"If you don't stop here...." A certain, fully clothed skeleton began, his eyes closed. His grin as wide as ever, the jacketed fragment of a human body, Sans, opened his eyes to reveal an eye flashing yellow and blue in his left eye socket. The eye stared directly at the child in front of him. He had broken his promise to the lady behind the door, as he was now trying to kill the human.

"You're sure to have a bad time, you dirty brother killer...." He said, Grabbing a sharper bone off of the ground from one of his previous attacks, and using it as a knife. The human child deflected the bone with this knife, as he then thrusted it into San's body. A red, liquid substance started to spill out. As the human retracted the knife, her went for Sans's eye. Sans immediately knew that he was going to get the left eye, and moved, only to get a large crack on the top of his head. Suddenly, everything was still. The human, and Sans alike. Not one of them moved. After the seconds of silence, Sans chuckled, and tightened his grip on the sharp bone that he used as a knife.

"I told you that you would have a bad time...." He said, thrusting the bone into the child's body. More silence followed this, as Sans and the human were in two fatal positions. A knife stuck in Sans's head, and a bone thrusted into the human child's stomach. Sans closed his eyes, as he heard the sounds of dripping. As he opened his eyes, he saw a pool of crimson liquid that shone in the moonlight like rubies. Then the human let go of the knife, a tumbling backwards with a bone in their stomach. They fell to the ground, weak and defeated. They looked up, a look of hatred in their eye, as Sans walked up to the human. He grabbed the bone from their stomach, and slowly pulled it out. The human winced in pain.

"This is most likely what my bro felt.... I'll make you feel the same." He said, pulling it out slowly. The human shrieked, and it echoed to the ends of the castle. Sans, as he continued to pull the bone, as he realized something.

"My promise...." He said in a low voice. His eye sockets empty, he quickly pulled the bone out of the child's stomach. The human, now afraid, ran to a nearby wall, where they were trying to get the large door open.... To no prevail. They slid back down, holding their stomach in pain.

"I'm going to make this painless, due to the promise I made to the lady on the other side of the door..." He said thrusting the bone into the chest of the child. The child winced, and looked up to Sans. They looked up in horror of what the skeleton would do. Suddenly, Sans started to turn the bone, causing the human to shriek in pain. Their eyes started to roll behind their sockets, and their mouth foaming up. At the moment that Sans stopped, the human stopped screeching. When he pulled the bone out, the human started to shiver, until their head dropped. The human was dead. As Sans dropped the bone used to kill the human, and pulled the knife out of his head. A red, liquid substance sprayed out, leaving Sans a red, ketchupy mess. He chuckled, but breathed heavily at the same time. He looked to the bone in his hand, saddened by the death of his brother. His eyes disappeared from his sockets, his grin as wide as every, as he gripped the bone even tighter. He was alone in this world now. The human never spared a single monster.

"Oh really?" a voice said. Sans's eyes returned to their sockets, as he looked to see a little flower on the floor. It had a mischievous grin on its face.

"Oh, poor Sans. All alone in the world. But what if I told you... It wasn't the human's fault?" It said. Sans continued to stare at the flower. It had an evil look in it's eye. Suddenly, it's face changed, making it look completely evil.

"WHAT IF I TOLD YOU, THE HUMAN WAS INNOCENT?!" It said. Sans wanted to frown, but couldn't, due to his skeletal structure. He completely turned to the flower, his eyes bright blue.

"THE HUMAN WAS INNOCENT, SANS!!! SO INNOCENT IN FACT, THEY WOULDN'T EVEN HURT THE TINIEST OF FLIES!!!!!" The flower screeched, it's eyes bright red. Sans looked to the flower in horror of what it meant.

"How?" He simply asked. The flower cackled, and looked Sans in the eye. Small pellets surrounded him, as his sly smirk returned.

"When the human began his journey, I was the one to meet him first, not Toriel. I used these 'Friendliness Pellets' against them. But little did they know that I would have complete control over them when it penetrated their soul!" He said, cackling. Sans looked to the flower in horror. The flower returned to his sly smile, and continued to talk.

"Matter of fact, I still have control over them right now, even though you killed them." Sans looked to the flower, and immediately threw his bone at the wall. It pierced through the human's heart, and kept the human pinned to the wall. The flower chuckled.

"Don't worry. I'm not gonna use the human right now. I have to recharge my batteries too, Y'know? But before I go...." his eyes glew red, and Sans immediately knew what was next, due to his time-space powers. The flower's eyes grew bloody red as it started hideously cackling. This was it for Sans.

"I HEREBY BANISH YOU FROM THIS WORLD!!!!!!!" The flower's voice echoed, as Sans looked into a shining light. Suddenly, the light came towards him, and absorbed him into it. The last thing he heard was the echo of the flower's cackle, as he finally blacked out.


Sunset shuffled through the snow, walking away from the Sweet Shoppe, holding her magic notebook and hoping for the best. She confronted her 'friends', who still believed that she was the 'Anon-a-miss'. As she walked, she was deep in thought.

'Of course they wouldn't believe that I'm not her... They aren't my friends.... They're liars...' She thought in anger, as she continued shuffling.

"Even if they find out who it is, I don't want to be their friend!" Sunset yelled angrily into the sky. Nobody was around, and she sighed in exhaustion.

"I just wish I had a real friend. One who would believe and care for me..." She said, tearing up. Salty droplets started to fall from her eyes, and onto the notebook in her hand. She then looked at it, and her expression grew to anger. She started to run seeing a nearby alleyway. And in that alleyway was a dumpster. She looked at the leather cover of the book, and threw it down. She then proceeded to step on it angrily.

"Friendship was a lie!! I could've been much better off without ANYONE!!" She shouted as she grabbed the book, and threw it into the alley. It flew, and hit something. She then started to storm off, until she heard a strange voice.

"Ow! What the- Hey, looks like I have a new book! At least some form of- Where the hell am I?!" It shouted. She immediately froze when she heard the voice, because of fear. She turned around, and looked down the alley. When she looked in it, a figure stood up, and dusted itself off.

"Hmmm... That flower...." It sounded male. She stared at it more, until it looked in her direction. Then, as she stared, it chuckled.

"Why hello." The figure said. It started to walk towards her, and she grew more afraid. She couldn't help but stay still. As it continued to walk forward, she grew more and more afraid.

"Human." He said. She gulped, and closed her eyes in fear.

"Is this your book?" He asked. She opened her eyes in confusion. It wasn't some weird, perverted hobo? As it walked out of the shadows, it revealed itself to be a.... Skeleton?

"Hey, kid! I asked a question!" It said, snapping. She looked into his beady eyes. It's grin so wide, he started chuckling.

"Listen, I'm not in the mood right now to play silly games. I need to figure out how to get back to the underground, because Frisk isn't resetting." He said, closing his eyes. Sunset soon nodded, and stepped forward, dusting herself off.

"I'm so sorry. My name is Sunset Shimmer, and that was my book. It's just a piece of garbage now." She said, looking to the book in his hands. He touched the surface of it. It felt smooth.

"Does that mean I can keep it?" He asked. She shrugged her shoulders.

"All it has are some pointless friendship lessons. It isn't of any use to me, since I don't have any friends." His eyes closed, and he stood still. She stared at him, how still he was. When his eyes opened, the sockets were empty.

"I don't have any friends either...." He said, thinking of a certain human. She looked to him confused. Why would he have friends? He's a skeleton. He closed his eyes, and reopened them, revealing the small, white pupils.

"Oh sorry for my skull-king." He said, turning to the wall and winking for no reason as a rimshot played. Sunset immediately cringed.

"I'm Sans. Nice to meet ya." He said. As he held out his hand, he snorted.

"What, aren't you gonna shake my hand?" He asked. She quickly decided to reach for it, and gripped the hand. The edges felt hard and ridged, but the middle part felt like... Rubber? Suddenly, there was a farting noise, coming from inbetween the both of them. Sunset immediately blushed, as she didnt know who... Pooted.

"Heh.... The whoopie cushion in the hand trick. Never gets old...." He said, closing his eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief, as she released the grip on his hand.

"Well, do you know any place to stay around here? I just am in need of ANYTHING right now. Even a homeless shelter, so if you could point me in the direction of one, then that would be great." He said, closing his eyes. Sunset nodded, and pointed to the left of the alleyway. "

If you go left, then you'll see a hospital. On the other side is a homeless shelter." She said, Sans nodding.

"Thanks. I have a feeling I'll see you around sometime. Oh, and thanks for the book." He said, as he walked out of the alley and towards the hospital. She immediately realized her mistake, and facepalmed.

"Dammit, there's no way they'll accept him into the shelter! They'll probably just throw him out... What can I do?" She said, thinking. Then, she realized it.

"Oh yeah... I can just take him to my house and let him use the guest room." She said. She quickly ran out of the alley, and saw Sans not too far away.

"Hey! Wait a second!" She yelled. Sans immediately stopped, and turned around. She looked to the nearby Sweete Shoppe, seeing her former friends in the window, enjoying hot cocoa with each other. She knew what she must do.

"I have a guest bedroom. Would you like to stay there with me?" She asked. He continued to look at her, although he heard her clearly.

"I don't want to be a trouble. I'll be fine." He said, as he started to continue walking.

"I-It's okay. You seem like a kind person. It's the least I can do, let you stay for one night." She said, as he continued to stare back at her. He chuckled softly.

"I guess so..." He said, completely turning around to walk towards Sunset. She nodded.

"Just follow me, and we'll be there soon." She said, looking down to the little skeleton guy. His grin was still the widest she had ever saw. Even wider than Pinkie's.

"Hey, thanks. I'm not sure they would accept a skeleton like me into a human world like this." He said. She looked down to him, smiling.

"No problem, Sans."


"Do you think that we made a mistake girls? I mean, shouldn't we have just at least heard her out?" Fluttershy asked at the table. The girls all looked to Fluttershy.

"What do ya mean? That secret stealer? There is NO WAY I'm ever talkin' to her again!" Applejack said, looking to everyone else. They all stared to Applejack, and back to Fluttershy.

"I mean, we could've heard her out, right darling? We really didn't have to just reject her like that. Right?" Rarity said with a worried tone in her voice. Rainbow Dash shook her head, chuckling.

"I can't believe that YOU GUYS believe that she's innocent. The photos were taken on HER PHONE! She confirmed that nobody stole it, so it HAS to be her! She's a dirty secret stealer, and we should know it!" Rainbow yelled, catching the attention of everyone in the Sweete Shop. She immediately sat back down, and took a sip of her hot cocoa. Everyone resumed with what they were doing in the shop as Fluttershy spoke.

"Well, even if it was her, shouldn't we give her a second chance?" She asked. Applejack sighed.

"She's has too many second chances, Sugarcube! We're gonna have to let her go!" She said, as they heard the door to the Sweete Shop open. They looked back seeing the crusaders.

"Applebloom! Sweetie Belle! Scootaloo!" Applejack said, looking to the girls, smiling. She stood up, and walked toward the three.

"Care to join us for some hot cocoa?" She asked. The three had guilty looks on their faces.

"Listen, sis. That's not why we came here. We're gonna shed some light on this Anon-a-miss thing." She said. Applejack smiled.

"So, you finally have some legitimate proof that it was that back-stabbin' Sunset?" She asked, anger in her voice. The three girls shook their heads.

"It's about time we told the truth." She said sighing. Applejack looked back to the five girls sitting at the table.

"Sunset isn't Anon-a-miss." Applebloom began. Their heads lowered, as they told the truth in unison.

"We are." She said, leaving a shocked Applejack.
