Chapter 4: Restless Nights
Sans's felt like his skull was smashed into concrete, a nauseous feeling quickly overtook it and everything was blurry, he could barely make out any sound around him.
"SANS! SAANS! I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE STOVE WOULD EXPLODE WHEN I TURNED IT ON PLEASE BE OKAY! THIS IS WHY I SAID YOU SHOULD TRAIN MORE AND BECAUSE YOUR HP IS SO LOW! OH DON'T WORRY SANS I YOUR GREAT BROTHER WILL MAKE IT BEYYERE AND I HAVS EU ANDN I WIKOK DONJH GIVHI UPFWA"
Papyrus's words started merging together as Sans strained to hear them.
"*Papyrus give him some room, i'm going to try something I saw in an anime once and get his heart beating again!"
Sans opened his eyes just in time to see Undine's fist flying down at his chest, luckily Pap caught it seconds before impact.
"NO NO, HE DOESN'T HAVE A HEART, WE'RE SKELETONS REMEMBER, THAT WON'T WORK, LET'S THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE."
"*Hmm, do you think a suplex will work?"
"MAYBE SOMETHING..A LITTLE LESS..EXTREME."
"*Right right..."
Sans coughed to alert them that he was awake.
"SANS! ARE YOU OKAY! HOW DO YOU FEEL!?"
Papyrus asked frantically, worry printed on his face.
"*like the bome." Sans breathed.
Papyrus sighed in relief and Undyne glanced her burning house then sighed too.
"*Hey can I crash by you punks, you kinda, blew up my house."
"OF COURSE, WE CAN HAVE A SLEEPOVER! SANS WON'T THAT BE FUN?"
"*yeah, it'll be a blast."
Papyrus smiled "LET US GO NOW, SANS CAN YOU WALK?"
Sans barely heard what Papyrus said this time and just nodded.
"*You sure punk? you look a bit off." Sans just nodded again. Undyne didn't seem to accept his answer but stayed silent.
"ALRIGHTY LET'S GO! UNDYNE YOU CAN TAKE MY BED IF YOU WANT."
"*Nah I'm fine with the couch."
"ARE YOU SURE?"
Their conversation grew too far away to hear anymore so Sans checked his HP:
(0.0001/1)
whew, talk about cutting it close. i'm going to have to be more careful.
Dying wasn't really a big concern to Sans, actually he probably would've welcomed it at times, but then he remembered Papyrus and that wishing for death would be selfish to him.
Sans sighed and took a swig of ketchup. *RESTORED 0.9999 HP*
Sans heard footsteps approach and stop a few inches from his head, it was Papyrus.
Without a word Pap picked up Sans from his lying position and carried him like a small child back over to Undyne.
"HERE WE ARE!" The sound of Papyrus's voice woke up Sans.
"*Lets continue your cooking lesson in your kitchen!" Undyne piped up.
"PERHAPS NOT, IT'S RATHER LATE." Papyrus answered quickly and nudged the front door open.
Undyne followed Papyrus in. "*...Welp, I'm heading to Grillbys, do-" Sans's words were cut off.
"no, you are not."
"*huh?"
"I SAID NO YOU ARE NOT, I HAVE PREPARED SOME OF MY WORLDS FAMOUS SPAGHETTI EARLIER AND PLACED IT IN THE FRIDGE FOR SUPPER. WE HAVE A GUEST SANS, DONT BE RUDE."
"*ok bro, but you know-"
"SANS."
"*i dont have-"
"SANS NO!"
"*the Stoma-(Splat)
"*Ahh..that was, harsh." Undyne said as some the spaghetti that Papyrus threw slid off Sans's face and landed on the carpet.
"IT HAD TO BE DONE." Sans licked a bit of spaghetti off his teeth.
"*hmmm, Bone appeti-(Boof)
"*hey, my chips" Sans picked up the half full packet of chips that Pap threw and began munching a few chips.
"*Heck yeah! food war!" Undyne suddenly shouted and grabbed the rest of the remaining spaghetti off of Sans's head.
"UNDYNE PLEASE-(Splat)
"*Nhuhuh huh, ah..erm, sorry Papyrus."
Papyrus started stamping his foot.
"*Come on Papyrus, It was an accident."
"*yea, dont be upsetti, have some spaghetti."
"SANS!" Sans produced a single strip of spaghetti that was in his bag of chips.
"*hey look, ive found an imPasta."
"NYEEEEEH!"
Flowey popped up outside Toriels house, he hissed when he saw the old hag lead the human inside. Sure there was a time when he loved Toriel, when he was Asriel that is.
But he could not feel that emotion anymore, plus over the last decade she had stolen all of his chance's of getting a soul.
The only emotion he felt for her now, was rage. This feeling quickly passed as he remembered the child's actions earlier and he started to giggle.
This human was going to kill the hag! Oh I can barely wait!
Flowey went back underground and popped up again inside the house, he made sure to hide by a bookcase as observed the scene.
Toriel lead the child to a room.
"*Here my child, a room to yourself, oh is something burning?" Toriel quickly left the hallway. Flowey's giddy feeling was replaced absolute rage.
How dare she give our room to that..Human? Wait, I bet she had given that room to the other 6 humans too! I mean who gave her the right to give away our room to a bunch of strangers, Strangers! They probably slept in my bed or Chara's bed! Playing with our toys and messing up the place! Eating our snail pie and our Butterscotch Cinnamon pie too! Doesn't she care about me at all!?
Flowey's face dropped and he suddenly felt deflated.
...Doesn't she care?...doesn't she...remember us? ReMemBer mE?
Flowey's face contorted.
...i..i dont...Idiots..Idiots! They are all IDIOTS! I DON'T CARE! THAT HAG IS GOING TO DIE ANYWAY! HAHAHHAH
"*heh.. ..Hahha."
Flowey heard the door open and saw the human leaving the room with a plate of pie in their hands.
Shit, how long was I here for? Anyway that does't matter now.
Flowey observed Toriel going downstairs and the human following her.
Let the show begin.
An evil grin spread across his face, then he crawled under ground to get a front seat view of the whole show.
"*cheer up Pap."
Papyrus grumbled
"*come on, it's just like old times remember?"
Papyrus took a sip of milk from his glass.
"*Didya order that gross thing then as well?"
Undyne asked and gestured to San's greasy burger.
"YES HE DID, IT'S PRACTICALLY MADE OF GREASE, ARGH DO YOU HAVE TO BROTHER?"
Papyrus glared at Sans as he took another bite from his burger, the grease was dripping off the patty and even off the bun!
"*whght?"
A few bits of burger flew out of San's mouth and landed on Paps face.
"ARGH, DON'T SPEAK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL, PLEASE."
Pap replied and cleaned his face. Sans swallowed loudly.
"*sorry bro." He replied and grinned, there were bits of bun, meat and of course greece stuck/Leaking in his teeth/down his chin, Papyrus gagged and had to gulp down some more milk to stop himself from vomiting.
"*Sick." Undyne said with a grin and continued to eat her fries.
"(Gag) INDEED."
"*Hey do you think Alphys would like this place?"
"*i dont see why not."
"I DO, BUT I'D LOVE TO BE FRIENDS WITH HER ONE DAY, UNDYNE, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD INTRODUCE US?"
Papyrus quickly asked happy that the subject was changing.
"*Yeah sometime.." Undyne said dreamily
"*come on Undyne do hold out on us, Pap and i can be great friends if you Lettus."
"YES WE CAN BE AND..ER...WAIT, SANS WAS THAT A PUN?"
"*...no"
Sans looked down at his burger as he broke into a cold sweat, he had already pushed his luck today and at this rate Papyrus might actually go through with his threat of making Sans sleep in the shed.
"HMM...OKAY, I BELIEVE YOU."
"*whew."
Undyne gobbled up the last of her fries and stood up.
"*Ahhhh, that was good. You punks finished? Cool, lets get outta here."
"YES, COME ON SANS."
"*ok, just let me finish the pun"
"EXCUSE ME?"
"*let me finish the bun." Sans grinned innocently as Papyrus stared at him suspiciously for a moment.
"*Hey are you guys gonna hurry uuuaahhhhhp!" Undyne tripped over a small monster kid and landed on one of the bar tables, knocking it and its contents over with a crash."
Undyne: -20 HP
Monster Kid: -10 Hp
The kid howled in pain as Undyne scrambled to get up and help him.
Sans could hear a few monsters murmuring around him: "*oh my, did you see that?" "She's the Captain of The Royal Guards right." "how can she be so clumsy." "she hurt that kid!" "how can we trust her to protect us?"
"*Im ss..sorry! I.I didn't see you there!, I, are you ok?" Undyne stammered.
"SANS?"
"don't worry bro, i'm sure the kid is fine."
"S..SANS, L..LOOK." Papyrus pointed to the kid who had stopped crying, he went still in Undyne's arms, and then he started to turn to dust.
"*Don't worry kid I...Oh My God! NONONONOOO! PLEASE..." Undyne just sat there, with the kids dust on her hands.
The whole bar went silent, tears starting trickling down Undyne's cheeks.
"*...I...I didn't...mean too...I'm...s..sorry...I.." Her voice was cracking, the murmurs started up again but worse that before.
Undyne continued to just sit there, Papyrus went over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"...U..UNDYNE?...IT'S OK...WE KNOW YOU DIDN'T DO IT..ON PURPOSE...COME ON..LET'S GO HOME."
Pap tried to move her but she wouldn't budge.
"UNDYNE?"
"*just...leave me alone.." she whispered
"*Pap, come on." Sans tried to get his brother to move but he too wouldn't budge.
"UNDYNE I KNOW YOU'RE SAD...WE ARE TOO..BUT IT WONT US ANY GOOD JUST SITTING HERE, SO COME ON." He said gently and reassuringly.
"*how do you know?" She muttered gruffly.
"PARDON?"
"*I SAID HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!" Undyne shouted and sneered in Papyrus's face.
"UH.."
"*OH WAIT, HA, WHAT AM I SAYING? YOU KNOW EVVERYTHING ! DONT YA?"
"undyne I..."
"*SHUT UP PAPYRUS, I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! ACTUALLY HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU THAT NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK? PROBABLY NOT HUH? NOOOOO THAT CAN'T BE TRUE, EVERYONE LOVES THE GREAT PAPYRUS~ YOU CAN'T GET IT THROUGH YOU THICK SKULL CAN YOU? AND YOU KNOW WHAT!?"
Undyne paused and waited for Papyrus to answer.
"wha-"
"*YOU WILL NEVER BE A ROYAL GUARD! YOU HEAR ME! NEVER!"
Sans felt his eye burning.
How dare she...
Sans's hands clenched and he gritted his teeth.
How dare she say that to Papyrus...
Sans wanted to hurt her.
How dare she say that to my bro.
Sans wanted to kill her.
"*Yeah sometime.." Undyne said dreamily
"SANS ARE YOU OK?"
Sans suddenly snapped to reality, he was sitting by the bar. Papyrus look at San's hands worriedly. Sans looked down too, he had squished his burger.
"*...uh i'm fine heh." Papyrus pointed to his eye and Sans suddenly realised it was still glowing blue.
"*Punk?"
"*ah heh, looks like i've squished my pun er bun...haha...er im done Lettuce leave heh." small trickles of sweat started to appear on his forehead.
"ARE YOU OK BROTHER?"
"*yeeaah why wouldn't i be heh, just remembered..a..uh..bad dream i had earlier."
"HMM, OKAY, AS LONG AS YOUR OKAY...YOU KNOW YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T GET THESE NIGHTMARES IF YOU DIDN'T SLEEP SO MUCH."
"*yeah-"
Undyne hesitated a bit then gobbled up the last of her fries and stood up.
"*Ahhhh, that was good. You punks finished? Cool, let's get outta here."
"YES!, COME ON SANS."
"*coming...wait.." Sans looked up and say Undyne walking backwards with her hands behind her head, a monster kid was standing a few feet away from her.
"*hey Undyne watch out!" Undyne quickly turned and hopped over the kid.
"*Woah that was close."
"*(Gasp) That was soo cool! Undyne! Undyne! i'm like your biggest fan!" The kid started hopping around gleefully. Undyne grinned widely and Papyrus jogged over to her.
woah, did...did i go back in time? how? was that even real?...i also saved that kids life and prevented Undyne from losing her job and Papyrus...
Sans gritted his teeth again.
I will never forgive her, even if that wasn't real, she had no right to shout at Papyrus like that. it was her fault, she was the one who dusted the kid, Pap was trying to help her and she...she just..
"SANS, COME, LET'S GET OUT OF THIS GREASE TRAP"
"*coming."
i'll get her back for this.
Sans grinned as he put his hands in his pockets, he then followed Papyrus out of Grillby's.
Flowey could hardly contain his glee when Chara walked up to him.
"*I know what you did, you spared her, then went back and killed her!"
Chara just stared at Flowey, they grasped the toy knife tightly.
"*I'm glad you understand that in this world, IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED! You'll do great partner!"
Flowey quickly went underground, he didn't want to ruin the effect, so he waited a full minute before bursting into laughter.
This was going to be the best day ever!
