Chapter 4 - The Many Adventures of a Child

"Hey Frisk, check this out!" Sans called. Frisk turned to see Sans pointing at multiple selves full of Mettaton products. "Looks like Mettaton making big up here too. Think we should get something for Paps?"

"Frisk, Sans!" Toriel called a couple aisles down.

"Oh I guess that's our queue," Sans stated then grabbed Frisk's hand and walked back to Toriel.

Frisk looked left and right at the people around them but quickly turned away when she noticed the glares of some of them, few people even turned their children away as they past. Frisk quickly looked away staring down, gripping Sans' hand tighter. The sudden increased pressure on his hand caused him to stop and turn to Frisk.

"What's wrong kid?" Sans asked. Frisk quickly looked up at Sans giving him a big smile. He sighed giving up on pestering Frisk and continued walking.

*Later that day*

"And then you'll die a lot," Frisk hummed as she brought in the rest of the groceries inside. "Really sad, you're gonna-"

"Unbelievable!" Toriel exclaimed as she walked in slamming her phone on the counter.

"What's wrong?" Frisk asked.

"Nothing right now, I'm going to make a couple of calls, can you two handle the groceries?" Toriel replied.

"You butter believe," Sans responded, "we'll do and eggcellent job." Toriel couldn't help but chuckle as she left the room.

*Later that night*

Undyne gave out a loud groan as she slammed the cards on the table. "Who's idea was it to play poker with the kid again after she kicked our butt last week?"

Frisk chuckled as she collected her reward, she couldn't help but feel a stab of pity but Frisk ignored it, she wouldn't go easy, there will be no mercy.

"Frisk, who taught you how to play?" Undyne asked as she reshuffled the cards.

Frisk shrugged, "I've known how to play for a very long time."

Undyne and Payrus exchanged looks before turning back to Frisk.

"Frisk, where is my brother?" Papyrus asked just noticing the absence.

"I don't know, he's not with my mom, she's been on the phone all day," Frisk replied, "and besides she seems like she's in a bad mood."

"Really, wonder why that is," Undyne commented.

"Frisk," Toriel called as she walked downstairs. Frisk stopped, placing her cards down on the table then she turned to Toriel.

Papyrus took this chance to lean in, slowly lifting up Frisk's cards to only have his head smacked by a child. He looked up to she Frisk staring at him. "No mercy," Frisk mumbled. Papyrus slowly leaned back in his chair as Frisk turned back to Toriel, he could hear Undyne chuckling to herself.

"What's wrong?" Frisk asked.

Toriel sighed, "the school decided to drop a long and important conference on me at last minute, just like them too."

"A conference?" Frisk questioned as she smack a certain skeleton without even turning around.

"It's an important meeting that's going to take me out of town so I'll be gone for a while, however since it's last minute I have nobody to watch you during that time," Toriel explained.

"How long is this conference?" Papyrus asked.

"Almost a week, it starts Monday morning so I would have to leave tomorrow night and then I wouldn't be able to get back until Saturday morning," Toriel replied.

"Do you have to go!" Frisk whined standing up in her chair.

"I'm sorry my child," Toriel apologized, "I'm afraid I do, it's too important not to go."

"Well," Undyne said slowly, "unless you have anybody else in mind I'm sure Alphys wouldn't mind if we took her in for the week."

"Oh really, if it's not to much trouble," Toriel exclaimed.

"Of course not!" Undyne replied, "what do you think Frisk?" Frisk turned to Undyne then back to Toriel nodding and smiling.

"Oh this is great," Toriel beamed, "but just so I don't feel bad, maybe you should talk to Alphys about it."

"Oh I'm sure she wouldn't mind, her and Frisk get along great, but if it makes you feel better I will," Undyne complied.

"Oh thank you," Toriel exclaimed, "you don't know how much I appreciate this."

"Frisk," Toriel called a couple hours later after both Undyne and Papyrus left. Toriel walked in the living room to find Frisk fast asleep on the couch with the TV on. "Oh my," Toriel mumbled as she walked up to Frisk but stopped when she heard Frisk shifting and mumbling. "Oh no."

"As-" Frisk mumbled, "sorry." Toriel froze, she needed to wake Frisk up but she so badly wanted to know what the nightmare was about. "N-no," Frisk continued mumbling, "nothing...do. As- Asriel!" Frisk shouted.

Toriel gasped, "Frisk," she exclaimed.

"Asriel!" Frisk repeated as she finally woke up. She threw her head up to see Toriel at the end of the couch looking at her. Frisk quickly sat up drying her eyes with her sleeves.

"Frisk," Toriel mumbled as she kneeled down next to Frisk, "why were you say that name?"

"Wh-what?" Frisk stuttered.

"Asriel," Toriel replied, "why were you saying that name?"

"I-" Frisk paused, "I don't know."

Toriel sighed reaching her arms out to Frisk, "come on, let's go to bed."

Frisk leaning in grabbing a hold to Toriel, she picked Frisk and walked upstairs. "Can I sleep in your room, with you tonight?" Frisk asked.

"Of course," Toriel replied.
