Chara placed the noodles with pesto sauce she and Papyrus created on 9 different plates with equal servings and placed the vegetables the same way, excluding them from one plate. The children were already at their places, leaving 2 open spaces beside Chara, where to her left, she placed Flowey, and to her right Frisk sat next to Toriel. They engaged in conversation, mainly staying in their own conversations and not really focused on eating.

"BROTHER, I HELPED MAKE THIS!" Papyrus cheered.

"that's cool bro." Sans looked to Frisk and back to picking at his plate.

"I just can't believe it! Gerson won't let me do what I want to!" Undyne groaned.

"Yeah…you could totally learn all those moves!" Alphys nodded.

"So what do you think we're going to do today guys?" Asgore asked around.

Toriel looked over to Frisk as Frisk calmly ate her food. "So, what do you like to do Frisk?"

"Um…I-I like to read…play board games with Flowey…Practice jokes to myself…" Frisk listed off, nervous that the room got quiet when she spoke.

"I HOPE THEY'RE BETTER THAN MY BROTHER'S PUNS…" Papyrus groaned.

"aw bro, ya don't mean that!" Sans nudged his brother.

"YES I DO!" Papyrus turned to Frisk. "PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T JUST HAVE PUNS!"

"W-well…"

"Frisk! It looks like you're done eating!" Flowey exclaimed suddenly and pointed to Frisk's plate. "Mom, can Frisk and I play for a while?"

"Since you both have finished, yes." Chara nodded.

Frisk smiled and took their plates and Flowey's pot off of the table, putting the plates in the sink, and into the playroom. "I wanna go to!" Undyne announced.

"No," Chara retorted, "you've not finished your lunch."

"B-bu-"

"If you want to have strong magic and muscles to be a guardsman, you must eat all that you can in order to grow." Chara pointed out.

Sans quickly finished and pushed his chair out. "welp, i'm gonna go play teach."

"Take in your dish." Chara warned with a glare.

"O-okay…" Sans quickly took it in, before fleeing to the playroom.

"I need to learn how to do that." Toriel whispered.

Frisk was picking up a card to a partially started SORRY! game that Chara had brought with her. With Frisk being red and Flowey being green. "I got a Sorry card!" Frisk gasped.

Flowey looked at his only green piece on the board, which was right in front of Frisk's safe zone. "Grash darn it!" Flowey screeched causing Frisk to giggle.

"hey," Sans walked up to the pair, causing Flowey to grow protectively in front of Frisk. "mind if i join?" Frisk stayed quiet, before nodding once. Sans sat down and brought out the blue peices. "could we reset the game?" Frisk and Flowey shivered causing Sans to give them questioning looks. "all right. if that's the case, why don't we play a different game?" Sans's eye glowed so one was an outline with blue forming a circle and the other was pure black.

Frisk stepped back in fear, feeling a tugging sensation from deep within as the monster tried to touch her soul. Flowey glared and threw pellets at the skeleton. "Can't you see you're scaring her!?" He growled.

"all i was doing was trying to show her something!" Sans stamped. Undyne came in, hiccuping from eating too fast.

"What *hiccup* were ya tryin *hic* to show?" Undyne skipped up to Sans.

"oh, just a little game i call, 'nap time.'"

"BROTHER! YOU ARE SUCH AN EMBARRASMENT!" Papyrus came stamping in causing Sans to chuckle and a distraction for Frisk to get away.

And as Sans watched her slip away, he couldn't help but a nagging sensation in his soul pulse as a slight baby blue dusted very lightly on his cheekbones. Not enough for Undyne or Papyrus to notice, but 2 quiet children that had been the subject of Sans's teasings notice.
