  Summary

  There is nothing that Papyrus wants more, than to join the royal guard.
  He will stop at nothing to achieve his goal...

  even if it means dragging himself through his own dust.

   

  Alternatively: the one where Papyrus joins the royal gaurd only to suffer through autistic burnout.
