You go to the skeleton brothers home and knock on the door. "I GOT IT BROTHER," you heard Papyrus shout through the door. Papyrus opened the door and you immediately got hugged by him.

"Papy... can't...... breathe," you gasped struggling to get air in to your lungs.

"SORRY, (Y/N)," he apologized as he lets go of you.

"pap, who's at the door?" Sans asked, most likely on the stairs.

"IT'S (Y/N)," he replied happily to his brother.

There was a snap and immediately Sans was at your side. "hey kid, where'd you go yesterday?" He asked worridly.

"I didn't want to invade your house so I left and stayed in the woods. My parents taught me survival tricks to survive. But then it got cold so I stayed in a hotel" you half lied. You had only fully trusted them last night when you saw they still did no harm.

"YOU ARE NOT INVADING (Y/N). WE'RE HAPPY TO SHELTER YOU," Papyrus told you.

"Thanks Pappy. Can I come in?"

"sure thing kiddo." Papyrus opened the door and the first thing you smell is spaghetti.

"It smells really good," you exclaimed happily.

"WHY THANK YOU! THE GREAT PAPYRUS DOES MAKE THE BEST SPAGHETTI!" Papyrus stated proudly. I
"you can stay for lunch if you want," Sans offered.

"R-really? Thank you!" you were surprised it was already lunch time but you didn't complain. Hotel breakfast didn't really fill you up.

(Time skip brought to you by actually warm spaghetti)

You, Sans, and Papyrus sat down and began to eat the spaghetti. "It's amazing Papyrus!"

"i agree with her bro."

"OF COURSE IT IS, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, MADE IT!"

Papyrus and Sans talked but you weren't listening. You stayed out of the conversation until Sans and Papyrus started talking about something that your attention. "SECRET DANCED AMAZINGLY YESTERDAY!" Papyrus exclaimed.

"yeah, i wonder why she left though. we were having so much fun dancing."

"PERHAPS SHE WAS TO INTIMIDATED BY MY SUPERIOR DANCING!"

"maybe,"Sans replied with a small chuckle. You finished your spaghetti and began to head towards the door. "Thank you for lunch Papyrus," you said kindly.

"NOT A PROBLEM, (Y/N)!"

"hey kid, don't go yet. why don't we go to grillbys?"

"Yeah, I love his food! It's really good!" You shouted excitedly, despite having just ate.

"okay then, let's go."

Sans grabbed your hand and teleported to Grillbys with you and you sat down on one of the seats. "so, when did you come here, kid?" Sans asked.

"The day that guy flirted with me in the alley," you replied a bit hesitantly. Sans' eyesockets went black. The white pin pricks that were there no longer there. "Sans?" You asked, snapping him out of his haze.

"sorry, kid, didn't mean to scare ya."

"What can I get you both?" Grillby asked. "hey grillby! can i have a ketchup and fries please?" A look of recognition must have crossed his face, because you now knew he remembers you.

"Have we met before?" He asked a bit hesitantly.

"Yeah.... You thought I was Sans," you laughed nervously.

"Oh, that's right. I never caught your name."

"I never threw it,"You replied with a joking smile. Sans snickered.

"At least I know for a fact you're friends with Sans," Grillby sighed with slight annoyance.

"My name is (Y/n)."

"That's a nice name," He replied warmly as he reached under the counter and handed Sans a bottle of ketchup.

"I'll be right back with your food," Grillby said to you before disappearing in the kitchen.

"i'll be right back kid," Sans told you before teleporting somewhere.

Both Sans and Grillby came back at the same time. "Here you go," Grillby smiled, placing the meal in front of you.

"grillbz, can you put her meal on my tab? thanks."

"Actually, (Y/n) do you have a place to live?" This chat just went down hill.

"Uh, no, I don't actually," you laughed nervously.

"Well you can live here. I have a spare room downstairs, and you can also work here to pay off rent and earn some extra money," Grillby suggested. You were shocked by his kindness.
"N-No, I'll be fine."
"Come on, I insist you stay here."
"But-"
"No buts."
You sighed, "Thank you Grillby."

"Not a problem (Y/n). Now I'll show you where you're staying."

"i'm gonna go home kid, see ya tomorrow," Sans waved before teleporting away.

Grillby brought you to a room downstairs in a basement like structure. "Your room is over there," Grillby pointed to a room. You thanked him and walked over to it. There was a twin size mattress, a chair, and some shelves. There was one window but it was ok. You found an outlet and looked through your bag. You found your phone charger and plugged your phone in. It was beautiful weather outside so you decided to go for a walk around the town.

(Time skip brought to you by Grillbys kindness)

You're phone was now fully charged so you went back upstairs. "I'm gonna go for a walk Grillby!" you yelled before going out the back door. It was now sun set but the scenery was magnificent. Hardly anyone was out now and you would have to go to the clearing soon.

You began to make your way back to Grillbys before hearing a familiar chuckle that terrified you. "Thought I was gone brat?" You couldn't move, paralyzed from fear. "Well, I'm very much alive and, I'm not done with you." You hear foot steps come toward you. A leather belt came around your neck and you choked for air. You were terrified, adrenaline was rushing as your breath was being taken away.

Your phone rang. Your heart skipped a beat as you managed to answer the call. You couldn't speak but, whoever was in the other end figured out what was going on quickly as the phone hung up. You quickly sent the location to the number.

You're sight was starting to fade and you began to taste blood as it came drizzling out of your mouth. You heard yelling from Sans, Undyne, and Toriel. The belt was dropped as you were about to pass out. You heard footsteps run away.

You heard more footsteps but they were coming towards you.

"kid, you okay?!" Sans asked worridly.
"Punk, you gonna be alright?"
"My child?! Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah I'm fine everyone," you gasped out, holding your throat in pain.

"glad secret gave me her number. you must have picked up her phone in the forest by accident."
"Yeah, I'm fine. And I picked up her phone in the forest because it was just there, I planned on turning it in but I forgot I had it," you lied.

You stood up. "Thank you for saving me.

"No problem, punk, just don't get in to to much trouble"
"Alright, I'll try." You made your way back to the back door.

"i can't wait to tell secret this."
"Good luck, punk." Undyne punched Sans playfully before you went through the door.

Grillby was closing up when you came in. "I'm going closing up, (Y/n). The backdoor will stay unlocked but lock it once you go to bed. I'll get you the keys soon enough. And don't forget you start work tomorrow."

"Okay Grillby, night." He closed up and you went downstairs to change.

Your adrenaline was still rushing so you quickly changed, put on your mask, and ran to the clearing. Sans was there already.

"you're late," he joked.
"Sorry, I saw a girl and she gave me my phone back."
"yeah, you're phone saved her life earlier."
"She told me, now let's dance," you smirked with a determined look, mirroring Sans' own.
