Chapter 5. A Promise to Find You

It was her first reset and Laney hated it . Toriel had no memories of her and Frisk and as a bonus to it she has to wait for a while to meet Sans again the poor pigtail girl could only cross her fingers in hope that her skeleton love would still remember and find her.

On the upside to it all they finally got their goat mother and King Asgore back together again.

Making the two girl's now the Princess's of monsters with Undyne as their body guard and protector. Even though she was wishing it to be a certain skeleton to be her knight and hoodie armor.

Laney lets out a shaky sigh as Frisk slowly braids one half of her long brown hair into a pigtail.

"What's wrong big sis? You've been sighing like that almost all morning." the tiny girl added as she begins to braid the other side of her older sister's hair.

"It's nothing it's just..."

"You wish that Sans was here?" Frisk said with a small giggle only to earn a small annoyed glare from the now pigtail princess.

"Laney you know Sans is probably still trying to remember. I mean when I did the resets to try to fix what Chara has done. Some times it took him awhile to remember me and...Chara." Frisk finished with a sad tone in her voice while tying the ribbons into her older sister's pigtails.

Laney gives a small sad smile towards the tiny princess as she pats the spot on the bed next her.

Frisk slowly nods as she crawls up and sits on the spot that her older sister was patting on.

"Now you listen here Ms. Frisky Frisk Sans and I both know that it wasn't your fault."

"But."

"No buts about it besides we should be focusing on the good things happening this timeline. Like how we're princess's."

"Oh come on sissy you know the only reason you help mommy with daddy was because you wanted to make it harder for Sans to get to you for some revenge from that fight last timeline."

"Hey come on now I mean yeah I did forgive him but he deserves a little bit of a punishment." the older princess mumbles while gently biting her bottom lip.

Frisk couldn't help but giggle towards the soft blush that was spreading across her older sister's cheek. It has been a while since she saw Laney like this the tiny girl couldn't help but feel a little more joy in her heart.

"So~ Friskys"

"Yes~?"

"Excited about moving to the castle."

"...Not really it has a bad past."

"Yeah I know momster told me about it but it's slowly changing aka Asgore becoming our goat dad." Laney added with a small wink earning a snort from her younger sister.

"Goat dad really?"

"Gotta say being part of a Goat family isn't so Baaaaaad"

"Yup you and Sans have been hanging out to much last timeline." Frisk finished as she hits her older sister with a pillow from their bed.

"That's it pillow fight you and I bring it Frisky." Laney said as she lift her pillow to hit the younger princess but was interrupted as a loud explosion sound filled the hall's.

"What was~?"

"Princess's !" Undyne shouted as she burst into their room finding a now worried Laney and Frisk staring back towards her.

"Undyne what's wrong?"

"We have a problem punk it turns out you moving to the castle is gonna be sooner then plan." the tall fish women answers as she picks up both Laney's and Frisk's bags.

"Where's mommy?" Frisk asked as she gently tugs on Undyne's hand who just stares down towards her with sadden yellow eye that wasn't covered.

"...Undyne where's mom?"

"...Laney a strange flower monster is attacking here right now Queen Toriel is distracting them and she asked me to get you two to your father." Undyne replied as she looks towards the older princess.

Laney wanted to argue back but stopped herself as she finds Undyne was now giving her the look.

As much as she hated to admit it Undyne was like a older sister to her so she knew the look Undyne was giving which was the don't you dare try to fucking argue with me right now look.

"... Alright fine." the small princess murmurs with a sigh of defeat as she slowly closes her soft blue eyes.

"Good now we have to. What the ~?!" before the fish women could finish a thorn vine wraps around her and begins to drag her out of the room.

"Undyne!" Frisk cried as she grabs onto the fish women's web hands a tries to pull her back while also being dragged.

"Don't you fucking dare you annoying weed!" Laney hissed as a pearl white solid bow with a soft pink glowing arrow forms in her hand with her magic.

The pigtail girl quickly aims the bow at the root that was dragging both Undyne and Frisk out of the room and lets go of the string.

Causing the pink glowing arrow to shoot straight threw the thick vine which ripped it in half earning a loud screeched of pain from the yellow flower monster as both Frisk and Undyne falls on to the ground.

After watching the vine slowly slide out of the room Laney quickly rushes over towards the two and helps them off the floor.

" Good job punk it looks like I trained you well."

"Yeah well don't get to big headed about it." The pigtail princess added with a wink earning a annoyed eye roll from Undyne.

"We better get going before that thing tries to attack again. Follow behind me closely." The fish women ordered as she leaves the room with Frisk and Laney following closely behind her.

"S..Sa...Sans please find me soon please I need you'r hel~"

"Brother wake up we're going to be late!~" the soft voice in the short skeleton's dream was interrupted by the sound of his younger brother yelling from the other side of his bedroom door.

"Oh come on Paps five more minuets bro." Sans groans as he throws the blanket over his skull.

He wanted to know who's voice that was in his dream. And why was it so familiar to him?

"Nyeh~! Brother please it's my ceremony!" Papyrus whined from the other side of the door.

"Sorry bro I forgot give me a few and we can get goin." the short skeleton replies as he slowly slides out of his bed.

Sans couldn't help himself as his permanent grin started to grow a little wider while waking towards his closet.

This timeline has been amazing there are now two new human princess's in Underground who he heard were very kind. And as for their king well he started raising them after Queen Toriel was murder in the ruins. Now there was a law that if a human child had fallen in the Underground they must be kept safe. Which meant there will be no more innocent human blood to be spread.

Sans then heard that Frisk was the youngest of the human princess's at first he thought she was the one who killed Toriel. But was proven wrong after hearing Undyne's side of the story of how it was that fucking annoying flower and how the oldest's of the two sisters injured him by using her magic that she and Toriel and taught the older sister.

The oldest princess was name Laney... Why did he feel like he had heard that name before. He remember some of last timeline but something in his mind was telling him that he had forgotten a very important piece he just couldn't put his bony finger on it . Was Laney a part of that piece of the puzzle?

"...Laney." The name was smooth on his blue tongue .

Princess Laney was the one who had asked her father King Asgore to give Papyrus a chance as a royal guard. By what the tall skeleton had told his older brother was that the king was going to object.

But the older princess had given him a offer that he couldn't refuse. She advice to give Papyrus the duty of being her sister's body guard and see how it goes from there.

So King Asgore agreed to the offer which was the reason that Papyrus had a ceremony today.

Sans slowly closes his eyes as he slips on his usual blue hoodie maybe he should thank her for helping his younger brother's dreams to come true.

"Sans~!"

"Coming bro!" Sans shouted as he glances at the small red heart necklace that was laying on top of his dresser. He didn't know why but the blue hoodie skeleton felt like he should bring it with him for some odd reason.

Quickly grabbing the necklace from it's spot Sans rushes out of his bedroom while shutting the door close behind him.

The blue hoodie skeleton lets out a yawn as he leans against the wall maybe Papyrus wouldn't notice that he was taking a quick nap. Since the taller skeleton was busy dancing with a certain robot on the ballroom floor.

The sound of a throat clearing from the throne that Asgore was sitting on caught Sans's attention .

"I will like to thank you from coming to Papyrus's celebration and now I will introduce you to the princess he will be protecting and the princess who volunteer him. Now my people meet you youngest princess my sweet little princess Frisk." Asgore announced as the goat man holds out his fury paws.

Frisk slowly walks out as her name was annouced once in front of her small throne she looks around the ball room and waves in excitement towards Sans only to earn a low chuckle from the short skeleton with a lazy wave. While he watches Papyrus walk up towards Frisk and stands behind her throne as the tiny Princess sits down.

" And finally I will like to introduce the one who had volunteer this kind and brave skeleton the oldest of my two girls my beautiful daughter Princess Laney." He finished with a warm smile.

As the pigtail princess slowly walks out with her eyes close as soon as she turns towards the other monsters she slowly open her eyes revealing their soft blue color Sans couldn't help but stare in the Princess's eyes.

Her eyes were what triggered the rest of his memories of the last timeline. Her amazing blue eyes the ones Sans had fallen for when he had first met her when Toriel had asked him to protect her and Sally.

"Heh, really milking the nickname I called you aren't ya lil Butterfly?" The blue hoodie skeleton snickers as he watches Laney calmly sits in her throne next to Frisk.

"Pst~" Laney heard from beside her she slowly turns her head finding her younger sister staring at her.

With a tiny motion of her pointer finger telling Laney to come closer the small pigtail princess slowly leans towards her younger sister. As Frisk leans forwards to whisper into her ear.

" Sans is here." Frisk whispers with a small giggle.

Laney quickly sits straight up in her throne and looks around the ballroom with her soft blue eyes that had finally landed on a certain blue hoodie skeleton who was still leaning against the wall with his permanent grin forming in to a small smirk once he notice that she was looking at him Sans gave Laney his usual lazy wink. And gesture to meet him some with a small movement of his skull.

A soft blush slowly forms on her cheeks as she quickly turns her head towards the tall skeleton who was standing behind them. And hands Papyrus a note to Sans that she had prepared before the celebration.

"Um Papy can you please give this to that skeleton over there?" she asked while pointing towards Sans.

"Princess you know my brother?!"

"Sh~ Paps we uh met at his hot dog stand when I snuck out that day." The small princess lies while lowering her voice so that Asgore couldn't hear.

"Oh~ of course human princess I will be back." the taller skeleton said as he quickly runs towards Sans with the note in his gloved hands.

"Sup bro?"

" A letter from your secret friend brother A wink!" Papyrus answered earning a raise brow bone from his older brother.

"Secrete friend huh?" The blue hoodie skeleton asked as he slowly takes the note from the tall skeleton's bony fingers and reads it.

( Sans meet me in the garden. Laney)

Sans quickly looks up finding the older princess giving him a sweet smile as she slowly rises from her throne and whispers in her father's ear probably to tell him that she was going to the gardens for fresh air. The monster king slowly nods his head as if giving her permission to go. Laney then gives him a quick kiss on his fury cheek before leaving the throne room.

"Hey uh~ Paps I'll be back in a few."

"That's okay brother I must keep a~"

" Eye Socket on the younger princess?"

" Sans~!" Papyrus yells as his older brother quickly teleports away with a chuckle.

Laney let's out a soft sigh as she sits on the marble bench while waiting for her skeleton friend the poor princess was nervous. She was hoping that Sans's feeling hasn't change for her at all on this timeline. Laney had missed him so much she was so scared with out him. The only thing was she didn't want to show her fear to Frisk the older sister felt that she had to be brave and strong in front of her younger sister. That was one of the bad habits the small princess had.

Laney suddenly snaps out of her thoughts once she felt some thing being gently clasped around her neck. As she looks down the small princess finds the red heart necklace that Sans had given her last timeline.

"Heya" a deep voice softly whispers in her ear.

Laney quickly looks towards the voice finding Sans walking around her to where he was now in front of her and kneels down on one of his bony knees.

"So uh how's my Butterfly doin'?" he asked with wink.

The small girl quickly pushes herself of the bench and lands into his bony arms causing them to both fall backwards on to the ground.

" Heh, I didn't except that to..ey' whoa whoa . Baby girl what's wrong?" he mutters while wiping away the tears that were now falling down Laney's cheek.

" I-I was so scared Flowey attacked ...you weren't there a-and mom is..."

"Sh~ it's okay sweet heart I'm here now I'm uh...damn I'm so sorry that it took me so long to remember." he whispers softly while pulling her into a hug.

Laney let's out a small whimper as she nuzzles her face into the fur of his hoodie.

"...Hey" the blue hoodie skeleton whispers quietly causing Laney to slowly pull away only to find herself now sitting in his lap.

" I'm uh here now nothin will hurt ya or Frisk with me here. Caphice?"

"Caphice." The small princess replies and lets out a quiet laugh as she watches a soft blue tint cross Sans's cheek bone.

"Damn your to cute ya know that?"

"Me? Acting cute? Or trying? No~ never."

"Smart ass."

"... I love you ." she whispers with a loving smile.

"That's good ta know kiddo cause I uh love you to Lanes." Sans replies as he gently pulls her chin to where his teeth meets her warm soft lips.

Laney let's out a soft moan as he begins to deepen the kiss.

The blue hoodie skeleton slowly pulls aways with a low groan.

" Damn babe you don't know how much I missed ya . Your voice, your scent, you eyes, the sounds you make at time like these." Sans finished with a growl as he begins to nip at Laney's neck causing her to let out a soft whimper.

"S-Sans W-we c-can't."

"Mn~ why not baby girl?" he mumbles now licking his princess's small neck as she shivers in his arms.

"Because one this is the garden."

"I know a few short cuts."

"And two it's Papy's big night it'll be rude to just leave." she finished while placing a finger upon his teeth.

"Your really sweet thinking about Paps ya know that? Thanks by the way for helping him with the Royal guard thing." he added while closing his eye sockets and placing a gentle kiss on her finger tip.

"Speaking of Royal guard."

"Hm~?" the blue hoodie skeleton hums as he gently grabs her hand and begins to placing gentle kisses on each finger tip earning a soft blush from his short girlfriend.

"H-how would you feel about being my protector."

"Huh?" the short skeleton asked as he stops with his sweet kisses and locks his eyes with hers.

"Y-you d-don't have I just thought that." Laney pauses as she quickly looks away on to have Sans's bony fingers gently wrap around her chin and turns her head gently so that she was facing him once again.

" Baby girl don't misunderstand. I wanna be your protector it just that uh~ I thought I already was." he finished with a wink.

" So your my knight in hoodie armor?"

" Heh, your one and only Butterfly." Sans added while placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

" And uh I would love to be your protector again if it means that I'm by your side everyday then heh, it sounds great to me."

"I missed you so much Sans."

"I missed you to Laney. Ya know what made me remember you?"

"What?" Laney asked with a slight tilt of her head.

" Your soft blue eyes that had me first fall for ya. When we first met." he mumbles while placing another sweet kiss on Laney's lips before pulling away.

"Now come on Paps is waiting for us. Beside I better tell my bro the good news. Who knows maybe it'll Rattle His Bones with excitement." he finished with a small shrug as he stood up and helps Laney off the ground who was giggling softly.

Both Laney and Sans begin to make their way back towards the ball room with out even noticing a certain very angry flower monster watching them from the shadows.
