Pikachulover66 here, and I'm gonna try to actually write and finish a story. Long time no see, am I right? So I'm going to be writing some Undertale trash for you all. This is gonna be a weird one but I promise romance~! It'll be there, I swear! And with that, let's go!

Chapter One

Forget jobs with other humans, I wanna work with monsters!

There was a war between monsters and humans, and as a result they were trapped under a mountain, it just happened to be a different mountain. It was one in California. The game Undertale was based off these "monsters" that were actually humanoid. All of them looked fairly human, there were just a few traits that made it clear that they weren't. Some were part animal, or had odd colored skin, even various arms and legs. A lot of people accepted them because of the game, but there were a lot of genocide runners that agreed that they should be killed. The general public that had no idea what Undertale was had very mixed views. Sadly in this world of racism and hate towards everyone, no matter the color of their skin, these "monsters" walked into a living hell and there was no Frisk in this world.

This is a simple story of a pure hearted girl that fell in love with the world. Filled with kindness, her heart couldn't understand the reason for hate. She had a pure white soul, and in this world where "monsters" were real, and the humans treated them poorly, Shadow didn't have much of a place here. Today was the day though. She was going to leave her little apartment and try to find a new job. The young twenty two year old worked at a calm coffee house, or at least it was till the "monsters" came to the surface. Since then the shop had nothing but hate, but a nice restaurant with a bar opened up not too far from the beach where Shadow lived. The place was said to be run by these "monsters" that everyone seems to hate for some reason. She figured it would be a nice place to work, it would be quiet and away from the real monsters in Shadow's eyes. Humans were very hard to deal with as of late for her so she put in her two weeks notice and decided she was going to get hired at Grillby's no matter what.

Shadow slipped on a red tank top, with a short skirt and black tights, then threw a black hoodie over it. She quickly looked into the mirror, her ruby red eyes sparkling as she put on just a little bit of makeup. It was just enough to bring out her natural beauty. Then she tied her long shining straight red hair into a ponytail that swayed back and forth with every step she took. Grabbing her small red purse and slipping on a pair of short black heels with a red rose pattern on it, she walked out the door.

Grillby's was fairly close to her apartment complex so Shadow decided it was best to walk. It was a short twenty minute walk. Soon enough she was at the door of the fine establishment. She peeked her head in to see that it was pretty empty. It looked like there were only two people there; a man with fire for hair with bright green eyes, and a man with snow white hair, and black eyes with white pupils. Shadow skittered through the door. Her face bright red due to her shyness. She slowly started walking up to the bar. The two men stopped talking to look at her. They seem confused by her appearance. It was rare for a human to show up in a place ran by "monsters'.

"Um, h-hello?" Shadow nervously said, her voice squeaking as she looked at the two.

"Hello", said the man with fire for hair, "I'm Grillby, would you like to order something?"

Shadow's face lightened up a little at his gentle tone of voice, "I would love to but I'm here for another reason."

Grillby and the snow haired man narrowed their eyes at her. "Oh, what would that reason be?" Grillby asked, his voice getting a bit of an edge to it.

Shadow's face got red again when she realized what they must be thinking so she blurted out what she was here for, "I want to work here."

The two looked fairly shocked at her statement. The snow haired man spoke up this time, "Kid, you do realize this is a monster joint, right? It's no place for humans. Your kind only brings in trouble."

His voice was smooth, but harsh which caused her to give him a small glare, "Just because I'm human doesn't mean I'm going to cause you guys trouble. I want to work here to get away from humans. They've been so loud and harsh where I currently work. I can't take it anymore. There's far too much hate there."

The snow haired man seemed to frown a bit. Although it looked like he always had a sort of a smirk on his face, "So you thought working here would bring you that peace of mind?"

"Yes, I do. I think this place would be great to work at. I'll work as much as you want me too. Please hire me!" Shadow's eyes sparked with determination.

Grillby got out from behind the bar and walked over to the girl, extending his hand to her, "Alright, when can you start?"

The girl grinned at Grillby and took his hand to shake. She noted that his hand was really warm to the touch, was that from the fire? Meanwhile the snow haired man looked rather annoyed at his friend's decision.

"I can start right now if you'd like?" Her red eyes glittered as she shook his hand excitedly.

"Now huh? Alright, let me fetch you an apron then." Grillby let go of her hand and started walking to the back, "Oh yes, I want you here nine to five, Mondays through Fridays, and I'll pay you fifteen dollars an hour. Sound good?"

"Yes, sounds perfect. Thank you so much Sir!" Shadow bowed in thanks at Grillby and he chuckled at her politeness.

The snow hair man turned to Shadow as Grillby went to the back to get some things, "I'm Sans by the way, Sans the Skeleton."

"Huh? But you're not quiet boney enough to be a skeleton. I wouldn't know if you're lying though, I can't see through you." Shadow giggled a bit at her puns.

"Heh, that's pretty good kid. I guess you have a skeleton of puns up your sleeves as well huh?" Sans laughed and held out his hand.

"Oh I totally forgot to introduce myself, I'm Shadow Knight! Nice to meet you!" The girl joyfully took his hand in hers and shook it twice before letting go. However the sound of a whoopie cushion could be heard causing her to giggle a bit.

"Old whoopie cushion in the hand trick, it's always funny." He smirked a bit and said that line as if it was rehearsed.

Grillby's laugh could be heard from the back as he listened to the conversation. Sans sighed a little but he no longer looked upset about having a human working at the restaurant. Shadow and Sans fell quiet and waited for Grillby. Shadow had to say though, Sans was really hot, even though Grillby was on fire.

Grillby came back with the apron and some cleaning supplies. The action was enough for Shadow and she started tying on the apron then cleaning up the place. The two kept talking for hours till it hit five.

"Shadow", Grillby called, "Your shift is over, and this place looks great. We'll be fully open for business tomorrow. I'll see you at nine."

Shadow started untying the apron then bowed once again, "Thank you Sir, I will see you tomorrow."

With that she headed out to go home. Soon her days were filled with this, and slowly the restaurant was filled with people, well "monsters". Her weekdays became really busy till Friday where she ran into Sans right when her shift ended. She hadn't seen him since the day she started, so this was her first real chance to talk to him.

"Hey kid", he greeted cooly, his voice as smooth as ever.

"Oh, hiya Sans! How are you?" Shadow chirped.

"I just finished working for the day and wanted to relax, ever tried the food here?" He asked.

"Sadly no, I'd also really like to try the drinks here." Shadow sighed a bit.

"Drinks? Aren't you a little young for that?" Sans had a confused look on his face.

"Oh no, I'm 22. I can drink just fine, I also walked to work so I don't have a car to worry about either", Shadow chimed, giggling a little to herself, "People tend to think I'm like 17 a lot though."

"I guess I shouldn't be calling you 'kid' then huh? Your name is Shadow right? I think I'll call you Shad."

"Shad? I don't really like it, how about Shad-y. Just add a 'y' at the end."

"Hmmmm", Sans started to think but shook his head, his smirk getting bigger, "Shad is perfect. So how about I treat you to dinner and some drinks Shad?"

Shadow sighed but smiled and nodded in the end. The two took a seat at the bar, Grillby raised an eyebrow but left it alone. After orders of burgers and drinks were taken the two fell into an easy conversation.

"Gin, huh? Didn't think such a small thing like you would like that stuff." Sans says while slowly sipping his whisky.

"Oh yeah, I really like this stuff. The taste is rather interesting if you ask me. Anyways, what do you do for work?"

"I'm a private tutor actually", Sans says with a slight annoyed look on his face, just thinking about his job seemed to piss him off a bit.

"Really? I never would have thought that by looking at you" Shadow giggled, drinking more of her gin with a satisfied look on her face.

"What about you? I know you work here but you must have goals and dreams."

"I want to be a game designer. I'm taking online classes for it right now. It's a lot of work so I have to take one or two at a time so I can still pay all my bills and such, and manage to have proper time for it."

"Those are some big goals ki- I mean Shad."

"I suppose, but I'm determined to get there it's my dream! What about you? Any dreams?" Shadow asked smiling softly at him. She was on her second gin by now and her face was getting a little red.

"I really don't have any. Just need to make enough for Paps and myself to live comfortably. Paps is still in highschool after all." Sans said with a smile thinking about his brother.

"Who is Paps?"

"Oh, Papyrus is my brother, I call him Paps for short though."

"I like it, maybe if I ever meet him I'll ask him if I can call him that too!"

"I'm sure he'll let you. What are you doing tomorrow? Some friends are coming over for an anime night, and I'm sure most of them would love you", Sans smiled at Shadow when he asked, also on his second drink now but seemly unaffected by it.

"I love anime! My favorite anime is Fairy Tail! Have you guys seen it? If not I have to show you, the feeling of family and friendship is so strong and amazing. There's super awesome battles, and super amazing characters!" Shadow's eyes sparkled as she went off on her Fairy Tail tangent.

Sans laughed a little at the girl, "I'll take that as a yes then. Also no, we haven't seen it, I guess we can put it on tomorrow to celebrate you joining us."

"Really? Really? Omg that'd be so cool!" Shadow suddenly hugged the man.

Sans' face turned a bright blue instead of red as he was trying to figure out what to do about this girl hugging him. After a while, he decided to just hug her back. Strangely enough both seemed pretty comfortable with it in the end.

After a while Shadow let go of him and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I get that way when I drink. I'll try really hard to be good though!"

So the night went on like that. The two ended up getting to know each other pretty well by the end of it. Shadow got a little drunk and Sans, who was tipsy himself, decided she shouldn't walk home alone like that. With that Sans took her arm and the two stubbled out into the night.
