I woke up to a nightmare. You know, the norm. I calmed my breathing, slowed my pounding soul. That little mother fucker, thinking they can use us as toys! I sighed. Another day, another reset. I picked my hoodie up off the floor and slipped it on, not thinking twice before I slipped on my slippers. We still have a couple of days before the human comes. Let's work on the machine? I opened the door to my room and stumbled downstairs into the living room. Would Pappy be mad if we had one of his cookies for breakfast? I flopped onto the couch and sunk into the comfy green cushions. Ah.. Sweet, relaxation.. "heh."

§§§

I nearly drifted off there when the door slammed open, Undyne and Pap coming in. No doubt they finished training! "SANS! YOUR UP EARLIER THAN USUAL! IS SOMETHING WRONG?" We are fine, Papyrus, don't worry. "heh. yeah. i'm good. just couldn't sleep last night." We can't worry the boy. Your excuses suck today. "I SEE.. WAS IT ANOTHER NIGHTMARE?" Maybe one of us should take over today, Sans? Your exhausted. We will pretend to be you, as agreed. You need rest. And we WON'T let Agro out either! I'm determined to keep him in! What? I'll only hurt them a little. No. Hurting is bad Agro!

§§§

I sighed. 'Ok, ok. You guys win. Soul, take over.' "nah. it's ok, papyrus. i'm just BONE tired." Bum bum tis! "NYEHHHHHH! WHY?! I WAS HAVING SUCH A GOOD DAY TOO!"
"y'know? i haven't eaten yet. maybe some of your spaghetti will help me?"
"ALAS! YOUR RIGHT. ILL GO MAKE YOU MY DELICIOUS CUISINE!" Papyrus disappeared into the kitchen leaving Undyne and us alone. "Nightmares? What did Papyrus mean by that punk?"
"it is nothing really, i used to have nightmares as a kid. i'm fine, really."
"Huh. Well we're friends so you know you can tell me anything, right?" She prompted. Not even bro knows everything.. Sorry, 'dyne. "yeah. i understand. thanks undyne." The fish lady sighed. "Well ok then.."

§§§

Silence wove through the room. Soul had zipped up Sans's-their- hoodie and pulled up the hood. He debated changing the shorts into sweatpants and Tennis shoes. That was his preference, but at the same time he was supposed to be Sans. Sans didn't want anyone knowing about us. How.. Fragmented we were. So we've always been like this. We don't want Papyrus worrying about something out of his control. So we hide, pretending to be Sans if necessary. Eventually Papyrus came in with plates of spaghetti for all of us. "thanks papyrus." The three of us ate. Papyrus and Undyne were talking and occasionally sending us worried looks. I wanna cookie! Hush kiddo, don't distract Soul. 'Thanks Drift.' I'll take your place if you need, Soul. Thanks Genesis. I have things I must tend to as well. And if they ask to train, I'll take over! 'Nation, no.' Awe.

§§§

"-ANS! SANS!"
"huh? yea? what's up?"
"Are you sure your ok, punk? Your spacing off again."
"heh heh. i'm just being an astronaut."
"SANS! OH MY GOD!!" Papyrus groaned. "So seriously, what's up?"
"We were thinking maybe you could train with us for once? What could go wrong, punk?" 'Say no, say no, say no sa-' "sure." Nation! We never train anymore! What could go wrong? It's not something Sans would do for one. And you could trigger Agro. It's stupid, Nation. I won't free Agro. We'll be fine. '...' Papyrus's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. "REALLY?!"
"really, really." Undyne was frowning for some reason. "something wrong?"
"You NEVER train with us. Why the sudden change?"
"pap asked and i felt like obliging today." We could see the suspicion in her single eye. "OH MY I'M SO EXCITED I AM GOING TO GET READY! NYEH HEH HEH HEH!" 'Well.. He's happy.' What happens when you indulge in me instead of the others!

§§§

We were outside Waterfall thanks to our infamous shortcut. 'No blasters, no blue attacks.' Ok, ok. No blasters, no blue attacks. Got it. 'Good.' "MAYBE I SHOULD GO FIRST.. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU TRAINED, SANS.."
"No! I'm going against Sans first! Gahhh!" And with that we were suddenly initiated in battle. We weaved through the spears hurdled at us, making it look like they were narrowly missing them. As Pap said, it HAS been a long time since we trained. Sans didn't want them knowing about Gaster or the resets either. Undyne waved her spear and our soul turned green. Shit. "Now you can't run away, you coward!" We summoned bones where the spears were about to hit. My determination was starting to cave into frustration. Let me handle this, Soul, let me handle this. Undyne will kill us in one hit if your distracted. You will kill us if you keep distracting me- shit.

3 POV

Sans started laughing almost maniacally. His eye erupted into blue flames, something Undyne and Papyrus never seen before. "What the hell-" "trying to kill me undyne? that's a low blow even for you." She'd never heard such rage in the older skeleton's voice. Neither had Papyrus. He looked as afraid as she felt. "I don't underst-"
"you don't understand? why wouldn't you. you never even bothered to check my stats. 1 atk. 1 def. 1 hp. well don't worry. i'll make this right."
"W-WHA- SANS WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
"sans? sans?! never compare me to that weakling!" 'Sans' snapped his fingers, summoning two large blasters. "this is your punishment." The beasts started to charge, gathering blue magical energy. They opened to release fire when..

CRACK

CRACK

The weapons disintegrated when two bone attacks pierced through them. "i'll be damned if you hurt them agro." Sans's voice, lacking the rage, came through. Said skeleton was covering his glowing eye, the flames flicking through. "sans.. one more second and ya woulda been to late.."
"get the fuck back in my head."
"someone's going to get yelled at. well no matter now. you have explaining to do."
"no thanks to you.." Sans muttered as he slipped into his normal disposition, eyelights white and attacks all but gone. He'd deal with Nation later. For now.. He looked to a ridged Undyne and shocked/confused Papyrus. "i.. can explain.."
