Five Nights in Undertale AKA Sans and Frisk get a job

Calm before the storm...

Sans sighed as he sat on the couch. The short skeleton just couldn't make himself sleep. And that was a new feeling for him. Usually, Sans could fall asleep pretty easily. Even when he was stuck in the reset loop, he managed to nap all the time. But now, it seemed impossible. And he had no clue why. Frisk likewise couldn't sleep. However, she knew what her problem was. She was trying to figure out how to free the human souls. She had thought of a few ways, but none had seemed to give any good ending.

"Why don't we just kill them =)?" And that was another reason why she couldn't figure anything out. Chara's colorful commentary. The girl had decided that she had enough sitting around doing nothing, and decided to go visit Alex and Shard.

~Zenith Park~

Zenith Park was a beautiful little park in Ebbot City. Many people went there to picnic, play with pets, or simply relax. However, on one Thursday a month, the tranquil park exploded with life... literally. Frisk pondered this as she saw the spectacle before her. An emerald green Railgun fired a green beam that was met with a large blue spear. The resulting explosion would have torn a smaller Frisk off her feet, but at her current age it only made her flinch. Once a month, on a Thursday, Undyne and Shard rented the park out, and used it as a large training field. However, a flying rock colliding with a purple hammer reminded Frisk that others would tend to join them. Today, it was Kyoya and Alex joining the duo. Speaking of which, Kyoya summoned a Decimation Cannon, and fired it at Shard and Alex. The wolf monster responded by summoning a hammer to block. Through the smoke of the resulting explosion, Shard sent a large group of crystals to spear Kyoya. The teen nearly teleported away, and picked up another boulder.

"Really? Boulder spamming? That's the tactic you're going with?" Kyoya shrugged.

"It works." And with that, the large rock was sent flying at them. Alex was about to block it, but Undyne ran in front of him, and caught the boulder. She then proceeded to throw the boulder back at Kyoya, but with ten times the force. "Well, shit." With a timely teleport, Kyoya narrowly dodged being crushed to death. He landed by a nearby tree, and leaned against it. "I vote that we call it a day. Anybody else?" Alex responded simply by passing out, and Shard just nodded. The teen then noticed Frisk sitting by one of the many destroyed trees, and smiled.

"Oh, hey Frisk!" Undyne looked up from trying to inspire Alex, and grinned when she saw Frisk.

"Hey best buddy!" The fish monster then proceeded to capture Frisk in a bone-crushing job. "I heard you got a job! How is it." Undyne let Frisk go, and the girl took a moment to catch her breath before responding.

"It's... interesting..." She turned to Shard. "Oh Shard, I have to talk to you about something." He grinned.

"Sure." The two then walked off to find a bench Undyne hadn't used as a baseball bat. They eventually found one, and sat down to talk.

"Listen. I know you have quite a bit of knowledge about souls..." Shard raised a brow.

"Yeah... So?" Frisk fidgeted in her seat.

"I was wondering... if you know how to release souls from bonding." He gave her a look.

"This is about Freddy's, isn't it." She sighed.

"I just want to give them their happy ending." Shard smiled.

"Yeah, I know how you feel. But trust me, if there was I would have tried it already." Frisk sighed.

"Yeah. I guess that's true..." Frisk trailed off, seemingly in thought.

"Listen... Maybe if you put their souls to rest, they will have peace. How, I have no idea. But, hey, that's a start!" Frisk giggled at the face Shard made.

"Right." Frisk stood up, stretching her back, and turned to the still sitting Shard. "Well, I better get going. I need to prepare for tonight." Shard nodded.

"Right. Well, good luck!" The teen waved goodbye as Frisk walked off.

~With Sans~

Sans had woken up to a note frisk Frisk telling him that the teen had gone to Zenith park. The skeleton smiled, and looked out a nearby window to see sunset.

"wow. i slept that long?"

"YES. YES YOU DID, BROTHER!" Sans noted that Papyrus was shouting from the kitchen, meaning that he was cooking something. He also noted that he could smell butterscotch, cinnamon, and dough. This led him to the conclusion that Papyrus was helping Toriel with her baking. The short skeleton poked his head into the kitchen, and found that his assumption was correct. Papyrus was currently looking into the oven while Toriel sat at the table, grading papers from a test she had given her students earlier in the day. Sans grinned, and looked over to his tall brother.

"well, bro, i guess i was bone tired." Toriel burst out laughing, an Papyrus slammed his face against the oven in exasperation. The skeleton shouted as he recoiled from the device, his face tinged black. "you okay, bro?" Sans' eyes were filled with worry. Papyrus stood up, and glared at his brother.

"SANS! I AM SICK OF HEARING YOUR STUPID JOKES!!!" Sans grinned, noting that his brother was completely fine.

"sorry, bro. just don't go skulking around the whole day." Papyrus smiled.

"DO NOT FEAR, BROTHER, I WILL-!" The tall skeleton cut himself off, noticing the pun his brother made. Papyrus never continued what he was going to say. Settling for throwing his oven mitts at his brother and storming out of the kitchen.

"you're smilin', pap." Sans said to his brother.

"I KNOW AND I HATE IT!" He shouted back. Sans simply chuckled, and smiled when he saw Toriel trying to compose herself. He thought of the work shift he had to go to that night, and felt a warm feeling fill his soul, one he had not felt for a while.

'determination. heh. haven't felt that in a while.' Sans thought back to when the RESETS had started occurring. He remembered that he couldn't ever remember who would cause them, just that they happened, and that people went from escaping to dying after a while. He did later find out from both Frisk and Flowey that it was the demonic buttercup that caused it. So, after some spinning in the air from Sans' blue magic, Flowey apologized, and Sans decided to tolerate the flower's presence in the house. Thinking about Frisk also brought him back to when he first met the human. He had originally believed that she was the anomaly, and wanted to destroy her immediately (he wasn't actually joking when he had told the kid that without Toriel's promise they would have been dead where they stood). But he eventually befriended the kid, and their friendship only got closer when Frisk ended Chara's genocide loop. 'i'm glad papy doesn't remember...' Sans shivered at the thought of his brother finding out. He had only told Alphys about the genocide timelines, since she had known of the existence of the RESETS through the anomaly radars Sans and Gaster had set up. Shooing away the nostalgic thought, he looked at Toriel. "well, i'm gonna go find the kid. i want to get to the pizzeria early." Toriel nodded, and Sans walked out of the kitchen. He teleported out of the house, and to Zenith Park, now complete with craters from the battle that had occurred, and saw Frisk waving at Shard. The short skeleton smiled as he teleported behind Frisk.

"hey, kiddo." Frisk jumped, not expecting the voice of her best friend/duncle. Sans could hear Shard laughing in the background.

"Sans. You startled me." Frisk shot a glare at the laughing teen far behind Sans, and mentally flipped off the demon currently residing in her conscience.

"heh. i guess nothing can SAVE you from my startling presence." Frisk laughed, and Chara groaned inside Frisk's head.

"Good one. But to be honest, your teleportation ability really rattles my bones." Chara shouted at Frisk.

'Shut up, Frisk.' Said girl laughed in response, and Chara groaned.

"well, anyways, we should probably get going." Frisk nodded, and took Sans hand. The skeleton's left eye flashed cyan for a second before him and Frisk vanished, Frisk's vision going black. When it returned, the two were standing in front of Freddy Fazbear's. Frisk took a deep breath, determination rising, and steeled themselves for the night ahead.
