A Second Chance (Papyrus X Flowey/Asriel)

Always Something New with Him

Papyrus walked with a newfound confidence as both him and Doggely made their way through town, only recieving one or two odd looks as they did.

'Less than usual!' Papyrus thought chipperly to himself. Well, as much as he could think to himself, what with the newly found company.

"Why so upbeat this morning, Paps?" "Because, my dearest Doggely!" He hardly contained his excitement as his bones clicked against eachother, "I get to do one of my favorite things in the underground, with two of my favorite monsters!" He almost floated above the snow just to accentuate the point, the infectious excitement making Doggely chuckle.

"It's probably not gonna be anything big, I don't really know what I'm doing without the vines yet," he tried to explain, only to be ignored by the sparkly expressioned skeleton monster.

The stride and friendly banter made the walk go by quick, Papyrus soon knocking on the head guards door so quickly it could leave a dent if he kept going. He didnt however, as it only took a second before a spear suddenly shot through it, just barely missing both monsters.

"AHA! Took you guys long enough!" Undyne called from inside, Papyrus guiding Doggely back as the door swung open.

"What's the plan today, Captain!" Papyrus stood straight as he spoke, Doggely following the example. It's hard not to find the act a little ridiculous, but Asriel did it nonetheless, Papyrus was the expert here after all.

"We're starting off seeing what you can do newbie, but don't think that means I'll go easy on you!" The devilish smirk that followed the statement made both a little uneasy, but the encouraging look from Papyrus was all Doggely needed to keep going.

"Yes ma'am!"

Asriel stood by himself in a small muddy clearing, a poorly made dummy posted on a stick being deemed his opponent by his two 'mentors' on the sidelines. He could see the damage that was hardly stitched together all along its body, and suddenly doubted he was being taken very seriously.

"Hardy har, where's the catch? The spike traps or whatever?" He called to where Papyrus and Undyne stood, only getting a thumbs up in response. He sighed, dragging his feet as he approached the 'threat.'

"Uh.. Human! Prepare to face my wrath!" He called in a deadpan tone, knocking over the thing with a single shove.

A cheer then erupted from Papyrus, giddy and full of pride.

"Don't get too excited yet pal!" Undyne patted him on the back, already glad to have brought a pair of ear-fin-warmers. Of course, the antics were far from over, but Doggely would find that out soon.

"Is that all for today?" The dog monster turned to shout, when the smallest rumble beneath him caught his attention. He braced himself on instinct, looking around him for the source of the rumbling with a knot growing in his stomach.
Papyrus fiddled with his scarf, looking from Undyne to his pal and back quickly.

"Don't worry about him Paps! If he's anything like yesterday, he won't have a scratch on him." She said with a wide grin, only somewhat comforting her skeletal pal. Finally he located the source, but before Doggely could step closer to the limp dummy, it suddenly righted itself, spears summoned inside it making it dance around above the ground. The glowing blue shown through the stitches, and Asriel would be impressed if not for the looming danger that would undoubtedly follow. He lunged quickly at the stuffed opponent to try and catch it off guard, only grazing it as he tumbled into the snow.

"YOULL GET IT NEXT TIME!" Echoed through the trees as Papyrus cheered again, a thumbs up poking out from the bunch of snow holding Doggely. The sarcastic remark he was about to shout got cut off as a spear suddenly caught his eye, only hardly missing him in the pile.
