Chapter 09: Last Dance

As soon as they entered Grillby's, the whole place was brought to life. Monsters had learned that Serifa was going to come and dance with everyone that night, so the place was filled. Everyone cheered at her arrival.

She didn't lose a moment. After asking Grillby for dancing music, she started dancing, pulling people from their chairs to dance with her.The whole pub became a big dancing party. Even Grillby himself joined them at some point.

Papyrus didn't lose time either. He went right at the centre, where Serifa was, to show off his dancing skills. No one had seen Papyrus dance before and no one expected him to be so passionate about it. Even he,himself didn't expect to enjoy it so much, especially at that place. And it was the first time he had ever tried dancing at all.

Sans stood in the corner drinking some ketchup and watching everyone, but not for long. Serifa soon noticed him and dragged him in the centre, making him dance with her and Papyrus. The goofy trio was really entertaining to watch. But it wasn't just them. All the monsters in the pub were dancing, not caring if they were doing it right or how they looked. It was like a reunion of old classmates, meeting and having fun together without a care in the world.

Soon,Papyrus had to leave. He needed to sleep early so he could wake up for his training. Sans left with him to read him his bedtime story.When he returned to the party, he found Serifa dancing vigorously on a table, along with Drunk Bun. Everyone else was dancing around them and cheering. Sans was really happy watching Serifa make new friends so easily and have fun. He rejoined the dance.

That night, almost everyone in Snowdin returned home late, but full of energy and contentment. They all promised to dance with Serifa tomorrow again. Every night was going to be a party from now on.

-Did you have fun tonight sweetheart? Sans held Serifa's waist as they walked home.

-Yes!It was so great!! The people here are amazing! she replied excitedly.

-Hey,what's that under the tree? Sans asked, pointing to a recently-placed present under the decorated tree. I think it has your name on it...

-What? Serifa knelt down and grabbed the present. You're right... It's my name! Who could have brought this here?

Serifa opened the present, finding a pair of new pink ice-skates inside. She looked at Sans surprised.

-When did you...?

-I...have my ways! Sans winked. I mean, I sure didn't leave the party JUST for Paps's story...

-I'm...I'mat a loss for words here...Thank you so much Sansy!! Serifa smiled and wrapped her arms around him.

-Well,if you wanna thank me...why don't you use them tonight? You don't look tired anyway.

-Sure but, do you have ice-skates too?

-No,not yet. When you manage to persuade everyone to teach them how to ice-skate, I'll join you. But tonight...tonight I want you to dance just for me.

Sans looked deeply into her eyes. She smiled at him.

-Alright...Let's go to find a frozen lake!

They walked to Snowdin forest. Only a few hours had passed, but it was very different. There was only silence. Serifa leaned her head on Sans' shoulder while walking.

-Sans...thank you for saving me.

-What's that all of a sudden?

-I was just thinking...I'm really enjoying being here...I really feel...alive.
