"UNDYNE!" I heard from outside of the house. I groaned as I got up, stretched, and looked around. Everything was okay. There was nothing bad in the house. I relaxed in relief as I looked out of the window to see the hyper little former fan of mine standing outside the window on the ground. I looked down from the window and waved.

"I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN!" I yelled down to the kid. I quickly combed my hair, put my tank top and jeans on, and slide right outside in a solid 2 minutes.

"WHOA that was SO COOL Undyne! You're so great!" The Monster Kid smiled happily.

"Thanks," I pat his head and sat down. "So, what do you want to tell me," I smiled the biggest smile I could at the small kid. He smiled and jumped excitedly.

"I… I want you to train me Undyne! I want to be a great warrior like you!" He smiled really happily as I looked down. "My parents even gave me permission!"

"Real permission?" I looked down at the kid, knowing his usual mischief. He looked right at me, and laughed.

"Yup! They said that since I'm now 10 I could be anyone's apprentice!" I smiled at the kids really energetic tone and I couldn't say no.

"Fine, I'll train you." I stood up. The kid looked up at me with fascination since I was around twice the height of him.

"REALLY?"

"Yes really!" I smiled. The kid jumped up and down happily for a little bit and then looked at me at attention.

"What should I do now? When will our training start?" the kid questioned. I frowned, and checked my watch. It was 8:30 in the morning and we had time to start.

"Right now will be good. I'll just have to check on… Papyrus again before we start," I told the kid. He smiled and nodded, and I started to walk towards the center of town.

"Come on!" I beckoned as he ran, tripped, and fell flat on his face. He got up, and smiled.

"Yeah! I'm coming!" He ran after me. I took long strides so he would have to run fast and get some exercise the whole way there, and I slowed down every time he fell. Before I knew it, we were standing in front of the hospital. We entered as I walked slowly (or what the human call "slow". It's around the speed of a slug. No wonder they're having health issues.) with the kid to the front desk as the usual pudgy lady was waiting for me.

"RON-" she started to say as Ronald opened the door.

"I know, Patricia," Ronald said to the lady. She sighed as I walked over to Ron and entered the long hallway that led to their rooms. We started to walk down, as Ron noticed the kid walking near his feet.

"Who are you?" Ron asked the kid politely.

"My name is Tristan!" the kid replied. "I… Im Undynes new apprentice!" Tristan said happily. I frowned as I realized that I actually never knew his real name, as Ronald looked at me.

"Really? For what?" Ronald asked the kid. I felt a cold chill up my back because if the kid told Ron he might not like us monsters even more.

"I'm going to be in the royal guard!" the kid smiled. Ron laughed and looked at me, as I calmed down because what the kid said was way nicer than what I thought he would say.

"That sounds great. I never knew Undyne was in the royal guard though. Didn't they remake the royal guard when the incident happen?" Ron frowned and asked me.

"Yeah. They did," I told him.

"That's good. It like having a 'police-esc' group protecting the monsters. That was definatly a good idea," Ron frowned and started walking.

"What's a-" I started to say as I heard a loud noise from a couple rooms ahead. I ran forward and slide slightly down the hallway to get to Papyrus' room, and I saw someone attacking Papyrus.

"SANS STOP," I yelled at the attacker. Papyrus was defending with all of his might but even some of Sans attacks got to him. I slid between the two, and looked at Sans.

"Sans please stop. We don't need to fight," I said in a normal voice at Sans. He laughed, but refused to stop. One of his attacks skimmed my arm, and I grimaced in annoyance.

"SANS NO FIGHTING," The little monster kid slide into the room and bumped into me. He fell down flat on his face and looked at the two. The two stopped fighting, as Sans looked at the kid.

"... you're lucky. i would never hurt a child," Sans said, quite annoyed.

"SANS WHAT WAS THAT FOR." Papyrus looked hurt. "I WAS JUST TRYING TO GIVE YOU A HUG…"

"... i want to get out of here, papyrus. i told undyne i was too dangerous but she didn't listen," Sans said in a crueler tone at me.

"Sans! For the love of the Delta Rune think about who you left here. We were scared that you might have died and Papyrus was as worried as ever. You are not helping anyone by leaving. Besides, now we know your hiding place." I told Sans. He grunted in a response.

"SANS DON'T YOU EVER LEAVE LIKE THAT AGAIN," Papyrus said with a brotherly sounding attitude. "WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU."

Sans paused for a moment. He seemed to regain his past self for a moment, before his new ideas plagued his head again.

"i didn't want to worry you, paps," he said quietly.

"WELL YOU DID," Papyrus said, frowning. He sighed and shook his head. "I JUST WANT IT TO BACK AS IT WAS AGAIN," he paused. "YOU SITTING LAZILY AT THE COUCH MAKING BAD PUNS AND ME MAKING DINNER AND HAVING UNDYNE AND ALPHYS AND TORIEL OVER AT THE HOUSE HAVING A GREAT TIME. NOT THIS RUN AWAY CAUSE PEOPLE MIGHT GET A TEENSY BIT HURT BY MY OWN PERSONALITY."

"Yeah, Sans. That would be better for everyone," I said to Sans. Sans stopped looking down and looked up for a moment.

"fine. i'll stay. but don't say i didn't warn you," Sans said. We nodded in unison, and Sans walked up to Papyrus. Sans hugged Papyrus, and Papyrus hugged back, still slightly hurt from Sans attacks.

"i'm sorry papyrus," Sans said. Papyrus smiled.

"IT'S FINE, BROTHER," Papyrus hugged Sans.

"Thank goodness that was dealt with," Ronald said quietly by the entrance of the room. I smiled at the two, and walked out of the room, practically dragging Tristan to come with me.

"Wait… you didn't tell me Sans was in the hospital, Undyne!" the kid said, now willingly walking with me and Ron. I frowned as I realized I didn't mention Sans earlier, and looked at him.

"It's new news," I told him. "Barely anyone knows that Sans back. I really should get the word around…"

"I could help you! We could go to Toriels house and tell them, and then they could tell other people!" Tristan sounded really excited with the idea, and I had to smile.

"Ah, okay, we could do that," I said, and then had another idea. "Only if you could beat me to the elevator first!" The kid started running quickly, and I called, "BUT ONLY WHEN WE'RE OUT OF THE HOSPITAL OKAY? WAIT FOR ME AT THE ENTRANCE." The kid kept running until he was through the door at the other end of the hallway.

"Heh, I'm sorry about that," I told Ron. He laughed.

"It's fine. I know kids," Ron smiled. "They're always running around all over the place," We continued walking at a brisk pace, and before I knew it we were standing at the door Tristan ran through earlier. I opened the door and looked back.

"Bye Ron!" I waved back as I walked through the lobby and out the door to see the kid standing right there. He was jumping up and down really excitingly as if he had no end of his energy, and he looked at me, determined.

"I'm gonna beat yah!" He said as I stretched my arms. I smirked and laughed.

"Try your best," I looked at him with the same determined look he gave me. "Ready… set... GO!"

We both started running at a fast pace through the crowds of people around the square. Across the town was the elevator we were running to, and I knew a shorter route to get there than the one the kid was taking. I smirked as I jumped up onto a small rooftop, and started briskly running on the roofs of the village. I quickly lost sight of the kid as I continued spinning over rooftops and running as fast as my body would let me. I skidded to a stop with the elevator facing behind me, confident that I beat the kid

"HAH I beat you Undyne!" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around, now facing the elevator, and saw the kid behind me, leaning against the elevator. I jumped, since I didn't see him there, and then realized that a kid beat me. At my own game.

"Man that was a great run, Tristan," I told the kid. He smiled happily and I pat his head. "Okay, let's go." We entered the elevator and waited patiently for the really long elevator ride to end.

After a couple minutes, we exited the elevator, and ran as fast as possible through the underground (with the kid tripping a couple of times, of course, but he always got back onto his feet), and we eventually made it to the ruins where Frisk, Toriel, and Flowey lives. We ran through the small entrance room, and went outside of her house where we found her and Frisk watering the flowers.

"Oh, hello Undyne!" Toriel said enthusiastically. I smiled and waved.

"Hi Toriel!" Tristan ran up to the goat and looked up at her, smiling. She laughed, as Frisk ran up to Tristan and gave him a big hug.

"What's with all of the ruckus?" She asked me politely.

"Just came to tell you that Sans is back. We found him," I told her.

"Where?!" She looked amazed that we were able to find him. I paused for a second wondering if I should tell her precisely.

"In a room in the waterfall," I told her. "It was tucked away in a corner… it was quite a good hiding spot."

"Well, that's great! I'll go and see him right now. Do you want to come, Frisk?" she asked the kid. Frisk nodded, and held her hand. "Okay! We'll be going."

"Can I go with them, Undyne?" Tristan asked. I nodded, and he jumped excitingly and ran over to the two. Frisk laughed, and they exited into the house. I checked my watch and looked at the time.

It was almost the time when I would meet Flowey!

I, as fast as I could, went to the closest way to the surface, and realized that climbing up that really tall hole might be the most efficient way to deal with this. I ran to that room, and started climbing up the big heavy rocks that lined the holes edge. I continued climbing up until I reached the top, and flopped, sweating, over the edge. I laid there for a moment, but forced myself to get up, and carefully walked through the thorny garden making sure not to trip on one of the thorny branches.

I started running down from the mountain to the village, dodging trees easily with a step or two to each side. I skidded into the forest where I usually met Flowey, and stopped precisely one second before 5:00, the time we were supposed to meet. Flowey popped out of the ground, and smiled.

"Howdy Undyne!" He said even though I was still panting tiredly. I looked at him, slightly exhausted.

"Hey, Flowey," I said to the flower.

"Did you bring your map?" Flowey asked, frowning. I looked down at my hands and remembered that I didn't have time to stop by the house and get it before coming. I groaned and annoyance, as I started to turn around to get back to the house, as Flowey interrupted me.

"It's fine. How about I'll show you the new place I discovered for your map, and you map it later?" Flowey said, happily. I sighed, and walked up to him.

"Okay…" I said, uncertainly. I followed Flowey through a grove of bushes directly across the area where we were mapping last time, and I found a large field filled with only one tree with, ironically, a spear sticking out of it. I ran up the hill, still very tired, and leaned against the tree.

"Boy, you look tired," Flowey commented. I laughed and looked at them.

"Yeah. I just ran from the ruins, climbed up that hole in the mountain, and ran as fast as my legs could take me down here just to get here on time," I said to them. "I wouldn't have been able to get the map and get here on time anyway…"

"When did you leave the ruins? I left around 20 minutes ago," Flowey asked.

"I left around 10 minutes ago…" I told him. "I was only in the ruins for a short bit though. You might have just missed me."

"That's really fast!" Flowey commented. I laughed and nodded.

"Yeah. That's why I'm really really tired," I sat down. He 'sat' besides me, and pointed with one of his leaves to the sunset.

"I found out that this was one of the best places to watch the stars," Flowey said as the sun disappeared from the sky. I sat there, letting the cold wind of the coming fall cool me down from the run I had before, and I watched as the stars slowly appeared. They showed up like snowflakes which rarely came down in Snowdin, but then they never reached the ground.

"I heard from my parents that those dots are giant balls of gas," Flowey said contently, while looking up at the stars. "And that they are separated by dark matter… which is basically nothing. And… And then we're just a small dot in the millions of stars there…"

"Really?" I echoed. "I didn't know that."

"Yeah… and then, like, there might be other planets out there! Who knows! Maybe there's a place where there's humans and monsters living together in complete harmony with everyone happy!" Flowey sounded really excited about the topic.

"So you must like Astronomy," I commented on what he said. Flowey looked down at the ground.

"I.. I mean I don't really like Astronomy… I just happen to know a lot about it," Flowey said unenthusiastically.

"And then you wouldn't have learned that in any normal school, cause they don't teach Astronomy, like, ever. They don't seem to think it's important, sadly," I looked interestingly down at the flower.

"Yeah… my parents made me go to a top notch school. My mom was always interested in education," Flowey said. "It's not a big deal, really. I didn't need any of that knowledge anyway…"

Flowey and I sat there awkwardly for a little bit, until you could see the stars clearly. I jumped as my watch made a beeping sound, as I looked and realized that I've been out here for a hour and I needed to get back to the house to make Alphys an actually decent meal!

"Hey, Flowey, I got to go…" I got up quickly. They looked over to me, and smiled.

"Alright, Undyne! I'll see you next Monday," the flower smiled as I waved goodbye and ran quickly down to the human village. As soon as I knew it, I was on the mainstreet of the town, and I slid over to the house before you could say "Determination." I entered the house, and Alphys was in there waiting. I shut the door behind me, and left the cold streets behind.
