Hey guys... I'm sorry for taking so long for the next chapter. A lot has been happening in my life and I've been sad...

So I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. It's pretty long, but I figured why not put it all in one, you've waited long enough.

Enjoy. :)

Dark, darker, and darker the sky became as the sun set upon half the world as the majority laid to rest. Although some people weren't asleep yet since they weren't having a peaceful night. A dear grandfather was laid on his bed as his family surrounded him, not letting a moment pass too soon since he was in his final hours. He was a stern and stubborn man, but he had a good heart and his family didn't wish to leave his side even though he insisted. He peered out his window as they still refused to leave his side, and that's when his eyes widened to see two empty sockets and a smile looking at him from a yards away. The grandfather relaxed his expression, instantly recognizing that he was Death from the black hooded robe and scythe that he carried on his back.

One of his grandchildren stepped forward and asked him to tell them her favorite story one more time, her eyes shining with accumulated tears. He turned towards her as he looked at all of his family members, knowing that this was his last time seeing them again. He pat his grandchild's head and smiled at everyone, and then he looked down at her and replied,

"Alright, one last time I'll tell you the Sun and Moon's tale..."

As he spoke, the god of Death approached just outside the window, but right below it so that he was out of sight at the moment while he waited for the old man's last words. He could hear the grandfather telling the story as he waited:

"Long ago when the humans were yet to be created, the Earth was empty, dark, and unable to maintain life that the goddess of Life created. So, the god of Knowledge brought forth the idea of an eternal energy source to bare light upon the empty world so that life could be sustained there in the warmth of it's power. The god of the Skies then called upon a star to come down so that it's light could radiate on the Earth, and it was called the Sun. However, only half of the world could be lit at a time, while the other half remained in the shadows without light and order.

To balance this, the god of Wisdom suggested to bring an astronomical body that could absorb energy from the Sun so that it could light up the night while having it's own power to tame the darkness for the creatures of the night to live in harmony. Thus, they called this orbital body the Moon. The goddess of Light was happy that her creations could now live on the Earth and made more and more creations so that they could prosper, and as you already know after a while, even the people needed to be balanced like the Earth. Which was why the gods of Death came forth, but that's another story and this story isn't really about them…

Anyway, the Sun would shine it's light upon the Earth, as the Moon would follow the dark side where the Sun wasn't shining, and then one day the two met each other. They were surprised to be able to communicate with one another, and it was said that they were so happy to meet someone like themselves. Even though they were different, they still shared the same sky, the same energy, and the same importance to the world. However, they were only able to talk to one another twice in the span of three years. This saddened the two, as they wished they could talk and spend time together like how the humans, and gods and goddesses were able to do…

Upon seeing and feeling the sadness of the Sun and the Moon, the goddess of Life decided to repay the two for maintaining life on Earth, and she created vessels so that they could have bodies like the gods and goddesses. The Sun and the Moon were overjoyed by this, and each vessel was filled with their powers. In their new, beautiful forms, they became goddesses, and were free to roam as they pleased upon the Earth and Heavens as friends for all time. It is said, that when the Sun shines the brightest in the day that it is actually the goddess of the Sun who dances just above the clouds to draw in more power from the orbital Sun. It is also said that during the darkest part of the night, the goddess of the Moon dances above the clouds to draw in more power from the orbital Moon. But, I have yet to see the beauty of the goddesses of the Sun and Moon dancing separately… although I do believe I saw the two of them once together as they danced during a Solar Eclipse, and it was the most beautiful thing in the world. The dance of the Sun and Moon is the perfect bond of friendship and family that can last forever, just like our family. Whether I am here physically or not, we will be together forever through this story and my memory. Remember this story as you remember me… don't forget."

The family gave him hugs and kisses upon his head with tears in all of their eyes as he told each of them farewell until the last grandchild who had asked for the story in the first place. She hugged him as he hugged back, and for this child, the tears that he was trying so hard to hold back fell.

"Goodbye Grandpapa. I love you..." his granddaughter said.

"Goodbye, dear one. Be a good, strong girl when you grow up… and never forget, okay? A part of me will always be with you as the memory of that story is," her grandfather said, and she nodded and released him.

Then he told her to leave the room so that she didn't have to see him go, as she did so. Alone in the room, he took a breath with his eyes shut, and then he opened them to see the god of Death floating just above the foot of his bed as the room grew a little darker.

"So, you've finally come for me, have ya? Come on then. Do your worst!" the grandfather said with a smirk as his more confident self emerged.

"Alright," the god of Death said, as he brought forth his scythe with his skeleton hands.

The old man was ready to go, but he was a little surprised when the god of Death asked him a question,

"Did you really see them? The Sun and the Moon?"

"… My family probably doesn't believe it, but I did see them. At least who I assumed to be them considering that they seemed to glow under the eclipse… you've… never seen them?" The old man asked.

"No. But now I'm curious," the god of Death replied, as he lifted his scythe.

"Well, godspeed then. Hopefully you'll see them dance too," the old man replied.

"…" the god of Death lowered his scythe a bit, contemplating for a moment.

Then he held his scythe in one hand as he stood besides the old man and said, "Let me repay your kindness."

The old man smiled a bit and nodded, and the god of Death placed his hand on the grandfather's head, as he slowly drifted off into a sleeping death. Then the god of Death struck him with his scythe so that he wouldn't have to bare a painful death, and then he left with his soul to the Underworld so that he could judge it there and send it upward.

"Hmmm… the Sun and Moon. I am surprised that no one really talks about them," the other death god told his brother, as they watched the old soul dissipate in peace.

"Maybe because they preserve life, while we're the ones who take it," the death god said.

"Ah! So they must be trying to protect them! But if they are as the man has said, then they shouldn't worry since the actual Sun and Moon are technically very far away, and they are goddesses after all," the other death god inferred.

"Yeah, but we're still opposites though," the death god said, as he walked over to an opening where they could see the sky even from the Underworld, although no one could actually fall through it since it was only transparent from one side.

"Yes, that's quite true. But now I'm curious to meet them, Sans!" the other death god said excitedly.

"Heh. I am too, Papyrus. But I'm not sure if they would want to meet us," Sans, the god of Death, said as he noticed that it was still night.

"You do have a point, but what have we got to lose? I mean, we've never met them and no one really talks about them, so what if they are unaware of us?" Papyrus, the god of Death, asked.

"I think they are aware, considering they are the Sun and Moon. I'm sure they're aware of everything that happens considering the Earth," Sans replied.

"Even so, I would like to introduce myself, and you should too, brother!" Papyrus said, as he began to look over his black robe and fix his red hood-scarf around his neck.

"… Yeah, why not," Sans said, and then he disappeared.

"Wha- Sans! Don't go on without me!" Papyrus yelled out.

'Of course finding them will be tricky,' Sans thought as he was floating across the night sky, not bothered about being seen since no human could see him unless he allowed it or if they are close to dying, of which he would clearly be aware of.

'If I could find one, I could find both, but who's to say that one of them is even here on this side of the whole world or if what the man said was true...' Sans thought, as he started slowing down a bit.

'I would ask Toriel, but we are just getting on good terms with one another since we met, so I wouldn't want to jeopardize that if for some reason Papyrus and I aren't meant to meet the Sun and Moon… it is weird that no one told us about them be-' Sans' thoughts cut short when he thought he saw some form of light moving among a small group of clouds ahead.

He slowly moved upward to look above the clouds and see if anyone was there, but he didn't see anyone. As he approached the clouds, he saw the light again and he dove down, but no one was below the clouds. Then he decided to dive back up and stay up as he stood floating just above a corner of the group of clouds. There was silence for a moment, and then he noticed the light in the center of the clouds as a figure jumped up and did a spin in midair. The glowing white and blue energy that followed this figure spun as it did, and then it dispersed when they stopped. Then the figure noticed the skeleton reaper, as she stared at him in surprise, while he stared at her in shocked stillness.

Her eyes were white as fresh snow as they matched the long white scarf around her neck, and her long hair was black with indigo colored ends. She wore an indigo, off-shoulder, knee-high dress with side slits that showed her steel-blue shorts that reached above her knees, and steel-blue finger-less gloves that reaches up to her elbows. Her black belt was wrapped around her waist with a circular white diamond as the buckle, and her black boots reached halfway up her shins with small diamond circles in a trail over the sides of the boots.

After a moment longer, the female took a step forward because she was intrigued by the stranger on her cloud, but then she took a step back when he stepped forward. They stood still for a moment, and then he said,

"… I assume, you are a goddess?"

The female blinked a few times, and then she replied, "I am, yes. You must be a god, and by the looks of that scythe you carry… you are the god of Death, correct?"

"Yep. I'm one of two. Name's Sans," Sans said as he slowly floated closer to her.

"There are two of you?" She asked.

"Yeah. Me and my brother, Papyrus. I guess you've never heard of us before?" Sans said.

"I have heard of the god of Death, but I was unaware that there were two. We were only informed that you were here to set the world in balance, and to not be alarmed if people died," She said, as she slowly floated back when she noticed he was getting closer.

"I see. So, which goddess are you?" Sans asked, drifting towards the right, as he noticed that she was drifting the opposite way he was.

"I am the goddess of the Moon… my name is Curtain," She replied.

Sans paused, and then he said, "That's a nice name."

"Thank you," Curtain said, as she relaxed, seeing that he meant no harm.

"I wasn't expecting to meet you so soon. The world is pretty big, you know," Sans said, as he floated a little closer to her.

"Soon? You have been looking for me?" Curtain asked, staying in her place.

"Yeah. When I heard of the Sun and Moon goddesses, I became intrigued because I never heard of you two before. Nor has my brother. So I decided to take a chance to look for one of you, and here you are," Sans explained, now only a few feet away from her, yet he felt beckoned to move closer to her.

"I see. How did you hear of us?" Curtain asked, floating a little closer to him.

"An old man I… I had reaped earlier. He told a story to his grandkid, and I happened to hear it about you two," Sans replied.

"… It must be him. That same young man from a long time ago," Curtain said, reminiscing, as Sans was surprised.

"Young man?" He asked, and she explained,

"The Sun and I had come together one day in the middle of the Eclipse. We danced in commemoration of when we first met, and that we no longer needed to rely on it to speak to one another. The young man I speak of, happened to witness our dance, since we weren't hiding ourselves because we thought we were alone. He was amazed by us, and he told us so too, so we decided to reward him for his kindness by telling him our story. He thanked us and just left. He wasn't at all bothered by us, nor did he ramble to everyone of what he saw… he was quite a peculiar man."

Curtain looked downward sadly, "It's a shame that he is gone…"

"… Not really," Sans said, as Curtain looked back up at him and he came closer to her.

"Before I took him, he told his family that, as long as they remember the story and him, that he'll always be with them. He specifically told that to his grandkid. Now, I'm not sure if he said that to appease them in their time of grief over him, but the way he said it… made it feel true, and considering that he was telling the truth about seeing both of you, well… I guess that gives him enough credibility, don't you think?" Sans said.

"Huh… that's true," Curtain said, a small smile forming on her face.

"…"

"…"

"Sans?" Curtain asked, breaking the momentary silence between them.

"Yeah?" Sans replied.

"Do you mind if I see your scythe? I've never seen a real one up close before," Curtain asked.

"… Sure, just don't touch it, okay?" Sans instructed, and she nodded.

He brought forward his scythe as she looked at all it's details carefully. Although she wanted to hold this well-crafted staff, she was able to keep her hands away, and Sans returned his scythe behind his back.

"It's quite the weapon. Very well made, and pretty too," Curtain complimented.

"Heh heh. I never thought I'd hear anyone call it 'pretty,'" Sans said.

"Heh. I guess I just have a knack for finding beauty in the darkness… and maybe goodness," Curtain said, as she looked at him a little more keenly.

"Huh, beauty in the darkness… just like you," Sans said, and when he noticed her cheeks glow purple, his own cheekbones glowed blue.

"Th-Thank you, Sans," Curtain said with a smile.

"You're welcome," Sans said as he smiled back.

Sans felt entranced by her smile, and although he just met her, he felt comfortable around her. Maybe it was her connection to the darkness? Or was it that she was indeed pretty? Maybe both? He then decided to ask her something,

"Curtain?"

"Yes, Sans," Curtain replied.

"… Can I see you?" He asked.

"Huh? You cannot see?" Curtain asked, considering that maybe his empty sockets meant that he was blind.

"Wha- Oh no, it's not that. I can see fine. I just want to see you up close, you know," Sans clarified.

"… Well, I guess that's okay," Curtain replied, a little unsure but willing to trust him since he trusted her to show her the scythe.

Sans came closer to her, as he looked into her eyes and felt entranced by them. He rested his hand gently on her cheek as he let this entrancement take over in order to understand it. Curtain didn't move much as she was watching carefully what he was doing to try to understand what he was doing.

"Why… Why do I feel this way?" Sans questioned out loud, as Curtain's eyebrow arched.

"Feel what way?" Curtain asked, as Sans rested his forehead on hers.

"Like, I know you, but I don't. Like, I want to be close to you, but I just met you… Like, I want to see you smile all the time," Sans replied.

"S-Sans, that sounds similar to affection, or ardor, or zeal…" Curtain said, trying to find the correct word to say.

"… Why are you making me feel this way? How?" Sans asked, as he backed away to give her some space.

"I am not intentionally doing this. Nor do I have such an ability to manipulate emotions," Curtain replied.

Sans looked at her questionable, and Curtain waved her hands in front of herself a bit as she said, "I'm being sincere! I do not have an ability like that, and if I did I wouldn't use it, nor should it work on you."

"Yeah, but there is something I feel familiar about you… although I'm not sure my own emotions are affecting it," Sans admitted.

"… You too?" Curtain admitted as well.

"You feel it too, huh? I feel something familiar about you, but I can't figure out wh-" Sans stopped speaking.

"Sans! Where are you?!" Papyrus voice rang out, as the two turned towards where it came from.

Papyrus sprang up from the clouds as he looked around, and then Sans whistled to gain his attention since his back was turned to them, as Curtain wondered how he was able to do that. Papyrus turned around, and upon seeing them, he flew closer to them while saying,

"Sans! Don't just disappear like that! At least let me accompany you!"

"Sorry bro. I'll make sure next time," Sans said, and then his brother turned to Curtain.

"Ah! Why hello there! Are you a friend of my brother?" Papyrus asked.

"We just met," Curtain replied.

"Ah! I see! A new friend! My name is Papyrus, and you are…?"

"My name is Curtain."

"She's the Moon goddess," Sans said, as Papyrus eyes widened and he said,

"What?! Really?! She's quite a sight to behold! The old man was indeed correct!"

"Heehee. Thank you, Papyrus."

"So that leaves the Sun as our mystery goddess to find. I wonder if she holds the same beauty as you do," Papyrus wondered with a hand to his chin.

"… If you wish to meet her, I can call her. Then we can meet halfway," Curtain suggested, feeling that the two brothers had no ill intentions.

"Wowie! That would be great! I can't wait to meet her. I hope she is as lovely as you!" Papyrus said.

"Hope we aren't interrupting you or anything. We don't mean to impose," Sans said.

"No, it's quite alright. I'm sure she'd be just as happy to meet new friends as you two seem to be," Curtain said with a smile.

As they drifted through the skies, Curtain was able to mentally connect with the Sun and explained the situation, of which the Sun agreed to come over. They landed on a high mountain at dawn, and as their feet rested on the ground, they saw a light approaching from above.

"Ooh! Is that her?" Papyrus inquired.

"Yes, that's her," Curtain said, as she walked ahead of the skelebros to meet with the Sun as she landed on the ground gracefully.

Her medium-long orange hair was wavy with sparkles of gold, as her eyes were gold with sparkles of orange in them. She wore a gold sleeveless vest with a red long bell-sleeved shirt that was under the vest, and a long translucent skirt that was red on top and faded to orange on the bottom, with black leggings and gold boots up to her knees.

"My friend! It is so nice to see you, although I remember seeing you earlier today," The Sun said happily.

"Yeah, apparently I was found by these two skeleton brothers. Both are the gods of Death," Curtain said, almost proudly, as the Sun gasped and asked,

"Death?! Gods? What is it that they seek with us?"

"They just wanted to meet us. They happened to reap the man who saw us dance a while back, and he mentioned us," Curtain explained.

"Oh my! Really? Awww, the poor dear has passed then..." The Sun said.

"Well, at least he is at peace," Curtain said, as she patted her shoulder.

"So they wish to meet me?" The Sun asked after a moment of silence for the man.

"Yup. Do you want to?"

"Of course! I love making friends! But no matter how many, you will always be my best friend, Curtain!"

"Of course. As you are mine, and considering that circumstances, that makes us sisters as well."

"That's right!" The Sun said, as the two laughed a bit, and then they approached the skelebros.

"Why hello there, gentlemen! My name is Sun, but Marisol is fine, and I am the Sun godde-" The Sun, named Marisol stopped speaking when her gaze fixed on the taller skelebro.

"Pleased to meet you! My name is Papyrus and I'm the god of... Death..." Papyrus' words faltered as he locked eyes with the Sun goddess, stunned by her amazing aura as she was of his.

"Hi..." Papyrus managed to say, as he smiled in wonder of her.

"Hello..." Marisol said, as she also smiled while her cheeks warmed up more than they already were.

"Umm... are you two okay?" Sans asked, breaking the silence as he and Curtain stared between both of their siblings.

"Huh! Of course! I was just uhhhh…" Marisol tried to explain, and Papyrus finished her sentence and added,

"I was surprised is all! I mean, as I said before, I suspected that the goddesses of the Sun and Moon would be beautiful! I was just... taken aback by how luminous she is."

Marisol turned towards Papyrus and noticed a violet glow on his cheekbones, as she smiled and said,

"I feel the same way..."

"Nyeh? What do you mean?" Papyrus asked her, nervously.

"About you," Marisol replied, and although surprised, Papyrus smiled at her sweetly.

"H-Hey!" Curtain yelled out, as the two turned towards them.

"Bro! What even?!" Sans said, as he and Curtain were perturbed by the two.

Before Marisol and Papyrus could say anything, Curtain grabbed her as Sans grabbed him and pulled them a couple of yards apart.

"Bro I think you need step back for a minute…" Sans explained.

"You just met this guy! What are you being so googly eyed at him..." Curtain explained.

"They are the goddesses of the Sun and Moon, they're role is to preserve life, we take life. We're basically opposites..." Sans continued.

"It wouldn't work. We're devote to what we do as they are, and that's on opposite sides of the spectrum considering they take life and we conserve it…" Curtain continued.

"We're too different..." He said, in despondence.

"And furthermore..." She said, sadly.

"You just met!" Both said at the same time without realizing it.

Marisol and Papyrus noticed the feelings of their sibling, and could see that they were conflicted with their own explanations to them. They looked towards each other when their siblings finished speaking, and with a smile towards one another, then they turned their attention to them.

"But what about love at first sight?" Marisol asked with a whimsical smile as she approached Curtain.

"What? Ridiculous," Curtain said, although unsure of her own words deep down.

"And what's wrong with trying? Isn't that how people become friends too?" Papyrus asked in a fanciful way as he approached Sans.

"Bro, this is different. We're talking about love," Sans said, his cheekbones growing warm upon saying the last word.

"I think you need to loosen up, brother..." Papyrus said, as he turned his bro around and started pushing him.

"Maybe you should take time to see…" Marisol said, as she turned Curtain around and started pushing her.

"That maybe what you need..." Papyrus said, as she pushed his brother forward quicker.

"Is to give it a chance," Marisol said, as she pushed Curtain forward quicker.

When Marisol and Papyrus stopped pushing them, Sans and Curtain realized that they purposely pushed them closer to one another, with about a foot distance between them. Although they wanted to reproach their siblings, they took a moment to focus on one another, which revealed one of Sans' glowing white pupils, and purple flecks of light in Curtain's white irises. This one moment of deep focus was all they needed to see, as they smiled at one another more fondly.

Hmm... I forgot which one I was doing next... I'm going to have to check, but feel free to give suggestions still. I'm not done with this yet.

See ya soon.
