Chapter 3 - Meet the Bone Brothers

Sans's P.O.V

I was sitting at my sentry station outside from my hometown. Heh, you know me. Pretty laid back you know, keeping an eye out for Pokémons, but I wouldn't take the opportunity to capture anybody yet. I adjust the skull on my head to hide my face from the other Pokémons because nobody knows what my true face would look like. I peeked over from my station to see my brother working on his puzzles. I watched how he tries to make it into perfection before the dogs ruined it. Suddenly, I heard a loud creak from the other side which leads to the forest. I looked over and saw a small Pokémon emerging from the doors before closing shut. This Pokémon has got my curiosity so I use Secret Power (as Teleport) to teleport myself into the forest behind the trees to get a closer look.

Slowly, the Pokémon shivered a bit and turned around before walking down the gravel path. Following it while hiding behind the trees, I observed this Pokémon. From what I tell, this Pokémon was an Eevee and surprisingly, it's a girl. She got soft brown hair and wearing a striped sweater. I stopped a bit when I noticed she was rubbing her eyes with her paw and heard sniffling from her. 'Aww... she's crying, that's so adorable!' She finally stopped crying and keep moving until she walked past a large stick in the middle of the path, so I decided to pull a trick. Once she was about a foot away from it, I use Secret Power again to snap the stick in half making a loud crack. Suddenly, she whipped around to see what that sound is coming from, only for her to see nothing behind her except she noticed the stick she walked past broken, making her quivered. Hiding behind another tree, I got a good look at her face, she got soft brown eyes under all that hair. But Arceus, she's so beautiful... 

The Eevee began to move forward hastily and buried her face in the collar of her sweater to hide her face, meaning she was scared or nervous, which is so cute.

Finally, she approaches at the weird structure thing that my brother made to stop the Pokémon from getting past. I still hear her sobbing which kinda feels bad for me to see her like this. Maybe I have an idea to cheer her up... I slowly walked up behind the Eevee and placed a balloon into my left hand before approaching very close to her... Then I made voice deep and dark.

"C R E A T U R E," I growled softly, causing her to jumped up in froze while her fur was sticking up high like a terrified cat. "Don't you know how to greet a new pal?" She was shivering as I continued, "Turn around and shake my hand." She started to turn around and noticed her eyes were shut tight despite she was really scared. She lifted her paw up and soon grabbed my hand.

Frisk's P.O.V

Pffffffffffffffttttt...

I snapped my eyes open and looked at my paw, it was embraced hold of a small cold hand that came out with a fart. I looked at the silhouette in front of me who let out a chuckle. It stepped out of the shadow to reveal as a bipedal Pokémon with a golden brown hide that covers most of its body including both dorsal spikes, a very light brown belly, two claws one on each hand, one large nail on each foot as toes and small sturdy tail. Its head was masked with a large skull with two round horns and a tooth-like point on the lower part to hide the face. One thing about this Pokémon was that it was wearing a blue jacket with a grey fuzzy collar under a white shirt.

"Hehehe... the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick." The Cubone chuckled in a broad gangsta-like accent, removing his hand that a small red balloon attached. I blushed and retrieved my paw back, but I couldn't help but giggled, it seems pretty funny. "It's ALWAYS funny." He removed the cushion and pocketed it away. "Anyways, you're a Pokémon, right?" I nodded to him in response, "That's hilarious!" He chuckled, and introduce himself "I'm Sans, Sans the Cubone. What's your name?"

"I'm... Frisk the Eevee." I replied, shyly.

"Frisk, huh? That's a pretty cute name..." He chortled, making me blush a bit and looked down shyly. He smiled a little and thought to himself, 'Aww... she's so cute...' He snapped out of his thoughts, wondering where that came from and coughed a bit to get my attention. "Anyway, I'm actually supposed to be on the watch for creatures right now." He kicked the snow with his foot, "But... y'know... I don't really care about capture anybody."

"Oh, I see," I mumbled.

"Now my brother, Papyrus... he's a creature-hunting FANATIC!" He stated, announcing that he had a brother. Before he continued, he looked over my shoulder "Hey, actually. I think that's him over there." I turned around and saw another Pokémon ahead. I turned back to him who grinned at me, I can't tell because he was wearing that skull. "I have an idea. Go through this gate thingy."

"This thing?" I pointed at the weird gate with my paw.

"Yeah, go right through. My bro made the bars too wide to stop anyone." He replied.

I shrugged my shoulders and walked through it. Sans followed me from until we came to a large area with a small station.

"Quick, behind that convenient-shaped lamp." He instructed, pointing over to a blue shaped lamp that appears to be the same size for me. I quickly ran over and hid behind the lamp. While hiding, I heard loud stomping in the snow and peeked over a little to see a taller Bone Pokemon unlike Sans running up to him.

This bipedal Pokémon had a darker brown hide that covers most its body, a very light brown belly, two small claws on each hand, two large nails at toes and a large sturdy tail with a spike. Unlike what Sans was wearing, he wore a white battle chest plate armour, a worn red scarf, red fingerless gloves with yellow edges and matching footwraps.

"Sup, bro?" He greeted.

"YOU KNOW WHAT 'SUP', BROTHER!" The Marowak boomed, "IT'S BEEN EIGHT DAYS AND YOU HAVEN'T... RE-CALIBRATED YOUR PUZZLES!"

"Ow, my ears hurt..." I muttered, covering my large ears. "So, this is Papyrus..."

"YOU JUST HANG AROUND OUTSIDE YOUR STATION! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?!?" He bawled.

"Staring at this lamp," Sans commented casually, looking at the lamp that I was hiding. "It's really cool. Do you wanna look?"

"NO!! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT!!" He shouted, stomping his big left foot onto the snow in anger. "WHAT IF A CREATURE COMES THROUGH HERE!?!"

'Is he talking about me?' I thought.

"I WANT TO BE READY!!!" He complained dramatically, "I WILL BE THE ONE. I MUST BE THE ONE. I WILL CAPTURE A CREATURE!" He placed his fist onto his armour like a hero, "THEN, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS... WILL GET ALL THE THINGS I UTTERLY DESERVE! RESPECT... RECOGNITION... I WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD!"

'The Royal Guard, huh?' I thought quietly.

"PEOPLE WILL ASK, TO, BE MY, 'FRIEND?' I WILL BATHE IN THE SHOWER OF KISSES EVERY MORNING."

"Hmm... Maybe this lamp will help you." Sans pointed out, gesturing to the lamp.

"SANS!! YOU ARE NOT HELPING!! YOU LAZYBONES!!" Papyrus shouted, stomping his foot again. Sans could hear me giggling from my hiding spot. "ALL YOU DO IS SIT AND BOONDOGGLE! YOU GET LAZIER AND LAZIER EVERY DAY!!!" He stomped his feet ao hard, that he made the ground shake like an earthquake.

"Hey, take it easy. I've gotten a ton of work done today. A skele-TON." He joked with a wink. BUH-DUM-TIS. Upon hearing that pun, I nearly burst myself into laughter but I held it back in the best I could.

"SANS!!!"

"Aw, come on bro. You're smiling." He teased.

"I AM AND I HATE IT!" He exclaimed, blushing a bit. He sighed heavily, "WHY DOES SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME HAVE TO DO SO MUCH JUST TO GET SOME RECOGNITION..."

"Wow, sounds like you're really working yourself..." He paused and bit his teeth while saying "down to the bone." There he goes again. I mentally laughed harder but I was having a bad time to not let it out because I'm hiding from him.

"UGH!!" He growled, ignoring his brother before turning away, "I WILL ATTEND TO MY PUZZLES... AS FOR YOUR WORK, BROTHER... PUT A LITTLE MORE 'BACKBONE ' INTO IT!!! NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!" Before he started to run away, he said "HEH!" and then left.

"Okay, you can come out now," Sans assured, his attention on the lamp waiting for me to come out. "Uhh... Kid?" He walked over to the lamp and saw me rolling on the ground, laughing my head off. 'Even her laughs are cute too.'

"Oh Arceus, I can't breath..." I giggled, trying my best to calm down but I can't. His jokes are so bad that I can't stop laughing. Finally, I calmed down and saw a hand in front of me. I looked up to see Sans in front of me.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah... I'm okay, just laughing a bit too much I think." I replied, raising my paw as he helped me back onto fours. There was an awkward silence between us until Sans coughs a bit to break it.

"You oughta get going; he might come back, and if he does... you'll have to sit through more of my hilarious jokes." He jested, giving me a wink.

"Okay, thanks anyway." I smiled at him before leaving and head east. I know that deep down I can't be with anyone now this 'curse' is still with me and if I stay or get near them, they'll faint right in front of me. I shook my head gently and keep going.

"Actually, hey..." Sans stopped me, and I turned to look at him.

"Yeah?"

"Hate to bother ya, can you do me a favour?" He requested.

"What sort?"

"I was thinking... my brother's been kind of down lately. He's never seen a creature before, and seeing you might just make his day."

"You sure about that?"

"Don't worry, he's not dangerous. Even if he tries to be..."

"Okay, I'll try..." I gave him a thumbs-up with my tiny fingers.

"Thanks a million, I'll be up ahead." Sans thanked, and walks in the other direction.

"Okay, bye." I waved and walked on ahead, and once I'm far away from him, tears are starting to leak out of my eyes.

Sans's P.O.V

While walking away in the other direction, I heard the same sob again and turned around to see Frisk with her head down and her large ears drooped. But still, something is still bothering her and I want to help her somehow... Shaking my head, I used Secret Power to teleported myself in front of her. She squealed back when she nearly bumps into me and looked at me with quivered eyes.

"Hey kid, I heard you sobbing back there, are you okay?" I asked with concern.

"Don't worry about me, Sans. I'll be fine." She replied sheepishly, and I knew I wouldn't buy it since I wasn't convinced with her words, I think it was a lie.

"Kid... I'm worried about you." I said softly.

"I said I'm fine!" She yelled, before running off into the snow.

I let out a sigh and rubbed my mask. "Kid... I just wanna help you."

Frisk's P.O.V

I ran away from him as far as possible and came across a river. I walked over and sat on the sandbank, tears falling like a waterfall. I stared at my reflection and whimper a bit. I'm too scared... nobody will ever help me. I'm so lonely... I just want a home with someone who cares about me... yeah, just like Toriel, but I left her. I sat there for few minutes until I saw the glimpse of the same Pokémon in the mirror. It chuckled at me and then vanished. I decided to continue onward on my journey. Up ahead, I saw the two Bone Pokémons again but they seemed to be talking about something.

"SO, AS I WAS SAYING ABOUT UNDYNE-" Papyrus said but he stopped when he notice something in the distance. He turned his head at his short brother who looks in the direction as he looked, but then he looked again, Sans looks straight at him and Papyrus looked away. It looks so hilarious because they're doing that at the same time. They do it so fast, that Papyrus end up spinning in circles and soon stopped, but facing the wrong way.

"SANS!! OH MY GOD!! IS THAT... A CREATURE?!!" Papyrus asked aloud.

"Uhhhh... actually, I think that's a rock." Sans convinced, looking past me to see a rock.

"OH."

"Hey, what's that in front of the rock?" He asked.

Papyrus rubbed his eyes and looked again and then he exclaimed, "OH MY GOD??!! IS... IS THAT A CREATURE!"

"Yes bro." Sans answered.

"OH MY GOD!!!" Papyrus shouted, "SANS! I FINALLY DID IT!! UNDYNE WILL... I'M GONNA... I'LL BE SO..." He took a deep breath and roared at the top of lungs, "POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!! POPULAR!!!"

I covered my ears from the outburst and took them out after it was over.

"...*AHEM*" He cleared his throat, "CREATURE! YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS AREA! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL STOP YOU!!! I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU! YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL!"

"The capital?" I thought.

"THEN... THEN!!!" He got really excited and then, "I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT." Sans slapped himself in the skull and sighed. I giggled a bit. "IN ANY CASE! CONTINUE... ONLY IF YOU DARE!!! NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!" With that, he ran off stomping to finish setting up the puzzle for me.

"Well, that went well." Sans sneered, before turning to see me approach him.

"Hey Sans... I think your brother seemed to be worked up about capturing me, but I don't like being takin' to the capital." I confided, feeling worried.

"Don't sweat it, kid. I'll keep an eyesocket out for ya." Sans comforted, ending with a pun. I giggled behind my paws and he found it very cute.

"Well, that's really nice of you. I was aware of being boned." I joked, making him laugh too.

"Hehehe... that's a good one." He chuckled. "Well, gotta go. See ya!" He turned around and followed his brother. I shrugged my shoulders and followed them.

Well, at least I'm happy that he's trying to cheer me up but the only thing I'm going to do is hold that 'curse' I had back. That way, no one will get hurt like what happened with Toriel.
