When Sans touched the blade, the blade glowed with a cobalt hue. Sans took his hand off, and the glow dimmed. "Huh," he said, "that's….weird."

Flowey's tendrils slinked back underground. Undyne looked around. The house looked almost as good as before, save a few holes.

Ammy said, "Alphys, could we use your lab?"

"Sure, Ammy, but why?"

"Oh.. just, you know, science and stuff."

Sans intervened. "Can I join in, too?"

"How about we all go?" Gaster said. Everyone nodded.

Later….

"So let's begin." Ammy said, writing some things on the dry-erase board. "What we started with is the Determination, the Magic, and the Force."

"Insert obligatory Star Wars reference here," Sans said.

"That's not what I meant." Ammy wrote a D, an M, and an F.

"So what are we discussing?" Gaster said.

"We're looking at what happened in Chapter 1." she said.

"Wow. Way to break the fourth wall." Sans said.

"Never mind. So let's figure out the order in which everything happened."

"Well, I know that the Force could've come first." Sans said. Ammy wrote a 1 under the F. "Then the magic could've come. You did have a panic attack. So, what was the problem?"

"Well, there was an anomaly. I don't know why it didn't affect you, Sans, but it definitely affected me."

"Maybe it's because it was in a universe that didn't involve another version of us?" Gaster intervened.

"Yeah, let's go with that."

Meanwhile…

Frisk lurched. A reset button shimmered in front of them. They reached for it. Flowey said, "Frisk! No!" Flowey's tendrils whipped out of the ground. But when Frisk's hand hit the button, the button glitched. An error message appeared. Flowey read it. "'Error: Anomaly detected. Fourth-wall break level: 100%.'" "What is that? There's only ever been two anomalies, and that's me and Frisk. I wouldn't count, and Frisk's the one trying to reset…*gasp* it must be that Ammy! She's the weirdest monster I've ever seen!"

Now back to science…Ammy had the board at least half filled with equations. There was now a 2 under the M and a 3 under the D. "I should probably stop for now," she said. Gaster and Sans had long since left to do their own project. She could hear the results of that in the next room.

To Sans and Gaster's project…

"Sans! Hit the switch!"

"On it!" Slam! Sans hit said switch. The generator stabilized. The hum of electricity building in the room was neutralized. "Phew."

Ammy walked in, noticing the clipboard Gaster was holding. "What are you guys doing?"

"Oh, we were just exerimenting with a generator that Alphys was using. It's quite different from the ones we used back when... 'you know' happened, but I'm glad the main functions remained the same."

"Huh. Well, I figured out some things. Wanna come see?"

"Sure," Sans said, sounding tired.

Meanwhile, at the house…

"Frisk! Are you alright?" Undyne said, looking panicked.

"Y-Yeah...I really don't know what happened."

The sound of the door opening caught their attention. A strange goat woman walked in. "M-My Queen? I-Is it really you?" Undyne stuttered.

"Yes, it is me. However, watching you care to a child, a human one no less, surprises me greatly. Have you perhaps had a change of heart?"

"That I may. My friends helped me to realize that not all humans are savage murderers."

"Oh, that is wonderful! Also, is anyone else here?"

"Yes, your majesty! I, the Great Papyrus, live here with my brother!"

"Wait, Papyrus? As in the same one that monster told me about?"

"Yes! My brother, Sans!"

"Is he also a skeleton?"

"Yes!"

"Sorry to interrupt your little chat, but there's a small problem." Undyne said.

"A small problem? What is it?"

"Does Asgore really want to take the life of this child? Or should we confront him?"

"I agree, Undyne! We should confront him about it and tell him that there is another way!" Papyrus said cheerfully.

Just then, Flowey popped out of the ground. "I can help," he said, "but we'll have to get the others first."

"What others?" Toriel asked.

"Oh, my brother, my father, Alphys, and Ammy! And maybe Mettaton, too!"

"Who is Ammy?" Toriel asked.

"Oh, a monster that Sans found. She's really nice! She's off doing science with Sans and dad!"

"Wait. I only know of one other skeleton. Are you the sons of Dr. Gaster?"

"Yes! Ammy recently brought him back!"

"Okay. Let's go get the others." Undyne said in a finalizing voice.

"We should probably head up." Ammy said.

"Yeah." Sans said.

And thus, they headed up. Walking to the elevator, Gaster hit in a code on the keypad. The elevator doors opened, and closed behind them as the three of them walked in. Sans noticed how Ammy was clutching an envelope. The envelope looked as if it contained something else. Suddenly, the elevator jerked as it arrived at it's intended floor. The doors opened, and once again, the doors closed behind them as the three of them walked out. Gaster noted that Ammy's ears twitched. Seconds later, the door to the rest of the room opened. They walked out. Alphys was on the other side. She opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the main lab door opening. Undyne, Papyrus, the human, and Toriel walked in. She had at this point redonned some of her formalities. "It's an honor to see you again, my lady," Gaster said, taking a bow.

"Oh, none of that silly nonsense! That can be saved for later." she said, then looked around. She stopped, and stared at Ammy. Recognition flared in her eyes for a moment, then she said, "Ah. You must be Ammy. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too."

"U-Um, Ammy, what, u-uh.. Happened down there? I heard some noises, and went to investigate, but then I decided not to."

"Well, we'll chloro-fill you in on that later, Alphys," Sans interjected. Undyne and Papyrus did a simultaneous facepalm. "But, I, uh… recognize your voice. Are you that lady from the other side of the door?"

"Yes. Yes I am. My name is Toriel. It's nice to finally see you in person. Papyrus told me your name is Sans, if I'm not mistaken?"

"No, you're right. And it's, uh.. Nice to meet you in person, too." Sans blushed.

Writer's Note: I really want to change the plot. And since abadtime's Best of Times, Worst of Times: The Sound of Silence is so freaking popular, I have to pitch in on that. So, I decided to shift the story. Yeeeeah. I made this a Gaster Blaster!Sans AU. Enjoy the rest of the fic! Also, questions can be asked at my tumblr page here. Thanks!

A gathering and epic speech later…

"Ohhh yesss! Of course I'll join your little questing brigade!"

"Yeah! Let's go!"

"Let's show Asgore!"

"YEAH!"

"So, now, does anyone have any questions?" Ammy said defiantly.

"I do," Madjick spoke up.

"What!?" Everyone said in unison.

"Why should we want to fight Asgore about this? Why can't we just… you know, use diplomacy?"

"Oh Madjick, you silly! That's the plan! Weren't you listening?"

"Oh ok."

Writer's Note: One REALLY boring trek through Hotland later...
