Sans and Papyrus moved to the sofa, where the both plopped down. They were hugging each other tightly. "i spent most of my life trying to bring him back," Sans muttered. He sniffled. "a-and he, a-and he did that."

"And I brought him back, thinking that he was a great dad guy, who would never hurt us. He even helped me in my worst time, and now…," Papyrus trailed off. He shook his head. "There has to be some reason."

"yeah. that reason is his STUPID science experiments," Sans grumbled. "that's all we were as children of a scientist."He slammed his hand down on the couch. "science experiments that he had to watch over. i can't believe i was so gullible!."

Undyne growled. "No, he messed with your memories, remember?" She punched the ground. "I don't care WHAT his reason was. If he comes back, I'm kicking his butt!"

"Undyne, what if it's a really good explanation," Papyrus asked.

"Look Papyrus," Undyne started. She knelt down to look him in the eyes. "I know that you thought he was a nice person, but he isn't. He hurt your brother, then messed with his mind," Undyne explained.

"But…"

"A-A-And it was D-Determination," Alphys stuttered. "Sans could have... he could have… he could have melted!"

Everyone in the room gasped, aside from Sans. "he must have known that too," Sans muttered. "he was in charge of that experiment, how could he not have known?"

"That's a very disturbing revelation," Asgore exclaimed

Chara chuckled. "So what are you guys gonna do with this new information."

"Chara, maybe you shouldn't say anything," Asriel insisted. "Sans doesn't really like you, ya know."

Chara shushed the goat and stepped out of the corner. The fire burnt her, but she ate a piece of candy and healed herself. She walked up to the center of the group circle. "Well, I propose that we go and deliver justice for Sans."

Undyne grinned. "Kid, you're reading my mind!"

Frisk shook her head. "No. Violence won't solve this problem," Frisk insisted. "What he did was wrong, but like Papyrus said, maybe he has a reason for all this."

"Reason, shmeason, he hurt the dear skeleton brothers," Chara said sweetly, perhaps overly so. "I say we need to teach him a lesson."

Sans stared at Chara with a look of confusion and anger. "you hate us though."

"Yes, but do you think I want a lot of moping in the house? That's really annoying, y'know."

Sans rolled his eyes. "don't bother. unless he comes back, he can live alone knowing that i hate him. it's too much of my time and effort to track him down."

"Are you sure Sans," Chara asked," because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I'm offering."

Sans scoffed. "and let you anywhere near a dangerous weapon? i'm hurt, angry, and upset, but i'm not insane."

Chara sighed. She looked around the room.

"Are you sure you feel that way, Sans," Undyne asked.

Sans nodded. "he'll live alone, knowing that his son, his son who spent all his life trying to help him, now hates him with a passion. if he ever shows back up here though…" Sans' eye glowed a bright blue. "I'll kill him."

"What do I do," Gaster asked the dark room. The darkness around him was suffocating. "They hate me. I know they do." He clutched his skull. Tears were spilling down his cheek bone. "And I did this. I did this to myself."

A static-like sound filled the room.

"ENTRY NUMBER SEVENTEEN

DARK DARKER YET DARKER

PHOTON READINGS NEGATIVE

THIS NEXT EXPERIMENT SEEMS

INTERESTING

...

WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK?"

Gaster looked around. "T-That's my old entry," he stuttered because of his recent sob. "B-But me being removed from the world caused it to… be deleted." He shakily stood up to try and locate the source of the noise. Behind the table, he noticed a wispy grey outline. Gaster focused intently on the shape.

The shape looked to be a small monster. He looked similar to a monster who was frequent at standing in front of ficuses in restaurants, only this monster was grey. The monster stared at Gaster. His eyes widened.

"Dr. W.D. Gaster," the man asked in a static-filled voice. "You're alive," he croaked. He held a small monitor in his hand. "I heard someone come in, and I thought maybe it was you, but I wasn't so sure. I decided to play this just in case!"

Gaster stared at the monster. "You… you're one of my lab assistants."

The monster nodded. "Yes! So you remember? Even though you're on a different plane of time and space?"

"Well of course! I myself was like that too. Then I… then I," Gaster began to explain. "My… my son… he…"

"Sir?"

Gaster trembled and sat back down. He hid his face from sight. "I've been such a fool! How did I… how did I ever think that they wouldn't find out?"

The monster moved closer to the former scientist. "What happened sir? I mean… if you don't mind me asking, that is."

"I-I made a horrible mistake w-with my sons."

"You mean Sans? And… Papyrus, was it?"

Gaster gave a slight nod. "They hate me now, I'm sure of it."

The monster sighed. "Well sir, I don't think that Sans could ever hate you. From what I've seen, he was always happy to help you in the lab. Not to mention his adventures when you were gone. He tried to help you, and I'm guessing he succeeded."

"No." Gaster buried his head in his arms. "Papyrus and Alphys helped me. And again, no. Sans hates me. He threatened me, and… and he told me to leave. He kicked me out of the house."

The figure gasped. "That's horrible!"

Gaster shook his head. "No. He has every right to do that. I did something horrible, and now… and now..." Once again, Gaster began to cry. "I've lost my sons again!"

"So are you gonna sit there and mope, sir?"

Gaster raised his head. "What?"

"Well sir, the great doctor I know wouldn't just sit around and cry because of a mistake. He'd own up to it. I'm sure that whatever you did, you had a good reason, right?"

Gaster nodded. "They won't let me explain."

"I'm sure there's someone," the monster insisted. "What about that nosy little girl?"

"You mean Frisk?"

The monster nodded. "Yeah. She seems like the kind of person who would listen."

Gaster shook his head. "Even if she did want to listen, I don't think Sans'll let me anywhere near her. Sans and the queen have taken a real liking to her. "

"Well, did the impossible ever stop you from trying? I remember that you, Alphys, and even Sans tried to find a way to break the barrier. Sure, it didn't work, but did you give up? No. Instead, you made a breakthrough in the study of humans. You built an energy source to power the Underground. You are the great Dr. W.D. Gaster!" The louder the monster got, the more static filled the air. "So sir, don't give up, even when things look tough. If they won't let you inside the house, find another way."

Gaster nodded. "I-I'll try. Thank you." He gave a tiny smile.

The monster smiled. "No sir, thank you. I've been lonely too, and talking with you's made me feel better."

Gaster frowned. "How long have you been like that?"

"Ever since you fell into the Core," the monster answered.

"How did that happen?"

" Me and a couple others were trying to rescue you. We had a bungee cord that we found at the dump. The line snapped and we all fell in."

Gaster blinked. "Did anyone else fall in?"

The monster looked to the side. "Yeah. There's a child who calls themself Goner Kid. They fell into the Waterfall river, and they were carried all the way to the Core," he explained. "They're so depressed."

"Maybe I could help yo-" Gaster started. He was cut off.

"No. Go fix your relationship with your sons, then come back. We'll still be here," the monster insisted. He smiled. "I believe you can find a way, sir."

Gaster smiled. "I'll come back to help you." He stood up and spawned a door.

"I believe you sir."

Gaster turned the knob and stepped through the door.

Le gasp! A chapter, within three days of the last! Hasn't happened in a long time! So, here's the start of the next arc. Hope ya like it! Bye guys!
