Shortly after the encounter with the skeletons, you followed through Sans' favor, meeting up with them again in the middle of a conversation.
"SO, AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT UNDYNE. . ." Papyrus started but turned his gaze over towards you and the child as you entered in.
The response was immediate, his eyes widening and his mouth opened, but no words came out. He pointed at you and the child and looked over at Sans, stammering over his words.
Sans grinned widened even more as he seen Papyrus' face lit up. They then looked at each other and you in turn until they were spinning in circles. You and your companion smiled at their silly antics.
Papyrus and Sans then turned their backs to you, as if having a private meeting, but Papyrus' booming voice ruined the whole act,
"SANS! OH MY GOD! ARE THOSE. . HUMANS?!"
They looked behind their shoulders for a moment, examining you two.
"uhhhh. . ." Sans spoke up, "actually i think that's just some rocks."
You were momentarily confused until you looked behind and found two rocks conveniently placed behind you.
"OH."
"hey, what's that in front of the rocks?"
Papyrus looked at you two again and gave the same expression as if it was his first time seeing you.
"OH MY GOD!" Papyrus exclaimed out.
Papyrus slightly bended his knees to get to the same level as Sans, and cuffed one hand in an attempt so you couldn't hear their conversation.
"(ARE. . ARE THOSE HUMANS?)" Papyrus whispered loudly.
"(yes)" Sans whispered noisily as well.
Papyrus jumped back in excitement, "OH MY GOD! SANS I FINALLY DID IT!"
"UNDYNE WILL. . I'M GONNA . . ." The taller skeleton was all over the place, way over the moon at this point. Sans watched him with a caring glint in his eyes. You could tell that Sans really loved his bro.
"I'LL BE SO. . . POPULAR! POPULAR! POPULAR!"
He looked over your way, realizing that you two were still here and quickly fixed his composure. Papyrus cleared his throat and stepped in front of Sans, pointing heroically at you two.
"HUMANS! YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS AREA!" He ordered. "I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL STOP YOU!" He warned while pointing to himself.
"I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU! YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL! THEN. . THEN. .!" He paused for a moment.
"I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT." Dropping his heroic composure for a moment but quickly picked it back up, "IN ANY CASE! CONTINUE. . ONLY IF YOU DARE!"
"NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!" Papyrus laugh faded away as he ran off, leaving you with Sans once again.
"well, that went well." Sans chuckled.
"About that whole capturing us and sending us to the capital plan. ." You asked, "Will he. . actually fall through with it?"
Sans shrugged it off, "don't sweat it, kid." He then pointed to his closed eye, "i'll keep an eyesocket out for ya." And walked away, leaving you and the child alone.
"Well, they're a lively bunch, aren't they?" You asked the child, continuing forward. They nodded, following behind you.
"Do you think Papyrus will actually try and capture us?"
They were about to sign something, but remembered and brought out their notebook instead.
"no, he looks pretty nice. :]"
You dipped your head, "Yeah, you're right. He looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly." You hoped to yourself quietly, remembering the situation with Toriel.
You entered into a comfortable silence, you didn't get that far until you were stopped by "Doggo" it called itself.
"Don't move an inch!" He called out, throwing a blue sword your way.
You almost tried to dodge it, but remembered his advice and stood still. It took all of your efforts to stand still as the sword phased through you effortlessly, not leaving a scratch on you. You let out a needed sigh of relief. The child then ended the FIGHT by petting Doggo on the top of his head.
After the encounter with Doggo, you met up with Sans again, standing there like usual.
"hey," Sans greeted you two. You greeted back with a hello and the child waved.
"here's something to remember. my brother has a very special attack." He started, "if you see a blue attack, don't move and it won't hurt you."
Well, that would have been useful to hear about before, you thought to yourself.
"here's an easy way to keep it in mind. imagine a stop sign," he made the shape of a stop sign with his hands. "when you see a stop sign, you stop, right?"
You and the child nodded and Sans continued on, "stop signs are red. so imagine a blue stop sign instead." He's making this sound way more complicated, you thought to yourself.. "simple, right? when fighting, think about blue stop signs."
"Blue stop signs. . Alright, got it!" You told Sans, pointing ahead, "We're gonna, uh keep on going. ."
"ok, remember.. blue stop signs.."
You started to make your way ahead while looking at Sans, "I'll make sure not to for-"
-SMACK-
You fell straight on your ass onto the ice that you, unfortunately, did not see until it was too late. The child slid gently on the ice to help you up while Sans burst out laughing. You wobbled back onto your legs, caressing your butt and gave the short skeleton a dirty look.
"watch out where you're snowing, kid."
You groaned and started to march ahead, not wanting to hear any of Sans' puns. The kid started to giggle, waving to Sans and followed suit. As soon as they caught up with you, they passed over the notebook to you,
"thaw, come on! chill out! B ]"
You groaned louder than before, "Not you too!"
