"So, is this a bar?" Cherry asked curiously about Grillby's.

"Yup, but it's kid friendly until 10:00 PM." Sans grinned.

Grillby was a tall flame-like monster and he was currently cleaning a glass.

"Oh, boy..." Cherry sighed as she walked in with Frisk after they followed Sans.

Sans grinned and led them right up to the bar. Grillby watched them all silently. Cherry and Frisk followed after since Sans knew his way around here.

"Take a seat." Sans advised, secretly hoping one of them would sit on the stool right next to him.

Cherry unfortunately dashed that as she placed Frisk between her and the skeleton. As Frisk was sat down, a large farting sound ripped through the bar. Sans laughed, that was the only reason he wanted someone to sit next to him, at the moment at least.

"Sans?" Cherry glanced at the joking skeleton as she expected that since their first meeting.

Sans laughed. "Hey, you have to be careful... People love to pull pranks around here." he said with a shrug, as if it wasn't just him.

Frisk responded with an emotionless gaze as usual.

"Guess it's April 1st year round here..." Cherry rolled her eyes with a small chuckle.

Sans smirked. "Maybe... Look, what would you both like to eat?" he asked. Two buttons appeared before them, one said Burger and one said Chips.

"Hmm... What kind of burger?" Cherry asked curiously.

"Just a burger." Sans shrugged.

Grillby got out a notepad to take their order.

"I'll take that then I guess." Cherry said with a small shrug back, if there was anything she didn't like, she could just pick it out like she gave her father pickles.

Frisk pushed the chips button.

Sans nodded and ordered for them all. "Two burgs and one fries." he ordered.

Grillby nodded and went off to get their meals. Frisk nodded in agreement.

"Thanks." Cherry told Grillby.

Sans ruffled Frisk's hair. "Hey... I have something to ask you..." he said, seriously.

Cherry looked over curiously while Frisk also looked up to Sans.

"You haven't heard of any golden or talking flowers, have you?" Sans asked.

Frisk seemed to shift at that.

"Actually, we met Flowey when we first came here." Cherry admitted.

"Flowey?" Sans asked, turning his head sharply to face them. He hadn't expected that, though he was suspecting that.

"That was the flower we saw..." Cherry explained. "He was nice at first until he gave us 'friendliness pellets'."

"And... Did anything else seem... Strange to you... Either of you?" Sans asked.

"Besides everything else here...?" Cherry hid a smirk.

Sans was looking at her seriously, this wasn't actually a joking matter.

"Toriel saved us though." Cherry then said after Flowey had been taken care of the first time around.

Sans nodded, keeping quiet as he listened.

"After we left Toriel, we ended up here." Cherry soon concluded.

"Well... I noticed your friend's soul is different to the others..." Sans said quietly, hoping it was just because she had two dominant traits, he didn't want her to hurt his brother if his bad suspicion was correct.

"That, I don't know about actually." Cherry had to admit.

"Did anything strange happen when you fell down here?" Sans asked.

"You'd have to be more specific." Cherry replied, mostly serious as this place was strange enough as it was.

"As in, anything strange that hadn't happened before you came to this world..." Sans said, he understood this world would be strange to them, but he didn't mean that.

"Katie did seem different somehow..." Cherry commented. "She seemed... Violent."

"Oh?" Sans asked quietly.

"She just seemed... Dark..." Cherry shrugged. "Not her usual self, she's usually nice and sweet to me."

Frisk nodded in agreement.

"That locket around her neck... Did she have that before you fell?" Sans finally asked.

Cherry paused to think about it. "I don't think so."

Sans' pupils disappeared. "I hoped it wasn't that..." he sighed.

"Uh...?" Cherry fell on the edge now.

Just before Sans could explain, Grillby returned with the food. "Thanks, Grillbz," he grinned. "Do either of you want ketchup?" he asked Frisk and Cherry.

Frisk pointed to their fries to have ketchup with them.

"Here you go, kiddo." Sans smiled, handing it over, he had unscrewed the lid slightly though for a prank.

Frisk took the ketchup with a thankful nod so they could have fries and ketchup. Cherry got ready to eat her burger then. Sans watched carefully with a smirk. Grillby had known what would happen so had made an extra plate that he could easily fetch for the kid. Frisk took the other plate with a small nod. Cherry rolled her eyes as she bit into her burger, but at least there was an extra order of fries for Frisk.

Sans laughed as the ketchup covered the old plate of fries. He grinned to Grillby. Grillby merely gave Sans another bottle of ketchup and took Frisk's old plate away, the new one having just the right amount of ketchup. Frisk then began to eat the fries while Cherry ate her burger, she just hoped Katie was all right to be alone with Papyrus. Sans quietly started to speak about Chara, explaining what might've happened. Cherry listened curiously about the Chara as this seemed very important.

Sans explained Chara was a human who first fell to the Underground but ended up dying due to eating the golden flowers, and then had tried to do bad stuff like killing people in the Underground. Though he kept it lighter to not upset Frisk. He did suggest they went back to his and Papyrus' home to check on the two though, and held out his hands to take them on one of his shortcuts to get there. Cherry took this all in the best that she could, it was a bit overwhelming and she just hoped Katie wouldn't get hurt. Frisk took Cherry's hand as they walked.


Sans teleported them to inside his house and then ran up the stairs and barging into his brother's room after hearing a sound he had never heard before. Cherry had mixed feelings as she held Frisk's hand.

Sans looked at Cherry and Frisk. "Stay there." he told them and then headed up towards his brother's room.

Cherry held Frisk in her arms then. "Thanks, Sans."

Sans nodded. Cherry then stayed with Frisk in case this was dangerous.


"Perhaps you'd like to know my secret." Papyrus replied.

Katie looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "A secret?" she asked him.

"A very special secret for you, my little one~" Papyrus smirked.

"Oh?" Katie asked with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"Find it and it shall be yours~" Papyrus bribed.

Katie giggled with a smirk and came back over, reaching up to try and get to his hat first. Sans turned the doorknob, preparing to open the door. Papyrus smirked down to Katie.

"Why are you so tall?" Katie pouted as he fingers barely skimmed his hat. She had to go up on tiptoes and had just managed to grip onto the rim.

Sans opened the door then. "Is everything alright?" he asked.

"SANS!" Papyrus screeched.

Katie gasped and went off balance in surprise. "Ah!" she yelped.

"What is it, Sans, did you pick up that sock?" Papyrus asked as he tried to get his brother out of the room without causing suspicion.

Katie just managed to save herself from falling though.

"No, I came to make sure everything was okay." Sans said.

"We're fine." Papyrus told Sans even though he was holding Katie more in a lustful way than a villainous way.

Katie blushed.

"Uh, right... If I hear anything I shouldn't, I'm breaking you two apart." Sans warned then, his left eye flashing blue in warning as he looked at Katie. He then turned and left them to it, not shutting the door though that was usual for him.

Papyrus was mostly irked with Sans and felt nervous that he and Katie had been exposed like this. The voice told Katie to point at the door, and when she did it shut carefully and locked. Katie blinked in surprise, but then looked up at Papyrus.


Cherry looked around as Frisk checked out the TV.

"Hey, you guys make yourselves at home." Sans grinned.

Cherry and Frisk looked over.

"Everything okay up there?" Cherry asked.

"Uh, yeah... Though I think we should watch some TV..." Sans said. Yes, he didn't really trust them together alone, but he'd rather have Paps be happy.

Frisk sat on their knees in front of the TV while Cherry and Sans shared the couch. Sans put the TV onto a show that was kid friendly, but also had jokes that adults could appreciate. Frisk gave a small smile in approval. Cherry crossed her legs and got comfortable on the couch.
