Frisk held the snow in her hand. It reminded her of Snowdin, and all the wonderful friends that she met there. Even though the snow was cold, and she was still wearing the blue jumper with purple stripes, the human wasn't cold. Suddenly, Frisk had an idea. The human got up and rolled up snow. In less than an hour, Frisk made a snow dog. Toriel came out of the house ready to yell at Frisk for being out in the cold without warm clothes on.
"Child, I know you are having fun, but I do not want you to catch a cold!" Toriel snickered. "I did not intend to make that pun. Get it? Catch a COLD?"
The human folded her arms, defiantly. Frisk did not want to go back in.
"I do not wish you to be ill, so please, child, come put some warm clothes on!"
Toriel grabbed the human's hand, and led her inside. Just then, Frisk got a call. The human answered it.
"…..oh….. you answered….. this is napstablook… i just wanted to say thanks… for cheering me in the underground….. and i want you to come see me and my friends preform songs i made….. its at a coffee house….. you should come see it…. or not….. or whatever. how did i get this number…? how am i able to even hold a phone…..? oh well…"
The ghost hung up.
"Another friend of yours?" Toriel asked. Frisk didn't reply. "I heard the whole thing. I think it would be great to go out to town! Just let me go get my things and I'll-"
Frisk tugged on Toriel's dress sleeve, as she shook her head. "Oh… You do not wish for me to go with you… Well, I suppose you could go alone… You've made it fine by yourself before! Alright. I allow you to go alone. But wear a coat!"
After running into the human's room, Toriel grabbed the biggest and warmest pink coat she could find. She also took mittens, and a purple scarf. When she got back, she dressed Frisk in the clothes. Afterwards, Frisk looked like a tiny bundled snowman, with only a small eye hole to peak out of.
"Stay safe!" Toriel shouted as the human waddled through the snow on the sidewalk.
After a safe distance was passed, Frisk dumped the extra clothing in a near-by trash can. It quite literally was a huge weight lifted off Frisk's shoulders, and what was a slow waddle became a fast paced walk. The coffee shop was just a couple blocks from Toriel's home.
When the child arrived, there was already a long line of monsters. Frisk saw no humans but herself. There was a sign on the brick wall next to the doors that led in. It read:
WELCOME MONSTERS!
We welcome you here by offering a MONSTERS ONLY night! There will be food, drinks, and lots of entertainment such as comedy, singers, dancers, and all other kinds performers! Bring your friends! Bring your family! NO HUMANS.
List of performances:

Even though the sign specifically said, "NO HUMANS", Frisk continued anyway. When she got to the front of the line, Undyne stood guarding the door. She looked surprised to see Frisk.
"Oh, human! Hey! What are you doing here?" Undyne smiled. The human seemed to want to know the same thing about her. "Oh, me? I'm the bouncer. Gotta make sure everyone's safe."
Frisk pointed at the sign. "Oh. It says, 'no humans' you know. But since you're my friend, I can let you squeeze past. But you owe me one," Undyne said as she winked, and let Frisk enter.
Inside, the seats were almost completely filled. She saw all sorts of monsters including Alpys, Gyftrot, Washua, Bratty and Catty, and many more. On stage, Sans stood with a microphone. He was telling bad puns that everyone seemed to enjoy. Frisk only saw three seats: two empty seats on either side of Papyrus, or a seat behind greater dog. Knowing that there was no way the human could see past greater dog due to Frisk's short height, she walked to the front and sat next to Papyrus. On the other side of Frisk, was Jerry.
Papyrus noticed her sit down, and welcomed Frisk. "HELLO HUMAN. WELCOME TO MY BROTHER'S PERORMANCE. I'M GUESSING YOU CAME FOR THE NEXT PERFORMNCE THOUGH, SEEINGS AS MY BROTHER'S TURN IS ALMOST AT AN END."
They watched as Sans made puns and jokes, and he even threw in a couple of hints towards his life in the Underground too. Frisk and Papyrus laughed at each joke, just as the rest of the room did. Sans really did know how to entertain the crowd. Even Jerry, who was almost always bored, had chuckled a bit.
"This guy is WAY better than that one Snowdrake guy." Jerry said quite loudly. Snowdrake was sitting right behind them. Frisk tried to ignore him.
"This guy actually knows how to make jokes. That other Snowdrake guy was TERRIBLE."
This time, Snowdrake heard. "What did you just say?"
Jerry turned around in his seat. "I said, your jokes were trash. Leave them in whatever trash can you got them from."
No wonder the other monsters always ditched him.
Snowdrake was getting angry. So angry, he was about to cry. "Shut up, Jerry!
Sans saw what had just happened and said, "hey you. the one with the smooth head, and the long arms."
"ME?" Papyrus asked excitedly.
"no. you. next to the kid. come on up here!" Sans pointed to Jerry. Papyrus frowned as Jerry turned around and smiled.
"Me? Ha! I knew I was special." He jumped onto the stage.
"now, i wanna give you a nice surprise. hey, fish lady!"
Undyne spun around as she was opening the door for a monster, and shouted, "YEAH?"
"see this guy right here? he's gonna get the special training, right here on stage!"
The fish woman grinned big. She ran as hard as she could, and then made a huge leap onto the stage. She faced the crowd. "Hey guys! We have someone special on stage!"
"Yeah you do. Jerry's the name." Jerry added proudly.
"Well... Jerry. I have a little thing to show you!" The fish grinned.
A Froggit broght out a metal trashcan and hopped off the stage. Undyne picked up Jerry, and slammed him into the trashcan. Many people in the coffee house cheered, especially Snowdrake.
"geeeetttttt dunked on!" Sans laughed.
Jerry poked his head out of the can. "Oh. I get it."
This time, a Whimsum carried the trashcan out the doors. Undyne followed. Sans dropped the mic and shrugged. "welp. that's it for me folks."
He hopped off the stage and sat down next to Papyrus. "DUMPING HIM IN A TRASH CAN MAY HAVE NOT BEEN THE NICEST THING TO DO, BROTHER."
Sans shrugged and winked at him. "i was just taking out the trash."
Mettaton then wheeled out onto the stage in his first body. "HELLO EVERYONE! WASN'T THAT A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE?"
The entire coffee house applauded. "YES, YES, THE SKELETON IS QUITE THE PERSONALITY STAR. BUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO WITNESS NEXT, WILL BLOW AWAY THE AUDIENCE. IT WILL HAVE ALL OF YOU ON YOUR FEET, YOU WILL ALL BE GREATFUL YOU ARE IN THE PRESENSE OF SUCH STARS! I NOW WELCOME, SHYREN, BLOOKY, AND OF COURSE, ME AND MY OTHER AMAZING BODY!"
Suddenly, a smoke machine went off. Behind the smoke, you could hear shuffling. After a while, the smoke cleared. On stage were Shyren, Napstablook, and Mettaton Ex.
On the left was Napstablook at his DJ station. He wore black headphones, and it was unclear how exactly he was able to use the DJ station without hands. After his life in the Underground, he became a famous DJ.
Shyren was next to him, without anything to amplify her humming. She now had a famous hit single named, "When You Say Goodbye It's Like Magical Bullets Are Slowly Flying Out of Your Mouth and Hitting Me" which can occasionally be heard on "Today's Hit's" radio station.
On the very right was Burgerpants, controlling the lights and smoke machine in a fake bush. He looked as though he did not want to be there. Sadly, Burgerpants did not become famous at all, for his life had been consumed by Mettaton. His boss hired him as a servant, and Burgerpants surely had no future ahead of him to look forward to. And maybe that was ok.
Finally, in the middle, was Mettaton Ex! He had not become the most important TV show host in the world quite yet, but he was on his way to fame. He smiled at the audience and bellowed, "Hello everyone. Are you ready for a godlike performance?"
The audience cheered once more. "Splendid! Hit it Blooky!"
Napstablook turned on his song, "Spooktune". It played quietly for a few seconds, before electronic beats entered the song, and it became much louder and much more upbeat. The ghost smiled faintly. Shyren then started to hum along to the toon, quietly at first, then just as loud as the song. She sometimes hummed the melody, and sometimes the not as important undertones. That's when Mettaton EX started to sing to the song.
"Living Underground hiding in fear. We thought all hope was lost, the end drawing near! But soon the human came and helped us see… All it took was mercy to set us free!"
The music went on, and so did Mettaton EX's singing. Soon Shyren began to sing too. After about three versus, the song seemed to be over. Then, Napstablook put on the new mix he was making on his computer. It was the best he's made yet.
Mettaton EX spoke into the mic, "I need a volunteer to make some lyrics to this new mix!"
"OH! ME, ME, ME!" Papyrus screamed as his hand flew up.
"Alright. Come up here, taller version of the short comedic skeleton! Show us your skill!" Mettaton handed the mic to Papyrus as he jumped onto the stage.
"MY NAME IS PAPYRUS AND I SHALL BEGIN THE SINGING NOW!"
The skeleton sang to his soul's content. Although his voice and lyrics weren't very good, no one really noticed; they couldn't help but smile. People began to take out camcorders. Papyrus was the star of the night.
"SANS, COME UP HERE AND JOIN ME! THE CROWD WOULD SURLEY ENJOY YOUR VOICE ONCE AGAIN!"
"nah, i don't even have vocal chords…"
The crowd chanted, "SANS! SANS! SANS! SANS!"
"alright, alright."
Sans hopped onto the stage. He had a great singing voice, but it seemed his heart wasn't really into it. With Sans' voice and quick lyrical thinking, and Papyrus' heart and determination, they made the perfect team. They always did. They had everyone clapping along as Mettaton EX joined in.
Soon, the music stopped and the brothers were done singing. Mettaton EX pretended to wipe his brow. The whole crowd went wild. Just as Mettaton had predicted, the crowd was blown away. This was the most fun the monsters had ever had. Muffet, who had set up a bake sale in the back, got many buyers. The video the monsters took went viral. All in all, it was a good night.
Frisk, Sans, and Papyrus all walked home together. They only took about twenty steps out the door before Toriel ran up to them. "I saw all of you tonight on stage! It was on the internet!"
"you learned how to use the internet?" Sans asked, amused.
"Yes, Frisk taught me. She signed me up for a social media website as well. You all are on every page!" she showed the phone to everyone.
"OOO LET ME SEE!" Papyrus snatched the phone. "OH MY! IT SEEMS I HAVE BECOME VERY POPULAR ON THE INTERNET!"
He noticed Frisk staring. "NOT THAT I WASN'T ALREADY, NYEH HEH…"
"I'm just sad I wasn't there to witness it for myself." Toriel said.
"there's always next time." Sans replied.
She noticed Frick wasn't wearing the warm clothes Toriel had given her.
"Young child, where is your coat? What about your scarf or your mittens?"
Frisk shrugged, lying. Papyrus offered his cape as a scarf. Toriel took it and wrapped it gently around Frisk.
"IT WOULDN'T BE AS WARM AS SANS' COAT OVER THERE, BUT IT IS GOOD ENOUGH," Papyrus said accusingly towards Sans.
"hey, i don't wanna be cold. the cold always goes right through me."
Ignoring the pun that Toriel was now laughing at, Papyrus stated, "BUT WE'RE SKELETONS. WE ARE NEVER COLD! WE HAVE NO SKIN!"
Sans shrugged. "maybe you don't get cold but… i like this coat."
Papyrus knew better than to argue with Sans. It always ended in bad puns, or Sans becoming gravely serious. He didn't know which was worse. Papyrus decided not to talk back to Sans. The four souls walked down the snowy street on their way to their own homes. When they split up, Papyrus let Frisk keep the cape (he had extras anyway).
Frisk liked the cape. For some odd reason, it seemed as though it was warmer than the coat mittens and scarf. It was a different sort of warm. The kind that didn't come from heaters or the sun.
To be continued…
