"CLASSIC!!!! WHY HAVE YOU USED THE MACHINE? ALL OF US THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE MESSING WITH IT?"

"heh, i was but the machine is the only way he could come back blue. i thought to use it one more time before i ultimately shut it down."

Nova felt herself grow sad as she saw the utter hopelessness and despair seep from his bones. Nova quickly got out of Blue's hold as she raced over to Classic and hugged him for dear life. Her gaze shifted upward to see him looking down at her with surprise and confusion but his earlier emotions were still in his eye lights. So she spoke with conviction and DETERMINATION.

"D-D-Don't l-lose H-H-HOPE!!!!! You c-can do a-a-anything you put your mind too!!!! You can save him!!!!"

She gave him a look of utter DETERMINATION and HOPE. She knew that Gaster can leave the Void and you can bet that she will help save him before she goes home!!!!

Nova felt as Classic hugged back as she saw the HOPE in his eye lights but it was fragile at best. But Nova knew that Gaster can come back, Classic just needs to have HOPE and FAITH. Nova gave him a bright smile while she felt her cheekbones gain a slight blue hue from the embarrassment of earlier.

"heh, thanks kid. i really needed that."

She smiled at him as he picked her up gently. She looked at everyone else and saw that everyone was staring at her with soft eye sockets. She let out a 'eep' as she put her face to Classic's t-shirt and felt the magical blush grow when she heard their laughter. She burrowed deeper into his shirt as she felt embarrassment run through her being.

"Soooooo, who's the little tyke? Did one of you finally do the deed with someone?"

"PAPY!!!! DON'T BE RUDE!!!!!"

Nova looked up slightly to see Blue berating Stretch for the presumingly rude question. She held Classic's shirt tighter as she looked at them curiously. She felt a deep sense of longing when she saw how close they were. Nova had two other friends that she practically saw as sisters back in her old life but sadly one of them was murdered by a 'friend'.

The memories of the past have long since started to fade as Nova stayed longer in her new home but she could never hate it as the past is meant to be moved on from. But Nova could never forget the bonds that she held deep in her SOUL.

Nova shook her head as she saw herself back in the living room. Damn, she must have been deep in her thoughts for her to not notice the surroundings. Nova mentally shrugged as she looked around more. Classic still held her to her utter bafflement but she ignored it for now as she was more curious of her surroundings at the moment than Classic's weird hugging issue.

"HELLO LITTLE ME!!!!"

Nova jolted slightly as she turned to see Blue crouching infront of her while both Stretch and Papyrus talked in the background. She gave Blue a curious look while turning fully to him. She saw Blue give a smile as he summoned a mini Gaster Blaster. Nova was immediately captivated as she tried to hug it but it moved out of her reach before she could. Pouting, she tried again but it moved again.

She pouted at Blue who slightly smirked before smiling again. Nova felt indignation in her soul when she saw the smirk.

'This MotherLover is messing with me!!!!!'

Nova gave a deeper pout as she turned away and cuddled into Classic while ignoring Blue in the process. Deep chuckles and 'Mweh heh heh heh's' rang around her while she tried to ignore the rising blush on her cheek bones.

"Awe, Come On Little Me!!!! It's Just A Game!!!!"

"yeah, blue is just lifting your spirits."

Nova couldn't tell if that was a joke, pun, or something else. From what little she can tell, Blue seemed to be on the same page as her. Nova gave Classic a confused look but went back to Blue who seemed to be whispering to the little Gaster Blaster. Nova dubbed it 'Blasty' to the homage of a book that also had a Gaster Blaster mini.

Blasty seemed to huff then flew up to her. She gave a happy squeak as she hugged Blasty who cuddled up to her. She hummed happily as she petted and hugged the mini Gaster Blaster.

"you certainly seem more joy-ntful now."

Nova tilted her head in confusion at the word play while she heard both Papyrus and Blue groan slightly while Stretch chuckled.

"W-W-What d-do you m-m-m-mean?"

Nova literally felt confused but then again in both of her lives she was always confused with jokes as everyone she ever knew never cracked a joke. Sure, a joke or pun will be told but she never heard a lot of them. Her Dad cracked many space puns and jokes dealing with space of which she knew jokes about that but any other joke? Yeah, she's lost on other jokes. She saw Sans chuckle as he rubbed her head slightly. She pouted up to him as he chuckled more loudly but soon let loose a yelp as she felt herself being picked up.

She looked to see Blue giving her star blue eye sockets with a natural smile on his face. She tilted her head as he let loose a chuckle and then started to run around the room with her riding his shoulders. She held tightly for a moment but ultimately loved the feeling of wind flying around her to which to let loose some squeals of laughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stretch watched his older brother and the younger version of his brother run around the room. Stretch found himself relaxing as he watched the show of his cool brother playing with the babybones version of him.

It was nice to see his brother so happy and free. Blue may try with all his might to hide something, but he still is a Sans only with a Papyrus' personality. Sans are notorious bad liars and Stretch is his younger brother that knows the inner workings of a Sans since he has the personality of the Original yet not. Blue may have fooled everyone but Stretch knew.

It made Stretch feel horrible of how his brother was hiding his true feelings and the incident with Error never left Stretch's mind. Stretch forgave Error long before Blue came back as Stretch saw how Error was literally a breath away from dropping to the ground. Error looked more haggard than others realized, and Stretch saw the alarm in Error's eye lights/sockets when he realized where he was. But like all Papyrus's, acting was just in their nature. He figured to make people believe he was on one side to see where everyone was at.

He actually was ok with Error as Stretch spied on both him and Blue hanging out a couple of times. Error always made sure that Blue was happy and safe of which gave Error major brownie points from Stretch.

Of which Stretch knew that Blue was going down a sad route but Stretch couldn't for the life of himself know what Blue wanted. It wasn't until Stretch saw Blue hug the little babybones that he realized that Blue wanted to nurture something again. Geez, if Blue wanted to be an Uncle, then Stretch would have adopted or something like that a long time ago.

"Stretch?"

"Hmm?"

Stretch turned to the Original Paps, who was looking between him and the little babybones playing with his brother.

"How Did You And Blue Get Here? I Know You Stopped Messing With The Machine Earlier Than Sans But The Fact You Came Here Is Still Concerning."

Stretch hummed slightly as he pulled out a honey flavored lollipop as he started to suck on the candy. He remembered coming down to the basement as he saw Blue go in there for some odd reason. But just as he grabbed Blue did he feel the floor under him disappear. The last thing he saw was a woman that had features that reminded Stretch of the Void for some odd reason. He let out a 'hum' for Paps to hear as he thought back to the odd woman.

"The last thing I remember was this woman standing before us when we both fell into a portal that opened up beneath us. I don't even know who that woman was."

"Truly?"

"Mhm."

Silence rang between them for a moment when Stretch realized something.

"Hold on, how did she even get into our house in the first place?"
