Chapter 6 A Grievous Mistake
"*heh heh, the old whoopie cushion in the hand trick, its always funny.. huh, have you heard it before?" Sans felt another shiver go up his spine as it stared up at him, expressionless...motionless...
why am i so nervous? i mean it can't be human...can it? no no, it has a striped shirt so its a kid right?, man ive never seen this type of monster before, heh.
"*anyway im sans, sans the skeleton, im supposed to be on watch for humans right now but you know, now my brother, he's a human hunting FANATIC."
The kid (?) didn't even flinch or react to San's words, instead it gave a small yawn as if it had heard all of this before.
"*hey i think thats him over there, ive got an idea go through here yeah go through my brother made the fence to wide to stop anybody."
It snorted and sans swore he heard it say "Idiot." under it's breath. Luckily it had it's back to Sans and didn't see his face. Sans felt his eye's darken.
How Dare IT... My Brother Made That Fence Wide For A Reason.
Sans remembered...
*Kwak*
*Kwak*
*Kwak*
Sans strolled over to Papyrus who was busy hammering away at a few planks.
"*hey bro, what's hammering?"
Papyrus let out a sigh and wiped his forehead.
"SANS YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE YOUR JOKES BUT DO YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS NAIL THEM INTO ME?"
"*heh heh good one bro."
those were the days when Papyrus didn't mind my jokes too much.
"NYEH HEH HEEEH."
He even joked with me from time to time.
"*heh you nailed that one heh, so what you doing?"
"AH I'M GLAD YOU ASKED SANS, I'M BUILDING A FENCE TO STOP HUMANS FROM GETTING PASSED US WHEN WE ARE NOT ON DUTY."
"*heh cool, so um...where's the gate?"
"WELL IT'S AH...UM...ER...OH DEAR...I HAVE SEEMED TO HAVE MADE AN ERROR, BUT FEAR NOT SANS! I THE GREAT PAPYRUS! WILL MAKE THE GATE WIDE ENOUGH FOR YOU TO GET THROUGH."
"*but wouldn't the hu- uh...yeah thanks bro."
in those days i didn't tell Papyrus that his puzzles or traps weren't going to work, i was worried i was going to discourage him. heh, he still blames me sometimes for his puzzles failing.
"NYEH?..." Papyrus looked Sans up and down, he seemed puzzled, he then looked at the fence and back to Sans.
"HMMM...MAYBE I SHOULD MAKE IT A BIT WIDER." Sans put on a hurt expression.
"*gasp* i'm not fat, im just-"
"BIG-BONED I KNOW, NYEH HEH."
"*heh heh."
Sans shook himself from the memory and caught up to the kid. Sans looked around and noticed the lamp was the exact same shape as it was.
convenient... *idea!*
"*hey i think thats my brother over there, hey kid do you see that conveniently shaped lamp?" Sans pointed at it.
"*go behind it, yeah trust me just go behind it." The kid didn't budge.
"*huh? well suit yourself"
*sigh* that would've made for some killer jokes...
Papyrus stomped over.
"SANS! HAVE YOU FOUND ANY HUMANS YET?" Papyrus looked irritated not even noticing the kid a few feet in front of him.
"*yes." Sans looked down at the kid standing just in front of him.
"WELL ALRIGHT THEN." Papyrus smiled and walked back the way he came, after a second the kid followed.
Sans felt a few sweat drops form on the back of his head.
"*hey wait...my bro has been a bit down lately, i was wondering if you could keep pretending to be human for awhile," It just stared at Sans.
"heh...thanks well see you ahead." Sans didn't feel like going down the same path as it was going, in fact he didn't even want to be near the thing.
heh, but i should probably keep an eye on it.
Sans shuddered at the thought, it didn't seem evil, it just seemed DANGEROUS.
im over thinking things...heh...yeah everything is..fine..
everything will be okay.

Flowey popped up behind a tree a giggled to himself.
This is going to be awesome! I can't wait to watch that pathetic noodle get himself killed...but why stop there...
Flowey started chuckling.
Flowey needed to talk to Papyrus again but he can't do it with that trash-bag hanging around him.
Flowey observed the human walk up to Papyrus and Sans, the brothers talked and Papyrus pointed at the human then said shouted something else and ran off, Sans soon followed.
"*Arghh."
Patience, I need to have patience.
"*But I dont wanna wait!...*inaudible grumbling*"
Flowey noticed Snowdrake watching him and grumbled again, he then popped back under ground, he couldn't be bothered with something that was going to die soon.
Flowey popped up again next to Papyrus but this time Sans wasn't with him.
Papyrus was fiddling with some sort of orb.
"*Howdy!"
"OH DEAR!" Papyrus almost dropped the orb and fumbled to get a good hold of it.
"FLOWEY, YOU STARTLED ME." Papyrus breathed a sigh of relief.
"*Golly, I didn't mean to do that, I just wanted to see how my best friend was doing." Flowey noticed Papyrus flinch when he said "best friend"
"I AM DOING WELL, I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S AN ACTUAL HUMAN HERE! ONCE I CATCH IT UNDYNE WILL SURLY-"
"Yeah yeah, so how are you gonna catch them?"
"WELL I'M GOING TO SEND THEM THROUGH MY INVISIBLE MAZE AND-"
"*This maze? oh." Flowey pretended to think hard.
"WHAT'S WRONG?"
"*well um...I dont want to gossip but I saw Sans fiddling with this maze earlier, I know he's your big brother buuut~ I dont think he's taking this human thing too seriously."
"WELL THAT IS HIS NATURE...FIDDLING WITH THE MAZE? THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HIM, HE'S TOO LAZY TO EVEN..UM...POOF HERE."
Poof?
"*Maybe he's trying to prank you again?" Flowey noticed Sans suddenly...Poof?... a few feet away, thankfully he had his back to them. Flowey made a quick escape.
If he saw me now the whole plan would be ruined, so much for being too lazy.
"SANS!?, COME YOU HAVE TO MEET AH...OH...HE LEFT... OH WELL QUICKLY SANS, BEFORE THE HUMAN ARRIVE'S, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE ONE FINALLY CAME!"
"*muffed pun*"
"NYEH! OH LOOK THE HUMAN IS HERE!"
Flowey noted that he could hear Papyrus's voice perfectly underground.
Heh heh heh, once that noodle finish his monologue about his stupid maze I will push him into it while he is still holding the orb! he will immediately blame smilie for it!
"*hah ha ha!"
I'm such a genius!
"AND THIS ORB WILL- HEY!... LET ME FINISH AH...SANS THE HUMAN REFUSED TO DO MY PUZZLE, *NYEH* AH DIDN'T LIKE THAT ONE HUH? I KNOW IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE SPIKES. FEAR NOT, THE NEXT PUZZLE WILL SURELY ENTICE YOU TO TRY AND IT WILL DUMBFOUND YOU TOO! NYEH HEH HEH HEEEEEEEH."
Flowey heard Papyrus running off.
Well, so much for that plan...hmmm...I know!
Flowey quickly went to catch up to Papyrus, when he popped up however he saw him covering something up with snow, he then stepped over some spikes and walked on.
Flowey looked around him and at the puzzles, he shivered, not only due to the cold but also at a bad memory of the human and...Puzzles...
He quickly disabled all the spiked puzzles and went off to catch up to Papyrus but stopped short when he saw Sans once again..."poof" next to the spikes then start jog over to Papyrus.
Shit, that fatass knows somthing is up, I need to get rid of him before he ruins everything!...again...
Flowey sneered as he watched in disgust as a creature he thought wasn't even capable to walk let alone take 5 steps, jog with that shit-eating grin plastered on his stupid face. (Trying to sound like Flowey¯\_(ツ)_/¯#LovesTheSkelebros)
Flowey popped under ground then up again right in front of Sans, he had no idea what he was going to say but he had to say something, he had to stop him, send him away so he could talk to Papyrus alone.
Here goes nothing...
Sans skidded to a halt, he was breathing hard and Flowey winced at his ketchup breath.
"*huff* haaaaaa what?...*cough*" Sans wheezed and sat down, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
"*H..howdy! I'm F..Flowey the flower, heh." Flowey smiled as warmly as he could.
"*oh..." Sans took a gulp of ketchup and looked back at the golden flower, he could tell it was up to something. Sans noticed it flinching at every movement he made.
Flowey wilted a bit as Sans stared him down with those "judging eyes" it was almost as if he was staring down into Flowey's soul...
If I had one...
Flowey tried to suck it up.
Calm down Flowey, remember, it ca..can smell f..f..fear! I mustn't screw this up.
"*gulp* Yes, I...I wanted to meet you because I am your brother's Best Friend and I..I was scared for some reason but that is silly of course because you seem to be a very nice a..and f..funny! skeleton and I thought you were intimidating but I guess I was wrong ha ha ha ha hah ha ha! oh and Nood- er Papyrus is very cool!" Flowey grinned widely, drops of sweat formed on his petals, Flowey noted that Sans's flinched when he said "Best Friend"
But why?
wow... um okay that just happened...so this is the talking Flower Pap is always talking about...i dont like him...
"*woah slow down little fella, dont worry." Sans crossed his legs and leaned over the small flower.
"*so your Pap's friend huh? cool, I hope you're being nice to him. it would be a shame if i had to make you Leaf town." Sans eye's went dark.
Flowey cringed.
Why am I so nervous!? I'm going to be a God! how dare Tubby threaten me!
Flowey opened his mouth to say a few choice words.
"*chill, im only kidding." Sans leaned back a bit an looked up into the falling snow.
Flowey bit his tongue.
If Tubby hadn't stopped me I would of ruined my whole plan! how degrading...
heh, so this weed isn't as spineless as i thought, interesting.
"*Ha yeah...erm ther-" Sans cut flowey short and suddenly looked back at him.
"*hey since you're Papyrus's..."Best Friend"," Flowey could hear the air quotes in Sans's voice.
"*do you perhaps know what Papyrus would want for our gift giving ceremony?"
of course i don't need to ask this little flower what he wants, i already know what he wants, being his big brother and Be...yeah...anyway this will test the flower.
Sans still didn't trust Flowey and wanted to see if he really was a "Best Friend" to Papyrus.
Flowey looked taken a back, unsure of what to say.
A present? what?...Wait this is my chance!
Flowey came to his senses and looked down, he went silent, thinking hard.
"*...I remember him mentioning something about wanting to have Mettatons Bichon eye's, I've seen them in Glasses form selling for 30g at MTT hotel.
wha? no ways Papyrus can't really want that...would he?
Come on take the bait...by the time tubby finds out the Glasses aren't real I should be finished with Papyrus.
"*glasses...really? is that all you think he would like?" Sans's voice was sarcastic.
Oh god he's going see through this ummmmm.
"* , also he likes that book umm Fluffy rab..no Peek-a-boo with Fluffy Bunny? yeah I saw the 2nd book in the dump!" Sans looked thoughtful for a moment.
"*ok then why didn't you grab it? you know for Pap? i mean, since your such a good friend.." Flowey could hear the bitterness in his voice, it was clear that the short skeleton did not trust him.
"*Well you see...I've got no arms! or hands so...hee hee."
Come on.
hmmm maybe i should check out the dump...but i want to ask Papyrus about those eye glasses first.
"*ok i see, well im going to see Papyrus first, thanks for the tip." Sans got up and stretched, then stepped over Flowey.
"*see ya." Flowey heard his footstep grow fainter as Sans walked away.
I hate this guy...
Papyrus was whistling a odd but catchy tune when Sans approached.
"HOWDY SANS! THAT HUMAN WILL DEFINITELY ATTEMPT THIS PUZZLE! DID YOU PERHAPS SEE THEM ON YOUR WAY HERE? THEY ARE TAKING AN AWFULLY LONG TIME."
"*heh, maybe they are stuck."
"HMMM THAT WON'T DO...HEY SANS, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD ASSIST THEM?"
"*yeah yeah um, hey bro..."
"YES?"
"*i remember you mentioning something about ummm...mettatons bichon eye's..."
"HMM I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT YES, I WISH I HAD THOSE...HMMM..." Papyrus stared off into space for a bit then snapped back into reality.
"WHY DO YOU ASK?"
"*oh er nothing...nothing at all...im going to help the human now see ya. *poof*"
Flowey couldn't believe his luck, he quickly used his vines to get over to Papyrus.
"*Howdy!" Papyrus jumped.
"FLOWEY!? HEH... HOW ARE DOING? OH OH AND YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE HUMAN! AND WELL...HMM" Papyrus looked down.
"*What's wrong?"
"WELL, THE HUMAN...THEY AREN'T WHAT I EXPECTED...THEY REFUSE TO DO MY PUZZLES AND...THEY ARE ALWAYS COVERED IN DUST."
"*Golly, that sound horrible, I fear they are going down a bad path."
"YES! I AGREE...I..I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO..."
"*Well I know you can help them! if you open up to them I bet they will give up their ways and let you capture them!
"YOU'RE RIGHT FLOWERY!"
"*flowey-"
"ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CONFRONT THEM! I ALSO KNOW THE BEST PLACE TO DO IT! THEY WILL SURELY GIVE UP!"
"*Yes! The Great Papyrus!"
"THE GREAT PAPYRUS!"
"*And you know Undyne will definitely-"
"LET ME JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD!"
"*Yes!"
"I CAN FULFILL MY LIFELONG DREAM! POWERFUL! POPULAR! PRESTIGIOUS! THAT'S PAPYRUS! THE NEWEST MEMBER... OF THE ROYAL GUARD!"
"*...yes..." Flowey noticed the human approaching and giggled.
"*Goodluck Papyrus!" Flowey quickly left and popped up behind a bush so he could observe the scene.
Instead of seeing Papyrus get himself killed which was what Flowey expected, Papyrus ran off towards his ice puzzle.
"*grr" Flowey growled, this isn't what he wanted at all.
"*so who we watching?" A voice behind him asked.
"*Scream*" Flowey jumped back (or leaned back due to his stem) and whirled around, there was Sans, grinning widely as is he just made the funniest joke in the world.
"*Wha..what are you doing here!?" Flowey stuttered and moved further away from him.
"*i just wanted to thank you for the tip, i found those glasses and the book you mentioned, although the glasses where 40g not 30g but anyway, i rapped them and put them under the tree, so um, thanks."
What those glasses were real!? wait wait! I can make this work.."
"*That's great...but ah..." Flowey looked down and made his petals wilt.
"*hmm? what's the matter?"
"*It's...Papyrus...he wants to confront the human, but i'm afraid that...that he's going to get hurt..The human, they are dangerous...can you speak to him?" Sans's eyes darkened at Flowey's words, and for a moment Flowey swore he saw his grin falter for all but a moment.
Without a word Sans disappeared again.
I hate it when he does this...this is risky but it should work.
Line Line Line
Sans started searching for Papyrus.
why would he do this? I Have To Stop Him.
Sans reached the ice puzzle and noticed Papyrus on a ledge below it.
He was building another Snow-him, Sans quickly jogged over to him.
"AH BROTHER! I GOT BORED WAITING FOR THE HUMAN SO I DECIDED TO BUILD SOME SNOW ME'S." Papyrus smiled warmly as Sans sat down.
"*yeah, um Papyrus, i want to ask you something..." Papyrus noted that Sans's smile wasn't as wide as normal..
"Of course...is something wrong?" Pap lowered his voice.
"*is it true you're thinking of confronting the human..."
"WELL ER YES, I FEAR THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PUT THEMSELF IN DANGER, SO I THE GREAT-"
"but what about you?" Sans whispered.
"NYEH?"
"*this human...they...they are dangerous! what if you get hurt?"
"PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE BROTHER, WHEN I OPEN UP TO THEM THEY WILL DEFINITELY GIVE UP AND-"
"*How do you know that?" Sans was raising his voice now.
"WELL YOU SEE, I THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL OFFER THEM SOME OF MY FAMOUS SPAGHETTI AND-"
"*i..i dont want you to do this..." Sans looked down when he said this.
"DON'T WORRY BROTHER I WILL BE FINE, AND ONCE I CAPTURE THE HUMAN UNDYNE WILL-"
"*I SAID NO!" Papyrus looked shocked he wasn't used to Sans acting this way.
"sans I...I CAN HELP-"
"*Help!? Help by getting Killed!? NO! I WONT ALLOW THIS!...just come home...leave the human to Undyne and-"
"N..NO! I WANT TO STOP THE HUMAN! I WANT TO HELP! THERE'S GOOD IN EVERYBODY! IF I JUST TALK TO THEM IM SURE THEY WILL LISTEN."
"*PAPYRUS THEY WONT LISTEN TO YOU, I DONT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR IMAGINARY WORLD RIGHT NOW BUT, You Need To Wake Up! COME BACK TO REALITY!" Sans bit his tongue, he didn't mean to say that.
Papyrus went quiet, his gaze was hard.
"Sans, I and going to confront the human and you can't stop me."
"*but-"
"No." Papyrus started walking away
"*i..i just dont want to lose you..." a few tears started forming in Sans's eyes.
Papyrus turned around and walked back over to Sans and hugged him.
"I know, but someone needs to do this, I will be fine." Sans sniffed and returned the hug.
"*you promise?"
"I promise, BESIDES, I YOUR GREAT BROTHER NEEDS TO PROTECT YOU."
Sans laughed.
"*jeez pap im the oldest, im meant to protect you." Papyrus picked up Sans and placed him on his shoulders.
"YOU DO PROTECT ME REMEMBER? I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOUR JOKES ER UM I MEAN-"
"*huh? you like them?" Sans's smile returned.
"NO I DIDN'T MEAN TO-"
"*that's fine i snow you did't mean that."
"SANS..."
"*come on bro im just trying tibia a little humourous."
"SANS IF YOU-"
"*come on dont snow-Flake out on me."
"OH MY GOD SANS STOP."
"*aw but i have a skele-Ton of them!"
*floof*
Papyrus let Sans fall head first into the snow.
"YOU DESERVED THAT."
"*mmph mumph moooph"
"Hmm?" Papyrus grabbed Sans's ankle and lifted him out of the snow.
"*do you want to hear a femur?"
"...NO." Papyrus placed sans back into the snow and walked away.
Sans watched as the human crossed the bridge and go right past his brothers trap.
i cant tell if they are brave or stupid.
Papyrus gripped and headed towards Snowdin. Sans stayed behind, he wanted to say something to the 'human'
To San's surprise the human walked right up to him and looked him right in the eye's.
"*hey kid, a little advice when fighting my brother, DONT."
Sans quickly poofed away and onto his couch, Papyrus was standing next to it, looking at the floor.
"*so bro, when are we going to see the kid?" Papyrus looked up at Sans.
"UM I WAS THINKING...YOU DONT COME WITH ME..." Papyrus looked away from Sans and headed towards the front door.
"*What? why!?"
"I THINK THE HUMAN IS, AFRAID OF YOU...AND IT WOULD BE BETTER IF I WENT ALONE."
"*WHAT NO! I cant let you do this!" Sans reached out to Papyrus."
"SANS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND LATER." Papyrus then opened the door and stepped outside, Sans immediately followed.
"*its either take me with you or stay here." Sans said in a menacing tone.
"I've told you before, you can't stop me." Papyrus started walking away.
"*PAPYRUS! PAPYRUS! COME BACK, YOU CANT FACE THAT..THING ALONE! YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED YOU MORON!" Papyrus turned around to face Sans.
"SANS, DONT FOLLOW ME, JUST TRUST ME OKAY...EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE."
"*but-"
"SANS...IT WILL BE FINE, I PROMISED REMEMBER? AND WE NEVER BREAK PROMISES!"
"*b..but."
"NO BUTS SANS, I THE GREAT PAPYRUS SHALL RETURN!" And with that Papyrus walked away.
Sans felt deflated, he just stood in the doorway.
Line line
Flowey popped up next to the short skeleton.
"*Howdy! golly you look glum." Sans didn't react to Flowey's sudden appearance.
"*...hey...flower...can you watch Pap for me?...make sure he's ok...and come right back here if something happens..." Sans kept staring off into the distance.
"*Will do sir!" Flowey gave a little Salute with his leaf and popped back underground.
The plan worked perfectly! telling Papyrus the human was terrified of Tubby was GENIUS!
Flowey popped up behind a rock and watched Papyrus talk to the human, after a little while Flowey got a devilish idea.
"*heh eh heh."
Sans was lying on the couch, he was clutching his cellphone in his left hand.
His mind was swirling with horrible thoughts, all about his brother's fate.
shit, I should be there!
Sans glanced and his phone, Papyrus had been gone for 8 minutes! Sans's eyes wandered and stopped at his phones wallpaper.
It was of him and Papyrus. Sans couldn't remember who took the photo, it was way back when he and Papyrus first moved in.
Papyrus...where are you?
Sans closed his eyes and leaned back, his thoughts were going foggy as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
"*Howdy!" Sans jumped at the small voice and looked around him for it's source, his eyes drifted to the golden flower on the floor next to the couch.
how did he get in here?
"Sans...its Papyrus! he..." Flowey looked down and his petals covered his face.
Sans was struck with a jolt of shock/guilt and sadness. Without thinking he jumped off the couch and ran to the door, losing a slipper in the processes.
Shit Papyrus, please be ok please be ok oh god please...
Sans ran for a few more seconds before remembering he could teleport.
Stupid!
Sans poofed to the place where he thought Papyrus would be.
"*PAPYRUS!, PAPYRUS WHERE ARE YOU!" Sans called out, he looked in every direction until he saw it.
"*P..P..Pap..Papy?...no."
