Chapter 23

As they walked along, they made their way into tall grass. Sans suddenly shushed everyone and pointed. They looked over and listened in.

The figure was talking to itself. Suddenly, papyrus showed up and talked to them.

"Hi undyne, I'm here with my daily report! Uh, regarding the humans I talked about earlier... Huh? Did I fight them? Yes, I did! Valiantly! Huh? Did I capture them? W-well... No. I tried very hard. But in the end... I failed."

Kara strained to hear.

"What! Your going to take their souls yourself? B-but undyne, you don't have to destroy them! You see-"

The figure, undyne, turned to look at him. Papyrus stumbled back a few steps.

"... I understand" papyrus said sadly. "I'll assist you in any way I can"

And then he walked off.

Mia sneezed.

Undyne froze at the noise. They slowly walked towards the bush. Everyone held their breath.

Undyne waited a few seconds, but turned and walked away. Kara breathed out slowly, covered in a fear-induced sweat.

"Yo, did you see the way she stared at you? That was awesome!" A voice suddenly shouted. Kara jumped, to see the monster kid from earlier.

"I'm so jealous, how'd you get her attention?"

Kara stayed frozen. Sans reassuringly held her hand.

"C'mon, let's go watch her beat up bad guys!" The kid ran a few steps, before falling on his face. Kara's face contorted in worry and she ran to help him up.

"Are you OK, kid?"

The kid blinked at her before grinning toothily. "I'm fine!" And running ahead.

Naruto went to heal at a restoration star, and the rest emerged from the tall grass, muttering.

Sans put his hand on Kara's shoulder. "You OK? You still look a little... Shaken up"

Kara smiled. "Its fine, I'm just cold"

"Oh" sans said, before taking off his jacket and slinging it over her. He shut her mouth to stop her protests, and beckoned the rest to follow him as he walked ahead.

Mia noticed how red Kara's face was, and elbowed her. When kara glared at her, she wiggled her eyebrows "and you guys call me the lovestruck one"

Kara whimpered and buried her face into the jumper. Mia laughed and hit her on the back. Kara just blushed and avoided mias face. Eventually she got bored and kicked up a conversation with naruto.

When they got into the next room, they saw a large patch of water that blocked the path, with 4 water-lily looking things beside it. A sign sat on the floor and kara read it aloud.

"When four bridge seeds align, they sprout"

"Oh, I know how to do this" sans said thoughtfully, picking up the 'seeds' and stood at the waters edge. With careful precision, he threw one. It landed next to the other bank. He threw the rest, and suddenly they grew.

A bridge made of flower petals now covered the waters surface.

Sans laughed at everyones surprised expressions, before stepping out onto a petal and traversing the makeshift bridge.

When they got to the next side kara grabbed sans' arm. "If we find another one of those I get to do the next one!"

Sans laughed and pushed her off. "Yeah, sure"

Suddenly, a large seahorse crossed their path. It had..... Abs? The fuk?

Sans stood in front of everyone, smiling. "Stand back, I needed to practice anyway"

"What do you-" kara began, but stopped when she saw sans' blue eye begin to glow.

The seahorse tried to attack sans, who easily dodged. He raised his hand, and gravity was altered. The seahorse slammed into the ceiling. It quickly ran away, and sans returned gravity to normal.

"Hey, your eye" naruto said "its like mine"

Sans paused, then turned to look at naruto. "What?"

"Huh? Nothing!" Naruto covered up hastily. Sans eyed him carefully, but shrugged it off. His eye stopped glowing.

When they got to the next room, it was another bridge puzzle. Kara grinned, and ran forwards, picking up a bridge seed.

Sans hung back, watching.

She observed the puzzle for a second, before throwing the seed. The grabbed the others.

After throwing them, a bridge grew. Sans clapped. "Nice work"

"Thanks" kara muttered bashfully, crossing the bridge.

Suddenly, naruto got a phone call. He accepted. Papyrus' voice boomed out.

"Hello this is papyrus! I just wanted to ask something.. For a friend.... Are you still wearing that stripy shirt?"

"Uh yeh, why?"

"No reason, thank you!" Papyrus hung up.

"What was that all about?" Naruto asked, before slipping the phone back into his pocket.

"He was probably asking for undyne" Rebecca deduced.

"And you told him the truth" Clarence added.

Naruto paused to consider this before hanging his head.

"Shit"
