'Are you sure you want them to come round?'
'Yeah.'
'But they'll ask questions. Especially Sans.'
'So, what? I'll just use some of the excuses James and Sirius use for my scars at school.'
Frisk and Remus were sat in the living room of their house. Remus had recovered full control, however he still had the bandage on his head and he had his left arm in a sling.
The two of them were discussing the plans for that afternoon. They decided they wanted the monsters and their parents to properly meet, and that evening they were going to have a little get together.
'You're ABSOLUTELY sure?' Frisk asked.
'Yes, Frisk,' Remus replied.
'Okay,' Frisk said, standing. 'I'd better go get ready. Don't stress yourself while I'm upstairs, okay?'
'Frisk, I'll be fine. You don't need to worry so much.'
Frisk turned and headed from the room, leaving Remus alone. He opened the Defence Against the Dark Arts book in his lap and started reading.
'You're really beat up, aren't you?'
Remus froze at the unfamiliar voice. It sounded distant, yet close at the same time. He raised his head to see a girl sat just where Frisk had been moments earlier. She had hair like Frisk's, only a slightly lighter shade, and rosy cheeks. She wore a green jumper with a single yellow stripe, and brown shorts. She looked almost exactly like Frisk, except one detail. The eyes. This girl's eyes were blood red.
There was also the fact she was slightly transparent.
'Oh, where are my manners? Greetings, I am Chara,' the girl smiled. 'I'm a...friend of Frisk's.'
'It's, um... nice to meet you,' Remus replied. 'Oh, wait! I remember, when the monsters were telling me the Undertale, they mentioned you. You were the first human to fall into the Underground, right? Asgore and Toriel raised you until you...' He paused. 'But...you're dead.'
'I was, until Frisk fell,' Chara explained. 'Her determination brought me back. However, she was the only one who could see me. Well, until now. You can see me too, because you also have a DT soul.'
'That's so sad,' Remus said. 'You can't talk to any of your family.'
'It's not as bad as you might think,' Chara replied. 'At least I get quality alone time.' She paused. 'What's it like being a werewolf?'
'You...you know about that?!' Remus gasped.
'Well, duh. I overheard your sister mentioning it,' the ghost girl replied. 'And, anyway, it's not like I can tell anyone who doesn't know.'
'...Good point,' Remus replied.
'You know, I think I'm gonna start hanging out with you now. Frisk has been ignoring me recently,' Chara said, leaning back on the sofa.
'Why's that?' Remus asked.
Chara just shrugged. 'I have a hunch.'
Remus waited for her to say what her hunch was. When he realised he wasn't gonna get an answer, he decided to change the subject.
'Do you need to eat? Are you even able to?'
'I don't need to,' Chara replied. 'However, I will not pass up the opportunity to have a delicious bar of chocolate if there's one going.'
'I just so happen to have two bars here,' Remus said, holding up two Cadbury Dairy Milks.
'Awesome!'
Remus handed Chara one bar and ate the other himself.
'It's been so long,' Chara sighed after she finished. 'I'd forgotten how good it tastes.'
'Bro!'
Remus turned to Frisk, who'd just entered the room.
'Um...would you mind if, tonight, you make sure Sans doesn't come within five feet of me?' she asked.
'Why?' Remus questioned.
'Well, you know how I told you that he drew on my face and I got revenge by stealing all his ketchup and burning his favourite hoodie?'
'Yeah, I still think you went a bit overboard with that.'
'Well, I think he might be planning on getting his revenge tonight.'
Chara burst out laughing. 'Oh, I've got to see this!'
Remus noticed Frisk's eyes flicker to where Chara was sat for a second, glaring at her. He guessed Frisk didn't know he could see Chara.
'Okay, I promise to protect you from the spoopy scary skeleton,' he said to his twin.
'Thanks,' Frisk said. 'Hey, do wanna bake something for tonight?'
'Yes! Do it!' Chara smiled. 'Chocolate cake! No, triple chocolate cookies! Oh, no, wait, chocolate brownies! Just...anything with chocolate!'
Remus almost laughed at the enthusiasm of the ghost. Frisk just glared at her once again.
'How about triple chocolate cookies?' Remus said.
'Okay. C'mon!'
Frisk ran from the room. Remus stood and began to follow her before turning back to Chara.
'Well? You coming?'
'Sure.'
The two of them left the living room and went into the kitchen. Remus smiled.
Looks like I've got a new friend.
