One last time

The day in Snowdin had started the same as usual the residents came out their homes often greeting their neighbors before leaving for the day, shopkeepers opening their businesses and monsters rushing off to work. Grillby was the local Bar owner, who had taken his niece to Hotlands to go home after a short visit with him in Snowdin. After a quick hello to his brother and Sister-in-law and saying goodbye to his niece he went back to Snowdin to open his bar. After doing all the necessary chores, I opened the door and the usual flood of customers came in. All except one. 

Sans, he was Grillby's most frequent customer, he would come in daily on his "Lunchbreaks" from his duty as a patrol officer and his other various jobs. All of the other patrons in the bar loved Sans, he often came in and drank Grillby's ketchup and often stayed late after all his shifts were over drinking himself into a stupor. More than once, Sans' younger brother Papyrus would eat to drag Sans out Grillby's bar. Grillby liked Papyrus, but he was a monster of a few words and Papyrus often being a monster who enjoyed conversation, they did not have many conversations.

 Grillby tended to the bar expecting to see Sans stroll in with his usual grin on his face. Time passes and Grillby had not seen Skull or tailbone of the skeleton monster, this was strange. It seemed that the other regulars noticed Sans' absence as well, but no one knew where it was. Eventually as the day goes on, monsters come in and out with still no sign of Sans. Grillby had known Sans for years, and he'd never seen Sans miss coming into the bar. Sans had been a customer  since he arrived in Snowdin. A nagging feeling began to plague him as he served other customers throughout the day. Grillby tried to shake off the feeling, Sans was a grown monster, he could take care of himself. Right? 

Eventually the last of the monsters filtered out, and Grillby closed the door locking it behind them. Grillby began to close up shop for the night, sweeping the floor and cleaning up. Grillby started thinking about Fuku and if she'd settled back home with her parents alright. When Grillby suddenly heard a knock at the bar door snapping him from his thoughts, he looked up, it was Papyrus. 

Grillby walks over to the door and opens it, I noticed that Papyrus did not look like his usual self. His eye lights were dimmer, he was slightly hunched and even his smile seemed strained. 

"HELLO GRILLBY" His voice was cracking and soft, it sounded like he'd been yelling all day. 

"Hello Papyrus, what brings you by?" Grillby already had a feeling about why he was here. Part of him had hoped that, Papyrus would have come to tell him where Sans had been. Grillby knew however that from the look on Papyrus's face, this was not the case. 

"I WANTED TO ASK IF YOU'VE SEEN SANS, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM ALL DAY" As I said this Papyrus looked like it was going to burst into tears. Grillby shook his head, although he desperately wished he could say he had. Papyrus seemed to deflate in front of Grillby's eyes.

"OH, WELL THEN ... I'M SURE HE 'LL TURN UP SOON, GOODNIGHT GRILLBY" Grillby nodded and watched as Papyrus left dejectedly heading towards his and Sans' house. Grillby closed the door in a slight panic, He hoped Sans was okay. Papyrus must have looked all over the underground for him, judging by how tired he looked. As Grillby continued to clean up, more monsters showed up asking if I knew anything about Sans whereabouts. Everyone from customers, to even the captain of the guards herself, Undyne. Grillby could see from his windows lanterns in the dark and could hear Sans name being called over and over. 

Grillby finally finished with cleaning the bar and threw on his jacket, ready to close the bar  and join the search.when suddenly there was a loud bang with glasses falling from the shelves behind him. Grillby turned around in alarm, there on the floor surrounded by broken glass, was Sans. Sans was hunched over in a small ball covered in snow, his clothes soaked and his beloved jacket torn and burned. He looked awful, Grillby immediately ran over to him. Sans had burns on his skull and arm bones, scratches all over his legs as well.
