Sans got up immediately, stumbling a bit "Pap!" He said shocked as Papyrus scooped him up in a hug "SANS!! I'VE MISSED YOU!!!" He cheered happily. Then a familiar pair of wings and a sad expression poked out of Papyrus' scarf. Your heart leaped in joy, but then dropped once again to see both of them here instead of with Alphys, which either meant they were here to visit, or fight...

Whimsun floated towards you happily "Y/n!" She smiled gently and hugged your face lovingly, you were in shock "Whimsy..!" You said, trying to convince yourself she was actually here but at the same time trying to tell yourself she wasn't. You looked to Sans who was frowning at the ground then looked to you, both equally shocked, but he seemed to be terribly angry. "Uhh, w-what are you both doing here?" You asked, hoping they weren't going to say fighting.

Papyrus spoke up, Sans still in his arms, but he seemed to forget he was there because he pointed to the air and put a hand on his hip, with angry Sans being held like a football. You couldn't help but think it was adorable.

"WELL Y/N!! ME AND WHIMSUN WANTED TO COME SEE YOU AND SANS, SO WE DECIDED WE'D COME AND VISIT!!" He said extremely loudly, but those words made both you and Sans relax.

Until Whimsy started to talk as well "y-yeah, and we didn't even know y-you both were here wh-when we first came to f-f-fight, until that f-fish lady said you b-b-both were here. Pretty lucky... I-I think anyway..." she said sweetly and floated back, Your heart dropped once again, but this time it felt like it fell to your feet.

Both you and Sans turned your glares to Undyne who sighed and walked forward. Owning up to it. "To be fair I told Papyrus he and his little friend had to leave because I'd never forgive myself if something happened to him and Sans would probably hurt me." She said sincerely, then turned angry with a frustrated look on her face "But then he saw you guys and just fricken ran!!"

Sans groaned and squirmed out of Papyrus' hold and onto his feet. "Papyrus, you shouldn't be here." He said with a slight laugh, not completely convinced that his brother was actually here and ready to fight. The tall skeleton tilted his head "WHY NOT? I HAVE MADE SURE FOR MANY MONTHS THAT I AM ROYAL GUARD MATERIAL!! I AM LOYAL, TRUSTWORTHY, HAVE A SPECIAL ATTACK, AND READY TO BE POPULAAAR!!!"

You looked to Whimsum who nodded politely along with him "yeah, h-he said that was a-about all one n-n-needs to be a-a-a a royal guard! And all th-the guards are ready to fight!" She whispered shyly, uncomfortable that people were looking at her and sunk down a bit. You frowned "But Whimsy, do you want to be a royal guard?"

The question seemed to take her off guard, it seemed as though she hadn't thought about what she wanted "U-Um... I-I uh..." She shook as she looked to Papyrus, who gave her a thumbs up. "Y-Yes. I do!" She said, with as much confidence she could muster. But even so, it wasn't all that convincing. You frowned at her and she started to shake under your stare, but you didn't care, you weren't going to let her risk this in a fight she could never fight in.

"Whimsun." You said coolly "you don't understand." You looked to Papyrus "Neither of you do. What we're up against isn't a run of the mill robber who may have just accidentally stole a block of butter from Grillbys." You growled lowly. She blinked confused and intimidated.

Papyrus started to talk with a big knowing smile "OF COURSE I KNOW THAT, THERE WOULD ONLY BE TWO PEOPLE SENT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THIS HAS TO BE SOMEONE INTENTIONALLY STEALING AND HAS TO BE WAY MORE VALUABLE, THEN ONCE WE CATCH THEM WE'LL GET WHAT THEY HAVE TAKEN BACK THEN MAKE UP AND GO FOR SOME NICE CREAM!!!" He said proudly.

Sans shook his head "No, Pap, you don't get it. The person we're gonna fight isn't good in any sort of way." Papyrus shook his head "OF COURSE THEY ARE!! YOU JUST DON'T KNOW THEIR ACTUAL REASONS FOR DOING WHATEVER THEY DID!!"

You grabbed your head, frustrated with the optimistic skeleton "No, their reasons are not good!" Sans branched off of your words while glaring up at his brother. "Pap, I'm telling you, they want to hurt people!" Papyrus only laughed and pat Sans on the head "OH SANS, YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T TRIED TO BE FRIENDS WITH THEM!!"

Sans growled and pushed his bother hand off of his head roughly. "Papyrus! You aren't listening to what we're saying! The people are murderers and they need to be stopped! They are way passed helping!!"

"Y-You don't know that!" Whimsun loudly for her small voice. Sans growled lowly, irked by this constant refusal of his words, while you found yourself getting angry "Whimsun." You said stoically, making her shrivel away. "Just because Papyrus says this doesn't make it true, neither of you know what you're talking about. Ever since I fell down here I've been suppressing the urge to kill and lose control and I really know you don't want to hear this because you seem really happy with your new friend. But..." You held your breathe for a moment putting your elbows level to your head and then let it go, dropping your arms. her slanted eyes were welling with big tears of fear. Papyrus' smile fell at the sight of his friend about to cry as he took a step forward, making Whimsun know he was right there "HUMAN Y/N-" he stopped talking when Sans put a hand on his tall brothers arm, stopping him. They looked at each other, Papyrus eyes said he wanted to defend but Sans stare pleaded him to let you talk some sense into the little monster. You looked over momentarily then looked back to Whimsun, troubled.

"...Not everything is destined to turn out well, sometimes you can't solve things the way you want to, and when it comes to something that can and will destroy all it puts its paws on-" you said with a frown, looking at your fists closing around Ike's toque strings "-we can't afford to not stop it permanently, after what it's done already to Alphys' home, me and Undyne, and now that poor girl." You sighed and looked to Papyrus. "I know you want to help, but bringing Whimsun here is not a thing that should happen, she's only doing this for you." Papyrus' eyes went wide but then his head drooped down guiltily. "I-I KNOW..."

The three of you each gave him puzzled looks (Whimsun was still crying though) his big eye sockets filled with shame "I'M SORRY, BUT I JUST WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT HAVING A NEW FRIEND!! ONE THAT I COULD SHARE EVERYTHING WITH, AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SUPER COOL IF ME AND WHIMSUN COULD BECOME SUPER POPULAR ROYAL GAURDS TOGETHER!!!" He said.

Sans smiled at his brother and put a hand on his brothers back "Aw pap. It great you got a new friend, but if you care about her, you won't let 'er put herself in danger. You'll keep your friends safe, at a safe distance, and protect her that way, like a royal guard would!" Sans said with a lazy smile, one that he gave Papyrus to make him feel like everything is chill. Undyne eagerly agreed "Y-Yeah! Sans is totally right! You should really listen to him and protect them from attacks by keeping them and you far away from the whole thing!"

Papyrus searched his soul meaningfully while frowning at his feet, his pupils skimping from one area to the next till he came to a conclusion. "BROTHER... YOU'RE RIGHT!" He turned to Whimsun "I'M SORRY FOR BRINGING YOU INTO THIS WHIMSUN." He apologized sincerely. Sans smiled to himself as he let out a relieved breath.

His chill demeanour calmed you as well, only then you could realize Chara was laughing and, whatever they were doing in your head, it felt like they were causing a minor headache. Almost like poking around with a little stick.

Undyne took a step closer but Papyrus cut her off happily "SO I'LL BE FIGHTING FOR EVERYONE LIKE I WOULD AS A REAL GUARD WOULD!!" She slouched down because of this. "That's not at all what we meant..." She muttered with a frown.

You looked up at Papyrus in shock, but realized both you and Sans only made him more convinced to fight for everyone, convincing him he should stay and Whimsun shouldn't "N-No! That's not what-!" you stopped yourself when you saw a strong look and feel radiating off of him, he seemed so sure of himself. You widened your eyes as his feel was full of something amazing.
Determination.

Take newfound Determination from Papyrus?

[yes] [no]

He stood so tall, it seemed almost like he would be able to fight alongside everyone, before you reminded yourself this was the cinnamon roll Papyrus.

But should you take this from him? As far as you knew nobody has given him a chance, and if he did fight he would finally live his dream and that would make him happier than anything else in the world.

But Sans would be worrying about Papyrus the whole time and most likely protect him, making both of them susceptible to attacks, and losing Sans was not something you could do. You pulled on Ike's toque strings.

Looking over at the stout skeleton suddenly made your heartbeat pick up a bit. It was a little startling to say the least, because it meant deep in your heart, you did have feelings for him, and you only realized it completely when thinking about how sucky and dull life would be without him, like Ike in a way, but different because of the weird feelings, of butterflies in your stomach or unnaturally happy when he's happy.

That thought of liking in this way was unnerving, especially now when a big death battle was gonna take place at anytime, and him dying made you feel as though you needed to protect him. You trying to protect Sans while Sans tries to protect Papyrus, sounds like a messy time. And if this happened there was a higher chance of all three of you getting hurt, and let's be honest, Sans is one of the most, if not the most powerful monster here, so without him we don't stand as much of a chance.

A heavy sigh emitted from you tanks to the dilemma, as you looked up at the tall skeleton.

[*yes] [no]

Are you sure?

No...
...
This is for the well being of everyone...

Everyone? Really?
...

[yes] [no]
