Our First Thanksgiving

Chapter 1.

Initially, I did not plan on doing this, I was just going to jump straight to an Undertale Christmas fic, but, I felt like it would be wrong to overlook Thanksgiving, plus, I have yet to see a SINGLE Undertale Thanksgiving fic. Though, it is completely understandable, since not EVERYBODY celebrates Thanksgiving, but, my family does and most people I know do, so, I thought it would be fun to do this. After my attempt at a Halloween fic was a complete bust, hopefully this will turn out a little bit better, especially since I am not waiting until the very last minute this time.

Also, for the sake of my fic chronology (as this is still following TLTLUH), Asriel is already in School by this point; yeah, I intended to do a fic about that, but, it just got away from me. I had ideas for it, but, I had a hard time thinking of how to make it good, since, school-centered stories tend to be the weakest (to me at least). What I might do, if I can find the right place in the right story, I will have Asriel's first day of school told via flashback OR if I CAN come up with something, it will be a prequel of sorts. I know it seems lazy, but, I just felt that by this point, he should be in school.

At the sound of the last bell of the school day, the children could not get out of their seats faster, immediately grabbing their stuff and heading out the door. As Toriel bid farewell to the students as they left the room, she was approached by her own children, Frisk and Asriel, the latter of the two having only recently joined the class.

"Ah, my children," the goat woman asked, "are you two ready to go?"

"Yeah, but, we needed to ask you about something first." Frisk said.

"Oh?" Toriel replied, "What is it?"

"Well, a lot of kids from other classes have been talking about their teachers giving them assignments and projects related to Thanksgiving," Frisk voiced, "and some of them have been asking us if our class was doing stuff like that as well."

"Some of our human classmates have also been wondering about it." Asriel added.

Toriel thought about it.

"Thanksgiving related assignments?" she mused, "Gee, I...have not really thought about that, as only recently have I actually heard of the holiday, I am still entirely sure what it all entails."

"I've never actually had a real Thanksgiving before," Frisk expressed, "but, I do know about the most important parts, plus, we all know that humans love sharing holiday related stuff online. I just know that we can find ideas for Thanksgiving related school stuff online too, the teachers share ideas there all the time."

"I have heard about that before," Toriel responded, "we should try looking when we get home."

"Yeah," Asriel said, "and since everyone has been talking about it, maybe some of our classmates will have ideas too."

After reaching their conclusion, the children and their mother met up with Asgore and finally made for home.

As soon as they got home, once Frisk and Asriel finished their homework, they and Toriel got on the computer to look for ideas for Thanksgiving themed school work. While they were looking, Papyrus entered the room.

"Hey," he wondered, "what are you guys doing?"

"Looking for Thanksgiving themed projects the kids can do for school." Toriel told him.

"Thanks...giving?" the tall skeleton responded curiously.

"It's a holiday celebrated by humans," Sans, who had been silently lying on the couch the entire time, watching TV, "well, certain humans that is."

"Really?" Papyrus replied, "What's it for?"

"Basically being grateful for everyone and everything you have." Frisk stated.

"Don't people do that every day?" the tall skeleton asked.

"Some do, but, some need to be reminded," the human boy affirmed, "plus, people use it as an opportunity to spend time people they don't get to see often...and gorge on an ungodly amount of traditional food."

"Wowie," Papyrus responded, "that sounds interesting."

Toriel and children continued to peruse the website they were on.

"Oh my," the goat woman said, "all of these options look good, I am not sure which ones to choose."

"Mom," Asriel offered, "maybe the class could decide."

"Yeah," Frisk suggested, "since everyone's talking about it anyway, you could write down some of the ones you think are best, tell the class about them, and let the students pick which ones we should do."

"Hmm, that does sound like fun," Toriel replied, "I think we will do that."

Come nighttime, after everyone had gone to bed, Sans got up and teleported himself to the kitchen to get something to drink. After noting the state of everything in the fridge, the skeleton grabbed a can of soda and walked into the living room as he drank it. It was then he noticed Toriel sitting at the computer.

"What are you doing?" he asked, "More school stuff?"

"No, all that is done," Toriel answered, not looking away from the computer screen, "I wanted to get another look at those Thanksgiving recipes the humans have been sharing online."

Sans walked up beside her to get a look at the computer screen.

"You planning on making something?" he wondered.

"Perhaps," the goat woman voiced, "we have already learned about and partaken in many of the other human holidays, so, why not this one? Plus, Frisk said he never had a real Thanksgiving before, so, I figured...maybe we could."

"Ah, I see," Sans replied, "yeah, I'd be down for that."

He took another drink from his can of soda, as he did, Toriel looked at him curiously.

"Why soda at 3:00 a.m.?" she questioned.

"Why internet browsing at 3:00 a.m.?" he countered.

"Fair enough." the goat mother stated.

Whoo, first chapter done.

A bit of a short chapter, but, this story probably will not be all that long, it is just a fun little holiday thing.
