It was morning again! Wahoo! First day at PJ's daycare! I jumped out of bed then realized something. I groaned. and went to dad and pops room.

"Pop, pop." I woke pop up. He was an expert on these kinda things.

"What is it, Drue? It's 2:00 in the morning." Pops said rolling over. 2:00 in the morning? I guess I was too excited. I guess I'll go back to bed after I tell pop.

"Pops, I, uh, I did it again." My face turned blue with a blush.

Pops nodded and climbed out of bed. "I'll put some dry sheets on your bed while you go change your pajamas."

Once everything was sorted Pops put me back into bed.

"Now, what was it about this time?" He asked me.

"This time I was going swimming in the lake, with you and Dad, but then everything just, froze. The lake turned to ice and I got trapped. I panicked and stuggled and I broke some of the ice off, but then, I couldn't swim back up. I was just... sinking." I realized I had started to cry and pops pulled me in for a hug. I smiled but I suddenly felt exhausted.

"If you don't feel better when it's time for you to go to daycare, we'll have to keep you off." Pops said.

I suddenly pushed away my tiredness. "No way! I can go! I *yawn* wanna..." I felt my eyes close and pops lay me back in bed.

"I believe you will, soldier." He chuckled at the nickname he called me. That was the last thing I heard before I drifted off.

SCREW FIVE MINUTES!!!!

I jumped out of bed and pulled my clothes on. I draped my blanket over my bed to make it seem like it was made.

I sprinted into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. After that I went in the shower and got dried. I used some "SUPER SHINY BONES GEL" (as Dad called it) to make my skull shinier and then I put my blue crown on.

I darted downstairs and went to run out the door.

"Did you see a human?" Dad asked. He was reading a newspaper called "SNOWDIN'S GOSSIP!"

"No, dad." I answered. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Then why are you running?" At that moment Pops came in and said,

"He wants to get to daycare I believe." Pops passed me a backpack.

"Yeah! Can I go now!" I asked. I was sooooo excited!

"Do you know where it is?" Pops and Dad asked at the same time. That was weird.

I shook my head. "I'll just wander around until I find it."

Dad and Pops looked at each other. Then burst out laughing. I was slightly hurt by this.

"What? What is it? What did I say?" Dad put down his newspaper and said,

"It's a bit more complicated than that."

Pops created a portal. Dad shouted "Bye" as me and Pops walked through it.

It was a different universe, and it was unlike any I had seen before.

"What is the place?"

"This is AuTale." I cocked my head in confusion.

"It's the place for all Au's. Anyone is welcome here. Good or bad. Many Sanses whose Aus have been destroyed come to live here if they manage to escape. It's a marvellous place. That's why the Daycare is here." Pops explained

I looked around in awe. Pops led me to the daycare.

There was an adult Sans there and greeted Pops.

"Hey, Dream." The Sans said.

"Hi, Paperjam. This is my son Drueberry, I've brought him for Daycare."

Paperjam nodded and kneeled down to my height.

"Hey, there, buddy. Are you nervous?" He asked.

"NO WAY! THE MAGNIFICENT DRUEBERRY IS NEVER NERVOUS! MWEHEHEHE!" I exclaimed quite loudly. So loud, infact, that I heard a few screams of shock inside the building. Even Paperjam jumped back slightly.

"I can tell." He said laughing. "Why don't you go inside, introduce yourself to the other Sanses. That's what everyone else is doing."

I nodded, "Okay!" Paperjam let me inside and I heard Pops saying, "Paperjam, I need to tell you something about Drue..."

I skipped away and looked around. There were many Sanses, but one in particular caught his attention. One that was hiding in the corner, one that was reaaaallllyyyyy familiar.

"Glitchy?" He jumped in suprise, glitched, went back to normal, saw me and smiled shyly.

"Hi, Drue. I, uh, didn't know you'd be coming here." Glitchy said softly.

"Same here!" I yelled. Glitchy glitched once again.

"Do you want to hang out? If you want to. If you don't it's fine. You probably want to make more friends--"

"Are you kidding?!" I exclaimed, a giant smile on my face, "Of course I want to hang out with my best friend!" I hugged him. He glitched. I apologized.

"It's fine." He said. For some reason, he blushed. Before I could question it, three evil looking Sanses came up to us. I could tell the one in the front was the son of Horror and Dust, but I couldn't tell who the other ones were.

"Ya' know," the one in front started, "when I was told there was a wimpy Sans I didn't believe it, but know that I've ssen it with my own eyes, well, I can't say I don't believe what I've seen, can I?"

The other two laughed while me and Glitchy just stared at them.

The one to his right said, "Who would believe that the son of Error was such a weakling?"

Glitchy whimlered slightly.

Now that, made me angry. "Hey, why don't you take your stupid taunts and go bother someone else 'cause your not wanted here!" I shouted.

Glitchy smiled at me, but the Sanses looked furious.

"Is that a challenge?" They asked together. That was even creepier than this morning.

But still, I held my ground.

"Yeah, I suppose it is." I don't care whether I would get told off, I was doing this for Glitchy.

"Very well." The front one, I'm assuming the leader said. The other two stepped back and the Sans threw a punch at me. To avoid getting hit I kicked him in the stomach. He stumbled back at bit, then lunged at me. I dodged, and I saw Glitchy run out from behind me. "D®û£ $20¶! ¥0ûR£ #ûR21π9 7#£m!!!" Glitchy had started glitching

One of the other Sanses kicked him back into the wall, so I went for that one instead. I punched him in the face and he spat out some blood and a tooth. I could hear Glitchy shouting over and over to me. Everytime it was different, but everytime I didn't hear him. The third Sans jumped on me and pinned me down. I used both my feet to kick him in the chest sending him flying back. The first Sans took the chance of me still being on the floor and pinned me. He started punching me repeatedly in the face before I could react. By now we had gathered a crowd. They were cheering and I could still hear Glitchy shouting, but I still couldn't hear him, all I knew was that his tone was laced with worry.

Suddenly, something pulled him off me. Paperjam had the Sans in his grip and looked to me.

"Come along Drue, You're in trouble." I sighed and followed him. I saw Glitchy was looking as well. I could see he was a bit happy with what I did, but not entirely. And for some reason, my skull felt lighter.

***

"So, you attacked them because they were making fun of Glitchy?" Paperjam tried to understand. I nodded.

"Okay, I guess I understand your reason, but, don't do it again. Fighting with others is like walking on thin ice." I winced at that last statement.

"I take it you know what that's like?" I nodded once again.

"You can go now."

Imediatly, my first thought was to go to Glitchy, so I did.

***

As soon as I saw him, I hugged him. He glitched and said,

"D®ú€! @R£ ¥0ú 0k@¥?! D1d m1$7£r ¶∆¶€rj@m #√r7 ¥0ú‽!" I shook my head.

"I'm fine, but are you okay? That kick one of the Sanses gave you was pretty hard."

Glitchy smiled. "I'm fine." He was nervous. I could tell. He was lying.

"No, no your lying. What did he do?" I said more authoritively.

Glitchy sighed then said, "He, he, cracked my rib a little, but nothing major. Oh, also, em, your, um, crown fell off while you were fighting. Here." He gave it back to me. It was a little banged up, but it was still in one piece.

"Thanks. I think we should go speak to your brother, a cracked rib must hurt. A lot."

"Okay." He nodded.

Just as we were about to walk to Paperjam, I froze up. What are Pops and Dad going to do when they find out about this... Crap.
