Fun Level 66: Missing Frisk
Sans watched as Papyrus came toward him. “Still boned? No help, huh?” He twirled his tool in his bony fingers as he tightened one last screw. “Well, this thing’s finished. Last commission since we lost Gaster. Thought you might have been gone too. Ever since you got that dimension thing working again, won’t take two seconds to stay where you should anymore.”
“No, Sans, I’m right here,” Papyrus said as he approached. “But, it’s time to go.”
“Go where and why?”
“It’s time to go, and we’ve been over why.”
“Oh. That whole saving dimension thing.” Sans looked back at the machine he just worked on. “I don’t know about that.”
“It’s perfectly safe. I’ve done it myself,” Papyrus said.
“What?” He remembered different timelines? “Are you . . . you?”
“Yes, I’m completely fine, and I told you last time that I saw you what was happening. Don’t act like this is new. Be brave, and accept your destiny!”
“You can remember that with two different timelines?”
“Yes, Sans. It’s not selective memory. Now, it’s time to go.”
“ . . . Pap.”
“When you go, you’ll have her,” Papyrus said. “Frisk? Your Frisk. You will have many wonderful memories together, and you’re a father now too. Isn’t that wonderful?”
Sans bobbed his mouth slightly open and shut. “No? I mean, yeah? I don’t know? I don’t remember. I don’t think it’s a good idea to join with another self.”
“I’ve done fine. Your other self has done fine,” Papyrus said. “Come, Sans. I don’t like to leave you in separate places. This feels ridiculous.” He held out his bony hand toward him. “Brother! You could not ask for a better ending. You just have to reach out and accept it.”
“Little monsters, huh?”
“Yes. Wonderful little monsters!”
Little monsters. What an honor. A crazy high honor, just for him? With a girl that Papyrus insisted he used to go gaga for so much it put him into a state of depression until the initial fade in memory happened. Married. Family. “Sounds great, Papyrus. Sounds dangerous though.”
“I assure you, your former self has been through the process twice,” Papyrus said. “More monsters are going to be going through it too. Undyne went through it. Even a dragon had the courage to do it. It’s fine.”
“ . . . kay, but you’re kinda forgetting something.” Sans gestured toward his skull. “I can’t keep all the memories. There were so many, you said I thought I just restarted over and over and over.”
“Yes.”
“But, they are in my noggin,” Sans said pointing to his skull. “Way down deep, I just don’t remember now. Are you sure I only went gaga for a cute girl? There wasn’t anything else in there that was making me suffer?”
“There was more, like watching your little monsters die.” Papyrus sighed. “Not everything is wonderful memories, true. But, with the bad comes the good. And my brother needs to be complete. I can’t just have part of you all the way over here. Come. Join us.”
“I, he, we, they, those are just words that get in the way of the blob that is Sans,” Sans joked. “So I just run at myself?”
“It’s what we’ve been doing.”
