*SNOWDIN HOUSE*
It was a terrible night for Alphys, ever since those dreams in her journal and the attack
by the THING. She was paranoid, convinced that IT was out to get her, she kept seeing the THING in the corners of the wall, in her shadows and even in her dreams.
She wasn't safe anywhere...was she?
Whoever was out there, if there was a god, clearly did not want her to have a happy ending/life.
At least sans was there, her old lab partner back when she worked with..him.
sans had shown a surprisingly amount of care for what she thought was a lazy skeleton nowadays.
Was it because she was the Royal Scientist? Or did sans think somethink different?
She doesn't know at the moment, her emotions are like a tornado + a hurricane, its all just a big mess.
She just wanted to go home and watch some more Anime...if only.
She sat in her kinda-dirty mattress, looking at the mess of the room that was sans.
What had happened to him? She remembered him as a bright and wise-cracking joker
who always had a nice joke to say at the right situation, he lit up the lab when the boss darkened it...
Nowadays it looked like he was a sentry, why didn't he go back after...what?
She couldn't remember that well, she knew the lab shut down after...something, an accident maybe shut down and everyone had to leave, she remembered her feelings of sadness but yet relief.
Something was wrong here, things had changed too rapidly and too fast to be normal.
Someone here was pulling all the strings and was trying to make her scared enough to not think about it all.
Alphys now had something to work for, she still yet had to figure out her strange "charged" magic fully but that could be put on hold.
She was gifted with a bright mind and strong sense of how certain things worked.
Her greatest mistake had destroyed her passion and sent her into a spiraling circle of self-hatred.
And the flower who disappeared, nothing made sense when she thought about it but now Alphys knew what she had to do.
Even though she was scared, even though it was attacked and partially destroyed in the chaos that ensured, even though she might be attacked again and could be trapped inside if the lab doors were destroyed.
She had to go back to the lab, find her dream journal and then go down to the dark lab, the "true" lab and find her bosses documents, she knew it wasn't cleaned out but just shoved in a dark room somewhere down, as they had to find a new royal scientist quickly.
She would find the answers no matter what happened, but would the THING let her?
Now getting up from her mattress, with a determined look on her face.
She'll have to do this alone, she would invite sans but she wasn't ready nor did she think she would ever be ready to show sans her greatest mistake, it could wait another day.
As she walked out of the door, she heard snoring coming from the other room, the human?
Thats where they ended up? She always found it strange that the human seemingly disappeared from the monster world's eyes, even with her cameras.
It was nice to know anyways, she couldn't blame them for not wanting to face Asgore, as the whole "kill humans and take their SOULS" law didn't really sound appealing to anyone who was a human.
Still as any other monster, she wanted the barrier broken, to feel the sun on her scales.
Hopefully, the old documents her boss had would show her the answers, maybe to even break the barrier...she wished.
She saw sans and papyrus's fridge, they wouldn't mind if she took a little food, just for a day or so?
She was a guest after all, guests first.
Welp, hope they weren't too mad or needed it that much, all she saw was frozen spaghetti, a whole..gigantic...block of it...
Guess they really like pasta after all, Alphys then cut up the block of food into carry-able pieces and put it in her phone's dimensional box.
...Wait, she was in Snowdin and she was a Lizard, this couldn't go well if she stepped outside without being prepared.
Did they have a spare jacket or anything? She couldn't find one if anythi-
"Hehe, were you planning on leaving without me noticing?"
Alphys jumped...once again.
Sans stepped out of a suspiciously shaped shadow in the corner of the room.
"Tibia honest, i think i already know the answer." He grinned as always, but Alphys couldn't tell if it was a good grin or something else..
Alphys didn't even notice the pun.
"Sans..."
"Alph, please...i think its best you stay here, you saw what happened back in your lab right? Thats where im assuming your going back too at least, Its safe here.."
Why was sans acting like this, he usually didn't care about anything right?
It was just for one night, because the lab wasn't safe, but it was her home and she had a mission.
"I need to do something at m-my Lab, but i need to do it alone...trust me."
Sans stepped closer, still wearing that now admittedly scary grin, it was like a mask, as long as he held it up, no one could tell what he was thinking.
"Why? what could be so important that you would have to leave immediatly and without telling anyone? What if something happened to you and I wasn't there?"
"I-I just need to ok! please, dont follow me. i know you care but your scaring me sans...its something i need to do alone, ill be back soon..i promise." Alphys stated, She knew sans cared but she didn't want him like this, this was scary and not like him.
Sans only stood there for a minute, but what felt like forever..
"Fine, but promise me, you'll be back..and at least take a coat.." Sans took off his coat and gave it to Alphys.
"F-Fine.." Alphys didn't want to make a promise with sans when he was like this, but if it meant sans wouldn't see her greatest mistake, then she had to do it.
Alphys felt determined to find the truth about all of this.
Authors Note: Wow, sans was really creepy this time around, don't ya think?
I dont think he knows how to deal with emotions after surpressing them for so long and so often.
He does mean well...
I dont own Undertale, and im not Toby Fox.
