Thank you for the positiveness and puns! :D


Hiccup walked outside, and was immediately greeted by a cold, harsh wind. He shivered, crossing his arms across his chest and looking around. There was a bush, and a bunch of snow and trees. Oddly, it was almost as cold as Berk could get.

"Okay, I've had just about as much as I can take of this place." He grumbled, beginning to walk forward. "Talking nasty flowers, crazy veggies, ghosts, frogs, horned things, giant bugs, slime creatures... and for some reason, it can snow underground. Not to mention 'phones' and talking rocks."

He stepped over a huge branch and continued onward.

He heard a deafening snap.

Turning around, he saw the huge branch had been snapped in at least three places, as if a dragon had bit it.

"Toothless?"

He stared at it for a long moment, then continued. He heard footsteps for a moment, other than his. He turned around again, to see nothing.

"If that's you, bud, or that freaky flower, this isn't funny."

He backed up slowly, then turned around and continued faster. He came to a small bridge, poorly barred over. The footsteps continued, right behind him. He froze.

"Human. Don't you know how to greet a new pal?"

The deep voice startled Hiccup.

"Turn around and shake my hand."

Hiccup slowly turned around, seeing a figure wearing a strange blue garment with a hood, the hood pulled over it's head. A bony hand reached out, Hiccup backed away a little with a yelp.

"Well? C'mon. Haven't got all day."

Hiccup reached out and grabbed the hand.

'pffffffffffftthhhbbbbbb.'

Hiccup's eyebrows shot into his hair.

The figure broke out laughing. The hood fell off, revealing a grinning skeleton face. "Ah, the old whoopie cushion in the hand trick. Always a gasser. Am I right?"

Hiccup stared in amazement, then calmed down. A talking sheep? Why not a skeleton? "Who are you?"

"The name's Sans, pal. Nice to meet you. Yeah, I'm supposed to be watching for humans right now, but I don't really care." He chuckled. "Now, my brother? He's a human hunting fanatic."

Hiccup gulped. "Oh boy."

Sans pointed behind Hiccup. "Go on, my bro made the bars way to wide to stop anyone."

Hiccup walked forward, having to duck under the bar, but he made it through. Sans walked through without having to duck, due to his stature. Hiccup walked forward in amazement.

"Er, here comes my brother. You want to hide?"

Hiccup turned to Sans. "Is he dangerous?"

"Meh, not really."

A larger skeleton in body armor appeared, staring at the two of them through scowling eyes. Well, staring at Sans.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Just standing here."

"How long has it been since you recalibrated your puzzles?" The taller skeleton looked furious.

Sans just shrugged. "Meh, Papyrus. Don't worry, I've gotten a ton of work done today. A skele-ton." Sans shrugged, winking at his brother.

Papyrus let out a frustrated noise. "Sans!" He stopped. He stared at Hiccup. "Who's this? And why is he wearing such fabulous armor?"

Hiccup smiled nervously. "Hello. My name's Hiccup."

"I haven't seen you before! Are you new here?"

Hiccup nodded. "You could say that.."

Papyrus walked forward and offered a gloved hand. "Welcome to the neighborhood! I'm the great Papyrus, and you've met my brother, Sans. Where did you move from, Waterfall? Or Hotland? Oh, are you a member of the royal guard? Where did you get such amazing armor?"

Hiccup shook Papyrus's hand and tried to think up believable answers. "Er.. I'm from somewhere else. And no, I'm not a member of the royal guard. As for my armor? I made it."

Papyrus seemed enamored with Hiccup's flight suit. "Wowie! Can you teach me how to make that?"

"Sure, if you want."

Sans cleared his throat. Hiccup wondered how it was possible, seeing he didn't have one. "Well, why don't we head to Snowdin?"

Hiccup grinned, happy he could avoid a fight for now. "Well, I am just passing through, but I can stay a while and teach Papyrus how I made my armor."

Sans grinned. "C'mon, fellas. I know a shortcut to Snowdin."


Hiccup sat on the couch in the skeleton brothers' house. Papyrus had taken quite a liking to Hiccup, but Sans had told him Papyrus probably hadn't figured out he was human yet. Hiccup had been fed something called 'spaghetti', and he had enjoyed it. He had yet to ask Sans what a 'whoopie cushion' was. He was intrigued by their 'pet rock', and had asked both of them about Toothless. Papyrus said he had seen a large black saddled thing with a half red tail go past Snowdin into Waterfall. That was enough for Hiccup. As soon as he had stayed long enough to satisfy Papyrus's armor needs, he would leave. Sans sat down on the couch next to him.

"So, pal. How'd you lose that leg of yours?" He put a faded yellow thin thing in his mouth and started to eat it. Hiccup had yet to solve the mystery of how these guys ate, and it hurt his brain to think about it too much.

"Yeah, that's a long story. What's that?"

"A popato chisp. And I got plenty of time, pal."

"Can I try one?"

Sans held out the strange container the 'popato chisps' were in. "Help yourself."

Hiccup grabbed one and ate it. It was salty, but the other taste was something he had never had before. But he hadn't had something to eat he didn't like down here yet. A positive, he supposed. "Interesting." He paused. "My leg.. Yeah, back where I come from, there are dragons everywhere. We used to be at war with them, but they were being forced by a queen dragon to take food from us. Me and Toothless took her down together, and I lost this in the process." He lifted his left leg.

Sans seemed intrigued. He reached out a hand and poked Hiccup's stump.

"Hey, that tickles!"

Sans laughed and left Hiccup's leg alone. "Anyone ever told you you don't have a leg to stand on?"

Hiccup snorted at the joke. "A leg joke, really?"

"Well, hey pal, maybe you're not the only one who's on his last leg." Sans was laughing louder and looked thoroughly amused.

"Humpf." Hiccup snorted in fake grumpiness.

"Hey, I'm going out on a limb here! My puns are very prosthetic!"

Hiccup shoved Sans off the counch, and Sans rolled over on the floor, laughing so hard he was crying. Hiccup burst out laughing as well, unable to control himself.

"You make the worst puns I have ever heard!"

"That's the idea!"

The two continued laughing.


Hiccup made his way past Snowdin, and was about to head for waterfall. He saw Papyrus standing there.

"Hiccup. I know you're a human."

Hiccup nodded and walked forward until they were about three feet apart. "Papyrus, you're a great guy. I've loved eating your spaghetti, and I love your brother's puns. It's been a lot of fun."

Papyrus stared at Hiccup for a moment. "I have had a great time with you, Hiccup. I enjoyed learning about Dragons and where you come from. But, I cannot let you pass. I have had a dream of being in the royal guard for a long time now, and I cannot pass up the chance to become part of it. Undyne wants humans, so I will give you to her, and she will take you to the capital."

Hiccup looked Papyrus in the eye. "Papyrus, you don't have to do that. Sans tells me you want to be part of the guard because you want friends. Because you want to be popular. But Papyrus, I'm your friend. You don't need to be famous to have friends. I know that more than anyone. Toothless and me are best friends, and he didn't care that I was a nobody. He accepted me for who I am. And I'm sure people will do that for you too, if you show them who you are. You are a wonderful person."

Papyrus stared at him in amazement. "Hiccup..."

Hiccup put a hand on the skeleton's shoulder. "I believe it. You can have friends. Just be yourself."

Papyrus smiled a big smile. "Thank you, Hiccup. I will. Good luck out there. Oh, and as for King Asgore? He's a big sweetie. Everybody loves him. I'm sure he'll take you to the barrier himself if you ask him."

Hiccup grinned. This would be easy. Hopefully.


Hope you all like the way I handled the Skelebros and Hiccup.

And Papyrus's speech is in bold because it's hard to handle all caps. It hurts my eyes.
