Sora walked through the large doors that led to the Ruin's exit. He looked about the final hallway, raising an eye-It was certainly odd.

"Golly, that sure was scary!"

The adorable voice from before spoke up once again, and Sora turned to face the small flower again. "But you sure are a strong one! You took 'em down like they were nothing at all!"

"Thanks." Sora chuckled a bit. He didn't really know what to say much, but he was wondering something, "Uh...By the way-Why exactly did you leave when Toriel showed up?" The flower looked a bit surprised, like he'd been caught about something, then grinned a bit sheepishly, "I sure am sorry about that, but I'm kinda scared of strangers." Before Sora could ask why he was approached, the flower continued, "But you got a lot of light, y'know-You sure must be a good person, then!"

Sora smiled a bit wider at the nice compliment, about to thank him-But the flower interrupted him again, "Hey-Ya think we could be friends? I'd sure love that!"

Sora was even happier at that question, "Well yeah! Of course."

The flower held out a leaf, "My name's Flowey-Flowey the flower!" it gave a wink, sticking its tongue out at him.

Sora took it with a couple fingers, gently shaking the flower's...Leaf, "I'm Sora." he smiled.

Flowey grinned wider, "Well Sora-" he looked back at the exit, "You're uh...Leaving the Ruins, I see. Listen, buddy-You gotta be careful!" he gave a concerned expression, "Out there there's a lot of bad monsters, it's pretty much kill or be killed."

Sora was touched by his new friend's concern, but concluded that surely he must've just had a bad experience once. After all, Toriel was very kind, as well as the froggits, so surely not all of them could be so bad...Right? "Thank you, Flowey-And don't worry, I'll be fine." he smiled at the golden flower. Flowey smiled weakly back, "Well, if you insist-But hey-If you need any help, call for me-I'll be there for ya!" he grinned at him. Then sunk into the dirt below. Sora was impressed by such a way to travel, before he hurried out into the snowy woods.

Flowey had already made a mental note about Sora's magic, and his weapon. Challenging him to a fight straight away would mean certain death for him. Nope, but Sora did seem to be quite gullible...Well, 'trusting' would probably be another word for it. More accurate to the teen, but it was all the same to him. He could definitely use that when the time came.

For now, he'd play friends with them.

Sans was sleeping. Hey-He was tired, okay? Watching a human child was tough. Especially when they were filled with determination.

But thankfully, at the moment, the kid should be fine. Which gave him a break-For now. For now, he could stand right in front of his house, asleep. Would it make more sense to go inside and actually sleep on his bed? Yes. But that took effort, which he didn't exactly feel like making right now.

Unfortunately, a dark and familiar feeling made his sockets snap open. In an almost panic Sans darted his sockets about the place, trying to find the source of whatever it was.

Nothing. Must've been his imagination. So maybe he could go back to sleep..

"SAAAAAANNNNSSS!"

Nix that.

Papyrus ran up to Sans, who yawned a bit before looking at the other.

"What's up, Papyrus?"

"IT IS SO EXCITING! THERE IS ANOTHER HUMAN THAT HAS COME."

Great, now he'd have two of them to-Wait what?

"I WANTED TO CREATE SOME NEW PUZZLES FOR HIM BUT THERE WAS THIS BLACK THING THAT GOT IN MY WAY! IT WAS QUITE RUDE. IT KEPT FOLLOWING ME AND DID NOT LET ME PUT PUZZLES DOWN ANYWHERE."

Black thing? It might've just been a coincidence or from him panicking too much, but he remembered the dark feeling from before, "Heh, sounds like a puzzling situation, eh?"

Papyrus looked a bit annoyed at his brother's pun, but continued anyway, "THAT WAS NOT THE MOST EXCITING PART! WHEN HE WAS APPROACHED BY THE BLACK THING-HE GOT OUT A KEY THAT WAS AS LARGE AS OUR YOUNG FRIEND." Papyrus narrowed his sockets, "COME TO THINK OF IT-WHERE HAD HE BEEN KEEPING IT?"

Sans had a surprised look on his skull for a split-second. All of the pieces fit.

But innocent Papyrus took it differently, perking up again, "I KNOW-IMAGINE IF OUR KEYS WERE THAT LARGE! WE WOULD NEVER LOSE THEM AGAIN! I MUST TELL UNDYNE!"

With that, Papyrus rushed off in the other direction. Toward where he'd often met with her.

Sans couldn't really get another comment in as Papyrus left, but his eye glowed blue.

If the heartless were here, then they were in for a bad time.
