SUP MY LOVELY PEOPLE! Thanks to a absolutely wonderful reviewer, I've made a descision and edited this chapter. It has to do with Sans/OC relationship. If you don't want to re read the chapter, basically Allie is still pissed at Sans because he totally invaded her privacy and made a crappy apology.

"You ready?"

"Ready."

"You set?"

Frisk giggled,

"You bet!"

I hitched my new bag over my shoulder, and turned back to Paps. After just one night, my shoulder was back in working condition with only bruising leftover.

"GOODBYE HUMANS AND GOOD LUCK! MAYBE WE CAN HANG OUT TOGETHER WITH UNDYNE SOME TIME!"

"That'd be great Pap!"

He had to lean way down to give us hugs, being about two feet taller than both of us.

We walked into Waterfall and shed our heavy coats, a feeling a dèjá vu spreading. We continued on until we reached the first room.

The sentry station wasn't empty. I rolled my eyes to heaven. Not again.

"Fancy seeing you here."

"leaving already?"

"Shoulder healed. Mostly thanks to Paps spaghetti"

I shrugged just to prove I could.

Sans looked hard at me, narrowing his eye sockets. I knew he was looking at my soul again.

"Stop. I can't be around you twelve seconds without you invading my privacy like that!"

Poor Frisk was very confused, but I just huffed and grabbed their hand, dragging them into the next room.

"What was that about Allie?"

"Sans and I had a little argument about his abilities."

"What abilities?"

"He can look at our souls and see memories and feelings and-"

"Oh!" Frisk giggled, "so he knows about your crush on him."

"Why do both of you think that! He has been nothing but smug and rude!"

"He cheered you up in Grillby's when you were feeling down."

"Then proceeded to almost blow our cover."

"I'm sure he was joking."

"He does a lot of that."

I grumbled.

"Let's just put it this way. He was very insensitive about my memories and my past the last time we spoke."

"You didn't even give him a chance today. He could have been about to apologize."

I snorted in derision.

"I could tell he was looking at my soul again, without permission. If he was sorry he wouldn't have done it."

We had been walked while we talked, and quickly reached the point that the floating platform had taken us across.

"It's gone. How do we get to the other side now?"

A new voice piped up.

"You could take the ferry."

It startled Frisk and I and we turned suddenly.

"I can only take one at a time."

"Er-that'd be great." I lowered my voice so only Frisk could hear.

"I'll go first, and if there's any trouble, run back to Snowdin."

We walked over the the monster, who was just floating in the water, waiting.

"Step on my face and I'll take you across. I'll come back for the little one don't worry."

It was a strange experience, and I don't quite know how they did it, but we got across safely so that I was thankful for.

As we walked into the next room, past some crystallized cheese, I realized who was waiting for us.

"Now you're following us?"

Sans shrugged.

"just doing my job."

I raised an eyebrow at the implied meaning. Was he still trying to defend his actions.

"Easy excuse."

Frisk asked what his job was here.

"I let people use the telescope for a small fee. You can try it for free though, since I know you."

"Okay!"

Frisk bounded over and put their eye to the eyepiece.

"Hey! I can't see anything."

I scrunched my brow and looked at Sans. He winked the same way he did when he pranked Paps. Frisk looked back at me, and I saw it. The pink ink surrounding their eye.

I desperately tried to hold back my laugh, and Sans was doing the same.

"not satisfied? don't worry I'll give ya a full refund."

Then I couldn't help it. I burst into peals of laughter. Frisk looked at me utterly confused, and then back to Sans who was now chuckling.

"Oh! I get it."

They ran over to the marsh water to wash the ink off.

I was still smiling when I looked back at Sans. He had his hands shoved in his coat pockets, and was looking ever so slightly sheepish.

"listen, Allie. i made a promise to Toriel a long time ago to keep any human that comes through here safe. but I also am the judge of souls for King Asgore. it's two very different things to juggle-" I opened my mouth to say something, smile fading, but he shook his head, looking at me imploringly. "I looked at your souls the first time to search your intentions. I realized you didn't want to hurt anyone and you just want to get Frisk out of here alive. so why did I keep checking yours? because it intrigued and impressed me. the amount of courage you have in that little body of yours is almost impossible. I wanted a better look at it." He sighed and met my eyes.

But frustration still burned in my stomach, and I refused to let him off that easy. He had invaded my privacy, and just being curious didn't cut it.

"You have no right." I hissed fiercely,

"none. you can't expect me to forgive you just like that."

Sans narrowed his eye sockets and replied shortly,

"i was trying to apologize."

"you have to actually be sorry to do that."

He looked away, refusing to meet my angry gaze.

Then he was gone.

Freaking teleporter.

Frisk returned just them, ink free.

They studied my face closely and then said slowly.

"Sans." It wasn't a question. I nodded.

"How my ship can sail when you two are arguing?"

I quirked an eyebrow and they grinned, shrugging.

"Well anyway, we've gotta move on. "

We headed south, down over the blue marsh land, Frisk smirking, me scowling.

Frisk was still grinning a bit when we got to the first echo flower. I touched it lightly, and it whispered,

"I can't run any longer...someone...anyone..."

the voice faded ominously and the air around us seemed to grow colder. Frisk shuddered.

"It sounded human , didn't it?"

They asked quietly.

I nodded. It was a grim reminder that we weren't the first humans here. The six kids Toriel cared for. Their souls taken by Asgore.

We walked on in silence, until the next flower. It whispered,

"So do you have a wish?"

"One...but it's kind of stupid..."

Frisk stared at the flower and then looked at me.

"Sis, do you have a wish?" They put the emphasis on the word you.

I nodded.

"Just one..." I muttered.

"What is it?"

"That we'll finally be able to get out from under this mountain, together, and go on that camping trip."

Frisk laughed quietly.

"I had forgotten about that." Then they wrapped their small arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"If I hadn't wanted to go camping up there none of this would have happened." they mumbled into my shirt, "I'm...sorry."

But I shook my head,

"Frisk don't beat yourself up over one decision. That's not how life works." I stroked their hair, comforting them. "I promise that we will get out of this alive. Anyone wanting to hurt you will have to do it over my dead body."

Frisk looked up at me, and said in a small voice, "That's what I'm worried about, Allie. What happens when you can't protect us anymore, by yourself. We should get Sans to help us. He is actually pretty powerful."

I scrunched my eyebrows, trying to recall a time I had seen Sans use magic. Besides teleporting. and seeing souls.

"What makes you say that?"

"You know during Paps' battle, in his final attack with the giant bone that should have been impossible for you to clear?"

"Yeah, but..."

"That was Sans. I think he can manipulate gravity."

So now I owned Sans my life. But it showed he actually cared. I shook the thought from my head. If he had cared about me and my feelings at all, he wouldn't have pried into my personal life without permission. Another thought occurred to me.

"I don't think I could ask Sans for that sort of favor. He told me himself that he wasn't built for combat like that."

I frowned at Frisk.

"His Stats are ridiculously low. He only has one HP."

Their eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy cow."

"Wait how did you not know that? You can see Stats."

"Only in Fights."

I grimaced then mentally shrugged. We were doing fine even without someone else's help. We could get through this.

I grinned lopsidedly down at Frisk and said,

"Well we better get moving. I'm sure there's a puzzle up ahead that is in desperate need of solving."

They nodded, a small smile playing on their own lips.

The path we had walked onto was a messy, twisting, turning thing, that switched directions multiple times for no apparent reason. Finally we found the path that headed up and out of the bright blue marshy water. There was a sign.

"The power to take their souls. This was the power the humans feared."

We exchanged looks. I sighed,

"Humans are like that, aren't we? Fearing power we don't have or understand."

Frisk nodded solemnly, saying,

"Humans can be assholes."

I gasped and looked at them, affronted.

"Frisk! You know how I feel about you cursing." They looked down at their feet, mumbling an apology.

"...though, it is true."

I put my arm around their shoulder lightly, and they looked up at me.

"Let's make that our goal today. Show some people that all humans aren't assholes."

They giggled and we walked on in comfortable silence.

We continued to the next room, which was just water, on both sides. It looked rather deep. Just as we got pretty far from the door leading back, a large tentacle rose from the water.

"Allie..."

"Just keep going."

Nothing is what it seems around here, but we quickened our pace. Another tentacle, a pale yellow color, rose in front. The water to our left pitched and rolled, like something huge was rising from its depths. We turned to watch as something huge, and yellow came out of the water, but it wasn't sinister. In fact, I had to put a hand over my own mouth to keep from laughing at its appearance. It had round watery eyes and a gaping mouth that was pulled into a gigantic smile.

"Hi! I'm Onionsan! Onionsan y'hear!"

Frisk giggled as I replied, fighting to keep a straight face,

"Hi, I'm Allie and this is Frisk. We're just passing through."

I took Frisk's hand and we kept waking. I got the chatty vibe from looking at Onionsan and I really didn't want to get caught up in small talk. New goal: get out and away without coming across like an a-hole. (As you can tell I'm a very goal oriented person.) Onionsan swam along, following us, and talked of its woes and friends all moving to the city.

"But Undyne's gonna fix it, y'hear! She's gonna set us free!"

This sent chills up my spine, even coming from someone as friendly as Onionsan. Monster freedom ment Frisk's death.

"That's the end of the room! Hope you enjoy the rest of Waterfalllllllllllllll"

Onionsan went back under the water in such a ridiculous fashion, that Frisk and I couldn't help it. We practically collapsed into the next room, giggling hysterically. Frisk fell into a heap on the stone floor, crying with laughter.

After about thirty seconds of this, I got up, dusted myself off, and finally noticed the room's occupants. Or should I say, lone occupant. It turned to face us, and my soul was instantly drawn out. I entered a Fight.

It was never easy here, was it?

*Laughter helps you stay determined*
