And here's the next update, so enjoy~!

Things barely got any better for the brothers as time passed. Papyrus tried looking for a job, but he wasn't able to find anything he liked. Meanwhile, Sans had stopped going to the lab ever since Gaster died. And while Papyrus has encouraged his brother to find a job, Sans wasn't very interested. Because of this, money became scarce, and it was getting harder to buy food.

It was night time, Papyrus heard a knock coming from the front door. He sat up and rubbed his eye sockets for a minute before leaving his room and walking through the living room. When he looked around, he saw that there was a note sitting in front of the door. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to read it, the text was too small for him to read. He walked back to his bedroom and started to shake his brother's shoulders. "Sans? Are you awake?"

"hm?" Sans slowly opened his eye sockets, it took him a moment for his pupils to light up. Papyrus handed him the note, he stared at it in confusion.

"I don't mean to bother you, but this note just showed up at our door," Papyrus said, rubbing his hands nervously. "Do you think you could read it for me?"

Sans let out a yawn as he turned on the lamp sitting on his night stand. "sure, hold on."

As Sans continued to read the note, he began to look more and more worried, like someone was about to punch his non-existent stomach. "pap...we're being evicted!"

"Oh..." Papyrus began to frown. "what does that mean?"

"it means we can't live here, no more!"

Papyrus stared at his brother in pure shock, googly eyes formed in his sockets. "YOU MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO KICK US OUT!?"

Sans nodded. "unless we have 9999g, we'll only have 24 hours to get outta here!"

"But where are we gonna live!?" Papyrus asked as he nervously clutched his head. "I mean, we're just a couple of teenagers, we can't survive out there on our own!"

"well, maybe we can live in waterfall," Sans suggested. Papyrus gave him an odd look. "But wouldn't be easier if we asked to live with someone else?"

"psh...who's gonna want to take us in?" Sans asked, bitterly. "besides...in waterfall, there's a lotta stuff that fell from the surface, so i'm sure we can live off of that!"

"But what about school?"

"forget about school," Sans argued. "now c'mon...are you with me or not?"

Papyrus frowned, he wasn't sure if this was a good idea. It was especially hard to hear this from Sans of all people, the same monster who wanted to be the Royal Scientist since childhood. But in a way, he was right. Nobody was going to take them in...except maybe Asgore, but Papyrus would end up feeling bad for mooching off the King. With that being said, Papyrus shook his brother's hand. "All right, I just hope you know what you're doing."

"great," Sans said as he crawled out of bed. "let's get packing, then."

"I'm right behind you," Papyrus replied, hoping that he wouldn't regret his decision.

The entire day was spent packing up to live in Waterfall. The furniture was too big for them to carry, and the only money that Papyrus and Sans had altogether was 50g. Papyrus made sure to pack up plenty of clothes while Sans made sure to stock up on whatever food they had (though most of the food were snack foods, like pretzels and popato chisps). Both of them made sure to carry at least a couple blankets with them, as well as a few puzzles and books to keep them entertained while they lived there.

Sans was waiting at the door, tapping his foot impatiently. "c'mon, hurry up!"

"I'M GOING! I'M GOING!"

Papyrus raced out of his room, wrapping his long red scarf around his neck, he was carrying his backpack in his hand. "You need to have some clothes too, you know!"

"whatever, mom," Sans said as he rolled his eyes. He grabbed onto Papyrus' hand and started heading out the door. The younger skeleton looked down at his brother with worry. "Are you absolutely sure we'll be all right in Waterfall? It CAN be dangerous, you know."

"i know it can," Sans replied, "so just stick with me and you'll be fine!"

Papyrus nodded, feeling slightly better. He looked back at their old apartment, hoping that living in Waterfall would be worth it, somehow.

Once the skeletons left New Home, they found themselves taking the elevator in Hotland. Papyrus looked around, keeping a hand in his pocket. He began to hum softly as the elevator continued to move upwards.

Suddenly, Papyrus felt his brother laying against him, he looked nauseated. The younger twin smiled sympathetically as he rubbed his brother's skull. "Let me guess, is it motion sickness?"

Sans nodded, as it looked like he could fall over any minute, now. Papyrus groaned as he picked Sans off the ground. "Honestly, we should've gotten you some medicine before we left."

"well it's not like we're coming back here, anyways, so what's the point?"

"I guess that's true," Papyrus replied. "Maybe you should just focus on one of the buttons, see if that helps."

Sans did as he was told and stared at one of the elevator buttons. Fortunately (or unfortunately), he fell asleep before the elevator stopped. Papyrus let out a sigh before he stepped out of the elevator. "Let's go, lazy bones!"

He started heading west. He knew there was another elevator nearby, one that could make their trip to Hotland much quicker. And since Sans was asleep, he wouldn't have to worry about getting sick so easily. But as soon as Papyrus walked up the elevator, he saw two monsters wearing blue suits were trying to fix it. It had a sign on the front that said "OUT OF ORDER".

"Sorry, kid," Said one of the monsters, "You'll have to use the other one!"

Papyrus huffed in annoyance, he made his way to the eastern part of Hotland where most of the spiders were known to live. He walked quietly through the spiders' nest, which had a lot of webbing below the ground. There were also plenty of cobwebs sitting along the ceiling. Looking around, it seemed like the spiders were busy with the bake sale, today.

Once Papyrus left the Spiders' Nest, he was greeted with an unpleasant sight. There were vents sitting on top of different platforms, which helped cool down the Core by releasing steam. Unfortunately, it was the only way to get to the elevator.

Summoning his blue magic, Papyrus released Sans and allowed him to float in the air. He knew if he carried Sans while hopping over the platforms, they could both end up falling down into the lava below them. He stepped back a bit, he felt sweat form on top of his skull. Summoning his courage, he managed to jump to the second platform, and then the third platform, then the fourth, and then the fifth. And of course, while jumping, Papyrus made sure that Sans was floating right behind him. As he made it to the other side, he snapped his fingers to let Sans go, allowing him to drop back into Papyrus' arms. Not surprisingly, he was still asleep. Not even an earthquake couldn't wake him up.

Papyrus continued to walk forward until he came across the bake sale. There, he saw two spider monsters standing behind the counter. One of them was a child, wearing a frilly striped dress. The other one was wearing a long pink dress, she was holding an umbrella in one of her hands.

"Hello, dearie," the older spider greeted, "Would you like to buy a spider donut? All profits go to real spiders!"

"Oh, um..." Papyrus shifted nervously, "I-I really shouldn't-"

"So you're not going to by anything?" Asked the younger spider in disappointment. The older spider placed a hand on her shoulder. "Please be patient, Muffet. Let the young man decide for himself!"

Papyrus looked down at the sign sitting on the counter, eyes widened as he saw how expensive the donuts were. Spider Donuts back in New Home costed 7g per donut. However, the donuts here costed almost as much as their apartment did.

"I'm sorry, I can't buy anything," Papyrus said as he used his free hand to grab 25g and place it onto the counter. "But I''ll still donate half of my money if it'll help the spiders."

"Of course," The spider said warmly, "every little bit counts!"

Papyrus bid farewell to the two spiders and started heading over to the elevator. He wasn't very good when it came to handling money, so he hoped that Sans wouldn't think too badly of it.

As Papyrus finally made his way to the southern region of Hotland. he was able to walk past his father's lab...or rather, it USED to be his father's. He heard rumors that Asgore was trying to pick the next royal scientist, so whoever it is, Papyrus could only wish them luck on their new job.

He walked further south, where the river was supposed to be. Unfortunately, Mono didn't seem to be around. Perhaps they were having lunch? Or maybe they were taking a nap? He had to admit, Mono was a bit of an odd skeleton.

Speaking of which, Papyrus felt Sans shift in his arms. The smaller skeleton opened his eye sockets, he looked over at the river. "oh hey, what happened to the river person?"

"I don't know," Papyrus said as he placed Sans down. "But what do you think we should do, now?"

"well, we can just cross the bridge since it ain't that far from here," Sans said as he grabbed Papyrus' hand.

"All right, then," Papyrus replied. "How long do you think we'll be able to walk, anyway."

"hopefully not long," Sans replied, "though it might take an entire day at the most."

"All right, I was just curious."

Papyrus frowned. He just hoped that Sans can find a good enough home to live in.

Well...Waterfall IS pretty, so I probably wouldn't mind living there, myself.

And just a heads up, it looks like my next chapter might be a long one (then again, they usually are pretty long! XP )
