has never been seen before! Not even I will know the solution! Get ready!" he then pulled the switch.

Cherry and Frisk became nervous as the colored tiles were moving all around like on a disco dance floor before it kept going quickly until two sides were red and the middle was entirely pink.

Katie looked at it, glanced at the machine, then up at Papyrus. "Aww, sweetheart~" she cooed, trying to cheer him up.

Sans looked at his brother, then the puzzle. Papyrus felt defeated and felt like he had no other choice then to leave and felt confounded.

"That machine doesn't look like it works." Cherry said after she and Frisk crossed the path.

Katie followed him, to make sure he didn't do anything silly. Sans glanced at the machine and shrugged. He then grinned to Cherry.

"I'm not sure what else I can do." Papyrus pouted.

Frisk also looked over to Sans.

"I'm sure you'll think of something." Katie soothed him.

Sans winked to Frisk.

"I just want to please Undyne." Papyrus told Katie.

"You will." Katie smiled to him softly. She gave him a hug then.

"Oh... I don't know what's come over me..." Papyrus said as he enjoyed the hug.

"You'll be fine, Great One." Katie smiled at him. She hugged him a little longer then started to pull away. He was warm and surprisingly not 'boney' even if he was technically bones.

Papyrus actually held Katie warmly and in comfort. "Sorry for trying to kill the other ones."

"It's okay, Great One." Katie said softly, of course if he tried to do it again she would have to have a few words with him. She wrapped her arms back around him then.

"Hey, Bro, getting cozy with the eldest human?" Sans appeared out of nowhere.

"SANS! Don't do that!" Papyrus said after a small startled yelp.

Katie gasped in surprise too.

"Sorry, Bro... Didn't mean to rattle your bones." Sans smirked.

Papyrus groaned in long-suffering of his comedic brother.

Katie couldn't help, but giggle though.

"Hey, bro, I suggest you make sure your little human can't stop your next trap after the slidy puzzle one." Sans said quietly to Papyrus. So far he trusted Katie, but he had noticed her knife and a bit of dust on her and didn't want to risk his brother getting hurt.

"That actually sounds promising..." Papyrus had to agree before smirking. "I told you that Sans was lucky to be looked after such a cool and great guy like me, Katie!"

Katie nodded. "Yes, I agree, he is lucky." she smiled to him.

Sans was the one looking after Papyrus but he adored his brother so much he let him think that. "Yup, you're the coolest, bro." he grinned.

"Sans, you know how to make use of me and yet be so difficult at times." Papyrus replied as a compliment.

Katie smiled.

Sans grinned and shrugged. "What can I say, I'm in awe of you, bro." he said.

"Now for that next puzzle." Papyrus smirked once he felt his confidence and ego boost from both Katie and Sans.
