It was a dreamless night. There was nothing to dream. Not without him, you thought. You wake up on the couch and look around. Papyrus was downstairs cooking spaghetti in the kitchen before he had to get back to packing. He didn't know that you had slept on his couch last night. You looked for Sans, but you couldn't find him anywhere. He was probably still up in his room. Still drowsy, you rose to your feet and made your way to the kitchen to tell Papyrus about your plans with Sans for that day.

"~Nyeh heh heh heh heh! Nyeh heh heh heh heh heh heh!~ 🎶" Papyrus sang to himself as he stirred his pasta in a giant pot.

"Hey, Papyrus-!"

"NYEH?!?!?!?!?!" yelled Papyrus as he jumped and knocked over his spaghetti all over the floor. You both stare at the dumped noodles in alarm.

You sheepishly shrink away from Papyrus at your mistake. You forgot about the 'Papyrus not knowing' fact. "Uh... Oops... Sorry, Papyrus...," you say unable to think up anything else to say off the bat.

Papyrus sighed as he stared at his ruined masterpiece. He shook himself out of his grief and turned to you. "WOWIE, (Y/N)! YOU GAVE ME THE SCARE OF THE CENTURY! PLEASE, TELL ME NEXT TIME YOU PLAN TO JUMP SCARE ME! ALSO, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE PASTA. I CAN MAKE MORE!" he chirped.

You laugh and feel relieved that he wasn't that mad about it. "Maybe I'll go around wearing army boots just to make sure people know I'm coming!" you answer to be funny.

"EVEN SO, WHY ARE YOU HERE? DON'T TELL ME YOU CAME ALL THIS WAY JUST TO SCARE ME OUT OF MY BONES!" Papyrus says as he begins to clean up the mess of pasta and sauce on the floor.

"I got caught in the snow yesterday, so Sans said I could stay here for the night and hang out with him today," you explain.

"OH! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO? SANS HAS BEEN LOOKING KINDA BLUE LATELY. YOU KNOW, BESIDES HIS CLOTHES. HE SHOULD BE DOWN IN A MINUTE!" Papyrus said. He ran up the stairs and banged on his brother's door. "SANS!! (Y/N) IS AWAKE!!"

You heard the door open and Papyrus race into the room. The door closed behind him. You ran upstairs and pressed your ear against the door.

"bro..., just..., give me a couple of months... ok?" asked Sans.

"I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SLEEP IN! NOW, GET UP!"

"listen, i'm not really feelin' up to it... just give me a few minutes, at least," Sans said sleepily.

"SANS? THAT'S THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO'S JUST HAD A DREAM... WAS IT ANOTHER NIGHTMARE...?"

"heh... i did have a dream. however, this time, it wasn't a nightmare... it... felt... amazing... surprisingly enough," he replied with a voice so calm and peaceful that you felt goosebumps. He sighed.

"SANS, WHAT HAPPENED?"

"hm... you deserve to know... ok. we had all made it back to the surface. the sun was shining down on all of us. however, i remember something next to me... something warmer than the sun. it called to me, so i came closer... the world around me began to fade... my problems disappeared. all of my sadness and worry: gone," he sighed with a smile. He caught his breath. "it was the most beautiful thing i ever saw. as i approached it, i only felt warmer. memories of times where i was truly happy came back... all those people... whatever it was...," Sans continued as he looked to Papyrus, "it made me so happy that i didn't wanna wake up..."

Papyrus didn't say anything. You could hear Papyrus get closer to Sans. You assumed that they were in each other's embrace.

"SANS, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE SURFACE. NO MATTER WHAT. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO STAY THERE. MAYBE WHEN WE GET THERE, YOU'LL FIND YOUR SUNSHINE?"

"...heh... maybe..."

"ACTUALLY, THE REASON I CAME UP HERE WAS TO TELL YOU THAT (Y/N) IS AWAKE DOWNSTAIRS!" Papyrus explained.

You heard Sans shift quickly. You heard him jump to his feet and warp around the room like crazy.

"shoot! i forgot! i left (y/n) on the couch! how could i do that after what i promised her?!" you heard Sans yell. His voice was being thrown around the room from warping so much.

"WOW! THAT'S THE MOST WORK I'VE SEEN YOU DO IN THIRTY SECONDS! (Y/N) SHOULD COME OVER HERE MORE OFTEN!!" Papyrus exclaimed with amazement. He didn't even know Sans could work.

You quickly run down the stairs and jump on the couch. You pretend to read the joke book with a physics book in it with a joke book in it with a physics book in it with a- You decided to stop. Sans warped down the stairs and Papyrus came running. Sans laughed awkwardly and leaned against the couch. You put down the book(s?).

"so, how's that joke book?" Sans asked.

"It'd be great if I could read it without having to open another physics book!" you yell unable to keep a straight face. You both start laughing.

Sans shook his head. "i've never been able to say that with a straight face or even read it without laughing! After all, it defies most laws of physics in the physics book! That's the joke part of the joke book," Sans explained.

"You probably couldn't keep a straight face because you're a skeleton. It'd be kinda hard for you to stop smiling," you reply.

"that's true, but it's still hilarious."

"Well, what do we do now? How do we start off a day?" you ask.

""you start off a day by having breakfast. i've heard that the cinnamon buns at the snowdin shop are really good. whaddaya think?" Sans asked.

You stood to your feet and nodded. Sans was about to turn to head towards the door when you yell, "Wait! Don't you want your jacket back?!" Sans turned back to you and answered, "nah. you can give it back later. besides, the cold never bothered me anyway."

You tossed on the jacket again feeling a little guilty. He stops when he sees that you are kind of reluctant to wear it. He then points to the coatrack just beside the door that you didn't notice until now. There was an identical coat hanging from it. You suddenly feel like wearing the jacket and you feel less guilty. Sans winks. "you sweater believe i've got a million of 'em."

You giggle at his pun. He bows and then puts on his coat EX. Right as the two of you are about to exit the building, Papyrus steps between you and the door. Sans sighs and doesn't move. "yeah, bro?"

"YOU CAN'T GO YET! BEFORE YOU GO, I WAS KINDA HOPING YOU COULD TRY THE SPAGHETTI I MADE!" Papyrus yelled excitedly.

"Y-You mean, the one I accidentally knocked onto the floor...?" you ask awkwardly.

...

"you knocked it onto the floor?" asked Sans.

"On accident!"

"i guess, you could say, it pasta-way!" Sans joked. You giggled at yet another joke while Papyrus growled at his brother.

"THIS ISN'T FUNNY SANS... I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT!!" Papyrus yelled angrily.

"I'm sorry...," you tell him again.

"hey, paps, we're going to get a cinnamon bun for (y/n) at the snowdin shop. i'll take that spaghetti when we get back. you'd better get working on it right away," Sans said to Papyrus.

Papyrus gasped and you could see the stars in his eyes. He raced back to the kitchen. "OH, OF COURSE, I WILL, DEAR BROTHER! WHEN YOU GET BACK, YOU'LL BE AMAZED!! I PROMISE YOU!!"

"works every time. c'mon, let's go," Sans told you.

You both walk out the door (finally) and are greeted by a strong gust of cold air. Sans shoves you behind him. The wind gust hits him instead. It wasn't just a winter wonderland, it was snow crazy! He plants his feet into the snow as he prepared to warp you both out of the blizzard. You began to shiver and Sans grabs hold of your hand and draws you closer to him. He then uses his power to warp you both out of the snow.

The snow disappears and you see a bunch of numbers and letters around you. Sans is still holding your hand and guides you forward through the endless numbers and letters. Code? Finally, he warps again and you reappear in the Snowdin Shop where the rabbit shopkeeper was standing behind the counter. She jumped back in surprise at the sudden appearance of the two of you.

"My, my! You two certainly came out of nowhere! Man, you gave me quite the scare, Sans. Oh! (y/n)! Glad to see that you're back in town!" the shopkeeper said to them.

Sans looked a little tired out from the warp. It must be harder to warp two people away from one place than just one. You realized that you were still drawn pretty close to him and he was still grasping your hand. He finally had the strength to stand up and you stood up with him. He still either hadn't noticed he was holding your hand or he was doing it on purpose. Whichever one it was, he wasn't giving away which.

"*huff* that my friend... is what i would call... *huff* a lot of work...," Sans said as he regained breath.

"What was that anyway?" you ask.

"well, others see it as teleporting. however, it's not really teleporting. you might understand when you hear my version. i call it code jumping.
