Chapter 3: Sans and Papyrus

Flowey: Oh so we are going there, are we? Watch your back Frisk, and Blue? Don't believe everything Miss Goody Two Shoes tells you

I decided to ignore the aggressive flower as we walked past him, but something tells me that what he said.....had meaning.....

But should I really trust a flower....and not my friend? That would be ridiculous of me.

Frisk tries to push the doors to the next part of the Underground and I help her with not much difficulty. We walk through and found ourselves at a forest.....a snowy forest?

Now that is strange, how did snow get in here?

Blue: Snow?

Frisk: Yes, don't question it though

Blue: Too late for that
_______________

Frisk's POV
_______________

We continue walking ahead in the snowy forest, because of our surroundings, Blue began to look around, he liked snow a lot. I didn't feel Sans near us yet but I got ready for his appearance for when he decides to show up.

I felt a little bit cold and Blue must've noticed because he took off his coat and wrapped me with it.

Frisk: B-Blue! You're going to get cold!

Blue: I don't mind the cold, you're shivering so it would be better if you had it

Frisk: O-Oh....thank you

I couldn't help but blush from his kind gesture, even if Blue didn't sound like it, he cared about my wellbeing. He was always a nice person but only showed it through actions.

Chara: Ack! Don't tell me you like him?

Frisk: C-Chara! He is my friend!

Chara: Sure sure, says the girl who flirts with anything that is breathing

I blushed even harder because she was right in a way, I do kind of flirt with almost everyone. I ignore her and continue walking, once I felt warmer, I gave Blue his coat back because I didn't want to have it for long, the coat is special for him.

Whoever left him at the orphanage, had left that same coat with him. So he keeps it with him at all times, as a good luck charm in a way, eventually we passed the wooden stick on the floor that Sans would break, just to scare us.

When he did, Blue immediately turned around, with his magic shield out, that was still a mystery because it just comes out of his hand. I have never seen him do this before so why is it happening now? Is it because he is in the Underground?

Blue: Did you hear that?

Frisk: Let's just keep moving

Chara: Can he make a weapon with this magic?

Frisk: I don't know, why?

Chara: If he can, then he can stab the comedian in the face with it

Frisk: First of all, we aren't going to make him do that. Secondly.....I don't know if Blue can land a hit on him

Chara: It isn't impossible

Frisk: Still, we aren't doing that

We continue to move ahead until we reached the small wooden bridge, that's when Sans appears behind us.

Sans: Hey humans......don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand

Blue unequips the shield and turns around, he shakes Sans' hand, unaware that he was a skeleton. As usual, the whopee cushion goes off and Blue is left with perplexed look, I try not to laugh while I can hear Chara groan in annoyance.

Sans: Heheh... the old whopee cushion in the hand trick. It's ALWAYS funny.

Blue:.....I am confused

Sans: Same here friend, didn't expect two humans to come down, that's hilarious. I'm Sans, Sans the skeleton.

Frisk: H-Hello Sans, I'm Frisk....and this is my friend Blue

Sans: Oh so you're friends huh? I'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now. But, you know, I don't really care about capturing anybody. Now my brother, Papyrus, he is a human hunting fanatic

Blue: He hunts humans?

Sans: Yeah but don't worry, he is a cool dude, actually, I think that's him ahead. Now come along, you two must be lost......right?

Sans looks dead in my eyes and I felt my sins crawling on my back, he walks ahead and ushers Blue to walk besides him. I walk behind them because I know that Sans still has a problem with me, once we were ahead, Sans stopped.

Sans: Hey, hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp

Blue was confused but I grab his hand and bring him to the side, I hide behind the lamp (still is a mystery to this day) while Blue hides in the snow. Then, along comes Papyrus, the brother of Sans.

Sans: Sup Bro?

Papyrus: You know what, sup brother! It's been eight days and you still haven't recalibrated your puzzles! You just hang around outside your station! What are you even doing?!

Sans: Staring at this lamp, it's really cool, want to look?

Papyrus: What? No! I don't have time for that Sans! We must find a human if one comes through here! I WILL BE THE ONE! I MUST BE THE ONE! I WILL CAPTURE A HUMAN! THEN, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS! WILL GET ALL THE THINGS I UTTERLY DESERVE!

Chara: Oh my God, someone shut him up before I do it!

Papyrus: Respect! Recognition! I will finally be able to join the Royal Guard! People will finally ask to be my friend!

Blue: I would be your friend

Papyrus: Who said that?!

Sans: I think it was the lamp

Papyrus: Sans you're not helping! You're getting lazier by the day!

Sans: Hey that's not true, I've done loads of work....a skele-ton!

Papyrus: AGH!

Papyrus leaves and then I left the Lamp, Blue copied my actions and stood up from the snow, patting any of it off his clothes.

Sans: See? Harmless

Blue: Your brother is an intersting skeleton

Sans: Yeah, who would want to hurt him? Right?

Frisk: R-Right.....

Sans: By the way, did you really mean it? When you said you would be Papyrus' friend?

Blue: Of course, the only friend I have even made was Frisk

Sans: I see, well you seem like a good kid so I approve of you.

Sans walks ahead and tells us that he will meet us in a bit, me and Frisk walk forward and find Sans and his brother Papyrus talking. Knowing Sans, he was going to show us to his brother to make him happy, I didn't mind because it seems that Papyrus has been waiting for this moment.

Sans: Hey bro, look over there

Papyrus: It's a rock Sans!

Sans: Yeah but what's that near the rock?

Papyrus: [Le Gasp] Are those humans?!

Sans: Sure looks like it Paps

Papyrus: Oh my God I have to get ready....Ahem....HUMANS! I! THE GREAT PAPYRUS! WILL CAPTURE YOU! BUT FIRST!

Frisk: You want us to solve your puzzles?

Papyrus: YES! VERY SMART OF YOU HUMAN!

Blue: I don't know what's going on anymore

Frisk: We have to pass the-

Papyrus: Behold! My invisible electricity maze! When you hold this orb in my hand, you will get electrocuted if you walk the wrong way!

Blue: Don't you need to give us the orb?

Papyrus: Oh right! One moment!

He walks over to us and gives Frisk the orb, he accidentally leaves his footprints behind which meant we can pass without being harmed.

Papyrus: What?! They passed?! The humans are smarter than I thought

Chara: Maybe you're just dumber!

Frisk: Chara......

Blue: Did you say something Frisk?

Frisk: N-No

Papyrus: Quick Sans! To the next puzzle!

The two skeleton brothers head to the next puzzle that the seemingly younger brother had for us, we follow after them and find a search puzzle. Papyrus tells us that it is impossible while Sans gives us his own opinion.

Sans: I actually think a crossword would've been better

Papyrus: What? Don't be ridiculous Sans! The Junior Jumble is much harder and requires more skill!

Sans: Why don't we ask the humans?

Papyrus: Right! Humans! What is harder?!

Frisk: The Junior Jumble?

Blue: Aren't Crosswords harder?

Frisk: Just go with it Blue

Blue:....The Jumble is most definitely harder

Papyrus: Hah! See! The humans agree!

Papyrus seems to forget to test us on the Jumble and runs to the right for whatever test he has left for us. Papyrus is a hyper and not very bright skeleton, but Sans is correct on the fact that he is a good person.

I've been noticing that Sans had been looking at Frisk most of the time, he bore a smile but evil intentions were behind it. I don't know why he has a problem with her but I plan to ask him about it later.

The next puzzle we had was a plate of spaghetti on a table.

Blue: What do we have to do here? Eat frozen spaghetti?

Frisk: It's actually meant to deter us from advancing, so we can just walk ahead.....unless you're hungry

Blue:......I am not

Frisk: [Giggles] Then let's move on!

We walk further into the snowy forest until we reached a floor of red tiles, on the opposite side was Papyrus, Sans and some sort of terminal.

Papyrus: Behold! The Multicolor Tile Puzzle! When I activate the machine, the tiles will be all sorts of different colours!

Frisk: Each tile will activate something and they will keep changing.....but you won't have to worry

Blue: Why?

Papyrus activates the terminal and the tiles were different colours, however, a problem occurs and then they all change to pink. If I remember correctly, the pink tiles mean that we can walk on it with no repercussions.

After some back and forth, we made it to what I assumed was the last challenge or puzzle. We arrived at a bridge and in the distance was a castle. It was far away but I assumed we had to go there at one point. Then we hear laughter and looked in front of us to see Papyrus.

Papyrus: You have made it human! Now prepare yourself as I reveal the Gauntlet of Deadly Terror!

Out comes many different things such as a spiky ball tethered by chains, two spears, a dog, an oil drum fire pit, and a cannon.

Sans: Hey, hows it hanging?

Papyrus: No time for puns, Sans!

Blue: I.....I am speechless, why is there a dog hanging above us?

Frisk: Haha, don't question it Blue

Papyrus: Now listen here humans! The gauntlet is supposed to activate when I say a certain word! So get ready!

But then Papyrus pauses and decided to retract the puzzle since he considers it too straightforward and easy to capture us with, and he wants it to be fair....how nice of him.

Papyrus: I have standards! Nyeh heh heh heh!

He runs away and we follow him, so far we haven't really been tested but all of this is amusing. Sans tells me that we were going to be at Snowdin Town. I was curious at what the town looked like because we have only see the Ruins and this forest so far.

However I also had the feeling that Papyrus wouldn't be done with us, he will try again later to capture us and I wonder how that will go.
_____________

Frisk's POV
_____________

We were now in Snowdin and I could feel that Sans was staring into my soul, Blue was looking around and Sans noticed my nervousness and turned to Papyrus.

Sans: Hey Paps, why don't you show Blue around? I got to talk to Frisk over here

Papyrus: Oh so those are your names? Well worry not Friend Blue! The Great Papyrus will be the ultimate tour guide!

Blue: I see, lead the way

Papyrus: Straight to the point! I like that!

The two leave and Sans walks into another direction, he ushers me to follow him so I did. We ended up behind Snowdin and once there was no one in sight, Sans used his magic to lift me up and throw me against a tree.

He holds me there and just looks on while I struggle in his magical grasp, I could feel the murderous intent behind his actions.

Sans: So another reset huh? What are your plans this time kiddo? Genocide? Neutral? How long has it been actually? Since you did the true pacifist run?

Frisk: S-Sans! Please stop!

Sans: How about no? Is the demon with you as well?

Right on cue, Chara decides to show herself by appearing next to the tree I was currently being held against. She just smiles at Sans, his eye sockets were now pure black and he stared back at her. He lets go of me and I fall down to the ground, Chara helps me up and turns her attention back to Sans.

Chara: Greetings comedian

Sans: How many have you killed so far?

Chara: Would you be surprised if I said none?

Sans: I would, then again, we got the new kid here with us, what's his deal? None of us have seen him before.

Frisk: H-He is my friend, he wasn't meant to follow me but he did, now he is stuck with us.

Sans: Interesting, he isn't apart of your schemes right? If so then I will have to kill him myself

Frisk: N-No don't!

Chara: The boy doesn't know anything, he didn't even know he can use that Shield thing. And he doesn't know about me and the timelines

Sans: I see, then I'll make sure he is safe.....from the both of you

Frisk: Sans he is my friend! I'm not going to hurt him!

Sans: I'm not sure about that, how many of your friends have you hurt before? Me? Papyrus? Undyne? Alphys?

Frisk: This is different! He is my best and only friend on the surface! I would never hurt him!

Sans: I see.....well I'll be keeping my eye on you, no funny business

Chara: Oh don't worry, we won't try anything.....yet at least~

Sans: Hah, oh you're funny, you know that? But my funny bone isn't in the mood right now.

Sans walks away and I felt a heavy weight on my shoulder, disappear.

Chara: Are you okay?

Frisk: T-That was....intense, he has never done that before at this stage of a run

Chara: Yeah, at least it's something different, now come, we need to move on

Frisk: Right....
______________

Blue's POV
______________

Papyrus: And this is our wonderful Christmas tree!

Blue: That's nice, how do you know when it's Christmas?

Papyrus: We don't!

Blue: Fair enough, shall we go back?

Papyrus: Of course! Oh look! Sans is back!

Sans was walking towards us but Frisk wasn't there, I was confused so I confronted the shorter skeleton.

Blue: Sans, where is Frisk?

Sans: Oh she is just doing something right now, she should be coming back now

Blue: Okay, did you talk about anything important?

Sans: Nah, not really. So what do you think about Snowdin?

Blue: I like it, I wouldn't mind living here

Papyrus: Wow really?!

Blue: Of course, it's snowing and it's peaceful. Everyone is nice here as well.

Sans: Thinking of living here?

Blue: Unfortunately no, I need to get back to the surface because I have my own home

Sans: Have a nice house and family?

Blue: I live in the orphanage actually

Sans: Oh.....damn, I'm sorry kid

Papyrus: An orphanage?

Sans: It's where kids with no parents or family live

Papyrus: Oh that sounds terrible!

Blue: You don't have to be sorry, I'm fine with where I live. It's the only home I have ever known and the caretakers are very nice

Sans: Damn, really? What if someone wants to adopt you?

Blue: That isn't a concern because they keep rejecting me

Sans: Bit rude no? You're just a kid

Blue: It's fine, I'm not bothered, now where is Frisk? I thought she would've come back now

Frisk: I'm here!

Blue: Oh you're back

Frisk: Y-Yes, just had to sort out something, do you want to move on?

Blue: Actually, let us see what there is to do first

Frisk: Oh okay, that's fine

Sans: I'm going to go do my own thing

Papyrus: And I will wait for the both of you at the end! I still have to capture you!

Papyrus runs off and Sans just vanishes, it was just me and Frisk now in the middle of Snowdin. We walked around and talked with the other monsters, they were nice and didn't try to attack us or anything.

Frisk was feeling hungry but surprisingly, I wasn't. We decided to head to a place called Grillby's and get some food from there. The man behind the bar was on fire but it seems to be natural for him.

He was quiet just like me and a nice person, Frisk got a burger and fries while I just had some water. Snowdin was a really nice place and I was confused on why Toriel didn't want us to go.

Then again, she could be referring to the other places of the Underground, such as the end where we will most likely meet this Asgore. He was the king and clearly holds strength far greater than mine or Frisk.

I wasn't sure on how we can get passed him but with Frisk's determination, I'm sure we can. But another question came into my head, who else is there?

What other monsters will we encounter that will try and stop us? When I was with Papyrus, he mentioned that he wanted to join the Royal Guard, and there was a captain.

Her name was Undyne and I knew that she would want to capture us....or kill us. My question was why but I had a feeling that we will know.....and we will also encounter her.

And who else would come after us? Who will we have to fight and potentially spare? I have this strange magic that I have never seen before and I think it is best if I study and expand it. I'll definitely need it for the future.

Frisk: Alright, I'm done, thanks Grillby!

Grillby: No problem

I just nod my head at the gentle flaming man and he nods in returns, we left after paying before deciding that it was best to move on. We walked to the other side of Snowdin and once we left the town, it started to get foggy.

However, I could see Papyrus ahead of us, he was looking at us and I knew what this meant.

Papyrus: Humans.....get ready, for I, The GREAT PAPYRUS! Will capture you and seal my place into the Royal Guard!
