FIVE NIGHTS AT UNDERFELL

Chapter 6

After passing the hall, they soon found Sans near the telescope. "Hey kids, doing okay?" Sans asked. "Yeah...I think..." Michael replied, as he looked at Daniel. Looking so distress, sickened, and depressed, almost like he ate something disgusting. He wonders what was going on with him, he can see that Sans notices it too. "Dan? Are you alright?" Sans asked, placing his hand on Daniel's shoulder, which somehow triggered Daniel. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Daniel cried, smacking Sans' hand. Which shock everyone around him, Daniel never act like that before, it was not him at all, almost like a different person. "K-Kid?" Sans asked, worried. Daniel knew what he had done, he whispery apologise, but Sans isn't just letting Daniel suffered in silence. "Kid, don't apologise, talk to me. I'll listen to you." Sans replied, gets into his knees to Daniel's heights. Michael take Elizabeth away from the situation, watching it. Daniel tears drop from his eyes, getting a nightmare like that traumatised him. He started to cry, getting emotional of the violent touch by a monster. Sans pulled Daniel into an affective hug, Sans start patting his back, comforting him. "It's okay, Dan. You're safe with me, but tell me, what happen?" Sans asked, hearing Daniel started to explain. Michael couldn't hear what Daniel was telling Sans since he was whispering it in Sans' ear, by the look of Sans, he was shaken and emotional, he hugged Daniel again, Daniel was crying, tightening Sans. Michael recognize this scene, a memory of him comforting Daniel by falling over in a bike ride. But, no, this seems serious than that, now, Daniel pointed the hallway, what Sans looked at, he pat Daniel's shoulder. Michael get a bit closer to their situation, to hear more. "I know what its like...I've been there before, kid. I'm so sorry you had that horrible nightmare, Daniel." Sans replied, patting Daniel's back. "Wanna hear jokes?" Sans asked, when Daniel has calmed down, he nodded. "When will the little snake arrive?" Fell asked, Daniel shrug his shoulders. "I don't know, but he won't be long." Sans joked, which did crack Daniel to laugh. "Why should you not let a bear operate the remote?" Sans asked, Daniel stays silent, listening to the answer. "He will keep pressing the paws button." Sans joked; Daniel giggled more. "Why did the man get fired from his job at the coin factory?" Sans asked, Daniel shrug his shoulders as he begins to smile. "He stopped making cents." Sans joked, made Daniel to laugh. "Feelin' better?" Sans asked, rub Daniel's cheeks. "Y'know what you remind me, a cute marshmallow." Sans replied, pressed Daniel's cheeks together, making him giggled. "Why, I'm no marshmallow! You are!" Daniel replied, in a squeezing situation. "Hey, I got this game to play, say "I love milk and butter"" Sans replied, spaced Daniel's mouth out, make things harder for him to say it. "I-g-lovve—mike-ad-buter" Daniel managed to say it. "Try saying "Farmer cows are the best!"" Daniel replied, squish Sans' mouth. "F-Furmrs-cous-ar-fe-bist!" Sans barely said it, but manage, made Daniel to laugh. Michael sees them having fun, a comfortable circle spot for Daniel, Sans knew well how to make Daniel to feel better. "Wow...I'm...speechless..." Flowey responded, finding how much ease there is in Sans. "Are you feeling a lot better?" Sans asked, smiling. Daniel nodded with a smile, feeling brighten. "Great, so, kids, have ya been to any danger?" Sans asked, looked at Michael and Elizabeth. "We've run into Undyne, but we escape from her" Michael explains. "Oh jeez, okay, be lot harder than I thought. But be more careful around here." Sans replied, rub Daniel's head. Michael looked at Daniel, believing it is too dangerous for Daniel to walk around in that state of sickness. "Sans, would you mind if we stay with you for a night?" Michael asked, scratching his back neck. Sans looked at him, surprised. "You want to stay with me?" Sans asked, standing up. "I mean...When we got to Hotland, then we'll stay with you for a night, for Daniel's sake." Michael explained the plan. Daniel was surprised to hear his older brother...Been thoughtful for once, it felt like forever since he last saw Michael's generally kindness. "Sure kids, you'll stay with me for a night. Just be careful around here, 'kay kids?" Sans asked, giving them a wink. "We will" Michael replied. "And take care of your brother, he deserve better" Sans replied, patted Michael's shoulder. Michael nodded, rubbed Daniel's back. Elizabeth checks out the telescope behind Sans, looking through it, only find reddish sky, everywhere, she stop looking through, hearing them giggles by looking at Elizabeth. "What's so funny?" Elizabeth, blinking, not knowing a violet circle mark on Elizabeth's right eye. Sans wipe it off, rub Elizabeth's hair. Michael and Daniel went through a hall, leading to another Ice Scream salesman. "Hey man" Michael replied, which attend the salesman. "Oh, same costumers. I relocated here if you haven't seen me, but for a solution to get attention! Punch cards! Every time you bought an ice cream, you get a punch card! Three punch cards for a free ice cream. 25Gs for an Ice Scream." Salesman explains, Michael was about to get one ice cream, then Daniel tuck his shoulders. "Can I borrow your translate paper?" Daniel asked, hugged his teddy bear. "Sure, since I don't need it anymore, you can have it" Michael replied, giving the paper to Daniel. Daniel went up to the sign, use the translate paper, to read the language. Michael bought one ice cream, and a punch card, he now has 79Gs. He doesn't think he'll ever use a punch card. Daniel checks the chest, finding two bugs playing cards. Elizabeth checks out a little monster, seems curious. "What's a star? Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it?...Are you a star?" The little monster asked, looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth flashes a bit, imagining cute boys saying that to her. Michael and Daniel comes back, waving bye to Sans as he teleported. They walk east, finding no bridge to across a river, finding a cute yellow duck at the other side. The only path forward is south, they went down, finding the place blue and black, but glowing blue. It was a beautiful sight in their eyes, they walk through the tiny bits of blues in the ground, Daniel walks up to an Echo Flower, hearing a pass by conversation. "So? Don't you have any wishes to make?" Daniel heads to the next one. "...hmmm, just one, but...It's kind of stupid." It whispered. They found another path, to the west side, leads them to a single bush. Elizabeth checks the bush, found a pair of ballet shoes, she is officially a ballerina! Flowey roll his eyes but knows that the ballet shoes are weapons. They continue going down to south, heading to the east, then a phone ring. Michael picked it up, knowing it is Papyrus. "HELLO! THIS IS PAPYRUS! REMEMBER I ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES?" Papyrus asked. "Yes, and we were chased by Undyne! What did you tell her!?" Michael complained. "I TOLD HER THAT YOU'RE NOT WEARING ANY DRESSES, ONLY IN CLOTHING. SO, I MAY HAVE LIED TO HER, BUT TO KEEP YOU SAFE SINCE SANS TOLD ME ONE OF YOU JUST HAVE A NIGHTMARE, BE BRAVE, YOUNG ONE! BYE FOR NOW!" Papyrus hung up the phone. Michael sighs, as he looked at Daniel, looks a bit sad. As they were about to continue, Woshua shuffles up! Michael's blue soul appears. Michael wanted to get this quick, he pressed CHECK: This humble germophobe seeks to cleanse the whole world. "Scrub a dub-dubs" It spoken as it's little birdy tweets. It threw their attacks at Michael, lucky for him, he only has 19HP, smells like detergent. He barely knew what to do, he pressed ACT, and Touch, he reach out, Woshua recoils from his touch. "Yuck!" It spoken as the bird tweet again. It attacked Michael again, he avoid all his attacks. He pressed ACT, the Clean. "Can you clean me?" Michael asked, reaching out for a scrub. It hops around excitedly. "Green means clean!" It cheered, spreading out the attacks, but few are green, he knew it means healing. He caught one, which max out his HP. It seems Woshua is satisfied now, Michael pressed MERCY and space Woshua. They walk forward, as Daniel find another Echo Flower. "Don't say that! Come on, I promise I won't laugh." It whispers, they walks to north, finding a hall. Next to it, has a sign. Michael reads it for them. "The power to take their SOULs. This is the power that the humans feared." Michael read, not thinking about it, they continue. It was a quiet room, full of water, one path to exit. They walk slowly in case something IS in the water. Then, a yellow tentacle flow up, which shaken them. "Uh...Let's walk faster..." Michael responded, soon he said it, another tentacle pops up. They were about to run, till the head of the underwater monster comes out, turns out to be sweet. "Hey...There, are you...Here to see the...Waterfall? Oh! I'm Onionsan!" Onionsan replied, with cute expression. "Hi Onionsan! I'm Elizabeth!" Elizabeth introduce herself, as they continue walking. "You're here to see the waterfall, huh!" Onionsan asked, excited. "Yeah! I love it here!" Elizabeth cheered. "Me too! It's my Big Favourite!" Onionsan cheered. "And now they're officially friends." Michael whispered, rolling his eyes. "Even though, the water's getting so shallow here...I, have to sit down all the time, but...He-Hey! That's OK! It beats moving to the city! Just like all my friends did!" Onionsan replied, following them. "Did ya know anything called the ocean, just asking" Elizabeth asked. "I've always wanted to go to the ocean! So don't worry! Undyne is gonna fix everything!" Onionsan cheered. "Oh shit" Michael groaned, realising they are the keys to unlock their freedom and dreams. Then, they reach to the ending of the room. "Hey...There...That's the exit, see ya soon! In the waterfallllllllllllllllllll" Onionsan replied, sinking into the water, Elizabeth wave goodbye.
