Your POV

"Ummmm... who are you exactly?" I asked.

"I am Papyrus! Caretaker of the ruins! I come by every day to see if a child like yourself has fallen." The skeleton- erm.. Papyrus explained.

"Oh I see. Have you been assigned to do this job?" I ask suspiciously. He might check to see if there are any fallen children to KILL.

"Worry not child. I have no intention of harming you. I want to be your best friend!" He exclaims. I narrow my eyes being skeptical. Well... I suppose I'll have to risk it. And if things go south then...we'll see what happens from there.

"Alright. I'll take your word for it." I say.

"Great! Now... come with me!" He says. He takes my hand and starts walking. I walk with him.

-later-

We had arrived at a small house. "This is where I live." Papyrus says. He went in and I followed. Finally, after all those spikes and that one Froggit. That's what is call right? Yes I'm sure of it. Papyrus was really cool too! Though I'm sure he could've done better with hiding himself of course.

"Stay here child. I have some errands to do! Oh and have this!" He says. Papyrus gives me a cellphone. I took it and observe it. It looked like an average phone. Nothing special.  Papyrus then walked away somewhere. I noticed a bookshelf. I went towards it to see a variety of books. Ah yes! I've always loved books. Yes, you could call me a bookworm or some sort. My friends so either way. Well I suppose I could get some reading done. I grab a book and sit on the chair. The book was titled: "A Dragon's Rebuke." I sat down and opened a page.

I was only halfway through the book when I looked up to see the skeleton was on there yet. I closed my book. I put it back in the bookshelf.

"I'm getting a bit bored." I think I'll explore. And with that I walked off.

I had passed through meeting  some monsters. They were all really nice! Especially the Froggits! They will definitely be my favorites! I then got a call from Papyrus.

"Hello human! How are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine." I reply.

"Good!" He then put down the phone. I then discovered a flight of stairs.

"Hmmmmm..." I wondered. My curiosity got the best of me and I walked down. I walked down a few steps. When I was all the way down I felt a hand grab me and pulled me. Soon enough I was upstairs again.

"Human, you are not allowed to go down there." He says.

"Sure..." I reply.

"Would you like me to show you to your room?" He asked. I nod. He leads me upstairs and I follow. He showed me a small room. "How about you go inside? I will call you when dinner's ready." He says.

"Cool!" I say. He goes downstairs. I walk in and examine the room. Toys, a bed, and books. Yahoo!- I mean... great! I lay on my bed. After a while I start thinking. Could I... stay here forever? But even if I wanted to... it would be boring. I always did have a sense of adventure after all! But... would it be safe? Would I harm them? Hmmmmm... stop asking questions! The only way to find out is to do it! I stood up at the same time Papyrus called dinner. I dashed downstairs. He handed me what looked like pasta. I took it. I guess I'll tell him later then...

"Thanks Pap!" I say.

"You're welcome Sans- I mean... Y/N." He says

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing!" He assures me.

"O-ok." I say.

-later-

I was reading with Papyrus. It's really fun! We took turns reading and he has an amazing reading voice! So enthusiastic! But... now is the time.

"Papyrus." I say.

"Yes Y/N?" He asks.

"I need to go." I tell him.

"Go where?" He asked.

"Out there. Out of the ruins." He said.

"Child...I do not think that is very wise." He warns.

"Well...I don't think being outside is a bad thing-"

"You will get killed. I KNOW that the flower spoke to you about that." He says.

"I'm aware. And I'm going anyways." I say.

".... I have to do some real quick." He says and goes to the flight of stairs and walks down. I follow him. I keep following him until he stops at a big door.

"Child... I know you're there." He says.

"....just let me through... I promise I'll come visit-"

"No. If you go out there then you will just die like the others!" He says. I fell silent.

"I won't... I'm different." I tell him.

"How? How are you any different!?" He asked. I was silent again.

"Look I know what I'm doing!" I try to reason with him.

"I highly doubt that. You have been here for less than  a day and I've been in the underground my whole life. So compare your knowledge of the underground to mine." He tells me.

"Papy! Please!" I pleaded.

"If that's what you really desire... prove to me that you are strong!" He says. Suddenly bones appeared around him and were launched at me. I side stepped out of the way.

"Woah!" I yelp.

"Hmph." He says and throws more.  I quickly get of the way. He once again launched another projectile at me but a purple aura blade launched out of my stomach and broke it! I looked at it with my eyes wide and mouth open. Papyrus as well. "I can't believe my eyes! Is what I would say if I had any!" He told a pun. I laughed but stopped. He did the same. "Right... wrong time to tell a pun." I say.

"Yeah..." I agree. The blade went back into my stomach. 

"It's obvious you are strong enough. But please... choose mercy." He tells me. I smile and give him a thumbs up. He smiled back and hugged me. "Farewell child- erm... Y/N." He tells me.

"Goodbye Pap." I say. I walk past him and out the door. The door closes behind me making a loud sound.

I've been walking for a bit until I heard a loud tree branch snap. I turn my head to see nothing.

"Huh." I say. I simply shrugged and kept on walking. I heard footsteps behind me. I kept walking. Shit... who's following me? I stop in my tracks.

"Hey pal... don't you know how to greet a new friend?" They asked. It was clear somebody was behind me.

"My apologies." I apologize.

"Turn around and shake my hand..." They say. I turn around and shake their hand just as they asked only to hear a fart noise. I looked down to see a whoopee cushion in their hand. Scratch that. The figure turns out to be a girl. A beautiful one at that. Brown short hair. (Or long, which ever you prefer) Unique red eyes I could get lost in.

"Heya pal!"
