"I CAN'T SLEEP!"

Dayne panicked, marching in circles. Eras sat on the couch, the twins on the floor next to her. "Our parents will be home soon! If Berlin, Purrla and Uncle Gaster don't return then I don't what we'll do!" Dayne yelled, pacing in front of them. "Just calm down! Let's think.... We can't fall asleep, if we do then Uncle Gaster, Berlin and Purrla could get in trouble. We can't stay awake cause we'll get in trouble..." Eras said, she thought for a moment. "I can't solve this..." She muttered, Fame sighed. They heard keys jiggling, everybody panicked. "What do we do?" Eras asked, Fame shrugged. The door was opening, Dayne and Eras ran to their bedrooms. Fame and Fortune raced to find someplace to hide, which happened to be behind the sofa. Sans, Papyrus, Red and Toriel walked in. Undyne and Asgore followed them, they say on the couch. "Where's Gaster?" Tori asked, Sans shrugged. "Probably taking a shower or sleeping in one of the kids rooms". Fame and Fortune ducked behind the sofa, glancing at each other worriedly.

Berlin and Purrla looked around nervously, the AU was actually more scarier than they thought. "So... Where would they be?" Purrla asked quietly, Berlin shrugged. "Should we head back?" Purrla shrugged, Berlin once again shrugged. "Great answer" She growled, Berlin chuckled slightly. "I dunno how to head back.... Hopefully nobody here likes to bother people" Berlin said, he grabbed Purrla's hand. "Just stick together, I don't know anything about this place" Berlin said, Purrla nodded slowly. "Berlin...." She asked, five minutes later. "Yes?" Berlin asked, they seemed to be heading towards the Ruins house. "Why are the monsters glaring at us here?" Purrla asked, she sounded scared. "Just keep walking" Berlin hesitated, not wanting to look at the Monsters. "Who's that?" Purrla asked, as they saw a cloaked figure before them. They were facing the tree, Berlin stopped. "Shhhh" he said, pulling Purrla to the side. They peeked to see that it was a skeleton, all they could get from his face was that he had a gold tooth when he smiled. "That looks like Dad and King Sans but...." Berlin whispered, he gulped. "A little dangerous? Should we approach him?" Purrla asked, Berlin shrugged again. "I'mma smack you if you shrug again" Purrla whispered, Berlin went silent.

They followed the skeleton to his house, both afraid to approach him. They hid behind a tree that stood in front of the house, the skeleton walked inside. "Berlin.... What do we do? I'm pretty sure we have to get through his house to leave" Purrla asked, as the door closed. "Pray" Berlin responded, getting a glare back. "I don't know! How n I suppose to know?" Berlin asked, Purrla hushed him. "Listen... We're scared, tired, alone, cranky, and hungry.... We both want to go home, and it's already 11:20pm... Our parents are home now, and..." Both kids froze, they looked up. "Our parents are home now!" They yelled, the door flew open.

Sans and Toriel were already in the bedroom sleeping, Papyrus sat on the couch while Red was in her bedroom sleeping. Asgore sat next to Papyrus, Undyne was fast asleep on the recliner. "HEY! NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT.... WHERE IS GASTER?" Asgore asked, noticing he hasn't seen the tiny prince in hours. Papyrus froze, he was flipping through the channels. "That's.... A good question actually" He said, he got up. "Maybe in one of the kids bedroom's" Papyrus said, Asgore nodded and stood up. Eras was already fast asleep, Dayne was on the floor as he was to tired to reach the bed. The twins panicked as they realized what would happen, Fame looked at Fortune. "What do we do?" Fame asked, Fortune slapped him. "Calm down! We need to distract them!" Fortune responded, Fame nodded. "Yes! Perfect! How are we gonna do that exactly?" Fame asked, Fortune thought for a minute. "Just do what twins do best!" She responded, Fame tilted his head in confusion. "Destroy" Fortune snickered, Fame smiled. Fortune knocked over a table, which had a lamp on it. The lamp fell to the floor, breaking to tiny pieces. "Fortune! I regret it already!" Fame panicked, Papyrus and Asgore turned around instantly. "How the?" Papyrus asked, Asgore picked up the broken pieces and threw them away. "HOW DID IT BREAK?" Asgore asked, Papyrus shrugged. Fame sighed, he looked to see a baseball on the ground next to him. He aimed at a portrait, then threw the ball at full speed. The picture frame shattered, Papyrus hurriedly caught the pieces, Asgore looked around. "HEY! BEHIND THERE!" Asgore said, as he heard chuckling behind the couch.

Papyrus threw out the pieces and marched towards the couch, seeing Fortune and Fame giggling. They stopped as they saw him, Papyrus glared at them. Fame looked at Fortune in horror, Fortune smiled. "CATCH US IF YA CAN!" Fortune smiled, she grabbed Fame's arm and dragged him upstairs. They pushed stuff over in the process, Papyrus panicked and Chase after them as Asgore tried gathering all the broken pieces. "STOP!" Papyrus shouted, he corned the twins. "Why would you do that? Don't you know how expensive this stuff is??" Papyrus asked, the twins stared at each other. "Kids will be kids, right?" Fame laughed, Papyrus glared at them. "YA CAN'T TELL US WHAT TO DO!" Fortune shouted, she laughed loudly. Suddenly a door slammed open, Papyrus turned slowly to see Toriel. She looked pissed.... Marching over, Papyrus got out of her way. "What. Is. Going. On. Here?" She asked, her voice was cold. "Uh...." Papyrus had no words, he was scared to respond. The twins stayed silent, secretly hoping they'd see tomorrow. "SO!?" She raised her voice, Fortune cowardly crouched down. "Uh... I'm sorry I shouted!" Fortune panicked, Toriel glared at Papyrus next. "What the hell is with all this noise? Don't ya know what time it is!?" Toriel yelled, Papyrus nodded. "It's uh.... 12AM...." Papyrus cowardly responded, Toriel growled. "Correct! Now if I hear one more noise from anybody in this house tonight, you will not live to see tomorrow" Toriel threatened, everybody nodded. "Damn people awake at midnight, sleepovers and friends! I'm so glad Berlin is quiet and sleeping, cause he won't want to look at me if he wakes me up" Toriel muttered to herself, slamming her bedroom door. "Heh... I just found a new fear, how exciting" Papyrus chuckled nervously.

Berlin and Purrla hung on to each other, terrified for their lives. The footsteps grew closer, and it scared them. Purrla hugged Berlin, who kept an eye on the tall figure. Then silence... Berlin smiled, when suddenly a hand grabbed his hoodie and lifted him up. Berlin was now face to face with the tall figure, who gave a rather creepy glare at him. "Who might you be?" The tall skeleton asked, Berlin hesitated. "B-Berlin Skeleton" Berlin replied, The skeleton snickered. "The names Sans, Sans Skeleton" AF Sans set Berlin down. "What are you doing here in the RUINS all by yourself? Kids like you should be with their parents" AF Sans said, Berlin looked at Purrla. "Uh... We're lost" Berlin said, AF Sans laughed his head off. "Lost? You must be hungry then.... Why don't ya come in? I'll bake ya some hot pockets" AF Sans gave a smile, Berlin and Purrla exchanged looks. AF Sans grabbed Berlin's hand and led him inside, Purrla stood by the tree so confused. Apparantly he didn't see her, which was good.

Berlin sat at the table, looking out the window at Purrla who was behind the tree. "So? Try this" AF Sans set a plate down in front of Berlin, who looked at it in disgust. The Hot Pocket was oozing out some red liquid, and it wasn't ketchup. Berlin looked up at AF Sans, he chuckled nervously. "Uh... I uh... I already ate" Berlin lied, AF Sans chuckled. "Kid trying new things is a part of that, it's either you eat or you die" AF Sans said, Berlin gulped. He picked up the Hit Pocket, instantly regretting every choice he made in life so far. He took a bite, and instantly regretted it. He felt sick, but he just smiled at AF Sans and gave him a thumbs up. "See? Trying new things can be fun" AF Sans smiled, Berlin nodded. AF Sans walked away, Berlin raced outside and spit out the food. "What did you eat?" Purrla asked, running to him. "I owe Frisk an apology" Berlin said, holding his stomach. "You have to hide, he doesn't know your here. Try sneaking by him, going to the basement and leaving this place!" Berlin said, Purrla nodded. "I'll meet you! I'll text you where I am, okay? Be safe!" Purrla said, grabbing Berlin's hands. Berlin smiled, and nodded. "I'll be safe, and you too! He's in the kitchen so, Sneak now while ya can" Berlin said, Purrla nodded. She snuck through the living room and down the basement stairs, Berlin quickly returned to his seat as AF Sans returned.

"Why did you kids wreck the house!? This isn't even your house!" Papyrus asked, he put his hand on his hips. Fortune and Fame looked up at him, both unsure what to do or say. "Well???" Papyrus asked, Fame coughed. "Uh...." He started, but again had no clue what to say. "We had a good reason!" Fortune said, Papyrus looked at her. "I just... Can't tell you" Fortune looked down, Papyrus sighed. "Tell me what's going on, now" Papyrus growled, Fortune and Fame sighed.


"We lost Berlin, Purrla and Gaster...."
