Here we go!
Again I really appreciate this! Reviews mean so much to an author and it makes me really happy that you like my story. But anyhoo: CHAPTER 4 AWAAAY!
"Oh I woul' walk 500 miles, and ah would walk 500 more, just ta be tha man, that walks 1000 miles ta fall down at yer door. Da da da da, da da da da, de le lun de le lun dun dun dun du-"
"HUMAN"
"AIIEEEH!... Papyrus! You scared tha shit outta me! Ugh, me heart! What's up?" Jack released his hold on his chest and looked upwards at the tall skeleton.
"OH, UMM I MERELY WONDERED WHAT YOU WERE SINGING IS ALL... I'M SORRY IF I SCARED YOU. AND WHAT IS A HEART?"
Jack paused and ran a hand through his bright green hair.
"No no its fine. Just surprised me is all. And ta be honest ah don't really know... I think it's a song practically everyone knows aboveground, it just sprung to ma mind because of the walkin' we were doin'. And you don't know what a heart is?"
"WELL... I KNOW IT IS A SHAPE ONE USES TO EXPRESS LOVE OR FEELINGS, BUT YOU MADE IT SOUND LIKE A PART OF YOU..."
Jack paused. Did Papyrus really not know what a human heart was? He would of thought for sure that monsters like Toriel and Asgore had them... did they?
"So, have you ever heard about havin' a broken heart?"
"WELL... YES. BUT IT IS MERELY AN EXPRESSION, WE USE IT TO DESCRIBE SADNESS OR A PAIN IN OUR SOUL... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM OR WHERE IT STARTED."
"i know where the heart is bro"
"OH REALLY WOWIE! WHERE!?"
"home"
"UHH, WHAT? HOME IS WHERE THE HEART I- OH GOD IT WAS A JOKE! AND I FELL FOR IT!"
Sans gave what sounded like a 'snerk' as he sauntered next to them. Grinning at Jack who was laughing quietly as not to upset Papyrus.
"Hehehheh, anyway, my heart is here" Jack touched his chest. "Its suppose ta pump blood and oxygen around ma body. Nothing too special... important though."
"WOWIE! THAT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!"
"Meh, not really. Here feel" Jack at this point grabbed Papyrus' glove covered hand and held it where his heart was.
"UMM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY HA-"
Bump bump.
"ND. WHAT WAS-"
Bump bump
Papyrus suddenly pulled away, eye sockets wide, Jack looked a little concerned before he spoke.
"SANS! SANS GIVE ME YOUR HAND! YOU HAVE TO FEEL THIS!"
Said skeleton gave his brother an amused glance
"nah bro, i'm good. thanks though"
Jack grinned and looked for Sam, who had gone to scout the area a little earlier. From what Jack recalled, they would be entering the part of Waterfall Undyne lived in very soon. Then he would try and find her house, the Annoying Dog, and then MAYBE but hopefully get some answers on why he was here. Jack wasn't fooled and knew the only reason Sans was even tagging along was because of the fact that he was curious about Jack and his mysterious appearance and memories.
"AH! HERE WE ARE! WE MADE IT PASSED THE PUZZLE!"
Jack snapped out of it to look at the four floating lillies all in a neat little line.
"Cool! Well done Papyrus" Jack praised as he tested the strength of one of the flowers, surprisingly it held his body weight up easily.
"SOOOO... WHY DO YOU WANT TO GO TO UNDYNE'S AGAIN?"
Jack paused to get to the other bit of land before answering.
"Well, I'm gonna try and find a white dog, you know, tha one that ah mentionned earlier?"
"YES, I KNOW THAT... BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR ONE DOG AFTER ALL"
"Yeah, maybe, but this dog could help me get home."
"WHHAAAT!? HOW!?"
"i agree bro, sounds pretty impawsible"
"SANS!"
"aw come on Pap, i'm just hounding ya a little"
"SANS WHY!"?
"i just wanna tell ya a tail"
"SANS I WILL END YOU!"
"muzzle-toff bro"
"SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!"
Jack was litterally knealing as he laughed, it reverberated off the walls of Waterfall, making it sound like 10 people were laughing as opposed to just one. Unfortunately after a little while Jack stood up and rubbed his eyes.
"Ah, ehheheheh. Nice one Sans"
Sans seemed to blow-up slightly with self-pride and winked at Jack
"well, i like to keep people laughing, so in that case guess i succeeded huh?"
Jack nodded as he straightened out his beanie.
"Yeah ya did. " God, and Jack thought Sans was funny in the game!
"something on ya mind Jack?"
There was no response from the usually energetic youtuber. Instead Jack suddenly found himself realising something. Something he hadn't realised, or at least had not thought about since the ruins. It sounded funny, since it was kind of obvious, but he had kind of been ignoring the fact that he was. In. A. Game. The sudden re-realisation made Jack almost sick. He was in a game... a game! He had woken up in a game... and met the characters... what if he couldn't go home? What if he was stuck here? What if he died... that particular thought made him absolutely terrified. Who was he kidding, he wasn't Frisk, he wasn't strong. He was in a game!
"HUMAN?"
Oh look at that... he had somehow found himself on his knees struggling to breathe. Most definitely a panic attack, however Jack found at that particular moment that he just didn't care. A game. A game. A GAME!
"A game...*sharp inhale*.. a game...*sharp inhale*... a game..."
Everything was going fuzzy, his sight was failing and black spots obscured his vision. Jack's chest screamed for more oxygen but his brain wasn't allowing it, and he felt like his heart was suddenly beating irregularly. Oh god the fear was completly overwhelming. Then the 'room' started spinning and he felt like he was going to throw up. His whole body was shaking violently and everything felt numb, he couldn't catch his breath, his heart was pounding out of his chest. He was choking, he was gonna die!
And then it began to fade... what?
Why?
Wait... who was hugging him?
Strong yet comforting arms had encircled him around his upper torso and his head was resting on someone's (slightly uncomfortable) shoulder. When his breathing had leveled out a bit he was able to identify the hugger as Papyrus.
"Papyrus... wha- what are ye doing?"
"I'M COMFORTING YOU... DO NOT WORRY, MY BROTHER OFTEN HAS THESE "PANIC ATTACKS" AS WELL, SO YOU WILL FIND I AM VERY SKILLED IN DEALING WITH THEM, NYEH HEH HEH."
Mildly overwhelmed by the kindness Papyrus had shown a stranger, Jack found tears suddenly falling from his eyes. He lifted his arms and gripped the skeleton back as he began to sob openly. All his worries pouring out in that one moment, the fear of dying, the thought of never going back home or seeing his friends and family, the absurdity of the whole situation. All finally recognised instead of being (unhealthily) repressed.
"UMM... ARE YOU OKAY HUMAN? UH, I HATE TO INTERUPPT, BUT YOU'RE... KINDA CRUSHING ME"
Hearing that Jack immediatly slackened his grip and leapt back rubbing his eyes furiously with his sleeve.
"Oh god I'm sorry Papyrus... I'm sorry, wow I'm such a mess..."
"OH ITS NO TROUBLE HUMAN! THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS NOT SO EASILY DAMAGED! ESPECIALLY NOT BY A HUMAN'S ARMS!"
Jack laughed weakly and brought his knees up to his chest. He had to try and rid himself of this mentality, ok, yes he was in a game, but now he would just have to deal with it. He would immerse himself, keep himself busy, and most importantly, try to stop his thoughts from wandering to the "danger zone". Yeah, that sounded like a plan.
"ya gonna leave me hanging Jack, or are ya actually gonna accept my help?"
Snapping his head up his eyes focused on Sans, who was holding out a skeletal hand. Grasping it, Jack allowed himself to be pulled up onto his feet.
"Thanks Sans... again"
"no problem"
"Sooo... are we nearly there yet?"
"ALMOST... WE STILL HAVE A FEW MINUTES TO GO, BUT WE SHOULD BE THERE SOON"
Nodding, Jack began walking in the direction they had been heading before his *cough meltdown cough* Yelling for Sam. A bit more of his usual energy could be seen in his steps. While he was walking Sans and Papyrus stayed a little behind to talk quietly (ish in Paps case)
"Brother... is that normal for humans?" (None caps is Pap whispering)
Sans thought back to memories of Frisk and... Chara.
"to be honest... no. i don't think so Pap."
Confused expression
"But, then why would he have one? The only other person I have known to have them is... you brother."
Sans looked down
"look, maybe we shouldn't pry. i know i wouldn't be too pleased if i knew you were talking about it behind my back-" he glanced upwards at Jack's retreating form. -"Litterally"
"Hmm, perhaps you're right. We shall wait for him to tell us himself, or when he is ready!"
"good idea Pap"
MEANWHILE UP AHEAD
"Saaaaammm! Saaaaaam! SAM! Sam come on out buddy! Where are yo- *CRASH* Oof!"
From his new position on the floor Jack was able to see thay he had collided with a small orangy yellow figure wearing a striped jumper.
"Yo! You like, ran right into me! Are you okay?"
Jack pushed himself off the floor and turned his blue gaze onto the Monster Kid
"Excuse me! How could ah have possibly crashed inta ye when I was walkin'?"
...
"Okay, maybe I ran into you... but yo! I'm just so excited! I heard Undyne was in the area and I wanted to see if that was true! God Undyne is so cool! Have you met her?"
"Well... technically... I guess"
Stars could practically be seen in the small lizard?'s eyes
"Woah! Really!? Yo! Thats so cool!"
"Umm yeah..." Jack was slightly distracted. Looking back he saw Sans and Papyrus apparently locked in some sort of conversation but they were actually quite a while away.
"hElLoo?"
Jack jumped about a foot in the air, surprising the Monster Kid greatly.
'Hello? Who's there?"
Jack suddenly paused, huh, that was odd. Why? Why was he so dizzy all of a sudden? And why was his vision failing? Oh god he was falling, ooh that floor looked like it would hurt once he smacked his face off it. The last thing Jack saw was a flash of blue before he slipped into darkness.

"Step aside Papyrus! The human has to die!"
"WAIT WAIT... I CAN SEE WHY YOU WOULD THINK THAT UNDYNE... BUT HE'S REALLY NOT BAD! AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!"
Letting out a soft groan Jack pulled himself into a sitting position
"...Fucknuggets" he cursed as he rubbed his head, trying to ease the sudden migraine.
There was a loud snort and the sound of a weapon being drawn.
"Papyrus! Stand back!"
"NO UNDYNE, YOU MUST LISTE-"
"Can you guys be quiet please!? Ugh, my head feels like its just been punched repeatedly by... uh... John Cena or something." Jack's voice sounded both exasperated and a little snappish.
Opening his eyes he came face to face with a whiteish wall that had orangish stains on as well as a... piano? What?
"AH HUMAN! YOU ARE AWAKE!"
Jack hissed and clutched his head again. God was this what he sounded like to people that had headaches? Well... at least his videos came with a mute button.
"bro, maybe quiet down a little bit"
"Oh! How's this!?"
"better"
Hesitantly, Jack took his hands off his head only to wince and put them back as there was a large twinge of pain and a staticy kind of voice that yelled Jack! Also, Jack would deny forever that he made a noise that could also be consued as a whimper just then.
"Jack, are ya okay?"
Waving a hand dismissivly Jack didnt look up or uncover his head
"I'm fine. Thanks Sans. Just need a paracetamol or someting" (Intentional spelling there)
"A WHAT?"
"Its nothin', dont even worry about i' Papyrus" Jack said while using the wall to sit up. Once he was up he was able to recognise the fact he was in Undyne's house. The Captain herself was a little ways away glancing at him distrustfully, a glowing spear gripped in her hands. Sam was asleep on the piano.
"hold on, maybe i can do something about that" Sans said from the corner as he walked casually forward.
"Really? What?" asked Jack, genuinely curious
"well, i never really learnt much healing magic, but i can definitely alliviate some of the pain you're feeling."
Amazed, Jack nodded. Then immidiatly regretted it as the motion caused yet another spike of pain. Almost hesistanlty, Sans touched his skeletal hand against Jack's head and closed his eyes... eyesockets? Whatever. It took a second but Jack then began to feel a sort of warm yet odd and foreign feeling flood his skull, making it tingle slightly. After a small while it stopped and Sans withdrew his hand and placed it back in his hoodie pocket.
"better?"
"Actually... yeah! Much much better, thank you so much Sans!"
Sans gave him a smile and his chest puffed up ever ever so slightly, despite his notchulant shrug.
"SO... WHAT HAPPENED HUMAN? DO YOU KNOW WHY YOUR HEAD STARTED HURTING, IS IT NORMAL?" Papyrus asked curiously.
Thinking about if he should tell them or not, Jack decided to chance it.
"Well, I dont know why, but every time I fall unconcious there's this... voice. I think they may be making be black out so that we can communicate. But, theres some kind of... interferece, I can't really work out at all what their trying to say, other than something about Omega Souls... I dunno, I may have misheard."
Jack finished with a sigh and leant against the wall behind him, trying to stop his mind from wandering to dark places that resulted last time in him being unable to breathe.
"Sounds pretty suspicious to me" said Undyne, still obviously wary of Jack.
With a slightly evil thought, said Jack decided to play on what he knew was one of Undyne's weaknessess.
"Yeah, ah know, sounds like something straight outta an anime or something."
Undyne paused and her eye widened, but she didnt say anything.
"yeah... Jack can I speak to you... privately."
Giving Sans a mildly surprised look, Jack nodded and pushed himself up onto his feet. Sans led him outside and then round the side/back of Undyne's fish shaped house.
"alright then" Sans' voice was guarded as he turned to face the youtuber.
"start talking"
DONE DIDDLY DONE! Hope you enjoyed and I hope to see you in the next chapter!
Sans: dammit, you cut me off before i could interrogate him.
Me: Well too bad, you're gonna have to wait. Of course, I'll start now if you do the thing.
Sans: what thing?
Me: You know, the thing!
Sans: oh yeah.
Sans: Review...
or you're gonna have a bad time.
Me: SEE YOU IN MARCH MY FRIENDS!
