Frisk looked at the area ahead of her before closing her eyes and taking a breath before turning and walking back into Snowdin and approaching Papyrus.
"Ah, human Frisk." Papyrus grinned seeing her. "Are you here to hang out?"
"Yeah, I want to hang out with my new friend." Frisk smiled before pausing. "So… what do we do to hang out?"
"Fear not, I the Great Papyrus took care to prepare a great hang out for the two of us. First, allow me to take you somewhere very special, a place I spend a great deal of time." Papyrus declared before offering Frisk his hand which she took with a smile as they walked through Snowdin only to return to Sans and Papyrus' house. "My house."
"That makes sense, then after you Papyrus." Frisk said happily.
"Of course, Nyeheheheh." Papyrus laughed as they walked into the house. "Feel free to look around."
"Alright." Frisk smiled before looking around only to pause. "Actually, can you show me around Papyrus?"
Papyrus couldn't help but smile at that. "Of course, starting here we have my brother's pet rock. He always forgets to feed it so the responsibility falls to me."
"Oh, I understand." Frisk smiled. "You're really responsible Papyrus."
"Of course." Papyrus grinned. "Now what next on our tour?"
"Um…" Frisk started before looking in the kitchen. "What's in here?"
"Ah our kitchen." Papyrus grinned. "As you can see I had the sink raised so I could fit more bones underneath, feel free to take a look if you'd like."
Frisk smiled before walking over to the sink and opening it to reveal the same dog from their fight.
"What, quick stop that dog!" Papyrus called urgently only for the dog to run past him and out the front door just before Sans opened a door upstairs and played a brief tune on a trombone causing Frisk to giggle.
"Well, I guess the dog escaped." Frisk mentioned.
"It seems so." Papyrus noted in annoyance. "Well would you like to begin hanging out?"
Frisk smiled hearing that. "Ok Papyrus."
Papyrus grinned before walking upstairs. "Then please follow me Frisk."
"Ok, I'm right behind you Papyrus." Frisk said happily before following him upstairs and into a room with a racecar bed. "Wow, this is really cool."
"But of course, it is my room after all." Papyrus grinned. "So, unless you want to look around first we can begin the hang out."
"I'm ok, so how does it work?" Frisk asked curiously.
"That's very simple." Papyrus smiled before taking out a small book. "I picked up this book on hanging out from the library and it has very clear steps."
"That's good." Frisk mentioned. "So what's the first step Papyrus?"
Papyrus only smiled. 'The first step is to ask to hang out. So, human Frisk would you like to hang out?"
"Yes, I would like to hang out with you Papyrus." Frisk answered with her own smile.
Papyrus smiled hearing that. "Well then, the next step is to wear special clothes to show you care."
Frisk looked down hearing that before her eyes widened. "Oh, you mean like this ribbon?"
Papyrus looked at Frisk before gasping. "Human Frisk, you were already wearing clothing, that must mean you wanted to hang out with me the whole time."
"Well yeah, you're really cool and hanging out with you sounds like it would be really fun." Frisk answered happily.
Papyrus smiled hearing that. "I see, well you aren't the only one who can wear special clothing. In fact, I'm always wearing my special clothes underneath my regular clothes."
As he said that Papyrus ran into a closet before running out wearing a t-shirt with the words Cool Dude written on it, shorts with buttons on them, gloves with a striped trim, knee high socks, sneakers, and a backwards baseball cap.
Frisk's eyes widened seeing the outfit before she smiled. "Your shirt's right Papyrus."
"Nyeheheheh." Papyrus laughed. "Indeed human, it did not originally say 'Cool Dude' but all clothing can be modified in this way."
"That's really cool." Frisk smiled. "So… what do we do to hang out?"
"Well we can reminisce about when I was trying to capture you if you want, or maybe I can share some of my favorite books with you or…" Papyrus started only for Frisk to just hug him. "Human Frisk?"
"Actually… can we forget that you wanted to capture me?" Frisk requested. "I'd prefer to just look forward to where we're good friends and solve puzzles together."
Papyrus just smiled and hugged her back. "Of course, I understand that perfectly."
Frisk smiled at that before letting go. "Thank you Papyrus."
"Well with that done I'm actually surprised you haven't found the secret of my special clothes. A brilliant puzzle solver like you should be able to figure it out very quickly." Papyrus grinned.
Frisk smiled before looking up at Papyrus. "Um… is it your hat?"
"Very clever, you're correct it is my hat." Papyrus smiled before taking it off revealing a small box. "I have a small present for you."
"Really, thank you Papyrus that's really nice of you." Frisk mentioned taking the box and opening it. "Huh, is this spaghetti?"
"Oh it's far more than that." Papyrus grinned. "That human Frisk, is silken spaghetti finely aged in an oaken cask. Then expertly cooked my me, master chef Papyrus."
"That sounds really tasty, can I try a bite?" Frisk asked.
"Of course." Papyrus answered before taking the plate of spaghetti and handing it to Frisk. "I'll be right back with a fork for you."
With that Papyrus walked out of the room with a grin as Frisk closed her eyes.
"Sans… I promise I'm doing everything I can to make sure when we get there this time… not only will we stay but everything will be perfect for us." Frisk whispered to herself. "Everything you're going through… that we both had to go through, I won't let it be for nothing."
At that exact moment Papyrus came in with a fork as he smiled and handed it to her.
"Here you are human Frisk, enjoy." Papyrus smiled.
"Thanks Papyrus, I'm sure it'll be really tasty." Frisk smiled before cutting a small bite of the spaghetti and eating it only to wince. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Papyrus hasn't started his lessons with mom yet.
"That face, such a passionate expression about my cooking. You must really love it." Papyrus smiled. "You are truly special Frisk. Though, I can tell by the look in your eye you desire to return to the surface, don't you?"
Frisk turned to Papyrus before nodding. "Yeah, I do."
"I understand, well if you must go on just continue along the path out of town and you'll eventually reach King Asgore's castle." Papyrus told her. "He's a big fuzzy pushover though and I'm sure he'll take you to the barrier himself… oh the barrier is the magical seal that keeps us all trapped underground."
"Oh, that's not fair though." Frisk mentioned sadly before hugging Papyrus.
"We will be free one day human Frisk." Papyrus smiled. "Actually, why don't I give you my number so if you ever need advice from the great Papyrus you can call and I'll give it to you."
"That makes sense, thanks Papyrus." Frisk smiled as she handed him her cell phone and he put his phone number into it.
"Be careful Frisk, you are truly great and I would hate to think my friend was injured." Papyrus mentioned.
"I know what you mean." Frisk agreed before hugging Papyrus as he handed her cell phone back.
"Take care of yourself human Frisk." Papyrus smiled as he walked out of the room leaving Frisk on her own.
I will Papyrus, and we'll all be free soon, Frisk thought with a smile before walking out of the room as she braced herself for the trip through Waterfall only for Sans to walk out of the other room.
"Huh, you heading out?" Sans asked curiously.
"Yeah, I have to keep a promise to a friend and that means as much as I want to stay with you and Papyrus I need to keep going." Frisk answered.
Sans just nodded. "Well, if you need anything just let me know kid. I'll still keep an eye socket out for you."
Frisk smiled and hugged Sans. "Thank you, that means a lot."
Sans just smiled and hugged her back as Frisk walked out of the house.

"This is it… I made it through Snowdin. I promise I'll make sure everything is ok this time." Frisk smiled as she walked along the path before seeing an orange monster standing next to a blue flower.
"Hello, what's this?" Frisk inquired curiously.
"That my friend, is the Echo Flower. It repeats the last thing it heard." the monster answered.
Frisk turned to the flower after he said that.
"That my friend, is the Echo Flower. It repeats the last thing it heard." the Echo Flower repeated causing Frisk to smile.
"That's really cool." Frisk smiled.
"Yeah, it definitely is." the monster nodded in agreement.
"Huh, are you sneaking out to see Undyne too?" Monster Kid asked noticing her.
"Something like that." Frisk answered. "You really look up to Undyne don't you?"
"Yeah." Monster Kid grinned.
"Well if we're both looking we'll find Undyne for sure." Frisk mentioned.
"You're right about that." Monster Kid nodded happily.
"Looking for Undyne kid?" Sans inquired from a nearby sentry station. "She's definitely someone you'll know when you see her."
"That's good to know, and who knows maybe if I became friends with Papyrus I can become her friend too." Frisk smiled causing Sans to chuckle.
"Well, if you think so, good luck Frisk." Sans smiled. "Something tells me you'll need it."
Frisk just nodded. Yeah, but to keep the promise I made I'll make sure everything works out in the end.

"Ok, what exactly do you think you're doing Sans?" questioned a monster in armor holding a blue spear. "Papyrus told me you've been killing every single monster in Snowdin."
"Heh, I guess he would have said that." Sans shrugged. "I'm guessing you came to kill me and put a stop to that Undyne?"
"I came to ask you what you think you're doing." Undyne told him. "Look, Papyrus is worried that there's something dangerously wrong with you and to be honest seeing the dust all over your clothes I'm thinking the same thing. What is going on with you?"
"Believe me, if I told you you'd think it was absolutely impossible." Sans answered. "To be completely honest, I'm not even sure it is possible myself but it's a choice I made."
"A choice? Listen to me Sans, you are going to tell me exactly what you think justifies killing everyone here and you'd better hope it's a good answer." Undyne threatened while forming a half dozen spears out of magic.
Sans sighed before looking at her. "Ok Undyne, I'll tell you on two conditions. First you wait for me at the end of Waterfall, you know where I mean the mountain you use to deliver your speech to the humans that fall, and second. Not a word of this to Papyrus or anybody else."
"Are you kidding? This isn't a game Sans!" Undyne snapped. "People are losing their lives because of you and…"
Sans just frowned and shook his head before disappearing.
"What, Sans?" Undyne questioned looking around before turning to Waterfall. "What is that crazy skeleton thinking?"
With that Undyne ran farther into Waterfall to try and catch up with Sans.
(Frisk has spent more time with Papyrus and obtained his phone number and is preparing to enter the next area of the Underground in order to make sure she's broken the barrier while meanwhile Sans has entered Waterfall and been confronted by Undyne only to slip past her to continue his genocide. Next chapter Frisk will encounter Undyne for the first time and Sans will begin killing the residents of Waterfall. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
