Storm Warning
Chapter 1.
I have been wanting to write a story like this for a while now, the challenge was deciding which series/media to do it for.
It was noon on a Saturday when Frisk and the family sat down for lunch, Toriel made grilled cheese sandwiches for Frisk and Asriel and made a salad for herself.
About half an hour later, Sans looked at his phone.
"All right," he announced, "see you guys later."
"Where are you going, Sans?" Frisk asked.
"Meeting up with some friends," he said, "there's some stuff they wanted to talk about."
"You know the drill," Toriel affirmed, "I will be making dinner at five o'clock."
Sans responded with a thumbs up.
As he walked through the living room to the front door, he was noticed by Papyrus, who was sitting on the couch, watching the television.
"Sans, are you going out?" he inquired.
"Yeah," the older skeleton replied, "for a bit."
"Well, don't take too long," his younger brother advised, "the weather channel said that the weather is supposed to get bad later."
"It'll be fine," Sans said, "I'm just going to hang out, my cellphone's on if anyone needs to reach me."
With that, he was out the door.
"Hey, Papyrus," Frisk asked, running in from the kitchen, "wanna come outside with us before the rain rolls in?"
"Sure," the tall skeleton answered, "I guess some fresh air wouldn't hurt."
Outside, Undyne and Papyrus were pushing Frisk and Asriel on their swings, Alphys was taking pictures of the sky as big clouds formed in the distance, Toriel and Asgore were sitting in their lawn chairs, with Asgore filming everyone on his recorder.
"Really now," Toriel inquired, pulling down her sunglasses as she looked at her ex-husband, "just how many home movies of backyard time do you have by now?"
"Well, in actuality I have over five hundred hours of backyard activities on film," Asgore affirmed, turning the camera towards her, "but, Alphys was able to convert it all onto two DVDs, so technically only two. Which is why I need to start getting more."
"Oh my..." Toriel sighed in amusement, pushing her sunglasses back up before turning back toward the children.
"Higher," Frisk giggled, "higher!"
Undyne started to give him stronger pushes and Papyrus followed suit, doing the same for Asriel.
"Hey, Alphys," the fish woman called up to the lizard woman at the top of the jungle gym, "what're you doing up there?"
"Taking pictures of the storm clouds," her reptile girlfriend replied, "I've never seen them this dark before."
"I think that means were gonna get some pretty heavy rain." Frisk stated.
"It feels like the wind is picking up." Asriel said.
Everyone looked around as a strong breeze suddenly blew through.
"You would be right," Papyrus noted, "that is wind."
Before they knew it, the clouds were hanging over them, looking up, Frisk felt a cool drop land above his eye.
"Ah, I felt a drop!" he uttered.
Soon, everyone felt one and moments later it was drizzling.
"All right, everyone," Toriel called, getting up from her chair, "time to go inside!"
Asgore turned off his camera and got up as well.
The family quickly made their way back into the house as the rain kept coming down.
"Well, that came in faster than I thought it would," Toriel voiced, taking off her jackets, "those clouds certainly wasted no time."
"Maybe one of those 'cold fronts' moved in?" Alphys offered.
"I hope Sans isn't outside in this." Frisk voiced.
Meanwhile, Sans was hanging out at Grillby's new restaurant with the proprietor himself, Muffet, Burgerpants, Nice Cream Guy, Bratty, and Catty.
"So humans do use lighter fluid when they cook?" Burgerpants inquired curiously.
"Usually only a specific kind and on an outdoor grill," Sans explained, "that's the most I know of that subject."
"So, it doesn't explode?" Catty asked.
"No," Sans replied dryly, "it's called 'lighter' fluid not 'explosion' fluid."
"Explosion fluid does sound kinda kick ass though." Burgerpants commented.
Just then they heard a familiar, foreboding sound from outside.
"That sounded like thunder." Muffet noted.
"Oh yeah," Bratty said, "they did say it was supposed to, like, rain today."
"Good thing I decided to not take the cart out today." Nice Cream Guy stated.
"Hey, Grillby," Sans requested, "can you turn on the weather channel."
The fiery proprietor turned the television over to weather channel.
"Wow," Nice Cream Guy said, "looks like we'll have rain for a while."
"That's, like, a pretty bug patch," Catty voiced, referring to the radar onscreen, showing the coverage of the weather, "is that...bad?"
"We shouldn't be too worried," Sans assured her, "it's all green right now, if it were in red we'd have to worry."
I'm so happy to finally be getting rain where I live, some thunderstorms too, but, I hope we do not get anything more than that.
