"STRANGE, THE HUMAN SHOULD BE EAGERLY APPROACHING THIS PUZZLE. PERHAPS THEY HAVE GOTTEN LOST AND NEED MY GUIDANCE TO FIND IT." Papryus noted before walking back the way he came only to pause as he saw Frisk curled up in the snow with Sans trying to comfort her. "BROTHER, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE HUMAN? DOESN'T SHE KNOW THERE ARE SO MANY…"
"now's not the best time Papyrus, the kid is… well just look at her." Sans interrupted. "she can barely muster up the effort to move and her HP, ATK, and DEF are as low as possible."
"WHAT? THE HUMAN SEEMED SO FULL OF ENERGY THE LAST TIME I SAW… WHAT HAPPENED?" Papyrus questioned.
"the kid told me why she came to the Underground." Sans answered. "she was hoping to find her older sister, Chara. the thing is paps, she never will."
"NONSENSE, WHEREVER THIS CHARA IS…" Papyrus started as Frisk started to cry.
"hey paps, can you do me a favor and take the kid to town?" Sans asked. "there's somebody I need to talk to."
"I UNDERSTAND, I WILL MAKE SURE THE HUMAN GETS OUT OF THE COLD." Papyrus mentioned before picking up Frisk as the two brothers walked off in different directions.

"hopefully the voice can give me some advice." Sans said to himself before walking up and knocking on the door to the Ruins.
"You came back, have you forgotten the pro…" the voice on the other side of the door started.
"no, you asked me to protect the human that came through this door." Sans recalled. "that's actually why I stopped by. the kid, they're in bad shape but not because of any monster."
"What, what happened to them?" the voice inquired nervously.
"her name's Frisk, and she came to the Underground because she was looking for her older sister. another human that fell down here a long time ago." Sans explained. "you probably remember just like every other monster, the king and queen adopted a human child."
"The human child that king Asgore Dreemurr adopted? Wait, do you mean…" the voice asked in shock.
"yeah, that was the kid… no Frisk's older sister Chara. she asked me to find out about her and when she learned what happened…" Sans started. "you asked me to protect the kid but I have no idea what to do to help them now."
"That, I had no idea they…" the voice started sadly. "That poor child, her sister was…"
"yeah, if anything happened to Papyrus I don't know what it would do to me. seeing Frisk like that, it's painful." Sans agreed before the door opened and Toriel stepped out of the Ruins.
"I need to see her, do you know how far she's gotten through the Underground?" Toriel asked.
"my bro said he'd get her somewhere out of the snow, she's probably in Snowdin by now." Sans answered. "she needs people who care about her right now."
"You're right." Toriel agreed before the two of them walked away from the ruins.
"oh yeah, I know a shortcut so we can get there faster…" Sans started before pausing. "this is awkward but I don't actually know your name."
"True, my name is Toriel." Toriel explained. "What is your name?"
"Sans. nice to finally meet you." Sans grinned as he took Toriel's hand and they vanished.

"DO NOT WORRY FRISK, WE WILL BE SOMEWHERE WARM SOON AND I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL MAKE A SPECIAL PLATE OF SPAGHETTI FOR YOU." Papyrus stated while carrying Frisk into a small town. "MY BROTHER WILL BE BACK SOON."
"Huh, who's that Papyrus?" inquired the male dog Frisk had pet. "Wait, is that the puppy that pet us before?"
"It smells weird, but I remember being pet by that pup." The female dog added as Sans and Toriel suddenly appeared.
"Oh my, that was quite the shortcut." Toriel noted before seeing Frisk. "Oh, my child don't worry I'm right here for you."
"how is she paps?" Sans inquired.
"NOT WELL, SHE ISN'T RESPONDING TO ANY OF MY OFFERS AND I'M STARTING TO GET VERY WORRIED." Papyrus answered. "DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD TALK WITH UNDYNE ABOUT THIS?"
"no, to be honest Undyne probably won't be able to help much with this. I doubt any of us can do much for her." Sans admitted.
"My child, why didn't you tell me?" Toriel inquired sadly. "You're Chara's younger sister aren't you?"
"did you know Chara?" Sans asked. "Undyne told me that she got sick and died."
"yes, she got very sick and… my son died the same day." Toriel answered.
"wait, do you mean you're…" Sans started in shock.
"WHAT IS IT SANS?" Papyrus asked.
"paps, this is the queen." Sans explained before chuckling. "who would have guessed I've been sharing knock knock jokes with the queen of the Underground."
"We can discuss that once Frisk is inside." Toriel stated calmly.
"OF COURSE YOUR MAJESTY." Papyrus replied as the three of them walked into Sans and Papyrus's house and Papyrus laid Frisk down on his bed. "GET SOME REST, WE WILL BE IN THE OTHER ROOM IF YOU NEED ANYTHING."
"Chara, she never told us she had any family on the surface." Toriel explained quietly. "I should have realized it sooner."
"hey, it wasn;'t your fault. there wasn't any way you could have…" Sans started.
"No, that locket Frisk is wearing, Chara had an identical one." Toriel mentioned. "It was one of two that she never took off."
"TWO, WHY WOULD SHE WEAR TWO LOCKETS AT THE SAME TIME?" Papyrus inquired.
"one must have been to keep her sister close to her heart." Sans guessed. "though the other one…"
"The other locket was one of a pair she got with my son." Toriel revealed sadly. "They were the best of friends and when…"
"I UNDERSTAND, SAY NO MORE YOUR MAJESTY. I AM CERTAIN THAT CHARA AND THE PRINCE ARE HAPPY AND TOGETHER. AS FOR FRISK, WITH OUR HELP I AM CERTAIN SHE WILL BE BACK TO HER OLD SELF IN NO TIME." Papyrus stated calmly.
"I hope you're right, thank you Papyrus." Toriel smiled sadly.
(Toriel is at Sans and Papyrus's house with the two of them and Frisk and has revealed she is the queen. Next chapter Frisk will remember something from her life on the surface. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
