OOOOO I am so ready for the next chapters now that I know what's gonna happen...

yep, you heard me. I literally JUST figured out where the story is going. Oh yes these plans are great.... 

anyways, enjoy!

Paperjam searched through all the universes he had access to. There were way too many. Some would have to be destroyed... He opened a few portals to look at the universes he had decided to leave alone. He could see why Ink wanted to protect them, but there were just so many, and someone had to keep the balance. He supposed that was his job. He closed the portal to the universe he had been looking at, which was an Outertale universe, and opened another up to an Underswap universe he had been keeping an eye on. It seemed that the three Underfell inhabitants still didn't plan in going back to their original universe anytime soon. It's probably time to take action, he thought. Which Underfell are they from?  He opened a few portals to check on a couple different Underfell universes he knew of, but stopped when he saw one that only seemed to have one person in it. Only a Papyrus? That's not right...  He opened the Underswap portal right next to that of Underfell. Time to get started. He stepped through the Underswap portal. 

None of the street lamps were on as Paper walked through Snowdin, and he was glad for the cover of darkness. Upon reaching the skeleton household, he quietly opened the door and walked in. I'm gonna need to get all three of them, or when Frisk resets, the other two will be erased from the timeline... Well, first things first. He should get Sans. Climbing quietly up the stairs, he tiptoed down the hall to Papyrus's room. Quietly opening the door, he stepped into the room and looked towards the bed, where both skeletons were sleeping. Treading lightly, he made his way over to them, careful of the trash strewn around on the floor. When he was right next to the bed, he gently grabbed hold of Red. He quickly removed the small skeleton from the larger one's embrace, and began backtracking across the room. He had almost reached the door when he stepped on a crumpled up ball of paper. The noise it made caused him jump, which caused Red to open his eyes, glancing around tiredly. He shifted, causing Paperjam to lose his balance. In the struggle to gain it back, he stepped on an empty bottle of honey and slipped, hitting the floor with a thump. Across the room, Papyrus opened one eye, and then, upon seeing the intruder, leapt out of bed and sprinted at him.

Shit. Paperjam hurriedly stood and opened a portal, launching himself and Red through it just before Papyrus could stop him. He ended up in Snowdin, in what looked to be Underfell. He quickly stood and opened another portal. Jumping through, he left Red by himself. I still gotta get the other two. He came out of the portal in the Underswap skelebros' living room, and quickly grabbed Frisk off the couch and Flowey from his place on the table. He retreated back through the portal, dragging them with him, and closed it just as Papyrus, who had been running down the stairs, reached the living room. 

He fell down onto the snow next to Frisk, exhausted. Sans was nowhere to be seen.

Whatever. It's not my problem. My work here is done. Standing up, he opened up a portal to the antivoid and left.

- - - 

Papyrus stood in the living room staring as the portal blipped out of existence. 

"red?" He asked, as if hoping for a reply from the empty space that had housed the portal.

He stepped over to the couch and shook the still-sleeping Chara's shoulder. They woke up slowly and looked around.

"Huh?"

"someone kidnapped red." Papyrus said, his voice shaking

"HUH!? WHAT?"

"i don't know. it took frisk and flowey too."

"We gotta follow them!" Chara began to get up and walk towards the door.

Papyrus stopped them. "It left through some kinda portal. wherever it went, i'm pretty sure we won't be able to find it." 

"Oh..."

"chara, you need to load your save file again. then we can stop this from happening." Papyrus told them urgently.

"I can try...." they were determined to go back, after all.

The world went red, and they found themself on a bed of golden flowers. 

"Wait... Why am I here?" Chara wondered. 

Had they gone too far back? They stood, and then walked decisively towards the doorway for the second time. They came into the room after it, and there, once more, was Temmie. They tried to trick Chara into running into their attacks again. No sirree, I'm not doing that again. They thought, dodging the bullets.

"You know what's going on here, don't you?" Temmie glared at them. "You just wanted to see me suffer... DIE!!"

Instead of trying to avoid the bullets, they just stood there, waiting for the event they knew would happen. Sure enough, the bullets were stopped just before they hit Chara, and an attack sent Temmie flying away.

Chara followed Asgore through the ruins, not really listening to what he was saying, and soon found themself alone in the hallway. Instead of waiting as they had the first time, the began to walk out of the room immediately after Asgore left. 

They walked through the rooms filled with puzzles, and solving them a second time proved to be way easier than they anticipated. When they reached the room with the dead tree, they were surprised to see that Asgore did the exact same thing he had the first time, even though they were sure they had gotten through much faster this time. 

Huh... they thought to themself. Asgore led them into his house and they wasted no time, askng him immediately how they could exit the ruins. He left again, and they followed.

The fight was also easier the second time, and they walked out into Snowdin.  There was no sign of Frisk or Flowey. Better get moving.... they thought. They had just passed a firly large limb when something strange happened. It cracked. When they whirled around to see who had caused it, they saw no one. Shrugging it off, they continued walking. It was only a small amount of time, however, before they whirled around again. Strange... they could've sworn they'd heard someone walking...

They reached the gate, but then stopped. There was someone behind them. They could feel it. 

An unidentifiable voice came from where they thought the person was. "human." They stiffened. "don't you know how to greet a new pal? turn around and shake my hand."

They slowly turned around and saw a dark figure holding out its hand. They took it and, to their surprise, a loud fart-like noise came from the stranger's hand.  The figure became more visible, and Chara was surprised to see Papyrus. He had a lazy, smug look on his face. 

"heh. the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick. it's always funny. you're a hu-" He was cut off buy Chara.

"PAPYRUSOHMYGOSHWHERESREDANDFRISKANDFLOWEY??!!" They yelled.

"how do you know my name? and who are frisk and red...? why would you want to get near a flowey?"

"You don't remember!?"

"uhhhh no...?" Papyrus looked confused. "is this some sorta prank or?"

"Ughghghghghg... You and Red even went on a date!  How do you not remember that?" 

"who's red?"

"Well, he looks like Blu- uhhh... Sans, but he's like shorter, and he has sharp teeth and one of them is gold?" Chara described. 

"sorry, buddy, i dunno anyone who fits that description." Papyrus answered.

"You're the one who told me to load the save file..."

Papyrus jumped at the phrase save file. "you can load and save?"

"Yeah."

"huh. what happened in the last timeline?"

Chara took a deep breath. "YoufoundRedinthesnowandbroughthimhomethenFriskandFloweyshowedupthenIgotoutoftheruinsforthefirsttimeandmetFriskandthenImetyouandthenBlueandthenyougotkilledbyTemmiethenFriskandIhadtoloadabunchandFloweyendedupsavingyouthenyouandRedwentonadatethenwewenttoMuffetsthenRedandFloweyandFriskgotkidnappedandyoutoldmetoloa-"

"ok, chara, that's enough. i remember." Papyrus stopped them with a worried expression on his face. "they're not here, though."

"Oh..."

Enjoy teh chappy? good.

If you don't agree with how I wrote PaperJam, please don't comment about it unless you've read their canon description. (Yeah, I did just use they/them pronouns even though I used he/him in the chapter, but they're actually genderfluid and were just male at the time...) If you haven't read their canon description, here's a link: http://aminoapps.com/page/undertale/359943/paper-jam-official-canon-bio (idk if that will work as a link, but maybe copy and paste???) idfk

 if you can tell me how to put an actual link that would be great but meh. 

Ok yeah i still probably got pj's personality wrong. maybe they would do that, maybe they wouldn't but they did in this story so

meh

Holy crap i finished this chapter on Monday you have no idea how hard it was not to post it early XD
