A/N: Welcome back to that one fanfic you may or may not like! And I even got the chapter out before I said I did! Man, I really pushed myself for this one...

Anyway, review answering time!

Llew444: Thank you for your feedback and support. Yep, "break a leg" is what they say, but I don't want to break a leg... -_-'

The Rude Girl: Thanks for the support nonetheless. I appreciate it.

I'm hatching ideas for after the Neutral Run and Pacifist Run of this. I'll be making a poll, and the question will be, "Who do you want to see have a Genocide Run?" The seven options will be: Felix, Frisk, Chara, Felix and Frisk, Felix and Chara, Chara and Frisk, All Three Humans, or No-one. If I get a close enough spread between one of the Genocide options and the No Genocide option, I might bring more pain upon myself to create another story where there is no Genocide timeline.

Please vote!

Felix: "What's... a Genocide Run?"

Kenny: "Nothing you need to worry about..."

Felix: "If you say so..."

Chapter 5

Puns, Pals, and Papyrus

When I woke up from my dream, Frisk was writing in a book. I wanted to know what she was writing, but I guessed that the book was her diary. I got up and dusted myself off, as some snow had collected on me. I didn't know how, but it happened. "Frisk, you ready to go?"

She looked at me, before smiling. "Yep! I wonder what Papyrus and Sans are up to though…"

"Who knows?" I shrugged. "With Sans's capabilities to be a comedian, and Papyrus's tendencies to get annoyed at Sans's puns, it's a wonder how they don't start attacking each other…" I suddenly thought to myself, "How did I know that?"

"You do have a point there. Papyrus seems like he'd rather be lazy than listen to Sans's puns… And that's saying something…" Frisk's voice trailed off, as if she was implying something, but I didn't understand. Just as I was about to ask Frisk, a snowball hit the sentry station. Frisk stood up. "Sans, if you wanted us up, you didn't have to throw snowballs at your own sentry station…"

"well, i just wanted to let you kiddos know that paps is up. i rattled his bones this morning with some more of my hilarious puns. if you see him stomping in the snow next to me, that's why." Sans was showing off his usual smile.

"Thanks, Sans." I waved at him as he walked off. I jumped out of the sentry station, my weapon and shield on my back. "Welp, shall we move forwards? I don't want to keep Papyrus waiting."

Frisk nodded. "As he would say, 'The Great Papyrus is unimpressed with your speed of walking!'" We both started laughing before I looked at her. "…What?"

"He hasn't called himself 'The Great Papyrus'…" I was suspicious.

"I thought he did… I mean, I get the feeling that he did…" Frisk shook her head. "Whatever, it's probably from my dreams or something." She started racing off, the bow in her hair bouncing as she ran.

I thought for a moment. "Frisk says something that hasn't been said, I think something I shouldn't, and I've got this weird voice following me around…" I rubbed my temples. "Yep… Definitely need to see a psychiatrist after this…"

I ran after Frisk, and skidded to a halt beside her. Sans and Papyrus were talking. Suddenly, Papyrus pointed at us. "SANS! ARE THOSE… HUMANS?"

Sans pointed past us and at a rock and a small tree. "no, that's a rock, and that's a pine tree. we've got plenty of those around here, bro."

Papyrus looked disappointed. "OH… I SEE… I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, ROCK. I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, TREE." I had a confused look on my face.

"hey, paps." Sans was trying to get his attention again. "what's that in front of the rock and tree?"

Papyrus's face lit up like… like that small pine tree he apologized to. "ARE THOSE HUMANS?!"

"yeah, paps. i think they are." Sans was holding back some laughter.

"FINALLY! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE CAPTURED NOT ONLY ONE, BUT TWO HUMANS! NOW, I WILL NOT ONLY BE A PRESTIGIOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN, BUT I WILL BE ONE OF UNDYNE'S MOST TRUSTED SOLDIERS!" Papyrus's voice echoed through the forest, as his cape billowed behind him. "NYEHEHEHEHEHEH!" He dashed off. "HEH!"…but not before coming back to laugh once again.

Sans looked proud in us. "hey, thanks kids. pap seems really happy now." I smiled at him, and his smile flashed back at me. "if you could play along with him, at least until you guys get outta snowdin, i'll have to take ya to grillby's sometime."

"You don't need to take us to Grillby's, Sans." Frisk smiled too. "We'll be happy to help."

"alright. paps'll have some puzzles for ya. none of 'em are really that dangerous. i will warn you though. in order to get outta snowdin, you'll hafta battle my bro." Sans's smile faultered when he said battle. "That's strange…" I thought. "He acts like he's said this to us before, and we disobeyed but… I don't remember doing this…"

Nonetheless, I laughed slightly. "Don't worry, we'll go through these puzzles like champions! And when we battle, it will end with mercy, not bloodshed."

Sans sighed. "good. i'll be up ahead." He started walking away before he stopped before thinking. "that's a good one… heh, i'll be sure to use that one…" I shrugged, guessing he was just talking about a pun.

I turned to Frisk. "I guess you were right… He did say he was 'The Great Papyrus'… I guess he must've said it earlier, and I missed it." Frisk nodded.

"Told you. Now c'mon, let's get going!" Frisk ran ahead, and I followed, right next to her. We went through some tough puzzles. I say that because Frisk left me in the dust, and I had to figure them out… It took me quite the while to catch up to her. I caught up to her when she was staring at… a piece of paper?

"SANS!" Papyrus shouted. "WHERE IS YOUR PUZZLE?!"

"it's right there bro. it's junior jumble, your favorite." Sans said as Frisk and I started to solve it.

"JUNIOR JUMBLE? WOWIE, THIS MUST BE A REALLY GOOD ONE IF THEY'RE TAKING SO MUCH TIME ON IT!" Papyrus smiled.

"c'mon pap, i only used it because i solved the crossword." Sans said.

"CROSSWORDS? HOW DARE YOU, SANS! JUNIOR JUMBLE IS FAR SUPERIOR TO CROSSWORDS!" Papyrus seemed offended.

"pap, you know that junior jumble's for babybones." Sans seems like he rehearsed this. "little bitty junior babybones that jumble their words!" I chuckled at the pun. "see, even the guy thinks it's funny!"

"GRR! SANS, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE INSULTED MY JUNIOR JUMBLE!" Papyrus looked like he was about to snap until… "IT HURT MY FEELINGS…" Papyrus then looked like he was about to cry.

"i'm sorry pap. tell ya what. let's let the humans decide which is harder." Sans offered.

"WOWIE, SANS! THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! SO, HUMANS, WHICH IS IT? JUNIOR JUMBLE…" Papyrus had brightened up considerably.

Sans still had his smile almost plastered onto his face. "or crosswords?"

Frisk and I spoke at the same time. "Crosswords!" I exclaimed. However, Frisk called out, "Junior Jumble!" We looked at each other. We shouted our choices at each other once again. We both sighed.

"huh… guess it all depends on the person then, huh paps?" Sans seemed interested.

"I GUESS SO. WHILE JUNIOR JUMBLES ARE HARD FOR ME, CROSSWORDS ARE HARD FOR YOU. WOWIE! WHAT A GREAT DISCOVERY WE MADE!" Papyrus seemed proud of himself. "WELL, HUMANS, I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU UP AHEAD!" Papyrus dashed off, leaving us with Sans once again.

"hey, thank you guys. i know you probably didn't plan this, but thank you, felix, for agreeing with me, and thank you too, frisk, for agreeing with paps." Sans's smile seemed to radiate gratitude now. "i'll be taking my leave now. tibia honest, i'm getting pretty fatigued. patella the truth, i haven't been getting the greatest sleep." He turned around and started walking away.

"See ya around." I said. Frisk waved goodbye. "Hey, Sans." He turned back. "Just don't tell me a fibia if you can't get sleep!" Sans chuckled.

"good one, kid. i've taught you well." Sans resumed his walk away from us. I looked at Frisk, pointing at Sans, and the fact that he walked in the wrong direction. Frisk shrugged before walking after Papyrus. I followed her. After a few yards, however, we made it to a strange wooden box. Inside, there was a punching glove, and a copper blade. Frisk immediately put on the glove, which she dubbed a Tough Glove, and put the Toy Knife in the box. I followed suit, putting my Toy Sword in the box, and grabbing the blade. Immediately, I heard a voice again, like when I fought Toriel, "You obtained the Training Sword." I shook off the dread I felt, and Frisk and I started to venture onwards.

We come to a semi-open plain, where Papyrus and Sans were standing at the other end. Papyrus looked excited. "HUMANS! IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO FACE… THE ELECTRIC MAZE! HERE, YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND YOUR WAY THROUGH THIS INVISIBLE MAZE! AND EVERY TIME YOU HIT A WALL… YOU GET ZAPPED! NYEHEHEH! IT TRULY IS A GREAT PUZZLE!" I felt very skeptical about this… I didn't want to get shocked into next month, and I don't think Frisk did either. "OH! I ALMOST FORGOT!" He walked through the maze, trailing footprints behind him. "YOU NEED TO HOLD THIS." He placed a blue orb on my and Frisk's heads. We looked at each other, than traversed through the maze flawlessly. "GAH! YOU HJMANS ARE CRAFTY! I'M DOWN TO MY LAST TWO PUZZLES, BUT THEY ARE THE HARDEST YET! NYEHEHEHEH! HEH!" He dashed off.

Sans shrugged before following Papyrus. Frisk and I followed, having a little pun war between ourselves on the way. Eventually, Papyrus was standing in front of a machine, and Sans was off to the side, laying down. "NOW, SMALL HUMANS, COMES YOUR GREATEST CHALLENGE YET!" A computer station was in the snow. It was whirring and appeared to be making calculations. "IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET PAST THIS PUZZLE, I STILL HAVE ONE MORE IN STORE FOR YOU! ANYWAY, THIS PUZZLE STARTS… NOW!" He slammed a fist onto a button, and the computer starting flashing many colors.

That's chapter 5. The true one anyways.

Thanks for reading, and I'll try and get the next one out before next week is up.
