Authors note: the best kind of birthday is the one you didn't think you would get. Also i imagine that in their world instead of Sans's theme being 'Song that might play when you fight Sans' to just 'sans!' Not to be confused with 'sans.'

Frisk spent a few days with Papyrus figuring out how to control her magic, as he was the best at doing so. "WHAT YOU MUST DO IS MASTER YOUR INTENT. WHILE YES USING OUR MAGIC IS QUITE REFRESHING AND FUN, ESPECIALLY IN SPARRING, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DISCIPLINE AND CAUTION MUST BE USED!" Frisk nodded, not taking her eyes off of Papyrus "WHEN SANS AND I WOULD TRAIN I ALWAYS TOOK THE MOST CARE IN OUR FIGHTS, EVEN BEFORE HE REACHED…..HIS LOW PERIOD. I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE SURE I NEVER TRULY HARMED MY BROTHER WHAT SO EVER. THEREFOR IN FIGHTS I ALWAYS THINK BACK TO MY BROTHER, WHEN THAT HAPPENS, MY LEVEL OF INTENT BECOMES ALMOST NON EXISTENT." "Oh ok that makes sense, so think of someone i would never ever imagine hurting." "INDEED, THOUGH IT DOES STILL TAKE TIME AND PRACTICE, AND I SHALL ASSIST YOU IN MY WAYS!"

Frisk clapped excitedly "I can't wait!" Frisk and Papyrus headed indoors when she saw the calendar, her birthday was coming up. In the past, her caretakers would take her to the cemetery to see her parents. Frisk would spend time describing her year, talking about how much she missed them, and she wanted to go again this year. Papyrus walked next to her " TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A TRULY WONDERFUL DAY! CELEBRATING A WELL WON BIRTHDAY, AND THE VICTORY OF GAINING MANY, MANY MORE!" Frisk grinned, it was true….she was close to not having another birthday "Heck yeah, that reminds me, I need to talk to you . mom and dad when they get home, there's something important I want to do that I do every year." "AH I SEE! I AM SURE THAT WE WILL BE CAPABLE OF HOLDING YOUR TRADITIONS HIGH!" As he said this he picked up Frisk hand held her up to his face "YOUR BIRTHDAY SHALL BE THE GREATEST ONE EVER, SO SAYETH THE GREAT PAPYRUS! NYEHEHEHEHEHEH!"

Frisk giggled, and they played some junior jumble until Toriel and Sans got home. Frisk was about to enter the living room when Toriel spoke up "Sans dear get Frisk to her room so she does not ruin her surprise!" With that she was suddenly in her room face to face with her dad "sup kiddo, sorry but tori's orders." Frisk giggled "It's alright, there was something I wanted to talk to the tree of you about though." " alright, lay it on me, i'll pass the word while tori sets things up." Frisk sat on her bed, looking at her hands "My birthday is tomorrow, and um, well every year since my parents died, i've visited them. I was wondering if we could make the trip to the cemetery at some point." Sans sat next to Frisk and wrapped his arm around her " of course kiddo, we can take ya. you want us to let you be on your own over there or do ya want company?" Frisk looked at sans and grinned, the orbs of light in her eyes becoming a little shaky "I think they would like to meet you guys, all of you." Sans nodded "alright, i'll send the word, and we can show your parents our crazy family." Frisk smiled and gave Sans a hug, excited about what tomorrow would bring.

Toriel spent the day with Frisk teaching her healing magic, meanwhile in the field behind her house Papyrus was preparing exciting puzzles, Mettaton was setting up a stage, and Undyne was working on a sparring ring. Burgerpants and the nice cream guy had been called in to cater for the event, while Alphys made sure all electronics were up to snuff. They managed to keep this hidden from Frisk by using magic to dampen the noise, and convincing Frisk to stay indoors. The next day everyone was called over for the first part of Frisk's birthday. "S-So what are we doing f-first guys?" Toriel spoke up "Well it seems that Frisk has made it a yearly tradition to visit the location where her parents are buried, and she wanted all of us to come with her." Everyone had a light smile, honored that Frisk would think to bring them to her parents.

Everyone was ready and they made their way to the cemetery. Frisk stood in front of her parents graves with a sad smile on her face "Hey guys….it's me, though uh..I guess I do look a little different. It's been a crazy year, turns out the stories of Mt Ebbott were mostly true. I think you would have liked the friends and family I found, it's thanks to them that I even made it to see my birthday again." Everyone took a place near Frisk and the headstones, Toriel stood beside Frisk with a hand on her shoulder "Greetings, I am Toriel, I have been taking care of Frisk for a while, you two have raised a truly wonderful child. She has grown to be a strong and caring person, just as she described the both of you to be."

Sans stood to Frisk's other side, hands in his pockets as usual " heya, the name's sans, it's uh…nice to meet you both. i gotta say you two have one heck of a kid here. she told me that you two gave her an appreciation for puns, which is good cause i've got a skeleTON of em." Frisk giggled "They would have laughed so hard at that one." Papyrus stood behind Frisk, staring at the headstones, he had a smile on his face, as he spoke, he tried to keep his voice as quiet and respectful as he could get it "GREETINGS PARENTS OF FRISK, I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS. YOU TWO HAVE A BRILLIANT PUZZLE MASTER HERE, SHE'S ALMOST AS GREAT AT THEM AS ME!I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE MET YOU BOTH, BUT THIS WILL DO." Undyne stood beside Sans and pulled her large, toothy grin " So your the little punks parents huh? The names Undyne, and i gotta agree with everyone. You guys have probably the toughest kid in the world. Oh and uhh….sorry about the whole trying to hurt her thing, that wasn't cool." Frisk was still smiling, tears in her eye sockets "I'm sure they forgive you by now, after all we're besties!" "Heck yeah!" The other two gave their respects and they all stood there for a while, eventually heading back home for the biggest birthday party ever.

When they arrived, it was as if most of the underground had been there. Grillby,Muffet, Bratty,Catty, Monster Kid, and many others had arrived to celebrate the young ambassador's birthday, especially considering current circumstances. Everyone was excited to see Frisk alive and well, they all cheered and made a gap in the crowd as she arrived. Frisk's eyes expanded in shock "Holy cow, everyone's here" "Well of course my child, this is a very special day. After all you only turn eight once, do you not?" Frisk laughed as Sans added "'sides that its also celebratin the fact that you're gonna have a lot more birthdays to come." Frisk stared at the crowd in awe "So what are we doing first?" "I HAVE SET UP MANY LARGE PUZZLES AND GAMES FOR US TO PLAY! WHICH ONE WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO FIRST?" Frisk looked around , they had the classic x's and o's puzzle, a large board for a game of twister, and many others. Everyone was having a great time solving Papyrus's puzzles and playing his games, the guests let the family play on their own, though Frisk would include many of them from time to time.

Eventually Mettaton got on stage "Attention everyone! Would the gorgeous Frisk Dreemurr please come up to the stage!" Frisk happily ran up onto the stage "Ah here is the birthday girl! Tell me darling, are you having fun?" Frisk winked "Tibia honest i'm having a great time." The crowd groaned while some laughed, Grillby whispered to Sans "Yup….she is clearly your daughter." " i know right? she can patella few good puns." "I walked right into that one…." Before Sans could respond Mettaton began to speak "Well dear let me tell you something. We all had planned a sort of show for you to enjoy! You see, we didn't really do this much in the underground, not enough space for a big and showy presentation. Now that we are on the surface however, we can all truly show off our magical prowess without risk of hitting anything or anyone. "

Frisk gasped and grinned "That's right darling, we all shall put on a show, just for you, the saviour of monster kind!" Everyone cheered as Frisk could feel tears prick her eyes " So how do these things go?" "Well darling we have a special seat for you to get a fantastic view of the shows. Monsters will flaunt their magic in connection to their themes, showing everyone what they've got! Afterwards we have scheduled time for monster duels for those that want to roughhouse a little." "That was Undyne's idea wasn't it?" "You betcha darling! Now take your seat and we will have our first show!" Frisk was put into a chair set up in the middle of the field in front of the stage, it looked liek a throne of sorts. Monsters thought it fitting considering she was adopted by Toriel, Frisk thought it was very comfortable. "Mettaton began to speak once more"Now for our first show, magic done by yours truly, alas I cannot do this alone, I have need of a partner!" Monsters cheered all wanting to be part of the show. Papyrus was waving his arms hoping to go up. Mettaton looked up at Frisk and with his robotic eyes he could see her mouth the word 'Papyrus', he chuckled and called Papyrus's name.

Papyrus was shocked "WOWIE I GET TO GO ON STAGE WITH THE GREATEST PERFORMER EVER! THIS IS TRULY THE BEST PARTY!" Mettaton grinned as Papyrus clambered up onto the stage "Alright darling, are you ready?" "THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS ALWAYS READY!" With that Frisk watched as 'Death by Glamor' began to play, Mettaton and Papyrus dancing together wildly as electricity sparked from Mettaton to the beat of the music. Their dance was fast paced, but Papyrus kept up every step of the way, adding little bits of his magic into the fray. Magical bombs exploded in sync to the music, sparks flew, and they both took a bow as the song ended. Everyone was clapping and cheering , and as Papyrus walked back to the group, Mettaton couldn't help but think how lucky Paps was to have both popularity and loving friends and family. Of course he had Napstablook and Shyren….there was just something about Papyrus, maybe he should invite him over for a few shows.

Frisk was clapping loudly and let out a whistle, snapping Mettaton out of his thoughts "A truly wonderful display! And now next on the list….ooooh myyyy it seems our local and usually lazy skeleton wishes to show us some things!" With that Sans teleported onto the stage "sup" "Alright, let's get this show on the road, apparently Sans here has two themes, both of them called sans, however this one has an exclamation point instead of a period…..how fitting" Mettaton exited the stage and started the music.

Sans brought out bones that flew around him as the music played, blasters going off to the beat. At the point where Papyrus's theme sneaks in the bones change, rotating in large circles as platforms and blasters arise, Sans stuck out his arm and they all flung forward, dissipating as the song ended. People cheered as others went, Alphys opted out due to nerves, and Undyne did what she did best, show off with the most anime poses to her theme as possible. Since their magics were so similar, both Toriel and Asgore made a show of their themes, fire dancing around them. As Asgore left Toriel brought Sans on stage and they combined their magics to make another spectacle, flames and bones danced rhythmically together as Sans and Toriel did the same. Cheers came from the crowd and Frisk, and soon it was Papyrus's turn.

Papyrus's bonetrousel had apparently been remixed, this time sounding like something you would hear in a cantina (mafiatale SHOOTOUT!) Papyrus nodded to the starting beat, and brought out a bone staff, flipping and turning it to the music. He summoned out bones that flew and danced to the song. When the music began to rise the staff spins became more intense, as Papyrus danced and flipped over many bones. As hsi song ended Papyrus did a final flourish with his staff, tossing it into the air and having it dissipate on the ground. Mettaton spoke up once more "Alright my beauties, there is one last performance, starring Papyrus, Sans, and our darling ambassador Frisk! The song is deemed 'megalotrousel'!"

The three made it on stage, all three of them surprised by this, apparently people wanted to see the skeleton trio do their thing. The song started, They all glowed their eyes and began moving to the music, their bone attacks and blasters moving to the music. They danced and moved in timing to the new tune, as the music intensifies so does the speed of their dancing and of the magic that flows. Eventually the vocals for Frisk's part of the theme came, the three both had their eyes glowing. Thier arms raised as bones and blasters raised, Frisk became enveloped in a red hue as she started floating, the vocals continued, as the other two prepared for the finale. Frisk brought up her arms and brought them down, sending blasters and bones flying, all moving around the stage to the beat. As the song ended the crowd went wild, everyone cheering and clapping at the fantastic display, the trio left the stage to go rest after such an intense performance. Oddly enough it was in doing so that Frisk discovered that after some food, she felt ready to go once more, meanwhile Sans was snoozing on the lunch table with a half eaten grillbys burger in front of him.

After some time passed and guests began to leave for the family to have their own private gathering, Sans began to wake, seeing that Frisk and Undyne were putting the sparring area to good use. Undyne had just launched a volley of spears, but as she dodged them all, Frisk caught eye of a final spear just about to hit her. Her instincts took over and suddenly she was no longer near the center of the ring, but in a corner. Undyne blinked "What the hell was that?" Frisk looked surprised as well "uhhhhh…...shortcut?" Sans could now be heard laughing and clapping " hahahaha there ya go kid!" Frisk grinned, it seemed she got a lot of her dad's powers, and her mother's. Frisk used the distraction to summon waves of fire at Undyne, who gasped and narrowly dodged them, getting singed in the process. Toriel and Papyrus came outside "Alright you two the dessert is ready." Frisk ran over to Toriel "Hey mom guess what? Undyne threw some spears at me, and I nearly got hit, but somehow I blinked and I was in another part of the ring!" "Oh really now?" "Yeah, soon i'll be able to take shortcuts!." "eh that was instinctual kiddo, but hey i could show ya how to do it whenever you want." Frisk clapped excitedly as she went inside. Soon she would be serenaded by a happy birthday song from her friends and family, followed by pie and presents. Today was truly the greatest birthday ever, and many more were to come, however a major threat loomed overhead…...school.
