Sans tucked his brother in to bed after telling him a story and Sans smiled weakly and sighed softly realizing how much he still had to do, "im sorry brother...but I cant slow down now iv got things to do" Sans left his brother to rest and got his lab coat and went back down into the laboratory. "Fluffy and Bubbles" the two Gaster Blasters where just floating around nudging each other and greeted Sans playfully when he entered the lab with little licks. Sans took a deep breath and sighed softly smiling at the G.B's then returned to his task at hand, He looked up at the giant computer pulling off all the garbage and tarps keeping it from collecting dust and began looking around for some sort of power switch. Sans quickly got frustrated due to lack of sleep and stress and walked away from the computer for a moment for some sort of manual to teach him; hoping his father wasn't a idiot and actually left something to show how it worked. The lights flickered and suddenly the computer turned on by itself...? Sans heard something back in the computer room as all the remaining working lights flicked on. A few rooms still caged in darkness he lit some candles in the dim main office of the laboratory. 

He looked around for a moment, the place was surprisingly well kept besides the horrid lighting issue, Sans pulled out a pen and paper and began making a small list of things that needed to be fixed. Sans returned into the computer room and was confronted with a screen, a few of the monitors had stopped working but something was typed onto the screen. Sans looked at the screen puzzled "what could this be?" He asked himself. "fluffy... can you help me bring this bookcase over here?" Sans quickly ran back into the other room.

After about a hour of reading through books Gaster had in his bookcase. He found a translation page on these mysterious keys. The mysterious words on the screen still there but seemed to be flickering now... was the power source acting funny? Sans began trying to translate them. "Hello, Sans" The words translated and Sans felt his heart leap into his throat throwing the book. "w-who are you?! How do you know my name?" Sans asked in shock unsure whether this 'thing' would even hear him. The screen typed again and Sans scrambled to translate. "I never left, Sans" It responded. "YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!" Sans pressed feeling tears start to form in his eyes his fathers smile appear in his mind. "sans. don't cry..." It responded. "SHUT UP! YOUR NOT ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?" Sans yelled feeling frustrated, lost and unsure on life in general. 

"sans, we can discuss that later. I need you to stop yelling and listen" It responded. "NO! I'M DONE WITH YOU!" Sans shut down the computer and shook his head covering his eyes and sobbing softly. "I.... I cant....." He fell off his chair his body feeling like a 1000 pounds and curled up into a ball on the floor. "Why me? why..." He sobbed softly anguish overcame him....
