Authors note: From this area on, you may find an occasional headcannon of mine. One of them being that Papyrus was holding back by quite a bit when fighting classic Frisk, because he's really good at knowing how to control his power, and can read into what people can handle.


Frisk proceeded to the next area, passing a sign that read "Warning: Dog marriage."

*Wait what?* (Yes, you read that correctly….but still...what?) The path seemed to split two ways, so Frisk walked straight and saw an oddly colored patch of snow and went to investigate.

(Oh, theres a switch in the snow!) Frisk pressed the switch and a faint click could be heard. Turning back around, she went the other way and discovered that a pile of snow was covering a map of the area.

*Oh….I wasn't supposed to figure it out right away, heh.* (That's what you get for being nosy, an easy puzzle.) *I'm a detective, it's my JOB to be nosey!* They passed through the gate, only to be 'hounded' by two dogs wielding axes.

"What's that smell?"

"Where's that smell?"

"If you're a smell…."

"Identify yoursmelf!" The dogs roamed a bit before returnign to Frisk * What the heck?*

"Hmmm….here's that weird smell..it makes me want to eliminate."

"Eliminate you!" The world faded to black and white

(Dogi assault you!)*Dogi? Dont you mean dogs?* ( Nah, lets see what we can do with these two….) ACT: CHECK, Re-sniff, roll around, pet.

*Wait I got it, these dogs are going by smell, so rolling around might make them want to double check!* (Go for it!) Frisk selected the roll option.

(You roll around in the dirt and snow….now you smell like a weird puppy. They may want to smell you again.) Frisk heard this, but managed to get cut decently by the twin axes, taking out a small bit of her health. She selected re-sniff.

(After rolling in the dirt you seem alright!)

"What's that smell…"

"Are you actually a puppy?!"

Frisk chose to pet both of them, dodging their attacks with only mild wounds.

"Wait dogs can pet dogs?"

"I used to be so blind….but now I can see clearly…" SPARE (You won! You gained 0XP and 40 g)

"A whole new world has been opened for us, thank you weird puppy." When they left, Frisk laughed as she continued onwards, finding a small puzzle with two x's. The sign told her to turn them to o's, so she did, and approached Papyrus with a smile on her face.

"WHAT?! HOW DID YOU AVOID MY TRAP? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IS THERE ANY LEFT FOR ME?" (What will you do?)

Frisk looked down slightly "I left it…"

"REALLY?! WOWIE, YOU RESISTED THE FLAVOR OF MY HOME COOKED PASTA, JUST SO YOU COULD SHARE WITH ME? FEAR NOT HUMAN! I MASTER CHEF PAPYRUS, WILL MAKE YOU ALL THE PASTA YOU COULD EVER WANT! NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!"

*Oh my god he's really pure…..* (Looks like you have dinner plans today!) Both Papyrus and Frisk walked to the next area, Where Papyrus introduced another x's and O's puzzle, this time shaped like his face.

"HUMAN! HMMMMM….HOW DO I SAY THIS? YOU WERE TAKING A LONG TIME TO ARRIVE SO I DECIDED TO IMPROVE THIS PUZZLE, BY MAKING IT LOOK MORE LIKE MY FACE." Papyrus made a slight frown "HOWEVER, THE SNOW HAS FROZEN TOT EH GROUND, AND THE SOLUTION IS DIFFERENT NOW. AND AS SUSUALL, MY LAZYBONES BROTHER IS NOWHERE IN SIGHT! I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS….WORRY NOT! FOR I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL SOLVE THIS CONUNDRUM, MEANWHILE, HOW ABOUT YOU TRY THE PUZZLE? I'LL TRY NOT TO GIVE AWAY THE ANSWER!"

Frisk walked around the puzzle observing and finding the right path to start from *Oh, it's right here.* She followed her path, earing an excited look from Papyrus.

"WOW! YOPU SOLVED IT! INCREDIBLE, I'M IMPRESSED! AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN NEED MY HELP, YOU MUST LIKE PUZZLES AS MUCH AS I DO! WELL,. IM SURE YOU'LL LIKE THE NEXT PUZZLE THEN! IT MIGHT EVEN BE TO EASY FOR YOU! NYEH HEH HEH!" Frisk watched as Papyrus excitedly ran to his next destination.

(Oh my god.) *That enthusiasm is infectious...* (He must be protected at all costs) *Agreed, protect the cinnamon roll.* Frisk walked by Sans

"hey you did pretty well at that puzzle, you didn't even need my help. Which is great 'cause i love doing absolutely nothing."

"Pfft ok, glad I didn't interrupt your 'bone' doggling." After saying this Frisk pulled a grin, and Sans began to laugh.

" hahahahahahah, oh man that was a good one kiddo, see ya over at the next puzzle." Frisk nodded and waved as she walked to the next area, seeing a square of various gray tiles. Papyrus turns and notices Frisk walk over

"HEY, ITS THE HUMAN! YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS PUZZLE! IT WAS MADE BY THE GREAT DR. ALPHYS! YOU SEE THESE TILES? WHEN I FLIP THIS SWITCH, EVERY ONE OF THEM WILL CHANGE INTO A DIFFERENT COLOR, AND EACH COLOR HAS A DIFFERENT FUNCTION!"

Papyrus began explaining all of the tile functions, earning a thumbs up from Frisk.

"GREAT! THEN THERE IS ONE LAST THING, THIS PUZZLE….IS ENTIRELY RANDOM! NOT EVEN I WILL KNOW WHAT THE SOLUTION WILL BE! READY? HERE WE GO! NYEH HEH HEH!"

As Papyrus flipped the switch, tiles began changing at a rapid rate, blues, yellows greens and the other colors flashed quickly until it stopped…..at a pink path through red sides. Papyrus' jaw nearly hit the floor as Frisk felt a wave of disappointment. It5 seemed Papyrus was disappointed as 3well, as he slowly spun out of the room.

*Aaaaw i wanted to do the puzzle!*

(I know right? This would have been an actual challenge and he would have been so happy…)

*Also you see that spin? Imagine this ….How could this happen to meeeeee*

(I've made my mistaaakes, and life goes ooooon, or how about I'VE COME SO FAR, TO LOSE IT ALL!)

*And in the end, it doesn't even maaaater. OH OH! Maybe Hello darkness my old friend…..*

(All around me are familiar faces…) Frisk chuckles as she walks by Sans once more.

"hm, shame the puzzle didn't work out. Oh by the way, you know that plate of frozen spaghetti back there?" Frisk nodded "it wasn't actually too bad for my brother, since he started cooking lessons, he's been improving a lot...i bet if he keeps it up, he'll actually make something edible." Frisk giggled as she waved at Sans, walking onto a pathway filled with various snow dogs, and a save point.

(Knowing that lesser dog will never stop trying to build the perfect snow dog, fills you with determination!) *Heck yeah it does!* GAME SAVED

After this, she passes through an ice puzzle, turning all the x's in to o's after a couple botched attempts. On one of those attempts, Frisk Fell onto a bit of snow with a snow Papyrus and a pile of snow with Sans' name written in red marker (Thats pretty awsome, nice work Papyrus!).

After the puzzle was a field of strange objects made of snow. Frisk walked up to one

(It's a snow poff.) Frisk smiled and walked over to another one, to which Chara replied in a voice lightly laced with sarcasm

(And this, is a snow poff.) at the thrid one Chara's sassiness was becoming clear, making Frisk giggle.

(This, however, is a snow poff.) So frisk walked to the forth one, Chara was starting t5o sound some what annoyed.

(Surprisingly, it's a snow poff.)

(Snow poff…)

(Is it really a snow poff?)

(NYEH HEH, BEHOLD HUMAN, THAT IS A SNOW POFF!) *Ok that was a good Papyrus impression.* (Well it is easy when I have access to where you're brain stores people's voices.) *Huh, funny that.*

Frisk held a grin as she prodded yet another poff, only to find some gold inside of it!

(Hey you found 30G in this…..what is it again?) *It's a snow poff right?*

(Yes.) *Looks like there is a snow poff in our way….* But as Frisk approached it, a small white dog poked it's head out from the snow "Aaaaw, hey there little guy!"

"Bark bark!" The dog yipped as it began to stand, Frisk watched in a face of shock as the dog stood in a huge suit of armor.

(Oh my god….) *Thats one big puppy….IT'S TOO CUTE!* the world went to black as the fight began.

(Cue dogsong!)

(Its the greater dog.) *Check* ( Greater dog ATK: 15 DEF:8 It's so excited that it thinks fighting is just play. So like a dog that wants to roughhouse with other dogs.) *Except im the target….* For some reason though, the only attack was a sleeping dog at the bottom of the 'Fight area' leaving Frisk undamaged. *Odd*

(Greater dog is watching you intently.) *Alright, maybe he actually is like a regular dog, lets try it.* Frisk then called Greater dog over "C'mere boy come on!" The monster obeyed excitedly, bounding towards her flecking slobber onto her face, and yet another easy attack.

(Hehe, looks like Greater Dog just wants some attention.) Frisk smiled as she pet the dog behind it's ears "Whose a good boy? You are!" The dog was so comforted that it fell asleep on top of her, only to wake up full of energy and running around. After the same attack, 3rd easy one in a row, Frisk decided to throw a snowball over to the dog, but it fell to the ground with a splat. In response Greater Dog began gathering all of the snow in the area in a huge snow ball and brings it to Frisk, becoming tired and laying his head on her. His attack failed once more as Frisk began petting until the spare option became available.

(Critical pet! Greater dog is contented! YOU WON! YOU GAINED 0 EXP AND 0 LV) The fight ended and Greater dog leaped out of his armor and Into Frisk's arms, giving her a lick on the cheek before wondering off.

*That was the most fun and adorable thing ever.* (I know right? Lets see what the skele bro's have for us this time.) *Heck yeah* She walked over to the next area, and onto a bridge. From afar she could see Papyrus and Sans. When she got most of the way through, Papyrus grinned.

"HUMAN! THIS IS YOUR FINAL AND MOST DANGEROUS CHALLENGE! BEHOLD! THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR!" As he said this, flame throwers, spike balls, a dog on a rope, spears and other objects appeared around the final stretch of the bridge, earing a wide eyed look from Frisk.

*He can't be serious.* (No way…)

"WHEN I SAY THE WORD, IT WILL FULLY ACTIVATE! CANNONS WILL FIRE, SPIKES WILL SWING AND BLADES WILL SLICE! EACH PART WILL SWING VIOLENTLY UP AND DOWN AND ONLY THE TINIEST CHANCE OF VICTORY WILL REMAIN! ARE YOU READY? BECAUSE! I! AM! ABOUT! TO DO IT!" Despite this….the trap didn't activate, Sans looked over to his brother

"well? what's the hold up?"

"HOLD UP? WHAT HOLD UP? IM…..IM ABOUT TO ACTIVATE IT NOW!" Frisk could see the hesitation on Papyrus' face, he really didn't want to hurt her….

"That, uh, doesn't look very activated." Papyrus grimaced slightly

"WELL! THIS CHALLENGE! IT SEEMS….MAYBE….TOO EASY TO DEFEAT THE HUMAN WITH. YEAH WE CAN'T USE THIS ONE! I AM A SKELETON WITH STANDARDS! MY PUZZLES ARE VERY FAIR, AND MY TRAPS ARE EXPERTLY COOKED! BUT THIS METHOD IS TOO DIRECT, NO CLASS AT ALL! AWAY IT GOES!" Papyrus let out a sigh of relif, making Frisk grin.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? THIS WAS ANOTHER VICTORY FOR PAPYRUS! NYEH! HEH!...HEH?" Papyrus walked away, Frisk caught a slight look of concern on the skeleton's usually cheerful face.

(I hope we don't have to fight him…..) *But we probably will….. * She walked over to Sans.

"Heya Sans."

"heya. I don't know what my brother's gonna do now….but if i were you i'd make sure i understand blue attacks." Frisk nodded and waved as she walked on, entering Snowden, finding a save point.

( the sight of such a friendly town, fills you with determination!) GAME SAVED. Frisk went on to buy some food from the shop, and take a rest at the inn. Afterwords she walked through the town, everyone seemed happy despite their conditions. She could hear children playing, adults chatting away, all in all it was a very cozy place….

*Why the hell are they trapped down here…* Frisk passed through Snowden, and into an area shrouded by snow and fog. In the distance, a tall figure could be seen, and when the figure spoke, Frisk made a sad smile.

{This is where the major deviations will begin, it starts with a harder fight…..}

*Looks like he's fighting us….but if he was, why didn't he fight us in town?* (Maybe he wanted it to be dramatic, also maybe so others don't get hurt? I don't know how those battle fields we enter work fully….)

"HUMAN. ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME COMPLEX FEELINGS. FEELINGS LIKE….THE JOY OF FINDING ANOTHER PASTA LOVER…...THE ADMIRATION OF ANOTHER'S PUZZLE SOLVING SKILLS….THE DESIRE TO HAVE A COOL, SMART PERSON THINK YOU ARE COOL. "

*Daaaw….*

"THESE FEELINGS….MUST BE WHAT YOU ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW! I CAN HARDLY IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE TO FEEL THAT WAY, AFTER ALL, I AM VERY GREAT."

*Nice deflection tactic Papyrus, but you're deception needs work.* (Pffffft It's not like he's actually talking about himself….baka.)

" I DON'T EVER WONDER WHAT HAVING LOTS OF FRIENDS IS LIKE…"

"Papyrus…..I want to be your friend."

"WORRY NOT HUMAN! YOU SHALL BE LONELY NO LONGER! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL BE YOUR…" Papyrus paused and frowned sadly.

"NO…...NO, THIS IS ALL WRONG. I CAN'T BE YOUR FRIEND. YOU ARE A HUMAN! I MUST CAPTURE YOU! THEN I CAN FULFILL MY LIFELONG DREAM! POWERFUL! POPULAR! PRESTIGIOUS! THAT'S PAPYRUS, THE NEWEST MEMBER….OF THE ROYAL GUARD!" the world faded to black.

(Pick your favorite bonetrousle remix, i like the kazoo version.)

Frisk looked down at her options….and slowly pulled her gun holster off of her belt. She looked Papyrus right dead in the eye sockets as she tossed it to the side, landing with a soft crunch.

"We don't have to fight Papyrus! You can make friends just by being you!"

Papyrus sighed "SO YOU WON'T FIGHT…..THEN LET'S SEE HOW YOU HANDLE MY FABLED BLUE ATTACK!"

Frisk held perfectly still as a large storm of blue bones passed through her, only for her soul to turn blue, forcing her to the ground. As soon as she hit, several bones rouse up and knocked Frisk around, taking off some Hp.

*What the heck?*

"YOU'RE BLUE NOW. THAT'S MY ATTACK! NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!"

*Papyrus you clever son of a….* (Holy crap…)

After her turn, Papyrus made a large wave of bones pop up fromt he ground.

"HOW HIGH CAN YOU JUMP?" Frisk got hit by a few bones as she was trying to get used to this new magic.

"I CAN ALMOST TASTE MY FUTURE POPULARITY!"

Frisk hit the spare button once more "Papyrus all you need are friends….being popular doesn't guarantee anything!"

Papyrus grimaced slightly, and shook his head. He threw his next attack yelling " PAPYRUS, MEMBER OF THE ROYAL GUARD!" This time the bones came in rapid succession, in a couple patterns, knocking Frisk around with the last few bones.

*God damn he's tough* (Seriously though….)

The same thing ensued after every attack. He spoke of Undyne's pride, king Asgore shaping a hedge in his image

"MY BROTHER…..WELL HE WON'T CHANGE VERY MUCH." Papyrus said with a smile.

More multitudes of bones hit Frisk, Papyrus seemed to be gradually increasing the speed and changing tactics.

"BUT WITH MY MANY ADMIRERS…..HOW DO I KNOW IF ANY OF THEM WILL SINCERELY LIKE ME…..AND SOMEONE LIKE YOU IS REALLY RARE."

*man….he really is conflicted….* (Yeah….let's do this.) Frisk was filled with determination as she pressed the spare option once more.

"UGH, FORGET IT! JUST GIVE UP ALREADY!" Papyrus' eye flashed orange as bones hurled towards her….along with two scull things that shot lasers hitting Frisk directly…..and causing the world to fade back in as Frisk was pushed into the ice cold water.


Author's note: What a COOL way to end the chapter eh? Was that pun to watered down for ya?
