The skeleton before her was wearing a blue sweater, shorts, pink slippers, and a red scarf. He had dust on his clothes, but Dice figured there was probably a good reason. She was about to introduce herself when suddenly one of the skeleton's eyes blinked out and the other lit up blue. Like blue fire. He raised his hand and she lifted off the ground, nearly dropping the jar.

"Stop, wait! Don't spill the jar!"

Despite the permanent smile on the skeleton's face, Dice could tell he was disgusted.

"Why do you have that?"

"I-I'm a medium, I gathered their dust so I could speak with them if needed!"

Beside dice, the Abi smirked and chuckled. Soon, as Dice remained high above the ground, the ghost began to laugh.

"Oh, would you look at that? Apparently, we can both fly!"

"Shut up, this isn't funny!"

The look of bewilderment reminded Dice that the living couldn't see the dead. She'd gotten to the dead, and they could not only see each other, but also touch and hug and speak to them.

"What?"

"Look, I can prove everything, alright? Just let me down and I'll ask Toriel to...tell me something? A secret maybe?"

"The first joke she told him," Abi said into her ear, ignoring the questioning look she got in return. "Just say it!"

"O-okay. T-the first joke Toriel ever told you?"

Slowly, with much hesitation, the skeleton lowered Dice to the ground. Though, even as her feet touched the ground, his eye remained lit by the blue flames. The child took a shaky breath as she began whispering into the jar. She didn't really need to beg toriel for help like she thought. In fact, Toriel was happy the young child.

"What is it my child?"

"This monster has survived and wants a reason to spare me."

"I-I didn't say that!" But everybody ignored the skeleton as Toriel began telling the joke to the child. Dice giggled behind her hand and grinned almost as wide as the skeleton.

"Now go ahead, my child, tell Sans the joke."

"His name's Sans?"

"Yeah, now go ahead." Toriel tried to give Dice a small kiss on the forehead, but soon found she was unable. Instead, she moved to hug her daughter, but Abi faced away from them and deep into the forest. The queen just gave Dice a small smile before fading out of sight, returning to her body.

"I still miss my ex. But at least my aim's gettin better!"

A tear seemed to form in Sans' eye as he recognized the joke. "T-Toriel?" His fire was long gone as he sank to his knees. "Toriel, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop them. They've killed almost everyone and are already at the core."

"Frisk." Abi hissed the name, their hands clentched into fists and their eyes nearly tearing. She was crying soon, but Dice didn't know who or how to help. On one hand was Sans, who was mourning the death of everyone he cared about, on the other was Abi, the royal child who was supposed to protect their people from harm. They were both crying for the same people, but for totally different reasons.

Sorry it's so short.
