Previously: Simon and Carol move through Waterfall and meet Gerson, the reptilian veteran, who was invited to dinner by the Dreemurrs later, they then met Napstablook, who found out that he could get as much attention from humans as Mettaton, Toriel told him that she'd need some more snails on the way back, then they met Sans on the edge of Waterfall, who put them at ease quickly as he went ahead (or behind) to Snowdin as they "Followed", meanwhile...Cali asks Deos an important question.

(Snowdin)

Two skeletons were waiting near their home in their well lit town amoung the snow and the trees that make up this part of the underground, with one being laid back and the other being impatient.

"SANS! WHEN WILL THESE NEW HUMANS GET HERE?!" Papyrus asked.

"I can't second that, It's only been a minute." Sans said.

"SANS!" Papyrus shouted.

"There they are." Sans said as he looked in the direction of Waterfall.

Simon and Carol were following the Dreemurrs into Snowdin, they look around and see a nice-looking town filled with a variety of monster types and they don't feel like they're in danger, they are then approached by a taller skeleton who looks like he's dressed for battle.

"GREETINGS HUMANS, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WELCOME YOU TO SNOWDIN!" Papyrus said.

"Right...I'm Simon, this is Carol, we've been taking a tour of the underground, recording everything as we go for the surface to find out that you're not a threat to them." Simon said, with some nervousness as to how friendly Papyrus.

"That's certainly true, we've found out that something that humans did long ago, almost turned monsters into what humans feared." Carol said with a similar level of nervousness.

"Mistakes have been made on both sides, but that doesn't mean that we can't come to an understanding" Sans said.

"Yes, Sans...mistakes..." Toriel said, regret is still there, she can't forget the ones that she made herself, which didn't contribute positively to the situation.

"It won't go like last time." Frisk said.

"Yes, at least both sides will be better informed." Asgore said.

"Humans aren't as bad as I thought either" Chara said.

"Those are words that I didn't expect from you." Asriel said, he truly did NOT expect to hear those words from someone who once hated them so much, they wanted to wipe them all out for what they did to monsterkind.

"INDEED, I WOULD MUCH RATHER COOK FOR THEM THAN FIGHT THEM!" Papyrus said.

"Yeah, at this rate, you'll be doin' that tomatter." Sans said.

"SANS! NOT IN FRONT OF THE HUMANS!" Papyrus said.

"I can see it doesn't get boring here." Carol said with a smile on her face.

Then Monster Kid runs up to them and then falls flat on his face, he then turns his attention to the Dreemurrs and these two new humans. "Yo! That was fast! You saw the sign outside, right?"

"Yeah, it's hard to miss it...you have no arms." Simon said.

"Simon! Don't say that." Carol said.

"Yeah, I know, I don't let that get me down, I sometimes need rescuing by Undyne when I fall down in Waterfall." Monster Kid said.

"I can see how that could be a problem..." Carol said, understandingly as she knows that swimming would be more difficult with such a disability.

"You spelt Library wrong..." Simon said.

"YES, I KNOW! I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED BEFORE I PAINTED THAT SIGN!" Papyrus said.

"I guess like your artistic career, it dried up." Sans said, Toriel laughed at this.

"SANS!" Papyrus said.

(Deos' Apartment / Lab)

Deos was in the middle of a conversation with Dr. Alphys regarding the amalgamate problem, she was gaining in confidence and she was surer of herself than she'd ever been.

"So, you've tested it on a smaller scale and it worked?" Deos asked.

"Yeah, they separated into their individual parts and they didn't break apart, I can't believe that I didn't think of this sooner." Dr. Alphys said, happily at this result.

"I'm guessing that it's because you aren't tearing yourself apart and have a girlfriend...So, when are you going to try it with an entire amalgamate?" Deos asked.

"I-I wanna speak to Toriel a-about that first." Dr. Alphys said, with some nervousness.

"She's a stricter taskmaster, isn't she?" Deos asked.

"Yeah, it's what I need...I don't want to make things worse." Dr. Alphys replied.

"Although she is more understanding than she was and not just because it resulted in Asriel's resurrection, although there was a...lengthy and painful transition period." Deos said.

"Yeah" Dr. Alphys said, painfully aware of that, Deos then quickly changed the subject.

"How are things between you and Undyne?" Deos asked.

"Great, I get tired out a lot, due to her training, but it's worth it...and she's getting me into some healthy eating, I'll need it as instant noodles might be quicker, but doesn't give me much." Dr. Alphys replied with some affection in her voice as she thinks of her girlfriend.

"Hey Alphys, did you need me to check on the numbers?" Cali asked.

"I'll leave you two to deal with that, I'll make some tea while..." Deos said.

"Give up, Deos! You just want to hear me do my thing..." Cali said, with some affection as she spoke, while looking in his direction.

"I can't argue with that..." Deos said, with similar affection, he then went to make some tea for both of them.

(Throne Room)

The Dreemurrs are with Simon and Carol, along with their son Liam and the other five resurrected human children, Sans is with them as well.

"Well, it's been informative as it was surprising to be here, we have what we need and we've got back what was lost to us." Carol said.

"We will still not all go to the surface right away, there is still some lingering resentment that we need to deal with down here." Toriel said.

"Fair enough, it's nice of you to let Sans take us down the mountain with his shortcuts." Simon said.

"It saves on travel time and it's less dangerous for the kids." Sans said.

"Well, we'll be seeing you sometime after relations are formally made, hopefully better than last time." Simon said.

They then all said their goodbyes as Sans used his shortcut to take them to the bottom of the mountain.

(Mt. Ebott Car Park)

They all appeared in the car park, there are few vehicles there, the humans were surprised by the location that they appeared.

"Thank you, Sans for taking us where our car is." Carol said.

"Really? I was just aiming for the bottom of the mountain, I wasn't aiming for your wheels." Sans said

Meanwhile on the road that leads to Ebott City, a car suddenly braked and drove in their direction and stopped, out of the car came a slightly mature woman who ran towards the Light Blue Soul child and then knelt to her height, her eyes streaming with tears.

"I never thought that I'd see you again, Lily" The woman said, Lily looked at her confused and then recognized this woman.

"Sarah?..." Lily asked.

"Yeah...how have you not aged in all this time?! Where have you been..." Sarah asked, although she stopped when she saw Sans, a short skeleton that stands up on his own, she looked scarred.

"Hey, I'm Sans, I helped get everyone get down here quicker, I know it must be strange to meet a talking skeleton." Sans said.

"Yeah..." Sarah said, with some nervousness.

"I'll let the others explain me, I need to get back to my bro, he'll be worrying about me." Sans said.

"I can understand that...you see, Lily is my sister, I was a year older than her when I last saw her and now...she's been gone a while." Sarah said, as she hugged Lily.

"Okay" Sans said, as he used a short-cut to disappear, much to Sarah's confusion.

"Can someone explain what's going on?! First, I find that my sister is alive and hasn't aged that much since I last saw her and on top of that, I see an undead being with clothes that can disappear in a way that would be the envy of a Las Vegas stage show!" Sarah asked, Simon and Carol know that they have a LOT to explain...

How will the humans react to what Simon and Carol have to show them? Will things go smoother than it was last time humans and monsters interacted with each other on the surface? Find out in Chapter 38: Two Years Later.
