"The convenience of that lamp still fills you with determination." Chara intoned, still chuckling slightly.

"Really?" Peter asked, trudging on. "I mean, I guess.."

As he continued, he noticed a box by the side of the road. There was a sign next to it.

"This is a box," Chara read. "You can put an item inside or take an item out. The same box will appear later, so don't worry about coming back. Sincerely, a box lover."

"A box lover?" Peter asked. Assuming that Chara was shrugging, he looked inside. All that was there was a glove. It looked tough. Peter wanted to save what he had for later, so he put the Spider Donut and Butterscotch Pie inside the box. "Well, that takes care of that."

Suddenly, around a bend in the road, he nearly crashed into Papyrus and Sans.

"SO, AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT UNDYNE," Papyrus was saying. Suddenly, he spotted Peter. He did a double take, then Sans did a double take. This continued for a ridiculous amount of time. Then, both turned their backs to Peter.

"SANS! OH MY GOSH! IS THAT..." Papyrus leaned in to whisper to Sans. It wasn't very effective. "A HUMAN!?"

They turned to look back at Peter, but Sans stared past him. "uh, that's a rock." He indicated a small rock nearby.

"OH." Papyrus noted, somewhat confused.

Sans looked directly at Peter. "hey, what's that in front of the rock?"

Papyrus turned to look again. "OH MY GOSH!" He yelled with a surprised look on his face. Turning back to Sans, he attempted another whisper. "(IS... IS THAT A HUMAN)"

"(yes)" Sans fake whispered back, grinning. Then again, he seemed to always be grinning.

"OH MY GOSH!" Papyrus yelled in amazement. "SANS! I FINALLY DID IT! UNDYNE WILL... I'M GONNA... I'LL BE SO... POPULAR! POPULAR! POPULAR!" Resisting the urge to squee, Papyrus cleared his throat. Or seemed to. He didn't have a throat to speak of. "HUMAN! YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS AREA!"

Peter scratched his head. "... I wont?"

"YES." Papyrus replied. "I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL STOP YOU!"

Peter was feeling confused, so he shot Sans a look. Sans made a "Go on" motion, but otherwise remained silent.

"I mean... Oh no! You shall not! I, the Amazing Spider-man, must pass this area!"

He could almost hear Chara facepalm. "You are all idiots."

He ignored her.

"YES, I SHALL!" Papyrus continued. "I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU! YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL! THEN..." He paused, searching for what to say next. "THEN!" He paused again, looking confused. "I'M... I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT."

"My SOUL will be forcibly removed from my body and I'll die in agony?" Peter guessed.

"WHAT?" Papyrus seemed shocked. "I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT! BUT, IN ANY CASE! CONTINUE... ONLY IF YOU DARE!" He ran off, chuckling loudly to himself. "NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!"

When he was gone, Sans turned back to Peter with what could have been an amused look on his face. Peter couldn't tell. "well, that went well. don't sweat it, kid." He gave Peter a wink. "i'll keep an eyesocket out for ya."

"I hope your bro will throw me a bone." Peter replied, giving Sans finger guns.

"only if he thinks you're too... humerus." Sans replied, returning the finger guns." He then walked away as well.

"... What." Chara said. "That was... Something."

"No kidding." Peter replied, trudging until he came to a cardboard box in the rough shape of the Sentry Station that Sans had. "What is this?"

"The sign reads..." Chara cleared her throat, which would have been odd in and of itself, but suddenly a small snowflake-shaped dragon creature flew towards Peter and started a fight.

"AGH!" Peter yelped as his spider-sense went off. "What in-"

"Oh that?" Chara asked. "That's a Snowdrake."

"Clever." Peter replied.

"This teen comedian fights to keep a captive audience." Chara continued.

"Ice puns are... SNOW PROBLEM!" He said, chucking what looked like snow-crescents at Peter.

"Hah!" Peter replied, bounding over them. "That's a good one!"

"See? Laughs!" The Snowdrake cheered. "Dad was wrong!"

"Let me try one." Peter ducked under a flurry of pellets. "It's really... Ice to meet you!"

"IS THIS WHOLE AREA FULL OF COMEDIANS!?" Chara seemed to be getting exasperated by the constant puns.

"Eh, heard that one." Snowdrake replied. "But I appreciate the effort."

"Can I go now?"

Snowdrake shrugged. "Sure! Make sure to come back for more great jokes!"

As the fight ended, Peter shook his head. "C'mon Char, puns are really... ice!"

"ANYWAY!" Chara changed the subject. "Still want to know what the "Sentry station" has written on it?"

"Did you just use sarcastic quotes?" Peter asked. "Cause I can't see you, but that seems like what you did."

"Yes." She said flatly. "Anyways... Ehem, "YOU OBSERVE THE WELL-CRAFTED SENTRY STATION!"

Peter chuckled at her Papyrus impersonation. "Debatable.

""WHO COULD HAVE BUILT THIS, YOU PONDER..."" She continued, trying not to laugh. ""I BET IT WAS THAT VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN!"" She paused a moment, as though looking closer. ""(NOTE: NOT YET A VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN.)""

They both were laughing as Peter moved on. Further on was a sign, which stated that there was to be absolutely no moving.

"Odd." Peter stated, walking on. All of the sudden. a dog popped up from behind a nearby sentry station.

"Did something move?" It asked in a husky voice. "Was it my imagination?" It looked about. "I can only see moving things. If something WAS moving..." It continued searching the area, but Peter had stopped moving when it first spoke. "For example, a human... I'll make sure it NEVER moves again!" Suddenly, a fight began, and Peter found himself face to face with a masked dog.

"Um... who is this?" He whispered.

"Doggo." Chara replied, matter-of-factly and at normal volume. "He's easily excited by movement. His hobbies include squirrels."

"Don't move an inch!" Doggo warned. Suddenly, a long blue sword hurtled at Peter! He went to dodge it, but it's length prevented that. As he crashed through, pain swept through his SOUL.

"Didn't you hear him?" Chara exclaimed. "Don't. Move."

Peter was behind Doggo now, and decided to pet him. The dog was adorable. As soon as he did, Doggo screeched.

"WHAT!" He exclaimed happily. "I'VE BEEN PET!" He continued exclaiming that last word, looking about excitedly.

As Chara suggested, Peter remained motionless the next time the blue sword came into view, and it passed over him unharmed. Since petting worked so well, Peter tried it again.

"WHERE'S THAT COMING FROM!" Doggo exclaimed. Peter continued to pet. "THERE'S NO END TO IT!"

Noting the fact that Doggo was distracted, Peter spared him and exited the fight. Doggo looked slightly shaken.

"S-S-S-Something pet me... something that isn't m-m-moving..." Doggo gasped. "I'm gonna need some dog treats for this!" He vanished below the counter of his sentry station once more.

As Peter kept moving, he spotted Sans.

"hi, kid." Sans said, tipping an imaginary hat. "i've got something important for you to remember."

'K, shoot." Peter replied.

Sans looked left, then right. "my brother has a very special attack. if you see a blue attack, don't move and it wont hurt you." He thought for a moment. "here's an easy way to keep it in mind. imagine a stop sign. when you see a stop sign, you stop, right?"

Peter nodded, unsure as to where Sans was going with this.

"stop signs are red." Sans continued. "so... imagine a blue stop sign instead. simple, right? when fighting, think about blue stop signs."

"That... that makes no sense." Peter replied.

"No kidding." Chara replied.

Sans shrugged, and Peter walked on. Suddenly, a small snowman with a cap made of ice entered a fight with him.

Peter shook off the effects of his spider-sense. "Chara, what do we have here?"

"Ice Cap." She replied. "This teen wonders why it isn't named "Ice hat.""

"Snow? No, it's hat residue!" Ice Cap said, launching white spikes at Peter. "

"He seems pretty obsessed with that hat..." Peter noted. "Maybe if I don't say anything..."

"He looks pretty annoyed at that..." Chara stated.

"Hey! Look at me!" Ice Cap continued throwing spikes at Peter, who was using his spider-sense to dodge them with his back turned.

"He's checking if you're looking at his hat." Chara said. "It's working!"

"Better a HATTER than a HATER!" Ice Cap yelled.

Peter had an idea. Spinning quickly, he flung a web and snatched the hat right off Ice Cap. The cap melted, and Ice Cap found himself a small ice cube.

"I... I..." Ice Cap sobbed. "My hat! I'm nothing without my hat!"

""Ice Cap" is no more." Chara noted sarcastically, but with just enough humor that Peter felt bad.

"Hey man..." Peter knelt next to him. "A wise man once told me that if I was nothing without an article of clothing I had, then I shouldn't have it. And I'm sure Ice Cap is still someone without his hat."

"Hmm..." Ice Cap thought a moment. "I guess hats are for posers! I am a new Ice-Monster!"

Peter smiled, feeling that he'd done the right thing, and exited the fight. Walking North, he came upon a snowman. Unsurprisingly, the Snowman began to talk.

"Hello. I am a snowman."

Peter paused, wondering why he was even surprised by this anymore. "Yes, yes you are."

"I want to see the world... but I cannot move."

Peter looked him up and down. "Um... I can see that."

"If you would be so kind, traveler, please... take a piece of me and bring it very far away."

Peter stared at the snowman, shrugged, scooped off a small piece, and put it in his pocket. "Here's to hoping it wont melt."

The snowman seemed to smile larger. "Thank you... good luck!"

Peter's heart felt light, but the feeling vanished when he came upon Sans and Papyrus in the next open area. It was replaced with humor.

"REALLY THOUGH!" Papyrus was yelling, "THAT HUMAN!" He spotted Peter and caught himself mid-sentence. "OH-HO! SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!" Clearing his throat again, Papyrus posed heroically. "IN ORDER TO STOP YOU... MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES!"

"How big we talking?" Peter asked. "Hundred Piece? Thousand? I'm on a bit of a time crunch."

Papyrus laughed. "NOT CARDBOARD PUZZLES! REAL PUZZLES! LIKE THIS ONE!"

Peter looked in front of him. "I give up, where is it?"

"RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!" Papyrus exclaimed. "AND I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE... QUITE SHOCKING! FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS THE INVISIBLE... ELECTRICITY MAZE!"

He paused for effect, but since Peter still couldn't see the maze, he wasn't sure how much awe he should be showing.

"YOU SEE, WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THIS MAZE," Papyrus continued, "THIS ORB WILL ADMINISTER A HEARTY ZAP!" He held up the orb in question. "SOUND LIKE FUN?"

"Not really?"

"I THOUGHT SO!" Papyrus laughed. "OK, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW."

"What's your plan to get through this one?" Chara asked.

"Well, I can detect the walls with my spider-sense." Peter replied. "It shouldn't be too hard." The moment he stepped forward. however, Papyrus was blasted by a strong shock of electricity.

"SANS!" He yelled, stomping his foot. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

"i think the human has to hold the orb." Sans replied.

"OH, OKAY." Papyrus replied, walking through the maze. Peter watched as his footsteps created a trail in the snow as he walked to Peter.

"HOLD THIS PLEASE!" Papyrus passed the orb to Peter, and then ran out of the maze the same way he ran in. "OKAY, TRY NOW!"

Peter looked at the footprints, then looked at Papyrus, then the footprints.

"WHAT!?" Chara exclaimed. "It can't be THAT easy!"

Peter shrugged and walked through the maze to the other side.

"...it was that easy." Chara noted, dumbfounded.

"INCREDIBLE! YOU SLIPPERY SNAIL!" Papyrus exclaimed. "YOU SOLVED IT SO EASILY... TOO EASILY! HOWEVER! THE NEXT PUZZLE WILL NOT BE EASY! IT IS DESIGNED BY MY BROTHER, SANS! YOU WILL SURELY BE CONFOUNDED!" He paused a moment. "I KNOW I AM. NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEH!" He proceeded to moonwalk out of the room.

Sans motioned Peter over. "hey, thanks... my brother seems like he's having fun. by the way, did you see that weird outfit he's wearing?"

Peter scratched his head. "The outfit is... weird?"

"we made that a few weeks ago for a costume party. he hasn't worn anything else since..."

Peter wrinkled his nose. "Ew?"

"he calls it his "battle body."" Sans shook his head. "man. isn't my brother cool?"

Peter thought for a moment. "You know what? I think he may be."

"If he washes that suit." Chara groaned. "For real."
