Experimentation: An Underswap Fanfiction

Ventilation

        Sans clenches his fists. Temmie is very upset with him, and he knows it. He braces for whatever she's going to do.

        "i'm de pupPeteER..." Temmie says as she points to herself and slowly paces towards Sans furiously. Temmie grows angrier and angrier each word she says and step she takes. "end ur Da pUPPEt..." She growls as she points to Sans. She moves her hand to her left sending Sans gently to the same direction. "AnD u dont intERfere!" She shouts as she harshly moves her paw surrounded in Sans' magic to the right. He's sent flying to the right abruptly and he skids through the muddy ground. Mini shards of rock scratch his body and he rolls into a large boulder. He hears a crack in his head which is extremely painful. He moans as he grabs his head. He feels a crack stretching down to his left eye. He tries to open it, but to no avail. He may not be able to produce magic from it anymore. Just like Papyrus. He isn't given any time to recover and is sent flying to the left. He once again is slammed into a tree. His clothes are wrecked with a gaping hole where his soul is and several rips. He feels himself lift up again and is plopped in front of Temmie. He pants slowly as he thinks over what just happened. He is definitely hurt bad but not as bad as in Muffet's. Temmie doesn't seem like she wants to heal him anyway. He starts to think about his and Papyrus' eye. He remembers finding him outside in the snow holding his right eye in pain with all his magic depleted. Sans attempted to heal him, but it was too late. If a monster takes too long in healing an injury, it'll be permanently damaged. It never really bugged Papyrus though. He says it makes him look cool. When Sans found him outside, he kept asking what had happened. But Papyrus only responded with him "slipping and falling." Sans brushed it off because he only wanted him safe. But now it's nagging at him. He's snapped back to reality when he hears Temmie say something under her breath. "Do U no WAt et feeLS leik 2 b treATed like trASH...?" Sans gives her a weak and puzzled look. Of course he knows. That's what she's been doing to him all day. Temmie growls frustratedly. "4 ur HOle liEF!?" Sans lets her vent as he massages his eye. It looks like she's been keeping it in for a while. Temmie's blood is boiling with anger. Although, she doesn't know from who. Herself, Sans, dad, mom...

        Temmie summons Temmie Flakes and examines them. "du u nO Wat it's leik 2 b surrOUNded bai ppl hOo tri tu halp u... End they CANT!?" She throws the Temmie Flakes through the tall grass which cuts a line of it in half. "No maTTER wat they du, they Cant halp u. NO 1 CAEN!" She shouts as she stomps her foot in the mud. The rain seems to be pouring harder and the Waterfall is twice as gloomy before inhabitants have been... Eliminated... Sans expects Temmie to break down crying like he would do. But she's tired of crying. When she was trapped in the garden, that's all she did. She cried and cried and cried. But nobody came. Temmie sits on the ground and stares up at the rain. Sans rubs his head attempting to soothe the pain from the crack and stares at her. She has been through a lot and Sans can tell. He doesn't know the specifics, but he wants to help. Something caused her to be so... Unfriendly. He tries to scoot next to her, but his own magic trapped him in the position he's in. Sans instead looks up at the rain with Temmie. Drops of water fall down his face and washes whatever dirt caked it. He finally speaks up.

        "I can help." Temmie glances over at Sans and chuckles.

        "No u cAN't." She smirks depressingly. "Eye haveNT been abl 2 feel luV 4 a LoNg time." Sans is shocked. Impossible! No one can resist love from the Magnificent Sans!

        "I'm sure I can! The Magnificent Sans never backs down from a challenge!" He cheerfully declares as he clenches his fist towards the sky. "I am going to make you feel love!" He points at Temmie and winks. "Do not fret, because I'm always here to support you!" Temmie rolls her eyes. She's heard him say that so many times, it's not even funny. In countless timelines, she's told Sans about her past. From start to finish, every detail. Every time Sans claims he can help her. He has created a Temmie fan club, a love training program, and a happiness trial. All failed to make her feel something. But she's always lied and said to him they worked. She's got to make her subject happy after all. In this timeline, she knows she's been treating Sans terribly. But it'll all be worth it. She's the one who's going to be helping him. They'll have so much fun! But right now, she's got to remind Sans that his optimistic junk isn't relevant in this run.

        "Eye don'T caer about Ur stupID fan clUb!" She yells. Sans recoils, startled. He just thought about making a Temmie fan club... Sans addresses to himself unsettlingly that she knows everything about everyone. "Teh onli thing THaet maeks mi happI naow, Es sATIsfaction. And ur 2 uselESS 2 figur oute how tu satIsFY mi urself." Sans looks down sadly.

        "R-really?" He asks self consciously. Temmie laughs.

        "Of coURse! Ur lucki i lied end SaiD thaet ur stUpid lUv training woerked. Ur even moer uSEless brothR wouldv killEd mi." Temmie says as she smiles, showing her teeth. "Ha! He hAEs b4!" Sans' stomach dropped. Papyrus... Killed her? How? Sans has never seen him kill anyone before. Temmie is very strong anyways. It'd be for a really good reason. Temmie's comment lingers on his mind too long. The silence in between them is broken when she says, "dont worRI sans, youll du moer than sATISfy me latr. I'll halp u Sans. We'll hav s0 muche fUN togeTHER." Sans shudders. He went from in pain, to hopeful, to scared in a matter of minutes. When will it end? Papyrus has to be around here somewhere. He'll find him... He HAS to... Right? Sans gulps and breathes out shakily. Papyrus has to know at least a little about what's going on. With everyone gone and... Muffet... He has to do something! Temmie looks at Sans who's staring at the ground. She smirks. She knows that face. She's seen it a lot today. "ThinKIN boUT papyrus rite?" She says slyly. Sans squints at the ground. He wraps his hands around his knees and rests his head on them. He nods slowly. Temmie has become extremely observant over the... Same day over and over. She desperately wanted new things to do so she searched every single nook and cranny to find SOMETHING. And just a different change of pace can change everything. This run is definitely her favorite. Temmie shakes her head while smiling and looks away. "Liek eye SAId earlIEr, he isnt comin. He's 2 lazy tu caer abut his ONli brothR." She says mockingly. Sans closes his eyes tightly. That's the exact topic he and Papyrus fought about... Did he hurt his feelings that much? He wasn't doing anything extraordinary... Suddenly, the thought crosses his mind. Papyrus sometimes acts like he knows what Sans and others are going to say or do. Just like Temmie. He doesn't make it as obvious as her, but he's addressed during the argument they had this morning that they've had the same dispute multiple times. And he hasn't forgotten the nightmares... Sans has woken up hearing Papyrus screaming multiple times. He's always left him alone so he doesn't embarrass him, but the other day he went into his room after hearing him shout his name. He attempted to comfort Papyrus by asking him what the nightmare was about. But he refused and said that he's explained it before a million times. Sans brushed it off as embarrassment but, something strange is going on. Temmie sighs and stand up to look around the room. "BOi, we maed a mess oF diS PLAce huh?" She addresses. Sans doesn't answer and looks away. Temmie shrugs and lifts him off the ground. She examines him explicitly. "Ur magIC levl Es fine. End I'll leaVE ur eye liek thaet. Take et as punISHMent so U dont mess up ma plans AGain. Got Et?" She says as she pokes Sans' soul playfully. Sans nods again and rubs his arm bashfully. Temmie walks out of the room and continues to search for monsters to dispose of. The rain eventually stops and not a sound is heard from the Waterfall. As if the creeks and streams suddenly went quiet. She doesn't find the goat child anywhere, but a bunch of other monsters sadly don't have the same case. Every single one looked at Sans, desperate for help. Sans' guilt increases every fight. Eventually, Temmie runs left and right erratically with no one there to fight. She's completely cleared the Waterfall. "1 moer 2 go!" She cackles.
