//------------------------------// // Meeting Sans (Unedited) // Story: Dashtale // by Ghostaloo //------------------------------// Sans stood outside the door waiting. He sighed. The last RESET was terrible, it took a lot out of him to try and stop Chara. But in the end he died. He just hoped that Frisk was able to fight off Chara and start a pacifist run. Speaking of Frisk, where is she? Shouldn't she be out of there by now? Suddenly the door creaked open, a little head peaked out. Instead of Frisk, he was staring at a rainbow maned pony wearing a red and pink sweater. She looked at Sans with a mix of shock and fear. What. The. Hell. One hour ago Rainbow squealed in happiness as she threw leafs into the air and ran around in circles. She was playing outside the house with Toriel. Ughhh, your high pitch squealing is giving me a headache. Lighten up, will ya? It’s fun time! Suddenly, Toriel walked over to Rainbow and rubbed her head softly. “It's time to head back inside, little one. I need to run a few errands.” Rainbow groaned, but got out of the leafs and headed back inside. Once they were inside, Rainbow turned to Toriel and started playing with her sweater nervously. “Where are you going?” “I’m heading to Waterfall. I need to get some more snails for the pie I’m making. I also need to pick up some more yarn from a friend.” Seeing Rainbow’s worried face, she added, “Do not worry, my child. I’ll be back in a few hours.” “Can I come with you?” Rainbow asked. Suddenly, Toriel looked very nervous, much to the fillies confusion. “I’m sorry, my child, you can not. It's very dangerous for you outside the Ruins. As a pony living in the underground, monsters may attack you. There also… someone else who would want you...” Toriel’s eyes become glassy. “Okay,” Rainbow sighed. Toriel snapped out of whatever fluke she was in and smiled at the filly. “Be good~!” And with that, she disappeared from sight down the stairs. Rainbow stood there staring at the stairs for a bit before she headed toward to living room and sat in front of the fireplace. Well this sucks. Tell me about it. Well- I didn't mean that literally! Rainbow snorted before noticing that she was thirsty. She got up and headed to the kitchen and pulled out a cup and got some water. While she was drinking, her eye gazed at the fridge. Wouldn't hurt to look right? She put the cup away and opened up the fridge. There was a tin of pie, some bottles of water, and… and…… Oh my God, is that chocolate?! What only could be described as a powerful force plowing her over, Rainbow found herself thrust in the back of her mind for the first time as Chara took control. Unknown to both of them, their eyes started to glow red. What the heck? Why can’t I feel my hooves? Hey, what's going on! Chara grabbed to chocolate bar and fumbed with the warper for a bit before she managed to get it open. Chara licked her lips and stuffed the chocolate in her mouth. She groaned at the smooth, rich taste of the sugary sweet. “Oh lord, I haven’t had this in so long! Its sooo good~!” Chara felt Rainbow shiver at the sound of their voice. It sounded like Rainbow's, but yet not. It was much more dark and echoey. It was kinda creepy. Okay you had your fun, give me my body back now. “Yes, yes of course.” Chara handed control back to Rainbow. The blue pegasus stumbled over their hooves before finally catching herself. “Please give me a little warning next time you do that. That did not feel good, not good at all.” Rainbow growled. Ooh, feisty! I like it! Rainbow took a deep breath and let it out. 20 minutes later they were sitting in front of the fire, batting a ball back and forth. Rainbow leaned back and sighed. “I’m bored,” She mumbled. Me too. Hey, how bout we explore downstairs? “Can’t. Mom forbid it, remember?” What are you, chicken? Rainbow felt her fur bristle. “Who you calling chicken?” You. “I ain't no chicken, and I’m going to show you too! I’m going to go down those stairs and show you I’m not one!” Rainbow got up and left the living room and went down the stairs. It was really dark. “Your a bad influence on me, you know that right?” She could see Chara grin in her mind's eye. Yup. Eventually they came across a large door that looked very old and worn down. Rainbow didn't know what to do, so she put a hoof on it. “Should we open it?” She asked. Chara was quiet for a moment but eventually spoke up. She sounded very determined. Yeah, lets do it! Rainbow nodded and pushed on the door, only to find that it was stuck. Rainbow grunted. She was determined to get it open, so she pushed even harder. There's was a loud creak and a blast of cold air as she finally got it open. The filly grinned with satisfaction. Go on, look outside! Trust me you’ll like it! Dashie blinked in confusion but stuck her head outside anyway. What she saw nearly made her fall over. Standing in front of her was a smiling skeleton wearing a blue hoodie, black shorts, and slippers. Oh shit, it's Sans! Who? They guy in front of you! Quickly, get back inside! Rainbow swiftly shut the door. Once it was shut, she leaned against the door and tried to calm her racing heart. After a minute there was a knocking at the door. Don’t answer! “Who’s t-there?” She sqweaked. Damnit Rainbow! “Sans, Sans the Skeleton.” He said “You don’t have to be afraid kid, I’m not going to hurt ya.” “Promise?” Sans was silent for a moment before Rainbow heard a sigh. “Promise.” Dash stood there for a moment before she decided to open the door again. She peeked around the corner and stared at Sans. “Hey kid, what do you call a horse that lives next door?” He said, trying to break the ice. “I don’t know.” Rainbow shrugged. “A neighbour.” Rainbow cracked a grin and started giggling. It was so stupid that it was funny. “So your a pony, that's hilarious. I wasn't expecting to see a pony stick their head outside today.” Sans said while sticking his bony hands in the pockets of his hoodie. “I’m sorry, were you expecting somepony else?” Rainbow tilted her head to its side. “Actually, I was.” “Who? Was it mom?” The pun loving skeleton gave her a weird look. “Who’s your mom?” He asked. “Toriel,” she said simply. Speaking of Torel, the filly could see the goat monster approaching quickly with three bags in her paws. When Toriel got to her she dropped to bags and scoped Rainbow up in the arms. “My child, what are you doing out here?!” “I’m sorry mom, I got bored so I decided to explore. I’m sorry.” She whimpered. The loving goat monster sighed and turned and looked at Sans “If you hurt her in any way, so help me...” She growled, pulling Rainbow closer to her body. “I’m okay mom, he promised not to hurt me. He’s actually rather nice!” She smiled. “The kids right, I wouldn't hurt a fly,” he said while shrugging his shoulders. That's a lie. Rainbow felt a little worried when Chara said that, but she ignored it. She turned her attention back to Toriel who was looking at Sans with new found respect. “How 'bout you come in, we can discuss this further over some tea.”
