CH 9 | Old Friends?
"Excuse me deary, Is this is the Gaster residence?" said the blue spider girl at the door.
Frisk looked at her a little shocked. She had on a red dress with a white collar and a black bow around it She was wearing black leggings that looked like spider webs and tall black boots. She had a nice slender figure for a young girl that looked about 20.
Her black hair was medium and in low pony tails with red bows. Her side bangs came across her face but still able to see her five deep purple eyes. She had on grey gloves on each hand with a purple heart in the center. She had little fangs coming from her mouth.
"Gaster residence?" Frisk repeated back to the young girl standing before him.
"Yes. This is Sans' home. Isn't?" She when she asked a question back. When she blinked, all her eyes blinked at different times but all in order. It was sort of creepy.
"Yes. Sans does live here. Are you the babysitter?" The conversation between the this girl and Frisk was made up completely of questions.
"Indeed I am. May I came in?"
"Oh yeah!" Frisk got out of the way to let the stranger walk into the house.
"I'm Muffet by the way!" She said putting one of her hands out towards the human boy.
"Frisk." Shook Muffet's hand that was stretched out.
"So where is the other one?" She said one as if Chara was a thing. Clearly not intentional.
"She's upstairs sleeping-"
"With a cold. Yes. Sans told me on the phone." Muffet looked around the house.
"Did he call you last night?"
"Mm-hm!" Muffet seemed happy for what Sans had told him about the state of the underground.
"So you also know that I have to clean the entire house?"
"Yes. Sans did mention that. If you don't mind me asking, why?" Muffet sat down on the couch very elegantly with her dress spreading out onto the couch like she was a lady.
"I'm grounded." Frisk said continuing to sweep the floor
"Oh. I won't pry to much deary."
Muffet sat on the couch and watched Frisk finish sweeping the floor. Once he was done, he put all the dust and dirt in the garbage in the kitchen.
"Are you done?" Muffet asked nicely.
Muffet seems like a nice young girl who probably needs some extra money. Or maybe she's doing for fun?
"Maybe. I need to clean up the kitchen as well, probably wipe the walls, clean my and Chara's room," Frisk was stopped by Muffet standing up. She had a preserved face on and was ready for action.
"Say no more. I'll help you."
"Oh! Thank you but, I think Sans wanted this discipline to be my punishment…"
"Well, you can't do all of this alone. Besides, I've got lots of extra hands!" Muffet holds up her six hands and shakes them like jazz hands.
Frisk nods to her and the two begin to clean.
A few hours went by and the house was looking much cleaner. There was so dirty laundry on the floor and whatever smell there was, was gone.
"Thanks Muffet. I couldn't have finished without you." Frisk said putting all the cleaning supplies away under the sink.
"No problem."
Then, both of their attentions turn up towards the stairs when Chara came out peeking through the door.
"Hey Chara!" Frisk called up.
"Frisk…" Chara said cautiously. "Who is that?" Chara pointed to Muffet.
"That's Muffet. She's our babysitter while Sans is at work." Frisk said going up the stairs to meet Chara.
"Oh...okay." Chara sneezed and rubbed her nose.
Chara's nose was red and it looked like she's been sneezing a lot.
"Aww. poor Chara." Muffet said from downstairs. Muffet had a look on her face that said she had an idea. "Hey! Why don't I take you two out for lunch!"
"We can't go outside the house." Frisk replied. Or at least I can't.
"Well...Sans doesn't have to know. Besides. I don't want to bake in the kitchen. We just cleaned it!" Muffet said.
Frisk and Chara went down the stairs and stood in front of Muffet.
"What'da say dearies?"
Although you'd think Muffet would look creepy, she had actually had a very cute smile.
"Okay! But as long as you don't tell Sans." Frisk said and turned to the sick Chara beside him.
"Chara? You okay to come along?"
Chara nodded and smiled a little but Frisk thought it seemed sort of forced.
Muffet took the children out of the house and to the nearby restaurant. Muffet opened the door and took the kids to a booth. The place wasn't too busy. There were a few monsters at the tables but for most part it was empty.
There were two bird like monsters drunk in a corner, a bunny monster was at one booth by themselves and a couple of different dogs were playing poker.
The three sat at the booth until Grillby came over with a notepad and pencil.
Grillby was a fire elemental monster. He wore rectangle glasses that covered his eyes. He had on a white dress shirt with a black vest and a black bowtie. He had black pants and dress shoes.
"What can I get for...oh!" He sounded normal until he noticed Muffet.
"Muffet. What are you doing here?" He asked sort of angerly but it really did sound like he was asking.
"Hm. It's good to see you too Grillby. " Muffet said sounding a bit annoyed
Grillby's fire sort of rose and started to burn a bit faster when Muffet spoke. Frisk and Chara kind of just looked at each other with the same look on their face. 'What's going on?'
Grillby adjusted his glasses and took a deep breath. "What can I get for you today?" He asked trying to ignore Muffet's presents.
"I'll get some fries." Muffet said not even looking at him.
Frisk could definitely sense some tension between the two. Grillby wrote down Muffet order though Frisk saw him write maybe a little bit more. Grillby turned his attention to Chara. Chara nodded agreeing with Muffet on the fries. Grillby wrote down again and turned to Frisk. Frisk looked at Muffet and then at Grillby.
"I'd like an explaination please." He said to the both them.
Muffet and Grillby looked at each other is hatred then looked away with their noses up in disgust like they were five year-olds.
There was silence between the two for awhile. Until finally Muffet said,
"Well, Grillby," She said his name as if she meant 'rat' or something in repugnance "you should tell him since YOU were the one to mess it up."
"Me?" grillby replied again making his fire grow bigger "You were the one you messed it up!"
The two then began to fight with each other yelling nasty words at each other and Frisk just slowly put his hands over Chara's ears. Chara looked up at Frisk with a face of question and tilted her head like a dog. Frisk just looked back at the two adults acting like five year-olds. The other people around started to pay attention Grillby and Muffet. Soon enough they started to shout 'Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!' Clearly most of them were drunk or bored.
Grillby rolled up his sleeves and glared at Muffet. Muffet had a sinister look on her face. The two looked ready to brawl.
This can NOT end well.
