Chap. 3 A Change in Perspective

SANS stood where the kid, Alex, had left him.

He was fine with being left alone, he took it as an opportunity to try and make sense of his situation.

He wasn't entirely sure how he got here in the first place, he had mishaps with shortcuts in the past, but none ended up anything like this.

And now his shortcuts weren't even working.

He was stuck in this place where only one person could see, hear, or touch him, for reasons he didn't know.

All of these were only facts, there wasn't really much sense to them.

Sans stood contemplating for awhile, but to no avail.

He wasn't sure what he could do, or if he could anything, so he stood, the birds chirping around him completely unaware of his existence.

DIXON, contented with a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and grits, was about to go back to his flowers, when he noticed Alex seemed in a bigger rush than usual to get back outside.

"Hey, Alex!" He said, running to catch up with his sister. "What's up? You've been kinda jumpy today."

"Oh, it's nothing." Alex said with a smile. "Really, I'm just excited for spring break, that's all!"

"Okaaaay," Dix raised an eyebrow. "Well, I'll just jet back to my flowers then."

"Sounds great!" Alex gave me a thumbs up then ran outside.

Dix followed her at a slower pace until he reached a pot that was raised on a circular stone, it was his dandelions, and they were fully bloomed.

Dandelions were Alex's favorite, partially because yellow was her favorite color, partially because whenever they turned to seed, she liked to wish for adventure.

And then about a week after Dix would find dandelions sporadically spread about in his other flower assortments.

Dix picked up the flower pot to show Alex, running over to the bench that she stood in front of.

"Alex!" Dix yelled. "Look, The dandelions are fully in bloom!"

Alex's eyes widened. "Dix! Look out!"

"Huh?" But it was too late, Dix tripped over a big stone in the path, threw the pot to the side, and stumbled into Alex.

"No!" Dix watched helplessly as the pot flew towards some of his other plants.

But then the flower pot stopped mid flight, and landed on the ground, unharmed.

Dix stared. "How did it... not... break?" He walked over and picked up as well as closely examined the flower pot. "That's really weird... things like that don't just happen."

Alex laughed nervously. "I mean, I could tell you how, but I highly doubt even you would believe me."

"Alex..." Dix faced Alex, looking her straight in the eye. "Of course I'll believe you! Or I'll at least try."

Alex looked at the area where the flower pot had miraculously stopped in mid air.

"Okay..." She said. "Just promise you won't call me crazy."
