Nyssa grits her teeth as she watches people with picket signs scream at her from a corner on the street, not even a block away from her home. She continues her walk, a couple of bags of groceries in hand.

"You brought this on us!"

"Burn in hell for your sick life!"

"You're just as much of a monster as those things!" Nyssa doesn't look back, and the shouts quickly become nothing more than background noise for her. She heads up to her apartment, then begins putting groceries away.

"WELCOME HOME, NYSSA." Gaster walks out of his room, holding some papers. Nyssa glances at him, but continues to put away her food.

"Thanks. Say, I bought some stuff for burgers tonight. Sound good?"

"THAT SOUNDS FINE. I DID WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE CEREMONY IS BEING PREPARED. IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE LEADERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD GATHER TO SIGN ANGETHER. ARE YOU PREPARED?"

"I'm rarely prepared for anything. Doesn't stop me, though." She smiles at Gaster. "Honestly, I'm just hoping this'll help to stop these people from trying to harass us. Probably not, but… I can dream." She looks down at the hamburger buns in her hands.

"YES, WE CAN HOPE. THOUGH... I DON'T HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS."

"I don't, either…" Nyssa sighs. "I… really hope nothing goes wrong."

Nyssa and Sans run through a hospital, bouncing off walls, using the momentum to turn corners and continue running. They head up a couple flights of stairs, unwilling to wait for the elevators. They then make their way past people as they run down a hallway, until finally they slide to a stop in front of a room. When they walk in, they see Papyrus sitting on a bed while Gaster and a doctor speak together.

"Papyrus!"

"pap!" The two run to Papyrus, and he smiles at them.

"WOWWIE. I DON'T THINK SANS HAS EVER MOVED SO FAST BEFORE. YOU TWO GOT HERE SO QUICKLY."

"Of course we did! Are you okay, Pap? A…" Nyssa reaches up and puts her fingers on a crack in the side of Papyrus' skull. "D-does it hurt?"

"I-I'LL BE FINE. WHAT ABOUT THAT HUMAN, THOUGH? IS HE OKAY? I HOPE I DIDN'T HURT ANYONE."

"don't worry. i'll hurt them for you."

"Sans!" Nyssa glares at Sans, then she smiles at Papyrus. "Everyone is fine, Pap. The man that attacked you was checked over before the police took him, and he has no injuries. He was a little freaked out by the wall of bones, but not hurt."

"OH, GOOD. I'M GLAD EVERYONE IS OKAY. NOW, I JUST WISH HE HADN'T SWUNG SO HARD." Nyssa crosses her arms as she looks over at Gaster and the doctor.

"Well, there isn't much more we can do here. As far as healing monsters goes… We just don't know anything about it." The doctor looks at Papyrus, then at Nyssa and Sans. "I could have him stay here for a day or two, just to ensure he gets some rest, but…"

"I THINK IT'D BE BEST IF PAPYRUS WENT HOME. THIS HOSPITAL ISN'T ABLE TO HELP MUCH, SO I THINK WE SHOULDN'T WASTE THEIR TIME."

"Yeah. We should probably get him home." Papyrus hops off his bed.

"Alright. I wish there was more we could do, but we just aren't equipped to care for magical creatures. Certainly, I'm at a loss for how to care for magic skeletons."

"That's fine. We can care for him at home. We just need to get him checked out, and…"

"I'LL BE STAYING HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, SO I'LL TAKE CARE OF ANY PAPERS THAT THEY NEED. PAPYRUS, GO AHEAD AND GET READY. NYSSA AND SANS WILL TAKE YOU HOME."

"That means we can wheel you out in a chair." Nyssa smirks.

"WHEEL ME OUT?" Nyssa looks at the doctor, and he smiles at her.

"Yes!" She runs out of the room, and when she returns she has a wheelchair. "Sit in here." Papyrus sits down, then Nyssa starts running, pushing him with her.

"Don't run!" The doctor shouts.

"hey! wait for me!" Sans runs after them.

"THIS IS GREAT! WE MUST GET ONE OF THESE!" Papyrus shouts with a laugh. Suddenly the two feel heavy, and they stop moving forward. Nyssa glances back to see Sans, hand held out, eye glowing. He makes a quick couple of motions, and the two lift off the ground and gently float back to him. The others in the hallway watch in shock.

"you two really need to calm down. come on now, the elevator is this way." He starts walking, pulling the two of them with him. Nyssa leans forward on Papyrus' chair, smirking as she watches Sans walk.

"You're no fun. Wheelchairs are great for playing around, and after how panicked we were, I think having some fun would be a great idea."

"not running over sick people and doctors is also a great idea." Sans glances at them. "you two are such trouble."

"I'm pretty sure that's my line." Nyssa giggles.

"WELL, THIS IS STILL FUN! I NEVER USED TO SEE SANS USE HIS ABILITIES." Papyrus looks up and back at Nyssa. She kisses his forehead, making him blush and instantly look forward again.

"well, i guess i was always too lazy before." When they reach the elevators he finally sets Nyssa and Papyrus down. Papyrus presses the down button, and it isn't long before one of the doors open. They walk in, and Papyrus presses the button for the main floor. Once the doors close, Nyssa leans back against the wall.

"When we get home I'll fix you up, Pap. Sorry you have to wait."

"NO, I UNDERSTAND. IT ISN'T RIGHT FOR US TO REVEAL YOUR POWERS YET. BESIDES, IT ISN'T TOO BAD. JUST A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" Sans chuckles.

"you're too cool, bro."

Once again, Nyssa finds herself listening to the angry chants of anti-monster groups as she walks down a street with Sans.

"i don't think they ever leave. do they sleep?" Sans questions.

"I really don't think they do. Seriously, you wanna see something scary then look at protesters. They can be terrifying." Nyssa sighs. "As long as we don't get more violent ones, everything should be fine."

"if another one decks my brother then they're gonna have a very bad time."

"Calm down, Sans." Nyssa grabs his hand and squeezes it. "If we overreact, especially before monsters are officially accepted by the world governments, then things can go very wrong for everyone. This time, monsters won't be simply sealed away. Humans don't have magic like that anymore."

"i know… just, pap doesn't deserve that treatment. none of the monsters do. yesterday, shyren got pushed around, before that pap was punched, tori has been harassed every time she goes to the store…" He sighs. "it's hard to not care."

"I never said that we should stop caring. We just have to make sure we are very careful about what we do and how we do it. If monster seriously hurt some humans…" Nyssa looks at the crowd shouting at her. "They could get what they want." The two stop at a corner and wait to cross the street. "Well, the big day is coming up. Tori told me that they're already setting up the building where the papers will be signed and everything."

"the sooner it comes, the better." Sans looks up at the sky. "nys… once everything is settled… do you wanna stay in the city?"

"Hm? Why?" Nyssa looks at Sans. "Do you want to leave?"

"heh, i guess i kinda do. just… pap and i have never been big on city life. we grew up in a lab, away from other monsters, and then we moved to snowdin, so… i think a home a bit further away sounds nice." Nyssa smiles. The crosswalk changes, and the two continue on their way.

"That… it does sound nice. I think a home in a smaller town, or at least away from all of this…" She looks back at the protesters. "I'd like a nice home like that… I think Pap and Gaster would like that too."

"it'd be a big family move. of course, moving is a lot of work. i might need to nap for a few days beforehand." Nyssa giggles, and Sans chuckles.

"Well, once everything is settled, we'll figure things out."
