Papyrus came into the living room and said when he saw Pearl "oh hello there human friend. Glad you have come. For I the Great Papyrus have made spaghetti for the two of you." Sans laugh saying "Paps, Pearl don't need food to survive at all." Papyrus eyes sockets widened and ask "what do you mean Sans? I thought humans suppose to eat to survive like we do." Sans said "that may be true for humans but Pearl don't because she's a gem and gems don't need to eat." Papyrus scratch his head in confusion. Pearl didn't look up at Papyrus, she was more focus on Steven. Sans turn and said "but for Steven he's a half human so I suppose he need to eat. Right now he needs rest." Papyrus sigh seeing how worry Pearl is for Steven. Papyrus look at Sans and ask "how long do you think the human going to sleep?" Sans look at Steven and said "I don't know bro, probably a while." Papyrus sighs saying "poor human."

Night time came and the skeleton brothers were getting ready for bed. Pearl sat down on the chair not far from Steven and watch to see if Steven is going to wake up. She happen to hear Papyrus and Sans walking down the stairs. She look up to see the two skeletons coming up to Steven to see if he's awake. Sans sighs saying "I figure it would be a while." Papyrus look at Sans asking "do you think the human won't be awake till morning?" Sans nods saying "yeah, I think he'll be sleeping through the night." Pearl sighs and Sans could see how worried she was. Papyrus said before leaving "well good night Sans, human's friend." Pearl didn't know why Papyrus wouldn't call her by her name or Steven's name. She didn't ask anyways. Papyrus went up the stairs and went into his room making sure he shut the door behind him. Sans turn to Pearl and said "welp better get to bed myself, I suppose you don't need no sleep either." Pearl shook her head and Sans was about to leave when Pearl stop him, "Sans, wait." Sans turn to face Pearl and ask "what's wrong?" Pearl look at Sans and ask "how did you knew about us Crystal Gems? When I mention about Rose, you froze or something? Why?" Sans look away for a moment then walk up to Pearl and stood in front of her.

Sans gave a huge sigh saying "welp better tell ya sooner or later huh? Anyways it all started when I was a youngster before Paps was even born."


Start of Flashback…

Sans was with his father in the royal laboratory. He look at all the books and the machine his father had in the lab. His father wearing a long white coat, black shoes, has a scar on his right eye socket was working on a new project for the king. Sans look at his father asking "daddy, can I go play with Asriel?" Sans' father turn and said "no Sans, you can play with Asriel when I'm done making this blueprint to show to the king." Sans sighs saying "oh okay, daddy." Sans went back to look at some books. He sat down and began to read a book about souls, for a little kid, he was smarter for his age. Sans was able to catch on quickly with lots of things around him, sometimes he teach himself to do things. When he was born he was walking in two days after his birth and he started to talk a day after. Which of course impress both of his parents.

Though Sans love learning about the humans souls he was bored. He wanted to play with the king's son. So he got up and without letting his father know he sneak out of the laboratory and ran off to find Asriel, prince of the Underground. He was running so fast that he didn't even watch where he was going. He didn't look in front of him when he bump into a pillar which cause him to knock out. Sans began to see stars going round in circles. He then heard a female's voice asking "oh are you alright, little one?" It took Sans a while to get himself in focus, once he did there stood in front of him a very tall lady with long curly pink hair, pale skin, wearing a long white dress a pink star in the middle with a pink gem in it. The lady smiles asking "do you need any help of getting up?" Sans let the lady help him up and when he stood up, he ask "who are you?" He never remember seeing this lady in the Underground before especially in Asgore's kingdom.

The lady smiles saying "I'm Rose Quartz, the leader of the Crystal Gems." Sans tilts his head asking "what is the Crystal Gems?" Rose giggles saying "that is who I am and along with my two others gems." Sans nods but a bit confused of what she means. Rose ask "what is your name little one?" Sans was about to tell Rose his name when his father's voice was heard, "there you are young man!" Sans turn to see his father running up to him and picking him up. His father carry Sans in his arms and scorn Sans for running off. Sans apologize for making his father worry about him. Rose smiles asking "oh is this you son, Dr. Gaster?" Gaster look up and nods saying "indeed, this is my son Sans. He's the curious one and get's himself in trouble." Sans look up at his father then to Rose. Rose giggle saying "he's a cutie." Sans look at his father and ask "you know who she is?" Gaster nods saying "she's a very good friend to King Asgore." Rose nods saying "indeed, me and him both work together when necessary." Sans asked while tilting his head "will I see you again?" Rose laughs saying "of course, I'm always not far from the King's family."

Just then a young goat boy with floppy ears, wearing a green with one stripe sweatshirt and brown pants saw Sans and ask looking at Gaster, "Dr. Gaster, can I play with Sans?" Gaster look down at Sans and nods as he let Sans down. Sans thank his father for letting him play with Asriel. The two boys ran off to the king's throne room. Rose and Gaster happily watch their kids go play with each other.

End of Flashback…


"So afterwards Dad told me all about you gems and how you gems do things much different than monsters and humans." Pearl nods and ask "so if Rose was able to come here why didn't she took us here in the first place?" Sans explain "well ever since the death of the King's two kids, he and Rose kinda broke their friendship well the king did. I really don't have any idea what came down but Rose never return. I'm kinda surprise she didn't tell you gems about it." Pearl agreed, "I know, she always have told me every secrets she has. I was her close friend, we were so close and always had fought together." Sans thought a moment then said "you know Rose did told me about you though she never said your name. Were you the one who train yourself to fight so you can protect her?" Pearl nods saying "I am. I swear to never lose her but I lost her on the day Steven was born." Sans nods saying "hmm… so Steven is the son of Rose Quartz?" Pearl nods as Sans sighs saying "gee, let's see if he wakes up tomorrow, if not then he might have to go to Alphys."

Pearl look at Sans and ask "who's Alphys?" Sans said "oh she's a royal scientist, ever since dad mysteriously disappear she's taken his place." Pearl nod a little, look towards Steven who's still pass out on the couch. Sans said as he walk to the stairs, "welp see ya in the morning, hope the kid gets well soon." Pearl nods saying "you too, Sans." Sans walk up the stairs and went into his room. He slowly walk into his room, locked his door and went to his messy bed. Pearl look at Steven before she sat back in the chair and waited to see if maybe Steven would wake up earlier than expected.


Arthur Note: I wanted to have a little flashback of Sans as a little baby bones. Just to let you know that I forgot to mention in the flashback story, Sans was wearing a blue and white stripe shirt. Since kids in the Underground wear a stripe shirt, thought Sans was wearing a stripe shirt when he was a kid. Anyways this isn't the only flashback I'm going to have in this story. There is going to be another one but a long ways away. Not telling you when or what's that about. I'll ruin the story. Again thanks for reading!
