There was a brown haired girl just standing in a dark looking area where nothing was seen. "Hello?" she spoke. "Is anyone there?" She looked behind her to find an echo flower grow in front of her. "Huh, what is that?"
All of a sudden the sound of a phone alarm was heard and it was all a dream. She woke up in her bedroom. "Oh, it was just a dream" She said still drowsy. "Wonder what that was all about."
"Medusa!" said a voice from downstairs. "Are you ready for school?"
"Yeah dad." Medusa said as she picked up her phone. She got her books and put them in her backpack. She saw a letter on the floor that her dad gave her earlier.
"I wonder what my mom said." Medusa said softly, she began reading it. "'My Dear Daughter, I must let you know that I am in Herbal City for a reason, and soon you will be too. If you are confused about your name, Medusa in greek mythology was the most beautiful person of all until she was cursed by Zeus, even if her look changed, she always had inner beauty, like you. Your mother, Arial.' Herbal City, huh.." She thought to herself, then she went downstairs and rushed to the door.
"Have a good day Medusa." the dad said.
"Thanks dad." Medusa responded with a smile. "Love you." She closed the door and was heading to school.
Medusa was at her locker and it was free period. A boy came up to Medusa. "Hey Medusa." He greeted.
"Hey Samuel." Medusa replied. "Whats up?" she asked. (ps Samuel is Medusa's close friend)
"Well, I've been meaning to ask you something." He asked slightly blushing. "Do you wanna go... study in the library?"
"Um... yeah, sure" She answered. They walked in the direction of the library.
They were in the library kind of hanging out. Samuel was looking for a book and Medusa was reading some news on a computer. "Hey, take a look at this!" she says to Samuel.
"'Local Pizzeria in Herbal City hires a skeleton and fish lady'?" Samuel reads. "I dont follow."
"There are monsters residing in Herbal City." She said with a bit of excitement. "That's where my mom is."
"Huh. Is your mom there a lot?" Samuel asks.
"She's been there since I was two." She said with her eyes watering a little. "I was just wondering my entire life why she's been there."
Samuel put his arm around Medusa. "Its ok, we can fly there and check it out."
She stops sobbing. "Ok, hold on a second." Medusa sends her dad a text asking if she and Samuel could go fly to Herbal City. "He says its ok!"
"Alright." Samuel said. "Lets go."
They fly to Herbal City a few days later. They just arrived and have exited the airport.
"Wow." Medusa said. "This city looks so amazing!"
"It is." Samuel replied. "Look at that mountain over there!" He pointed towards Mt. Ebott.
As they were heading toward the street, a taxi drove in front of them. The window scrolled down with a strawberry-blonde girl with two ponytails on each side if her head. "Hey there!" The girl had greeted them. "Need a ride?" She asked with enthusiasm.
"Yes, we do." Medusa responded.
"Cool. Name's Chloe Clover." Chloe said while putting a peace sign above her head.
"My name is Medusa." She said as she got in the back seat.
"And my name is Samuel." He said as he got in the seat next to Medusa.
"Alright, I know the best hotel in this city." Chloe started the taxi and they were driving at a moderate speed. Chloe's phone beeps and she reads the text. Suddenly she changed the direction and that were going a lot faster.
"Wah!" Medusa screamed. "What's going on?!"
"Sorry, change of plans." She said with a happy expression. "It's gonna be a little bumpy."
"Why is it so bumpy?!" Samuel asked in a concerned voice.
"Because I'm in a hurry." Chloe said giggling a bit. They arrive at a half burnt pizzeria with a fish lady, a tall skeleton and a short skeleton with a hoodie.
"SANS, WHY ARE WE JUST STANDING HERE?!" The tall skeleton yelled.
"*welp." Sans said. "*we need a getaway before that chef comes out with a knife or something."
"Yeah, that chef was pretty unhappy when we did that." Said the fish lady.
Chloe got out of the taxi. "Hey guys, need a lift?" Chloe asks while opening the taxi doors.
"*yep. Papyrus and Undyne got fired by setting the place on fire." Sans said while he was getting in the taxi.
"Thanks Chloe" said the fish lady as she was also getting in the taxi.
"Your welcome Undyne." Chloe said as she closed the door when she went in the taxi. Chloe started the taxi and drove off.
"*say..." Sans said. "*how come your always available whenever we need a taxi?"
"Everyone else is busy I guess." Chloe answered nervously.
"WAIT, WHO ARE THESE OTHER HUMANS IN THE CAR?" Papyrus asks.
"Oh, right." Chloe started to answer. "Guys, this is Samuel and Medusa."
"HELLO HUMANS. I'M PAPYRUS!"
""*heya, name's Sans."
"And I'm Undyne."
"Hey there." Medusa said. "Well it's nice to meet you."
"Say, I have a question." Samuel said. "How did that place end up on fire?"
"WELL." Papyrus replied. "WAS COOKING MY SPAGHETTI..."
"And then I turned up the heat!" Undyne yelled.
"*and then the oven burst in flames and the owner threatened to call the army." Sans answered.
"That's a little extreme for an accident like that." Chloe commented.
"*well, maybe he didn't like feeling the burn." Sans chucked after saying his joke while Undyne and Papyrus were mildly annoyed.
"SANS!" Both Papyrus and Undyne yelled.
"Come on guys, it's funny." Chloe said. "After all, Sans does have a funny bone." Chloe started giggling and Sans snickered.
"YOU'RE NOT HELPING CHLOE!" Papyrus yelled.
"Anyway." Undyne said. "Just take us to Alphys' lab"
"Who's Alphys?" Samuel asked.
" THE USED-TO-BE ROYAL SCIENTIST." Papyrus answered. "NOW SHE JUST WORKS AROUND AND WATCHES ANIME."
Chloe slows down and parks the taxi. She looks at Alphys' lab to see what appears to be an army van and some soldiers. "Hey guys, who are those people in front of Alphys' lab?" Chloe asked.
"*huh. i dunno." Sans replied.
"Let's go check it out." Medusa said. They all got out of the taxi and went up to them.
One of the men held their gun up trying to block them for going to the front door. "Freeze!"
Another man did the same thing. "Let the people go and come slowly!"
Medusa was confused. "We aren't..."
"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! Undyne interrupted.
"THREATENING HUMAN. WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SPAGHETTI" Papyrus said.
"*uh, papyrus." Sans said. "*i dont think they want some spaghetti."
"Um, officer?" Samuel said nervously to get his attention. "We're actually..."
"...Completely fine." Chloe said, finishing the sentence. "These guys aren't doing anything bad"
"Listen children." The man said. "You wouldn't understand."
"So move it!" The other man said.
"Just leave us alone." Medusa said to them.
"What was that?" The man said.
"I said to leave us alone and that's final!"
"Psst!" Said Alphys hiding behind the taxi.
Chloe heard and silently headed over to her. "What is it Alphys?"
"Look, these guys have my whole lab surrounded." Alphys explained. "I'm going to need you to drive us to somewhere they can't find us."
"*huh, two getaways in one day." Sans said. "*must be our vacation."
"Sorry to be leaving so early but we have to." Chloe said to the men as she got into the taxi. The other characters get in the taxi.
"Medusa, we need to go." Samuel said, about to get in the taxi.
"None of you are going anywhere!" The man said, holding his gun ready to fire.
"No. Not until they actually leave us alone." Medusa said kind of trying to be brave.
"I'm sorry." Said a women's voice. "You WILL leave them alone!" She appeared in front of Medusa and draws a sword out.
"FIRE!" The man yelled and the other men started firing.
"All of you, GO! I'll hold them off as best as I can!" The women yelled, using her sword to block the bullets and uses her cape to protect Medusa.
"Medusa!" Chloe worried. "We have to go NOW!"
"You must go too Medusa!" The women said, while still blocking with her sword.
"No, I want to help- Wait, how do you know my..." Before Medusa could finish the sentence, Samuel came out and pulled her to the taxi and put her in.
"Alright guys, this is gonna be rough." Chloe steps on the gas reallyhard and started driving.
Everyone in the taxi screamed as they drove off really fast.
"Where are we going!" Undyne yelled.
"I'M GETTING DIZZY..." Papyrus said.
"That way!" Alphys yelled.
"On it!" Chloe answered as she made a hard left turn.
"*heh, i thought Chloe was right, but i left the decision to Alphys" Sans joked as the taxi made the turn.
"SANS! NOT NOW!" Papyrus yelled.
"We are being chased by some strange people and all you wanna do is JOKE AROUND?!" Undyne yelled in Sans' face.
"Can you guys argue later for the sake of the driver?!" Chloe yelled with frustration.
"*WHY ARE WE YELLING?" Sans yelled.
"BECAUSE WE'RE PANICKING!" Samuel answered.
"We're here!" Alphys told Chloe.
Chloe steps on the brake only to head to the end of the street with a stone wall. "Alphys, its a dead end." Chloe said worrying a bit.
"Give me a second." Alphys pulled out a remote and clicked a button. Part of the stone opened up like a door.
"Woah, that's cool Alphys." Undyne said as she got out of the taxi.
"How about we GET IN?" Chloe said panicking.
Everyone got inside the door. It was a chrome themed living room that has a couch and a tv. With a hallway with a bunch of rooms and a stairway to more rooms. Alphys clicks a few buttons on a keypad and the door closes. "All right, the coast is clear."
"What is this place?" Chloe asked while sitting on the couch.
"It's a-another lab of mine I kept secret in case I needed to hid or evacuate." Alphys answered nervously.
"So we have to hide now because of those punks?!" Undyne asked with rage.
"WELL, I FOR ONE IS OK WITH THIS AS LONG AS SANS STOPS DOING PUNS AND I MAKE SPAGHETTI." Papyrus stated.
"*sorry paps, can't make any promises." Sans said while coming out of the kitchen with a hot dog in his hand.
There was a knock on the door. "W-who is that?! I thought no one knew where this place was!" Alphys said while panicking.
"It's me." It was a muffled voice of the women from earlier. "They're all gone. You can open the door for me."
"Hey, that sounds like that women from before." Undyne said looking through a camera connected to a screen above the keypad.
"Let her in." Medusa said. Alphys then entered the code and Medusa let the women in.
"Thank you." she said closing the door behind her. "They won't bother us for a few days but we still need to hide. As well as bring all the monsters to Alphys' hidden lab."
"Dont worry miss, we'll help all of them." Undyne said. "HEY PAPYRUS, GET THIS PLACE READY FOR GUESTS!" She yelled.
"WILL DO UNDYNE!" Papyrus said as he headed towards the rooms.
"Wait." Medusa said to the women. "I, uh, never caught your name."
"Oh, my name is Arial." She answered. "You look just as beautiful as I thought you'd grow up to be Medusa."
"Thanks, its nice to see you again mom." Medusa said sobbing a bit.
"I know it was wrong for me to leave you like that but those men have been anticipating monsters' return for years. I just needed the information I can get so i can help protect them." Arial explained to Medusa while hugging her. "I'm sorry."
"Its ok." Medusa sniffles, hugging her back. "I understand your reasoning."
"*welp, sorry this problem had to surface you guys." Sans said to Chloe and Samuel.
"It's alright Sans." Samuel replied.
"Hey, maybe we can help you guys evacuate the monsters." Chloe said as a suggestion.
"That's a good idea" Medusa said.
"Count me in." Samuel stated
"We appreciate the thought guys..." Undyne said. "...but how are you guys going to defend yourselves?" She asked.
"I think I know how to help them with that." Alphys said.
"If you're all going to help, then you must reside here until we know all the monsters are safe." Arial said.
"Ok. I'll let my parents know." Chloe said as she went in the other room to call her parents.
"Guess we're not here to sight-see anymore." Samuel said to Medusa.
"Nope, not when we need to help ensure a future for humans and monsters." Medusa said.
