Chapter 4: Snowy

After opening the door, you immediately recoiled when a gust of cold wind flew into you: sending shivers to your face, spine, and everything in between. You stood there for a second, hugging yourself and shivering due to the shock of the cold wind. While you were standing there, you decided to take a quick look around; you shifted your eyes around the environment, looking for anything that stood out. But, it wasn't just one particular thing which stood out; in fact, you swore it was the whole environment which stood out; the trees were green, tall, and frosted with snow, the 'sky', or should i say 'shiny cave rock', shone with a surprising amount of colored flashes: most, if not all, of the flashes were colored white and blue, which complemented the rest of the snowy forest perfectly.

After you stared in awe for a couple minutes, attempting to take it all in; you started walking down the path. You walked slowly: watching your steps carefully to avoid tripping and falling. You continued walking forward, seeing nothing on the ground, no living creatures in sight, until, you nearly tripped over a stick, which was, for some unknown reason, placed in the center of the path. Luckily, you just increased the size of your stride and calmly stepped over the stick. And with that, you continued walking, until, you heard a loud snap coming from behind you. You were shocked at this and ended up stumbling into the snow, inadvertantly hitting your knee on a wooden gate in the process. You looked at your knee for any sign of injury, but only saw a mild scrape where it had made contact with one of the bars on the gate.

You looked back down the path, still curious as to what had made the noise, and you saw a short figure walking towards you. You stared towards it to get a closer look at it, but, the only other things you noticed was that it was wearing a hoodie and that it was only inches away from you. You stood up, thinking of you you could run, but, there was a gate on one side, and this figure on the other side. You started sweating uncontrollably, and just as you thought of running past the figure, it spoke, "Hey, that's no way to greet a new friend. Turn around, and shake my hand." You thought disobeying would be a bad idea at this point, so you turned around and shook it's hand. But right after you did so, you heard a loud fart noise, which, despite the current situation, caused you to burst out into laughter. You sat there laughing for several seconds, until you calmed down enough for the thing to speak again.

You looked towards the thing in anticipation: waiting for something to happen; until, after only a few seconds, the thing pulled down its hood, giving you a better look at it and its clothes. You scanned over the thing with your eyes: trying to get a better idea of what it is and maybe get some hint as to its personality. The first thing you noticed was its choice of clothing: it was wearing a red, white, and blue striped jacket, a gray undershirt which seemed to have an unquantifiable amount of food stains, and near the top of the undershirt, you noticed what seemed to be a neck-bone. You decided you had enough with looking at his clothes and stared up at his face, or lack thereof, he merely had an exposed skull with no sort of hat or anything else on it, though, you thought that for a second, that you saw a bald eagle flying around in his skull, but, you dismissed it, as the idea sounded really stupid.

You scratched your head in confusion and stood there for a moment, unsure of what to think. However, this dilemma was solved, as he started speaking "Hello there, i'm sans, sans the skeleton. And you are...?", you just stood there, at a loss for words. "You're one of those silent types aren't 'ya?" You just stared back at sans, a confused look plastered on your face. "So you can't talk, huh? Well then, you must be one of those 'special' folks, like the ones in those mental hospitals. So, how'd you get free? I would love to know how many guards you had to kill to get out of there." You were about to punch this skeleton in the face, when, out of seemingly nowhere, you heard what sounded like an audience laughing. You then lowered your fist at that moment, afraid that if you did hit him, you would get a little more than you bargained for. Following this, you waited a little more, until, sans started speaking again "Hey, i'm surprised. I mean, we've only known each other for a few minutes, but you've barely said anything at all. Do you even speak english?"

You started to get bored of sans' talking and you looked over towards the gate, you saw what looked a vendor's hut and a lamp on the other side of the gate. At this moment, you remembered about getting home, and asked sans if he could let you through the gate. You stared at sans for a few moments: waiting for his response. Eventually, sans walked over to the gate and started talking to the guard on the other side. You were standing right there, so, you managed to overhear the conversation between sans and the guard.

Sans: Hey, would 'ya mind letting me in?

Guard: What's the password?

Sans: *whispering* 'cheeki breeki'

Guard: Ok, that's the right password. I'll open it up.

You stared at the gate and started watching it open, watching as two of the bars slid apart: allowing a space for you and sans to walk through. After several seconds, the guard stood aside, revealing the newly opened gate. Following this, sans spoke to you again, "Hey, follow me, i know the quickest route to the local town." You walked slowly behind sans: following him down the path; until, sans suddenly stopped in his tracks. You were about to ask sans about what was going on, until he spoke again, "Hey, my brother's coming back. Quick, behind that conviently shaped lamp." You, obviously sensing that something was wrong, decided to listen to sans: despite the many questions you had. You quickly ran behind the lamp and stood there, waiting in fear for what was to come. However, it didn't take long before you heard someone run over towards sans. You quickly peeked your head out to see who it was, and you were surprised at what you saw: it was another skeleton. This skeleton looked much like sans, only he was taller, and seemed to be dressed like a mobster or something to that effect. But, you could only look for a few seconds, as you moved completely behind the lamp after hearing someone talk.

You could recognize the voice though: it was sans. He spoke in a surprisingly casual tone, "Sup bro?", to which the other skeleton responded with "What-a do you a mean-a what is up?", or at least, that was the best you could do to put his strong Italian accent into words. Though you couldn't think about his accent for much longer because your thoughts were interrupted by sans talking, "I mean, as in, what have you been cooking? Spaghetti and breadsticks?", after he said that statement, papyrus replied back with "Well, that's what i was actually planning to-", you heard papyrus' voice take a bit of an angrier tone, "Wait... you're making fun of my ethnicity again, aren't you?! Sans! I told you to practice your racist humor on someone else!"

Sans paused for a moment before speaking again, "Well, if you don't like my jokes... You can just BAGUETTE out of here...", after sans said this, he fell to the floor and started laughing hysterically. Papyrus just stared for a second at sans, before sighing and starting to speak again, "Well, i guess you could say that *a smile crept up on papyrus' face*... You ameriCAN'T make any good jokes.", papyrus then started walking away, saying "NYEH NYEH HEH" the whole way.
