After we ate at Grillby's, We drank milkshakes and just started talking. The thing that caught me off guard was that Sans was drinking ketchup right out of the bottle "...How do you do that?" I felt like I was going to gag when he swallowed before he responded.
"what? want some?"
"EWW! Only with fries and 'dog, not straight up from the bottle! Why do you do that?" I sat with Sans at work too much and already knew his short for hotdog, making him laugh more.
"it's tasty, I don't care what people think. boom, 2 answers in one sentence, hehehe." He started drinking it again. "don't you have a drink that doesn't really classify as a drink you like?"
"...i dunno..." I might have been hungry times before the barrier broke, but I didn't drink condiments.
"I LOVE HONEY! ONE TIME I TRIED MAKING A SWEET SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH IT... I DIDN'T TURN OUT WELL, BUT I STILL TRIED! BEE'S LOVED IT! NYEH HEH HEH!"
"So you drink it from the bottle too?" He made a face like he was going to make a lie...
"...I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT..."
"Oh my gosh..." I face palmed myself.
"I got it!" Frisk stopped drinking their milkshake, a milk mustache on their lips "What if you got your favorite condiment, and drink it! I drank mustard!" Sans just started laughing.
"...I am not drinking ranch dressing..." I just shuddered thinking of just THAT in my mouth
"I DARE YOU! HERE, I HAVE A PACKET THAT CAME WITH MY SALAD!" He tossed me the packet, and I hit it with the back of my hand back to him."...SO YOU CAN'T DO IT?"
"...I'm not Undyne Pap, that ain't gonna work." He just sagged back into his seat and Frisk patted his back.
"if you do it i'll give you 5g." Sans even took the 5g out of his pocket to prove he had it.
"Really?! You'll spend money to make me do it?"
"okay... do it and all the food we ate will go on my tab." ...I just started at him with a glare.
"...My point still stands, Sans... Gimme the packet." Pap tossed me the packet, and I looked at it. It was a little bigger than the ketchup packets I was used to seeing, and I never tried the ranch from Grillby's establishment. I opened it and I-
"don't smell it yet. ketchup smells weird but the taste isn't the same, just drink it." So... I drank it. The packet had a lot of ranch in it, I just chugged it. I swallowed everything, getting an aftertaste from the ranch... "...so... how was it?"
"...I wish I didn't chugged it like that..." I hid my face in my hands. "I kinda liked it..." Then they laughed. "Okay, I was wrong! Hahahaha..." I just stuck the opened edge of the packet pack into my mouth just to suck on it while we continued to talk.
I was happy nobody asked about HOW I got into the E.R. Basically, Sans said that we were attacked by someone he didn't see, and that I just got in the way when I noticed what was happening. I didn't want to explain anything... My HP was high... But i'm not THAT strong... Well i'm not-... I'm not too sure about me from another multiverse and Chara possessing them...
But, the reason why I got hurt so much is that I don't have the best... DEF. I think you know what that is, right? The ability to defend yourself from attacks Monster or Human causes... I knew what my DEF was, and it was -1. I can take a hit, trust me, but thanks to what just happened, we learned that if I get hit with an attack too strong, I'll go Comatose or maybe pass out for a bit... Maybe nothing will happen since Chara made that attack and who know's what too much determination can do to something. My HP was below the hundreds after the attack...
After we ate at Grillby's we went back home. It felt great to see the village again. It was 7Pm when we got back, so Toriel had to make dinner for her and Frisk, and left back to their house, saying goodbyes before they left.
"IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK HOME DJ! IT FELT WEIRD NOT HEARING YOUR MUSIC COMING FROM YOUR HOUSE!"
"Heh, I gotta lower the volume, don't I? Welp, if it's before 8, it's as loud as I want it!" I stretched my arms, breathing in the air of our village again. then I let my arms fall on my head "...I still need another job..."
"I HEARD ABOUT YOUR JOB AT MUFFET'S... I KNOW! SOMEONE BACK WHERE I WORK GOT FIRED FOR ALMOST LEAKING A RECIPE FOR THE SPECIAL'S GARLIC BREAD! MAYBE I CAN ASK MY BOSS ABOUT HIRING YOU! YOU SAID IN YOUR LAST JOB YOU WERE A WAITRESS, YES?"
"Y-Yeah! Pap you mean it?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"OF COURSE I DO! NEXT MONDAY, I'LL ASK!"
"You really are the great Papyrus!" I hugged him, him lifting me in the air "Ribs! Ribs!"
"AH! SORRY! NYEH HEH HEH! I ALMOST FORGOT!"
"welp. first a bakery, now a Italian restaurant... keep going like this and I might make you work at my hot dog stand."
"Even if I did, there wouldn't be any ketchup for the hotdogs."
"and the italian place ain't gonna have ranch for their salads... speaking of..." Sans reached into his pocket and pulled out three of the same ranch packets from grillby's. "who's the 'jolly rancher'?" He handed me the packets as Papyrus fumed
"SANS! THAT'S A CANDY!" I was laughing at both of them, happy hearing a pun from Sans and Pap yelling about it, smiling at the same time."I WILL NOT LET THIS DAY BE RUINED BY HIS PUNS!" Pap turned to me, giving a quick hug "TODAY IS FRIDAY, SO I'LL PICK YOU UP FOR WORK ON MONDAY AT 8:30 SHARP IF MY BOSS ACCEPTS! GOODBYE DJ!" Then he ran back to his house.
"pap is the best."
"Yup... Isn't he the youngest, or the middle brother now?"
"... well, we're twins an-"
"What?" Sans looked like he was waiting to see my face when he told me about this. "Your... twins?"
"yup! don't look like it, does it!? people get so confused when we don't say anything!" He was laughing as he was explaining. People think that because Pap is taller he is the older brother, then they see how both Sans and Pap act and think Sans is the older brother. "I only meet one person who GUESSED correctly, and that was Clyde. I was so shocked."
"H-How did he guess!?" I was laughing because of the stories Sans was telling.
"he just guessed! he might have been joking, but pap didn't care. he guessed it right, and pap hugged him. first person to ever get it right... who did you think was the oldest?"
"...Tabia honest, I thought you were the oldest verte-bro..." We stood there in silence before we lost it.
"y-you... HAHAHA! YOU CHEATED! you looked t-that up on Google!"
"And i'm happy I did!" Sans fell on the ground when he was laughing and now was just catching his breath. I sat down next to him and just looked up.
"aahhh... eheheh... I'll never get used to the stars here." I lied down next to him with my arms behind my head. "i've been reading about... constellations and how you can see the planets... so cool."
"Nothing beats a shooting star. they're so beautiful when they pass by..."
"what's a shooting star? i never heard of that in the books i read."
"Well, the books you read might call them meteors or asteroids... I don't really know the whole process, but it's when... something get's close enough to earth that you can see it. It basically looks like a ball of fire zooming in the sky... I saw thousands of them- some actually land on earth."
"is there anything you haven't seen?"
"... A hippo and a lion play billiards, how bout that?" Sans stifles a laugh. "Well, real things..? I think i've seen it all. Hell, I seen all history unfold... A lot of it... actually sucks..."
"...what do ya mean?" He sat up but I still lied on the ground.
"...Humans... N-Not all of them... But... A large amount... Are freaking cruel... Would you believe me if I told you that humans enslaved other humans just because they took over land that belonged to them and for the slaves skin color? Or that how women we inferior for God knows how many years? And I don't even want to explain racism... I'm glad humans are warming up to monsters and vice versa." Sans face was full of shock as I continued to explain things that the humans did that we're just plain wrong...
"...wow... I-I never knew that... have you seen any good humans?"
"Besides Frisk? I heard of them... but never meet em... wish I could have. There were so many good people... So far... My favorite has to be the mayor... She let all monsters stay in Ebott city... I wouldn't have meet the best verte-bros..."
"you can't use the same joke..." I heard him snicker as hard as he tried not to."still... it was humerus." I held my breath to hold in my laugh. We looked up at the stars in silence for a few more minutes "...thanks... for getting in front of me... I... wouldn't of survived that..."
"...That's what siblings are for, right?" I just heard him sigh and see him nod "...You think Chara is REALLY gone?"
"yup... destroyed the artifact... that's the only way multiverses can connect... I went back to my dad's lab, and found out that he named the ones he seen, and gave a name to this one."
"Yay, story time. Do tell." I got on my side and held my head with my arm.
"he called this one 'Undertale.'... his notes said that he called it that because we knew the 'tale of the underground' heh. he's worse then asgore when it come's to names... The one where Puffy came from was called 'Underswap'...You can guess why... Then, there's 'Underfell'... That's where Chara's at."
"...What's up with that one... Isn't that the one where 'I' attacked you?" I noticed his sockets turned into voids instead of the pinpricks in them...
"Oh, that wasn't you... Underfell, is where us monsters started the war... and lost. You were in the underground with us in that realm."
"Same as Underswap... Did you see me in there? I looked older, too." I looked back and his eyes were normal again.
"Yup... Gaster knew her."
"...Your Dad... knew Underswap me?" I sat up and crossed my legs to look up at the sky again.
"yup-"
"Stop saying yup, you bonehead!" I playfully hit his shoulder
"...Yus, my Dad knew the other you. I have the logs when he made notes..."
"No..."
"yus!" Sans sat up and pulled out a tape with weird symbols on the label. "got a VSR?"
"Yes, but... Maybe later... I'm bone tired..." He snickered and handed me the tape as he got up and stretched.
"me too. watch it whenever ya want... just don't lose it and give it back when you're done. I should go and read Pap his bedtime story." Then he walked away to his house. I looked at the tape and tried to figure out the freaky symbols on it. There was snowflakes, emoji faces and hands all over it.
*"Why are skeletons named after font's?"*
*"his name was w. ."*
"...WebDings?" I said to myself. *I wonder if it's on my laptop... my name is... I dunno about the other's... eh, why not?* I got up and went into my house and sat on my bed with my laptop. I opened up 'notepad' and looked through the fonts it had in 'Format'. I saw comic sans, cooper, dejavu sans. all of them showed what they looked like with their names... except when I got to the bottom of the list. I found some labeled symbol and found webdings with three sets of wingdings. I clicked the first one and started typing random keys, and it didn't match the ones on the tape. I changed it with wingdings and did the same process and things weren't matching to well. I clicked the capslock, then everything was actually matching. "...So, uppercase guy, huh?" I typed a capital alphabet on the laptop and looked at the tape to see if I could figure out how to read it.. but... I was still tired.
