Oddly, Leonie reminded Papyrus of a cat.

She was a very picky eater. Very picky. Apparently, she had specific ways to do everything. A small spoon, bowl of coco pebbles poured first before the milk was added to until the coco pebbles would slightly rise, then eat that bowl before using the remaining milk in the bowl to eat a second, smaller serving of coco pebbles. The second time, she poured the cereal on top of the milk. Not enough milk for the first time, Leonie would get upset because there wouldn't be enough milk for her second bowl. Too much, and it would be too much for her second bowl. And that was just her breakfast.

Computers were her main source of entertainment, and a little bit of an addiction. As soon as Leonie saw that Papyrus had a computer, she claimed a corner chair in his living room and decided to sit there all day. Papyrus hasn't gotten his computer back since. One time he came downstairs for a midnight snack and Leonie was still on there, playing minecraft. When Papyrus walked into the living room to tell her to go to bed, Leonied up and hissed at him. Silky explained the next morning that Leonie likes to play games and write fanfics, and she didn't like being distracted when she was busy doing one of those things. Apparently Leonie was also competitive, she even played soccer. It was the only game that could get her up. Sans had taken her to different teams in different towns, and she wasn't allowed to go to any games in any of the 'off limits' towns.

But Sally and Ben were different.

When they had arrived, Papyrus almost dropped his jaw. The two still looked the same age as before, still as young as ever. Sally still a young girl with big green eyes, and Ben still having blond ruffled hair. They didn't age a single day, but that was expected. They had died before Papyrus even met them the first time, they haven't aged since then.

And the two did not like him at all.

They likely remembered how he treated Sans, just how Jeff did. Jeff managed to calm Ben down from attacking Papyrus, but Sally was a different story. She didn't directly attack him, but Sally did intentionally make his life harder. Kicking his legs, pointing out more needed things for Cole to steal, it was difficult to keep her in his house. Sally didn't like Undyne either, even going as far as to flush her wallet down the toilet when she came over.

"We have to talk to her," Undyne whispered to Papyrus.

"Dude, I've honestly lived with that kid for my entire life, like she held me when I was born and sh*t," Leonie said, not ceasing her typing on the computer. "And she's stubborn man. Like, really set on her ideas. You guys won't be able to talk her down like Jeff, you'd have a better chance getting Cole to go to school than getting Sally to back down considering your current standing with her. I dunno what you guys did, and I don't really care or listen to that kind of stuff, but she and Jeff were like '#1' against you guys. Jeff's more grown up, so I can understand why he's trying to make it work with you guys, but Sally isn't going to have any of that. She doesn't listen to people she doesn't like, she may be like 40 or 50 at this point but she's still a kid."

"Could you talk to her for us?" Undyne asked Leonie, "She'd listen to you, right?"

"She'd listen to me, yeah," Leonie hummed, not looking up from her computer. "But I'm busy. Ask me again never."

"If you're going to be on the computer, can I turn off the Bee Movie?" Papyrus asked, looking at the T.V. "You aren't watching it."

"Yes I am! Don't turn it off!" Leonie objected.

"Background noise," Silky answered, looking over from the kitchen, her long arm stilling as she paused washing the counters. "And she is correct, if either of you tried to talk some ease into Sally it would only further upset her. Jeff accepted you as a person of his own accord, and even now he still doesn't like you very much. You might have to let Sally accept you, just as she did Sans."

"I was wondering," Papyrus said, "Jeff told me how he met Sans, but I don't know how Sans became one of you guys... how did it happen? How did he meet everyone else?"

"That's a rather complicated topic," Silky said, "He actually met my Father when he was a child. You were there."

"I was?" Papyrus asked.

Silky nodded, her white hair slightly bouncing with the movement. "That's what they told me. Sans had recently left a certain... situation before he met my Father, and then they encountered one another later after he left the mental hospital."

"Oh yeah, I forgot Dad was in a hospital," Leonie snorted, "Love that story. And right, you were the one who threw him under the bus."

Papyrus looked to the side. "Yet another reason to hate me, I guess."

"Most of us actually don't hate you, you know," Leonie said from her computer.

"What?" Papyrus asked.

"Like sure, you screwed our Dad, but we didn't really know ya," Leonie said, "Cole didn't even hate you, he just likes insulting people. We just don't know you, like you've never spit in our face or anything. You're just that awkward family member who we've been warned and told about, but we don't really know. It was mostly our parents that trash talked you."

"Especially Jeff and Sally," Silky said.

"O-Oh, that kind of m-makes sense," Alphys said.

"So we don't really hate you, really, you guys are just 'those people' to us. We grew up most of our lives without you anyway, so you guys never really had a big effect on us," Leonie said, "And to be honest, I'ma say it now, I don't think we even talked about you guys much. Like, we just learned about you guys, why we couldn't see you, then move on. Sometimes there'd be a reference here and there, but we didn't sit all day talking about you guys. We had our own sh*t to do man, like me finishing this fanfic."

"F-Fanfic?" Alphys perked up.

"Yeah, you've probably never seen it though," Leonie said, "The anime isn't that popular, Dad found a copy in some lab or something. Mew Mew-"

"YOU'VE WATCHED MEW MEW KISSY CUTIE?"

Alphys had sprung up from her seat, her eyes practically glowing as a large smile grew over her face. Undyne giggled as the lizard monster practically ran towards Leonie, peering at the screen.

"Uh, yeah!" Leonie said, her voice rising with excitement. "It's my favorite anime! But the first one is though, the second one is a desperate play for money."

"I feel as if w-we're going to get along," Alphys said, slinging an arm over her shoulder. "Who's your favorite character?"

"I mean, I know Mew Mew is the main character and everything, but I have to go with Brushy. The scene with the candles just made him absolutely my favorite, hands down."

"The ice cream shop episode? Yes!" Alphys sad, "Where there was the whole debate on friendship with the snail ice cream, only to reveal that Brushy liked to eat candles. It was so funny and emotional!"

The two continued ranting about Mew Mew Kissy Cutie, the computer being adjusted so Leonie could show Alphys what she was writing.

"I should probably go grab Cole and take him to get his nachos now," Papyrus said, standing up.

The tall skeleton made his way out of the room, trying to think of where Cole and Jeff would be. Apparently Jeff was practicing knife throwing with Cole, so that meant they were probably either in the basement again or training outside.

Cole was always making sure he was fit. He asked Papyrus for a map of the town so he could run every morning, and he was always doing pushups and training with his knife. It explained why Cole needed to eat so much, he needed more calories.

But on his way to the door, Papyrus didn't hear a nearby conversation going on.

~~~~~~

Addy had to wait to talk to Sally.

When the girl had been helped out of the computer by Ben, Addy was ecstatic! Sally was one of her closest siblings, even though they weren't related, Addy still liked Sally. They played doll together, and had a lot of sleepovers. So when Sally came out with Ben, Addy quickly drew her into a hug, hoping desperately that her voice would finally speak up. But she couldn't, because Papyrus was there. She still couldn't talk in front of him.

It was hard. Addy didn't know why she couldn't talk in front of people who she didn't know, but she just couldn't. It felt like there was pressure against her mouth or something, refusing to let her speak. Addy hated it. She wanted to talk to people, she wanted to explain and help! But she couldn't!

But after watching Sally interact with other around the house, Addy had other plans when taking Sally to the side.

"What do you mean I should be nice?" Sally asked.

"Well, you tried to uh, push Papyrus down the stairs... and um, well, I kind of like him!" Addy said.

"But he's... he's a meanie! He hurt Sans! He made him cry! You weren't there, but I was! He made Sans upset, then acted like Sans was the one at fault!" Sally said, "He cried so much, b-but he's happier now! I don't want those meanies to come back and ruin what he worked so hard to have!"

"But he's different, he's nice and pays attention to us," Addy said, "He let me in when I didn't know where else to go!"

"Meanies like him and my old Uncle don't deserve to be treated nicely, not after what they've done!" Sally said.

"Then does that mean, well, that we don't deserve to be treated nice?" Addy asked, "Um, we've kinda killed."

"It's not the same!" Sally said, "I just... he was really mean to Sans! Like, really really mean! Everyone was to him, they all treated him like he was just... not worth it. Like he was a kid that didn't understand what was good for him, I... I hated it."

Sally shifted on her feet, biting her lip. "You weren't there, but it was bad... really, really bad..."

"But Papyrus changed, he's looking out for... for us!" Addy said, "He let us all in, isn't that was Sans did for you guys?"

"Sans let us in because he wanted us to be happy, because he saw that we were good people and he wanted to help us live happy lives," Sally said, looking at the door as Papyrus walked out and stepped out of the front door. "Papyrus let you in because he's trying to redeem himself. He doesn't care about any of us. Us CreepyPasta have to stick together, Papyrus doesn't understand like Sans did. He never will."

(OKAY WARNING

So basically the next part references Sally's backstory as a Creepypasta, and if you don't know, it contains sexual abuse and actual pedophilia, along with incest. So uh yeah, kinda just watch out.)

~~~~~~

"D-Daddy...?"

Sally had thought that coming back would be better. They could have been a family again! Her Uncle that did those awful things was gone, now it was just Daddy, Mommy, and Sally again! Just like it had meant to be.

"You have to go, Sally," Her Father choked out, "You've died, you have to move on."

"But we're a f-family again, we can-"

The man before her shook his head, face twisting with confusion and fear, along with grief. The same facial responses that he had when he found her body.

"You aren't Sally! She's dead, she was taken from us when my brother raped and killed her!" He choked out, "You're just taunting me for my failure of not being there for her! Let me grieve in peace!"

But that was wrong. She was Sally, she was! She was just not fully herself, as the constant bleeding from her head proved. The final wound from a rock that ended it all.

"Just... Just go away!" He cried out, tears rolling down his face.

Then there was the fire. He really thought it would destroy her, as if she was bound to the house. But she wasn't, she wasn't haunting the house. She just stayed there to be with her family, she came back to try again!

Surrounded by flames, Sally stood on her toes as she watched her parents run away into the night with one another, she realized something.

They had lied.

They weren't her family. They didn't believe her when she told them her Uncle was bad, that he was making her play games she didn't like. They didn't believe her until the cops had arrived, telling her parents of their tragic tale of their beloved daughter. Raped before being smashed over the head with a rock, one blow resulting in her demise before the body was thrown into a ditch. But when Sally came back, they kept denying it was her. Calling her demon, yelling at her to stop, trying to get an exorcist to get rid of her. As if she wasn't their daughter.

Sally didn't know where to go, remaining in the old, burned down house for years upon years, waiting. Her parents would come back, she was sure of it. They wouldn't leave their little girl to die, right?

The first visitors had excited her at first, Sally hadn't talked to anyone but her teddy bear in years. He was her only family, good ol' Charlie, always there for her. So she brought Charlie with her, eager to greet them. But the visitors were loud teenagers that screamed and ran, but Sally didn't want to see them go!

After awhile, murder became easy. And she soon grew to understand that her parents would never come back. They weren't her family, they were just like her Uncle.

A few other killers stopped by. A yellow eyed man, a girl with white skin and black hair. Jane returned a few times, talking to Sally.

That's when she met Sans. He was different, he was normal but he didn't care that she was bleeding. The conversation just felt right, like he cared about her. The skeleton offered her a place to stay, a home, a family. And he even said Charlie could come along!

And Sally would protect her family.

No matter what.
