Universe Tale

"A guessing game?" Papyrus asked, confused as to what Gaster was doing.

"Yeah, since none of us but you and Sans can understand him, we got him cards so he can explain. Steven's best at it." Amethyst explained, Gaster also held up a picture of Frisk with a knife. Gaster held up the female goat picture and Frisk next to each other.

"What does the queen have to do with this?" Papyrus asked, everyone but Garnet shushed him. Gaster grabbed the red crayon and put red X's on her eyes. Then he grabbed the blue fish lady and did the same, then the dino lady, then the robot man and picked out Sans card. He drew a heart on him but left the male goat alone.

"Sans is so broken because all his friends died after you did." Steven said to Papyrus and turned to face him, only to see he was rocking back and forth while crying.

"Uh, you okay dude?" Amethyst asked, he looked up at her with teary eyes.

"All my friends are dead, Sans thinks i'm dead. They've been suffering while i'm in paradise. DOES IT OK LIKE I'M OKAY!" He yelled and went back to crying, Gaster rubbed his chin and then got an idea. He snapped his fingers and teleported away.

"He's taking it a lot worse than Sans." Peridot asked, Lapis crouched down next to him.

"What would make you feel better?" Lapis asked.

"A HUG FROM MY BROTHER!" He started crying more and she backed away.

"Oh, dear." Pearl said as she thought for a moment, then Gaster came back with a back pack and a grocery bag.

"What's that?" Steven asked, Gaster pulled out a small blue box and handed it to Steven. "Spaghetti noddles? Why Spaghetti noodles?" Papyrus stopped crying immediately and looked at Steven. "Oh, that's why." Steven said, a bit confused still.

"Human! May I have that?" Papyrus asked once he stood up.

"Sure, but you can call me Steven." Steven said as he handed the box to Papyrus.

"Of course! Maybe I know how I can get off this island" Papyrus said, the gems were confused. "The watermelons don't want me to leave ever since I given them the knowledge of the traps! But maybe I can make a final gift!" Papyrus said as he held up the box. He called all the watermelon Stevens around so he could teach them how to make it, he finally finished it and taught them about how to reset and make traps if they were broken. "Now that you have no need for me, may I go with my friends? Please?" He asked them all, they all whispered to each other. They faced him.

"Sans!" They yelled and gave him a thumbs up, they all each gave him a hug good bye. It was around afternoon and Gaster looked a bit tired.

"Are you okay?" Steven asked him, he just gave a thumbs up as everyone started walking back to him.

"I hate to ask but since the warp pad here was, um, broken." Pearl said, Lapis looked at the ground in shame. "We were hoping you could possibly teleport us back Gaster? Unless you can, Papyrus?" Pearl asked him, he shook his head.

"Sadly it t'was Sans who was born with the teleporting ability." Papyrus said sadly, but then bright'en his smile. Gaster sighed and snapped his fingers and they teleported infront of Steven's house. "My, my! What a lovely home!" Papyrus said, then Gaster face planted in the sand.

"GASTER!" Peridot yelled, she helped him up and he spoke again as sweat went down his face.

"He said it's tiring teleporting more than once a day." Papyrus said, Peridot sighed.

"We'll take him back to the barn." Lapis said and used the water to make a hand to hold Gaster who seemed surprised. He spoke again as he tried to make his way out of the giant water hand.

"NO! You will allow the nice gem ladies to take you to some place to rest!" Papyrus said, Gaster mumbled something under his breath. "Now I know where Sans learned that foul language!" Pearl covered Steven's ears, Gaster mumbled something under his breath again and laid down in the water in a pout. Peridot and Lapis waved goodbye to them all as they made there way to the warp pad inside the house.

"So before we go inside the tower, you might be surprised."  Pearl said as they walked up the cliff.

"I might not be, before the whole um fake death thing, Sans would act lazy, tell terriable puns to annoy me and would sleep all the time. He did however raise me when I was a baby." Papyrus said, all the gems and Steven turned to him.

"What do you mean? You had to have a dad like Steven." Amethyst asked him.

"Well, I never knew our father. Sans said he fell into the core of one of the machines he built, and our mother. Sans doesn't remember her so it was up to Sans to raise me, get a job when he was old enough and protect me. I don't have the greatest memories of his powers, there always blurry." Papyrus said, Steven started thinking.

"Before we left, Sans said he would be avoiding his dad. This might just be a thought but, maybe Gaster's your dad." Steven said Papyrus thought about it.

"The machine our father was working on was suppose to be a portal, i think. So maybe when he fell into the core, he went to another dimension." Papyrus said, then he stepped on something. "Eww." He said and picked it off his shoe. He held it to his eye and threw it in the air. "SANS! YOU BETTER NOT BE DRUNK!" Papyrus yelled.

"How would he be drunk?" Garnet asked him, Papyrus sighed.

"Ketchup, mustered and I think barbecue sauce can make skeletons drunk." Papyrus explained.

"Um, Steven. How exactly did you leave the light house?" Amethyst asked as she stared ahead.

"Oh my clods." Pearl said, everyone turned to look at the lighthouse.

"How exactly does Sans act when he has to much ketchup?" Steven asked Papyrus.

"Usually he sleeps it off, why do you ask-" He interrupted himself as he saw the light house had bones coming out of it, holes on all sides and an empty box of ketchup packets. "This is going to be a long day." Papyrus said as he started walking towards the lighthouse.
