On a sunny afternoon in Ebbot City, there was a woman named Elizabeth who ran an orphanage. She was a nice woman, beloved by the children she watched over, and well known for her kindness and tenacity when it came to finding each child a home, or the means to provide for them anything she could. She was an average sized lady, with piercing blue eyes, red hair, and a gentle smile. Unfortunately, her child count was rather high as companies moved shops out of state, or even the country. Many people were losing jobs, and being forced out of their homes. This lead some parents with children to give up their young so they can live a healthy life they deserve. She had seen many cases, but this one nearly brought her to tears.
Frisk Warren, was the daughter of Alice and Frank Warren. The child was born with an illness that nearly took her life, though through what doctors call a miracle, she was able to hold on long enough for treatment. However it did not go away, Frisk needed continual treatments, which costed quite a sum of money. Both of her parents were fully capable of doing so, as well as provide a happy home. Until a few months later when a robber pulled a gun on Frank, leaving Alice a single mother of a sick, yet determined child. Through her own determination, Alice was able to still keep Frisk alive, only to find out that the company she worked for was moving overseas, soon to leave her out of a job. This meant that this mother, who wanted only the best for her child, was forced to give her up. She received the one year old from the woman with tears in her eyes.
"Frisk my child...you will be happy here I...I promise, and….if I ever get back on my feet….I'll find you baby, I love you." with a kiss on the child's hand, the mother disappeared, preparing to do her best to survive in a world that seemed so very cruel.
Eight years later, Frisk was hiding behind an entry way as Elizabeth speaks to one of her financial advisors. They are talking about money and….Frisk's name came up as one of the most costly to care for.
"Miss Elizabeth, I know the circumstances are grim, but with these expenses you will either have to make other cuts, or send Frisk to a different orphanage. The last six parents that interviewed simply lacked the income." Elizabeth ran her hand through her hair, Frisk had heard this discussion before, it was time to finally do something. Legends say that those who go to never return, maybe Miss Elizabeth will be able to take better care of the other kids with her gone.
She took nothing but a stick with her, mainly because it was a nice looking stick, and eventually made it to the top. There she spotted a hole, however she would then trip on the vine, plummeting to the bottom, only to be saved by a patch of yellow flowers. Her journey was perilous, but through her determination, she saved the monsters of Mt. Ebbot and brought them to the Frisk aiding them as their mostly anonymous ambassador, It took time, but monsters were able to obtain permission to live within the city. The humans of this city were more curious than anything, and the home building actually provided more jobs. Grillby and Muffet moved their businesses topside, and the Temmies had their own Tem themed shop. Sans, Papyrus, and Toriel were living happily together. When Grillby's moved to the surface, Sans talked him into adding a karaoke and stand up comedy area. It turned into a hit and thus Grillby considered Sans' tab payed….for now. Sans himself worked every couple of days doing stand up comedy.
"ok so when we monsters came up we heard about this thing called 'Christianity' and it has a lot of fables and stories. i think the funniest one is the one with king Solomon and the baby. 'oh you know not to cut a freaking baby in HALF, you must be the mother! it's like if someone was trying to cut a dog in half and im just like 'hey, how about you don't do that' oh you must be the owner!"
Toriel was able to open her own school containing both humans and monsters, and Papyrus mainly spent his time working with Mettaton, Frisk, and Asgore in a project they were doing to aid the homeless in the city. Undyne became a drill instructor for the Ebbot city police, survival rates went up, along with successful arrests and fewer people committing crimes . Alphys was working day and night trying to identify the illness that was plaguing Frisk. At the rate the current medication was going, supplemented with monster magic, Frisk had longer...but soon there would be visable signs of the disease's advancement. Asgore became the school's gardener, making nice flower mazes ( With the help of Papyrus and Undyne….he decided not to add traps and fire.) and hedges, including one in the shape of Papyrus' smiling face.
All in all, things looked good for the monster kingdom, but there was one more task they had at hand.
Frisk got up early in the morning, today was the day they would officially be adopted by Toriel. There was a knock on the door.
" knock knock."
"Who's there?"
" adopting"
"Adopting who?"
" adopting you kiddo, lets get going." Frisk smiled as she rushed to the door and pulled it open, flinging herself into a hug with Sans. A boney hand lightly patted her head.
" heh, alright, tori's signing some papers, you wanna say goodbye to elizabeth one last time?" Frisk nodded and she walked into the room, seeing Toriel at the desk, thoroughly reading and signing forms. Both she and Elizabeth looked at Frisk.
"Ah hello my child, it will take a few moments to have everything in order, but we shall be home soon." Frisk nodded and then looked at Elizabeth.
"Miss Elizabeth?" The woman walked over and knelt, she was about to speak, but was interrupted by a hug.
"Thank you for taking care of me…..sorry for running away." Elizabeth returned the hug. "Well, atleast you got one heck of a family out of it...there is something I need to give Toriel real quick." When the hug broke, Frisk looked at Elizabeth inquisitively. She had produced some papers and given them to Toriel.
"These are the documents concerning Frisk's biological parent…..should Frisky ever want to know about them, the information is here, but just….read it yourself beforehand miss Toriel." Toriel nodded
"Very well, and the work is done, I take it we can now go home?" Elizabeth smiled and nodded, and Frisk rushed into Toriel's arms.
"Yay, we can go home! Think we can have some pie for dinner tonight mom?" Toriel laughed
"Ah, I see, you only love me for my pie, I should have known….."
"What? Noooooo!"
"Hah, I am only teasing you my child, we shall see." Sans was in the background, with his cell phone out, texting to Alphys.
" yo alphys, the cat is in the cradle, is operation good times ready for action?"
" Affirmative, Undyne and Papyrus are set, Mettaton is in position, and Asgore has returned the goods, and the marathon of this Gravity falls show Frisk wanted to binge with us is prepared." Sans put away his phone and sat in the back with Frisk telling jokes the whole way home. Frisk blinked and suddenly Sans was gone, and so was Toriel. Frisk walked down the driveway and into the dark house when suddenly the lights came on and she was immediately caught between Undyne and Papyrus' arms.
"YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN CAPTURED HUMAN!"
"We got somethin set up just for you punk!, but first….FRIENDSHIP SUPLEX"
"Wait nooooo please spare me Undyne!" Except Undyne wound up suplexing both Papyrus and Frisk into a conveniently placed pile of blankets and pillows with a poof. Mettaton showed up with his fog machines and glitter, Asgore brought over a large cake, and they did, in fact, binge Gravity Falls to the very end. Today was a good day.
In the morning, Asgore rose early, he had sent out applications for a few gardening assistants, or those willing to learn. But these were no online applications, they were brought to one of the many homeless shelters for people in need of work, thus far, only one came in, someone called Alice Warren.
Authors note: Huh, what ever could be going on here? :P oh what, you expected me to jump right into skele-frisk? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no….not yet anyway ;) i've also decided on just updating whenever i finish each chapter, though i'll TRY for once a week or every two weeks.
