"hey kid." Alphys jumped, rolling in her chair. "Sans! How did you get in here?" "i know a shortcut, don't need to be so jumpy. didn't know you had such a spring in your step." He chuckled his fingers brushing the skeleton's hand in the hospital bed. "So you won't believe what happened today. this little device found it's way to Waterfall. it's your cellphone. i guess you had some friends..well..on the other side hehe. so i thought maybe you could hold onto it for a while. it's still got everyone's number and its charged so..yeah.." "Sans are you ok?" "yeah. i'm ready." Alphys had been slowly injecting Frisk's soul with determination. The empty part of her soul was slow to repair though. Sans was constantly coming down to the labs to see her. He would tell her of all the things going on and how the monsters are doing on the surface..he occasionally told her his dreams, about him having dreams of traveling with her to all the places he saw in her memories. "hey ..Frisk. so." He pulled over his normal chair, holding something in his hands, resting them atop of her bed. "I uh..well this town...we celebrated the day of the dead festival you told us about. the kids in Toriel's class love Paps. he's so cool. they all wanted to make sugar skulls of his head..one kid actually tried to draw on his head and he allowed it. ended up with little dinosaurs on his head hehe. he wasn't dino-sore about it though." Sans laughed and looked down at his hand. "i..still have the one you made me. so i thought heck, why make this mug again..i..well here. it doesn't look much like you but." Sans put a small sugar skull with golden flower petals on it on the side table next to her phone. He dropped his head on the bed, clenching her hand tightly. "please wake up kid. don't string me along like this again. aw jeeze look at me, in the water works, wish i brought some floaters huh." He laughed. More time had passed and she showed no signs of waking up.
"Frisk." "Whose there?" "Frisk. It's time to wake up. If you miss this chance..I I wouldn't forgive myself." Frisk's eye sockets opened up slowly. "Asriel?" She heard her phone ringing and looked over, grabbing it and turned it around, her fingers fumbling to answer it. "Hello?" The caller on the other end hung up. "I love this ringtone. Nastablook must have made it. He's so smart." She looked about at all the monitors and instruments, not understanding anything. "This looks like..Alphys' true lab." Frisk looked down at the phone. "All these messages..almost a years worth...are these all?" She fought her fingers as they didn't seem to want to respond. "Message 34-hey kid. did you know you humans have a tomato based drink called a bloody mary? it's like..alcoholic ketchup. anyway. wish you were here. sleep well." "Message 65-i wish you were here Frisk. Alphys worked up the nerve. i'm standing here at Undyne and he's wedding. it's actually kinda nice. a bit too formal for my taste. i prefer a bit normal myself...anyway..we miss you kid." Frisk sank to the ground, tearing up. Every message was from Sans. He had tried to give her a call everyday..just like they used too. "Message 112-hey kid..wow, you'd think i was a horse with the same greeting..i had another dream about you..well..about that place you showed me. with the giant glowing mushrooms. i could see them reflecting in your eyes and well..it was nice..man..i miss you..i'll..talk to you later." "Message 189-Paps stop. DO IT SANS. COME ON! alright i guess. AT THE SAME TIME NOW. HAPPY anniversary Frisk! TODAY IS THE DAY YOU FIRST CAME BACK REBORN A NEW! WE WANTED TO GET YOU A GIFT BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE EVEN THE GREAT PAPYRUS ISN'T A MIND READER NEYH HEHE! yeah. happy been asleep for 200 days kid. SANS THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A NICE ." The limit was reached on that one.
"You have one new message." Frisk grasped the phone. "This is today's?! Come on. How do we see today's?" "hey Frisk...they are taking you off the plug today..i guess Alphys had done all that she can..i kinda wish..i had a reset button..even if...no i can't think that way..everyone is really happy. you would be happy too if you were here i know it..don't worry..i'm..i'm gonna come see you before the funeral..i just..look i can't hold off anymore huh..i know i won't get an answer back but probably for the better..i don't think i could handle rejection..look Frisk..would you..wanna marry me. who knows, maybe you'll come around again and i'll get an answer. heh..but i kinda hope i don't..i love you Frisk..bah..that was bad..forget this.." "No Sans wait!" Frisk called, but she remembered it was a message. She tensed up as the elevator main doors opened. "No, you look fine. I can't believe you ate 12 hot dogs though." "Alphys!" She tensed up, grabbing Undyne's arm as she pointed towards Frisk. "Didn't you just unplug her?!" The tall woman tensed up. "Yeah, but that was hours ago." "Guys please." She pulled herself up to her feet, struggling. "Where is Sans?" "Hide yo shame woman!" Undyne yelled, quickly grabbing a blanket and covering Frisk up, holding her up so she wouldn't fall. "I have to tell him yes." "Huh?" "Frisk. You really shouldn't move..we need to test to make sure your alright." "Later I promise please." She walked over to Alphys, holding her hands. "I'll let you do anything you want just..let me talk to him first please." "Come on Al, look at her. It's kinda adorable right now." "Ok ok. But here, at least put one of the gowns on first." She said, grabbing a hospital gown. "Come on Frisk!" Undyne grinned, helping her in the gown, we will take the elevator. If I had to guess he's at his house." They noticed the elevator had a new few systems, able to go straight up to the surface. Her phone started ringing and she tried to answer it, but was unable too. "I can't feel alot of my body." "You've been asleep for a while, it'll take a bit." The doors opened to a house that looked similar to Undyne's before it was burned down. Frisk knelt down slightly, picking up a magazine. "Baby articles? Alphys are you?!" The dinosaur blushed, shaking her head. "Nope!"
Frisk looked over at Undyne who turned slightly, lifting up her 'Egg Mama' shirt. "Undyne?! That's so great! How did you two?" Undyne smiled widely and Alphys blushed, "No no. It was science..and a little magic." She winked. "Can I?" "Sure. There's not much of an egg yet." Frisk put her hands on Undyne's small protruding stomach. "Woowie." She smiled brightly. "I'm so happy for you two." Undyne blushed slightly. "Well come on kid! Let's go find that lazy bones." Frisk covered her eyes as she blocked the lights sun. She hadn't seen it in so long already, and having just woken up it was awful. "This village?" "It's a monster village. Many of them are still scared of humans so they stay up here, close to the entrance of the Underground. You won't believe it. The human government has actually been very kind to us. Papyrus has been very..well. great with humans. They all love him. He's the official ambassador, and he took advantage of it. And Toriel has a wonderful school. Many humans want to live along side monsters, so humans and monster children go to her classes. They love her to death..of course, she always brings pie in." They stopped in front of a large house. "Wow." "Yeah. And Sans still leaves his socks everywhere." Alphys laughed. "We should knock fi..hey! Frisk wait!" Alphys tried to stop the skeleton girl but she rushed ahead, tripping and stumbling and opened the front door. "Sans!?" She looked about. "Sans?" "Yo Paps?! Is ya home?" "UNDYNE IS THAT YOU? GREAT TIMING. IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL I SHOULD MAKE FOR THE BABY? CAN BABIES HAVE SPAGHETTI?" "Papyrus! Where's Sans!" Frisk yelled and he came from the kitchen, covered in sauce. "HE HAD TO GO OUT AND GET SOMETHING FOR..FRISK?!" "Where is he?! I have to tell him yes." "WHAT?" "I do! I will!" Papyrus ran over, twirling Frisk. "WOWIE! HE FINALLY ASKED! I WILL TAKE YOU TO HIM. HE'S ACTUALLY VERY SENTIMENTAL AND I CAN PROBABLY GUESS WHERE HE IS!" "Papyrus what is going on?" Undyne stood confused. "HOLD DOWN THE FORT. I HAVE TO HELP MY FUTURE SISTER IN LAW! COME FRISK!" She laughed as Papyrus suddenly swept her up, placing her on his back and took off running. "Sister in?" Alphys blushed and Undyne's eye widened as she grabbed her wife. "Marriage?! Did Sans ask? Finally?!"
"COME. I KNOW A SHORT CUT. WE WILL TAKE THE ELEVATOR OF ALPHYS LAB!" He ran swiftly, causing her to laugh. "Papyrus! I didn't know you were so fast!" "YOU ARE FAMILY NOW! CALL ME PAPS!" "Paps?" "THE GREAT PAPS!" "Uh..ok Great Paps." "YES!" They kept running down stairs, through the Hotlands before reaching the river where the River Boat rider lived. "Need to go to Snowdin?" "YES! PRONTO!" "Ah. Is that mean to go fast?" "YES PLEASE. " "Yes please!" The boat lifted up on four legs and went off, creating waves in the river, despite it going the other way. "Papyrus." "YES HUMAN?" "I'm not a human anymore." "YES THAT IS TRUE..OK FRISK? WHAT IS IT?" "Is it ok? I mean..I know you and your brother are super close..I don't want you to feel like I'm...stepping in." "OF COURSE NOT! YOUR..SEE MY BROTHER HAS SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION FOR A LONG TIME. SURE HE SMILES, BUT WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO YOU ON THE PHONE..HE HAD A REAL SMILE. I'VE ONLY SEEN IT WHEN HE TALKS TO ME. THAT'S WHEN I KNEW YOU WERE A SPECIAL HUMAN. DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS!" "Really?" "REALLY REALLY. THE GREAT PAPAYRUS DOESN'T LIE! I AM HAPPY THAT YOU WANT TO MARRY MY BROTHER. IT WOULD MAKE HIM SO HAPPY AND MAKE ME HAPPY TO SEE HIM HAPPY. HE'S ALWAYS...DONE EVERYTHING FOR ME. I COULD NEVER DO AS MUCH FOR HIM. BUT THIS TIME, I CAN MAKE SURE THAT I CAN BRING YOU TO HIM BEFORE HE GIVES UP AGAIN!" "Paps." Her arms clenched tighter around his neck. "Thank you." Before they knew it, the boat slowed down to a stop, reaching the beautiful snowy village. "COME ALONG FRISK!" "Ok!" She laughed as she bounced on his back. Her phone started ringing again and she struggled to pick it up as it fell to the ground. "Oh no." "DON'T WORRY!" He quickly ran around in a circled grabbing it and handed it to her. "Sans keeps calling..but my body is still half asleep. I can't use my hands very well."
He slowed down, walking out into the snow, seeing the snow fall. "THIS IS WHERE WE HAD ALL OUR PUZZLES WASN'T IT FRISK?!" "Yes! I hope we can have a lot more in the future." "WE CAN. THE CHILDREN IN MISS LADY TORIEL LOVES THEM!" He stopped in front of the bridge just before the ruins forest. "WHAT IS YOUR HEART DOING?" She held her hand over her chest, seeing it glow slightly..it was barley half red..the other half was a grayish blue. "What happened to my soul?" "OH. MY BROTHER DONATED BITS OF HIS TO HELP. ISN'T THAT SO COOL. I DON"T UNDERSTAND HOW BUT HE LOVES THAT MAMBO JUMBO SCI FI STUFF!" "Sans did?" Her eye sockets teared up, watching the gentle glow get stronger. "Is he here?" "HE SHOULD BE." The phone began ringing again as Frisk walked about, barley able to lift her feet in the snow. "Sans? Sans where are you? Please don't hang up again.." She struggled the answer the phone and Papyrus held out his hand, "ALLOW ME." He answered the phone, clearing his voice and excitedly answered. "SANS YOU LAZY BONES. GET OUT HERE AND PROPERLY PURPOSE TO MY FUTURE SISTER IN LAW. OVER THE PHONE REALLY? THAT IS SO LAZY! HERE. MAYBE YOU CAN TALK TO HIM." Frisk grabbed the phone, slipping slightly. "Sans? Sans please don't hang up again..I..I know it must be hard. I keep coming back. It's unfair to you. I can't keep doing this to you..but I want you to know that answer is yes..to your last message..I will marry you if you'd still like, but I can also let you go. I'd just be happy to hear you again." Frisk tried to walk forward and slipped, sliding down towards the crevice that the bridge hovered over. "FRISK!" Papyrus reached out to grab her but she vanished and appeared just before the bridge. "i guess i litterly, swept you off your feet...uh...your holding way too tight." She opened her eyes, seeing Sans standing there, holding her in his arms. He started down at her and hands clenched tighter around her. "are you here?" "I'm not down there now thanks to you." "SANS! DO IT NOW! NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME! COME ON!"
"Frisk..." "I..um..I got all your messages..I listened to them as many as I could..I remember you all visiting..I remember you being there almost every day for a long time...Did you really? Um..my soul...?" "Frisk...will you marry me?" "I don't think I could be even more merry then I am right now just seeing you." "really kid?" "Yes Sans!" She reached up to hug him, but the weight of her slightly taller body was too much and knocked him over, they both collapsed on the snow. He started laughing causing her to laugh as well, their hearts glowing in unison. His was a bright blue with a tinge of red in the corner. "Sans. I love you. I always have." 'i know ki...i know Frisk..I love you too." "Hey. Whats white, blue and wet all over?" "what?" "You are." She wiped some tears from his eyes. He didn't care and kept laughing before they were both suddenly swept up by Papyrus. "THIS IS PERFECT! WE ARE ALL GONNA BE A FAMILY RIGHT?! YOU ME AND FRISK?" "Yes Paps." "we will be a bone-ified family." 'SANS." "Only if you'll be there when we are joint together." "FRISK! NO NOT YOU TOO!" "don't worry paps. you gotta hand it to her. she's pretty great." "WHAT?!" "Don't worry. You'll, finger it out." "I WILL DROP YOU TWO!" He couldn't help but tear up, holding them both close. "I LOVE YOU GUYS. YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF HER SANS." "paps..." "YOOO!" They looked across the bridge, seeing Undyne and Alphys there. "Did she?!" She yelled across the bridge and Sans blushed slightly, taking off his jacket and wrapped it around Frisk. "check the pocket." She reached in, pulling out a tiny heart ring. The heart was made of little silver bones. "it's..why i wasn't there when she shut the machines off..i thought maybe you could alteast have this..should you um.." "I don't even care anymore! Your here.. I'm here. I love you and I still can't feel my body much though." Undyne ran over, hugging all of them tightly, dragging Alphys in for a group hug.
"SANS." "i'm fine." "SANS! YOU ARE PACING!" "no i'm not." He stared over at his brother who was wearing a fancy tuxedo. "hey. you pull that off great." "IM NOT EVEN GETTING MARRIED AND YOU LOOK SO...LAZY!" Sans stared down at his lose collar shirt tucked under a vest and long pants. "hey, it's casual..ish. i think it's pretty, style ish." "I HOPE YOU DIDN'T WRITE JOKES FOR ASGORE EITHER!" "nah, he doesn't find them punny." "NEYHHHH!" Undyne entered the room, "Hey come on. This is the last thing you need to be late for." His phone started ringing and he checked the number laughing, answering it. Undyne pushed the taller brother out. "sup kid?" "Do we really have to do this?" "yes." "Can't I be lazy this time?" "nope. this is gonna happen nicely so buck up kid, don't want Paps to come give you the horns." Frisk giggled on the other side. "Ok. ok. I'll see you out here then." "your already there?!" "Maybe. Didn't want to be late. Might look like I chickened out, flew the coup." "god your beautiful." He tensed up, taking a deep breath and opening up the doors. He laughed and walked casually down the aisle, waving to the people from Grillzbys. He snapped his fingers at Undyne, who snapped her fingers back. Alphys smiled, waving, holding a large egg in her lap, wrapped in a blanket. "SANS COME ON. I KNOW YOUR JUST STALLING." "i don't know. i think gravity is increasing." "SANS NO." "it's been doing it all day." He stopped, laying halfway to the ground, Papyrus holding him up until he saw her standing there. Frisk was in a beautiful white and red gown, covered in flowers and designs. In an irony, they felt Day of the Dead would make a wonderful wedding day. Her head was covered in large golden and red and blue flowers on her head, with a veil running down the back. "It's uh..cheesy huh? Mettaton made it." "Oh darling, it's so beautiful though!" He called from the seats. He walked over, staring up at her. "I love you a skelet-ton Sans. I didn't..I somewhat didn't think that the tale of soulmates was true." "i like to think of us as skullmates." He took her hands and they started laughing, continuing pun after pun. Asgore stood there, ready to actually marry them and gave up. "Forget it. You two are married. Happy puns together." They laughed, resting their heads against each other, their mix matched colored souls glowing together.
Forever, never worrying about thinking about resetting again.
