When Blue had first learned about yoga, he had almost instantly become enamored with the idea. He knew he had a tendency to become overexcited, and, having only 1HP like every Sans, it tired him out quickly. So here, practically gift-wrapped in the form of a DVD with a very thin woman on the front, was a way to both exercise and calm down! He was currently sitting on the carpet in front of the TV. The house was nearly empty, Sans and Stretch having gone to the echo flower cave (probably to smoke, no matter how much they denied it to their brothers) and the Fell brothers having gone to take care of some business in their universe. This left only him and Paps, who he knew would be more than happy to respect his need for quiet should he come out of the kitchen. The DVD was put in, Blue had shed his battle body, left only in the gray T-shirt and dark blue pants he wore under it, and he was ready! The very thin woman from the front cover appeared on screen, along with a different very thin woman and a very buff man. She started to give directions, her and her companions displaying the correct steps as she spoke. Blue did his very best to follow. After all, he was the Magnificent Sans! He always tried his best at everything! He seemed to have finally gotten the hang of it when she announced that this session was over and that now was the time that he was supposed to law calmly on his back and take deep breaths in order to calm himself. In, out. In, out. In-- A loud screeching sound came from the direction of the kitchen, interrupting Blue's breathing. His eyes shot open and he sat up quickly, pausing the DVD and running to the doorway just as another, somewhat girly, scream rang out, accompanied by a loud crash. "Paps, what's--" Blue started to ask as he peeked into the room, only to be nearly run over by a skeleton that was nearly double his size. Paps tripped over his own feet and crashed to the ground as Blue skipped out of the way. Blue turned to look into the kitchen, cursing himself for taking off his battle body. If something had scared Paps, he, the Magnificent--there...was nothing? The kitchen was completely empty. Nothing was out of place except for the spaghetti ingredients spread across the table and a fallen chair that accounted for the crashing noise he had heard. Blue turned back in confusion. "Paps, what are you screaming about?" He asked to the empty air, for the tall skeleton had already picked himself up off of his rear and high-tailed it up the stairs so he could hide behind a banister. "Is it gone?" Blue heard Paps ask, fear evident in his voice. Blue was more confused than ever. "Is what gone? There's nothing in there!" "There was a spider! Is the spider gone?" Blue looked up at him in disbelief. Then he found himself starting to smile. "Are you afraid of spiders?" "Yes!" Paps cried, still hiding. "Sans always gets them for me, but he's gone!" Despite Paps's obvious distress, Blue found himself giggling quietly. He tried to keep his volume down enough that Paps wouldn't hear him; he didn't want to embarrass him any further than he already had. He ducked into the kitchen quickly, tracking down the spider. It was about the size of a grain of rice, and appeared to be attempting to make a home beside the fridge. Blue carefully scooped it up and carried it through the house, opening the front door and depositing it outside. Then he went back inside and called up to Paps "okay, I took care of it!" He heard him stand slowly, and suppressed more giggles at the way he seemed to be trying to look overly dignified as he descended the stairs. "Thank you, Blue" he said, almost regally, as he passed him in the doorway. Blue leaned against the wall and watched Paps continue his work on the spaghetti, not missing the way he double-checked to make sure the spider really was gone. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he smiled again. "Is this why you won't ever go to Muffets with us?" The other's immediate blush was answer enough, and this time, Blue didn't try very hard at all to cover up his giggles.
