What's Determination?

Chapter 3 - The Last Of Me

A/N: I'm bored and I already have this chapter written, so here is a new chapter! 

A Few Years Later - Vex POV~

It was just me and Sans. We sat under the 'stars' in Waterfall. They glew a beautiful baby blue. The background was the perfect shade of dark - almost a black, blue. The echo flowers whispered among themselves. Sans and I conversed and laughed every now and them. Finally, everything was silent. Even the water seemed to stop flowing. I sighed. I have to tell him. Azzy knows, but Sans has the right to know. 

"Hey, Sans...I have something to tell you." I didn't dare look in his direction. I didn't want to see that look on his face when I confessed. "I- I... W- want to give my soul up..." He seemed to stop breathing, but I didn't dare look. The look on Azzy's face made me want to say it was a joke.

"Vex..." Sans whispered out of no where. I slowly turned to Sans with a sad smile. His eye lights were nonexistent. He looked as if he was actually dead. His head was tilted to the ground and he was facing me with that heartbreaking look. "What do you mean by that? Aren't you happy with us?" I panicked. He didn't get what I ment! 

"That's not what I ment! I am happy here! What I mean is I want to give my soul to Dad..." That didn't make anything better. Sans' expression was still the same as I turned back to the bright blue river. "I am happy here with all of you guys. It's just that I want everyone to have a better life on the surfa-" Sans had finally moved. I turned back to see him staring at the ground. 

"I won't stop ya if that's whach ya want, but I just want you ta think about that for a while... How would your family feel? Me, Asriel, Papy... You know how devastating it would be to loose ya?" After a long pause, he stood up. A whoosing sound made me turn, only to see he was gone. That was hard, but at least I told him. I just have to get Mom and Dad on board... Now that was going to be difficult.

Time skip~

After the talk with Sans, he seemed to want to spend more time. It makes sense thought. I did just tell him I wanted to give up on life. Papyrus didn't have a clue what was going on. He was just happy to spend more time with his friends. It pained me to think what Papy would would feel when he found out I was gone. Sometimes, I could even stand to see Sans like this. He was clingy and didn't want to leave my side. He must really value his friends. 

Speaking of friends, we had a bit more than just the four of us to look after. Over time, Undyn, Captain of the Royal Guardsmen, became another close friend to Sans. It surprised me at first. She was loud, aggressive, and a little too pushy at times. Her red hair was always in a ponytail. Her blue fish like scales were as tough as nails from what I've heard. She always had a black eye patch over her right eye though. I never really knew why other than it has something to do with her dad. Two more friends ca!e shortly after Undyne. A small yellow dinosaur whose name was Alphys, and a dramatic robot whose name was Metteton. Alphys was shy and always nervous. She took over as the Royal Scientist when the old one passed. Come to think of it, no one ever mentions his name. 

Mettaton was created by Alphys. He was originally Nabstablook's cousin. In other words, he used to be a ghost. Unlike his cousin, he had big plans. He wanted to bring joy to the underground by making his own TV show. Mom became fond of Sans and Papy very quickly. At first she felt pity for them, but took them under he wing ad treated them as her own children. Mom and Sans made a promise, which was quite unusual. Sans hated making promises, but I never knew why. 

"Vex, Are You Even Listening?" I blinked as I came out of my trans like state. "Sorry Papy, I was thinking." I chuckled and rubbed the back of my head. "I didn't mean to 'vex' you or anything. I was just 'day'zed." Sans snorted and tried to hold back a laugh. Papy shrieked in anger and annoyance. "You Are Just As Bad As My Brother!" Asriel groaned as he flipped into the snow. Sans found his voice and spoke. "That was 'pun'tastic." Papyrus made a face and Azzy covered his ears. "I know right? Truly 'humerus'." Sans and I broke into a laughing frenzy and Play yelled in frustration. 

"I Swear, By The Name Of Asgore, So Help Me!" Azzy growled and moved around a bit. Snow hit the side of my face as Azzy started to giggle. I recovered and whipped the snow off. I smiled and made a snowball. Azzy turned his back to me. I giggled darkly as I threw the ball of ice. The ball splattered on contact and stuck to his fur. Azzy fell face first into the thick white blanket. Papyrus sprung from his spot and cried out. "SONWBALL FIGHT!" Sans targeted his taller brother while I targeted Azzy. After some shared throws, we paired into teams. It was me and Sans against Azzy and Papyrus. After a long war of betrayal, forgiveness, and got back together, we finally got tired. We fell into the snow laighting.

"That Was Fun..." We stayed like that for a while, only staring at up at the cavern ceiling. It was a pleasant to feel the snowflakes land on my face. That was something I never understood about the underground. How was it snowing if there aren't any clouds? How does it snow if there's no water above us to begin with? It's never hot on this side of the undergroud. Even if somehow it was possible for it to rain without clouds, how who the water even get up there? It clearly is below freezing because the snow isn't melting. I guess I just have to accept the fact that it's 'magic' as Sans says. 

"So what do we wanna do now?" Sans stood and shoved his hands into his pockets. I smiled and sat up hugging my knees slightly. "We could have a sleep over, yah Azzy?" My brother shot up with a bright smile. "Sure! Who's pillows?" He grinned, obviously planning to demolish us again. "What About We Make Pillow Forts This Time?"

"We can do that too!" Azzy smiled alarmingly. We better prepare for another war.....

"Watch ou- off! Papy!" Pillows rained onto our fort, knocking some cushions down. While we were distracted, Azzy came through the broken walls and through more pillows. Papyrus and I retreated to the closet and shut the door. We sat and painted for a moment. "You Know The Moment We Get Out, They'll Bombard Us Again, Right?" I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but I got a plan."

3 Person POV~

"Anytime you want to come out now! We'll just wait!" Sans and Asriel had made a fort in front of the closet. They crouched behind the fort and had pillows in hand. The closet door opened to reveal two big stuffed animals that were stationed motionless. The attackers had confused expressions. They glanced at each other then focused on the targets. After a few seconds, a flashlight was seen in between the animals. The flashlight clicked and beamed a bright blinding white light. Sams and Asriel winced at the light. "ATTACK!" Vex and Papyrus through the animals to the side and attacked the enemies without remorse. "Alright! Alright! We surrender..." I had Asriel pinned under my foot with a pillow above my head. "No! Asriel, you can't! What about the kingdom?!" Sans struggled in his taller brothers grasp. 

"I'm sorry, but we can't win this war. We surrender...." Vex laughed darkly as Papyrus joined dropping Sans. Their evil laughter turned lighthearted with Sans and Asriel joining in. The door opened softly with Toriel in the frame. "Alright its bedtime my children. A goodnighta rest is needed for growing youth like you." The four smiled at Toriel and began to tidy the room for bed.
