Friday 2pm

Frisk had been walking home from school alone thinking. She needed time to clear her thoughts and focus on herself. On her way home she had passed by a kitchen appliance store, and in the window was a recipe book. "101 ways to prepare a snail." Toriel's birthday was coming up soon, Frisk knew she would love that as a present. The only issue was she didn't have any money to get it. She couldn't borrow it from Tori, that wouldn't be right. She had to earn it on her own, but how? A job? Yeah, that would be the only way to get it. The question was where exactly could she work at.

The next few days Frisk had been looking for a job that was hiring, but so far no luck. No one would look at her resume, nor give her time to interview her. It was always a flat out no in the beginning… Why was this happening? Why did no one hire her? Was she useless? Was she not good enough? She decided to keep going.

The thought of a job being out there for her, it filled her with determination.

Frisk headed off to another store where they were hiring, it was a small clothing shop. She had asked to speak to the manager about a job. When she did, the girl behind the counter said to leave. Why did this keep happening?

"I will not leave until the manager speaks to me," Frisk said with determination.
"Look kid, I can tell you right now, if you're looking for a job, you're not gonna get it," the girl said.
"But why? Can't you at least let me speak with them before you make that assumption, I'm a hard worker and I'm filled with determination!" Frisk said starting to get frustrated.
"Listen kid. Why on earth would the manager, who hates monsters, hire the kid who freed them all?"

So that was it. That was the reason no one wanted her. The child, so filled with determination, hated for it. Frisk was so used to being around monsters and loving them unconditionally, she forgot others wouldn't feel the same way…

Frisk left the store, heartbroken, she couldn't do anything about this discrimination. How blind could she have been? Not to see this?

Frisk sat down on a curb, she sighed, and thought about her next move. What about Toriel? What was she to do now? Losing her heart and faith, she started to breakdown and cry. As she continued to cry someone came over to comfort her.
"Darling, what's wrong?"
Frisk had looked up from her lap to see Mettaton wrapping his arm around her. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve and sniffled.
"Oh, hey Mettaton, nothing's really wrong," Frisk said forcing a smile.
"I doubt that's true, come on tell me why you're crying," Mettaton said trying to comfort her.
"Sorry, I'm…I'm just down a bit because I wanted to buy a present for mom, but no one will hire me."
"Oh darling! Why didn't you just say so! I'll absolutely hire you!" Mettaton said with pride.

With that, Frisk felt better; She knew there would always be hate in the world, but those who truly care will always be there for her.

Frisk then began to work at MTT Burger and became Burgerpants' co-worker. Frisk always had a beautiful smile on her face, while Burgerpants had that kind of tortured forced smile on his face. Seven years later and he was still working here, guess he didn't get much of a second chance as he thought. He was glad to have his little buddy around though, Frisk was a way to vent. Burgerpants enjoyed talking to Frisk and letting out his emotional stress out while she comforted him. Frisk really found enjoyment in working for Mettaton.

Frisk was still in emotional distress from the fact that she was discriminated against her own kind-

No.

Even if they were all humans, they weren't like her, they weren't the same. Her kind didn't belong with those who hated her, they belonged with those who loved her. She smiled. Her family was her kind, she belonged with them.

Frisk soon earned enough money to buy Tori the recipe book. She went into the store and purchased the book in the window. Once she got home, she had to be careful; she made sure Toriel wouldn't see what she was holding. She wanted it to be surprise.

Wednesday 8:30am

Frisk woke up by herself in her bed, she felt a bit of pain in her head. Frisk couldn't recall if she bumped her head or something, oh well. She looked at the clock and sprang out of bed, she was going to be late! As she was getting ready, she realized it was Toriel's birthday today. As she was about to head out the door she grabbed the nicely wrapped gift and ran to school.

Once school had ended Frisk raced to the elementary school where Toriel taught the younger ones. She walked down the halls and tried to find Tori's room. The kids were in recess now and Toriel was sitting at her desk grading papers.
"Mom!" Frisk shouted.
Tori jumped a bit, but laughed as soon as she saw who was calling her.
"My, my, what are you doing here Frisk?" Toriel asked. Frisk then held up the present to Toriel's face.
"Happy Birthday!" Frisk said happily.

Toriel looked as if she were about to cry. She took Frisk into her arms and hugged her tightly. Frisk was happy. So what if others didn't like her or any of the monsters? She loved them, and they loved her. That's all that mattered. Frisk sighed happily, there was nothing better than this.
