My head hurt but I was warm and comfortable. Everything was black. I moved my arms and doing so removed a blanket from my head, revealing the light to my tired eyes. I was finally able to see. My head was rested on Papyrus's lap, with Papyrus asleep.
Wait, he drugged me. Why would he drug me if all he was gonna do is just sleep on the couch?I crawled away from Papyrus, careful not to disturb anything and wake him up. It took me a minute to slowly unwind myself from the couch.
I'm gonna explore this place to see if I can find anything.
I grabbed Flowey from the coffee table and quietly sneaked up the stairs.
Where is Sans?I whispered to Flowey, "Do you know if the book is here?" He did not answer me. I'd just have to look by myself. There were two doors upstairs and I entered the first one. Behind the door was a bedroom. To the left was a bed, and I could tell whose it was by the name "Papyrus" roughly scratched into the bed frame. Perfect. He wants to trick me? I can snoop in his stuff.
On the right wall, there was a desk with a notebook on it. A diary... good, hopefully I can figure out Papyrus's deal. I picked it up and flipped to the first page.

I finally convinced Undyne to let me join the royal guard. We'll be training together, and I want to use this notebook as a log for all the things I'll learn.May 30th, 2001,
Today was the first day of training. Today, it was graded on physical strength so obviously me and Undyne won. Everytime I tell people that I made it into training, they give me this weird look like I'm too nice for that stone-hearted stuff. I'm going to prove them all wrong.July 3rd, 2001,
Training has been very fun! Undyne is a lot funnier than I thought she was. Me and Sans have started a side gig together. Sans and I practice fighting together all the time, as brothers do, and people find it very entertaining. They started making bets on who would win, so we just took the opportunity and made a hustle out of it.August 20th, 2001,
We started a trend! Many siblings in the underground are using their practices as entertainment. However, people still really only pay to watch me and Sans. People are starting to catch on that I am stronger than they think.January 16th, 2002,
Happy new year! Today I found out that the famous "kill any human you find" law is actually real. I know, took me long enough. It's just hard to believe. Humans aren't real, are they? Sans must be getting to me.November 1st, 2002,
The massacre is all I can think about. Humans are real, ok. But how'd she get into the underground? The shield doesn't let humans in. Maybe that has something to do with their strength. But we used to have magic... what if the shield is fading?December 3rd, 2002,
Less than a month until I become a real royal guard! Me and Undyne are top of our class, obviously. Sans seems to be getting a bad rep. He's gotten stuck in a murderous mindset, like, he think its the only way he can stronger. But thats what our practices are for! I think he feels really bad about it, though. I'm trying to convince him to join the royal guard, but he seems content with his job as librarian.January 1st, 2003,
I'm a real royal guardsman. Nobody thought a peaceful monster could do it, but I showed them! To make it better? Sans quit his job, said he needed to switch things up. I got him a simple job as a guard. He doesn't get to any fun stuff like I do, but a strong monster like him should be protecting people, not killing them. He's gotten better at hiding his genocide from me, but I still see pocket knives around the underground and dust is never far.April 6th, 2003
Humans are fascinating. They are so strong. Sans asked me what I'd do if I ever saw a human. Would I kill it or spare it and become a criminal? It's making me think. For the good of the community? I'd kill it. Ethically and painlessly, though. I probably won't ever have to deal with that decision, though, so I'm not worried about it.
