As Sans walked on, he decided to play tour guide a bit for Woona. "up to the north there is the river," he explained, pointing. "a fishy guy went up there looking to find a girlfriend."
"How's it going for him?" Woona asked curiously, glancing around at the environment, the evergreen trees covered in snow.
"no bites yet," Sans replied, shrugging his shoulders. "all the fish left the sea a while ago."
"Poor guy," Woona sighed. "What's that box?"
"that's the dimensional box," Sans explained. "you can put anything you want into it, and take it out later wherever the box shows up. good for hanging onto any item you don't want to accidentally use."
"I see..." Woona murmured. "How much can it hold?"
"take a look," Sans offered.
Climbing down to Sans' hands, Woona opened the box with her magic. "Only ten items? Hmm...oh, there's a glove inside!" Levitating it out, she looked it over. "Nice and tough, too. But...it's for hands, not hooves..."
"keep it anyway," Sans offered. "if nothing else, you can sell it later to the temmies."
Shrugging, Woona put the Tough Glove into a pouch in her saddlebags. "Where to next?"
"east," Sans directed, putting her back on his head to continue on, only to stop as FIGHT lines appeared. A monster resembling a blue chicken wearing a snowflake mask appeared.
"hey snowdrake," sans greeted readily. "did you want to fight me?"
"A new audience member!" Snowdrake proclaimed eagerly, eyes locked on Woona. "Time to practice my comedy!"
"I like jokes!" Woona proclaimed eagerly, eyes forward to listen.
Snowdrake cleared his throat, magic swirls spiraling out towards Woona. Sans readily deflected each one. Snowdrake then spoke up. "Ice puns are 'snow' problem!"
Woona giggled happily.
"See! You laughed!" Snowdrake crowed happily as the FIGHT lines vanished. "Dad was wrong! I can be a good comedian!"
"Never give up on your dreams!" Woona encouraged.
With a wide grin, Snowdrake bounded off, leaving behind 12 gold for her, which she levitated into her gold pouch.
"you're pretty good at this befriending thing," Sans commented happily.
"Thanks for protecting me from his accidental magic discharge," Woona replied, nuzzling Sans' cheekbone. "In all this snow, I'd have had a hard time dodging."
"snow problem, woona," Sans joked, making them both giggle.
As they continued east, Papyrus came rushing back up to them. "SANS!!!" he shouted out as he raced up. "PUT THE PONY DOWN!"
"why?" Sans complained. "i like my new hat." Woona giggled at being called a hat.
"BUT NO ONE WILL BELIEVE I CAPTURED A HUMAN IF YOU'RE CARRYING THEM ALL OVER SNOWDIN! THEY'LL THINK SHE'S YOUR CAPTURE!"
"but she can't even walk through the snow on her own," Sans pointed out. "she won't be able to dodge magic if someone attacks her. she'll be all but helpless!"
"COME NOW, SANS! YOU'RE EXAGGERATING!" Papyrus scolded. "SHE CAN'T POSSIBLY BE AS WEAK AS YOU, AND YOU MANAGE JUST FINE!"
"look at her stats if you don't believe me," Sans instructed.
Papyrus gasped out in shock, plainly appalled. "BUT IT WOULD BE SO RUDE TO LOOK AT A LADY'S STATS WITHOUT HER PERMISSION! WHAT KIND OF SKELETON DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?"
"The gutless kind?" Woona offered, grinning impishly.
"SANSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Papyrus screamed out angrily as Sans guffawed, going so far as to bump his fist against Woona's hoof. "WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING HER?"
"I learned jokes from Mommy!" Woona proclaimed. "But you can look at my stats if you want, Pappy."
Papyrus blinked, rubbing the back of his head, plainly flustered. "WELL...ALRIGHT. LET'S SEE... ... ..." He stared at her in disbelief. "NEGATIVE 12 ATTACK? NEGATIVE 12 BASE DEFENSE, WITH ONLY PLUS FOUR FROM THE HAT AND RIBBON? HOW? ...WELL, AT LEAST YOUR SPEED AND INVIS ARE PRETTY HIGH...BUT SUCH A BIG PENALTY FROM SNOW? OH, YOU POOR THING! ...WHAT IS MAG?"
"i think it's the strength of her magic," Sans explained. "which is a lot stronger than her body."
"AT A BASE OF 50, I WOULD HOPE SO!"(1) Papyrus proclaimed. "HMM...YOU ARE RIGHT, SANS! SHE CAN NOT WANDER AROUND SNOWDIN LIKE THIS. HMM...I'VE GOT IT!" Reaching into his armor, he pulled out a pair of small boots. "SNOWBOOTS! PERFECT SIZE FOR HER!" Eagerly, he slipped them onto Woona's back hooves.
Woona equipped Snow Shoes
Slightly decreases SPEED and INVIS, but snow more movement penalty.
Looks adorable, too!
Woona giggled at the description of the Snow Shoes, but frowned as she hopped down. "Does this mean...no more horsey rides?" she asked, looking up at Sans with an adorable pout.
"i'll carry you around all you want once papyrus captures you," Sans promised.
"AND SO SHALL I, TINY HUMAN WHO IS SURELY NOT A PONY IN DISGUISE!" Papyrus proclaimed happily.
Woona smiled widely. "Thank you both!" she squealed happily, climbing up each to give them both a kiss on the cheek. She giggled happily as both dashed off in embarrassment.
I thought they'd never leave, Chara groaned.
I like them, Woona pouted. Why don't you?
Don't believe a word Papyrus says about how weak Sans is, Chara muttered. He's...unique among monsters. He has an almost...human capacity to handle Determination. He's normally nothing to worry about...but when he's pushed to the breaking point, he WILL give you a bad time.
Well, I don't intend to push him, Woona countered snippily. And what's wrong with Pappy?
Why does he have to shout everything? Chara groaned.
Giggling, Woona started to follow the path, only to encounter another FIGHT. The monster that appeared was tiny, with little hands and feet, but wearing a massive icy hat. The name above its health proclaimed it an Ice Cap.
He seems pretty proud of his hat, Chara indicated.
And why shouldn't he be? Woona asked, swapping her hat for the Ice Cap's. It's awesome!
"Wow, my hat looks even better on you," the Ice Cap murmured. "How can I make it look that good? Do...do I just need a better hat?"
Woona started to respond, only for the hat to melt all over her. Without ice magic of her own, she couldn't make it keep its shape.
"...then again, you look really great like this, too!" the Ice Cap replied happily. Drawing forth his magic, he pulled the water off of Woona to reshape his hat, giving hers back. "Maybe I just need to figure out who I am outside my hat?"
"Other than my friend?" Woona offered, hugging the monster.
The Ice Cap smiled as the FIGHT lines disappeared. "Yeah," he murmured, returning the hug. "That's good too."
Collecting the gold the Ice Cap left behind as he left, Woona continued onward. Seeing a sentry station, she walked up to it...only for another monster shaped like a bipedal dog to pop up, holding two swords close while...smoking a dog biscuit? "Did something move?" the monster demanded. "I can only see movement."
Woona held perfectly still. Eventually, the monster turned around, searching for the movement...and on an impish notion, Woona levitated herself up and pet him on the head.
"What?" the monster demanded, freaked out. "I've been pet by something that isn't there? ...I need to lie down..."
As the monster lay down in his sentry station, Woona raced ahead, stifling a giggle.
Moving on, Woona found Sans waiting for her. "hey," he greeted. "do you know how certain special attacks work? cause my brother has one."
Woona yawned. "I'm tired," she murmured, curling up at his feet. "Don' wanna move."
Sans giggled. "yup, you got it." Seeing she'd slipped fully into unconsciousness, he scooped her up. Taking a seat, he tucked her into his jacket to keep her warm.
The loving embrace filled the sleeping Woona with DETERMINATION.
(1) For those who don't know, at LV 20 - the max LV in the game - your base ATK is only 48. Meaning Woona's magic at full blast is stronger than endgame genocide route physical attacks.
Oh my... The magic is stronger than the knife!
Quit horsing around on the titles.
...and this is at LV: 1/2?!? That is insane.
Well that sure is interesting.
Pacifist run only. Pacifist run only.

If Chara ever makes little Woona try to FIGHT anyone...
Whew.
Get rekt on.
How odd.... Reading Sans' lines, I hear both the deep beeping noise it makes when it comes up, and Jacksepticeye's voice for him. I like it!
6876086 i think you mean hehr. I think chara is a girl.
Now Woona, don't pet that dog TOO long! If you do, he'll go where no dog has gone before.
...How does Chara know how strong Sans is?
6876075 I think there should be an alternate ending where Woona did the genocide run. Or at least, she gets a vision if Woona did the opposite and kills everymonster. (she turns into Nightmare Moon)
6876125 Yeah... FUck no. Sorry.
6876149 just an idea. Though, I got a good feeling that, at the end, Woona has grown up to be Princess Luna, and though everypony still sleeps through her night, the monsters are nocturnal, keeping Luna happy every night, as they see her as a friend and Vice-Versa. Plus, not only will there be no Nightmare Moon, but no tantibus (or, at least, no self punish) and she may get away with being somewhat more childish when entering anyone else's dreams.
I caught Scootaloo swearing. She got in trouble for using FOWL language!
I want to see Woona challenge Sans to a bad time.
*puts on an Ozzy Ozborne voice* I'M COMING OF THE RAILS ON FEELINGS TRAIN!
6876242 That is a great id-- *sees pun* Ahh kill it with fire.
she couldn't make it keep it's shape
1. Its.
Least the Snowdrake didn't get... The cold shoulder.
Probably a good thing that the Snowdrake didn't let his jokes... Dragon too long.
Ice Cap was a pretty chill monster it seems.
If I didn't know any better, Ice Cap was trying to pull off... A hat trick.
Poor sentry... He must be dog gone confused at what Woona did.
Another enjoyable chapter. Good job.
6876277 Many ponies look up to my sister. She's that bright!
Don't have a conversation with Discord, his topics are random.
I saw Big Mac chat with Cheese Sandwich! If they loved each other, they'd be Mac & Cheese!
Diamond Tiara has a soft spot. She's just a bit rough.
6876316 Please no more, these puns are unbearable
6876125 Nightmare Moon has already been separated and raised by Wreck-It Ralph, so Woona can't go bad here.
6876322 I had a chat with a certain Centaur. He got TEA-REKT!!!
I asked a time traveller if he had the time. He replied with "All of the time in the world"!
I meet my biggest fan in the world; He was a pipsqueak!
Fluttershy made herself a hippy friend! She was a real Treehugger!
HOLY SHIT ON A STICK!!!
Well she is not resisting a-rrest.
6876355
It's completely up to the author if he wants to do it.
Oh gosh, my sides. This is meeting all of my- no... I mustn't.
What's this? Character exploration? THIS IS MEETING ALL OF MY STANDARDS! But I don't know, even when he isn't trying, just take a look at this diabolical puzzle Sans concocted.
vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/undertale/images/0/0a/Asd.png/revision/latest?cb=20151014223140
I'll give you some time to figure it out... OK, that's enough time.
The first column of words refer to the seasons, but also the topography of some of the locations: The Ruins have fallen leaves (Fall), Snowdin has a bunch of snow (Winter), Waterfall has a marsh with flowers everywhere (Spring), and Hotland is... hot (Summer). The second column refers to a Monster (Toriel), Skeletons (Sans and Papyrus), a Mermaid (Undyne), and a robot (Mettaton). Then, the last column has the phrase "giasfclfebrehber", which would make you THINK it's just the first line of the word search... but the first line is actually "giasfclfUbrehber", not "giasfclfEbrehber". Do you KNOW what this MEANS?! If it wasn't for the fact that Papyrus says that the puzzle didn't stop Frisk from progressing, you would've been trapped in that room forever, unable to continue, all because one monster was smart enough to make a puzzle that literally had no answer! In essence, y o u ' d b e d e a d w h e r e y o u s t a n d... Oh, and there's also this fan-made fight.
TRULY the most terrifying of monsters.
6876292 In response to all those puns:

6876360 Please no more I can't take it, I submit to you and your puniness.
SNOW MORE PUNS! *Looks at comment* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
*reads the title* Oh... I get it now. I'm not so sure Pap's gonna be able to handle all these puns.
6876458 The yaks wanted to Smash. I told them "Chill out".
I saw Cadence and Coloratura together; they're quite the musical ones!
The Tantibus is on the loose? What a nightmare!
I saw Shining Armor. The stallion, though he was in it.
Chrysaliss defeated by love? I... I got nothing. That's the true definition of Ironic.
It's like, Woona pets lesser dog, and his head shoots up into the sky, then it comes shooting down right next to her and buries itself in the snow. It later shows up in the Authors' notes, out of fricking nowhere.
FTR, if you steal an IceCap's hat in game, the hat will melt, and the capless Icecap will actually destabilize and transform into a nonsentient ice cube.
Also, just curious, will the G-man make a cameo?
*reads the story* HRGH!! *thump*
*gets up and reads the comments* ....
*facewallfacewallfacewall*... ow
The puns! They're everywhere!!!
Oh Celestia, I just got the chapter pun...
You seam to be great at puns, keep it up!
6876501 chill out.
Ha! That was hilarious and adorable at the same time!

Sans and Woona are just too cute together.
6876068 Alacorn magic ain't no joke.
6876065
No, the knife kicks a lv 20 genocide run human up to atk 99. But in terms of base strength Woona at lv 1/2 has a stronger mag stat than the base atk of a lv 20 human. That's OP as crap.
6876292
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!
i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/046/670/0bb.png
What? No stick play? And...are you going to 'pet' abuse the lesser dog?
6876097 You're not wrong, but it could be either. Chara's and the PC's gender are left up to player interpretation.
6877085 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS.....
6877470 Good point.
6876242 Pfft. There's no need to have a... FLIGHT about that.
6876101 From the description I'm pretty sure that was Doggo, not lesser dog.
6877692
You need to put that like this for this story.
