Trekking through snow isn't easy, especially when you're wearing short pants in the cold, not a good choice but it's better than wearing your old clothes that had little to no protection against the harsh temperatures. They were too light.

Hugging your arms tightly you continue down the snowed path, your ears trembling violently as they hung limply at the side of your head, if being in-between the rows of tall and most likely half dead trees isn't eery enough you have the constant feeling that you are being followed, paranoia is itching at your brain and scratching at your heart but determination is overpowering them.

You have to continue, like your life depends on it, well it does if you want to leave. But how can your determination protect you from whoever is behind you? The snapping of the heavy branch when you couldn't even lift it and the heavy footsteps behind you but no owner shown is proof enough. Your heart feels like it's going to burst from anticipation.

You reach a gate looking structure whose bars are too wide to be useful, but as you get there you can't move, frozen in place even. You hear the footsteps getting closer and closer until you feel the presence behind you, its gaze driving knives into your back as a cold sweat breaks out on your skin.

"H U M A N," a deep raspy voice sounds from behind you, it came from a man and sounds all too familiar but what the shit? "I S T H A T A N Y W A Y T O O G R E E T Y O U R N E W P A L?" New pal? You don't even know who the voice belongs to, "T U R N A R O U N D A N D S H A K E M Y H A N D."

Fear flows through your veins, you don't want to move but what if this person tries to attack you? You at least want to see the blow coming, won't it be easier on your soul to know who killed you? You gulp dryly, you slowly turn around, the figure is shorter than you but a shadow hides all of his features. He holds out his hand for you to take, your own hand shakes violently as you go to shake his, the air seems to be colder and has grown rather tense, what is happening?

*PPPHHHHLLLGLGGLHHT!*

A whoopie cushion? The sudden and loud sound causes you to yelp in surprise and fall on your butt, the person howls in laughter and falls on his ass as well, holding his head and stomach.

"Haahahahahaha! Y-You should see the look on your face!"

The man buckles over, still laughing at you as if he's been told the best joke ever, he's wearing a light blue jacket with a white fur hood, a white T-shirt, black basketball shorts and fuzzy pink slippers and white socks. You try to normal your breathing, clutching your chest tight, he wipes an imaginary tear from his eye socket. . .wait what?

"S-Sorry kiddo, didn't mean to rattle your bones." He chuckles.

You feel like whacking him upside his head but you are too nice, you start to laugh too (it came out staticy and glitchy but you nor him notice), the funniness of the joke finally hitting you and you both howl in laughter for a while. You two gradually stop laughing, he stands up and holds out his hand again, still giggling but more serious now.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna jump your bones again." He smiles.

You take his hand reluctantly and he pulls you up, he was stronger than he looks. Now that you were standing (and not scared half to death), you then realize he is in fact a skeleton, if the feel of his bony hand against yours wasn't clue enough, he's no taller than your chest so he's a lot shorter compared to Toriel, he has a 'cheeky' grin plastered on his face (you find it weird that his mouth doesn't move when he talks) and his sockets has small dots of white. Maybe those are his 'eyes'. He looks at you and you swear you hear him gasp, his smile faltering slightly, but his smile remains and he lets go of your hand.

"Name's Sans, Comic Sans. I'm supposed to be out hunting for humans but I'm not really into that stuff, but my brother he's a human hunting FANATIC. He's training to be in the Royal guard y'know, but he wouldn't hurt a fly- wait," he looks you over one more time, mostly stopping when he looks at your head, "you're a monster kid! You look just like a human, though I've never seen you before, monsters that looked a human would have a lot of popularity down here. Especially since word gets around pretty fast down here."

You nod slowly, he's talking a bit too fast but you try your best to understand, he chuckles at you and puts his hands in his pockets.

"You don't talk much do you? Oh well, better to crack puns." He winks with his right eye, "but anyway, you can just go through the gate, my brother built the bars too wide to stop anyone," he shrugs and walks past you through the gate, you follow soon after with slight confusion but a small smile on your face, like you can't wait to meet his brother. . .for some reason, "in fact that's him now. Quick, hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp!" He pushes you towards the lamp, you barely have enough time to hide before another voice could be heard.

"BROTHER!" The voice booms, "OF COURSE I COME BACK AND YOU ARE STILL LAZING AROUND. >LAZY BONES<, YOU HAVEN'T RECALIBRATED YOUR TRAPS IN EIGHT DAYS! WHAT IF A HUMAN COMES BY AND WE CAN'T CAPTURE IT?!?"

"Sorry bro, I've had a ton of work to do. . .a skele-ton." Sans snickers, you snicker as well but cover your mouth to stop yourself.

"SANS!!! NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOUR HORRENDOUS PUNS!!! YOU NEED THE GET BACK TO WORK!!"

"Aw come on bro, you're working me-"

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!!"

"Down to the bone." You snicker once again, Sans is on a roll.

"SANS!!!!"

"Oh come on bro, you're smiling."

"I KNOW, AND I HATE IT!"

You zone out for the rest of the conversation while trying to peek from behind the lamp, trying desperately you manage to see who Sans is talking too, another skeleton only much taller. Unlike Sans, his bones look more defined, like an actual human skeleton, and he was big-boned in a sense. He's wearing silver armor and a red scarf around his neck, blue tights with a gold belt, black body lengthed skin tight- bone tight clothing thing that knights wear under their armor (you can't remember the name at the moment) and large red boots and gloves. He's at least a head taller than you, you can't help but stare, especially at his hip bones that are showing above his pants. He looks handsome, his bones are a pristine white and almost look glossy, he looks like an actual knight. You wouldn't mind running off into the sunset with him, even if he is a skeleton.
The only thing that seems off about him is his teeth, instead of Sans whose teeth are square-like, his teeth are fanged and sharp, hell it's like the first six of his upper front teeth are fused together and overlap his bottom lip(?) in a pointy manner, and his sockets are large, elongated and blank but warm. Very warm. To you he was handsome, pretty, cute and another word you couldn't place, what was it?. . .oh yeah! SEXY!

"AND SANS, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT GIGGLING LAMP," you freeze, oh crap he heard you, "ITS VERY DISTRACTING (ALTHOUGH THE GIGGLES ARE VERY CUTE). NOW I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL BE OFF TO MY PUZZLES, AND DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU LAZING AROUND AGAIN." The other skeleton- Papyrus walks off with a sway in his hips, man if you weren't straight you would've want to hold those hip bones in your hands and see what reaction you could get out of him. Wait. . .you are straight, right. . ?

How could you not know if you were gay or not?? Well you forgot that you were a damn Neko so that's a thing.

"You can come out now," Sans says, you walk out from behind the lamp with a slight blush, he chuckles at you and motions for you to come closer, "you like him don't you?" He smirks.

You pout at him but blush furiously.

*You tell him he's seeing things.

"Oh, you're actually mute. . .I may be seeing things but these sockets never lie," he winks, "anyway, I don't know if you were paying attention to me and my brother just now (*cough* or just my brother *cough*) but you see my bro's been a bit down in the dumps lately because well he's never seen a human before and the only way for him to get into the Royal guard is for him to catch one and I was wondering if you could help out," he walks over to a wooden sentry station and rummages through some things under the counter, returning with something in his hand, "since you look one, could you just pretend to be human for a little longer?" Its a hat in his hand (more specifically a beanie) and he holds it out for you," this should cover those ears of yours. So whadyasay? Gonna help out an old bag of bones trying to make his skelebro happy?"

*You tell him you'll do it, you'll make his brother happy.

"Great!" You take the hat, its the same color as your hair, and it's a perfect fit but smells oddly of ketchup and mustard, "you should go ahead now before he comes back otherwise you'll have to suffer through more puns." He winks again.

*Knowing you're going to meet the Great (and sexy) Papyrus again fills you with determination.

You nod and go up the path the brother went off in, meeting both of them soon after. Apparently Papyrus LOVES puzzles, if he could he would marry one. You go through a lot of the puzzles the brothers made for you. Some are shocking, one's lazily done (Sans' own) and others remind you of tic tac toe, you fight dogs too. You are convinced that some of them are blind.

One named Doggo, who has a habit of smoking dog treats, and has to keep moving his eyes suspiciously to see you. Or anything that can move for that matter. . .or maybe he's smoking so much that it's affecting his vision and attention span.

Dogamy and Dogaressa both have one eye, and they have to rely on smell only which works out in your favor, but now you smell like a weird dog.

Greater and Lesser dog aren't that much of a problem, they only want to be pet. It's adorable really. You were scared to pet Lesser after a while, his neck kept getting longer and longer.

A while later you stumble upon a town called Snowdin, a cozy little town whose occupants don't seem to mind the fact that a newcomer has appeared, even though the barrier is up and no one can get in or out. Papyrus said that you won't be able to get to the next part of the Underground unless you 'go through him', which means you had to FIGHT him. You don't want to but you have to, maybe you could convince him to SPARE you.

You are on the outer skirts of the town when a fog picks up, you can barely see in front of you, hugging yourself again to keep in any warmth. A dark silhouette appears before you, you don't even have to look twice before you know who it was.

"HUMAN," Papyrus says, "SO YOU HAVE DECIDED TO FIGHT ME AFTER ALL EVEN AFTER I WARNED YOU OF HE CONSEQUENCES, NO MATTER I WILL HAVE YOUR SOUL THEN I COULD FINALLY BE PART OF THE ROYAL GUARD AND BECOME EXTREMELY POPULAR! NYEH HEHE HEHE."

He FIGHTs you like the monsters in the ruins, or any other monster in fact, his attacks are bones of course. Blue bones too, you have remembered how to dodge blue attacks way before Sans had told you but how? You don't remember going through it before you came here but it just feels so natural to not move when they are involved. You ACT and ACT until you see an option saying FLIRT, you could FLIRT with a skeleton, who knew?

You decide to try out this option.

"Y-YOU'RE F-FLIRTING WITH ME??" A bright orange blush dusts his cheek bones, bringing his cuteness level 9000+, "TH-THAT MUST MEAN YOU WANT TO GO ON A. . .D-DATE WITH ME!" He squeals.

The rest of the fight is rather hilarious to be honest, he keeps dabbing and spraying 'beauty products' behind his 'ears' and this random dog showed up, you think he called it Annoying Dog (wasn't that the same one that was in the death bridge scene?). He decides to SPARE you which is a relief, you were at 2HP and barely standing, he's a lot stronger than he looks.

"NYEH HEHE HEHE HEHE! YOU FOUGHT WELL HUMAN, THOUGH YOU SEEMED A BIT DISTRACTED (AND HOLDING BACK FOR SOME REASON), IT WAS AN EXCELLENT BATTLE- OH, ARE YOU OKAY? YOU DON'T LOOK SO WELL," he catches you in his bony arms just before you faceplant in the snow, if you weren't so tired you would be fangirling (or fanboying?) right now but the most you can do is blush, "DON'T WORRY, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE HOME OF MY BROTHER AND I SO WE CAN PREPARE FOR OUR DATE LATER!" He yells.

Is shouting a normal thing for him? Oh well, his voice is music to your ears so you could care less how loud he is as long as he keeps talking. He picks you up bridal style, you squeak in surprise and blush harder, he 'Nyeh hehe hehe's all the way to his house which is a large wooden cabin. He kicks the door down like the main character in an action movie and walks in dramatically.

"BROTHER!! I'M HOME!!!!!!" But no one came, "HMM, HE MUST NOT BE HOME AS OF YET."

Inside is just as cozy as the town itself, there's a table with a rock on it to your right, a large TV and a green sofa in front of you and a staircase that leads to upstairs. He walks over to the couch and puts you down gently so you are lying down, you sigh feeling yourself sink into the plush cushions, he chuckles again and places his left hand on his chest while puffing his chest again.

"NYEHEHE! THE GREAT PAPYRUS MUST PREPARE HIS FAMOUS SPAGHETTI TO GET YOUR HP BACK UP TO NORMAL LEVELS!! I WILL BE BACK SHORTLY!!" He runs off into another doorway to what you assume to be the kitchen.

You giggle slightly at the hyper active skeleton, his enthusiasm making you feel giddy inside, you decide to get comfortable on the couch, 2HP is rather tiring and you're feeling light headed too.

"Y-YOU'RE F-FLIRTING WITH ME??"

Your eyes open wide, when did Papyrus get back without you hearing him? And why is he repeating what he said before?

"TH-THAT MUST MEAN YOU WANT TO GO ON A. . .D-DATE WITH ME!"

You look around the room and Papyrus is definitely not here yet you can still hear his voice like he's right next to you. You sat up carefully, holding the side that has the gash from before, you peep into the kitchen and seeing Papyrus humming away at the stove stirring something in a large pot with the fire up waaaaaayy too high. You tilt your head to side as you stare a while longer, wondering why you could hear his voice from all the way out here. Especially things he's already said.

"NYEH HEHE HEHE HEHE! YOU FOUGHT WELL HUMAN, THOUGH YOU SEEMED A BIT DISTRACTED (AND HOLDING BACK FOR SOME REASON), IT WAS AN EXCELLENT BATTLE- OH, ARE YOU OKAY? YOU DON'T LOOK SO WELL,"

You feel a slight vibration on your wrist, you look at Bugle and see he's glowing a bit brighter than usual, he's the source of the vibrations too.

"DON'T WORRY, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE HOME OF MY BROTHER AND I SO WE CAN PREPARE FOR OUR DATE LATER!" Bugle toots.

Bugle toots. . .the flower speaks? Well you have met a talking flower before so this isn't that much of a surprise to you. In fact you are amazed at this flower, unlike the yellow one, he's fascinating and you have no desire to kill him.

"WOWIE!! AN ORANGE ECHO FLOWER? HOW RARE!" Papyrus steps back into the room holding a plate of steaming hot spaghetti, he sits beside you with a curious aura, keeping his sockets on your wrist, "COULD IT BE THAT YOU CAN USE MAGIC AS WELL? ECHO FLOWERS ARE GROWN HERE, NOT CONJURED. THAT'S HOW I GOT MINE," he brings out his right hand and pulls up his glove just enough to show his wrist which has a (f/c) version of Bugle. You are astonished and grab ahold of his wrist to get a better look at it.

"YOU LIKE IT, HUMAN? (I TRIED TO MAKE IT ORANGE BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN)." He seems a bit self conscious now that you're staring at it so intently.

*You tell him you like it anyway.

"YOU DO!!! WOWIE!!" He blushes more and smiles wider.

He gives you the plate of spaghetti, placing the plate on your lap, it isn't as hot as you thought it was. You take up the fork and twirl some of the food on it, putting the fork in your mouth your face scrunches up automatically, the taste is indescribable. His sockets gleams in happiness that you ate his spaghetti, the cute look he gives you is enough to make you blush and also not want to make it go away so you force a smile on your face as you eat. At least your HP is going up, right?

After you finish the. . .interesting dish, Papyrus squeals and hugs you tight, the sudden contact makes you blush again, he's warm even though he doesn't have any skin or muscle, he lets go quicker than you wanted and runs to the kitchen with the dirty plate in hand. Just then Sans came rolling through the door, literally, like he did a failed somersault and skidded on his face, the door slamming in from a sudden gust of cold air. You fight the urge to snicker, the faceplant has your stomach hurting from not laughing, and a big smile tries to crawl on your face.

"My fall wasn't that humerous y'know," he says as he gets up slowly, dusting his clothes off with a grunt, "oh I never did catch your name."

*You tell him your name is Y/N, although you were still laughing from his fall.

"Man, did I really tumble down your funny bone that bad Y/N?" He winks again.

You burst in a fit of laughter, buckling over into the couch and clutching your sides.

"BROTHER!!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE HUMAN??!?!" Papyrus yells from the kitchen.

"Nothing! But I'm doing a-"

"DON'T YOU DARE!!"

"Sansational job at it." He snickers.

"AUUUGH!!" There's a small clatter from the kitchen but he says he was okay.

You calm down a little from the sudden sneak attack of puns, still giggling here and there, Sans sits on the other end of the couch when you sit up, still smirking of course. You wipe an imaginary tear from your eye and take a deep breath.

*You tell him you like his puns although they're really corny.

"Well they do say I'm the Pop of corny puns." He winks again.

You snicker hard and hold your hand to your mouth, he's obviously enjoying himself.

"SANS!!!" Papyrus says walking out of the kitchen, "YOU WILL NOT INFECT THE HUMAN WITH YOUR PUN CONTAGION," he takes your hand and gently pulls you off the couch, "I WILL TAKE THEM TO MY ROOM WHERE THEY'LL BE SAFE AND AWAY FROM YOU. LETS GO HUMAN, WE HAVE A DATE TO PLAN!"

"Hehe sure Paps." Sans shrugs.

Wait did he say his room????

He tugs you up the stairs with skip in his step, you look back at Sans with a confused look, you swear you see a hint of blue flash from his left eye but it's gone too quick for you to make sure. He flashes you a soft grin and salutes.

Papyrus opens a door colored with warning tags and pushes you inside, it's dark so you can't see anything only the faint outlines of furniture, you hear the door click behind you and the light from outside disappears.

"OH DON'T WORRY, HUMAN, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WON'T HURT YOU." For some reason you feel a shiver go up your spine, and the fact that you're in the dark in an unknown room only makes it worse. . .

*You feel your determination waver.
