Chapter 5: Meeting the Skeleton duo

(Lucy P.O.V)

The blackness started to dimmer, and I could feel a cold feeling go through my body. I felt the grip in my hand tighten, I opened my eyes and saw snow. Snow in all directions and forest as far as eyes can see. I looked down at my hand, and saw Lucas's hand intertwine in mine. I looked up at him, and saw a big smile on his face.

"We are really here" He said as he turned his face around, looking at the forest, then back at me. He let go of my hand, and walked over to a snow-pile, that was standing just beside the door. "Sis, come here for a sec and look." I nodded and walked over to him and looked at the pile. It was just snow, so I couldn't really see what he was trying to make me see. I tilted my head in confusion towards him, he turned his head towards me and just laughed. "Look closer in the pile." I nodded again and moved my head closer to the pile, and saw a small hole in the middle of it. I lifted my hand up and moved some of the snow covering it away and saw a tiny sized camera. I widened my eyes and leaned away from it.

"W-what?! Big bro! How you know?!" I asked him as he turned around and started to walk down the path. "How did you know?! Wait!" I ran up to him and grabbed his hand, walking the path with him.

"Call it a hunch, just got the feeling we were being watched" He said and took a hold of my hand. "Oh well, let's just keep walking" I nodded and started to walk down the path with him. With the snow falling down and the small chilly breeze, it made me feel a bit cold. I should have gotten some other clothes then this grey skirt and white and red t-shirt that I was wearing now. Even with the arm sleeves under the shirt, it still felt like the wind just went right through it, and that made me shiver. I let go of his hand, and rubbed my hands together, trying to get some warmth at least in my hands. I couldn't let it be, so I walked slower and tried to get some warmth back in my body.

"You okay Lucy? You seem a bit cold" He asked me as he looked at me, tilting his head in confusion. He moved his hand up to my head, and ruffled it. I could see small snow dust fall in front of my face, meaning that I had gathered some snow on me.

"Y-yeah…it's just…i-it's a bit cold here" I said as I shivered again, and let out a small sneeze. Wow I got a bit sick just from a few minutes out in this cold. I sighed and was about to keep going when I felt his hand grabbed my shoulder. I turned towards him.

"Here, you can use this." He said as he removed his hand, and moved it over to his jacket. He opened it, pulled it off and put it over my shoulders. I grabbed the edge of it, and moved my hands in it, putting it on, feeling a bit better now. I looked at him and could see the sweater he was wearing more clearly now. It really suited him, and it's really good that he's wearing a sweater, helping him feeling better. "That will keep you warm and well" I giggled and nodded, holding the jacket closer to my body.

"Thank you big bro!" I said, as I leaned closer and hugged him. I could hear him laugh and hug me back. I smiled and let go of the hug and grabbed his hand. "Come on, let's go!" He nodded and took a tighter grip around my hand. I let out a small laugh and we started to walk down the path again. Just looking around, and all I could see was more snow and trees everywhere. It wasn't really anything else to look at, just snow and trees everywhere. It had like a calm aura around it, it was nice, relaxing. It was never this calm at home, and that I really wished. Our parents were always away, and when they came back, they were either tired, or they were mad at something and blamed me and my brother for it. It never went too bad, but we would get hit by them every now and then, and it always made me feel miserable. Then Lucas was there for me, helping me when and if I got wounds, and made me feel better. He always told me to ignore what our parents told us, that we always need to see things in a better light. And to not let anyone push us down. I shook my head, not wanting to think more of it and focused on the path. I could see lying down at the path was a very thick branch. I tilted my head, and tighten my grip around Lucas's hand.

"Is that what I t-think It is?" I asked him as I looked at him. He looked down at me, a small smile appearing as he nodded.

"Yeah, it is. Come on, let's keep going" He said as he kept walking past the branch, dragging me with him. I stepped over it as well, not wanting to make a sound, alerting others nearby. I walked a bit further away before hearing a snapping sound behind us. I quickly turned around, and saw that the branch was snapped in half. I looked around, but saw no one around us. I turned back to Lucas and saw him with a weak smile. "This is interesting." He laughed and kept walking away from it. I looked closer at it, before turning my head towards the path and walking down it again.

"W-what was that Big bro?!" I asked him, grabbing his hand. He just took my hand and stayed quiet. I kept looking around, trying to see if I saw someone else around, but no one appeared. That started to scare me, because I was sure someone else was here with us, because none of us did it. I tighten the grip around his hand, starting to shake a bit from that thought. He turned his head towards me and smiled.

"Don't worry little sis, everything will be fine." He said as he looked back and towards what looked to be a gate in the distance. It had four poles standing up, with another one lying on top, but the distances were too big to stop anyone. I let out a small laugh, seeing it. Someone was defiantly trying to stop us, but was not doing a good job with it. I walked up to Lucas and looked at the gate, then at him.

"W-why did you st- "I couldn't finish my sentence before I heard footsteps coming from behind us. I wanted to move, but I failed to scared to do it, not knowing who or what it was. The footsteps started to get slower and then it suddenly stopped.

"Humans…Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand" The person said to us, sending shivers down my back. I moved my head slightly towards Lucas, being confused as hell. He just turned his head towards me and gave me a small nod. I nodded back, and started to turn around. D-don't kill us please I thought while turning around, not knowing fully about this place yet. When I turned around, I saw a short skeleton, wearing a Blue jacket, black shorts and slippers. He stretched out his hand towards me, and I slowly moved my own and shook his hand. As I grabbed his hand, a loud fart noise coming around us. I stood there, not sure how to react. I could hear my brother staring to laugh behind me, probably out from my reaction. I started to smile as well, letting a small laughter escape my mouth.

"Heh, the old Whoopee cushion in the hand trick. It's ALWAYS funny" He said as he let go of my hand, and puts his own in his pocket. "Anyway, you are humans right? The name is sans, Sans the skeleton." He smiled and stretched out his other arm. "No tricks this time" I looked closer at his hand, and couldn't really see anything, so I shook his hand again, nothing happening when I did.

"Nice to meet you Sans, I'm Lucy!" I said, letting out a small giggle. So now I at least understood who it was making the sounds behind us. I let go of his hand, and saw him stretch his hand out towards big brother.

"And I'm Lucas, nice to meet ya!" Lucas said as he grabbed his hand and shook it. "So what you doing all out here sans?" I looked between them and for a second, I thought I saw a blue light come out from sans left eye. I blinked, and the light in his eye wasn't there anymore. W-what…w-was that? I thought as I continued to look at them. Lucas seemed to be nervous about something, then I remember what happened before we got here. I guess that is what made him nervous, and that was something I have never seen him as. He was never nervous from what I have seen.

"Oh right, I was supposed to be on watch for humans actually." Sans said to us. "But…you know? I don't really care much about capturing anyone" I sighed, partly happy hearing it.

"S-so we are n-not going to get captured then?" I asked him, grabbing Lucas' hand again, feeling a bit safer having him around. He just let go of my hand, and puts his arm around me, pulling me close to him.

"Nah, not by me at least. My brother Papyrus however, he would love to capture humans. Hey, I think that's him over there" He said as he pointed behind us. I turned around, and tried to look after someone else. And in the distance I could see someone coming closer, but he seemed to be too far away to see how he were looking like. "Just go right through here and hide. He made the bars too wide to stop anyone."

"Y-yeah, w-we did see that" I said to him as I basically just walked right between the bars, passing it really easy. I giggled, thinking how silly this gate sans' brother made was. "Come on big bro! Let's play!" I started to run and find somewhere to hide.

"Hey sis! Wait up!" He said behind me, and started to run after me. I looked around quickly, looking for any places I could hide really fast. In front of me was a tall shaped lamp, some small snow puffs and what seemed to be some kind of a station. The lamp seemed different from what I could remember Lucas telling me it looked like. He said that it kind of looked like the fallen human Frisk, as it was called the "convenient shaped lamp", but now it just looked like a normal lamp. So I can't hide behind that one, aww that sucks. I thought to myself as I ran up to the station and hid under the counter. Looking around, I could see what seemed to be ketchup, mustard and relish, just standing there on a shelf. Seems like someone really likes those things. I let out a quiet laugh, crouched down and crawled under it. I curled up, making sure my entire body was being hidden and not sticking out, so I sat there and waited. Small crunchy steps could be heard right beside, so I stayed quiet and listened to what was being said.

"So, where did that kid go?" Sans said, I could hear it was his voice.

"She is probably hiding somewhere, she always wanted things to seem like a game, like the little sis she is" Lucas said, making me smile a bit. "Though…where can I hide? That lamp or that station doesn't seem like a good place to hide" I tilted my head up, and looked around, wanting to help him find a place to hide.

"You can always hide in the woods right behind my station, my brother speaks so loud either way, so you can hear us well." Sans said, and I assumed he pointed towards the forest behind the station. I looked in the direction towards the forest and saw some really big sized trees, an easy place to hide. Why did I not think of that? So silly of me. I thought as I could hear footsteps passing me.

"Thank you Sans, I'll hide there before your brother comes." He said and ran up to the forest. I pulled myself closer to the back of the station, wanting him to not find me just yet, this was just fun. I kept my eyes at him and could him hide right behind two oversized tree and moved his head over one, looking around the corner. I giggled a bit, just seeing him like that was so silly, seems like he really wanted to see this all happen and I couldn't blame him. This was really exciting, for the both of us, like an entire new story for our lives. I looked back at his face and could see another small smile appearing again. Ever since we came here, he has been smiling a bit more then he usually did. Back home, he wasn't smiling that much. The times I could see him smiling, was when he was listening to music, reading a book or talking to me. He used to also smile when he was with his best friend. She was someone he used to hang out with or be around a lot, but lately he hasn't. Every time I tried to ask him about it, he just changed it or didn't talk to me at all. I felt like something was up, but I just never really found it out. The only thing I could understand, while looking at him back then, was that it brought memories back. He always acted a bit sadder when I did ask him. Something was up, and I have to ask him. I slowly crept out from the station, and then I heard footsteps, seemingly running towards us.

"Sup, Bro?" Sans said, a small chuckle coming from his voice. I slowly leaned my head over the edge, and saw a really tall skeleton in orange clothes and what looked to be armor of some sort. He had an orange cape around his neck, almost like he was a superhero or something.

"YOU KNOW WHAT *SUP* BROTHER!" The brother said, had a feeling that would be Papyrus. "IT'S BEEN EIGHT DAYS AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T RECALLIBRATED YOUR PUZZLES. YOU JUST HANG AROUND YOUR STATION. WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING!?" I had to cover my ears for a second, not only did he talk fast, he also was really loud in his voice, it was weird and funny to listen to. I moved my head to the edge of the station and peeked over the corner, watching them talk.

"Hey, I got a ton of work done today, a skele-Ton" Sans said as he turned towards the forest, lifted his hands up and gave a wink. I covered my mouth and hold back the laugh trying to escape my mouth. It was such a silly joke, and yet it was still funny for me. I heard soft muffled noises behind me, and then it suddenly went quiet. I just stood still and kept watching the two brothers discuss. I could see on papyrus' face, that he was getting mad, but he had a small smile on his face. "Come on, you're smiling"

"I AM AND I HATE IT! WHY DOES SOMEONES AS GREAT AS ME, HAVE TO DO SO MUCH DO JUST GET SOME RECOGNITION…" Papyrus said, with what seemed to be a sad expression. From what I could tell, so didn't it seems he was really happy around here, and I felt sorry for him. I hope I can help him somehow; he seems like he needs it. I thought to myself as I slowly moved back towards the station.

"So this was where you were hiding little sis" Someone whispered behind me. I moved my hand away from my mouth and turned my head, seeing Lucas having his head right beside me and smile. "You always saw things as a game." I nodded my head and turned my entire body towards him. Him hiding under a tree didn't seem like the smartest idea. His dark hair was now covered with small snowflakes and small snow piles was gathered on his shoulders. I moved my hand forward a bit and brushed of the snow on his shoulders. Looking at him, I could see his smile was still there, but was slowly fading away back to his neutral expression. I moved back after whipping the snow of and smiled.

"Hehe, that I do big bro" I whispered back to him. "That's all the fun. Always have fun as you told me before" He let out a quiet laugh and patted my head, making me giggles. We might be just a couple of years between, but he treated me like I was much younger. It was nice seeing how much he cared, just wish he soon would understand I could take care of myself. "Seems you found out where I was hiding."

"Yeah, could see you pretty well from where I was standing, just had to find a moment to sneak behind you" He said as he crouched lower down beside me, and looked at me. "So what do you think of them? The brothers." I quickly turned my head back at towards Sans and Papyrus, and saw them two still talking. I could see that Sans was laughing, and Papyrus seemed to be annoyed, maybe be the thing Sans was laughing about. He turned around and ran away from us, shouting something like "Nyeh heh heh" or something. It was funny that was for sure. I had to let out a small laughter, because of how they two were acting. Lucas grabbed my shoulder and slowly started to get up.

"You two can get out now, he's gone" Sans said as he walked closer to us. I stood up as well, he standing by the station watching us and we walked up beside him. "So what you think of my brother?" I smiled and let out a small laugh.

"He's Super cool! And really funny!" I shouted, having a small giggle escape my lips when I was done. "He is a little bit loud though, but that's okay!"

"And look who's talking. You are being a bit loud as well now Lucy, we don't want him to find you yet now, will we?" Lucas asked me. "Remember, we are going to see him soon, if I'm not wrong, aren't we Sans?"

"Yeah, so you better be going before he comes back, if not…you'll have to stay here and hear more of my hilarious jokes" Sans said as he turned around and started to walk back to where we met him. But before he got to the path, he stopped, turned around and looked at us. He seemed to stare at big bro more than me. W-what is…I thought, but couldn't finish it. I looked closely at sans, and I could see a small shine of blue light in his eye.

"Hey, my brother would really like to see a human." Sans said as he looked at him more. "So you know, it would really help me out…" I looked at him again, and felt small shivers go up my back, seeing his pupils suddenly disappear. "If you kept pretending to be one" He then walked off the way he came. I blinked and he was gone. I looked back up at Lucas, and could see a shocked expression on his face.

"H-how? W-what…he knows" He said softly, just barely for me to pick up. "No…it can't be" I grabbed his hand and pulled it softly.

"B-big bro? W-What was that? What did he mean?" I asked him, feeling shivers going up my back. Just seeing Sans like that really scared me. Whatever big bro did, seemed to make him mad. "W-what is he talking about?" He just took his arms around me and lifted me up, putting me on his back. I smiled weakly and put my hands around his neck, resting my head on his back. I could feel his hands holding my legs, probably making sure I wouldn't fall down on the ground.

"Nothing you will need to worry about little sis…it will go fine." He said as we started to walk down the path, the distance between us and the ruins increasing.

So yeah, there you guys have it. The meeting with Sans and the build up is tensing up. Hope you guys are as excited as i am for the next Chapter. Also, now that reviews are coming, i'm deciding to answer to those.
