To their front, the Warners found a box with a sign planted in the ground beside it.
This is a box. 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.
Wakko looked inside and found a tough, worn, pink leather glove. Despite being a finger short, he put it on his hand. As they decided to check out what was on their side, they were suddenly pulled back. They turned around to see Snowdrake flutter forth.
"'Ice' to meet you," said Snowdrake.
The Warners chuckled at Snowdrake's joke, finding it slightly amusing.
"See!? Laughs! Dad was wrong!"
He fluttered away happily, leaving behind twelve pieces of gold. Passing Snowdrake, they found a fishing rod affixed to the ground by a lake. Reeling it in, all that was attached to it was a photo of a weird-looking monster.
Call me! Here's my number!
Yakko threw the picture back into the lake.
"Goodbyeeeeeee nurse!"
Going back to the path, they overheard Papyrus and Sans having a conversation.
"SO, AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT UNDYNE,"
He stopped talking as he noticed the Warners walking towards him and his brother. He looked at Sans, then back to the Warners, and repeated this process until he spun around in circles. When the Warners finally stopped approaching the skeletons, Sans and Papyrus looked away.
"SANS! OH MY GOD! ARE THOSE...HUMANFOLK?!"
"uhhhh...actually, i think that's a rock."
"OH."
The Warners looked behind them to see that they were indeed standing next to a rock.
"Is everything conveniently-placed around here or do we just have really good luck today?" said Yakko.
"Beats me," Wakko shrugged.
"hey, what are those standing in front of the rock?"
Papyrus examined the Warners once more, this time acknowledging their presence.
"OH MY GOD!"
He quickly turned back around to Sans.
"ARE...ARE THOSE HUMANFOLK" he whispered, able to keep his voice low for a person who spoke in all capitals.
"yes," Sans whispered back.
"OH MY GOD!"
Yakko and Wakko snickered.
"Whoa," said Dot, "dumber than a-"
She stopped midsentence as she had her first glimpse of Papyrus. Mesmerized by his looks, he was the most beautiful creature she ever saw. His outfit consisted of a white torso-piece with various golden trims, a red cape, red gloves trimmed with gold, blue briefs with a golden belt, and long red boots. His long legs also had her captivated; it was hard to take her eyes off them. Yet again, it was hard to take her eyes off of him. The way he went crazy upon finding the Warners was something she found adorable. Not cute, but adorable.
"SANS! I FINALLY DID IT! UNDYNE WILL...I'M GONNA...I'LL BE SO..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Dot couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Hellooooooooooo skele-nurse!"
She leaped over to Papyrus and tackled him in a hug, taking him by surprise.
"Girls," Yakko groaned.
"Go fig," Wakko responded.
"It's so nice to finally meet ya! Sans told us so much!"
She was about to lean in for a kiss, Papyrus too innocent to figure it out, but a blue aura surrounded her and she found herself being picked up. Looking to the side, one of Sans' eyes glowed as he revealed himself to be the one who was levitating her.
"kid, give the guy some space. you knocked the wind out of him."
He put her down. Papyrus got up, slightly dazed, as Dot sweetly put her hands behind her back.
"Sorry, got carried away."
"WOWIE, HOW CAN I STAY MAD AT SUCH A CUTE FACE?"
"Ya think I'm cute?" said Dot.
"VERY CUTE. BOOP!"
Dot giggled as Papyrus gently touched her nose. Papyrus, realizing Yakko and Wakko were still on the other side of the path, cleared his throat to get their attention.
"HUMANFOLK! 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! I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT."
"We'll spend more time together?" Dot offered.
"MAYBE. IN ANY CASE! CONTINUE...ONLY IF YOU DARE!"
He walked away laughing.
"NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!"
"You can capture me any day, Papyrus!" Dot shouted back at him, swooning.
Papyrus didn't seem to hear her...or notice she was in love with him altogether.
"well, that went well."
"Yeesh," said Yakko, shaking his head, "she fell head over heels for a skeleton!"
"i see you have a thing for my brother," said Sans, amused at Dot's affection for Papyrus.
"What can I say?" said Dot. "Girls love tall, handsome, and dreamy."
"So, did we make a good impression?" said Yakko.
"yep. don't sweat it, kids. i'll keep an eyesocket out for ya."
He followed Papyrus, who was too far ahead for him and the Warners to see. Following the skele-bros, they found a cardboard box with some narration on it. Knowing it was from Papyrus, Dot did her best to imitate him.
"YOU OBSERVE THE WELL-CRAFTED SENTRY STATION," she boomed. "WHO COULD HAVE BUILT THIS, YOU PONDER...I BET IT WAS THAT VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN! (NOTE: NOT YET A VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN.)"
"Never thought you'd be falling for a corpse," said Yakko.
"Hey, leave him alone!" said Dot. "At least he's got guts."
"Didn't see any on him," said Wakko, earning a chuckle from Yakko.
Dot rolled her eyes and walked ahead with her brothers, finding a sign.
Absolutely NO MOVING!
Next to the sign was another sentry-station, where a large black-and-white dog was rising up from inside.
"Did something move? Was it my imagination?"
His eyes shifted. The Warners were finding the Underground even more amusing as each second passed by.
"I can only see moving things. If something was moving...For example, a humanfolk...I'll make sure it never moves again!"
Another encounter was initiated, dragging the Warners right in front of the station. Doggo blocked the way.
"Don't move an inch!" he shouted.
Raising a sword over the Warners, they stood perfectly still just to see what would happen. They snickered when nothing bad happened to them, realizing Doggo gave away his own trick. Due to them not moving, Doggo didn't notice the kids. Yakko patted Doggo's head.
"Nice try, buddy."
"WHAT! I'VE BEEN PET! POT? PAT? POT? POT? PAT?"
The Warners spared Doggo, who left behind thirty pieces of gold for them. Doggo retreated back into the sentry-station.
"S-S-S-Something pet me...Something that isn't m-m-moving...I'm gonna need some dog treats for this!"
"He must've smoked too many dog treats," said Yakko, signaling to a cigarette-like bone on the ground.
Up ahead, they ran into Sans, standing next to an ice rink.
"Hey, Sans!" said Wakko.
"hey, guys. here's something important to remember."
The Warners listened to whatever Sans had to say.
"my brother has a very special attack."
Dot lit up instantly at the mention of Papyrus.
"if you see a blue attack, don't move and it won't hurt you. here's an easy way to keep it in mind."
"Wasn't that the attack Doggo used on us earlier?" said Wakko.
"Sounds like it," said Yakko.
"imagine a stop sign. when you see a stop sign, you stop, right?"
Dot nodded.
"stop signs are red. so imagine a blue stop sign instead. simple, right? when fighting, think about blue stop signs."
"Got it," said Yakko.
They didn't mind the silly thought of a blue stop sign, but were surprised they didn't come up with that earlier. Slipping on the ice and yelling, they had to grab the sign planted in the center to stop themselves from falling. But before they could read the sign, they were pulled right through it as Lesser Dog appeared. Deciding to pacify the dog, they thought about petting him. They barely lifted their hands up and he got excited. He let them pet him, but accidentally swung his sword around. A blue one passed through the Warners, but Dot got hit by a regular attack shortly afterward. Lesser Dog panted as the Warners continued to pet him, his neck getting longer and longer. Soon, Lesser Dog went where no dog has ever gone before. He left behind seven pieces of gold and let the Warners read the sign.
"That was fun," said Yakko. "Anyway, North: Ice, South: Ice, West: Ice, East: Snowdin Town...and ice."
"Hey," said Dot, "what's up there?"
They went north of the sign and found a snowman.
"Hello. I am a snowman. I want to see the world...But I cannot move. If you would be so kind, travelers, please...Take a piece of me and bring it very far away."
They looked at each other, then shrugged.
"Wouldn't hurt," said Yakko, taking a piece out of the snowman and putting it in Wakko's Gag Bag. "Don't worry, we won't let it melt."
"Thank you...good luck!"
They left and went east to hear Sans and Papyrus bickering again.
"YOU'RE SO LAZY! YOU WERE NAPPING ALL NIGHT!"
"i think that's called...sleeping."
"Woo!" Yakko cheered, liking Sans' one-liner. "You tell him, Sans!"
"EXCUSES, EXCUSES!"
"Yoohoo!" said Dot, waving at the skele-bros and getting their attention.
Papyrus' frustration turned to glee.
"OH-HO! THE HUMANFOLK ARRIVE!"
"Did ya miss us?" said Wakko.
Sans nodded, letting Papyrus do the talking.
"IN ORDER TO STOP YOU...MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES!"
The Warners cheered, loving the fact that they had more puzzles to solve. Considering their experience with Toriel, these puzzles were bound to be harder...and that meant they got to have more fun.
"I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE...QUITE SHOCKING! FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS THE INVISIBLE...ELECTRICITY MAZE!"
"I thought he hated puns," Wakko whispered.
"Me too," Yakko responded.
"WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THIS MAZE, THIS ORB WILL ADMINISTER A HEARTY ZAP! SOUND LIKE FUN? BECAUSE! THE AMOUNT OF FUN YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE, IS ACTUALLY RATHER SMALL I THINK. OK, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW."
The Warners, seeing that the orb was not in their possession, were quick to come to the conclusion that they were in no true harm. Yet they decided to fool Papyrus into thinking he was gonna win.
"Ladies first," said Yakko, falsely acting like a gentleman.
Wakko giggled.
"Joke's on you," said Dot, "I'll get to him first."
"THE LADY HUMANFOLK IS BRAVE," Papyrus said to himself as Dot got ready.
Upon contact with the invisible maze, the tables turned, just as the Warners predicted, and Papyrus got electrocuted. They laughed as his body turned black for a moment, then reverted back to normal. Both skeletons must've known a thing or two about toon physics. He stomped his foot angrily on the snow-covered ground.
"SANS! WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"i think the humanfolk have to hold the orb."
"OH, OKAY."
Papyrus' enthusiasm returned as he walked to the Warners in a peculiar pattern, carrying the orb and unintentionally leaving behind footprints.
"HOLD THIS PLEASE!"
Dot smirked at her brothers.
"See this, guys? This is a true gentleman."
Papyrus threw the orb into the air, Dot making a show of catching it by leaping into the air.
"Show off," Yakko muttered.
Papyrus ran back the same way he came, still unaware that he gave away the pattern.
"OKAY, TRY NOW!"
"Come on," said Dot.
She followed Papyrus' footsteps, her brothers staying close behind her.
"INCREDIBLE! YOU SLIPPERY SNAILS! 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! I KNOW I AM! NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!"
He moonwalked away, despite not moving his feet. Sans took another moment to talk to the Warners, seeing Papyrus wouldn't come back.
"hey, thanks..."
"For what?" said Yakko.
"my brother seems like he's having fun. by the way, did you see that weird outfit he's wearing? we made that a few weeks ago for a costume party. he hasn't worn anything else since...keeps calling it his 'battle body.' man. isn't my brother cool?"
"He's the coolest..." said Dot.
Sans nudged her.
"gettin' a boner yet, dot?"
He winked at her, earning snickers from Yakko and Wakko. She rolled her eyes at Sans as they continued down the path. Thinking about a future with Papyrus filled her with determination.
