Your heart pounds against your chest, while you continued to stare at the small human. Looking around you, you wondered if she was talking to somone else. Finding no one in sight, you tried to sign. But soon stopped yourself once you saw that you could not even see your own fingers. Taking in a deep breath, you tried to use your voice.

《Can...can you see me?》

"Hee hee, sort of." The small child walked closer while squinting her eyes. "If I try hard enough, I can almost see...something. But for now, I just see colors." Letting out a sigh, you wrapped your arms over your knees. "Are you a ghost?"

《I don't know? Maybe I finally did die...》

"Finally? Were you trying to?" Bonbon sat down on the floor as she continued to stare at you with great curiosity.

《No, but maybe it's for the best.》The small child crawled closer towards you and started stroking the air infront of you. Confused by her action, you found yourself smiling. 《What are you doing, kid?》

"Petting you!"

《Why?》

"No one deserves to die..."

《Even if I did something really bad?》The small child blinked a couple of time before telling you yes as if it was the most obvious thing. 《Why do you think so?》

"Because mommy told me, silly!" You couldn't help yourself from letting out a small laugh. For she made it sound as if that was the only answer she needed to make it true. Curling yourself deeper, you let out a soft sigh. "Are you ok? Do you feel sick?" You looked up at her as you shook your head.

《I just feel cold...most of the time. But other times, it would feel as if my back was being burned by the sun...》Bonbon rubbed her chin as she thought about what you where trying to describe. You chuckled to yourself to think of what crazy thing she might come up with, for you don't even know what's going on.

"Do you think you could be lying outside?" Your eyes widen as she said this.

《Why...why do you think that?》The small child crawled closer, sitting herself next to you.

"Because that's how it kinda felt for me when I went outside for the first time." Still confused you looked at her to see if she could elaborate more. Bonbon giggled before she continued with her explanation. "My brother and I can't step outside the house. Mommy said that since our souls are too weak, we would only get sicker. But one day while I was walking past the backdoor, I heard a small kitty. Looking through, I saw that it was stuck in one of our trees. I was really sad because it sounded so scared. I couldn't get mommy to help because she was still at work. Brother was in the bathroom at the moment and I was scared that the kitty might fall if I wasn't fast enough. So I ran out!" The little girl shot her arms into the air, "I tried to run but as soon as I did, BAM! My body crashed to the ground." Bonbon, placed her fingers over her chest. "My chest felt so tight, like it was trying to squeeze me! Everything in my body started to hurt. Like reeeeeally bad. While I was crying, I tried to crawl towards the tree that had the kitty. But my body hurt so bad that I was starting to fall back to sleep."

《You were losing consciousness?》

"Yes, that! Before I lost...con..con...that... I heard my brother screaming my name." The little girl looked sad as she relived what happened next. "I guess my brother came after me...since my eyes where closed the only thing I could do was hear him scream in pain. He kept screaming out for me as I heard him get closer. While I was laying on the ground, it felt like my back was burning since the sun was really bright. When I woke up, I felt really cold. I think my brother was holding me at the time. His body was shaking really badly. All I could remember was hearing my brother in pain as he called out my name. I tried to tell him I was ok, just that I couldn't move. But I couldn't, he said that it was already night, so mommy would be home soon and to not give up and wait until she arrives." You tried to stroke her hair, to comfort her which only ended with your fingers going through her. She smiled at you, trying to compose herself. "That's why I think you're outside! You're cold cause it's night and you feel like your back is burning because that's when the sun is up!"

You smiled at her for that really did make some sort of sense to you. The last thing you remebered, was that you where trying to do a full reset and ended back ontop of Mt. Ebbot. But when you tried to jump down to the underground, a magical force shot your body away and that's when your world went black.

《'I wonder...what caused my body to bounce away from going back to the Underground...'》

"Me?" You looked back at her as her voice pulled you away from your thoughts.

《Hmm?》

"I think I pushed you by accident. Because when I was falling, I felt a lot of magic around me. It felt as if I was falling out from the sky! Then my body CRASHED against something before vines grabbed me and I fell onto a bed of yellow flowers!" You blinked a bit before laughing. As silly as it may sound, that may be what might have happened. To think that you're stuck in this limbo state was because a small child covered in magic came falling out of no where and bounced into you and away from the Underground. You were enjoying all her dramatic movements of her telling on how you two crashed against each other that you didn't notice a figure standing infront of you.

"munchkin?" You held in your breath as his voice frozed you in place. The little girl looked away from you to smile at Sans who bend down to see her. "who are you talking to?" Seeing how he did not noticed you, you let out the breath that you held.

"A friend!" You looked back at Bonbon, warning her to not tell him of your presence. "Uh...an imagery friend?...heh."

"imagery? do you mean imaginary?" Bonbon scratched her head as she stuck her tongue out.

"Oops, yeah that!" Sans smiled warmly before ruffling her hair. You stared at him as he softly chatted with the little girl. His face looked so warm as he did this that it warmed your heart to see him like this. But in closer inspection you noticed the worry in it. He looked so tired, all because you couldn't do anything to stop Chara's torment. No matter what you did or said, you couldn't change them. Even though you knew you should just give up and leave everyone alone, but something was burning inside you: telling you to not give up.

"just hang tight, kay? paps just called and said that he's going to make his favorite meal for you."

"Spaghetti!!?" Sans chuckled before lifting Bonbon off the ground and placing her ontop of the couch.

"not this time munchkin. he's got a special meal that he keeps to himself." Sans rested his hand ontop of her head, "i'm going to step out real quick. can you-...sigh, promise me that you won't leave...just...stay. please..." You widen your eyes as you saw the pain in his face as he struggled to stay those words. Words of promise that you, yourself have broken. Bonbon merely laughed and said yes. Sans let out a sigh before leaving, not before making sure that Bonbon remained seated. Once the door was closed Bonbon climbed over the arm of the sofa to look down towards where you sat.

"Why didn't you want me to tell him that you're here?"

《He probably wouldn't believe you. And if he did...it would only put him in a bad mood.》

"Why? Does...does he hate you?" She whispered. You looked away from her, before answering.

《Yes...and he has every right to be.》

"My mommy said that hate and love are really close. Maybe he loved you and he's just mad at whatever you did..." You stared at her in shock, to think that Sans would love somone as fucked up as you. You, who did nothing but ruin his life timeline after timeline. Hearing the door slam open, you faded further down.

"SMALLISH NERD! Alphys and Mettaton just dropped by waterfall to give you a gift!" Bonbon shot off from the couch to stand in front of Undyne.

"Really!! Ooooh! I wanna go say hi! I told Alphys that we would watch TV together and Mettaton promised we'd play again!!" Bonbon tried to rush towards the door, but Undyne grabbed her by her oversized shirt.

"Sorry punk, but I can't let you leave." Bonbon pouted and asked why. "Skeleton's orders. Now stop pouting and close your eyes!" Bonbon smiled wide as she closed her eyes with her hands out towards Undyne. You peeked over the arm of the couch to see what the suprise was. But was only able to see Undyne's back. After a couple of giggles and rustling, you saw that Undyne had dressed Bonbon in a new attire. A red rabbit hoodie that oddly resembled a little of the skelebros attires. She wasn't wearing shorts or armor but still, it made you wonder what Alphys was trying to say. Wearing her new red hooded dress, Undyne placed Bonbon's hair in pigtails."Heck yeah! That's way better!!! Now you don't look so depressing!"

"Hee hee!" Bonbon twirled a bit before trying to scamper off.

"Where do you think you're going, punk!" Undyne leaned her body against the door, preventing Bonbon from opening it.

"Nghhhhh..." Bonbon began pushing against Undyne's leg, "a... adve ... adenture... nghhhh." All warned out she layed sprawled on the wooden floor in defeat. "Fine, you win only because I promised Sans." Undyne scuffed at her as she continued to guard the door. "Where's...huff...huff...Sans...?"

"Sitting outside this door." You titled your head in confusion. Walking past the groaning child, you fazed through the door and found that Sans was indeed on the other side of the door.

Sans sat on the steps infront of his house as he stared at the ceiling of the underground. Hearing the peaceful town helped ease his soul a bit. His soul that couldn't stop shaking. Resting his head against the front door, he could hear the faint muffled voices of Bonbon and Undyne's. His soul gave off a small quake as he heard Bonbon trying to pass Undyne.

"Fine, you win only because I promised Sans." Hearing this settled his soul once more. Running his phalanges across his skull, he could feel his lack of sleep catching up to him.

"damn it munchkin, what did those fucked up parents of yours do to you to make you do that." He grumbled. As he let out another shuttered sigh, he could smell the crisp sweet scent of apples and flowers all wrapped in warm cinnamon. Lost in the smell, he let it consume him. Closing his eyesockets, he could almost feel the warmth brush against his skull. So much so that he tried to grasp the warmth that caressed his cheeks. But only grabbing air, he clenched his teeth before grunting out his frustration.

You pulled away your hand as soon as you watched his own try to to grab on to you. Seeing him growl in anger caused you to take a step back. Feeling a small pain in your heart, you decided to leave him be. Turning around, your heart thumped as a familiar voice caught you by suprise.

"Brother!? Why Are You Out Here? Where's The Tiny Human?!!" Papyrus stood infront of you while carring a brown bag. You tried to step out of the way as he walked forward, but you weren't quick enough. That he ended up walking through you, leaving you with a werid sensation. After shaking it off, you saw that Papyrus had stopped walking.

Papyrus scrunched up his face as he layed his hand over where is soul was. Feeling off, he looked back and saw that there was nothing behind him. He tried rubbing his chest as to rid the weird feeling. The feeling of something he was supposed to remember, a sense of longing, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. Shaking his head, he looked at his brother who was trying to get his attention.

"paps? something wrong?"

"Nyeh? It's Nothing...About The Tiny Human...Why Are You Not With Her?"

"don't worry bout' it, she's with undyne. i...i just needed to take a breather." Papyrus placed his hand over his brother's shoulder, giving him a knowing smile. For he too had needed a break from what had occurred.

"Ahem...WELL, WE CAN'T KEEP OUR TINY HUMAN WAITING. SHE MUST BE VERY HUNGRY BY NOW AND I HAVE OCCURRED THE BEST MEAL TO CHEER ANYONE UP." Sans smiled as he stood up from his seat. Walking through the door, Papyrus called out for Bonbon. Upon hearing his voice, she got up from the floor and rushed over to meet him. Papyrus placed the brown bag down on the floor to hold Bonbon in his arm. In one fall swoop he lifted her in the air, listening to her small fit of laughter. "TINY HUMAN! THAT IS A VERY PRETTY OUTFIT YOU HAVE THERE! WHERE'D YOU GET IT?" putting her down in the ground, she gave him a little twirl.

"Undyne said that Alphys and Mettaton gave it to me!"

"METTATON! YOU'VE MEET HIM!!" Sans let out a small grunt as he heard his brother mention the robotic star's name.

"Apparently. Alphys even told me that she was in some of his new shows that aired yesterday." Undyne said as she grabbed the paper bag from Papyrus to place it on the kitchen table. Sans feeling more exhausted, grabbed the tiny human and placed her on his lap as he sat down on the couch. Resting his eyesocket, he let the feel of calm wash over him from having the kid near him. Just having her soul close to his, put him in ease now.

"TINY HUMAN! WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO MEET THE SEXIEST RECTANGLE!"

"I love him!!! He's the nicest robot ever!" Sans stiffened as he heard her daring declaration of the oversized calculator. Feeling annoyed, he wrapped the small human into his arm before laying on the couch. "Hee hee, Sans! You're squishing me!"

"hmm? what's that? sorry, but I couldn't hear ya, to busy napping." Undyne shook her head at the embarrassing display. Patting Papyrus on the back to tell him that she was heading home, she noticed him flinch. She gave him a cocky smile as she figured that he probably didn't like the thought of the smallish nerd saying she loved someone else.

"Well, Papyrus gotta go, I have to check if the fire had settled down yet. Take care of the kid...okay?" Papyrus only gave her a small nod in response before she left them.

Upon hearing the door closed, you turned around and watched as Undyne stepped out of the skeleton brother's house. Undyne, shoved her hands into her pocketsbefore walking off. Feeling her tension, you decided to follow but stopped as soon as you watched her slam her fist against the cave walls. "Dammit..." she muttered, before walking into Waterfall.

Noticing that Undyne had left, Bonbon's head peeked out from Sans arms. She asked Papyrus if he wanted to watch a Mettaton show, but saw that his body had flinched. "Papy? You don't want to watch Mettaton?" Papyrus grip tighten over the paper bag before putting up a fake smile.

"SORRY TINY HUMAN, MAYBE ANOTHER TIME. BUT RIGHT NOW, I MUST PREPARE A VERY SPECIAL BREAKFAST!"

As time kept passing you by, the more you felt yourself distancing away from your body. You could no longer feel the ground where your body layed. Only the cold. But even that, you found yourself not noticing. Fazing back through the brothers' home, you found yourself in quite a strange situation. While Sans was napping on top of the sofa, Papyrus was sitting on the floor with a bowl of what you assumed was oatmeal with...dinosaur eggs? Not that seeing him with a bowl of oatmeal was strange, but seeing him spooning small portions onto Sans arm was. Walking closer, you noticed that Bonbon's face could be seen settled deep in Sans arms as her cheeks were being stuffed. The little girl looked up at you and smiled, causing her chubby cheeks to squint her eyes. Smiling back, you decided to leave her be, not wanting to disrupt the small peace she had.

Going up the stairs, you saw Chara leaning against the banister. Seeing her fully awake unnerved you. Walking closer, you could see the mischievous glint in her eyes. 《Chara? What are you...》

{You know, the kid really is something!}

《Just leave her be.》

{Hmmm...for now.} Chara turned around to face you, {Last night really took alot out of me. So I'll let her be.} This didn't help ease your tension. Chara with her arms behind her back, twirled a bit before fazing through Sans' room. Taking one last look at the warm scene below, you sighed before following Chara. Entering the room, you found that she was sitting next to a bored looking Flowey. With her legs crossed and her chin resting in one hand, her other one began playing with Flowey's petals. Even though she appeared to be smiling, you could tell she was annoyed as her fingers only fazed through.

《Chara? What are you doing?》

{For someone who hates talking, your reeeeal chatty lately.} You huffed as you sat near her, resting your back against hers. {If you need to know. I'm trying to pluck him. What else would I be doing?} You chuckled awkwardly, for it was always silly of you to ask. Hearing Flowey groan, you crawled towards him. Laying on your stomach, you looked at his face and wondered what he might be thinking. Coming up with nothing in mind, you found yourself reaching for him as well. But as your fingers brushed against his petals, he gave off a slight shiver.

"What the hell!" Flowey looked all around before shrinking back into his pot. Seeing his reaction caused you to scurry back a bit as Chara stared at you in shock. After glaring at you for abit, her smile widened.

{You know...you might actually be turning to a ghost.} You stared at her as she got closer to you.

{You're dying, Frisk.}

Having finished her breakfast, Papyrus lifted Bonbon out of Sans' grasp, who was fast asleep. Putting her down he went to the kitchen to clean the dishes. He smiled to himself as he heard a giggling Bonbon run upstairs into Sans' room with a glass of water in hand. Not thinking much about it, Papyrus continued his cleaning until he saw her trying to scamper off towards the front door. Very quickly he swooped her up and placed her ontop of the kitchen table. "I Am Truly Sorry, Tiny Human. But ...I ...Can't ...Let You Leave." Bonbon looked at him before gazing towards the door.

"Why...? Did I do something bad?" Her voiced filled with unknown guilt and eyes glistening with unshead tears. "I'm sorry...I'll be good! I promise..." Papyrus soul wanted to shatter as he heard her beg.

"No No No No...Shh..Shhh... Shh!" He gathered her in his arm, trying to console her. "Tin-...Bonbon, You Did Nothing Wrong!" Bonbon rubbed her eyes before staring at his worried face. "It's Only For A Little Bit..."

"Really?...I'm...not in trouble?" Papyrus buried his face into her small shoulder as he tried his best to keep his voice from wavering. Looking up, he gave her the brightest smile he could muster.

"YOU ARE BY FAR THE GREATEST HUMAN!!! IF YOU WHERE A MONSTER, YOU WOULD ONLY BE SECOND GREATEST, ME BEING THE FIRST! NYEHEHEHE!!!" Bonbon giggled out loud, putting a small ease to his soul. "IF YOU WISH TO GO OUTSIDE, I HAVE JUST THE THING!! BUT I MUST MAKE A QUICK PHONE CALL FIRST!" Placing Bonbon ontop of Sans sleeping body, he went to his room to call up Undyne.

Bonbon hummed to herself as she wiggled her legs back and forth, while she waited for Papyrus to arrive. While she moved around, she softly giggled at every grunt Sans made. Half awake, one of Sans eyesocket pride itself open. Glancing over towards the giggling human, he let out one final grunt before engulfing her back into his arms. "Hee hee ahahahaa! Sans you're squishing me again!"

"hmm..." Sans ignored her squirming as he went back to sleep. When Papyrus was finished with his call, he lept down the stairs. Hearing faint giggles, he pretended to not know where they came from while he called out to her. Bonbon manage to free one of her arms, and started waving it around to catch his attention.

"THERE YOU ARE TINY HUMAN!" Picking her once more from his brother's grasp, he placed her safetly back down.

"Can I go outside now!" She said while bouncing in place.

"OF COURSE TINY HUMAN! BUT YOU MUST HOLD STILL FIRST!"

"Eh?" Holding still, she waited as Papyrus rummaged around the inside of a brown bag. Grabbing something, he started latching it onto his battle body. All set, he lifted the tiny human. "Ehhh!!??"

Undyne was a bit agitated when she got a call from Papyrus about how the kid wanted to leave. He sounded so worried, but she suggested that for today she would give him the exception to take her in his daily training. Meeting Papyrus in the same spot in Waterfalls, aka her house. She was quiet surprised to see what Papyrus had thought of.

"NYEHEHE! I REALLY AM GREAT! BECAUSE NOT ONLY CAN I CONTINUE MY DUTY AS A ROYAL GUARD-IN-TRAINING, BUT I CAN KEEP WATCH OVER THE TINY HUMAN AT THE SAME TIME!"

"HA! That's freaking adorable!! She's like a baby!" Undyne hollered out as she tried to contain in her laughter. Bonbon had a deadpan look to her as she was tucked snuggly inside a baby harness.

"Not a baby..."she grumbled out.

"UNDYNE! DO YOU WISH TO KNOW WHAT'S MORE ADORABLE THAN A CAPTURED BABY!!?"

"Not a baby..."

"IS A CAPTURED BABY-"

"Not a baby!"

"WITH A PACIFIER!"

"Bwhahahaha! Where did you even find that!!!"

"IT BELONGS TO THE TINY HUMAN! SHE MUST HAVE LOST IT IN THE SNOW A WHILE BACK, BUT I HAVE CLEANED IT THROUGHLY FOR HER ENJOYMENT!!" Undyne continued laughing as Papyrus was busy being proud at his problem solving skills. While Bonbon quietly sucked away at her long lost pacifer.
