Chapter Text
The alarm went off at 6:30 am, its beeping echoing through the room. You roll over and turn it off, grumbling since you were woken from such a peaceful sleep. You paused momentarily trying to collect your thoughts. Suddenly you shot up in bed and reached over to look at the calendar, August 3rd. You jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Today was finally the day! It had already been three months since you were sacrif- er.... I mean volunteer for a exchange program to go to W.D Ground High. You come out of the bathroom and rummaged through your closet for your new uniform. It was quite plain, the colors only being black, white, and red. Quite the plain Jane uniform, but you slipped into it with pride. You walked down the stair to meet your monster mother. She was humming to herself as she finished putting the finishing touches on your breakfast. you were in a hurry so you wolfed down what was on the plate and grabbed what looked like an orange off the table. You waved good bye to your Monster mom before you headed out the door. The walk to school was uneventful. There seemed to be no one around, but you paid it no mind as you saw the front gates of the school. You noticed that there was still no one around, but you were too excited to care. You quickly grab a piece of paper from your backpack to see what class you were in. Class 1-3A, you smiled as you made your through the school and stopped just outside the class door. You took a deep breath before opening the door, you wanted to make a good first impression so you tried to act natural. Once the door opened, you noticed that it was relatively empty except for two people. You dropped your orange as you noticed that one person, who looked human like yourself, was laid out on the floor in a pool of Red.
"Oh...hello there"
You turn your head to the left and notice that there was a relatively large boy sitting in front of the body. The boy, well Skeleton to be exact, was covered in red splatters. He was so focused on the body in front of him that you weren't entirely sure he was talking to you.
"Is it that time of the year already? you must be new..."
The skeleton chuckled as what looked like orange tears started to form in his sockets. You were to scared to answer so you just looked at him. You could hear faint tapping noises coming from the skeletons lap.
"I guess you're wondering about this scene in front of you. I'm terrible sorry, but it's a long story."
You gulped and nervously walked over to the body on the floor. You noticed that there was numerous wounds on the body, some looking more awful than others. You also took notice to a strange heart shaped thing that was ripped in two on top of the shirt.
" If you don't mind listening......I'll tell you about it....."
You felt the hairs in the back of your neck stand up. You slowly turned to the skeleton as he smiled softly up at you, His eyes spoke nothing but despair as he began to retell the events that transpired over the span of a year.
"SANS!!!! TODAY IS THE DAY!!!"
Papyrus turned off his alarm as he jumped out of bed. He was super excited. It was finally August 3rd. He was waiting for this day since last summer. Today he began his new life as a freshman at W. D. Ground High School. Papyrus went to the bathroom to shower and brush his teeth. He couldn't wait to get school. He wondered if he was finally going to make any friends. Well he had one friend, but he hadn't seen her all summer. She probably went training in Hotland. Papyrus dried his face and went over to his closet. He frowned as he examined his closet.
"now where did I put them???....."
Papyrus started to rummage around his closet some but soon gave that up. He looked all over his room as panic started to set in.
"OH MY GOODNESS WHERE DID I PUT IT!?"
Papyrus lifted up his bed to see if it was under there then started to pull out all of the clothes in the drawer.
"What's with all the commotion bro?"
Sans leaned in the door way as he scratched his belly. He looked sleepily at his younger brother who was trashing the room. Papyrus whipped his head around to look at his brother, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. Sans eyes widened when he took notice.
"Woah, woah, woah. what's with the water works so early in the morning"
"SAAAAAAAAAAAANSSSS! I CAN'T FIND MY UNIFORM! IT'S MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND I'M GOING TO BE LATE BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND IT."
A small whimper left Papyrus mouth and Sans just sighed as he allowed his left eye to come to life. A few moments later a pair of black pants, white shirt, and red tie came floating into the room. Papyrus blinked away his tears as he saw them get laid on the bed.
"You left them on the couch last night Pap. I told you to - Hrk!!"
Papyrus tacked Sans to the floor in a hug. Overjoyed that his uniform was found.
"SANS YOU'RE THE BEST BROTHER EVER!!"
Sans laughed softly as he returned the embrace.
"Come now. Get dressed you don't want to be late now do you?"
Sans got up and yawned before walking over to the door.
"HEY YOU HAVE SCHOOL TODAY TOO SANS!! YOU CAN'T SKIP THE FIRST DAY JUST CAUSE YOU'RE A JUNIOR!"
"Yeah yeah, bro. I promise to make it to school on time today okay."
He closed the door and made his way down the stairs.
"Hmm he better."
Papyrus put on his uniform and took a minute to admire how handsome he looked in it before leaving his room. He made his was to the kitchen to notice that Sans was already at the table enjoying some left over Grillbys. He took out some left over some spaghetti out of the fridge and put it in his back pack.
"SANS, I WANT TO GET THERE EARLY SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE NOW OKAY?"
Papyrus put his backpack on and made his way to the door. He opened it and was about to walk out when he felt something wrap around his neck. He looked down to see that his favorite red scarf was encased in blue magic and wrapping itself around his neck. He smiled brightly as he looked back towards the kitchen.
"THANKS SANS!!"
