That night, you had the weirdest dream in your life.

And you've had some pretty odd dreams.

But this dream had to be the top one.

~<○●•°《purposeless words...》°•●○>~

It was you, but then again it wasn't you.

You were you, seeing as usual, but in someone elses body. You didn't really know who, because you couldn't nesscarly control your actions.

You were summoned up to The Castle, but sense you were way too lazy to walk, instead of walking you used a "short-cut", as you liked to call them.

You went to the nearest wall and walked through. On the incide, you were cringin, thinking you were gonna die. He wasn't. You walked through, and right nefire you hit contact with the wall it tore apart, leaving some kind of empty void in its place. You stepped in, and just started floating for a while, focused on your destination with your eyes tightly shut.

Opening your eyes, they were met with the throne room, along your brother beside the king of the monsters.

Except...

The person who you called "brother" couldn't be your brother. No, he was a skeleton. Tall, dressed some kind of armor, and in your mind pretty cool, he stood there, thrilled to see your arival.

"THERE YOU ARE, BROTHER! I HAVE ASIGNED YOU TO GO AND TRACK DOWN FRISK! YOU DO NOTHING ELSE, AND MAYBE NOW YOU'LL BE LESS OF A LAZY-BONES!!!" your brother said.

"wh-what? go up there? you're kidding right? he's kidding, right?" Came a deep, yet familiar voice that was not yours. Yet...

It was still you.

"No, he is being serious. I could not have thought of a better choice, for you are one of the strongest monsters we have down here. You are sure to bring back Frisk, I just know it." the king replied. And the king...

He was a kind of goat creature, a long cloak covering his body and a tiny crown carefully placed on his head.

Back to the dream...

You sighed. You really loved your brother, of course, but there were times that he could just be a little...

Irritating.
Just a little, though.

Nothertheless, you still loved him. You loved him more than anything else. He was your brother, after all.

If only Frisk hadn't chased after that dumb weed and left him to die up on the surface. He deserves it, anyway.

Now, you had to follow the wild goose chase.

Bearing in mind the legend.

~<○●•°《Le Time Skipu Brought to You by Unexpensive Fried Snow》°•●○>~

You woke up with a start. Scary or not, you let out a terrified scream. Just hearing your voice was soothing enough.

Sans jostled awake, jumping out of bed and summoning really scary looking skull-lazer-thingys and bones, his left eyesocket going black and the other glowing bright blue.

"WHERE IS HE!!! I SWEAR IF HE DID ANYTHIN-" He looked down, seeing a terrified (y/n). Calming himself, he sat down next to you, pulling you into a tight embrace. You hugged back, crying into his white shirt.

"hey, hey, it's alright. it's over now. it was all a dream..." He reassured you in a calming voice.

Sniffing, you let go of the hug.

"Th-thanks..."

"no problem. so, everything okay?"

"...yeah, I'm fine. Just had a weird dream."

"weird? sound more like a nightmare."

"Well, it kinda was. I dunno. I just wasn't... me. It's hard to explain..." you trailed off. Sans had obviously been worried about you, still probably right now. It was only fair if you told him about the dream.

"it's ok. take as long as you want."

"Alright..." you said, looking for words. "W-well, like I said, I wasn't myself. I was someone else. I don't really know who though... I do know that I had a brother. But he was a skeleton, so that makes no sense... anyway I summoned up to 'The Castle', but I regarded myslef as 'lazy', and did some kind of 'short-cut' thing. It was... interesting. Anyway I arrived at 'The Throne Room', to see my brother and the king of the monsters, as I called then. I then found out I was asigned to go and find someone named 'Frisk', and bring them back. There was also something about a legend, but I dunno."

"wow, sounds like a really descriptive dream. but, i think i know who you were..." Sans said.

"R-really? Who?"

"me." He stated sinply.

Shocked at the response, you turned pale.

"Y-you?"

"yep."

"Wow."

"yeah."

"How?"

"i'd like to ask you the same thing."

"Wh-what?" You turned even paler.

"look, (y/n), it's obvious you have powers. only people who have powers would be able to do something like that. and only magicians and monsters have powers, so..." He looked at you with a sinister expression.

"Wh...what are you trying to get at...?

"you're a magician, aren't you?"

"Wh-what? No, I don't even know what those are..."

"they're humans with powers. like you"

"Sans, I'm telling you, I'm not a magician."
As weird as it might sound, deep in your gut you knew you weren't a magician. It'd make sense, you didn't really know how you had your powers. Being a magician would explain it, but your gut had other opinions.

"ok then, fine. prove it to me."

"How?"

Without warning, everything around turned black and white.

And not like the motion pictures.

It made Sans look a little more... cartoonish. You assumed it did the same to you. Nothertheless, it still shocked you.

In front of you was some sort of white box. Incide, kept a heart. But it wasn't one that one would expect in a Valentine's Day card. Instead, it was a pretty (f/c) (not even gonna bother with this one...), your favorite color. In front of you were four options, FIGHT, ACT, ITEM, or SPARE. Another (f/c) heart at the moment was on SPARE. Above these was a similar box to the one that held the heart, but instead held words, saying "Sans approaches!"

"it's a beautiful day outsi-" Sans stopped, noticing the heart in the box.

"...you're not a magician. you're not a monster, either. then what are you...?"

"...what the heck is going on." Is all that you could say.

"oh! right now, we're in the middle of a fight. you can either spare me by pressing MERCY, use an ITEM by pressing ITEM, ACT, or FIGHT. The FIGHT option is off limits to you, alright? no pressing that no matter what. anyway, this should be good practice. go ahead and press ACT to try and spare me," Sans explained.

Still confused, you looked down and pressed the ACT, expecting your hand to go through. But it didn't. Instead, it had a three options. Check, Insult, and...

Flirt.

You started blushing furiously. "Uh, how do I know which one to press?"

"woa, buddy, ease it there with the blushing. anyway, just press the one that's the most positive."

Well, crap.

With a shaky hand, you pressed on the Flirt button.

Without warning, you had the sudden impulse to blurt a flirty pun about skeletons.

Which you did.

"Hey, you're a skeleton, and I have one in me. Say, sense we're so alike, why don't we make another?" you shouted. After hearing what you said, you stood still in shock and felt the heat rush up to your face. God damnitt the blush returns once again! The text in the box changed...

"You blurted out a flirty pun about skeletons.

Sans is obviously flustered with this."

"uhm, heh, no thanks, but, uhm, there wasn't, ya know, another option, right?" Sans said, blue blush painting his skull. As if last night wasn't enough...

"OH MY GOD WHAT DID I JUST SAY HOLY-WHAT DID I JUST DO! I SHOULD'VE JUST SPARED YOU OH GOD I'M AN IDIOT-"

"kid, calm down alright? i understand if that was the only option," Sans reassured you.

"It... it was," you responded, calming yourself down.

"b-but... just to be safe... i'll go ahead and spare you," He said. You nodded. Once again, and hopefully for the last time, the text in the box changed...

"Sans is sparing you."

You moved over to MERCY, pressed your hand on it, and once again pressed on Spare. The box changed for the absolute last time...

"YOU WON!
You earned 0 XP and 0 gold."

So basically nothing. You thought, frowning to yourself.

Before you could say "snails", the world went back to it's normal state.

Shocked, scared, confused, and many other emotions kept you motionless.

"...Sorry about that."

"it's alright. i understand."

"Well, I'm gonna get some breakfast. You want anything?"

"nah, i'm fine. technically speaking, i don't need to eat, so it's cool."

"Okay." you responded.

You went out of your bedroom and walked into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, you pulled out (f/s) (favorite soda). Using your powers, you changed the liquid into a solid, folded down the metal like a banana, and started eating. It tasted really good. You went back to your bedroom, seeing Sans looking around your room. He noticed you coming in, and stared at the soda. Shrugging, you sat down on the couch and continued to eat.

"how did you do that?"

"Oh? Well, I guess having vision-dreams aren't my only powers. I can change the state of any matter, along with changing it's form."

"...wow."

"Hey, don't be too shocked. It's not that big of a deal-"

"yeah, it really is." Sans cut you off, siting down next to you. "you could turn everyone into a gas. you could kill everyone and everything. that's a pretty strong power."

"I...I never thought of it like that."

"well, whatever you do, don't do that, ok?"

"Of course! I would never do that..."

Awkward silence.

"So, changing the subject..." you said, getting up from the couch. "If that dream I had truly was real, then you need to be on your way. You've got a freind to catch."

"oh, frisk? yeah, i guess i better be on my way then. thanks for letting me stay."

"Thank you for knocking on my back door like a creep and staying!"

"any time." Sans said, while walking out of the room. You followed him, as he walked towards the front door. He suddenly stopped. "actually... if you don't mind of course..."

"Yeah, what is it?"

"would you.... would you keep me company on the trip??? you could think of it more as and adventure if you wanted..."

You couldn't believe what you were hearing.

You used to have a pretty normal life, besides having powers and all the Seniors at school, but now...?

A skeleton was offering you the chance of a lifetime.

"(y-y/n)? you know, you really don't have to com-"

"Heck yeah I'm comin'!" you shouted, beyond excited at what he just asked you.

"really? you're sure? you're not just doing this for me, you actually want to come? it might be dangerous..."

"What!? Don't tell me that! Now I have to go!!! Adventure, danger, and looking for someone? What, is this a book!? I'm coming, and even if you change your mind, I'm still coming," you stated, excitement in your voice. Without letting Sans have another word in, you ran to your bedroom to start packing.

Once you got to your bedroom, you knelt down and started packing. You couldn't believe it. It was almost too good to be true. You moved your fingers to your arm, getting ready to pinch yourself. Stopping, you realized something.

No. you told yourself. This is real. Sans was real when I pinched myself. My powers were real when I pinched myself.
I'm sure this is real as well. Before you could bounce off the walls with glee, especially sense you just had finished packing (you didn't have that much), one word went through your brain. Well, rather, one name.

Bradley.

Sighing, you brought yourself up from your knees. As much as a pain Bradley was, he had always been there for you. Ever sense you could remember...

Shaking away the chance to have a flashback, you grabbed your bag and headed over to Bradley's room, so that you could leave a note saying that you would be gone. So that he wouldn't worry.

Opening the door, you went into Bradley's room only to see a sheet of paper on his bed. Picking it up, it said;

Dear (y/n),

I know that now is the time that you leave. I have seen it many times. With your departure must also come mine.

I also know that all of this must be very confusing to you, especially sense I do not speak in this manner. However...

I do feel obligated to explain to you some major details in your life that might feel like a hole.

I won't be able to fill all of them, but I shall have to try of my best.

First off, I have been asigned to you as a Guardian. Someone needed to protect you, and I just so happened to be that someone. Why would you need protection...?

Oh, (y/n). If only I could tell you...

But I have said, and done, all of my part.

For now.

And once again, for now, I am truly afraid that that is all that I am entitled to explain to you.

Please forgive me.

And please stay safe.

With Best Wishes and Love,
Your's Truly,

Bradley

...Guardian? You thought to yourself. What is that supposed to mean? All of this sounds a little weird... Eh, whatever. I'm sure this is a prank. He's probably in the closet, snickering right now.

You pulled up your bags and left the room.

Sans was waiting for you at the door.

"ya ready?" He asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be," you replied.

You always knew that adventures, while letting people explore the world, also let people explore themselves, too.

You secretly hoped and dreamed that you would find out more about yourself. There was so much you wanted, no, needed to know.

Little did you know how much you were going to learn about yourself.
