Rattled bones pt1

Author's Note:

Hello everyone this is a bit of a small chapter here, it's more of a set up chapter if anything. Next chapter will be longer that this one, and it will be a bit dark.

Shout out to my editor Bryce98 for getting this done so quick.

So here I am with my hand out, watching as these horses… no they’re too small to be horses… these ponies to stop their giggling and groaning. The pink with the pink poofy man one was on the ground rolling around a laughing its little butt off. The orange one with the blonde mane had its stenson pulled over her face, but judging by the way it’s body was moving, it was also laughing at my great pun. The yellow one with the long light pink mane, even after my joke, looked wary of me, hiding behind the purple one that had it’s face glued to it’s hoof while groaning loudly. The white one with the purple mane just rolled it’s eyes and flipped it’s mane. The rainbow parade just gave me a deadpanned look.

The white one with the different colored mane though… it had the biggest smile on and was snickering in it’s hoof. After a little while it put its hoof down and made it’s way over to me with a much softer smile. It gripped my hand with its hoof (somehow) and shook it. “It’s nice to meet you Sans, I am Princess Celestia, the co-ruler of Equestria. Would you mind explaining what you are and how you got here? You gave us quite the surprise when we saw you.” she let go of my hand and backed up slightly.

“It’s nice to meet ya Princess. As for what I am,” I pull up my sleeve, showing the bones underneath, I smile and wink at her, “I’m a skeleton.” I put my sleeve back down and put my right hand in my pocket while rubbing my chest with my left. “As for how I got here...well I’m not sure on that one… actually I should be dead…” I cough and lean my head back with a frown. “Actually, *cough*, I still think I’m dying.” I rub my index finger along the fracture and I feel it cracking more. I smile and laugh, “Everything’s getting dark again…”

I feel someone run up to me and tried to keep me conscience, then Celestia yelled, “Twilight go get the medical staff and send them to my room! Fluttershy come with me I’m going to telepo-” and it all went black.


I’m waking up… I think? How am I still alive? I slowly open my eyes, pleasantly finding it dark, but bright enough see. Right now I’m laying in a pretty nice bed, looks king sized. The sheets feel like silk, and the cover is a quilt by the look of it. Has the same symbol as the one on Celesti- ugh that’s too long to say, even in my head. I’ll just call her “Tia”. Anyway, the same symbol as the one on Tia’s butt, or is it a flank when on an equine? Going to have to ask that later. I look at the rest of the room and find it all calm and soothing colors like soft pinks, gentle blues and creams, and some milk white here and there. The room wasn’t huge, but not as small as mine. But one thing it is though is messy. I mean, it looks like some tried to clean up in here, but papers are still scattered about, used towels are in a corner of the room, carelessly tossed in a hamper (some were on the floor by it.). The dresser in the room was most likely the only organized area. Different products and brushes organized and placed neatly in rows. I try to get up but the burning pain in my chest told me I was not allowed. I take a look down a find gauze wrapped around my breast bone and a few ribs. It looks like it’s wrapped up tight.

I hear a sound at the oak door of the room and redirect my gaze to it. It opens up with Tia and a brown horned pony with a white lab coat and one of those hearing do dads (never bothered to learn the name) around his neck. “Hey there, Princess, sorry if my voice is a little horse, I’ve just been through a painful ride lately.” I say while smiling at my pun, making both Tia and the doctor pony rush to me.

The doctor pony checks my vitals (good luck finding them) and Tia asked, “Sans, are you alright? How are you feeling?”

“Like my sternum’s cracked with a few broken ribs, oh wait…” I joke. She didn’t find it funny however.

“You almost died! This isn’t time for joking! You are a completely new species that I have never seen before who just appeared out of nowhere, now ARE. YOU. FEELING. OKAY?” she gives me a stern look like a mother lecturing her child. Reminds me of someone…

I lift my hand and put the tip of my index finger between her eyes and push her back slightly, “I’m fine Celly, I feel a lot better now. Do you have healing magic here? It sure feels like it.”

She gave me a slightly shocked look, “Yes, and what did you just call me?”

I put my hand back down and give her a questioning grin, “What, have a problem with nicknames, or are you just that ponypous about everything?” I had to hold in my laughter as to not hurt myself some more.

She sighed but smiled at my joke, “No, I’m just not used to somepony being so informal with me after we just met… it is quite pleasant, actually. So, Doctor Times, how is he doing?”

I redirect my attention to the brown pony next to me (his name is odd), “Well Princess he is doing well, another day with those enchanted bandages and he should be fully healed… well for being dead, but not… he is a strange one.” he gave a big smile, and I just noticed his right side of his head is slightly misshapen, and the same sides eye seems to be permanently half closed. He also doesn't have a mane.

She nodded her head, “Thank you, Doctor Times, that is all. You may return to your tests now, just don’t hurt yourself again, okay? I’d rather not lose the kingdom's best medical doctor and scientist.” she chided.

He just laughed and walked away, but before he left the room, he glanced at me, and from the light glare of what I presume to be magic on his horn, which was white, his left eye looked like it had a white pupil.

No… I’m making connections where they don’t exist.

Celly grabbed my attention again, “So I have many questions for you, and so do my fellow princesses, but I would rather have you at full health before they start to question you since they don’t really know how to… well… hold back.” she rubbed the back of her head with a blush. “So for now it will only be me and you. We can have a pleasant conversation, and ask each other questions over tea. Also as the co-ruler of Equestria I grant you permission to live in the castle for as long as you like.” she said… no recited in a formal tone.

I scratch my head and awkwardly smile, “Alright, but only if you drop that formality right here and now, ok? It brot… bothers me a little.” … Papyrus… “Hey Celly, could we have our little get together later, I’m feeling a little tired, you will come to learn I’m a lazy bone.” I give a weak smile.

She gives me a concerned look but decides to leave it alone, “Alright Sans, I will be back later tonight so we can talk, just get some rest.” she walks over to the door and opens it what I presume to be magic like the Docs. But right before she closed it she answered my request, “Also I’ll try and be less formal, but it will be a while. Old habits die hard, hehe.” she giggled before closing the door completely.

I close my eyes as to get some sleep, “Papyrus…”

Good 'ta see that your back in action, kinda had 'ta fill in your role for a while.

6680625 but... it's only been two weeks. I know that sounds long but when you have multiple things going on at once, aswell as organizing things for my other story, it is pretty short. I've also been organizing and polishing where this story is going to go. I would rather have quality over quantity. I also want this to be a deep story, like Undertale itself. That's why I also have huge gaps in my posts.

6680896 Dont worry bro, I'm here for ya :scootangel:

6665542 oh btw you... I love your comment, not for the song but for the clock, Ive used it on League of Legends constantly. Have a :moustache:

It gets a thumbs up in my book.

I see your funny bone showing

Good concept, but it's really rushed and has more than a few grammatical mistakes.

6686559 actually for what I have in mind, this is slow. I like long story's, and I hope to deliver such a story here. So strap in bud, for this is only the beginning of a long road trip.

6665542 Actually I like this comment so much, I would like to post it on my user page.

Holy shit... the Doc... is he actually Frisk?




... maybe not. :/

Pretty sure it was a Gaster reference actually.

6704168 Beware the man who speaks in hands.

6760424 Yes. Of course! It's Sans the "weakest" enemy!

6761767 I like this a lot I hope u update soon. also one question will we see anyone else from the game in this story like Papyrus or toriel? just wondering because I assume they also are dead.

6911883 well you have to kill papy to have sans fight you.. or did you have to kill them all?

6975246 he is the final boss in the genocide route, so... all of them?

6994406 I think it's all of them, cause after you kill him you destroy the planet.(and all tummies on it:raritydespair:)

I'm liking this so far! I'm looking forward to seeing more updates in the future!

Are you going to make more, cause this story is pretty good:pinkiehappy:

The pink with the pink poofy man one was on the ground rolling around a laughing its little butt off. The orange one with the blonde mane had its stenson pulled over her face, but judging by the way it’s body was moving,

*mane
*stetson
*its

I will wait for all eternity for the next chapter. Just make sure you aren't working yourself to the bone!

This badly needs MORE...and some little fixes here and there, but not too bad.

7432149 JUST UPDATE ALREADY

7432149 Is this story still alive or is it dead?

Hey guys, editor here.
The author hasn't contacted me about a new chapter for just under a year now. I think its safe to say that this story is dead.

7565836 I really hope that ain't true. Why does interesting concepts seem to fade faster then they come?

I would like to have a new chapter please.

7565836 NOOOOO
THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Has the story fallen down? Please no! Must stay Determined!

This story has been dead for as long as I can remember. I hope it spring back somehow.
