Chapter 6. Too Good to Be True

Once the four had arrived inside the living room of the Skeleton brother's house. They all look towards Papyrus who was fast asleep on the couch snoring softly.

" Heh, I guess he fell asleep while waiting for us." Sans chuckles as he makes his way towards his younger brother and lifts him off the couch with his magic.

" You three go ahead and start talkin' I'm going to tuck Paps in and come back down once I'm done." The blue hoodie skeleton added as he makes his way up the stairs with his younger brother floating behind him.

Serenity quietly walks towards the couch and sits on it as she gives both Rini and Chronos a motherly look as they stood across from her.

" Rini, will you care to explain what is going on? For if I am right you should not be existing right now." She said as her future pink hair daughter looks down ashamed.

As Sans suddenly appears next to the older moon princess.

" ...Darien was never really my father... it was a lie to protect the timeline." The tiny sailor scout whispers as she bites her bottom lip.

" A lie?"

"...Yup, the true king of your future kingdom is sitting next to you right now." Chronos added as he tugs on one of his younger sister's pink pigtails to cheer her up.

"Er...What?" Sans asked his eye sockets now pitch black.

" Yup, why so shocked pops? I mean how else how else can mom have a skeleton monster as a son?"

" And how can we trust ya'? I mean come on pal you and this squirt ere' just appeared and now you both are sayin' that your our kids from the future? That's kinda hard ta' believe. Am I right Moon Fairy?" The blue hoodie skeleton asked his princess as he looks towards her who was now giving him a small sweet smile.

" ...Not really." She responded while gently biting her bottom lip.

"... Why, not really?"

"...As I had said earlier when you were tucking Papy into bed. I had thought that Rini no longer exist. She was supposed to be my and Darien's future daughter. We found that out when she came to our time a few years ago. Asking us to help her save her home so thanks to the key Sailor Pluto had given her. We were able to make it to the future. Only to find out that her home was the future Earth and, Moon Kingdom. Along with finding out that she was my future daughter...The question is. Why lie?" Serenity added now looking towards her two children not noticing that her blue hoodie protector had now slightly stiffened.

" That's because dad wanted ta' at least protect some of the future. Ya' know since sis took a certain queen's past self to the future instead of thinkin' what the consequences could be. So~ Pop's asked Edymion to do that one little lie to be on the safe side. At least until it was time to send sis and me down ere' to help out with what's going on along with revealing the truth." the young prince skeleton responded with a small shrug.

"...I can see Sans doing that. What about Darien isn't he still the king of Earth?"

" Nope, after getting together with Fiore uncle Edymion just wanted a peaceful life with im'. So he technically adopted you as his sister making you princess of the Moon and Earth Kingdom. With that you asked him to be dad's advisor. " Chronos finished with a small wink.

"...Sorry ta' interrupt pal but uh~ come on Serenity you can't believe that any of this is true." Sans interrupted having Serenity look towards him with a small worried expression.

"Yes, I do actually."

"Right, you believe that you'll marry a skeleton monster," he said with a small snort.

"Why not?" the older moon princess asked with a small tilt of her head earning a shocked expression from the blue hoodie skeleton.

" Sans, you're sweet, smart, and funny and you don't show it but you have a protective side to where you protect the people you love and care about. And those things along with other things made me fall for you...Sans, I love you." She finishes with a sweet smile only to have him all of the sudden stand up from the couch.

"...Sans?"

" ..I'm.. this is just too good to be...sorry I have ta' go," he mumbles before teleporting away.

Leaving behind a heartbroken Moon Princess.

Seeing the tears filling in his mother's crystal blue eyes. Chronos lets out a small sigh as he makes his way towards the couch with his hands in the front pocket of his hoodie and sits down next to her.

" He loves you too. Just give him some time even dad said he could be very thick Skulled." The young Skeleton prince said with a wink while tapping the side of his skull.

Earning a soft giggle from his mother as his younger sister now in her school uniform comes to sit on the other side of Serenity.

Meanwhile in Waterfall.

San lets out a low groan as he sits at his station.

He couldn't believe he did that he ran away after the girl of his dreams just told him that she loved him. And yet the story of the future and her telling him that it was just too good to be true he knows a reset could happen anytime and this will all be just some wonderful dream nothing more.

" Sans?" a soft voice called out from in front of him.

Having the blue hoodie skeleton open one eye finding Luna sitting on the table next to his arm.

" Eya' furball."

" I heard what happen while I was sleeping on the kitchen table. Will you like to talk about it?" She asked while placing a paw on his bony hand.

"All of that was just...too good to be true," he mumbles under his breath.

" And why is that?" the royal advisor asked while narrowing her brown eyes.

"...It's cause there's never a happy ending ere'. Many times we were free from the Underground. And the kid would just reset and after that, it would become a Genocide run just for their own sick amusement." He growls now hiding his face in his hands.

" To where I have to watch everyone die again and again," Sans added his voice now shaking with tears.

"... Sans, I do not know if what I am about to tell you will help but I hope that it will. Princess Serenity did not always believe that such a future would become reality. So many times the Earth was under attack so many times did her friends and loved ones have died. Or were put in danger because of the Silver Crystal that is within her. She had started to think that she was weak and nothing but trouble we had try to tell her that it was not true. Yet Serenity did not believe our words. This had all stopped once Rini had come to our time taking us to the future. After seeing this Serenity knew that she could not give up she had to fight for the future she had to believe in herself. And now she had just found out that her future family was not with her ex but with the true one that she truly loves. So the princess will fight for it a lot harder and try her best from keeping a reset from happening. Yet she can not do this alone."

" ...Do ya' think this future could really happen?"

" Well let's look at the facts. Shall we? The two children you have in the future that you say is too good to be true is sitting in your living room right now. So yes I do and in all honesty, I will like this future to happen for I have something to look forward to also ..everyone does." The black cat had finished with a tilt of her head.

To where the blue hoodie skeleton lets out a sigh as he stood from his seat.

" A'right, A'right I know when someone is tellin' me to stop bein' such a lazy bones. ..I guess the time of runnin' and givin' up is over. Thanks, furball." he finishes with a small wink as he vanishes from his station.

Once Sans had arrived in the living room he had found Serenity still sitting on the couch fast asleep with their small daughter who was also asleep using her mother's lap as a pillow.

"There's one. Where's the other?"

"Eya' Pops," Chronos said as he exits the kitchen with a bottle of ketchup in his hand.

" Still up?" the blue hoodie skeleton asked with a raise of his brow bone.

" ... Yup, since you had left I thought that I would watch over Mom and Rini to make sure that they weren't in any danger." The younger blue hoodie skeleton responded with a small shrug of his shoulder as his father now stands in front of him.

Sans continues staring down at his son. He knew that face it was one he used when he had to lie to Paps. Telling him that he was okay even though he wasn't after one hell of a bad dream about the last timeline before the recent reset.

" Nah, kiddo I think there's more to it a nightmare maybe. You know you can tell your old man anythin'. Right?"

"Oh~ so now you believe that you're my dad after freaking out like that and leaving mom heartbroken? Heh, yeah, some dad." Chronos growls while narrowing his eyes.

"Okay wow, I'm going to ignore that hurtful yet truthful comment since I know for myself that I would be defensive too after a bad dream. You're really are a lot like your old man huh?" Sans asked while rubbing the back of his skull while letting out a soft sigh.

"..."

" Look Chronos, I'm sorry I'm pretty sure that my future self already apologized to you about my reaction earlier. I mean I've been thru a lot of resets and other...nightmares that made me this way. Not believing in a happy ending. But uh~ your sister and you are ere' right now standing right in front of me. Proof that there is one so the past does not give me a good excuse for hurting your mother or you and your sister."

"..."

" I'm just worried about you kiddo. I don't want you to hold it in and go thru what I went thru." the blue hoodie skeleton added now kneeling in front of his son.

"...The Dark Moon kingdom attack." Chronos mumbles under his breath.

" What was that?"

" The attack that happened when sis went to the past. It...got pretty bad. Rini was.. I almost.. but Sailor Moon...I just don't want ta' lose any of you again. " Chronos mumbles under his breath before becoming quiet.

Earning a small sigh from Sans as he places a hand on his sons head.

"A'right, you don't have to say anymore if you don't want ta'. That little and very messy info you had just let out should help at least. Feel a little better?"

"..Yeah, thanks, dad."

" No problem kiddo, now you should get some sleep we have a big day tomorrow. I can't wait to see Tori's face when she finds out that she has grandchildren." the blue hoodie skeleton added with a wink as he stands up.

" So do you want to take Rini upstairs so that you two can sleep in my bed?"

" Nah, we'll stay down ere' the couch was always Rini's favorite place ta' sleep when we stayed with uncle Papyrus."

" Heh, Paps is going to be excited when you call im' that." Sans added as he makes his way to the couch and kneels in front of his sleeping Moon Princess.

" Hey, Sweet Heart wake up," he whispers in an attempt of not waking his daughter as he sets a bony hand gently on Serenity's cheek.

The older Moon princess slowly opens her blue eyes finding glowing white pupils locked with hers.

"Sans?" Serenity asked with a soft yawn.

" Morin, Beautiful." her blue hoodie protector chuckles quietly as he takes her hand and places a gentle kiss on her open palm having the pigtail princess blush bright red.

" As much as I find our daughter usin' you a pillow adorable. Wanna join me upstairs? So the kiddos can both fit on the couch? "

"J-join you upstairs?"

" Heh, don't worry Moon Fairy I don't plan on doing anythin' to ya," he added while leaning forward to where he was now next to her ear.

" Not with the kiddos and Paps ere' at least. I rather have you all to myself." Sans continues with a small growl before pulling away as Serenity lets out a small shiver.

" Go A Bed and go, mom, I'll watch over Rini," Chronos said with a small wink earning a snort from his father.

" He gets it from you." Serenity added with a small glare towards Sans who give her a small shrug.

" What can I say? Like father like son." the blue hoodie skeleton said as he pulls his Moon princess up from the couch into his arms after Chronos used his magic to levitate Rini so she wouldn't wake up.

" Remember to get some rest kiddo we have a big day tomorrow."

" Sure thing Pops." the young skeleton prince answeres as he sits on the couch and sets his younger sister next to him before shutting his eyes.

Sans stood there for a moment with Serenity making sure that his son was truly asleep before teleporting to his room with the moon princess.

One thing was for sure after finding out that such a future existed he was determined to make that Chara wouldn't ruin it.
