"hey you two. are you alright now ash?" Sans said, as the pair came through the front door. He was lying on the sofa watching the TV.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE AT YOUR POST!"

"i'm taking a break."

Ashley sniggered, taking off her blue jumper.

"TONIGHT ASHLEY IS STAYING WITH US!" Declared Papyrus.

Sans grinned at Ashley.

"cool."

Then a noise erupted from Ashley's stomach and her face turned a shade of crimson.

"i'm guessing you're hungry. do you want me to pick something from grillby's?"

"SANS! I WILL NOT LET MY FRIEND EAT FROM THAT GREASY DUMP!"

Sans shrugged and Ashley pouted.

"I like their coffee." She mumbled.

"WE SHALL HAVE SOME OF MY SPAGHETTI!" Papyrus declared.

"As much as I love your spaghetti deary, how about I order a takeaway? If I eat your amazing spaghetti, there will be none left for tommorow!" Reasoned Ashley.

"OKAY THEN! WE'LL ORDER A PIZZA!"

Ashley smirked at how easy it was to persuade Papyrus. But it also left her a little concerned.

"the menu's in my bedroom." Sans said.

"WHAT IS IT DOING THERE?"

"i dunno, why don'tcha go ask it?" Replied the short skeleton with a grin. Papyrus rolled his eyes and stormed up stairs.

"nice way of talking him out of the spaghetti. i thought you liked it though?"

Ashley smiled at him and sat down on the couch, Sans now sat up.

"I think's it's clear that you… would prefer something else to eat, and I'm not sure about you, but I want a pizza!"

Sans chuckled. He loved how kind she was. He knew she was perfect for his brother. Undyne had previously sent him a text saying they had kissed and even tagged a picture of it happening. At first, Sans was concerned and even a little mad, but he knew Ashley would treat him well. Papyrus would talk non stop about Ashley at home, and had made it quite clear to everyone that he had a crush on her. Well, everyone but her.

"Hey Ash?" He asked. She turned and smiled at him.

"Yeah Sans?"

The skeleton's eyes went dark, and Ashley's blood ran cold.

"you break papyrus' heart and i'll dust you."

Ashley felt like crying, and she let out a gulp. She knew Sans was capable of a lot, but she had never been more terrified. When he had previously shouted at, she had been more upset than afraid. But now he somehow knew of their kiss. Ashley felt like she needed to have a stern talk to a certain fish lady about that.

"I'VE GOT THE MENU!" A voice sounded out, making Ashley look up and grin, sighing inwardly.

"Cool! What do you guys want? I'll order!" Chirped Ashley.

"nah, we can pay."

"OF COURSE! I WILL NOT LET MY GIRLFRIEND PAY!"

Ashley's face blew up red, as did Paps'. He covered his mouth and glanced over to Sans. He shrugged.

"i'm cool with it."

"I'd love to be your girlfriend!" Exclaimed Ashley, her face still hot.

Papyrus' face turned into one of complete cuteness and kawaii.

"REALLY? WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A DATE YET!"

Ashley stood up and approached the skeleton. She had little hearts in her eyes, and her tail was going crazy. Sans tried his best not to laugh.

"I don't need to go on a date with you to realise you are an amazing monster, and I would trust you with my life. I love you so much!"

She ran and hugged him. He could bearly contain his happiness and squealed.

"this sounds way too much like a soppy romance movie or book." Commented Sans.

"SANS YOU RUINED THE MOOD!"

"Sorry, it's true. I get super crazy and my emotions take over sometimes." Ashley said, sheepishly.

"THAT'S ALRIGHT! I LOVE YOU FOR YOU!"

Ashley had a ham and pinapple pizza, whilst Papyrus had a cheese one and Sans had a meat lovers. They were watching a Mettaton movie, and the three monsters had mixed reactions. Papyrus was rambling about how much he loved and looked up to Mettaton. Ashley would have been jealous if it wasn't for her skelebae holding her hand the entire time. She personally didn't find his movies appealing but respected the robot. He had gone from having nothing to super stardom. But she didn't like that he had practically abandoned Napstablook. Sans just didn't like the robot full stop. He nicknamed him 'the calculator' which resulted in laughs from Ashley.

After a few movies, Ashley and Sans had had enough and they just played some low quality video games they had found in the garbage. Ashley was a natural at them, which annoyed Sans to no end. They would both spend hours just battling each other. They drew each time. Papyrus was feeling left out, so Ashley let him join her 'team' and he got the position as cheerleader.

"GO ASHLEY!" He would cry.

"you're going to go against your own brother?" Sans asked in mock hurt.

"YOU ALWAYS BEAT ME! IF I JOIN WITH ASHLEY I CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO BEAT YOU!"

Ashley snorted, whilst Sans pouted. Ashley wasn't sure how he could do that without lips, but she didn't care.

The game came down to both of them at 99 points. They just had to race to the finish line to win. It was a pretty bad platform game, but Ashley thought it was a lot better than watching the calculator. It was so clutch, both of them so close to winning.

"GO ASHLEY, MY GIRLFRIEND!"

Ashley felt a sudden jolt of determination. She smashed her control and crossed the finish line. Sans cried in protest and Ashley screamed in excitement.

"Yes!" She exclaimed. Papyrus was cuddling and squeezing her tightly.

"i dunno how but you cheated." Muttered Sans, like a kid who didn't get his own way.

"I didn't know you were such a bad loser, Sans." Chuckled the dog monster.

"well to be fair i never usually lose." Reasoned the stout skeleton. Ashley giggled.

Both skeletons had gone to bad, and left Ashley on the lumpy couch. Of course both had protested, but Ashley managed to pursuade them to let her sleep there. It was uncomfortable, but Ashley had slept on worse. She was tossing and turning relentlessly, but not due to the bad furniture.

"Stop…" She murmered.

"You are nothing but a loser!" A monster cried. She was back at school, or hell as she called it.

"Yeah! Why don't you go crying to you're mommy and daddy? Wait, you don't have them! They killed themselves because you are awful!"

Then the scenary shifted to a black void. Her grandmother appeared. She was crumbling apart.

"Why did you let me die? You could have saved me! If you hadn't of abandoned me! I am ashamed to be your grandmother! You're disowned."

"STOP!" Cried Ashley, holding her ears. She couldn't take it anymore.

Then a creepy voice took over her mind, as her grandmother had completely disapeared.

"bUt ShE ISn't GonE, Is She? SHE iS FiNe. PeOpLE ArE JUsT beIng SeCrATivE. ESPecialLY SaNS. He KNOwS I'M STilL HeRE…"

"Who are you?!" Ashley cried out, tears sreaming down her cheeks.

A dark figure materialised in front of her, making her stumble back.

"I Am YoUR WOrsT NiGHtmaRe."

A gaster blaster appeared, it's snout aimed at her. It fired out a white beam, which lead to Ashley crying in protest.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"ASHLEY! ASHLEY!" A voice awoke her from the nightmare. She saw the two skeletons looking at her with concern

She flinched in fear as she saw the same guy in the two skeletons. She stumbled back, still seeing the creepy guy's face.

"S-Stay away!" She cried, using her magic to create a force field.

"ASHLEY!" Papyrus cried out, tears forming in his sockets. She looked at him again, and saw her loveable boyfriend's face override the creepy one. The force field died down, and she started sobbing.

"I'm s-so s-s-sorry!" She said.

The two brothers looked at each other. Sans left the scene, knowing his brother had this covered.

"It is alright Ashley. Everyone has nightmares. Mind telling me what your's was about?"

Ashley couldn't believe her ears. Paps' wasn't shouting or even talking loudly. It kind of creeped the girl out, but it was also comforting. She nodded slightly, and gasped when Papyrus whipped her up and on the couch.

"It was a mix really. The first part was just about the bullying I went through when I was young. The usual stuff. The second part was about my grandmother."

Ashley found this part harder to explain.

"She was telling me… it was my fault she died."

Papyrus gasped.

"BUT IT WASN'T!"

"I don't always think that's false." Muttered Ashley, bearly audible. But the tall skeleton heard it. He hugged her tightly and let her rest her head on his chest. She started wailing.

"I know it sounds dumb but I was a stressful kid to handle. And if I maybe had been a more considerate kid maybe she wouldn't have died that young."

"I DON'T WANT TO SOUND MEAN, BUT THAT IS RIDULOUS. AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS, YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHEN SHE WOULD… PASS AWAY AND YOU COULDN'T CONTROL THAT. WHY WORRY ABOUT IT NOW? SHE WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO BE UPSET FOREVER."

Papyrus may have seemed like a goofball on the surface, but he was suprisingly full of wisdom. It just made her cry more; he was so perfect. She looked up at him and licked his cheek. That was the same as a quick kiss for dogs. Papyrus turned orange.

"NYEH! I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, BUT IT'S KINDA OF SUBJECT."

"Shoot."

"WHY DO YOU HAVE STAGE FRIGHT?"

"Oh. Well I can tell you that."

The tall skeleton was surprised at how fast she was talking about this.

"When I was seven I was in a school play. I was saying my lines as normal and singing. But then, some kids threw water at me and cried 'look it's a wet dog!' Everyone laughed and I was humiliated. It was right in the middle of my song as well. After that, I would always slip up on my songs when the two kids would look at me weird. I guess I just gave up."

Papyrus felt so bad for Ashley. She had been through too much.

"SO YOU GAVE UP ON SINGING BECAUSE OF TWO BULLIES?" Papyrus asked.

"Yeah." Sniffed Ashley, tears forming in her eyes. She turned away.

"I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT."

"I know Paps."

She snuggled closer to Papyrus and he let her placed her head down on him. She started to nuzzled his neck before drifting asleep.

"I love you Papyrus. I love you a skeleton."

"IF YOU WEREN'T MY GIRLFRIEND I WOULD SLAP YOU!"

Ashley fell asleep laughing softly.
