A/N:Hello friends! Thank you for your interest in my story here! I can promise you I have some pretty awesome things planned! This fanfic is going to be so great. But, I'm here to clear one thing up for you, since I don't want anyone to be confused. Sora and Frisk are existing in the timeline at the same time. But, Sora can not reset, and nor does he have that SAVE option. His DETERMINATION does not dominate his soul and is nowhere near as strong as Frisk's.

Or... is it? Only time will tell... Hehehe, now onto chapter 4!

"Sora! Please reconsider! You will never return!"

You awake with a start, staring through the darkness at the ceiling. There was a familiar smell in the air, and an overwhelming sense of deja vu. As you sit up and push the blankets off of yourself, you see where the smell was coming from. On the floor beside your bed was a single slice of pie, Butterscotch-Cinnamon pie to be exact. The smell made your stomach growl. Falling back with a groan, you remember you haven't had anything to eat for some time.

"Man, I'm hungry. That pie smells so good, but, why am I craving a cheeseburger?" As the words leave your lips, something flashes through your mind. It was someplace warm and bright that smelled like fried food. You hear a voice ring in your mind.

"Better take care of it. Hate to see it in the wrong hands."

Instinctively, you look at your keyblade hanging from your wrist. It wasn't glowing, but you felt like it had been. You stand and walk out of the room, holding your key in your hand. The voice you heard was one you had just heard. As you walk down the hall, you pass by the stairs and suddenly the keyblade light up, pulling you down them.

"Whoa! Not again!" You nearly stumble down the stairs as the key pulls you. Once you are through the door into the dark, you can hear Toriel calling your name, "Sorry mom! I'll be right back!" You call back to her, though you aren't sure she could even hear you.

As the keyblade leads you back to the door at the end of the long hallway, you sigh. You feel like you're just going in circles,repeating your steps over and over again.

"I don't know what's going on," you tell yourself, and your keyblade as it goes back to hanging from your wrist, "but, we might as well do this. You did bring me all this way for something." Taking a deep breath and a leap of faith, you push the doors open and walk out into the cold.

The pathway was long and familiar, but you had a feeling you knew what to look for this time. You felt like someone would be there. Despite your better judgement to turn back, your curiosity pushed ahead.

"Right on time, kid," the voice calls out to you again as you cross a little bridge. In the clearing you saw him, a skeleton in a blue jacket and black shorts. He was watching you, waiting as he leaned forward over what looked almost like a stand. Maybe he sold lemonade or hot dogs.

"You're... Sans, right?" you say as you approach the stand. You don't know why, but the name felt right as it left your lips, "Sans the Skeleton."

"Yup, that's me. And you're Sora," he shrugged and winked at you, "Sorry about the burger, kid. I hope you don't have any beef with me now."

You blink, a little bit confused, "Burger...?" as you began to question him, your stomach growled loud enough for him to hear. Sans just laughs as you shake your head, "Wait! That's right! We went for food... at..."

"Grillby's. You're remembering. That's a good sign," he nods as he walks around his station to stand beside you, his hands in his pockets, "This may seem weird to you right now, but trust me, it gets worse."

"Oh, that's good to hear," you sigh, slumping your shoulders, "But...what do you mean by... 'remembering?'"you ask, looking at him. Sans seems to be watching you carefully, "Have I forgotten something?"

Sans shrugged,"Hell if I know, kid. I'm not inside your head. Only you can really answer that question."

"But, I remember you, even though we haven't met."

"Oh we have, just in a previous timeline."

Sans begins to walk ahead, gesturing for you to follow. You feel confused by his words, but follow beside him. You needed answers, and he seemed to be the one to give them, "Wait, timeline? I've been time traveling?"

Sans shook his head, "Not you. You'd remember if you were. You're stuck, like the rest of us." You fold your arms and nod, trying to process all that he was saying. Sans seems to sense your confusion and shrugs, winking at you, "Thinking of it like this, if you draw a line on a piece of paper, its there, you can clearly see it. But, if you erase it and try it again, but in a different way, you've changed what line was. The residue of the line is still there, but you can't see it clearly. The pencil is the one who changed that line, for better or worse, who knows. But, the paper can still see what the line used to be. It can still remember what once was."

You feel more confused as he explains with his strange metaphor, "So... I'm the paper?"

Sans smiles at you, "In a way. You and I both know what that line used to be. Well, you would if you remembered."

"But why? Why do you remember? Why should I?"

Sans sighs, "You're really giving me a workout, kid. I don't have all the answers. I don't know everything, despite what people might think."

You sigh as you look ahead. He seemed to be the one way to explain everything thats going on. But, if he wasn't even sure, then who would? You look down at your keyblade again and a thought hits you. The voice you heard, you remember it was Sans. As you stop in front of him, you smile, "Wait! You gave this back to me. You know what this is?"

"Sure, kid, its a key." Sans says plainly, as if it was obvious. If he had eyebrows, you knew one would be raised in confusion.

"No, no! You said it wouldn't be good for it to end up in the wrong hands!"

"Well yeah. Key's keep secrets hidden, right? If you don't want your secrets out, you have to keep your key out of the wrong hands," he pulls one hand out of his pocket and holds up a little silver key. Its a plain key, not like your keyblade, "We all have our secrets, Sora."

You start to realize that he didn't seem to know what you thought he had. At first, he seemed like he knew something more about your keyblade, but, in a world like this that wasn't possible, right?

Sans shrugs as he puts his key away and starts to walk around you. You watch him for a moment. Something about his manner seemed odd. You could tell he was hiding more than he let on, but, if he wasn't going to tell you, could you really force him?

You shake your head and hurry to catch up with him. How could you think that? You barely know him at all. Maybe in time he would be willing to explain himself a little better. For now, you just had to be patient with him.

"Tell me about the other kid," you say as you return to his side.

Sans doesn't miss a beat as he answers you, "What do you want to know?"

"Well... who are they? Are they around here somewhere still? Toriel seemed... pretty sad to see them go."

Sans looks at you, "Right, you came out of the Ruins," he said, "The kid doesn't say much really, but they made it pretty clear how determined they are to get home, to get out of here,"Sans laughs a little, "Like everyone else, really. Only, way more than any monster is capable of."

"Are they like the paper, too?"

Sans stops, his eyes dark and empty. The light had gone from them. As you stop and turn to him, you feel uneasy. Perhaps you had said something wrong. Rubbing your head, you quickly try to think of an apology or excuse or something to change the subject, when Sans finally speaks.

"More than you know. Maybe it'd be better to see for yourself." Sans snaps his fingers and everything goes dark for a moment.

Everything was still dark until you realized you had your eyes closed. The smell of the area had changed, as well as the temperature. As you open your eyes, you the room you're in is still pretty dark, but there is a light blue glow coming from the ceiling. As you look up you can see what looks like stars spotting the sky. You smile.

"Whoa! That's amazing!"

"Impressed, kid?" You look over and see Sans leaning over another station, "Pretty close to the real thing, I think."

You raise an eyebrow in confusion as you walk over and look up again, "Wait, those aren't stars?"

"Nah, just sparkling rocks. This cave is filled with 'em. Otherwise it would be too dark to see down here."

"Oh, right," you smile at Sans. It was easy to forget you were underground. The whole layout seemed like it couldn't even exist underground, and yet it was here, "So, why are we here? And how exactly did we get here?"

Sans winks at you, "Easy, we just took a shortcut. Come back here," he waved his hand for you to come behind the station. As you walk around it and stand beside him, he points off to the right, "That's why we're here."

As you look where he was pointing, you see a kid walking down the hall. They were much shorter than you, but wore a striped shirt like you did, only pink and blue. Their brown hair hung down flat, but their face looked almost like they were sleepwalking. You couldn't see their eyes, even though they seemed to look up at you and Sans. You see their expression change to one of curiosity as Sans waves them over.

"Hey kiddo, I was heading to Grillby's with my bud here. Care to join?" Sans asks them. The kid makes some movement with their hands and shakes their head. Sans shrugs and smiles, "Suit yourself, kid."

The kid turns their attention from Sans to you then, seeming to want to speak with you. You lock eyes with them for a moment, shifting uneasily behind the stand. You scratch your head nervously and just smile, "Uh, hey there. You're human right? Uh, my name's Sora."

"My name's Sora."

You blink, confused as you hear your words repeated back to you. You look around in confusion as Sans laughs beside you, "Never seen an Echo Flower, have you kid?"

You look at Sans and tilt your head, "Echo Flower?"

Sans nods and looks at the other kid. The kid looks back behind them where a big blue flower was blooming on the edge of the path, "It's a plant that repeats the last things it hear. If you listen closely to some around Waterfall, you can probably catch someones conversations."

You smile, "Oh! Wow, that's pretty cool!" you walk over and crouch down next to the flower, trying to listen closely. The kid crouches with you and listens. Inside the flower, you can hear a whisper.

"Wow, that's pretty cool!"

You laugh and smile at the kid, "Hey it really does repeat! I've never seen anything like that."

The kid looks at you and just smile a little, tilting their head at you. After a moment, they just stand and turn back to Sans. They give a wave and walk on down the hall.

You watch them walk off before standing and walking back to the station, "They really are pretty quiet."

Sans nods, "Told ya."

"But, that didn't quite answer my question."

Sans closed one eyesocket and looked to the side, leaning on his hand, "It should be pretty obvious, I think. But,maybe you just need to see a bit more first. After all, this was their first time meeting you."

You nod, though you are a bit confused, "Uh, well, yeah."

Sans smiles and shrugs, "Lighten up, kid. After all, what could possibly go wrong?"

For some reason, you feel like you can agree with him. You smile and nod, "Yeah! With two humans here, everything should be fine, right?"
