TODAY WAS AN EXCITING DAY!

TO BE FAIR, EVERYDAY IS AN EXCITING DAY WHEN YOU'RE THE GREAT PAPYRUS, BUT THAT DIDN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT TODAY WAS GOING TO BE EXCEPTIONALLY EXCITING!

BECAUSE ME, SANS, AND THE REST OF THE GANG WERE GOING TO THE MONSTER VILLAGE!

THERE WAS A PLAY STARRING METTATON THAT I WAS DYING TO SEE! WELL, I HAD SEEN IT A COUPLE TIMES (OKAY MAYBE A LOT OF TIMES) BEFORE, BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS ENJOYABLE!

PLUS, THROUGH MUCH BEGGING AND PLEADING, I GOT SANS AND THE REST OF THE GANG TO COME AND WATCH IT WITH ME! THIS WAS BLUE AND ORANGE'S FIRST TIME SEEING IT, BECAUSE THEY USUALLY GO SEE THEIR NAPSTABLOOK INSTEAD, AS WELL AS BLACK AND RED'S, BUT THEY JUST DON'T GO TO SEE ANYTHING.

I ASKED SANS IF MS. Y/N COULD GO, BUT HE SAID THAT SHE WAS TOO BUSY.

OH WELL!

I GATHERED MY THINGS, PREPARING FOR THE DAY OUT. OF COURSE, SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME IS ALWAYS PREPARED FOR ANY SITUATION. BUT AS I WAS PREPARING, I REMEMBERED THAT SANS PROBABLY WASN'T EVEN READY YET! THAT LAZY BONES...

I STOMPED (ELEGANTLY OF COURSE!) TO SANS ROOM, BEFORE KNOCKING ON HIS DOOR.

"SANS!"

WHEN I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING, I SLAMMED OPEN THE DOOR. "SANS!"

TO NOBODIES SHOCK, HE WAS SNOOZING AWAY, HEAD ON HIS DESK.

I NUDGED HIM, AND HE SLOWLY WOKE UP. "'sup bro."

"SANS! WE HAVE THE PLAY IN TEN MINUTES!"

"oh right." SANS LOOKED AROUND, BRUSHED OFF HIS JACKET LAZILY, AND GRINNED. "ready."

"UUUGGHH!" I GROANED. "DID YOU EVEN EAT YET?! I'LL GO GET MS. Y/N TO MAKE YOU SOMETHING!" WHAT WOULD HE DO WITHOUT SUCH A COOL BROTHER LIKE ME LOOKING AFTER HIM?

SANS LOOKED UP, SOMETHING CATCHING HIS ATTENTION. "oh, sure. thanks, bro."

"OF COURSE, BROTHER! AND YOU HAVE TO EAT THE BANANA THIS TIME!" I POINTED AT HIM TO EMPHASIS MY POINT.

SANS PUT HIS HANDS UP IN SURRENDER, "whatever you say, bro."

"NYEHEHEH!" I SAID, SATISFIED WITH MY MASTER ABILITIES OF PERSUASION!

I STOMPED OUT (STILL WITH ELEGANCE) AND QUICKLY WENT DOWN THE STEPS, CALLING FOR MS. Y/N. "MS. Y/N! MS. Y/N!!"

I HEARD THE SMALL PITTER PATTER OF HUMAN FEET BEFORE MS. Y/N CAME INTO VIEW. SHE CURTSIED AND SAID, "Yes, Master Papyrus?"

"MS. Y/N!" I PROCLAIMED, "COULD YOU MAKE SANS A QUICK LUNCH BEFORE WE HAVE TO LEAVE? HE'S ALWAYS SKIPPING OUT ON MEALS, OTHER THAN WHEN HE GOES TO GRILLBY." I SHIVERED. GRILLBY'S WAS GREASY!

SHE LAUGHED, THOUGH I COULDN'T IMAGINE WHY, BEFORE SHE SAID, "Of course, Master."

I SMILED, "OH, AND MAKE SURE HE GETS A BANANA WITH IT! POTASSIUM IS VERY IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW?"

"Of course, Master. Would you like me to put it in a bag so he can take it with him?" SHE ASKED.

"YES! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!" I WAS SURPRISED THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT, MYSELF! "THANK YOU, MS. Y/N!"

"Of course, Master." SHE SAID THAT A LOT.

SHE TURNED TO GO MAKE SANS HIS LUNCH, AND I RAN BACK UP THE STAIRS TO GO MEET BLUE AND ORANGE.

"BLUEBERRY! ORANGE! ARE YOU READY!" I WALKED IN ON BLUE LECTURING ORANGE ON SOMETHING, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH CONTEXT CLUES TO KNOW WHAT ABOUT. MAYBE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PACK OF CIGARETTES BLUE WAS WAVING AROUND...
