They soon came to a new puzzle. Papyrus and Sans were on the other side of a area of thick snow. They were arguing, or, at least, Papyrus was arguing. Sans was just sitting there with his hands in his pocket.
"YOU LAZY BONES! YOU WERE NAPPING ALL NIGHT!"
"I think that's called...sleeping."
"EXCUSES EXCUSES!"
They caught sight of the kids and turned towards them.
"OH-HO! THE HUMANS HAVE ARRIVED! IN ORDER TO STOP YOU...MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES! I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE...QUITE SHOCKING! FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS THE INVISIBLE...ELECTRICITY MAZE! WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THE MAZE, THIS ORB-" Papyrus pulled a glass-like ball out from somewhere Harry couldn't see. He held it out. "-WILL ADMINISTER A HEART ZAP! SOUND LIKE FUN? BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF FUN YOU WILL ACTUALLY HAVE IS ACTUALLY RATHER SMALL. I THINK. OK, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW."
"But, mister Papyrus, you are holding the orb." Harry stared at the orb in the skeleton's hand, confused.
"OH, YES, MY BAD. THANK YOU TINY HUMAN."
"My name is Harry, could you perhaps call me that?"
"OF COURSE, TINY HUMAN!"
Harry took a step over the wall of the maze, electrocuting Papyrus. Sans glared at him while Frisk pulled him back away from the wall.
"OH YES, THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME HARRY, I HAVE TO GIVE YOU TWO THE ORB!" Papyrus solved the puzzle for them while he headed across the maze to give them the orb, even if he was to thick-skulled to realize.
"Just-"
"Follow the footsteps, yes, I know." Harry sighed as he followed Frisk over.
"IMPOSSIBLE! YOU SLIPPERY SNAIL. YOU SOLVED IT SO EASILY... TO EASILY. HOWEVER! THE NEXT PUZZLE WILL NOT BE SO EASY! IT IS DESIGNED BY MY BROTHER. YOU WILL SURELY BE CONFOUNDED. I KNOW I AM!" Papyrus hurried away, yelling all the way. "NHE HEH HEH HEH!"
Harry stared at his feet, ashamed at what he had done. He refused to meet Sans' eyes. He would be angry. Furious. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I feel so bad Sans."
"Nah, it's fine."
"Yeah, Harry, Papyrus always gets shocked like that." Harry looked up at Frisk, noticing how they looked away instead, staring down the path to the unknown.
"Wh-"
"You want to get some Nice Cream?"
"Uh...what's that?"
"It's like a monster version of Ice Cream."
"Only good boys get ice cream treats, I just electrocuted somebody."
"Harry seriously, you have no idea how often I've done that."
"You speak as if you've do it often." Harry stared up at them again, eyes squinted even more as he studied them.
They are hiding something from you. Ask them what it is.
"Never, mind, let's go. I've been good enough for ice cream, you say. That's good enough for me.
Fool! You never listen to me!
"I love you, sibling." Harry smiled as he took Frisk's hand, ignoring the aggravated howls from the voice in his head. The voice began cursing at him, asking why he was such an idiot.
Frisk knows too. You're a fool who trusts to willingly. Idiot. Fool. Weakling. You unintelligent-
"Frisk? Do you think I'm smart? Or at least average for my age?"
"I think you are extremely intelligent for an eight year old."
Lies.
They spoke the truth, and Harry could see it in their smile. He grinned back as they walked up to the Nice Cream stand. The blue bunny man beamed at the new customers.
"Two Nice Creams please!"
Sorry for such a short chapter. Thx to everybody who likes this! It's because of all you that I continue writing this...interesting story.
