Rachel's POV

I followed the skeleton towards, well, wherever she was leading me, as she continued rambling on about different things. "-and my best friend's name is Daydream, and she's a skeleton like me. She has two older brothers named Dream and Nightmare, and-"

"Wait, Dream and Nightmare?" I asked.

"Yeah, they're Sans' from another AU. Dream's really sweet and tries making everyone happy, and Nightmare's really quiet, but tells the best stories. Their Au's probably one of my favorites, along with Outertale and Underswap."

"Underswap? I think Sills told me about that one."

"Sills? You know Silly!?"

"Yeah..."

"That's Blueberry's girl!"

"Yeah. ... What's with them, anyways?"

"I think they're trying to elope..." Art mumbled in thought. My eyes widened for a moment as I looked at her.

"You're kidding, right?"

"I don't know. That's what Paps thinks they're doing anyways. Or trying to do. I don't know, I think Blue's a little more than crazy for her."

"Woah..."

"Yeah... I would never do that... elope I mean. My parents would probably knock me silly. And I wouldn't want to do anything without their permission. Plus, their too overprotective for a boy to even like me."

"Then go for a girl. They cool too."

"No. Not my preference. Plus, there's a boy I already like."

"Oh?"

"I-i-i-i-it d-d-does-sn't m-matter-" Art started in a blushing mess.

"Hey, hey. I'm kidding... Is he cute?"

"!" Art went black to blushing.

"Ah, so he's hot?"

"AH! WHY WOULD YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT!?" Art asked, trying to use her hands to cover her blush.

"I'm kidding, for reals this time. Now, how much longer towards Alphys?"

"Just right through this door." We walked through a door and saw the small yellow dinosaur talking to Asriel and Flowey. When Asriel saw me, he's eyes lit up into stars and he ran towards me and gave me a hug.

"You're ok!"

"Yeah, I'm fine, kiddo."

"Finally, this stupid lizard has done nothing but mumble useless science shit."

"Flowey!" I scold. "No cursing!" Flowey just huffed, and Alphys walked over holding a vile.

"T-this should h-help."

"Help?"

"With your soul." I looked at her confused, then shrugged, gulping the liquid down like alcohol.

"Ack! Yuck, this ain't no booze!"

"You drink?" Art asks.

"I was kidding."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Don't need to. It's my business. Now let see how..." My soul appeared in front of me, fully colored. "Now how about..." My soul, eyes, and hair turned a gold color, making me feel a lot stronger than before. My soul disappeared and my eyes and hair returned to their normal color.

"Feeling better?" Alphys asked.

"Yeah, thanks Alphys."

...

"So..."

"How's life?"

"I mean, it could be better."

"It could be a lot better!"

"Calm down, Flowey. It could be a lot worse too."

"Yeah? How's that?"

"This could be Dusttale."

"Dusttale?" Asriel asked.

"Don't you worry your little prince head about it." Art said.

"How do you know so much about AUs?" Flowey asked.

"I have a lot of friends in high places."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Hopefully..."

...

"UGH! How much longer!?"

"Flowey, calm down. Alphys, do you by chance know where Sans is?" Everyone turned quiet. "Ok, that's not concerning."

"H-he's fine. Honest. But..." Asriel grabbed my hand and lead me out of the room, leading me down a hallway to a door.

"He's through there, but he won't talk to anyone."

"Well I don't need him to talk, just listen." I said, walking to the door. I opened it and looked at a balcony overlooking a ravine-like-thing? Sans had his back towards the door, and as soon as I closed the door, he stiffened. "Sans?"

"Go away." His voice was hoarse, as though he had been crying, but held anger.

"I'm not going anywhere. I need to talk to you."

"How could you?"

"How could I, what? You have to be specific."

"How could you bring him back?" Papyrus. He was talking about Papyrus.

"You know, some people would kill to have their family brought back from the dead. The least you could do is be a little greatful."

"I'm not upset that you brought him back, I'm upset that you brought him back to this." Dust everywhere, a psycho killer on the loose-"

"Watch your tone." I glare.

"My apologies, your psychotic killer sister on the loose-"

"I'm warning you, Sans-"

"What? You gonna kill me like she's doing to everyone else?"

"Sans! ... Look, I'm not here to argue with you. I have a little sister who needs my help, and I'm not going to sit here and do nothing. You have a brother who needs your help, and you're looking for ways to get back at Chara or Frisk, not realizing that Papyrus, your brother, needs you. Your family needs you. And mine needs me. Now you can either sit here and do nothing or come help me. Whatever you do is your choice, I'm not going to judge you for it, but I am going to hold you against it if something happens to the others." Sans said nothing, much less moved. I sigh then turned to the door. "Fine. I hope your happy, now that you're choosing this." I opened the door and walked back inside, closing the door behind me. Asriel wasn't in the hallway where I left him, so I assumed he went back to the room with Alphys, Art, and Flowey. Before I began my trek, I summoned my soul. I closed my eyes and concentrated as a wind circled around me. I opened my eyes, and two golden translucent wolves stood in front of me, waiting for orders. I crouched in front of the first wolf and whispered in its ear, telling it to go back and revive any monsters I haven't revived. The second wolf then stood in front of me, and I whispered in its ear to watch the others. The two wolves left and I stood up and began my trek out of the lab, not looking back.
