The sounds of his boots echoed through the empty passageway. The bright red, contrasting against the marble surroundings. Click-clacking his boots went as he entered the castle hallway.

"SANS?" Picking up his pace, the tall skeleton stood over the smaller skeleton who lied on the ground. "BROTHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"i don't know." The blue hooded skeleton mumbled.

"WELL WHATEVER IT IS, STOP IT. THERE IS NO TIME FOR YOU TO BE LAYING AROUND! WE MUST FIND JASPER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF DANGER HE MIGHT BE IN!"

"seems to be doing just fine..."

The tall skeleton stomped his foot in frustration. "SANS! THAT'S NOT THE POINT! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE TINY HUMAN IS TO US!?"

"yeah... he's my son." He mumbled once more.

"WHAT? SANS SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOUR MUMBLING."

"correction, he's our son."

"OH! SO YOU FOUND OUT AS WELL. THAT'S GOOD!" Papyrus bent down and scooped his brother under his arm. "WELL NOW THAT YOU ARE ALL CAUGHT UP. THIS MAKES IT ALL THAT MUCH EASIER. TOGETHER WE WILL FETCH OUR MYSTERY CHILD OF UNKNOWN ORGIN AND THEN FIGURE OUT THE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO PROCEED FORWORD IN THIS STRANGE SITUATION WE FOUND OURSELVES IN!" Papyrus walked through the rooms, steadily making his way towards the throne room.

"ok."

"BROTHER! I'M BEING SERIOUS HERE! WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE HE'S SAFE!"

"ok."

"BROTHER, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? DON'T YOU WANT TO FIND HIM?"

"what's the point!? it's not like he'll listen to us! don't you get it? he hates us... he doesn't even know us and already he can't even stand to be in the same room as me."

"SANS... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

"you should have seen him paps. he... he was so desperate to get away from me. nothing i did worked."

"SANS...MAYBE HE DOESN'T KN-"

"he didn't even flinch when i told him! it's like he knew or at the very least figured it out before we did. he doesn't care, so why should-"

"THAT'S ENOUGH BROTHER! WHETHER YOU'RE RIGHT OR WRONG, WE SHOULD FIND HIM! IT IS OUR DUTY AS NEWCOMERS IN THE LIFE OF PARENTHOOD!!" Sans looked up at his brother, amazed that he would never waver away from what he set his mind to.

"heh, when you're right, you're right."

"I'M ALWAYS RIGHT! NYE-HEH-HEH!!"

      When the brothers reached the throne room, they spotted someone dashing in from the other side of the room. Noticing that it was the king, Papyrus placed his brother down and ran to him. The king looked panicked and afraid. With one hand on the skeleton's shoulder, he pointed towards the exit that led to the barrier. Quickly he told the brothers of the tiny human and how he was in danger.

Before the king could ask for their help, both skeletons had already rushed past him. Soon they reached the barrier, and the room was dimmed with the presence of an incoming battle.

"JASPER!!" "jasper!?"

"Sans? Papyrus?" They saw the tiny human turn around before darkness covered them. Frantic, both skeletons searched around in the dark. They called and called for the little boy. But as the time past by, they knew the child was gone.
