I woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty. I reached my hand feeling for sans but he wasn't there. I rolled over and rubbed my eyes, I also realsed socks wasn't around either. It was dark inside the room, except for the little night light sans got for me. I got out of bed and opened walked out the room.

I went to Papyrus room , his door was open but he was not in bed, I walked down stairs and turned on the light in the kitchen. Nobody was home,  but the front door was wide open. Who left it open? Socks probably ran out. I grabbed my coat and put on my boots. I stepped outside into the chilly snow and closed the door behind me. In the snow I saw evidence a cat tracks heading out of town and I followed it.

"Socks!" I called for him "socks where are you? If you don't come home those dogs will find you" I yelled

"Meow" I heard the mewl of socks. Of course the threat of those dogs would get his attention. I followed the sound and called for him again. "Socks!" But I didn't hear a response this time. The tracks I followed suddenly stopped and as I stood in the snow, I suddenly felt very alone. I then realized this path led out of Snowdin, if I continued down here then I could go to waterfalls. I was tempted to sneak off and take a peek but I needed to get socks home first.

"Socks come on, it's late and it's cold out here!" But I didn't get a reply.

I sighed,  then I heard a sound behind me. I slowly turned my head. Who-

I struggled to breathe , in my panic I shot out of bed with a gasp throwing socks off of my face. I panted with sweat forming on my head.

"Jeeze, ya scared me" sans was standing beside the bed with a concerned and startled look on his face.

"What you doing up so early buddy, did you have a nightmare?" he placed his cool skeletal hand on my head and I laid back on my pillow.

"Mn...I think so" I rubbed my eyes.

"What was it about?" He asked

"I don't know, I don't remember...It was scary though" sans closed his eyes

"Nightmares go away" he chanted and I giggled. Sans smiled in return "your head feels a little hot, shouldn't have played out in the snow that long" he said

"Get some rest, I'll bring you back some soup when I get home.  I'll tell Papyrus that your sick" he spoke but my eyes were slowly beginning to close.

"But" I yawned " I'm not sick" I muttered already falling back asleep.

"Yea,yea, I know. Go back to sleep" it didn't take long for me to be fast asleep again.

Woke up nearly suffocating again. I reached up and moved socks off my face. I frowned at my cat and shook my head. I stretched and yawned then laid back down on the bed. I stared up at the sleeping,  still feeling the effects of sleep.

I thought about it, I had a weird dream. I don't remember what it was about though. Oh thats right! I snapped my fingers in realization, sans actually got up early for once. What a strange dream to have. I rolled out of bed and went downstairs to find Papyrus there.

"You've finally woke up, did you sleep well?"

"How strange it is, usually your early to rise but it seems my brother has been up early and you late. I wonder if you two have rubbed off on each other. Although I'd rather if sans didn't rub off on you" Papyrus mused

"So sans did get up early? I thought that was s dream" I spoke out of shock.

Papyrus laughed "I also thought that was something that could happen only in dreams. After all that time I spent trying to drag that lazybones out of bed he finally does it himself" Papyrus mutters.
