A New Pal

Chapter 1 <How We Met>

It was nighttime and I had recently visited underfell and realised it wasn't the nicest place. I barely escaped the people there. I had bruises and scars all over my body. I sat in the unknown AU I had escaped to. Somehow, even though I was in a back ally, someone managed to find me.

"You okay there kiddo?" A random voice asked

I jumped, tilting my head up to see a sans standing in front of me. Which one though? I have never seen this colour combination of clothes before. He wore generic fluffy pink slippers just like any other sans. However, his pants were blue instead of black. He wore a bright yellow shirt with a light blue 'T' on it. Over it, he had a light pink jacket with fluff on the collar which were a darker shade of pink. To top it all of, he even had a necklace with 2 small feathers, a small toothbrush and a ring connecting them all together. What was even weirder was that he had an 'XD' in one of his eyes. It was unlike any sans I had ever seen.

"Uh kid? Wait, why do you have so many bruises?" The sans asked

"You wouldn't understand." I replied, gazing away.

"You know what kid, tell you what. I'll bring you home to patch you up and you can tell me how you got here and why you have those bruises. Even if I won't understand, I'll try. Ok kiddo?" he said comfortingly.

I nodded as he teleported me to his house. I had been teleported many times before so it wasn't much of a surprise for me. I sat and waited on the couch as the sans talked to his papyrus. After awhile, the sans came and sat next to me. He then questioned me if I knew ink. That totally threw me off as that was the last question I expected from a sans with a universe.

After u few seconds, I nodded. Afterwards I asked him "what's your name?"

"Sans" he replied

I gave him a 'you know what I mean' stare, though with a light smile.

"Heh sorry kiddo, couldn't help it. Anyways, the names Tick. You?" Tick asked

"Rach." I continued, "How do you even you even know ink?"

Tick explained how he could portal through universes too, and how he stumbled upon ink one day. Afterwards he told me how his goal was to tickle every single sans in the universe.

"I've gotten classic, blue, dream, fell, ink-"

"Wait wait wait. You've gotten fell? That's humerus." I snickered.

Tick paused, before lightly chuckling. "Good one kid. It's getting late though and I think you should rest here for the time being."

I agreed. Though I sworn I could see a slight mischievous glimmer in his eyes. Ultimately I decided it was nothing and I was just seeing things. I laid on Tick's bed staring at the ceiling. He was kind enough to let me sleep on his bed instead of the couch. His room was mostly pastel coloured, which was very welcoming. Slowly drowning myself in thoughts, I drifted into the dream realm.
