I'm From Another Dimension

Something's not right

Just as it was about to do its next attack, the fire rose from the ground and surrounded her in an orb. Sans put her hand out and clamped it into a fist. The fire around them shrunk quickly and clung onto its body and soon burned out. Sans was glad that had worked, she was half certain it wouldn't. Sans had let out a sigh of relief when the fire cleared. It revealed its skin burning off like paper, revealing an exact replica of Sans on the inside. Sans jumped back in fear, and suddenly woke up in a cold sweat, clutching chest. She felt her face and found that the scratch wasn't there.

It was still early, so she attempted to go back to sleep again, but only succeeded in lying awake the rest of the night. Once everyone had woken up, it seemed everyone had forgotten about the black eye. Isa had told Bonnie what happened to Sans and allowed her to take a day off. Isa felt bad for taking advantage of her, but she truly did want to look after Sans. Sans hadn't eaten all morning and looked extremely pale. She jumped at the slightest noises and was always staring at the floor. Tamashi seemed to be extremely hurt by this.

"Erm, hey, hey Sans!" he began, Sans jumped at the sound of his voice "Wanna go to the halfling village and spend all our money in one go!" He said with a stupid grin on his face, desperate to get Sans back to normal, or at least find out why she was so shaken.

"Alone?" He added. After he realized what he said he began to blush. They all let out a little gasp when Sans looked up.

"O-ok." She replied with a slight stutter. Sans walked out the door but before Tamashi could go after her, Erza grabbed him.

"Careful with what you say, try and get out of her what ever it is that's making her like this." Said Erza looking worried.

"Has this happened before?" Asked Tamashi.

"Not to this extreme, no." Replied Isa, who was standing next to Erza.

"Why aren't you guys coming?" He asked.

"Well you said alone didn't you, also she only obliged when you said that." Erza replied and glanced down. Tamashi went out after Sans and felt like there was something they weren't telling him, but that's a story for another time. Sans teleported Tamashi and herself to the halfling village and stood at the entrance for a bit.

"So, what do you want to buy first." Sans looked up at him, deep bags under her eyes.

"It's your money, why would you share it." Asked Sans.

"Err, I just want to cheer you up, also it was kinda unfair when they didn't pay you.." He replied. Sans looked him up and down, and smiled, a sad smile, but a smile all the same.

"Ok." She replied. Tamashi felt his world get a little brighter. She slowly started like her normal, eccentric self throughout the rest of the day. They mostly bought decorations for their bare rooms, but Sans also got head phones and Tamashi got a couple of things at the Tree Tub. They went into a clothing store, when something caught Sans eye."Yo, look at this!" She yelled at Tamashi from across the aisle. He made his way over and saw what Sans got so excited over. Tamashis heart burst out of his chest and he became a blushing mess.

What Sans was pointing at was two couples shirts. One was a tank top that said 'Not Guilty' in white letters with a black background. The other shirt was a loose-fitting crop top that said in big, black letters 'SIN'.

"Th-those are cOUples shirts." Tamashi stuttered, his voice cracking.

"Your point is? We're already like best friends, it doesn't have to be a couples shirt." She replied.

"Yeah... I guess."

"We should totally get them." Said Sans, finding her size. Tamashi picked out his size. They payed and went out for lunch, Sans must've been starving by then. They decided to go to Mr.Kuns place besides their better judgement. Sans ordered two orders of popcorn chicken, a large order of fries to share, and two raspberry iced teas. Mr.Kun didn't give them a single nasty look. In fact, he seemed to treat them like any other customer, he even yelled 'order up' without a hint of sarcasm. They sat down and ate their food in peace, both content with how the day went. Tamashi suddenly remembered why they came out here in the first place.

"So, how'd you sleep last night?" He asked, dipping his fry into ketchup. Sans's hand froze midair and she dropped her chicken. A fearful look filled her eyes and she once again became pale and sweaty.

"Oh, fine." She replied trying to look casual, but she couldn't hide that look in her eyes.

"You didn't look so good this morning, any nightmares?" He asked, he knew he was pushing it to far.

"Yeah I guess, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Did Erza and Isa put you up to this?" Asked Sans, the fear in her eyes replaced with betrayal.

"No! It's, it's just, you looked so scared this morning, I wanted to make you smile again!" Said Tamashi quickly. They finished their food in silence.

"Let's go home" said Sans after finishing"

"O-ok!" Said Tamashi as Sans teleported them home.
