Sans was floating through a void.

So dark,

He felt so...

Alone.

There was no sound at all. Silence. Darkness.

Sans couldn't move. Couldn't speak. Couldn't really even feel himself.

Sans saw light.

He tried to touch it, but it was out of his reach.

Sans could move.

He tried again, but still, the light was out of his grasp.

Sans attempted once more, reaching as far as he could go.

He touched the light.

And then he heard somebody say,

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!"

...........................................................

Sans opened his eyes to see light. He was on a dirt road. He shook his skull to clear it of a skull-ache. Ugh... I don't remember a reset beginning like this. Sans thought. He then decided to take in his surroundings, because no timeline he had ever been in began like this.

He can't remember the darkness...

But Sans was extremely confused when he suddenly realized that the light on his bones was the sun. Sans wasn't in Underground. He was on the Surface. The Surface. He looked around excitedly, hoping to see Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, or even Flowey. "Paps, Papy? Papy, where are you?" Sans called out.

But nobody came...

Sans had no response until a woman in a red robe and a weird hair style came out of one of the trees. Sans jumped back in fright. He didn't expect this to happen, and he doubted that this timeline should even exist.

But, when Sans jumped back, his hood fell over his head before the woman noticed him him.

Her face was suddenly turned into one of pure anger as she saw Sans. "GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!! I HATE HUMANS!!!!!!!!" She somehow got a broom and started to jab at him with it. But when trying to apparently sweep Sans away, she took of his hood, thus revealing the fact that Sans was a skeleton.

The woman was shocked and instantly dropped the broom.

Sans chuckled. "did i sweep you off your feet?" Sans punned. The woman instantly picked up the broom again. "WHAT ARE YOU??????? WHO SENT YOU??????? WHAT KIND OF EVIL MAGIC SUMMONED THIS MONSTER?????? AWAY, AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!" The woman screamed at him. Sans got up, activated his eye, held out his hand, and said, "look, don't make me do this. i really don't want to do this, but if you keep this up, lady, then i'm gonna have to give you a bad time." The woman dropped the broom and calmed down. "Well, I guess you aren't a human." She said. Sans nodded. "i'm a monster, a skeleton to be exact. could you fill me in on what's... new...?" He picked his words carefully, trying not to reveal that he remembered the timelines.

The lady nodded. "I guess I could start off by telling you who I am. I am Porlyusica, a specialist in medicine. I help out the nearby wizard guild, Fairy Tail. Who might you be?" Porlyusica said. Sans looked down. "i'm sans. sans the skeleton. i share your disliking of humans. well, at least one in particular." It... "well, i'm kinda new here, so could you help me by telling me what this place is, and, uh, what a wizard guild is?"

Porlyusica stopped. She seemed to have decided something with herself and proceeded to question the skeleton more. "Well, before I go into detail on where you are, are you from... somewhere else? I know that anybody here, even people not from around here would know what a wizard guild is. Please describe where you come from for me." She said. 

Sans started to get worried. She's caught onto me! Sans thought in desperation to come up with a good excuse. But Porlyusica started speaking again. "Do you happen to come from a different... time?" Sans started to become more panicked than he had ever done so when fighting it. Then it struck Sans like lightning. He wasn't in a new timeline.

Sans was in a completely new universe.

He swallowed. "of course i don't come from a different time period, if that's what you're thinking." Sans said. Porlyusica's eyes widened. "No, no it can't be. No, that's impossible." Porlyusica said. Sans was confused. What is she hinting at? Porlyusica swallowed and stared at Sans straight in the eye socket before saying, "Sans, do you come from a different dimension?"

Sans was dumbstruck. Porlyusica was so close to the truth. Just barely missed by a centimeter.

He was sweating even more. Porlyusica apparently took this as a sign that she was getting closer to the truth, because she said, "Are you from a different universe, Sans?"

Sans instantly started sweating bullets, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped about 10 degrees. The tension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. A knife... "yeah, porlyusica. just... just please don't tell anyone else." Sans said with fake calmness. Porlyusica smiled. "Of course I won't. I'm from a different dimension, actually. So I can relate to your situation." She kneeled down, getting face-to-face with Sans before saying, "You just have to keep my secret too."

The tension lifted as she stood up, and Sans had to ask again. "hey, porlyusica, can you tell me about this world?" Porlyusica looked down at the short skeleton. "Sure. I can tell you as much as you'd like to know about this place."

And with that, Porlyusica proceeded to tell Sans about this new world.

....................................................................................................................

"In a land far far away from your world, probably way different than yours too, lies the Kingdom of Fiore, a small peaceful nation of about 17 million, and a place filled with magic. Our magic can be found in every home and bought and sold in every marketplace. For some, however, this magic is an art, and they have devoted their lives to its practice. These are the mages. They have banded together into magical guilds and they apply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many guilds like this dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in the town near us that soars high above the rest. Its name... is Fairy Tail."

.....................................................................................................................

Sans' grin was even bigger. He knew he was going to like this place.

"Sadly, Sans, monsters in this world are not... as good as you. In this world, most monsters want to hurt and kill people and innocent civilians. You may not be welcome out there."

Instantly, Sans' grin was now looking strained. "oh. so, how exactly would I go out there then?" Sans asked. Porlyusica looked at him. "Well, I could give you a potion that mimics transformation magic temporarily, and will give you the form you desire." Sans' smile was big and not in any way strained again.

"i might take up your offer. how long is 'temporarily'?"
