As you slowly opened your (E/c) eyes, light and color flooded your vision. The sudden light made you groan slightly.

"Ugh.." 

You realized that you had a massive headache, not quite a migraine, but close. It reminded you faintly of when you woke up from just discovering your powers. Opening your eyes all the way, the first thing you took in was the different scenery.

 For one, you were on a old favored green couch, and not in your familiar bed with it's (F/c) and blue orchids with blue butterflies on it.

 Second thing you saw was everyone around you, which included Elijah, Agrian, Rose, and surprisingly Sans. He must've been the one who saved you from Jabberjay's grasp, you smiled weakly. Putting one arm below you, you tried to push yourself up. However, you were tackled by a yellow and pink missile taking you down quickly.

"Oof!" Rose was clinging onto you for dear life as if you had just risen from the dead heh, ok that's not punny, anyways...

 You got up again in a sitting position, and wrapped your arms around your little sister. You looked down on your arm and saw that it was encased with a orange cast. 

You furrowed your eyebrows, distinctly remembering gaster had healed you. You guess that it was just in the voi- er Dreamland. That's what the button had said, right? If you were being honest, it fit, it was better than 'The Void' at least.

 Brushing that thought aside you found that both of your brothers had already stuck themselves to you, their arms around your torso. Agrian back-hugging you, and Elijah in the front with Rose.

You shifted yourself so your legs hang over the couch and touched the floor, Agrian shifted as well, and now all three of your siblings snuggled up next to you.

"(Y/n), we were so worried, when you didn't come back from your shift I almost called you" Elijah said slightly muffled from your shoulder, you rubbed his back looking up and saw Sans looking at you. Hands stuffed in the pocket of his blue jacket you decided was trademark.

  Your siblings pulled back and a question raised up, well, two... 

"How did I get here?" Sans walked up.

"Well, uh, I guess that'd be my fault, I brought you here, and my brother healed you. See the cast?" You glanced down at the bright neon orange cast and nodded. Looking back up, you glanced at your siblings.

"Alright, then how did you guys know where I was?" Agrian smiled sheepishly. 

"That's also because of Sans, he called us from the front desk and told us what happened...well, he told us Jabberjay got you..."

At the mention of his 'nickname' Elijah, Agrian, and Rose's faces go slightly dark. You interanly sighed, though you really didn't blame them. You turned to Elijah, and found him a bit apprehensive. More than one would normally be.

Hold up. He didn't... Did he? You narrowed your eyes at Elijah and he noticed right away, he looked everywhere but your eyes and bit is lip.

Let's find out.

  "Elijah, when did you get back?" Elijah flinched then tried to play it off by reaching a hand over his shoulder.

"What do you mean?" You sighed, that's all the proof you needed.

"Elijah, you went to him didn't you" Elijah bit his lip harder. Dragging his hand down, trying to keep up his charade in any way he could.

"N-No..." You shook your head sighing, showing you weren't convinced.

Elijah's face fell, scumbing to the fact that he was a bad liar.

 "Do you remember what I told you?" You lightly scolded. Elijah looked down shamefully.

 "You said that you didn't want us near him otherwise you might not be able to protect us again, but-" You put your finger on his lips silencing him. 

"No buts, I don't want to take anymore risks that have to do with your lives, I don't want to have a repeat of last time"

  Elijah nods sullenly, looking down. You sigh again and look at all three of your siblings, your eyes fill with care and worry, Rose hugs you again and the other two follow suite.

 You hug them back and at that moment thudding could be heard. It sounded like someone was stomping down stairs. You look up and just in time to see a tall, lean, and rather adorable figure come into the main floor and pose dramatically.

"I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE RETURN FROM MY SHORT REST!!" You cringe slightly at the volume of this skeleton, Papyrus, you guess.

  you recognize him from the night before when you delivered that pizza. Now getting a good look at him, you could see he's wearing a cool white chest plate, a red cape/scarf, and what looked like blue speedos. With a yellow rim at the top. 

He was also wearing bright red gloves and boots. Though his loud tone made your headache a bit worse, but it was still bearable, Sans turned to Papyrus. 

"Oh, hey bro" Your siblings let go to gape at the tall skeleton, said skeleton turned to face you and gasped.

"SANS! THE HUMAN IS AWAKE!" Sans chuckled. 

"Yep, I can see that, or, I guess I can't" He shot you a knowing look.

  You bit the inside of your cheek to avoid laughing at the bad pun, getting the inside joke. Papyrus on the other hand, looked revolted.

 "SANS!! NO!" Sans snickered and Agrian groaned quietly, Elijah was slightly smiling but still just slightly annoyed. Rose looked like she was holding laughter as well. 

"C'mon bro, you know I can joke with my eyes closed" Papyrus groaned very loudly.

"SANS! STOP BEFORE YOU INFECT THE HUMANS WITH YOUR TERRIBLE PUNS!!"

  You snickered, and Sans' smile widened. 

"I think it's to late for that bro" Just then Rose's stomach growled, and she went from almost giggling, to a rose-colored peony that glowed in the dark. You smiled. 

"Are you hungry Rose?" You asked and she nodded, embarrassed.

 "DO I HEAR SOMEONE IS HUNGRY?" Papyrus looked at the 9 year old girl in your lap and she nodded again.

"WELL THEN! I, MASTER CHEF PAPYRUS, WILL PREPARE MY FAMOUS SPAGHETTI!!" Without another word, he ran off to the kitchen, you heard the clattering of pots and pans hitting each other, the sound of rushing water, and the sound of a gas oven being turned on,

 You chuckled at his antics and Sans looked towards the kitchen, then back to you "So, uh, you feeling alright?" You smiled and nodded. 

"Yep I'm fine," From the corner of your eye you saw Elijah opening his mouth "and don't you say 'are you sure" You added, looking at Elijah. He snapped his mouth shut sheepishly to his unanswered question. Then he turned down, looking down at the floor again. You sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Elijah, I'm not mad" You started. Elijah perked up "I'm not mad, but I am slightly disappointed in you, you were in charge of Rose and Agrian, what if something happened?"

  Elijah opened his mouth to answer "But nothing did happen, it was okay!" You closed your eyes. Thinking.

"Maybe not this time, but something still could've happened. Promise you won't do anything like that again?" Elijah nodded and leaned his head on your shoulder.

Though he was slightly taller then you, so he had to bend down a bit. Sans sat on the other side of the couch and soon Papyrus came out of the kitchen with a triumphant smile on his skull. 

"HUMANS AND SANS! THE SPAGHETTI IS READY!!" Agrian rushed to the dining room where plates and silverware were already assembled.

 You smiled as the rest of your siblings followed him, mumbling under your breath "It's like I never feed them, geeze" You chuckled quietly to yourself.

 You followed your excited siblings, or Muskets. As that was your nickname you sometimes called them. Since they did most everything together, and did most of whatever you asked them to do. Because of this, you decided to called them The Three Musketeers or Muskets for short, you made it to the dining room and sat down.

  You turned to Sans who sat next to you, and while Papyrus came in with a pot full of spaghetti you couldn't resist saying:

"Bone appetite" Sans chuckled at your pun but Papyrus almost dropped the pot. 

"NYEH! IT APPEARS THAT YOU ALREADY INFECTED THE OLDER HUMAN WITH YOUR PUN DISEASE SANS!!" You snickered and Agrian groaned and shook his head.

"Actually, she's always been this way. Making puns left and right," You bit your lip to keep in your chuckles but a smile making its way onto your face all the same.

 Papyrus shook his head in disbelief and sorrow "I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU TINY HUMANS" Elijah blinked, and shook his head mumbling:

"I'm taller then (Y/n) though..." But he didn't make any further comment.

Papyrus set the pot of spaghetti and sat down, taking the serving spoon and supplying a very generous amount onto his plate. He then filled everyone else's plate with slightly smaller portions, emphasis on slightly. You took your fork and dug in, and everyone else started eating as well.

 The spaghetti was really good! The tomato sauce was a bit watery, but it was still good. You felt your head ache fade away. You saw your Muskets smiling and talking excitedly to Papyrus, Agrian taking a exceptionally big liking to the tall skeleton, as he shared his extreme dislike for puns and jokes.

After dinner you were back on the faded green couch after some debate on were everyone was staying for the night, and yes, you were saying the night at skele-bros. house, though it took a bit to convince you it was alright if you stayed for a night, it was papyrus that was the first to suggest it.

~BACKTRACK~

  You had just finished eating your dinner and were a bit tired, though what kicked it all off was when Agrian yawned. Papyrus blinked then a lightbulb seemed to switch on in his head.

 "HUMANS, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS PAST YOUR BEDTIMES! THOUGH I SEE IT'S QUITE DARK OUTSIDE, MAYBE WE COULD HAVE A SLEEPOVER?" You smiled and were about to decline when Rose caught your eye and signed.

'Sis, please? Can we stay just for the night?' You closed your mouth and put on a thoughtful expression.

  You really didn't want to burden the Skele-bros. any further, but it had gotten quite dark. And it might be safer, you did hear there was a bar close by... Someone might come from there and cause a scuffle...you didn't want to deal with that.

 "Please (Y/n)? Just for the night?" Elijah begged and Agrian was giving you a pleading look, you had to give in, you sighed.

"Are you sure it's okay?" You turned to Sans, his smile widened.

"Yep, it's fine" You take a deep breath. 

"Well, alright...if it's okay with you, then it's okay with me." The Three Musketeers looked elated. They rarely won these little arguments with you, so they couldn't have possibly resisted when they exclaimed:

"YAY!"

And:

"YESSSSS"

After a few more minutes the Muskets were situated in the spare room next to Papyrus' room. The one they previously wanted you to have, as you were the one with the cast. But they already used their persuasiveness to convince you that you would stay for the night.

So they relented and Papyrus gave you a pillow and a warm red blanket. The couch was worn but it was still comfortable, some might even say, fluffy. You closed your eyes and went into the soft darkness of Dreamland.
