SansPOV
When we returned back home, I heaved a sigh of relief, drooping my eyesockets until they were almost closed. "Tired?" Mabel asked, as Papyrus marched back up to his room. Right before he closed the door, he turned to me. "SANS?"
"Yeah bro?"
"Can you read me a bedtime story?" Those words struck me, the memories of all of the different timelines coming back. It felt good to hear those words again. Just the fact that he was alive, and safe just made me happy. I grinned widely, making my way upstairs to read him his story. "Anything for you bro."

As I trudged back downstairs, leaving my happy and asleep little brother, I found Mabel, sitting up on the couch, looking through an old scrapbook. Curiously, I snuck the rest of the way downstairs, peeking over the back of the couch as I looked at what Mabel was so into. She was almost at the end, but I was shocked to see what was in it.
"As the summer is about to close, the unthinkable happened: Me and Dipper fell down this giant mountain, and found the monsters that have been living Underground for so long! A lot of them are really nice, and friendly, but I don't know what's gotten into Dipper. The monsters are so nice! Especially the skeleton brothers. There's Papyrus, who's all about spaghetti, puzzles and screaming, and then there's Sans. He doesn't talk as much as Papyrus, but he loves to sleep, eat and just being lazy. I mean, I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I actually like the guy... A lot... He seemed just as happy as that flower we met at the beginning of our journey-"
Flower? Oh no, that's not good. I let out a little gasp as I thought about Papyrus, and how he said once that he talks to a talking flower... Maybe it's the same one. I covered my mouth as I dashed upstairs, trying not to get caught, and just sleep it off. But whatever I did, I couldn't sleep. Just the thought of Mabel and Papyrus knowing that flower... It worried me. Just... Be okay guys... I thought to myself as I drifted away into the night.

I awoke to a loud beating on my door, and I trudged out of bed in response. It was soon flung open, as I was knocked back, and onto the floor. Papyrus, who knocked me down in the first place, immediately scooping me up in his arms and squeezing the stars out of my eyes. "SORRY, BROTHER! I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE THERE! I FIGURED YOU WERE STILL NOT FEELING WELL, SO I WANTED TO GIVE YOU BREAKFAST IN BED!" I gave a small smile as Papyrus laid me back in bed, handing me a bowl of spaghetti. "Thanks Pap, you didn't have to."
A took a bite of my brother's pasta, swallowing it down as I thought about what I had read the previous night in Mabel's scrapbook. I figured I'd go to Grillbz and ask her about it for lunch, after I finished this. It wasn't that bad for Papyrus, I could tell he was improving. But what scared me was that both Mabel and Papyrus knew the talking flower. Is that what changed Dipper into a killing machine? My fork trembled in my hand as I thought about everyone I ever loved, changing into monsters. They'd all either die, or being the ones killing all of the innocent souls. And what about Papyrus? Which side would he take? I shook the thoughts away as I stretched out of bed, walking downstairs to do the dishes. Not that I would do them now, since I'm really lazy at the moment. I grabbed a step-stool to reach the sink, when a voice pierced the awkward silence. "Sans! Are you alright? It looks like something RATTLED YOUR BONES!" I turned towards the noise, seeing Mabel pokin her head over the couch. She grinned widely as she saw my expression, and giggled at it. "You trying to steal my job, kiddo?"
"Well, it looks like a good opportunity and all, but sleeping on the job is kinda your thing." I rolled my eyes as she proved she was right. "Fine fine, you wanna head to Grillby's?"
"But didn't you just have some spaghetti?"
"Eh, it doesnt really fill you," I shrugged as I headed for the door."Come on,"

"Mabel..."
"Y-yeah?"
"Do you know anything about a talking flower."
"..."
"Im... Im sorry for asking..."
"Well... Actually, I do."
