A/N: Okay, so in last chapter, the Skelebros from the Underswap AU came through the wormhole. I'm planning on keeping them around because Underswap is awesome, and USwap Sans is adorable. (plus, Comic Papyrus) I will also add in a few more characters from the AU's I've searched and researched, but they'll be there for comedy and stuff for purely screwing around. Like...Goopy Soul Frisk, or some characters from Outertale or Underfell. I gotta say, Underfell God of Hyperdeath Asriel art looks awesome. Go search it up. Seriously, this stuff is amazing. Last little thing, there's a fan game out there being worked on called Overtale, which takes place 15 years after the True Pacifist ending of Undertale, with the main protagonist, Asriel journeying across the surface to do...something...I haven't seen anything about the story other than that, and speculations about lines given for actors on the website CastingCallClub. Can't use URLs so just go search it. I guarantee you'll find it. I think there's still 5 other roles left...I'm not sure.


*You wake in the library, groggily looking around. Your eyes fall on Jaune, who you've agreed to help. How, you still have to figure out. The thought of how you'll pull it off makes you shake nervously. Despite that, you are filled with Determination.

"Hey, Frisk. Wake up. We gotta get to breakfast. We'll be late to get food," Jaune said, patting me on the back as way of thanks for my help.

"Okay, I guess we should get going. You can get Cardin the essays. I'll be up ahead."

"Right. See you then," he said.

Bzzzzt. Bzzzzt. Bzzzzt.

"Huh? Oh! That's my scroll!" Jaune said, searching around for the scroll.

"It looks like a voice message from Cardin," I pointed out.

"Oh, great...look, you go on to lunch and I'll see what he wants."

I walked away, wishing him luck and hearing the beginnings of a strange task.

"I'm gonna need ya to nab a nest of angry Rapier Wasps. It's very important for them to have long stingers," said the voice mail.

I heard Jaune groaning as I walked away.

*You feel sorry for your friend and that it's too late to walk back and help him. Knowing he has a minor allergic reaction to those specific kind of wasp worries you, but you carry on. If your time in the underground has taught you anything, it's that the world won't wait for you to get to it. Your movement speed is decreased in areas adjacent to Beacon academy for the time being.


The air was full of the wondrous smells of the forest. Not that I could smell anything. The leaves falling, the sap dripping, the birds chirping. On beautiful days like this one, it seemed to be the perfect time for something terrible to happen. Call it a hunch, but this skeleton's spine was tingling just thinking about what might happen...and that hunch involved Frisk and her new friend, Jaune.

"so, paps, whaddya think is goin' on with frisk and her friend?" I said.

"i dunno, sans, but whatever's goin' on, i don't like how it feels. you feel it too?" Papyrus' double responded.

"yeah. i feel it. feels like something or someone is gonna die."

As we walked, the leaves continued falling around us, and the teacher lectured us about staying safe. Now, I wasn't worried about myself, I knew I could take care, but Frisk might have been in some danger if she was with that Jaune kid. His whole goof-off know-nothing shtick was bad business, and I knew he was in something bad...real bad...and he was in it real deep.

I kept walking, trying not to think about it, as my double started shouting about adventure and tree sap. What a big sap, am I right?

Then we heard a roar as we wandered into the forest.

Soon enough, the other members of Cardin Winchester's team came running.

"URSA! URSA! THAT'S A BIG URSA!"

"where?" said Papyrus' double, grabbing the kid by the collar as his left eye-socket flashed orange.

"WITH CARDIN AND THAT LOSER, ARC. THAT GIRL IS WITH HIM. THE ONE YOU GUYS HANG OUT WITH."

Lo and behold, what happens, but something bad? My hunch was right after all.

We ran to the clearing and found Frisk on the side, tending to Jaune, who was bleeding heavily, and Cardin, trying desperately and failing to fight off an Ursa with a stump of his broken weapon.

"so, paps, you ready to restart the day? 'cause i got the strangest feeling i know what frisk is gonna do next."

"prep for "save file" loading?"

"yep."


I woke with a start, sweating all over, sitting at a desk with a mug of coffee next to my hand.

"Drink up, Frisk, you're gonna need it if we're gonna make it through today. We've got a big plan ahead of us for the trip," I heard Jaune say.

No, that couldn't be right. I'm not here, I'm in the forever fall forest with Jaune and Cardin, fighting to keep Jaune alive. Jaune should be dead by now.

"Jaune."

"Yeah?"

"I've been here before."

"Well, yeah. You were here with me last night doing those essays for Cardin."

"No, I mean I've been right here in this exact situation with you at the same time of day on this exact day."

"What? You're crazy. That's not possible!"

"Not by normal means. Your partner, Pyrrha, she told you about semblances, right?"

"Semblances?"

"Apparently, it's like the magic of a monster. It has one function...at least, one basic function, and the act of using it uses your aura...your force field...and it will do some sort of special power."

"Oh. She hasn't told me about that. Why?"

"Well, I have a semblance, and its basic use is to use feelings of "Determination," or points when my soul feels the strongest, to mark as points in time I can jump back to, should I ever feel the need to reset something that shouldn't have happened."

"So you're like a person who fixes time?"

"No. I manipulate it so that no-one gets hurt. My brother shares the same ability, but if he uses it...well, I'll just say it won't be very pretty."

*The thought of Chara rampaging through Beacon for an unexplained reason and murdering the students chills you to the bone. You are Determined not to let that happen.

"The important thing is, Jaune, that when I loaded that point that I had marked, we were in the forever fall forest only hours from now, and you were about to die. I can't let that happen."

"How do we prevent that, though?"

"Well, we could take precautionary measures. Do you know anyone with control over magnetism?"

"Uhhh..."

"Right, I forgot. I'll go look around for someone at lunch. You take care of delivering the essays. Oh, and Cardin's going to call in a couple seconds telling you to get a box full of Rapier Wasps with extra-long stingers."

"What? Why?"

"Maybe that has something to do with how you almost died? Think about it, Jaune. Time travel does some weird stuff. Just say you didn't have time to go and grab the wasps and go get sap from the trees with them. They'll probably react the same way as they did when you didn't want to hurt Pyrrha. For now, enjoy the family you have in your teammates. I'll see you later...If things happen to fall apart again. And just as a last resort, if things somehow escalate, but you're not injured, tell Cardin to get his team to get Pyrrha."


"Aw, crapcrapcrapcrapcrap!"

"Cardin! Get behind me!"

"Holy crap, Jaune?"

"Yes, Cardin, now run! I'll handle this thing!"

"O-Okay! You want me to get anyone?"

"Get Pyrrha! She can...I don't know, she'll do something! Just GO GET HER!"

"YOU HEARD THE MAN, GUYS! GO GET NIKOS!"

"RIGHT, BOSS, WE'RE OUTTA HERE!" said Dove.

"GOOD!"

"Cardin, things aren't looking so good. I'm gonna hold out until Pyrrha gets here. When she does, I'm gonna see what she can do to help," said Jaune.

"Sounds good. So what can I do?"

"You just sit there and watch me kill this thing."

And with that, he ran to the giant bear, sword and shield at the ready.

His shield raised, and his sword slashed. Just as planned, Pyrrha, who was already by the scene, in the bushes nearby, activated her semblance and manipulated Jaune's shield to repel the blow of the Ursa, and Jaune jumped up and lopped off the head of the bear, his sword covered in a black tar as he withdrew it from the beast.

He dropped his weapons and helped up Cardin.

"Jaune?"

"Don't you ever...mess with my friends...my family, again. You hear me?"

Cardin just gave him a cold, fearful stare in response.

"Your silence speaks volumes. Let's get outta here," Jaune said smoothly, motioning for Cardin to follow him.

Cardin just stood there, shocked. He watched the disintegrating body of the Ursa and stood there in awe of what Jaune had just accomplished.

"You know, Jaune, I think we handled that pretty well for only our second try," I said.

"For a second try, it was a heckuva leap. From dying in a pool of my own blood to being revered by my friends for defending an egotistical meatsack from a giant bear thing with spikes on its back, I'd say that went pretty well, all things considered."

"Couldn't've said it better myself, Jaune. Now come on. I heard from Pyrrha that Ren agreed to make pancakes in celebration. Also, I think you owe someone an apology...You know...red hair, green eyes, obviously, horrifyingly, obsessively infatuated with you, wields a spear..."

"Is it...Ruby?"

"You really are that dense."

"Who is it?"

"It's Pyrrha! WHAT PART OF "WIELDS A SPEAR" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?"

"Oh! Right! I have an idea."

"Usually these ideas are good ones, so you go do that."

And so, Smooth Operator Jaune Arc successfully saved himself with my help, and has now possibly made his life just a tad bit easier.


"Remember, class, the dance is this coming Saturday! Don't be left alone!" said Professor Goodwitch.

Across the room, I can hear Jaune groan.


A/N: So yeah, that happened...NOW THE SHIPPENING BEGINS! NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH! (I'm not sorry)

Note: Sap, when referring to a person, means someone who is not smart or wise. A synonym can be "a sucker."

Note 2: the alt. universe Sans and Papyrus in use right now are from the Underswap universe, and I'll try to use different names for them to differentiate between Sans and Underswap Sans and Papyrus and Underswap Papyrus. For USSans, I'll use Blueberry, because that's the name I see him referred to as the most when he's in conversation. For USPapyrus, I'll just call him Paps, and Normal Papyrus will just be Papyrus. It's easier that way.
