When I woke up the following morning, I hadn't wasted any time. I slipped on my jacket that was really just an aesthetic because I'm a skeleton, skeletons don't get cold, that's not a thing, and slipped a pack of cigarettes into my pocket. She ran pretty far, it was likely that she'd be somewhere in waterfall.
So that's where I was headed. I'd left a note for Paps in the kitchen entailing that I'd be home late. I was surprised he hadn't disobeyed and gone out on his own while I was gone. He was afraid of how I would respond, and given my anger problems -courtesy of gaster- I couldn't blame him.
I plucked a cigarette from my pocket and placed it between my teeth. When I snapped my fingers, my magic supplied a small flame to my fingertips, lighting the cigarette. As I took in a breath a memory of Frisk had offered its presence to me. I didn't want to think of her, especially if my conclusions were wrong, but they couldn't be. This chick had to be at least related to frisk.
There was no way that she was telling the complete truth. She couldn't not know Frisk, Frisk freed the monsters for god's sake! It had to be all over the new! Did this one live under a rock?!?. . . Maybe Frisk had a daughter? Was this Frisk's daughter? God she'd kill me if she found out I kept her daughter in a shed....
Unless...... Unless Frisk was dead.
I shook the thought away, not wanting to destroy my badass demeanor with tears. I blew out smoke, pulling my hood over my head. Perhaps the walk would last longer than I had anticipated. So with time to spare, and a craving for a pick-me-up, I accepted the memory.

"Sup kid"
"Hi Sans!!!" She shouted excitedly, Jumping up and sitting on my sentry's counter. I didn't mind.
"What've you been up to? You look like you've seen a skeleton, you okay?" I inquired. For the first year I'd known her, she was very shy... Jumpy too, like at any second somebody would break her.
She giggled and rolled her eyes, putting on a fake smile. It was such an obvious one.... I was the king of faking... she couldn't fool me.
But still, I hadn't said anything.
"Oh I have Sans, he was bonefying" She replied. Oh my heart. She was so precious.
"Heheh, I bet. He's a real 'stiff' character"
And then we both giggled. She let out a breath and stared down at the snow with a look of nostalgia. Had she missed the snow up there? Maybe..... I took her hand in mine, gaining her attention. I gave an honest, caring stare
"Are you sure you're alright? You never hide anything from me.... You can tell me ya know..."
But she shied away as usual.....
Try again tomorrow I guess...

It sent shivers down my spine. She Was very open. Except when I asked her how she was. She would always shy away. To that day I still didn't know what was wrong. I would find out though. This girl would tell me.
When I'd arrived in waterfall, I bent down, and brushed the petals of an echo flower. It was a truly beautiful plant. It's icy blue glow, entrancing anyone who dares to lay eyes on it. It's power to repeat was even more attractive.... And helpful.
The last thing it had heard was sniffling and a slight chuckle.
"I'm doing this for them" it said. It was her voice.
She was definitely around here somewhere. Where exactly beyond me. How did she even know how to navigate through the underground???? Another reason I thought I was right. Standing back up, I continued walking.
If she was truly the newcomer she claimed to be, she was probably heading back to the surface. And if she wasn't headed there, she was definitely still in waterfall. It was like a fly catcher for humans because of it's beauty.
I would get her back.. If it killed me.
