It had been a week since Chara had moved in with the Dreemurs and she had never been happier in her life. For the first time in her life she had had a haircut, a proper shower, a decent meal, and a comfortable bed. For the first time since she could remember she had proper cloths, a loving family and a safe environment. She was getting physically healthier. But mentally and emotionally, she hadn't got much better. When she had managed to get out of bed she dropped a plate and burst into tears. The Dreemurs had tried to explain that they cared about her and wanted her to be happy. But the twelve years of poor treatment had left their marks. And Chara was still fighting at all costs not to be a burden.

One day, three of the Dreemurs (Chara always slept in due to obvious reasons) were all sitting in the living room when Asriel had a bright idea.

"Why don't we invite Chara to the big party next week!" he exclaimed "then, she could realize that all we wanted was to be nice to her!"

"That... isn't a bad idea Asriel." Asgore said "plus it would be a good way to introduce her to the other monsters,"

At that moment the door creaked open and Chara awkwardly edged in.

"Chara, my dear," Toriel said, and Chara looked up at her "we were just thinking about inviting you to a big party we're having next week, to show you the other monsters. Would you like to come?"

The village had a lot of parties. But Chara was never allowed near them. But she always wanted to see what they were like. Everyone dressing up fancy and having a good time. So if they were letting her attend then why refuse?

"Y-yes please." She said quietly, nodding her head.

"Wonderful! Tomorrow you and I can go and pick a dress," Toriel said "trust me my Child. You will enjoy yourself there."
