Sans dropped the toolbox

"She what!"

Crash!

"Oh shit!" Sans fumbled to pick up the mess on the floor

"SWEAR JAR" Papyrus said from where he sat, watching sans pick up the tool as he ate.

"Fu-- uuuurrrrick... I mean frick!" Papyrus looked at him like he wasn't convinced "SURE BROTHER, WHATEVER YOU SAY" he went back to eating, his very fried and burnt eggs like he hadnt just said something important a few seconds ago.

"now what was that thing you said about Undyne burning her's and Al's place down" Sans said still trying to recover from the sudden news.

"YEAH, SHE CALLED ME LAST NIGHT WHILE YOU WERE BUSY HERE TRYING TO FIX YOUR ARM, POORLY MIGHT I ADD. GOODNESS SANS YOU KNOW BETTER, JUST ASK FOR MY HELP"

"yeah... yeah..." he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.

"AND ME BEING THE MOST AMAZING BEST FRIEND I AM, INVITED HER AND DR. ALPHYS TO STAY WITH US, UNTIL THEY GOT THINGS SORTED OUT, IT'LL BE JUST LIKE THE SLEEPOVERS WE HAD UNDERGROUND WHEN WE BURNT HER PLACE DOWN WHEN COOKING! OH THE MEMORIES"

"so... when will we expecting her?" Sans asked, attention on papyrus with toolbox under one arm and heading out the room.

"OH! SHE'LL BE ARIV- SANS!" Papyrus narrowed his eyes on him, "DONT THINK I DONT SEE YOU WALKING AWAY WITH OUT PAYING"

yup there he was, he was caught, he sighed "why do we even still have that thing in the first place"

"SENTIMENTAL VALUE OF COURSE WHY ELSE, AS FOR WHEN UNDYNE WILL BE ARIVING SHE SAID SHE WILL BE HERE AROUND EIGHT, SO IN A HOUR" he waved his fork pointing to the jar "NOW DONT THINK YOU CAN CHANGE THE TOPIC, YOUR DOLLAR?"

Sans could huff and puff as much as he wanted to, but there was no way he was gonna escape the swear jar with papyrus there. Sans put the tool box down and dug into his left pocket pulling out his wallet and talking out a crumpled one dollar bill.

He made sure to show it to papyrus and straighten the dollar out, as a 'see I'm doing it' gesture to Papyrus, before he put it in the jar next to the sink's window.

Papyrus looked pleased and pointed his fork at sans "WHO KNOWS, WITH HOW FAST THAT SWEAR JAR IS FILLING UP, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO AFFORD A VACATION SOMEWHERE NICE THIS YEAR"

"hah!" Sans stared at papyrus with an amused look "don't act like more then half that jar, isn't from your wallet alone"

Dropping the fork, he put a hand on his chest showing mock offense. "ME CURSE, YOU JEST TO MUCH SANS, ITS NOT LIKE IM FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE CALLED UNDYNE OR SOMETHING"

"oh no, the angel forbid I even think of someone as innocent as you curse, with the presence of me and Undyne around"

"PPFFT-"

And with that both skeletons broke into laughter.

--

Undyne was driving towards the two brothers' house. papyrus had offered to let her and Alphys crash at their place when she told him how she burnt the house down trying to cook Alphys a romantic dinner before she got home from the work.

It wasn't a bad idea seeing as her and Alphys had been eating mostly take out the whole week, and how they haven't been spending as much time together now since they both had work things coming up. Undyne had recently been promoted to chief executive in the police department and Alphys had to present some idea to her superiors, at least that's what Undyne got from what her girlfriend was rambling on about the night before.
