Duska

I've been awake for around ten minutes now, I haven't gotten up because of how comfortable this bed is. I haven't even bothered to open my eyes. I hear banging from what seems to be outside, am I in the Snowdin home? I slowly open my eyes, only to see the closed eye sockets of Sans.

"Pap..."

I whisper it quietly, I had fallen asleep and Papyrus had wanted us both to be comfortable and he put us in the same bed. I'm really too tired to care, i've been working for days and sleep seems to be a good way out of it. I close my eyes again but a slight pressure on my nose opens them.

"sans 'NOSE' when your awake..."

He sings the words as if it's apart of 'Santa Claus is coming to town', his voice sounds really nice. I cross my eyes to see a bony pointer finger directly on my nose and his smile much larger than usual.

"I just woke up..."

"you've been up for a while, your breathing changed."

"You've been listening to my breathing?"

"nothin' else to do."

I sigh as I look at his lights which act as pupils.

"You can remove your finger now."

"but what if the glue worked?"

I roll my eyes and sit up, we seem to be in Sans' old room. The room is empty besides the bed and a lone table in the opposing corner.

"i like the new room better."

"Only because it has stuff in it."

I walk over to the door and open it slightly, to listen for noises, and I notice Sans beside me.

"what are you doing?"

"There were noises, I want to know if their inside or not."

He walks past me without a word and heads outside. I slowly follow him but I haven't entirely woken up yet and so I drag my feet across the floor, nearly falling over my own feet three times before reaching it. I open the door to receive a rush of cold air against my exposed skin, Papyrus must have removed my jacket before putting me in bed. Too lazy to retreive my jacket I walk out into the snow and head towards the back of the house. The sudden sound of electrical currents jump my out of my drowziness, it's coming from the backroom.

"move papyrus!"

I begin running through the shin-height snow, hoping to get inside before anything bad happens. The open door shows that someone activated the machine and it's absorbing the magic from the snow and using the water it creates to cool it down. Papyrus is holding his left arm while Sans stands in front of him, hand glowing blue. Everyone else is standing behind them, all watching the scene occur. I quickly push them aside to reach Sans' side, watching the machine in case something goes wrong.

"it's... working..."

"How do you know?"

"the noise... it's sounds so familiar..."

The machine began making popping and fizzing noises, everyone besides Sans and I moved backwards to avoid it's possible explosion.

"S-s-sans! It's going t-to blow!"

He doesn't answer Alphys but instead runs over to the machine and begins messing with it. With each button he pressed and levers he pulled the machine seemed to react in a different way, a change in noise or the way the lights blinked. Suddenly the glass pane released a flash of light and I feel someone pull me down to protect me from the blast. Blue fabric is the only thing I see but I feel boney fingers keep me still. The light disappears and I feel the boney fingers removed from me.

"wha..."

I stand up to see both Sans and Papyrus in front of the machine, helping someone stand. They stumble a bit but the two help them stand up which able me to see his face. He smiles as he sees me and begins moving his hands.

"Hello. Again."

"G... Gaster?"

"DAD!?! NYEH HEH HEH!"

Papyrus crashes into Gaster but he's able to remain standing while he embraces his younger son. He looks directly at Sans and motions him to join the hug. Sans only stands there, his hood covering his face. I see tears fall to the ground and his smile waver as what a lip what do.

"d... dad... i've tried... for so long..."

Gaster begins to sign something but Papyrus quickly scoops his brother up and forces him into a hug with him and his father. Sans only cries as they hug, too happy to do anything else. I feel my own tears run down my face, why is life so much like a bad drama? After a minute of embrace they gently put Sans down and Gaster looks towards me.

"Thank. You. For. Helping. Sans."

"Um... no problem. Sans is a good friend so I would do it again."

He smiles at my answer as Sans walks up to me. He motions me to crouch down to his height and I do awkwardly. His eyes look happy but they seemed a little shy.

"i have been trying to complete this for... years now. you come into my timeline and you change my entire life. you look after papyrus, you help keep him safe. you helped me have hope... thank you."

His cheekbones gain a blue tint as he suddenly leans forward and puts his teeth to my lips. I close my eyes and hear everyone in the room 'oohs' as I let him stay there for a few seconds, I think he's kissing me. I feel them move away and I open my eyes again, he had put his hood back over his face.

"Hey Duska! It looks like your in the BONE ZONE!"

I feel heat rush to my own cheeks as Undyne says this, Papyrus just sighs in defeat.

"UNDYNE! PLEASE NO PUNS!"

"It was funny!"

"SANS DOES IT ENO-"

The machine begins making noises again, scaring everyone in the room. Gaster pushes his younger son away while Sans runs up to the machine and begins reading panels.

"what!?! but that's..."

The door of the machine explodes and it appears in front of me with a blue glow surrounding it. It gets thrown to an empty corner to the room as the smoke from the explosion begins to fade. Coughing can be heard from inside and I watch as Sans run into the thick smoke.

"Sans!"

His silohette reappears along with another. The coughing continues as he exits the smoke, along with the monster who had saved me from my own magic. He coughs a few more times before looking around the room, his eyes land on Gaster.

"Gaster my friend, it seems that your son finished your work for you."

"My. Friend. Your. Alive."

"Yes, it appears so. I am sorry for disappearing on everyone, I never expected to be betrayed by the one I loved..."

He walks up to Gaster and they enter another friendly embrace. Sans stands by my side again and coughs to gain their attention. They look over and the mummy-monster looks to us, focusing on me. 

"Oh! You must be Duska."

"Um... yes. Who are you?"

"Ah yes... of course she wouldn't of mentioned me. How is Olivia these days?"

"Olivia... who are-"

It clicks suddenly, he's talking about my mother.

"Wait..."

"I... am Sylin. It is good to see my child grow up to be so strong."

I stare at him as I absorb his words. He's... my dad. As he holds out an arm out for a hug, I realise that he cares about me... I full out run at him and wrap my arms around him, tears fall freely from my eyes.

"Don't cry my dear, all is fine now."

I cry into his shoulder until I feel a third hand on my back, I pull myself from Decimuz to see Sans looking up at me.

"bad drama huh?"

"Heh heh... yeah. Just like one, there's a happy ending and everything..."

"No my dear..."

Sylin pulls my face toward his to show his pale face, I smile as I notice this because of my own paleness. We share eye colour as well. 

"It's not the ending yet. You still have a long way to go! And from the looks of it-"

He looks over at Sans with a smile, he hides beneath his hood.

"-it may be a happy one."
