"SO, YOU GOT SEPARATED FROM YOUR FRIEND? HOW TERRIBLE!" Plushtale Papyrus looked at them with concern. "MAYBE WE'LL FIND THIS GASTER FELLOW ONCE WE FIND THIS FRISK PERSON!"

"yeah. that'd be pretty cool, not gonna lie. so, how's your universe?"

Sans shrugged. "i mean, it could be better. it might be breaking apart, thanks to all these holes in the universe. other than that, it's fine."

Papyrus tried to make a huge grin. "I mean! We were able to get to the surface in our world!"

Plushtale Papyrus gasped. Even Plushtale Sans looked at least vaguely interested. "WHAT'S IT LIKE OUTSIDE THIS BOX? TELL ME! THE GREAT PAPYRUS MUST KNOW!"

"well, it's a very pretty place," Sans started. "the air's clean, the sky's blue, and the stars are bright."

"stars? you've seen the stars?" Plushtale Sans asked. Curiosity filled his voice.

Sans nodded. "hard to believe that the humans take that sight for granted. unlike the star stones in our universe, these stars change positions. we don't have to pretend those glowing rocks are stars."

"THAT SOUNDS PRETTY! SO YOU DON'T HAVE THE SAME HOROSCOPE EVERY DAY?"

"nope. it's all different."

"i've always wanted to see the real stars. we've got a similar thing but with sequins," Plushtale Sans explained. He sighed. "too bad we're all stuck in here."

"BUT ONCE WE FIND A HUMAN, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HARNESS THEIR MAGIC TO BREAK THE SEAL KEEPING US IN HERE, AND IN RETURN, WE COULD BECOME NORMAL MONSTERS," Plushtale Papyrus beamed.

"Well, I hope you do return to normal! Perhaps you'll have better luck with joining the Royal Guard," Papyrus insisted.

Plushtale Papyrus seemed to grow more excited. "WOWIE! MY CLONE... OR PERSON FROM A DIFFERENT DIMENSION... IS WISHING ME LUCK IN MY DREAM," he exclaimed.

"Well, I couldn't just NOT do that," Papyrus insisted.

Sans chuckled. "i'm glad that you guys are friendly versions of us. tibia honest, i don't think i can handle another unfriendly version of me."

Papyrus shook his head. "I don't think anyone can."

A wrinkle formed above Plushtale Sans' eyes. "what happened?"

Sans shook his head. "best not to talk about it. kinda traumatized actually."

"BUT YOU SHOULD TELL US! WE WON'T JUDGE!"

Sans waved his hand dismissively. "nope. besides, if this sans is like me, he will judge me.

Plushtale Papyrus sighed. "FINE. SO, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR FRIEND IS?"

Sans shrugged. "i don't know. last time we saw him, we were about to come here. we were attacked by a human from your world. me and papyrus were forced into the portal. i uh... haven't seen him since."

Plushtale Papyrus stood up and gave Sans a pat on the back. "NOT TO WORRY, NEW BROTHER! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL HAPPILY AID YOU ON YOUR QUEST, WITH THE HELP OF MY BROTHER SANS, OF COURSE!"

"yeah. besides, i wanna meet your friend too."

"THEN IT'S SETTLED! WE LEAVE AT ONCE," Plushtale Papyrus exclaimed. He grabbed his universe's Sans and darted out the door.

Sans chuckled. "i'm glad to see that this place seems normal."

Papyrus nodded. "Me too, brother!"

"Oh... my aching head," Gaster muttered to himself. He looked around. It was a dark and stormy evening. The ground was saturated by rainwater and the sidewalk wasn't much better. He shivered. "It's so cold here..."

Wrinkles appeared close to Gaster's mouth. It was the closest he could come to frowning. "Where is here, anyway? It doesn't look familiar at all."

He stood up. "I have to get out of the rain. I must find that hole in space-time so I can get back to my sons." Gaster began to walk along the empty sidewalk. "What universe is this, I wonder."

A white car raced down the road, hitting a collection of water as it sped along. Water splashed Gaster and knocked him over into a bush. Gaster groaned. "Why is this universe so cruel?"

Footsteps could be heard. In the distance, a girl walked along, humming various songs aloud. This girl was wearing a white sweater with black pants and blue shoes. Her blonde hair reached to her shoulders. She carried a small bag.

While walking, the girl noticed the toy. "Oh? Who left this here?" She picked up Gaster and examined him. "That's an odd face for a stuffed animal... or whatever this thing is," she noted.

"What is it about my face that is so odd? I am a skeleton, after all," Gaster explained.

The girl let out a shriek and jumped back. Gaster landed in a puddle. "D-D-Did that t-thing just talk?"

"Yes." He stood up. "Hello human. My name is W. D. Gaster, former Royal Scientist of the Underground." Gaster held out his hand. He looked at his hand and sighed. "Nearly forgot that handshakes aren't too effective in this form. Okay." Gaster put down his hand. "Let me just be honest with you. I am not from your dimension. I woke up here a minute ago, and I need to find a way out of your dimension and into another," Gaster explained. "Would you mind helping me, human?"

The girl was close to passing out. "This isn't real! I'm asleep in bed," she repeated over and over again.

Gaster sighed. "I suppose I'll find another human to help."

The girl swallowed her fear and picked up the stuffed skeleton. "N-No! I'll help! Don't worry! I'll get you back home!" False bravery filled her voice.

"Thank you. But first, can we get out of the rain. I am made of some sort of fabric at the moment and I don't want to ruin it."

She nodded and placed Gaster into her bag. She dashed towards her house.

And done! Sorry about not updating yesterday. I won't update tomorrow (Probably) either. But! I've got a question!

Durian/Kiwi or King Crab/ Umbrella Squid

Not explaining this one, like normal.

Anyway, thank you guys for reading! Bye guys!
