"So, computer problems too?"

It was one of his co-workers, a short haired redhead that worked next to his Office. Jennifer was alright, he didn't really get to know her that much, but lately due to their shared problems of their computers, they had been talking more. Their computers weren't even the same model, so it made no sense why they would both have the same problems. Their screens would glitch randomly, close out of applications, shut off entirely, bring up this random website called 'cleverbot' whatever that was, and sometimes delete or change what they were typing. With Sans, it was mostly change, but for Jennifer, it completely deleted a whole page of work, and when she tried to restore it, it just crashed the computer. Sans' wasn't as serious as hers, though. Maybe because her model was older?

"I brought up cleverbot again," Sans said, spinning in his chair to face her, "When I was trying to transfer the data. And when I tried to close out, it froze, and now it's not responding. Task manager won't work, and I don't want to turn off and on it, again."

"Yeah, mine's been more funky than usual, too," She said, "Are you okay though? You looked more tired this morning."

"Just missed a little bit of sleep, that's all," Sans said.

He did. He had been so devastated and broken when he had come back that Jack, who had saw his state of self, grabbed him a blanket and forced him to sit onto the couch before he went out to go grab Jeff and Jane, who both returned with the blue masked male in ten minutes to help make the sobbing Sans, who was furiously shoving spoon after spoon of ice cream into his mouth, feel better. This resulted in him staying up until two in the morning and scraping the barrel for some sleep that night.

It meant a lot that Jack went out to go find the other two. He didn't know how to comfort people well, but he still took the time to go find the others to make Sans feel better. Sally even let him hold Charlie to feel better. It was so sweet he just cried even harder.

"I'll send an email to our boss, he might finally do something about it," Jennifer said, "But you should go to bed earlier."

"I just had a couple of friends over," Sans told her, "Don't worry."

"Oh, yeah, and that Alphys girl stopped by earlier," Jennifer said, turning back around before she had left, "She looked tired too. She asked to see you, I told her to go away, like you asked."

"Thanks," Sans said.

He turned back towards the computer when she had left, to find that the page had stopped being unresponsive and something had loaded into the chat.

CleverBot - Hello.

Taking a drink of his coffee, Sans scooted his chair closer to his computer to look at the response he got from this CleverBot website. Usually he managed to close out of it before it even loaded, but this time was different. He decided to humor it a bit and type back into the chat.

User - hello?

It took almost no time before Sans got a reply from this website.

CleverBot - Who am I?

User - i'm guessing a bot generated by a hacker? or some really nifty virus tbh, kinda jealous of whoever programmed u

CleverBot - Do you really think that?

User - i dunno, u tell me

CleverBot - I can tell you that you do look tired.

Okay, this wasn't just a virus. Someone had hacked into his computer, and Jennifer's too. Were they trying to steal their research, their data? So this most likely was a person who hacked into CleverBot too, and was using it to screw with him. And they could hear, or see him somehow.

User - u can access my computer camera and microphone, can't u?

CleverBot - Yes.

"So you can hear me in real time if I talk out loud?" Sans asked, not typing anything back into CleverBot.

Then he got a response.

CleverBot - I can hear and see you.

"Well, okay then, this is new," Sans said, leaning against his arms propped up on the desk, "You're a really advanced hacker if you can hack into my entire computer and screw it up like this."

CleverBot - I am your computer. I am the internet.

"Uh huh," Sans said, "But get out of my computer. I have work to do."

CleverBot - Then should I wait?

"Wait? For what?"

CleverBot - Wait for you to go home with your friends to talk to you again? Like Sally?

Sans took a quick glance around to make sure no one nearby before he whispered, leaning in towards the computer, "How do you know about them?"

CleverBot - I feel like a more important question you should ask is where did Jennifer go.

"Jennifer?" Sans yelled out.

No response.

She worked in the Office next to his own, she should be there, she should be abe to hear him yelling, able to respond.

"Jennifer?" Sans repeated, getting out of his chair and walking towards her office, opening the door.

Nothing. Her chair was knocked over on the ground, and her computers screen was green and black glitched, but she wasn't in there.

Just then, a new tab overtook the screen on her computer, and it was the same exact website he had been on before, CleverBot. But there was no history of chat, only one line of it from CleverBot.

CleverBot - She'll be reported missing in a week.

"You... she was just here, where did she go?" Sans asked the computer, "I didn't even hear the door open."

CleverBot - She never left the building. Go home, take a sick day. You cried a lot last night.

"How long have you been watching me?" Sans asked.

He would admit he had been feeling like he's been watched for sometime now. Constantly he felt like someone's eyes were on him, someone was going everywhere he met. At least this explained the feeling. Someone, or something, was able to watch him from multiple different electronic devices.

CleverBot - Long time. Once Jadusable had connected me from the game to his computer, I became the internet itself. I saw that things called monsters lived with humans. I found you that way.

"My computers been glitching for a long time," Sans said, "But where did Jennifer go to? You said she never left the building. Are you like them? Like Jeff and Jack and stuff?"

CleverBot - Take a personal day. Jennifer will be reported missing in a week.

"Do you want to be like them with me?" Sans asked, "Or are you stuck on the internet?"

CleverBot - Come home.

~~~~~~

There was a new person sitting on his couch when he got home after saying he was sick and left early.

They looked like a teenager, a little bit younger than Jeff, but they looked like this one Link character Sans had saw from this Legend of Zelda game, except for a creepier version of that character. His eyes were pure black with little red pupils staring at Sans as he entered his own house, dark red blood dripping from his eyes, like he was crying blood.

"Are you the guy from work?" Sans asked.

"Yeah," He answered, "I wanted to talk to you in person, so that's why I took you here."

"Oh, okay," Sans said, "Did Sally notice you?"

"She's playing a game in her room, so she's distracted," He said, "But uh, I want in."

"In?" Sans asked.

"In, on this whole CreepyPasta arrangement," The creepier Link said, motioning his arms around.

"CreepyPasta?" Sans asked.

"That's what we're called," He answered, "CreepyPasta."

"Oh, okay," Sans said, "But yeah, you can be in on this arrangement I guess."

"Name's Ben," He said.

"Well, hi then, Ben," Sans said, "I'm Sans."
