Chapter 1. The Dream

"Now Sans~ repeat to me what you'r duty is today." The taller skeleton ordered as he watches his older brother who was sitting behind a hot dog stand.

"Uh~ I dunno Paps. Sleep?"

"Sans!"

"What?"

"Were you even listening to me?"

"Of course I was Papy."

"Then what did I say?"

"Dunno I wasn't listening." Sans replied with a lazy shrug.

"Nyeh~!" Papy screams as he grabs Sans's blue jacket by the collar he then lets out a soft sigh of defeat and gently sets the shorter skeleton back down gently. While letting go of the hoodie slowly.

"I said while I go talk to Undyne about our plan. You stay here and keep a eye out for humans. Can you do that Sans?"

"Sure no prob bro." Sans replied with a small wink towards his younger brother.

"Good now then I'm heading to Undyne's and please brother I beg of you don't fall asleep." Papyrus added as he begins to walk off.

Once Papyrus was out of sight the shorter skeleton lets out a tired sigh as he leans his chin against his bony palm.

"Humans huh? Sorry to burst your soul bubble Paps but there hasn't been a humans here since the kid. But of course you don't remember about the kiddo do ya bro good thing to since she killed ya and in all of the resets." The blue hoodie skeleton mumbles under his breath.

Unlike the other monsters in Underworld Sans was cursed to remember each reset by his dreams.

Sure it took time but he still remembered all of those horrible things. Papyrus deaths , and him having to kill Frisk over and over again some times it was to much for the comedic skeleton.

Sans lets out a yawn as he begins to slowly closes his eyes while drifting off to sleep.

"...Hey wake up pal." A calm deep voice mutters from in front of him.

The blue hoodie skeleton slowly opens his eye sockets and begins to look around. Finding that he was in a black area that was covered with fog.

"Where the hell am I?"

"Hey now watch you language there's a kiddo here. But the answer you'r question I guess is that in a way we're in your dream or should I say our dream." The deep voice chuckles.

Sans slowly looks towards the voice finding a blue hoodie skeleton who looks just like him standing there. The only difference was the red gash across his chest with a jeweled red heart that was hanging around his neck on a black string.

Next to him holding on to his bony hand tightly was a girl who looked exactly like Frisk.

"Heh don't you know how to greet yourself?"

"...What?."

"Yup I'm you well from another timeline at least."

"...Another timeline huh? Alright then prove it." Sans added as he stood up from the ground and begins to dust himself off.

"Hm~ Lets see...Aw I got one. Why did the skeleton need a friend?"

"Because he was feeling Bonely." Both short skeletons with said in sync as they burst out into laughter.

"Aren't we just a fun bag of bones?"

"Heh yeah. So um~ what with kiddo over there? the blue hoodie skeleton asked as he pointed his bony finger towards the tiny girl.

Causing Frisk to slowly hide further behind the other Sans.

"Yeah~ about that the kid killing everyone in every reset ...isn't Frisk." the other blue hoodie skeleton added while rubbing the back of his skull.

" Wait what?"

" Welp it turns out that a dark spirit name Chara had possessed the kid when she fell into the hole. Since then Frisk was locked away in her own body forced to watch all of her friends being murdered by the brat." the other Sans finished with a low growl.

"So~ that wasn't Frisk?"

"Yup ."

"Huh. So I'm guessing I can stop this ? "

"You and someone else."

"Wait someone else?"

"And~ this is where you come in Frisky." the other Sans snickers as he gently pushes the tiny brown hair girl in between him and Sans.

"U-um..." Frisk pauses as she begins to slightly shaking as she looks towards the ground while fiddling with her fingers.

The blue hoodie skeleton let's out a sigh as he kneels in front of Frisk on his one knee.

"Look buddy I'm not mad at you okay? It's that little brat who took over your body. So please tell me how to help you. So I can free you. Alright?" he asked with a small wink.

The tiny girl gives him a small nervous nod before continuing with her answer.

"M-my older sister Laney is the one who your suppose to work with."

"Sister?"

"Yeah you and Laney saved me from Chara's grasp."

"We did . Did we? So um where is she at now?" Sans asked while looking down towards Frisk who was now trembling once again .

The tiny girl slowly looks towards the ground as tears begin to fill her soft brown eyes.

"...Kid?"

"...I think this is where I should take over." The other Sans interrupted as he places his bony hand gently on the top of Frisk's head.

"I got it from here Frisky you go ahead and sit next to Sans over there." he added while gesturing towards the blue hoodie skeleton who was now sitting on the ground with his arms wide open for the tiny girl.

Frisk let's out a small sniffle as she runs towards Sans and sits in his lap as he wraps his blue hoodie around her tiny body.

"Okay now where to begin."

"Maybe from the beginning?"

"Alright it started on a nice day outside as usual I went to Toriel's to tell some knock knock jokes. After about thirty minuets of laughing at each others jokes. It started to become serious. Tori asked me to watch over the two humans for her."

"Wait two?"

"Yeah it turns out the kiddo's best friend Sally had fallen into the hole with her so Tor took them in for over a month. She added about how she taught the girls magic so they wouldn't age like us monsters in Underworld. Since magic basically make you almost immortal and all. Just listening to her question and explaining about the two girls formed a knot in my stomach. I thought that if I said yes that the whole incident with Frisk would repeat it self all over again. Only this time it would be these two girls killing everyone instead of Frisk. But... sadly I couldn't say no to Tor." he added while closing his eyes.

"The first one I was introduce to was Sally she seemed like a good kid but there was some thing in her eyes that made me feel uneasy. Next was Laney damn once I saw her soft blue eyes for reason my nerves and doubts about them went to ease. We said our goodbyes to Tor and I took the two girls home to a very happy Papyrus. A few years had passed by and Laney and I became close friends it was the same for Paps and Sal. The day it all went down hill from there was Laney's birthday. So I gave her this for her birthday present." Sans continued as he holds up the red jeweled heart necklace that was around his neck in front of him.

"It's a necklace I made for her I added some of my magic in it to protect her. But apparently it had another special ability that I didn't know of till later that day."

"What happen later that day?"

"...Chara attacked in Frisk's body I was so tired and worn out from trying to attack her . Chara almost had me but some thing amazing happened . I suddenly felt a burst of energy and magic flow threw me. As I look towards Laney I found her pendent glowing that was when I realized that hers and my soul had bonded together. It seems that Laney also knew because of the knowing smile she gave me. That's was when we attack together with our souls bonded our attacks were so much more stronger then usual. Chara's soul finally left Frisk's badly injured body we won the fight . But we also lost Paps during it Lanes and I took Frisk to Laney's bedroom so that she can heal the kiddo. Little did we know that Chara had possessed some one else that we loved dearly." The other Sans mutters while rubbing that back of his neck.

" Later that night Lanes and I got into a real bad argument. ..."

"About?"

"That I can't tell you... the only thing I can say is that I said things that I regret and took her necklace I watch as the kiddo ran out of my room in tears... that's when Frisk came to talk to me ... after a few hours of her sisterly advice I went to ask for Lanes to forgive me only to find my best pal badly injured on the floor of her bedroom. By the certain person who was possessed by Chara the messed up thing was unlike Frisk they weren't fully possessed. As the person started to let out a laugh I started seeing red. I mean Lanesters was the only person I know who was as special as Paps was to me. So I attack only to end up on the floor slowly dying. The person was about to finish me off but Frisk jumped in the way ending up knocked out on the floor next to me while bleeding heavily . The person raised their weapon towards but Laney fired one of her magic arrows at the person which went threw their hand that was holding the knife. The possessed person dropped the knife in pain and was forced to retreat after being badly wounded . As I watch her from the ground that I was laying on I notices that she was looking weaker by every second. That was when I realized not only was she dying but she used up all the magic that was keeping her alive. I got even more worried when she had the reset button appear before her."

"Whoa slow down here she can reset?"

"..Yep and Sally can load just like Frisk only difference between her and the girls... is that Frisk has both."

"So why did it worried you?"

"I'm getting there buddy. Remember when I said the magic that was keeping her alive was almost gone?."

"Yeah."

"...Yeah that's why the reset button worried me I didn't want to lose my best bud. Not after we had a bad argument not ever. I let out a sigh of relief when the button faded away before she can pressed it. But she gave a small sad smile I knew that smile...she was gonna sacrifice herself. Laney don't I begged her but it was to late. With the last of her magic and life energy she healed both Frisk and I before sending us here where Chara couldn't find us and finish her job ."

"...And Laney?"

"...Frisk and I search everywhere for her... but.."

"...I'm sorry."

"Look pal I just brought you here to ask you to protect the Laney in your time line."

"..."

" Yeah yeah I know we ain't good at promises. But I can tell you that you won't regret this."

" Alright I can't say no to such a handsome skeleton. Now can I?" Sans replied with a small wink.

The other blue hoodie skeleton let's out a snicker.

"Heh. Thanks buddy welp see you in the mirror or if you need me in our dreams. Just you know give me a call our Cell Bone before you visit." The other Sans finished with a snap of his fingers.

"Nyeh~?!"

The sound of the angered scream of his younger brother caused Sans to snap open his eyes.

"Oh hey Paps morning."

"You were suppose to stay awake Sans."

"Yeah sorry about that bro."

"Aw~ now I won't ever be part of the Royal guards." Papyrus whined with a sadden look on his pale bone face.

"Hey don't say that look I'll go walk around and maybe I'll find a human or two." Sans added while walking out from behind the hot dog stand.

"y-you sure about that?"

"Hey do I ever let you down on times like this?"

"N-no" Papyrus answered with a quiet sniffle as he watches as his older brother begin to walk away.

"I'll be back by dinner."

"Alright but be careful and don't fall asleep!"

"You got it Paps!" Sans replied with a wave as he walks further towards the direction of the old ruins where Toriel lives.

Once Sans was out of sight of Papyrus he slowly pulls out the necklace from his pocket and holds the red heart necklace in the air in front of him.

"... A soul bond huh? Heh... Welp kiddo it seems like you and I have one hell of a adventure waiting for us." he chuckles while placing the necklace back into his pocket.
