Disclaimer: I do not own Undertale or much of the plots I use.

Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: So I blame PTA Sans for this, but I finally decided to get involved in the Undertale Fandom. I figured that I could do something that could expound upon the characters we know and love. This is the end of the pacifist run and right when Frisk frees everyone from the barrier. I have a few things I want to mention before we get to into it.

1. Frisk, in this universe, is a girl. I won't hear cheese about misgendering or that she's gender neutral. She's gender interpretive. You decide the character's gender, and therefore, I think she's a girl. Frisk is a girl, Kid (Monster Kid) is a boy, and Chara is a girl. I feel as though I should also mention that Napstablook is a boy and Mettaton is naturally a girl but has been transgendered robot wise into a boy. (Keep in mind Mettaton still acts like a girl, but I will refer to him as a he.) I feel as though I need to come flat out and say the genders I'm using in this fic.

2. Frisk can't speak, she can only sign. Whenever I use ' ' then that'll be Frisk 'talking'. I understand it might not be accurate with canon, but I've always believed Frisk couldn't speak. Besides, I think it makes her more adorable. (Also, the reason everyone can understand Frisk's sign language is because Grillby also signs.)

3. This isn't just Sans based. This story is about the monsters getting adjusted on the surface. It could range from Frisk adjusting back with humans or about how Undyne adjusts to being non-violent (mostly). (PTA Sans will be involved, mind you, just not the main attraction.)

4. Toriel is Frisk's mom, yes. However, Sans is not the father. If anything, he's more of Frisk's uncle. Same with Papyrus. Undyne, Alphys, and Mettaton are Frisk's aunts. Asgore will be the father eventually, since the main characters will be living with each other. (Also, while I may openly ship Sans/Frisk, for this fic, that's not happening. It'd be a bit weird considering where I'm going with this fic.)

5. Contrary to most other stories, Flowey goes to the surface too. He's under probation and under constant watch from Frisk, but Flowey's there. I just thought I'd make myself perfectly clear. (If you've watched the fanmade fight between Flowey as a flower, then consider it kind of like that.)

I think that's everything for now. I hope you guys enjoy this wonderful journey with me!

Prologue: Home

"So… would you like to come live with me?" Toriel said.

It had been a long day for the young Frisk. She had not only beaten Asriel with her words, but she also managed to break the barrier and let her new monster friends pass through the barrier they were trapped behind for a millennia. After agreeing to be the monsters' ambassador, Frisk was approached by Toriel with the offer to live with her.

Frisk stared up at Toriel, a smile on the young girl's face. 'I want to live with mom,' she signed, making Toriel blush.

"Then you shall, my child," Toriel said, picking up Frisk in one giant swoop.

'But you have to promise me something!'

"Anything, my young Frisk."

'Daddy lives with us too!'

Toriel blushed, looking downward. "I'm sorry Frisk… but I will not associate myself with that filth. He hurt me dearly… and I cannot…"

'People change momma!'

Toriel looked at Frisk, a small tear exiting her eye. "You're right, my dear," Toriel sighed. "Maybe… maybe it's time I give Gorey another chance…"

'Yay! Can Uncle Sans and the Great Papyrus live with us too?'

"Um, hold on Frisk…"

"WHAT IS THIS ABOUT LIVING WITH THE GREAT PAPYRUS?!" Papyrus said, returning to the area Frisk and Toriel were. He had a giant smile on his face. "I THINK LIVING WITH MY FIRST HUMAN FRIEND FRISK WOULD BE A WONDERFUL IDEA!"

"H-h-h-h-hold on," Toriel blushed.

"Hey, punk!" Undyne said, holding up her spear menacingly as she approached Frisk. "You forget about me?"

'Can Undyne live with us too, mommy? Alphys too!'

"I w-w-w-wouldn't mind," Alphys said timidly from behind Undyne. "I could always f-f-f-f-fix Mettaton up a little more and he can live with us…"

'Yeah! Please mommy?'

"Frisk, I…"

"Come on Tori," Sans said, suddenly appearing behind her. "What's the worst that could happen?"

Toriel looked at all of Frisk's friends. Then, she spotted Asgore standing not too far away from them, giving her a sad and remembering smile. In his hands… was a flower pot with a golden flower creature inside of it. Toriel stared at the flower… and tears welled in her eyes.

"Ok," she said. "We'll all live together. We're all a family. We can't be separated."

(A Few Months Later…)

It had been rough, integrating the monsters back into human society. Frisk couldn't say that it went completely smooth. Having a seven year old girl communicating to the leaders of the world was seen as more of a joke than anything. However, they began to take Frisk a bit more seriously when she brought in Flowey.

"Listen, I'm just a flower. I have no say in your decision," Flowey had said sweetly. "But listen close and listen well. In this world, it'd kill or be killed. You don't listen to what she has to say… and she'll let me loose. And the last time I was lose, I was a giant creature who bugged out the game I was originally in and basically freaked out every player who watched me turn into a massive freak of death and destruction. We wouldn't want that happening, now do we?"

Suffice it to say, the leaders listened to Frisk after that.

Frisk had managed to convince them to allow monsters to live in modern day society everywhere in the world. No monster nor human would be harmed. They would live in harmony, so long as the humans did not attack the monsters and vice versa. The leaders agreed, under the condition that the monsters agreed to abide by all laws as the humans do.

With the rules set in stone, each monster went off to explore the new world around them. All except for Frisk's family, as she now referred to them as. The nine of them decided to settle in a small community, in one giant house. When they showed up to look it over the first day, they all knew…

…it was perfect.

It was a three story house, one upstairs and a basement. There was a main living room, a giant kitchen and dining room (which Toriel was pleased with), and several bedrooms. It had a basketball hoop in the driveway (much to the pleasure of Undyne and Papyrus) and a giant backyard meant for gardening (much to the pleasure of Asgore).

The only one who had an issue with the house was Mettaton. "Darling, this house is cramping my style," Mettaton had said as they toured it. "Stars like me live big for the mansions, the glory, the fame! This… humble home is much too small!"

"H-h-h-h-h-hey Mettaton! I f-f-f-f-found some s-s-s-s-sort of studio in the basement!" Alphys called.

"How much is this lovely home sweetheart?"

Once they had paid for the house (Frisk had managed to help set up a system of converting gold into human money), the nine family members all moved in. Toriel, Undyne, and Papyrus each took a room on the main floor, Toriel and Undyne being close to the kitchen and Papyrus in a room without windows. Frisk and Sans both had a room upstairs, Sans making sure his room locked. Alphys, Mettaon, and Asgore all took the basement, Mettaton practically living in his studio and Alphys making a make-shift lab for her experiments.

The main issue was Flowey. No one really wanted to room with him, but that didn't really amount to much, since Flowey himself didn't really want to talk to anyone but Frisk and Papyrus. They also didn't want to risk him taking over the surface with his 'kill or be killed' mind-set. Finally, Alphys decided to make one of the basement rooms escape proof, turning it into a make-shift prison. Flowey could still get sunlight to sustain himself, but he'd be on one side of unescapable glass behind a bolted metal door. If Papyrus or Frisk wanted to talk to him, they could go inside, but there was no way for them to let Flowey out.

Most of the others were opposed to this idea… except for Flowey himself. "I remember the feelings I've felt before… but I can't hold on to them," Flowey had said. "I'll try to keep control… but it's best I'm locked up. No point in trusting myself right now, right?"

So it was agreed and Alphys set it up. Once Flowey was secure, Alphys had reassured everyone that if Flowey was reformed at one point and he did indeed trust himself to behave, she had integrated a device that would release Flowey. However, it was to only be used in emergencies, so Alphys kept the release mechanism hidden away in a spot that only she knew, just in case Flowey decided to sweet talk someone to try and let him out. (All eyes had gone to Papyrus, who had scowled and said, "WHAT? THE GREAT PAPYRUS WOULD NEVER FALL FOOL TO SWEET TALKRY!")

Once everyone had settled in, something had dawned on them. They were on the Surface. Their dream was truly complete. But they also knew something else. The only reason the dream was complete…

…was because they had a family to share their dream with.

BN: So there you have it! This was mostly just the introduction to the story, since I kind of needed some footing to launch off of. I figured I should establish a few things before I began the real story, like Flowey being detained for the most part and Asgore being 'on trial' so to speak. The way I plan on doing this is to make this in an episodic kind of story. Each episode (more often than not split into two parts) will follow one or more of the main characters as they adjust to Surface life. There will be a plot to this (eventually) but this is mostly for funny entertainment. So, if you have something in an episode you want to see, feel free to let me know! The first two episodes are planned, but after that, I'm open for suggestions you guys want to see these guys do!

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!

Next Time: After living in the house for a few days, the monsters decide it's high time they all find jobs. All except for Sans, who babysits Frisk for the day while Toriel tries to get Frisk enrolled in school. Hilarity ensues with our favorite characters... but also some seriousness.
