Chapter: 6

As Frisk took a shaky step forward, she was immediately greeted with a gust of cold wind that seemed to slap her in the face. "Brrrrr~... What the heck-?" She finally took in her surroundings for the first time and realized that it was WINTER?!

"What the heck?! I thought since I'm underground there wouldn't be weather down here! What sense does this make?! NONE!" She huffed in frustration while trying to rub her arms up and down in order to keep herself warm. "Well this is just fan-freaking-tastic! What's next, a Land that's completely filled with lava?!" It was right then and there that she swore to herself that she heard snickering. She frantically looked in all directions to see where it came from. But all she saw were snow and dark lonely woods that surrounded her on both sides.

She was now officially freaked out. And she couldn't help but sense that whatever made that noise was enjoying her predicament and fear. She again searched her surroundings for any signs of life. But again, nothing stood out, except, "What is that…?" Something shiny was sticking out of some bushes onto her left.

She warily took a few careful steps towards the object of interest in the bushes. As she came closer to it, she finally figured out what it was. "It's a camera?"

This just all the more confirmed her fears of being watched. Whoever was watching her seemed to be either interested in what she or whoever came here did. Or, they were just perverts that didn't know the definition of privacy.

She slowly backed up and swallowed hard. Uneasy about her current situation. She looked ahead of her and sighed, "Well, I better get moving before I freeze to death out here. Then I'll have to explain to Chara why I ended back in the Void again. That, I'm pretty sure, she wouldn't take that well. She most likely call me an idiot. Which, I wouldn't blame her if she did…"

…

*Sigh*

As she took her first steps forward she couldn't help the invisible eyes that stared her down as she continued on her journey. This was only confirmed as she past a thick fallen branch on the ground.

*SNAP!*

She quickly whipped around behind her to the noise that was just made. She saw how the branch she passed was practically demolished. It was then that she went to full panic mode. She started picking up her pace. And for a split second, she turned around and swore that she saw a tall shadow. It was then that she began to run.

When she finally came to what appeared as a bridge with a huge gate(?) on it. She was just about to reach the bridge, but was suddenly stopped by a low and strong voice. "HUMAN. DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO GREET A NEW PAL? TURN AROUND AND SHAKE MY HAND."

It was at this moment that she was about to pass out in fear. But she instead took one long shaky breath, closed her eyes, turned around, and prayed to God that she wouldn't die. Again.

She slowly opened her eyes and took the hand that was out for her to shake. She immediately noticed two things.

1. She noticed that the hand that was holding hers was skeletal

2. As she gripped tighter on the hand, there was a long, loud, and definite farting noise.

She blinked twice with wide eyes. She was so confused. That was until the figure was practically laughing his metaphorical gutts out at her confusion. It was then that she noticed that before her was a large laughing skeleton! It wasn't till she tilted her head in confusion that the skeleton seemed to regain his composure.

"Ahhh~ the ol' whoopie cusion in the hand trick~ never gets old. Especially with your reaction kid! That was priceless!"

It was right then and there that she knew that he was just messing with her and that he pulled a prank on her. A cheesy one at that. She just couldn't hold it in anymore. She began to laugh hysterically. So much so that tears fell from her eyes. What she was laughing about at this point was beyond her. Maybe it was the situation or the prank itself, she couldn't figure it out. But as she came out of her hysterical laughter and started to wipe her years away, she took notice that the skeleton looked a bit shocked and seemed a bit blue. And, no, before you ask, not blue as in sad, but as in color wise on his skeletal face. Was that the monster version of a blush? It was then that she turned around a little to hide her embarrassment at how she might've looked like a complete idiot.

It was then and there that the skeleton coughed(?) to bring her back to the situation. "Uhh, anyways. The name's Sans. Sans the Skeleton. And I gotta say, never thought I'd hear that much laughter after one of my classic jokes." He said this all the while looking away sheepishly from her. It was then that Frisk took some time to notice some of his features. Six foot tall skeleton, he was big but not fat just thick, he had pin pricks inside his eye sockets. He also seemed to wear a casual attire consisting of a blue sweatjacket with fur outlining on the hoodie, black shorts with white stripes at the sides, and a white T-shirt. She also seemed to notice that he had a big goofy smile. And for a skeleton, he seemed pretty cute…

'No! Bad Frisk! Don't think thoughts like that! You just met him! Get to know him first before doing anything rash!' She thought to herself.

"Uhh, kid? You okay there?"

Frisk gasped slightly from surprise and blushed a little bit. She hoped that he didn't notice.

He did. But he kept it to himself until he thought it was a good time to tease her or something. 'That should be interesting. Heh…'

"So, anyways. You're a human huh? That's hilarious. I'm actually supposed to be on the watch for humans right now. But y'know…. I really don't care for catching anybody….."

Frisk seemed confused by this. 'How is being human hilarious?' She thought. She was somewhat relieved that he wouldn't capture her. But then he started talking again.

"Now my brother Papyrus…

He's a human-hunting FANATIC! Hey, actually I think that's him over there."

Frisk started to panic again. And he seemed to notice it to.

"Hey I have an idea. Go through this gate thingy. Don't worry about not fitting through. My brother made the bars too wide to stop anyone."

As they both made it through the bridge he told her to hide behind the huge conveniently shaped lamp that was beside what looks to be a sentry station. As she hid behind the lamp, (which for the life of her she can't figure out WHY there was one out here in the first place), she couldn't help but overhear San's and his brother's conversation. She tried hard not to smile and laugh at San's cheesy puns. And she couldn't help the smile that crept on her face about how loud and cheerful like his brother could be. 'Papyrus was it? I'll have to ask.' As soon as their encounter was over she couldn't help but think that Sans was TRYING to get her caught by his brother. 'The nerve!'

But later as Sans asked her to help out with his brother because of how he has been down lately, she couldn't help but smile and make an understanding face. But what confused her was that he said that he'd be up ahead but instead of running past her, he went the opposite direction! 'Maybe there's a shortcut somewhere?' she thought.

As she continued her way through the wintery wonderland, she came across a 'Save Point'. "Oh thank God! I don't think I can risk anymore encounters without having a heart attack and starting over again!" And again she swore she heard snickering in the forest! She growled in frustration because she now knew that it was probably Sans spying on her. She rolled her eyes and discreetly walked up to the light to make sure that no one, not even Sans, was looking. She reached over and touched the light. The screen popped up. 'SAVE OR CONTINUE?' She hit the save option and slowly the light began to dull. But not before it did something to her. The light shines and swirled around her. Then soon enough, she felt herself warmed up and rejuvenated. It felt like it was a power up of some sort.

She couldn't help the smile that crept on her face. "Maybe this was what Chara meant by trying to figure things out for me." She wasn't quite sure of it till she heard Chara's voice again. "The convenience of that lamp fills you with DETERMINATION. Hope you liked that little power up by the way it should help you through that frozen wasteland. Be careful Frisk."

Frisk couldn't help the smile on her face at her new friend's concern. "I will! And who knows. I might be able to make more friends along the way~!"
