Sans chuckled, and turned to face Grillby. The flaming bartender was applauding with a content smile on his face, and a pink fire beneath his glasses. You waved farewell to him; finally, Sans led you out of the restaurant. His hand never left your side until you were outside the pub and into the cold air. You were glad you kept your scarf on during the dance; all that body heat was unbearable until the freezing winter wind hit you.

The skeleton slowly walked back to his house, with you following right besides him. You found that his soul was tucked away; you quickly took the liberty of guiding yours back into your chest as well. “That was freaking awesome back there, Sans.” You complimented, and he chuckled. “thanks, bucko. though, uh, can we like, never speak of this to anyone?” You laughed, and nod. “Sure. I won't tell anyone, but word might get around about your skills. And fast, too.” Sans closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

“i guess i’m going to have no choice but to blame it all on you.” “Fair enough.” You both dropped the topic, simply making small talk on the way home. You did not expect what was coming next; for Papyrus’s final game involved not just the three of us, but two others as well. Two people who you knew very well, but they knew nothing about you. Like usual.

                                                           ***

Sans courteously opened the door for you, and you hurried inside. He had wound up giving you his coat again during the stroll home to retain your warmth; it was slightly lined with sweat from dancing, but you didn't care. You hung the clothing item up on the rack by the door, and began taking off the younger skeleton’s scarf. “Paps, we’re ho-” Your sentence was cut short by three pairs of eyes on you and the short skeleton. You blinked, your jaw dropping.

It was none other than Undyne and Alphys. The whole gang was standing rather close to each other in proximity; when Sans went frozen by your side. “Uh….hello.” You croaked, and Undyne burst into an uproar. “WOAH!! Paps, is this the human you were telling me about?! NEAT!!” She ran over to you, and stuck out her webbed hand. “The name’s Undyne, punk! What's yours?!” She yelled, and you shook her hand forcefully.

“(Y/N). But you can call me (Nickname), if you want.” She laid her hands on her hips, and smiled with her big, sharp teeth. “This kid’s got strength! You seem a lot tougher than Frisk.” She complimented, making you grin nervously. “Heh, thanks. But, um, I’m not a kid. I'm 16.” You laughed uneasily, and Sans stepped closer to you. Resting a hand on your shoulder, he winked at Undyne. “it's a little fishy, i know. but she’s cool; just a pain in the bass sometimes.” He chuckled, and you elbowed him playfully.

“Shut up! You just need to ketchup to my level, short-stack.” You raised a hand teasingly above his head, and he smacked it away. Undyne groaned loudly, flopping down onto the green couch exasperatedly. “Not ANOTHER comedian!” Papyrus screamed with frustration, and Alphys giggled. It was her turn to introduce herself.

“H-hi! I’m A-Alphys, the R-Royal scientist, and that b-blue fish lady with r-r-red hair is Undyne, once again.” You took her small claw and shook it gently, politely kneeling down to her level. “How's Mew-Mew-Kissy-Cutie going for ya?” You asked with a smile, and her timid behavior vanished instantly. “Oh my god! You know about that anime?!” She practically jumped up and down, while you saw Sans walk over to his brother. Papyrus must have had something important to tell him, because the younger brother was posing heroically and speaking in a very professional manner.

Directing your attention back to Alphys, you recalled how Frisk knows about the anime; not you. Luckily, you saved yourself with the perfect comeback that popped up into your head. “Uh, yeah! It's, um, so much better than the second movie.” You stuttered, trying to remember the rants that the yellow dinosaur had with Frisk. Alphys shook her head with vigorous agreement, and stormed around like an actual cartoon character.

“I know, right?!” But before she could continue on, Undyne covered you by waving you over to chat more on the sofa. “Yo (Nickname), don't tell me you're a nerd too! Get over here and talk about yourself.” You silently asked the Royal Scientist if it was alright to put your conversation on hold; Alphys, who had by then returned to her sheepish demeanor, smiled and urged you on towards the Captain.

You thanked her; hesitantly, you plopped down onto the seat offered, and turned to face the fish lady. She scoot over, and threw both arms around the back of the chair.

Undyne was a tall woman; taller than Papyrus. She looked about 6’3”, but could be even taller in her full armor. “Glad to see we finally got a human who’s got height!” She picked up your gaze above her figure, and unexpectedly trapped you in a headlock. She started giving you a noogie, which hurt pretty bad. You tried to escape her grasp, and glared over at Papyrus for help. He was still scolding Sans; who of which looked like he could care less. You snickered, and decided to put up with the attack.

Undyne let go after another second or so, and continued her speech. “Anyways, I’m Captain Of the Royal Guard! And that dork-” she pointed to Papyrus, “-wants in. I'm going to be giving him some training tomorrow; and now that I see you have some muscles there, I wanted to know if you’d wanna come along.” You looked at her, stunned. “But we just met!” You laughed, and she slapped your back. “Pfft, Papyrus wouldn’t shut up about you until you arrived! He said that tonight we’re having some kind of game for a competition between humans and monsters.”

She smiled maniacally; out of the corner of your eye, you saw Alphys grab a wooden chair from the kitchen and bring it out into the living room. “And I LOVE competitions!” Undyne pumped a fist into the air, nearly punching you along with it. Papyrus must of finished his little chat with Sans, because he walked over to us girls and announced the game. Sans took a seat besides you, folding his leg over his lap. He gave you a lazy wink, and you blushed a slight pink. You didn't think anyone noticed the little exchange, but Alphys did.

She catches everything that might give her a chance to fangirl; her eyes widened under her glasses, and she whipped out her phone. She sent herself an immediate reminder to tell Undyne about her little discovery later. Papyrus cleared his throat, and picked up the scarf hanging on the rack. He put it back on his “battle body”,  and began to explain the game.

“ALRIGHT, FOLKS! TONIGHT’S FINAL GAME WILL BE A FAMILY GAME NIGHT. I’VE ALREADY BROUGHT SNACKS AND DRINKS; WE’RE GONNA BE UP TILL DAWN!” He proclaimed, and Undyne cheered. You smiled at this, remembering that the fish lady was Papyrus’s best friend. They always did stuff like this together. Alphys clapped her hands, and Sans yawned. “whatever you say, bro. i’m down.”

Papyrus was happy that we were all ready to get started, and continued. “OUR FIRST PARTY GAME WILL BE: BONE BREAKER!”

Uh-oh.
