It was raining somewhere else
You wake up, a bit shaken from what seemed to be a weirdly vivid dream, though you soon realize that you are on your room in the middle of the night, walls filled with memories, photos of you and your friends through the years, little details of your life up until now.
then you feel a cold breeze, the window is half open and it's raining outside.
you remain in thought, sitting on your bed for a bit… thinking on what you just witnessed on that dream, on that world and what it meant.
you then get up, get a sweater and walk down the stairs, pass through the kitchen, living room and then to the door, it's really so similar to what they had and yet, so different.
you pick your red umbrella and go outside.
the streets are empty, is still raining but very lightly, you can see some clear spots in the sky where the moonlight shines trough and you can feel the wind picking up a bit, it's an unique and eerie feel, yet comforting.
walking a few streets down and turning to the left; a familiar route that you know by second nature, suddenly someone greets you:
"hey! look who's walking around!"
that voice is from your old friend; sans, standing outside his house's doorframe, you raise your umbrella and turn towards him… in silence…
he then says, noticing your concerned face:
"so, what are you doing up so late?…
looks like there's something you wanna tell me."
you know exactly what to say, you are sure that once you say this he'll understand what's up with you, or he'll make fun of you:
"I'm…. the legendary fartmaster…"
He seems a little shocked at first, then nods in understanding.
"hah! wow…
it's been... a long time since I last heard you say that, huh?
about 10 years actually…
y'know? i'm not actually sure why i gave you that codeword, i guess at the time i wanted to know if you were that person,
i knew you'd snoop around and find your way to the workshop at the back, but looks like you were still pretty clueless after that"
it stopped raining, so you put away your umbrella and walk closer to sans and say:
"maybe you just wanted to say hi to an old friend"
he replies:
"an old friend who didn't know yet that they were my old friend, crazy how time travel stuff works, huh?"
you two laugh for a bit, you think of the time you answered -it's great to see you again!- while on Kris' body, even though to Sans you must have been a total stranger in at least 2 ways; both as kris and as the soul, it really is a little similar.
though, a sad though invades your mind:
"is… is there really no way I can save you both?"
Sans looks a little bothered, he then answers with his eyes closed:
"what do you mean? you already saved us, remember?
when you arrived to the underground and freed us all, you gave us hope."
You; frustrated, reply:
"but… what about your friends in the other world? don't you miss home?"
then he says firmly:
"this is our home now, Frisk."
He pauses a bit in thought, knowing you are still stubbornly sad about this and says:
" -sigh- look, kid. i believe in you and i am sure you'll try to aim for the best possible outcome, and that's something you'll have to be ok with, even if it's not perfect. trust me, it's going to be good enough.
He then winks and then says:
"besides, do you really want to get rid of us and shove us away to our old world to never see us again?"
You nervously say:
"!! of course not!, I didn't mean it like that, I… ah I'm sorry."
He's right, it's rather scary how quickly sometimes you forget, that your friends' life, everything they've worked for and lived so far can be erased if you just reset, you have the power to change fate and reality, but just because you can, doesn't mean you have that right over everyone's fate.
"yeah, ever heard of the saying -there's a limit to the things you can do in one day?-" sans says while shrugging "it's good advice"
you smile and say "yeah…"
Sans then raises his hand to pat your head, but you are now taller than him, so he's gotta stretch a bit to reach:
"jeez, you should stop growing, kid. does it look like my hands can reach that high?."
---------------------------------------
Something unusual from me, this one is been on my mind for months ( a scene like this for years even lol) so dialogue came down easily here but didn't have much energy to make it a comic as I am already busy with other fan comic at the moment, decided to explore this idea through uh... fanfic form?? I guess this classifies as a fanfic, it's very short though so mini fic I guess lol
So this is if Frisk was a Deltarune player, as in their soul got teleported to Deltarune world temporarily and they experience the game like us but I guess from a closer perspective, so not from a screen I guess.
and also this is under the theory that Sans came from Deltarune, and Frisk here had realized that after chapter 4 ending and wanted to check on Sans.
---- little bonus.-----------------
"so… how far into the events are you?"
"you were dancing with mom in the middle of the night…"
"……."
………..
ohhhh!!! hahaha! the good ol' jittlerbug, eh?!"
"rum tum tum tum" he starts dancing in the same way he did back then.
"your mom really knows how to party on each universe, huh?"
you attempt to bonk him in the skull with your umbrella, though he -unsurprisingly- dodges your attack. "hey! woah hehe! can't a skeleton have a little fun?"
"you ate Kris and Susie's pancakes!"
"well i didn't see their names printed on them"
"sans!!"
