"so, you see, you're not getting anywhere near the market without a fight," Sans taunted the human. She cocked her head.

"And what makes you say that?" She asked, straightening out her tutu. The skeleton shrugged.

"well, you see, i can be pretty determined when i want to be. and i have something to make it worth it. i see no point in letting everything go to waste," Sans said. The teen grinned.

"Just because you're weak doesn't mean I won't go easy on you!" She said, getting ready for the fight ready to come.

"ah-ah-ah! you forgot one little detail," Sans waved his hands all around him, showing how all of the Waterfall monsters ran away, "they're probably going to get back up. so uh, i don't need to kill you. just waste enough of your time so the royal guard can get here. or something. cool?"

"And how is a skeleton going to waste my time? I've heard what they all call you. The One-HP-Wonder."

"ooh. that's a good one. ya'see, it would be better if it was true," Sans took one off his HP out of spite. He knew on one hand that it was really stupid and helped the human more than him, but on the other hand not like he'd let himself get hit. He sighed and initiated the fight. After quickly shooting some smiley skulls at her (he loved the name), and sending a few bones, he decided to comment about some of his observations.

"anyways, we had a vibe going earlier, and i hate to break it, but it seems like you've already done this before?" Sans asked. The human stayed stone cold.

"huh. i guess i already said that. whatever. if i'm getting repetitive, just tell me, i'd hate to bore you," Sans joked. The human just kept glaring and tried to kick them, not looking confused when Sans jumped out of the way.

"what? didja really think i'd stand there?" Sans asked. The integrity SOUL grinned.

"The first few times, yes," she shrugged, "but now I expect this."

"anyways, since you obviously would know what i'm talking about if you would just... Give up and never come back that would be great." Sans threatened, even going into correct capitalization and Determination Mono to further emphasize his point (chances are, the human wouldn't be able to 'see' the change, but she would know something was off). The human seemed unimpressed as Sans tried to blast her. She dodged easily and tried to kick him again. Sans sidestepped out of the way.

"wow. how rude. and i thought we could be friends," Sans said deadpanned.

"No, you didn't! You never did! All you ever did was tell me to 'change your ways'. They all attacked me first! I wouldn't even be fighting you if you didn't start it!" She yelled. Sans paused, technically she was correct. He did initiate the fight, but it wasn't like he would let her get away with everything either. He readied a smiley-skull, aimed, and fired with his signature grin. The dodging seemed a bit rough now, was he getting closer to the end? She readied a kick but paused in fear.

"NGAHHH! WHERE'S THE PUNK!?" Undyne yelled, running into the scene. The human seemed shocked (he was doing his job well). He hadn't seen Undyne in... Longer than he would like to admit, they didn't talk much after Chara and Asriel died. It just felt wrong. But he could catch up later.

"HA! There they are! I'll teach you a lesson!" Undyne said, pointing a spear right at her chest. The human seemed to grab something before running off. Undyne grinned.

"Don't worry, RG1 and RG3 are up ahead. Wait... you're Sans, right? Ohh! It's been so long! How are you?" Undyne asked. Sans shrugged.

"ehh. it had its ups and downs. you? i mean, obviously, you're the captain of the royal guard now, anything else?" Sans asked.

"I agree, ups and downs. Though, I dig my job!" Undyne grinned.

"you should probably catch up with the kid. Make sure they never breathe again." Sans suggested (of course, Undyne wouldn't know they would come back after they died, and would essentially breathe again, but that didn't matter at the moment). Undyne nodded.

"Got it, want to meet up after? See what you've done in the last 8 years?" Undyne suggested. Sans nodded as Undyne ran off.

Huh, he thought this already happened, wasn't he stressing about a reload earlier today? First one in a while or something?

Oh. He was dreaming, sweet. He could vibe with that. Better than this mess happening again. That kid already had her chance. She already could have done better.

Now to wake up. Later. He liked this dream

Frisk never found sleep useful. It was wasting time that could be used... doing anything else! Like talking, or being helpful, or chores even! Though she didn't like the last option. But anyway, she found it a waste of time and boring as heck. But she's already spent four days in the underground and everything seemed so new and interesting! Sleep was the least of her problems (though Chara and she would argue for at least half an hour every night about it). Plus, Toriel would sometimes take her to the village in the Ruins and they would go shopping and talk together (while Chara stared awkwardly, avoiding any sort of conversation and not talking). She still couldn't figure out how Flowey's mood swings went (Frisk could tell he preferred that name. Don't ask her how she knew, she just did) but she guessed she would figure it out... One day. But until then it was always a fun surprise to see if he would comply with anything Chara or she would say, or not out of spite. Though he could still be pretty scary when he wanted to be and any face he made like that seemed even more... Unnatural.

Frisk sighed, she was getting pretty tired. She probably should go to sleep soon before Chara gained his voice back.
