She has been waiting for this day for forever! The school trip!

When the announcement of an overnight school trip between the history and science departments came up, excitement was the only sound that was heard throughout the entire class that day.

The trip consisted of an overnight stay in the nearby woods. Students were going to be split into groups. They will go around in the forest to study the plants which dwelled there and how they tied into the history of the town and Mt. Ebott.

She was glad that she's in a group with Alec and Liz. They'll have so much fun!

With pen in hand, Frisk went down her checklist, making sure she had everything which she needed.

Toriel - "Frisk! Did you finish packing your bag yet? The bus will be here in a few minutes."

Frisk - "Almost done Mom!"

Nodding to herself, she slung her overnight bag over her shoulder and headed downstairs.

When she came out from within the house, she was pulled up into a tight embrace. Papyrus - "I'm going to miss you, Frisk! Please don't have too much fun without me."

She giggled, patting him on the back. Frisk - "I'll only be gone for a night, Papy." As she was put down, a wonderful idea came to her. "You know, we could always go camping around here in the future."

Papyrus beamed with excitement at Frisk's suggestion. Papyrus - "What a brilliant idea, Frisk! We'll have loads of fun! We could build a campfire, sing songs, make tasty treats and oh, Sans could join in with us! Doesn't that sound like fun, Sans?"

They watched as Sans in his usual sitting position came out of the daze which he was in. Sans - "Oh… sure, sounds like a great idea, Bro."

Frisk frowned. Why did Sans sound so sad? She hated it when someone was unhappy, especially him.

Toriel - "Sans, you seem upset. Are you alright?"

Sans didn't respond.

Suddenly, Papyrus burst with excitement. Papyrus - "Ah ha! I, the Great Papyrus, have figured out what's upsetting Sans!"

Frisk - "You have?"

He nodded, pointing his finger toward Frisk. Papyrus - "I believe Sans is upset because he's going to miss you being here."

Sans' eye sockets widened with surprise at his brother's assumption. He chuckled, raising his hands in defeat. Sans - "Heh, you got me bro."

Frisk - "Aw… Sans." She walked over and hugged his arm. "Is that true?"

Letting out a sad sigh, Sans patted Frisk on her head. Sans - "Of course I'm going to miss you, kid. It's going to be very bonely without you."

In the distance, Frisk could see the school bus come around the curve near the house. She let lose her grip from Sans' arm, much to his dismay. Frisk - "Bus is here!"

Toriel hugged Frisk as she was about to leave. Toriel - "Be safe, sweetheart, and have fun."

Frisk - "Hehehe, I will Mom."

Frisk jogged toward the bus beside the nearby street as she held onto her supply bag, her hair ruffling in the gentle breeze. She reaches its opening doors near the front of the vehicle, and she walks up the steps into its rowdy interior.

As she came onto the bus, she greeted the teacher who was sitting in the front seat. Frisk - "Good morning, Mr. Martin."

He returned the smile. Mr. Martin - "Good morning to you too, Ms. Dreemurr."

He glances out at her rather large house through the window beside him. Mr. Martin - "I must say, your home is quite the sight to behold. Not to sound rude, but would the large fellow sitting near it have anything to do with all of that?"

She followed his gaze toward the window, where Sans stared at the bus. She scratched her head. Frisk - "You could say that. Thank you for the compliment though."

As he nods his head back at her, she notices a majority of the other kids in the bus staring out the same windows of the bus at Sans, and she sighs to herself, 'Here we go again.'

Mr. Martin chuckles to himself as he glanced back at Frisk. Mr. Martin - "I think you may have garnered yourself some more attention."

Frisk slumps over a bit. Frisk - "I know…"

She begins walking toward the back of the bus; and as her classmates bombarded her with questions, she shoos each one of them off.

Inching towards the back of the bus, she saw her friends with bright smiles on their faces. Especially Alec, whom of which was waving at her. Alec - "Hey, Frisk!"

Boy, someone sounds excited.

She returns the wave as she took a seat beside the girl in the side opposite to his seat. Frisk - "Hello, Alec."

The other girl sighs at the enthusiasm of the boy, and she waves her hand at Frisk. Liz - "Good morning, Frisk."

Frisk - "Alec sure seems excited for this trip."

Liz chuckled. Liz - "Trust me. That's the only thing he talked about before you got on."

Liz adjusts her glasses as she glanced out the window beside her, and she smiles to herself. Liz - "I do have to admit that I can hardly contain my excitement either."

As the small group of friends basked in their excitement, the driver revs the engines of the bus back up, and they begin driving off toward the next destination.

Alec - "Hey guys, look at this one!"

Frisk and Liz join their friend by the flora which he found.

They kneel down to inspect the flower. Liz looked down at her worksheet which was given out to them when they arrived.

Liz - "I believe that's a buttercup. According to the guide, they started to spread across the base of Mt. Ebott after the Great War."

Frisk nodded. Frisk - "It's true. Asgore used to grow a lot of them in his castle."

Liz - "I didn't know flowers could grow down there."

Frisk put her hand on Liz's shoulder. Frisk - "Trust me Liz, a lot of things in the Underground are unnatural. Flowers growing down there is way less weird than a giant skeleton."

Frisk sighed sadly.

Alec - "Still worried about Sans?"

She nodded.

Liz - "I'm sure he's fine, Frisk. You shouldn't worry yourself."

A distance boom of thunder echoed throughout the skies. The group of friends looked up at the darkened sky.

Alec - "I thought we weren't going to have a storm today."

Frisk pointed down the path where they came from. Frisk - "Let's head back down. We should get back before it starts pou-"

Thunder boomed again.

The heavy gray clouds burst with the load they had in them. A severe downpour started to fall in the area, falling upon the friends' heads.

Covering her head with her closed notebook, Liz turned to face Frisk. Liz - "You were saying, Frisk?"

Frisk - "I hate irony."

The group covered their supplies with their jackets, running towards the path. Rain continuously fell upon the area.

The sounds of thunder died down while the group was running towards the campsite. Hopefully all the other groups already made it back to camp safely.

The group of friends ran as fast as their little legs could take them. They skipped over the large branches that were in their path.

Frisk weaved her way through the oncoming tree branches, following closely behind. Frisk - 'I hope we make back it back to camp soon. This area can get really bad during a storm.'

Ah yes, the first few days climbing Mt. Ebott. Those were some… stressing times for Frisk.

Frisk glanced at the mountain in the distance. Nostalgic memories came back to her. Her times in the Underground… She wouldn't trade it for anything in world. And it all started when she fell…!

Heedless of her immediate obstacles, Frisk hits the tip of her foot against a large branch, sending her plummeting toward the dirty ground. Upon her sudden impact with the dirt, Frisk let out a scream.

Her friends look back at her as they halted themselves, and they rush over to her side, their expressions full of concern. Alec - "Frisk! What happened?"

Frisk motioned her finger back toward the large branch behind her, grasping her right ankle in her other hand. Frisk - "I wasn't looking where I was stepping and tripped over that branch."

Frisk felt a little embarrassed. Here she was, the ambassador of all monsters who survived a fall that should have broken every bone in her body. Yet, a branch is what hurts her. This was kinda sad.

Liz - "Do you think you can walk on it?"

Frisk shook her head.

Alec looked frantic towards the situation. Alec - "What should we do, Liz?"

Liz sighed, as she moved over to one of Frisk's arm and swung it over her own back. Liz - "Let's move Frisk to a safer area. The storm seems to have slowed down for now."

Alec did as Liz suggested and helped move Frisk by some rocks, where she was hopefully safe.

Liz - "Okay Frisk, Alec and I are going to get to the camp and find some help."

Frisk nodded.

Twiddling her fingers around, Frisk sighs to herself. She glanced down the path, anxious of her friends' return.

Frisk - 'I wonder what's taking them so long. Hopefully the storm didn't slow them down.'

A distance sound of thunder echoed from the distance, making Frisk jump a bit. She thought the thunder would have been gone by now. Oh well, at least it's far away.

Her mind wandered to her countless thoughts, patiently waiting.

Her first thoughts went to her family. They must be having tons of rain there at the mansion. Toriel and Papyrus are probably inside the house, while poor Sans is suffering outside. Usually when it rained there, Frisk would go sit outside and kept him company.

Sigh…

She really misses him right now.

She kinda wishes he was by her side right now. It was kinda wishful thinking.

Creak…

Frisk - "Huh?"

Tilting her head up a bit, she really hoped that sound wasn't what she thought it was.

From a distance, a tall pine tree swayed side to side from the strong storm winds, finally topping over.

And it was heading right for her!

Frisk felt her heart stop. She was shaking at sight of oncoming terror. She has never been this fearful for her own life as before, not even when fighting Asriel's full powered form did she fear for her life.

There was nothing she could do in this situation.

The tree was inching closer, but then…

Whoosh!

Frisk held her arms over her head in the oncoming danger of the tree, her eyes shut tight in horror; but when its creaking stopped in an instant, she froze up in place.

When she felt the absence of the rain splashing around her, she slowly opened her eyes, her head tilting up at the sight before her.

She gasps at the imposing figure of a certain enormous skeleton that was looming between her and the pine tree. Frisk - "Sans…"

Sans huffed to himself as he scooped up Frisk into his hand, and he pushed back against the leaning tree which collided with his back. Sans - "Hey, kid. Sorry to be late."

Frisk held her hands over her chest, heavily panting from adrenaline. Frisk - "Thanks... Sans."

Sans let out a little chuckle as he straightened herself back up, and he looked down at the human on his skeletal palm, his usual grin a bit strained. Sans - "That was a close call, wouldn't you say kid?"

She raised her upper body, having gotten her heart calmed down, and she looked back up at his face. Frisk - "It was. I'm glad you showed up when you did, Sans."

Sans - "Need a ride back to your camp?"

Frisk nodded her head as she continued grasping her ankle.

Stepping over the fallen tree, Sans begins making his way through the expanse of the forest. He walked briskly, his free hand hovering his jacket over himself, covering him and Frisk from the rain.

The walk to the camp was quiet, save for the dripping of rain.

Sans sighs to himself, glancing down at all the bruises Frisk had on her right leg. Sans - "Okay kid, what happened?"

She whimpered as she pointed him toward her ankle. Frisk - "I tripped over a branch when Alec, Liz and I were trying to get away from the storm."

Sans raises his bone brow down at Frisk. Sans - "And they just left you there?"

Frisk quickly shook her head - "No, they just rushed back towards the camp to get some help."

Sans - "Kid, you better be glad I was in the area when that tree was coming down. I… wouldn't have forgiven myself if I knew something happened to you and I could've done something about it."

Frisk hugged a finger of his boney hand, comforting her friend. Frisk - "But you did make it, and I'm glad you were there, Sans."
