After nearly half an hour of walking Frisk rounded a bend, and found himself staring straight at both Sans and Papyrus, who were talking together. Frisk approached, knowing that Sans was friendly to him, while Papyrus just seemed to be harmless. Papyrus was first to notice. Immediately the two turned their backs to Frisk to converse briefly. Then Papyrus turned back.

"Human! You shall not pass this area! I, the great Papyrus, will stop you! I will then capture you! You will be delivered to the capital! Then…THEN…" Papyrus's voice became quiet, but Frisk could just overhear. "I'm not sure what's next…" Then he continued at his normal rattily voice. "In any case! Continue…only if you dare!" He turned away and ran off, cackling to himself. Frisk was struggling to hold in the bouts of laughter coming from him. Sans stayed behind.

"Well, that went well. Don't sweat it, kid. I'll keep an eyesocket out for ya." Then Sans too followed after his brother.

Further down the path, the trail opened into a clearing. Here Frisk caught up once more to the two sets of bones. He could hear Papyrus shouting angrily at Sans.

"YOU'RE SO LAZY! You were napping all night!" Sans, who probably would have rolled his eyes, simply stated back

"I think that's called sleeping." Before Papyrus could think of a comeback, he spotted Frisk out of the corner of his eye.
"Oh-ho! The human arrives!" Instantly Papyrus's mood seemed to brighten.

"In order to stop you, my brother and I have created some puzzles! I think you will find this first one, quite shocking! For you see, this is the invisible electricity maze!" Frisk then noticed that a bunch of snow had been cleared away to form a large square between him and Papyrus. "When you touch the walls of this maze, this orb will administer a hearty zap!" Papyrus continued his explanation as he pulled out a blue orb. "Ok, you can go ahead now." Papyrus spoke, not realizing he still held the orb in his hand. Frisk walked two steps into the square, and Papyrus promptly shrieked as the orb shocked the skeleton.

"SANS! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Papyrus now screamed as he stamped his foot furiously. "I think…the human has to hold the orb." Sans responded. Frisk was thoroughly enjoying this. Papyrus walked over through the square and handed Frisk the orb, before returning to the other side. However, Frisk noticed that as Papyrus walked through the maze, he had left footprints in the snow perfectly laying out where he needed to go. So when Frisk took the orb and began, he completed the maze in mere seconds.

"Incredible! You solved that puzzle so easily! Too easily…" Papyrus grumbled. "HOWEVER! The next puzzle will NOT be so easy! It is designed by my brother, Sans. You will surely be confounded!" With this, the pare of skeletons moved off. Sans glanced and shrugged over his shoulder at Frisk. Frisk, wasting no time, quickly followed. They soon came to yet another square. This one had a piece of paper in the middle of it.

"HUMAN!" Papyrus declared. "I hope you're ready for…" He paused. "Sans…where's the puzzle?"

"It's right there, on the ground." Sans replied. "Trust me, there's no way he can get past this one." Frisk walked forward to the paper. When he picked it up it was just a crossword puzzle. Throwing it aside he walked the rest of the way across until he stood toe-to-toe with Papyrus.

"Sans, that didn't do anything!" Papyrus exclaimed, to which Sans replied,

"Whoops, I knew I should have used today's crossword instead."

"I don't believe this." Papyrus grumbled once more. He didn't even bother to cackle this time as he once more set out to the next puzzle. They soon reached another section of wood, though this one seemed to have lighting as the ground.

"Human! You're gonna love this puzzle. It was made by the great Dr. Alphys! See these tiles? Once I throw this switch. They will begin to change colour! Each colour has a different function. Red tiles are impassible. You can't walk on them. Yellow tiles are electric tiles, which will shock you if you walk on them. Green tiles are alarm tiles! If you step on these, you will have to fight a monster. Pink tiles are…well they're pink. And they don't do anything. Did you get that?!"

"Well, not really—"

"Great!" Papyrus cut off Frisk. "Then let's begin." *Papyrus hit a switch on a computer looking machine. Immediately the tiles lit up. But then they changed. Then they changed again, and again, the changes getting faster and faster. Suddenly smoke poured from the machine and the puzzle stopped. All the tiles were pink. When Papyrus saw this, he simply stomped away. Sans chuckled to himself and followed to attempt to calm his brother down. Frisk turned down a different path though.

He soon came to a little village by the name of Snowdin. After a little bit of exploration, he noticed an inn at one end of the village. Sighing he walked inside. During his travels in the forest, he had picked up the occasional gold coin laying on the ground. Frisk used what he had to pay for a room for the night. He would continue travelling come morning.
