"YIP! YIP!"

A small annoying dog bounced around the two little skeletons, hoping for one of them to drop one of their tasty frozen treats.

"YIP, YIP YIP YIP!"

"i think he wants your ice cream bro..." said Sans slyly.

"ALL HE'S GONNA GET IS MAH FOOT UP HIS ASS! DIS MY ICE CWEAM! GO WAY DOODY-DOG!"

"YIP YIP!" The dog continued to run about, completely oblivious to the infant's anger.

"pap, it's melting."

"*GASP!*" Frantically, Papyrus lapped at his cone, not wanting his hand and sleeve to get sticky and gross. He usually waited until his ice cream was gone before intentionally getting messy like a good baby, but this dog was proving to be quite a distraction.

"YOU WANNA DIE DOGGY? IS DAT WHAT YOU WANT? I USE YO' FUR AS A BLANKY!"

"why don't you just give him a little lick pap? just a little one."

"Nyeh?" Pap looked at him quizzically. "You want me to lick da' pup?"

"no-"

"I lick em' on da' snout?"

"no bro, you're not listening to me."

And the baby continued not to listen, giving the dog a small lick on the nose. Maybe if the doggy thought Papyrus was a friend, he would stop trying to get at his ice cream.

Friends didn't take friend's ice cream.

"There you go doody-dog! We friends now, so you go home."

The dog pawed at his nose and whimpered, not liking how the air was now suddenly too chilly in that particular area.

"you're so gross pap, heh heh heh!"

"Nyeh? YOU GOSS! I gots to protect mah cweam cause' SOMEBODY won't look after me!"

"i have one hp bro! whaddya' want me to do, kick em'? he'll bite me and i'll die papyrus."

"Throw a snowball then lazybones! Im-po-vise!"

"now if i do that, i'll have to hold my cone in one hand or it'll get dirty, and eventually my arm will get tired and then i'll have a problem."

"YOU HAVE A PROBLEM NOW!"

"not with these i don't," said Sans pulling out an old CD player and ear buds. The batteries were long dead, but luckily for him, Papyrus didn't know that. He could pretend not to hear him as long as the infant didn't start wondering why he never heard anything despite his older brother turning the volume up whenever he yelled.

"Why you gotta ignore the baby Snas? I gots a per-dicament over here and you's not helping me..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...I hope you drop your stupid stink phallic ice cweam."

"my ice creams not phallic!"

"Yes it is. Why you so cweepy Snas? Don't you want friends?"

"I'M creepy?! my ice cream's just like this, i didn't make it! besides, who pretends his spaghetti noodles are snakes?"

"I does! Da' meatballs be eggies," said the baby smiling. "The biggest noodle be the mama snake and I's the bird that gobbles em' all up! Nyeh heh heh!"

"..."

"Then I eats the eggs."

Sans chuckled and slurped up some juice from his popsicle. "you eat the eggs huh? you know there are babies in those eggs..."

"...Nyeh?"

"yep. little baby snakes.

"Nuh uh! The eggs be for the snake's breakfast! People don't eat babies!"

"uh, yeah they do bro. where do you think baby snakes come from? you think the mom just poops them out?"

"Yes."

"no. no pap, they come from eggs."

Papyrus's eyes filled with tears. "I's eating babies...?"

"uh.."

Oh crap!

"Nyeh...nyeehhh..."

"no! no no no, don't cry! you're PRETENDING to eat babies! your meatballs are made of meat pappy."

"Meat of baby?"

"no bro, they're probably made of magic."

"Magic babies?"

"NO."

Note to self, don't feed Pappy eggs.

"Is dis ice cweam made of baby?" The baby bones held up his melting ice cream.

"*sigh* no bro, it's not. just eggs."

"But there be a talking snowman over in Snowdin. Maybe dis ice cweam be his baby!"

"nope."

"But maybe it is! Maybe da' ice cweam man be evil big Buther! Maybe he steals the snowman babies and sells em' on da' market!"

"...i highly doubt that."

"I bet he do. I bet he evil as hell! You just like him cause' he give you food."

"hey screw you pal, I like him cause' he's cheap-"

"YOU CHEEP! YOU SELL YOUR MORALITY FOR SWEETS! You's bad big Buther, you's bad and I'm telling Daddy!"

"you do that."

"I'm gonna! Imma tell upon you and destroy da' ice cweam man too!"

"the hell you will! you leave that monster alone papyrus!"

"NYEH HEE HEE! IMMA SAVE DA' BABIES!"

"GET BACK HERE!"

The infant took off like a bullet, the dog and Sans right on his heels.

"YIP YIP!"

"GET LOST DOODY-DOG! I'S RUNNING OVER HERE!"

"TRIP HIM! TRIP HIM DOG!"

"DON'T TRIP DA' BABY!"

"YIP, YIP YIP!"

"Huh?" The ice cream man tilted his head from behind the umbrella of his cart to try and spot where the commotion was coming from. "Aw-hawww, are you three having fun?"

"RUN DUDE! FUCKING RUN!!"

"DIE BABY-KILLER!!"

BLOOSH!

BLOOSH!

Two Gaster Blasters fired in succession, one incinerating the ice cream man's hat.

"AHHH! WHAT THE HELL KID?!"

"NYEHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

BLOOSH!

BLOOSH!

"WHY IS HE ATTACKING ME? SANS YOU SWORE HE WOULDN'T ATTACK ME!"

"YOU'S SELLING BABIES ON DA' MARKET!"

BLOOSH!

"SANS GET YOUR CRAZY BROTHER!!" Screamed the cart-owner ducking down. It was a miracle he hadn't been killed yet, but if this kept up...

"I'M TRYING! BRO STOP!"

"I GOTS TO SAVE THE BABIES SNAS!"

"THE ICE CREAM'S NOT MADE OF BABIES, IT'S MADE OF MILK!"

"Nyeh?" Papyrus stopped. "But is all frozen and-" looking down at his ice cream, he saw that it was no longer frozen; the heat wafting in from Hotland had melted it, leaving only bits of magic strawberries behind.

"*SLUUURP!* EWWWW! Dis NASTY! It taste like medi-sin! You trying to get baby high? You work wit Jerry?"

"yeah pap. he's the high cream man, heh heh heh!"

"...Go home Snas."

"YIP YIP YIP!" The little dog joyfully lapped up the drippings of the cone, seemingly oblivious to the whole situation. The monster behind the cart was sadly however, NOT so ADHD.

"Why don't you BOTH go home? Just-just all of you GO HOME."

"wh-why me? What'd I do?"

"What'd you do? You made a joke instead of I dunno, maybe TELLING YOUR BROTHER NOT TO MURDER PEOPLE?"

"...it was just a joke. I was just trying to lighten the mood a lil' bit, chill out."

"It's not the joke Sans, it's the fact that you ignored what just happened. I've seen you two playing alone for a long time now and it's because of THIS that you ARE alone. You can't just ignore your brother's dangerous behavior or it's going to get worse-"

"whatever!" exclaimed Sans, highly offended. "who are you to tell me how to raise MY family? you don't know me OR my bro! pap's just a baby, i'm sorry he can't control his emotions ALL the time! i'm not his dad anyway, he's not MY responsibility-"

"You're not much of a brother either. Why don't you try a bit more discipline or something? If that doesn't work, maybe you should consider putting him somewhere he can't hurt people."

"Nyeh...?"

"i'll keep that in mind. in the meantime, maaaybe you should consider minding your own business?"

"You sending me away...?"

"of course not baby bro," said Sans, kneeling down and placing a hand on the infant's shoulder. "you mean the world to me! who'd want to get rid of such a cute baby anyway?"

"Dat's too...but is also too dat you don't gots many friends. Is dat really cause' of me?"

"Of course not," said a voice from around the corner. "These people are just idiots. Idiot cowards."

"flowey!"

"Yes yes, it's Flowey the flower. Here to save the day once again. What seems to be the problem here?"

"This baby-"

"That question was rhetorical. We OBVIOUSLY have another case of a full grown adult picking on a child. Shocker."

"HE ATTACKED ME!"

"The baby attacked you? With what?"

"With his magic cannon things!"

"He attacked you with his magic?"

"Yes!"

"That thing that EVERYBODY has? That thing YOU have?"

"Y-Yeah..."

"..."

"Look, I know what you're getting at talking...flower...but I can't just fight a baby-"

"Why not? If Papyrus is being a turd-sandwich then Beat. His. Ass. Simple."

"Um, Dirtbutt, you's not helping me very good..."

"Who says I'm here to help you? Hit the road thumb-sucker."

"GRR! NYEH!" With all the strength a little baby bones could muster, Papyrus angrily threw his empty cone at the big-mouthed traitor in front of him, hoping to at LEAST cover him in yucky pink goo. Instead it hit the wall with a *CUSH!* and merely splattered on the ground; Waterfall's runoff quickly washing it away.

"Nice shot, you're a regular Robin Hood-"

"STUPID STINK FLOWER!"

"bro, no! we don't throw things!"

"Sometimes I do..."

"no we don't!"

"But sometimes I do..."

"He's trying to tell you that you SHOULDN'T throw things," said the ice cream man preparing another cone. No doubt the baby would want another one and anyone's G was good G in his opinion, especially in these hard times. The ice cream man was one of the more profitable jobs in the Underground because of the importance people placed on their children, but his image needed to be maintained. Calm, patient, and kind; that was the ice cream man, and he was good at it. Sans had even once called him the Nice cream man as a joke and more and more people were beginning to catch on to the name. Hopefully one day his son would take over the family business, but until then...

"Would you like another cone? This time be sure to stay away from Waterfall's exit, it tends to get a bit hot there." He held the cone out to the infant with a smile, hoping the brothers both would forgive and forget their little argument.

WHAP!

"NOBODY WANTS YOUR STUPID MEDICATED ICE CREAM!" shouted Flowey, slapping the cone out of the monster's hand. Papyrus quickly caught it using his Wingdings and looked at it curiously.

"Dis health cweam? Dis good for the baby?"

"Yes it is," replied the ice cream man glaring at the plant. "It's a special blend that's easy to eat and heals children too young for adult medicine and foods. That's why it's so popular...speaking of medication," his glare softened. "Are you in need of first aid? You're a plant, but you look like you just came from Hotland..."

"I came from the Lab actually. And do you know WHY I came from the Lab?"

"Oooh ooh! Pick me! Baby knows!"

"Yeah? I bet Smiley knows too, don'tcha buddy?"

"...is it because I left you there-"

"IT'S BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME THERE!!"

The ice cream man slowly began to move his cart away towards Snowdin, hoping no one would notice him leaving. He didn't know who this flower was, but he'd served customers like this before. The extra G was NOT worth the headache he was currently getting...nor was a cave-in.

"how'd you get past the lava entrance?"

"I FREAKING RAN SMILEY!"

The tiny plant dipped his burning roots in one of Waterfall's shallow puddles. For a moment there, he didn't think he would make it. It took a massive amount of courage and Determination to even attempt the journey, but with the help of his cabin fever, he found the strength to take a chance at freedom. Now though he had another problem.

Where am I gonna find a new place to photosynthesize?

I had Alphys's sun lamps in the Lab, but here...

"I need to find a place with good sun..."

"Da' Ruins gots good sun..."

"Huh?"

"bro, you've seen the sun?!"

"Where? Where is it?"

I'm NOT going back to that stupid lab.

"Is where dat big-ass door be...and da' doggy door."

"YIP YIP!"

"Big door...?"

Flowey thought back a long time ago to when he and Chara used to explore the Underground. He remembered a bright field of flowers, but that was in the opposite direction in the throne room near their home...and it didn't have a door.

A big door...a big door...

"Ugh, I can't remember what you're talking about!"

"Nyeh?"

"Uh, I mean, I HEARD about the door, from one of your dad's phone calls, but I don't remember what he said."

"..."

"YIP YIP YIP!"

"SHUT UP FUR BAG! YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY ICE CREAM!"

Was there ever a door Chara couldn't get through? One with a doggy door?

"i wanna see the sun..." said Sans quietly.

"You wanna see da' sun? Why big Buther? It hurt your eyes and make you hot."

"the sun is the biggest star in the world though pap..."

"THE SUN'S A SPARKLY?!"

"yep, and it's bigger than ANYTHING."

"Bigger than Fluffy Buns?!"

"yep!"

"Bigger than yo' head?!"

"...yeah."

"If you've seen the sun Trashbag, then WHY are you asking how big it is?"

"...I only see it a widdle bit from a hole in da' ceiling...and only sometimes. Is when da' doody dog go home. There be a hole behind his com-poo-ter dat leads to the Ruins and udder paces too."

"the dog...has a computer. right."

"Where is this door?"

"just ignore him flowey, he's obviously lying," said Sans extremely disappointed.

"No he's not."

"how do you know?"

"Just trust me he's not!"

We've had problems with this dog since we moved into the Underground.

The Annoying Dog was one of the smaller complaints the kingdom's people had, but he was long lasting and weird. The little creature reminded Flowey of Papyrus in a way, causing problems wherever he went and getting away with it because he 'didn't know any better.' He'd often heard of seemingly random items going missing from various places never to be found again. Some monsters claimed in horror, that they'd seen the dog absorbing some of the items into his body before scampering away, sometimes through the walls as if he were a ghost. The king warned everyone not to pet the Annoying Dog and to keep their distance whenever they could, but it seemed impossible to keep the hound out of any building. Many would cry out in terror upon turning around and suddenly seeing the legendary monster wagging his tail in their kitchen or living room, although the doors and windows were locked and they had been alone only moments before.

Chara had a strange fascination with the furry menace that Flowey always had a hard time understanding. Whenever the dog was spotted, they'd drop whatever they were doing and run after him, only to lose him in a wall somewhere. They'd then pound on the stone and search it for some sort of crease while Flowey let out a breath of relief from behind. The dog reminded him of Papyrus, true, but the absorbtion ability also brought back memories of a monster from an old VHS tape they had found at the Dump simply called the Thing.

He wanted nothing to do with this creature, no matter HOW much loot he had stored away.

I don't have a choice anymore though. I need to go through this mutt's tunnel if I want to find a place to gather energy.

"YIP YIP!"

"Da' doggy door be in Snowdin. It gots the kingdom shapes on it and is reeeal tall! As big as a tree!"

"...Are you talking about that door in that cave with all the glowing mushrooms?"

"Yeah."

"You idiot! That's not a doggy door!"

"Is too! Is the door the doody dog uses! I sees it!"

"Stupid baby."

"hey, c'mon now. the longer we fight the more pap's ice cream melts. we need the dog to open the door, right? I mean, no one else has said anything about finding his house so..."

"Yep! Da' doody dog gots to go inside first or it don't open."

"alright then, let's go."

"Right!" Flowey jumped up and wrapped himself around Sans. "ONWARDS DUMBO! TO SNOWDIN TUT TUT!"

"GET OFF ME!"

"NYEH HEE HEE HEE HEE!"

Leading the dog with the ice cream, the three reached the cave and went inside.

"SEE? No doggy door."

"Nyeh? You blind Dirt-Butt? Is right there!"

"That's NOT a doggy door. Doggy doors have flaps!"

"bro, watch where you're swinging that thi-aww! You got it all over my hoodie!"

"Nyeh heh heh, cweeeeen it up."

"you clean it up!"

The Annoying Dog watched as a glob of strawberry ice cream slid down the side of Sans' sleeve, almost hitting the ground.

"You want dis cweam doggy?"

He said nothing and continued to eye the glob expectantly.

"Open the door and I give you all da' yumminess you can dweam of."

Again, the baby was ignored as the dog licked it's chops and shuffled his paws impatiently, waiting for the glob to fall.

"He's not listening to you. Smear some ice cream on the door or something."

"Kay'."

Waddling over to the door Papyrus stopped and dropped down on all fours, holding his ice cream in the air with his Wingdings.

"What the hell are you do-"

"YIP YIP! I's a baby doggy and I wish to pee on da' carpet, but I can't get inside. Oh woe is me! *WHINE*"

"Arf...?" The dog lifted an ear and tilted his head in confusion.

"Of all the stupid..."

"heh heh heh heh! go pappy! show em' what you want!"

SCRITCH SCRITCH SCRITCH SCRITCH!

Using both hands, Papyrus scratched at the door as best he could, whining pitifully and using his font to communicate. This time, the dog DID listen, turning away from the glob on Sans' hoodie and morphing through the wall in his patent disturbing way.

"Ugh, I hate seeing that."

"did...that dog just go through the wall...?"

Weird...

"hm...well whatever, good job bro!"

Smiling, Papyrus rolled over onto his back and pushed at the door with both feet, opining it. Inside the dog stood on a patchwork blanket panting and grinning as always.

"That tunnel better be here you milk-puking-"

"Is under the com-poo-ter I said! Why you no listen Dirt-Butt? Dat's how you learn things ya' know?"

"*WHINE WHINE!*"

"Oh yeah! Here you go doody dog!" said Papyrus handing over his Ice cream."Be sure to eat the cone too, cause' littering is bad, right Snas?"

"right."

The happy hound ate the entire thing almost immediately, licking his nose and sniffing around for any bits he may have missed.

"Nyeh heh heh! He eat like you big Buther!"

"Yeah he does, the PIG!"

"..."

"Speaking of pigs, you might not fit in here Smiley," said Flowey inspecting the tunnel with a frown. "Maybe you should go home and eat some popato chisps, I don't need an entourage anyway."

"whatever! both of you can get bent, I can fit in there no problem!" exclaimed Sans, though he did have his doubts.

We definitely need to widen this tunnel or something if we ever plan to come back here. Papyrus is good at digging and building stuff, maybe he can do something about it later.

"NO you can't, you'll get stuck you moron."

"no i won't..."

"Fine, learn the hard way. What do I care? Just let me go first."

"No! BABY goes first. I knows da' way, you'll just get lost like the Ugly Duckling. Member' dat book Snas?"

"Did you just call me ugly?"

"yeah I remember the book, but more importantly, you're telling the truth right? If there's a maze of tunnels in here and we get lost, we'll die pap. no one knows we're down here..."

"YOU'RE ugly."

"I knows the way, but you gots to follow mah butt kay'? Follow the baby butt and don't go nowhere else. Even if you see a Veggie monster, you gots to follow the butt Snas, or you get lost. Lossa tunnels down here."

"You're ugly and you're stupid."

"iiii won't wander off baby bro."

Why do you two think I'd risk my life for some food? Do I really eat that much?

...

Nah, it's probably my hoodie. My hoodie's padded and it's making me look fat. I should probably take it off before I crawl through here...

"Also don't touch da' butt, or I calls the guard."

"No one wants to touch your butt you pervert! Well...maybe Smiley does, his drawings are weird-"

"THEY'RE SPACESHIPS!"

"But I'M the one who's going to be behind you, not him."

"But then who gonna push Snas if he get stuck?"

"No one. If this fatass gets trapped it's HIS problem not mine. I already told him he wouldn't fit; now let's go."

Nodding, the baby bones crawled under the desk and into the tunnel, Flowey following close behind. There were a lot of things the plant hadn't checked out in the dog's room; things Chara would've KILLED to inspect and/or steal, but Flowey had little interest in anything but finding some sun.

He could always come back anyway.

SCRUFF SCRUFF!

SCRUFF SCRUFF!

"Would you hurry up? The wet dog and baby smell is making me want to throw up."

"Slow your roll Dirt-Butt. I's Papyrus the Baby, not Sonic the Hedgehog. You wait."

SCRUFF SCRUFF!

The three took a left and continued on at an annoying slow pace, being careful not to scrape themselves on the hard rocky walls. Especially Sans, who had had seconds thoughts about all this half-way through the journey. Every so often Papyrus would stop and look over his little shoulder to see if his brother was still behind him; he would then be rewarded with a thumbs up, though the baby could see he was struggling with the encroaching claustrophobia that seemed to be threatening even Flowey's sanity at this point.

"OH MY GOD, WOULD YOU JUST HURRY UP? HE'S FINE!!"

"Shut da' fuk up Dirt-Butt, or I kicks you in da' face."

"YOU JUST TRY IT! I'LL BITE YOUR LITTLE TOES OFF!"

"play nice you two, heh heh."

"Shut up Smiley, you're not my mom."

SCRUFF SCRUFF!

SCRUFF SCRUFF!

Finally, the tunnel started to become wider and then wider still, eventually opening up into what looked like a cliffside of sorts. The place was an empty dead end that overlooked the mining city people called "Home."

"uhh...I don't think we're supposed to be here baby bro..."

"Dis be the Old City where we gets da' crystals Snas-"

"Correction; this is where we USED to get the magic crystals," said Flowey."Then some idiot screwed everything up and released a bunch of poisonous gas in the city's mine."

"Lossa monsters used to live here, but then there were too many babies, so they moved, but there still be peoples..."

"Are...are you not listening to me? NO ONE'S WORKING THERE, THIS PLACE IS POISONOUS, WE NEED TO MOVE."

Sans nodded. "he's right pap. not all gases can be seen; this place could be toxic-"

"Nuh uh! I's here yeserday!"

"Bullcrap."

"I ate a worm and climbed a rock, and sniffed da' flowers like dis *SNIIIIIIIFFF!*"

"UGH, DON'T DO THAT! I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT!"

"*SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF!*

"SMILEY GET YOUR BROTHER!"

"who built these ruins? did someone live here before we came? i don't see people building half a home, if you can even call this a home, and then quitting in the middle of it to build another one."

"HELLO?!"

"the architecture is completely different from the rest of the kingdom too..."

"SMILEY!!"

"you swear you were here yesterday bro? the gases haven't reached this far yet?"

"*SNIIIFFF!* Yep. The sun place be dis way, but you gots to watch out for the traps, so follow the baby kay'?"

"I hate you, I hate you BOTH and once I find a new place to get some sun, I'm gonna live there for-EVER! I'M NEVER COMING BACK TO THAT NURSERY, DO YOU HERE ME? NEVER!!"

Ignoring Flowey, the brothers began their trek further into the Ruins. There were a lot more traps than Sans was expecting, but it only served to increase his excitement. More traps meant a higher chance of his younger sibling telling the truth, and these WERE traps. There were pits that led to small empty rooms that had no ladders to speak of, switches designed to confuse them hidden behind pillars in the dark, and there was even a room that couldn't be crossed from one side unless you had something of considerable weight on three buttons in the ground...unless of course you were tall. That was what disturbed Sans the most; the fact that the traps seemed to be for small creatures who couldn't step over the barricades. The further the three went, the more his excitement turned to fear as he realized the traps were NOT built by the monsters currently living in the Underground and they were clearly meant to cause suffering and eventual starvation.

This couldn't have been Asgore's work. I know he said he would gather souls from anyone who fell into the mountain, but these look like they were meant SPECIFICALLY for children...and I know he's a good person. Besides, so far I've only seen one door that leads to the Ruins and he can't fit through that tunnel, no way.

Who would BUILD things like this?

"these are horrible..."

"Hm? What are you complaining about?"

"the traps...you've been looking at the traps right flowey? they're different..."

"So? Who cares about these stupid traps, they're ruined anyway. SHE messed everything up. You're getting scared over nothing; whoever lived here before is long gone...probably."

Sans took a deep breath. Flowey was right, the traps had obviously been altered a long time ago and no one had come to fix them. The prison pits had been stripped of their doors and their floors laced with heaps of fallen leaves to break the fall of anyone who fell into them, having obviously been put there by someone seeing as the area lacked any trees. The switches built to confuse had been painted bright colors that could easily be seen, and even the room with the floor switches had been filled with rocks, one of which claimed had been placed there by someone they couldn't see due to their lack of eyes.

"UGH, are you KIDDING me? She put instructions on the freaking WALLS? That's so lame!"

"who's this 'she' you're talking about?"

Before the plant could answer, Papyrus lifted them all up with his wingdings and glided everyone, including himself, over the giant pit trap before suddenly speeding off into a room.

"HEY BRO, WAIT!"

"DID HE FIND IT? IS THIS THE ROOM?"

"*CRUNCH CRUNCH!*"

"..."

"hey uh, pap? you probably shouldn't eat that..."

"LOOK SNAS! Candy. *CRUNCH CRUNCH!*"

"..."

"...you okay flowey?"

"...Never coming back."

"Want some of dis candy Dirt-Bu-"

"NO!!"

They continued on, Papyrus's onesie crinkling with the rest of the monster candy having been stuffed inside.

"FINALLY! DO YOU SEE IT SMILEY? DO YOU SEE THE PROMISE LAND?" The plant pointed excitedly towards a sunlit patch of flowers. "IT'S THERE! IT'S RIGHT THERE! WE'RE SO CLOSE!"

"yep, iii see it. don't think we'll be able to actually see the sun though from all the way down here..."

"*Yawn* I's sweepy...I gets the shiny tomorrow, kay' Snas? Is nap time for the baby...c'mon Dirt-Butt, we go home now."

"NO! NO NO NO! DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T FREAKING TOUCH ME! I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, PUT THOSE AWAY! PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOOOOOWN!!"

"put him down bro, he can get back on his own, right flowey?"

"YES!!"

As soon as Papyrus desummoned his wingdings, Flowey took off with all the speed of a cheetah; racing for the sunlit patch that would be his new, and hopefully quiet, home, his leaves outstretched.

I'M GONNA MAKE IT!

I'M GONNA MAKE IT!

With one giant leap the tiny plant dived into the flower patch and dug his roots into the warm soil triumphantly. "LOOK SMILEY! I MADE IT!"

CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK!

"Don't patronize me you fat piece of-"

Sans stopped clapping. "what do you want from me?"

Ignoring the child, Flowey turned around and basked in the sun's warm glow, spreading his leaves wide in order to collect as much energy as possible. This place was perfect. Bright, quiet, and tidy; it had a great view of the opening to Mt. Ebott that only someone who could stretch out as long as Flowey could see. A wonderful little lookout where he could not only spy approaching humans, but maybe even lure them in...after all, it's not like sound couldn't pass through the barrier. All he had to do was find someone stupid.

Just one. Good. Idiot.

Heh heh heh heh...

"uhh...dude, are you alright?"

"Dirt-Butt got dat scary face big Buther..."

"HA HA HA HA HA HA ALL THE SOULS WILL BE MINE! I'LL LURE THEM ALL IN! HA HA HA HA HA!"

"o-kay...we're going on ahead. you catch up later alright?"

"NEVER COMING BACK! HA HA HA HA HA! UNSTOPPABLE! UNTOUCHABLE! UNDEFEATABLE! HA HA HA HA HA!"

"Nyeh...?"

"I'LL BE ALL POWERFUL! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"we're going now-"

"I'LL BE THE ULTIMATE RULER!"

"Bye Dirt-Butt!"

I'll be a GOD.
