I woke up with a scream and I held my chest. I couldn't catch a breath, I felt as if what happened wasn't just a dream. The pain was real. But nowhere was blood, nowhere was Gaster.
There was just me, bed and...two orange eyes?

Every normal human, but I'm not a human, would notice them, because they shone like the brightest stars in the sky.

"Papy...?" I said to my bro, which belonged the Orange Magic. He said nothing and immediately hugged me. "DON'T WORRY, BROTHER... I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM HERE..."and he started stroking my back. Papyrus' height reminded me dad...that I always just after the midriff.

As if on cue tears began to flow and I started shake throughout the body. I knew that thing, killing everyone, including Papyrus, is a past. But I have an unpleasant feeling that this pretty picture of the surface may disappear anytime and I wake up again in my bed in the Underground. In that day, when she came...

"SANS? CAN YOU, PLEASE, TELL ME WHAT WAS THE NIGHTMARE ABOUT?" Papyrus moved away a bit and I could look into his eyes. They still glowed and I managed to glow my eye, too.

"Nah.. I don't want bother you with that," I said, but he again pulled me to him. "SANS...YOU KNOW VERY WELL YOU CAN TELL ME EVERYTHING..." I remembered the dream, where my own dad killed me...

I swallowed loudly. "I felt I died..." I whispered. Papyrus was silent, so I continued. "I felt my whole body is turning to dust.. And nope..It wasn't Chara." I said, when Papyrus wanted to say something.

Whith Frisk we explained the others resets. No wonder they didn't understand too much.
Toriel was really upset when we told her, that Chara possessed Frisk and murdered her and everyone else.

When I told Papyrus, I felt as it fell from me. I wasn't on my own.

"THEN...WHO WAS THERE?" He asked after a moment of silence.
"Ehmm...how to say it...It was G..." I used just contraction. Papyrus understood.
"OU...THAT'S HORRIBLE...,"
he sat on the bed to cross-legged and I sat in front of him.

"BUT YOU KNOW... DAD WOULD NEVER HURT YOU," Yeah, I knew it, even though I've begun to doubt. Gaster was a good guy. But as I said, he WAS.

"Hey, Papy...go back to bed, okay? I'll be fine," Papyrus hugged me last and left my room. I pulled my knees to my chin and I thought.

It's been six years since I have my last nightmare about Gaster.  Why after all this time? Why now? It reminded me again the void inside me after...after Gaster disappeared...

After about an hour I decided to go for fresh air. I got up, I wore a grey turtleneck and black shorts with stripes. I put on a blue sweatshirt with grey hood. I pulled my pink slippers.

Quietly I opened the door and went downstairs. It was interesting, because this house was similar to our house in the Underground. I walked through the front door into the frigid night. I shook with a sudden gust of cold wind. Surroundings was filled with cold air pungent. It was snowing and on the windows were beautiful drawings from frost.
Yeah... it's December... the most cold month in surface year.

At first I just wanted to walk around the housing development, but then I headed to the nerby forest. It's quite similar to Snowdin Forest. Also such a quiet and dead, but still full of life. I walked along the snowy road until I reached the edge of the spruce forest.

I went absently and I didn't think where I am. I sat under a random tree that stood on the edge of the clearing. So as I looked at the clearing covered by snow, I remembered how I, Papyrus and dad...we threw consecutive snowballs, built snowmen and other funny stuff.

Why it didn't last longer? I said to myself. On my childhood I have a lots of happy memories. But much more are those bad ones and those on I would prefer to forget.

So I remembered the time we spend together, my eyes began to close. I began to see only darkness and I didn't care If it's outside +86°F or -22°F...
