Fairytale - An Undertale AU

Chapter 20 - Alone

Rolling over on the bed, I groan. Dream pulls the blankets over his head as I push his arm. He hasn't checked on any of the worlds in three weeks. He did it after Ink and I fought, but that's only because Ink made him. He's kind of slacking. Sitting my, I rub my eyes and yawn. And I'm getting my cast off today, so Ink said he hand to go check. Swinging my legs over to edge of the bed, I teleport myself and Dream into the writing space. He still has the blanket wrapped around him.

"Hey," Ink says, looking at me. Groggily, I nod.

"Can't I sleep in a bit longer?" Dream groans.

"No," Ink responds, throwing a pillow he manifested at him. The pillow poofs.

"I hate you," Dream responds, straightening out.

"We love you, too," I retort, laughing. He rolls his eyes and we glide over to Ink. Thankfully, we have a professional taking it off. Classic Sans. It'll be fine, he has a PHD, or at least, I think. Dream looks between Ink and I, only to sigh and throw his head back. Ink looks at him, crossing his arms.

"I'm going!" Dream says, raising his hands defensively and teleporting away. Looking at Ink, I laugh and shake my head. He raises an eyebrow and I calm down, relaxing. We close our eyes and teleport to the lab behind Sans's house. Once I open my eyes, I sigh. Sans walks in, smiling at us. Suddenly, I topple over. Can't teleport standing, forgot about that. He lifts me up with his powers, setting me on the table.

"Heya," he says, walking over with a hand saw. "By the way, how did this happen?" he asks, looking between Ink and I. Chuckling, I scratch the back of my head. Ink sighs, doodling with his thumbs. Sans crosses his arms. "I'm not taking off the cast until you tell me," he says. Sighing, I put my arm down.

"Well, after I fought Error," I start.

"Wait, you fought Error?!" he cries. Stopping, I laugh.

"Yeah, but we're cool now. Anyways, after I fought Error, my powers got stronger. And I ask found out that I have a soul connected to mine. Her name is Anna. Old friend of Ink's. After that, Anna took control for a while and talked with Error, making us friends. Then, this idiot got kidnapped by Nightmare, Dream's evil twin. While he, Dream, Error, and I were fighting, he managed to break my leg. But only because I wasn't at full power since I fought Error," I say, shrugging. Sans looks at me, eyes wide. Ink chuckles, sighing.

"And through all of this, no one bothers to cALL ME?!" he yells.

"Oh, yeah, I was going to," Ink begins.

"Shut your mouth," Sans says to Ink.

"Yeah, and he poisoned Ink, so I managed to teleport us all to Underswap. There, Undyne patched me up and I've been lazing around since," I continue, ignoring his comments. He pinches the bridge of his skull, slightly aggravated. Ink shrugs and Sans composes himself. Straightening up, he turns on the saw. "Don't catch me with that," I laugh nervously.

"Don't worry about it, I promise tiba careful," he chuckles. Smiling, I muffle my laughter as he starts cutting into the cast. Once he finishes, the air is coated with dust from it. He slides it off, brushing some of the powder from it off my leg. After coughing a bit, I smile. "There you go, good as new," he says, resting his hands on his hips. Jumping off the table, I fall over. "Jeez kid, go easy on the thing," Sans adds, looking at me.

"Yeah, yeah," I say, rolling my eyes. Getting up, my legs shake. Ink walks over, throwing my arm around his shoulders. Smiling at Sans, I sigh. "Well, thanks, I guess," I say. We turn, about to walk out.

"Come back here. You two aren't getting off that easy," Sans calls at us. Sighing, Ink and I turn on our heels. Sans crosses his arms, shaking his head. "You fight not only Error, but also Nightmare. And you don't even lift the phone and say, 'Oh, Sans, we are fighting a god, so you might wanna, I don't know, come help?' Seriously," he says. "You and I have a lot to ketchup on, bud. You better mustard the courage to talk to me. Trust me, I'll relish it. Might even take it as a condiment. Now, I invite you, cumin and sesame all about it," he says. It takes me a minute, as I process what he says. Ink starts groaning and I burst out laughing. Sans winks at us and I wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes.
