Sans POV

I blushed, my face surely a blueberry by now. I felt eyes on me. I looked up in time to see Frisk, Emma, Alphys, Undyne, and Mettaton moving quickly away. I tried not to show how shocked I was. I heard Frisk giggle as they rounded a corner and left my sight. Well okay then...

I sit down in a chair outside of Emma's room and wait for them to return. My mind begins wandering to Frisk again. Lately I haven't been able to get them out of my head. Or, skull, I guess. I mean, I know that I have a small thing for Frisk. A tiny, miniscule, deniable, un-noticable, ignorable, crush. That I really don't feel like talking about.

I fiddle with my hands for a bit. The sharp bone reflected the blue light I figured was now dusting my cheeks. Think of something else. Anything else besides her.

'How about...puns? Those are cool.'

Yeah, she always loved 'em.

'Or science!'

She doesn't know about how my joke book has a physics book in it.

'The beach!'

She told me about it. The sunset shining against the sand like stars. So beautiful-

'GASTER!'

That gets me up and running again. I do a quick scan of the area. I swear I can see his face in every shadow. I turn in circles, then begin to pace, then I just stand, slowly sweating through my jacket. He gave it to me. I yank it off and tie it around me waist. I hate the white t-shirt I have on, but I can't do much about it now.

I check the giant clock on the wall of the tan walled room. This was a part of the lab that was usually closed off. The kid had only just started exploring the better taken care of parts of the lab. This room was like a hospital waiting room. Off to my right was a hallway leading to a group of rooms, one belonging to Emma. A door to my left leads to the room with a shower in it. That is part of the once spooky lab. Now the True Lab was finally getting cleaned up. No more spiderwebs or dust hanging about. The rooms are brightly lit, clean, and mostly tan now. This room has a few chairs pushed up against the wall, a few in the center, and one big desk right in front of me. This is where you would sign in for experiments and medical care. This is the hospital of the Underground after all.

It's already been 30 minutes since everyone disappeared, and I'm getting tired of waiting for them. Oh well. Crashing parties sounds like fun now anyway. I shrug to myself and make for the small hallway Mettaton fled down what felt like seconds ago.

I follow the sounds of Undyne's yelling and Mettaton's overwhelming attitude. It wasn't hard. For a hospital this place had some thin walls, not that I was complaining, I was getting uneasy all alone in this place. It brought back memories that were better left dead. Turned to ash, and blown away in the wind. Just like Papyrus, right?

*A feeling of uneasiness filled the room. Sans jolt awake from a nap. He shivers.*

Sans: paps? *Shouts a bit louder.* paps? where is he?

*Sans stands up from the couch he didn't remember falling asleep on. He wanders a bit before finding a note taped to the front door. "I WENT OUT TO FIGHT THE HUMAN!! I SHALL BE BACK SOON!" For some reason the thought of Frisk and Papyrus fighting fills Sans with dread.*

Sans: *Shakes the feeling away.* pap will be fine. he can handle himself, right? Right?

*Sans teleports to Grilby's, attempting to forget about his uneasiness. Eventually, he goes to check on Papyrus. It shouldn't take this long.... should it?*
