Chapter One: School Boredom

The alarm clock blared loudly, shocking the soulless flower awake. He cringed, having no hands to block the noise. He looked over at his roommate, who was still snoring away. Her brown hair was all in her face and some of it was in her mouth. She didn't even seem to notice the loud alarm clock. (note: Flowey's on the other side of the bed from the alarm clock)

"Chara!" Flowey shouted as loud as he could. "Turn off the damn alarm clock!"

Chara didn't respond (unless you count loud snoring as a response).

"CHARA!" Flowey shouted, leaning as close as he could to the former genocidist.

"Hey, punk!" Undyne shouted, kicking in the door, dressed in her Immortal armor (a made up name for the armor she wore in the genocide run). She punched the alarm clock, breaking it and bringing silence to the room.

"Undyne!" Flowey cried, genuinely happy. "My hero!"

"God, she sleeps heavier than Sans." Undyne said. "That alarm clock did nothing."

"Funny thing is…" Flowey said, thinking. "I don't remember her setting it."

"Then who did?" Undyne asked, her and Flowey both already thinking thoughts of revenge on whoever did it.

"Chara?" came Toriel's voice from outside the door behind the fish woman. "Chara, my child, are you awake?"

"So it was you!" Undyne and Flowey shouted, Undyne turning to face the goat woman. "What's the big idea of waking the whole house up except for Chara (and probably Sans)?!"

"Chara is a heavy sleeper." Toriel said. "I thought this would wake her up."

"Well, clearly it didn't!" Undyne shouted. Toriel then gave her a look that caused Undyne to shrink back in fear. Flowey got nervous at this point. Anyone who could scare Undyne the Undying with just a look was someone to be feared, even if they were his mother.

"SCARY HUMAN!" came the voice of Papyrus from down the hall before he ran in the door with Frisk, eyeing the situation. "WHY IS THERE ALL THIS COMMOTION!?"

"Chara won't wake up." Toriel explained. "Do you have any ideas Papyrus?"

"I DO!" Papyrus said, holding up a finger. "I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL MAKE THE SCARY HUMAN SPAGHETTI TO WAKE UP!"

"Good idea, bro." Sans said, teleporting in as Papyrus ran out of the room to make spaghetti.

"Wow." Undyne said, chuckling. "I'm surprised you're awake."

"It's time to go to Grillby's." Sans said. "I don't miss a chance to go to Grillby's."

"That you don't." Undyne said.

"So" Sans said, grinning. "What's the situation?"

"Chara won't wake up." Toriel said. "any ideas?"

"I got a good one.' Sans said as his pupils disappeared, leaving black sockets. He leaned over Chara, getting really close to her ear.

"heya." He said in a slightly demonic voice. "You've been busy, huh?"

The second he began the line Frisk clutched onto Toriel as hard as she could, her eyes wide and her body trembling. Her breathing quickened as she remembered Sans using the exact same line on her and Chara when Chara had dragged her on a genocidal run through the Underground.

"So, I've got a question for ya" Sans continued. Undyne clenched her fists slightly, knowing the exact speech. Even Flowey, who didn't have all of his emotions, shrank in the pot he was in, Sans having given him a fair share of resets as well using that exact same speech.

"Do you think even the worst person can change?" Sans said, his eye beginning to glow blue, scaring Frisk and Flowey even more. Toriel could sense the fear in her child's eyes. It took a lot to scare Frisk; she'd always been that way as long as Toriel had known her, even before high school. Something Sans simply said that could scare her simply by hearing it must have been terrifying.

Even Chara seemed to be reacting, her fists clenching and tightly clutching her bedsheets, a soft red glow beginning to emerge from her closed eye as her breathing quickened, even though she was still sleeping soundly.

"that everyone can be a good person" Sans continued, Chara sweating a good deal at this point. "if they just try?"

"Sans" Toriel said, a strange feeling washing over her. "What are you doing? You're scaring Frisk."

"heh heh heh, alright" Sans continued, ignoring Toriel. "Well, here's a better question."

Frisk buried her face in Toriel's dress, Undyne stepping behind Toriel. Toriel looked at Undyne, worried. Undyne and Frisk were about equal on what could scare them, but Sans seemed to be scaring both of them, including Chara. The fact that Chara seemed to be scared made Toriel worry. Chara had always been fearless, even compared to Undyne. But, if she was scared of Sans, who Toriel could never see as a scary individual, then, what experiences had they had in the past?

"Do you wanna have a bad time?" Sans asked, his eye flaming at this point. Chara jolted up with a yell, firing a Gaster Blaster out of reflex at Sans, who blocked the attack with a Gaster Blaster of his own. Chara's eyes were constricted, her breathing heavy as she clutched her chest over her heart, which was beating faster than Alphys' when she saw Undyne put on that one swimsuit she'd gotten that Mettaton had branded 'Scandalous'.

"Welp" Sans said, his eyes back to normal as well as his voice. "Kid's up."

"What's with that speech?" Toriel asked, Frisk looking cautiously from where her head was buried. Sans put his hand on her shoulder, chuckling.

"It's allright, kid." He said, his voice comforting. "I'm done. I'm not gonna dunk on anyone right now."

"Dunk on?" Toriel asked, knowing when the skeleton loved to use that phrase. "Why would you dunk on them, especially Frisk?"

"Tori" Sans said to his joke buddy. "There are things that happened before the barrier broke that really aren't worth mentioning. They don't matter now, they're in the past and those who did wrong paid for them."

"O-okay." Toriel said, looking at Sans suspiciously. Chara's vitals had returned to normal and she tried to fall back to sleep, but Toriel grabbed her by her shirt, keeping her awake by shaking her somewhere in between gently and roughly.

"So that's why she made us wear pajamas to bed." Flowey said.

"That" Undyne added under her breath. "and sleeping in the buff isn't exactly pleasant when certain monsters wake you up by yanking the blankets off."

"Agreed." Frisk said, nodding.

Chara got up and changed out of the underwear and t-shirt she was wearing and into the sweater she always wore. She would never admit it (and anyone who asked would get a knife held against their throat and the dark(er) side of Chara threatening them with a very painful death), but she wore that sweater because it was once the original Azriel's, the being that Flowey used to be before he became a flower, the first kind person Chara had ever known. Though Flowey was Azriel and Chara did have fun with him, she did miss her first real friend she'd made. She grabbed Flowey's flower pot walked next to Frisk.

Frisk and Chara went down to breakfast, where Papyrus had made (wonder of all wonders *sarcastic*) spaghetti. Chara chowed down on hers almost immediately, asking for more.

If Papyrus had smiled any wider, he'd have broken his jaw. He quickly made three pots of spaghetti, which Chara inhaled practically. Alphys, who was sitting next to her made a comment that Chara was eating as much as Goku. Chara replied with a comment (that was hard to understand because her mouth was full of spaghetti) that she'd love to go Super Saiyan, but until then she'd settle for Demon Mode (consider it her version of genocide mode Sans).

After eating, the two girls and Flowey headed off to school. Arriving, they departed ways, Chara taking Flowey and Frisk seeing Monster Kid.

"Hey Frisk!" Kid yelled, running over to Frisk, but falling on his face. He stood up, his standing wobbly for a second. He ran over to Frisk, who hugged him (just a note: Kid is about Frisk's height, just to clarify). They went to class, sitting down in their desks, which were next to each other.

Suddenly, Papyrus burst in the door. Frisk and Kid looked at the tall skeleton, confused.

"HUMAN!" Papyrus yelled at Frisk, his voice urgent. "I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM IN NEED OF YOUR ASSISSTANCE!"

The other students stared at Papyrus, who was wearing the 'battle body' he always wore, unless he wore his 'date outfit'.

"What's up, Papyrus?" Frisk asked, not worried (Papyrus had that urgent tone a lot).

"Excuse me." The teacher (not Toriel) said, looking at Papyrus. "I don't think you belong in this class. Please leave now."

"SORRY!" Papyrus said. "BUT, I REQUIRE THE ASSISSTANCE OF MY HUMAN FRIEND."

"Alright." Frisk said, both her and Kid getting up and following Papyrus.

"Hold on a minute." The teacher said, standing in front of Frisk and Kid. "Class is in session. You're not allowed to leave."

Frisk didn't do much to the teacher, just gently move her out of the way so that she and Kid could exit.

They followed Papyrus back to the house they all shared. Undyne was yelling at the stove, threatening it with a spear.

"What are you doing?" Frisk asked.

"This stupid stove is broken!" Undyne shouted.

"I can't fix it." Frisk said, shrugging.

"THAT'S NOT WHY WE REQUIRE YOUR ASSISSTANCE, HUMAN!" Papyrus said. "WE REQUIRE YOUR ASSISSTANCE FOR OUR COOKING CONTEST!"

"oh, okay." Frisk said as she and Kid sat down in front of the food Papyrus and Undyne made, eating all of both of them. They smiled, Frisk giving them both thumbs-up.

"So, who's better?" Undyne asked.

"Neither." Frisk and Kid said, Frisk shrugging.

"NeItHeR?!" they asked.

"Yep." Frisk said. "You're both great cooks."

With Chara and Flowey

Chara went to her seat, putting Flowey's pot on her desk. She immediately fell asleep, the teacher, who was Toriel, beginning her lecture. Eventually, she looked over at Chara, who was snoring softly.

"Chara!" she shouted, startling the former genocidist awake. "You are disturbing this class."

"If you'd have ignored me" Chara said, settling back down to go back to sleep. "I wouldn't have."

"Chara Sotura (soh-tur-uh) Dreemurr!" Toriel said, crossing her arms. "I won't tolerate this kind of behavior. I expect to see you after class."

"Of course you will." Chara said. "I live in the same house as you. We're related. You pretty much raised me."

"I may be your mother" Toriel said, which caused some students to look strangely at the two of them. "But, I don't want you sleeping in my class."

"Well, you won't let me sleep at home." Chara shrugged. "So, I'll have to make do here."

"Teenagers." Toriel sighed under her breath.

"Ooh, you're in trouble." Flowey teased Chara. Several students looked at the flower in surprise.

"Can it Azzy." Chara said. "I'm trying to snooze."

"I have the feeling that this is the way Papyrus feels about Sans' jokes." Toriel said to herself.

The rest of the day went by without a hassle, the group returning to the house.

"Hey." Frisk said, greeting them.

"Frisk." Toriel said. "Why are you home?"

"That would be us." Undyne said, pointing to herself and Papyrus. "We needed to settle a bet."

"And you got a letter." Frisk said. "It's from Asgore. He says coming by tomorrow and would like to see us."

"Oh, great." Toriel said, putting her fingers to her forehead. "He still doesn't know about me and Sans yet." (A/N: yeah, I totally ship this pair)

"What's that got to do with it?" Frisk asked.

"Asgore's the jealous type." Toriel said. "Though, I'm sure Chara would know that more than you. I just hope the evening goes fine."


So, Asgore's coming over? What will happen? Will he and Sans get into an argument? Find out next chapter.
