Her (Sans X reader)

47

After all the signs were put up, we all made up a 'stage' at the base of Mt. Ebott, which is where we said we'd hold our meeting.

"I really hope this works," Alphys said.

"Trust me, even if three people show up, that'll be enough to get some of the monsters out. We could always round up more people when we get more monsters out here," Sans reassured her.

"I know, but what if nobody shows up? How can we be certain that humans have changed their minds?"

Sans sighed and I spoke up, "hey, Alphys, it's okay. I got Sans out. You got out by the help of your machine. Even if I have to fall down Mt. Ebott multiple times to free every monster in the Underground, I will."

"No you won't," Sans said.

"What?"

"You almost died the last time you fell down. Your body won't be able to handle another fall. Don't worry, people will show up."

I looked at Alphys and she nodded, "alright," she said and began to place another board on the 'stage.'

I walked over to Sans, "hey, can we talk?" I asked.

"Yeah. What's up?"

I sighed, "Alphys is worried and scared. Please don't say something to make her more worried. If I have to reassure her by saying I'll risk my life to get everyone out, I will. I started this, I'll be damned if I don't end it."

Sans turned towards me and put a bony hand on my shoulder. "Skylar, I understand she's worried, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stand here and listen to you say that you'll risk your life. You said yourself she came out here using a machine she built. If anything, we can send the directions on how to make the machine to the Underground and they can make enough for everyone to get out. I refuse to listen to you talk like this, it tears me apart whenever you talk about you dying, so please, can we drop this conversation?"

I looked at him for a second before nodding. He kissed me on the forehead and I went back to what I was doing.

It took two hours but we were finally done setting up the 'stage.' It wasn't really a stage, it was a poorly done floor made of wooden boards we found laying around. (They weren't just 'laying around,' we may or may not have stolen them from the store but it's fine). There were a few Christmas lights strewn around to make it look friendlier, and a megaphone because we couldn't afford a microphone. We have a budget, okay?

"Well, I suppose we could have made it a little neater, but we're on a tight schedule, so it'll have to do," Sans said. Alphys and I nodded. "So, we set the time thing for in another hour, so what do we do?"

"Just sit and wait, I guess," I said.

It was thirty five minutes later when someone walked up. It was the lady that lived in my old house.

"Hello, is this where we're supposed to meet for breaking the barrier?"

"Yes! Hello, ma'am," I said, standing up before the others.

"Oh, hello. It's nice to see you again. Did you find a place to stay?"

"Yes ma'am, I just stayed in the shack that's at the top of Mt. Ebott."

"You could have just come to see me. I would have helped in any way I could."

"I know, but I had more on my plate than I thought. But you're really helping us now."

"Good, I'm glad. I hated that they locked the monsters up. Everyone was living peacefully together, but the humans decided they didn't like it anymore. It was completely unfair."

"Yes ma'am, it was." Sans and Alphys walked up beside me. "Oh, this is Sans," I said motioning to him, "and this is Alphys," I said, motioning to her.

"Hello. I really hope I'm not the only person to show up. Honestly, others must have a heart."

"Oh, no, you came early, we've still got another twenty minutes to go."

Twenty minutes later, there was a whole crowd of people. It seemed like everyone in the town came to help us open the barrier. Alphys and Sans looked at the crowd in astonishment.

"I was not expecting this many people," Sans said.

"Hey, I told you, people have changed. They're finally ready for different."

Sans breathed heavily in and out before stepping up to the megaphone. A silence washed over the crowd.

I'm a shit person. I know. I got sick on Wednesday. Felt like absolute shit Thursday and slept all day when I got home. Stayed home from school Friday bc I was going to the doctor and it turns out I have a double ear infection. Which is going away bc drugs (yay) but now I have a really bad cough. And everyone keeps staring at me when I cough in class (which is a lot) and ugh. I had two chapters written out and everything and I got sick. Fml.
