The large door opened and to both of the brothers' suprise, the child looked at them with a warm and loving gaze. It was Frisk. They both sighed in relief as they led Frisk through different puzzles, making jokes and laughing.
The girl looked like a normal child. There was no sign of the soulless creature that plagued the monsters before.
"Why are you staring at me," the child asked softly. Papyrus hadn't realized that he was staring at the girl.
"Sorry human! I was just lost in thought!"
"What were you thinking about?"
"oh, he was just thinking about ways to improve on his spaghetti recipe," Sans explained. He waved his hand dismissively. "nothing to worry about."
Thank you for the cover Sans!
"Yeah! As a chef, I must always do better than before," Papyrus exclaimed. "And I want to become the best spaghetti chef in the entire Underground!"
Frisk smiled. "I believe you can do it!" She gave him a thumbs up.
"Thank you human," Papyrus exclaimed. He patted her on the head. In response, the human hugged Papyrus. "Nyeh heh! The human seems to like me!"
"what's not to like?"
"True, very true. Hey human? Can I ask something of you?"
The child looked up at Papyrus. "Yes?"
"Please… Fr-human,"Papyrus started. He momentarily forgot that he wasn't supposed to know Frisk's name. "Stay like this. Stay lovable and kind. I don't want to lose a cool friend."
Frisk frowned slightly, but soon became a smile. "I'll be good. I don't want to hurt anybody."
"Great," Papyrus exclaimed. He lifted Frisk off the ground and held her close. "Nobody needs to hurt anybody!"
Papyrus continued to walk down the path, carrying Frisk as he walked. After a while Papyrus heard Frisk sobbing quietly. He stopped.
"I'm sorry," she muttered. "I'm sorry for hurting you guys!" She buried her head in Papyrus' cape.
Papyrus smiled. "Everything's okay now, human."
She stared at the skeleton.. Tears were starting to form in her eyes. "No. It isn't. I-I hurt you! I hurt everyone! I-I…," she started.
"I know, Frisk."
"Th-then why are you being so nice to me?" She glanced at Sans.
Sans sighed. "kid, we don't like chara, no, but you're different."
Frisk rubbed her eyes. They had become red and puffy.
"Exactly! You are not a murderer! You were just misguided! Please dear friend, don't be sad!"
"I-I'm just like Flowey," she exclaimed.
"hey. stop beating yourself up like that," Sans ordered. He looked aggravated. "you are not like that weed," Sans snarled.
Frisk sniffled.
"Wait… why are you comparing yourself to my flower friend," Papyrus asked. He seemed genuinely confused.
Sans and Frisk stared at each other for a moment and then turned to Papyrus.
"You need a better friend," they both said at the same time.
"Is he really that bad?"
"yeah papyrus. he's not a very good flower," Sans explained.
"He's an evil little buttercup," Frisk agreed.
"O-oh. W-well! Since we know it's you Frisk, want to come to our house," Papyrus asked.
"Are you sure you want to do that? I might try to stab Sans' pet rock," she muttered. She once again buried her face in Papyrus' cape.
"don't think like that. nothing is set in stone after all, but if you try, it won't hurt him. he's rock-solid." Sans smirked while Papyrus raged internally. He didn't want to drop Frisk.
Frisk giggled at the puns.
"its nice to finally have people who appreciate my jokes." Sans winked. "thanks for your punerosity, kid."
Papyrus yelled Sans' name, which caused Frisk to giggle more. "Thank you for being my friends," she muttered. "Even if... I don't deserve it." She slowly closed her eyes. Between the crying and the puzzles, the girl was completely worn out.
Papyrus and Sans looked at each other. "The human fell asleep," Papyrus exclaimed.
"yup. she's had a long day," Sans said. "mind if we take a shortcut?"
"Not one of YOUR shortcuts," Papyrus exclaimed.
"why not?"
"Well forgive me if I prefer to WALK home," Papyrus huffed. "Besides, we're almost there."
They passed the inn and the shop.
"can we at least use the undersnow tunnel," Sans asked.
Papyrus sighed. "Fine, but only to get the human out of cold."
The two entered the tunnel. Within a few moments, they were at the other side of town, just a couple of feet from their front door.
Papyrus shook some snow off of him and walked to the house. "Sans, can you get the door? I'm holding the human here!"
Sans shrugged. "sure." He opened the door and walked inside. Papyrus sat the human on the couch and walked upstairs. He knocked on the door. "Dad! Are you awake yet?"
There was a groan behind the door. Great. He found out that he had a father, brought him to the world, and he was lazy.
"Papyrus, what is it," Gaster muttered.
At least he got up on the first knock.
"Dad! We brought Frisk back with us! She's asleep and the couch isn't too good for sleeping," Papyrus exclaimed.
Gaster opened the door. "It was Frisk this time?"
Papyrus nodded.
"That's very good," Gaster said in relief. He walked downstairs to the sleeping Frisk. "At least it should be,"Gaster muttered under his breath. Gaster carried Frisk up the stairs and into Papyrus' race car bed.
"Wowie! Thank's Dad," Papyrus yelled.
Gaster hushed Papyrus. "She's had a long day, let her sleep." Gaster chuckled and grabbed a blanket. "I'm not feeling one-hundred percent either."
"Why is my family so lazy," Papyrus asked as Gaster laid down on the couch.
"I'm not lazy, but I do need rest. I used up a large amount of magic to help myself escape," Gaster explained. He shifted to find a good spot to sleep and closed his eye sockets.
The whole house was filled with the sounds of snoring.
Done with this chapter! Okay, I don't know why, but the last chapter didn't seem to get published? I mean, it's there, but it didn't move the story's spot to the front page. Weird.
Yay! Frisk is there!
So I've got a question. Now that everyone's alive, should I find a stopping point and continue this in a different story or should I continue it in this story but change the name and description?
Anyway, bye guys!
