UnderFell Mob
Chapter 10: A Work Day
Sans POV:
Today was a work day.
And no, I don't mean doing business with Paps.
I mean a day working at the lab.
For years, I mean like, a lot of years, I've worked with Alphys and dad at their lab.
Hell, if my dad up and died, I'd be chosen to replace him as the head scientist for Don Asgore.
I mean, don't get me wrong, Alphys is a great scientist and all, but she's not one for leadership.
Paps had a day off, so he offered to watch Frisk with Mettaton.
It still feels weird, with the ol' robot helping out with the kid.
I just hope they don't get the idea to show off Frisk like a TV mom.
That'd be worse than the nightmare where they and Paps were doing it as a new show, 'I Bang A Skeleton!'
Jesus!
Although, I don't know if Paps would agree to that or not.
But anyway, back to work.
After the monsters escaped the underground and made peace with the humans, (for the most part), dad's biggest task was changed.
Where it used to be experimenting with souls, now it's maintaining the science of the monster civilisation.
From new discoveries, to improving lives, our three monster team is responsible for a lot.
Sure, we have other employees, but for the most part, me, Al and dad are the glue to this whole operation.
I'm worried though.
It's been a few weeks since I told Al, Paps and Mettaton.
Paps and Mettaton I don't have to worry about too much.
But Al.
She's not so great with secrets.
I mean, she couldn't keep a lot of secrets from me in the past.
But this was more important than a simple crush on Toriel, or eating Paps leftover spaghetti.
This was Frisk.
And this was my dad and the Don I was keeping all this from.
So, yeah, this secret needs to stay, well, secret.
But enough exposition, back to work, again.
Me and Al were going over paperwork that day.
Nothing to big.
Nothing to small.
Just old papers for some of the stuff we've been working on.
Dad was in the lab, working on whatever the Hell was important that day.
I decided to make small talk with Al, as well as joke with her for a bit.
I mean, she was drinking some water, and I thought of the perfect conversation starter.
"so, how's yer sex life?"
She immediately spit off to the side, avoiding the papers.
It was hysterical!
"S-Sans! That's p-personal!"
"yeah. and?"
She became even more flustered.
It was a gold mine of comedy.
"Sigh, y-you're not g-gonna stop asking u-until I s-say SOMETHING, huh?"
I nodded playfully.
"F-fine. If y-you must k-know, my, er, a-activities with U-Undyne are just f-fine."
"nothing too kinky I hope."
I smirked.
"W-what, ugh, God Sans! D-do you h-have to be so g-gross!?"
"no."
My smirk perfectly contrasted with her glare at me.
"Y-you're d-disgusting, y'know that?"
"yeah."
She glares even harder at me.
"W-what are y-you so i-interested in my l-like life w-with Undyne, huh?"
"can't a guy be a little curious about his old friends, as you said, 'love life'?"
"I s-suppose so."
"I mean, you and her have been going out for quite a while now. a year since we got outta the underground. and ya never once told me any juicy stories!"
"M-maybe it's b-because, unlike y-you, I'm not S-so open a-about w-what me and Undyne d-do in b-bed! W-what if I asked you a-about a c-certain M-milf you'd l-like to f-fu- -"
"If you too are done, could I speak with you?"
Me and Al instantly froze in place.
My dad had one of those voices that could catch your attention in half a second.
When he wanted something, he got it in only a minute, at most!
Me and Al responded in an instance.
"yeah dad? what do you need?"
"D-dr. Gaster!? W-what is it?"
"I have something I'd like to show you two. It's very important."
"yeah dad, sure."
"Of c-course Dr. G-gaster."
We followed my dad through the lab.
Passed the other staff members who were working on many other experiments.
And we came upon the door to my dads workshop.
Where he kept everything he found the most important.
We entered the large room.
It was dark and cold, just how dad liked it.
He turned on the lights to show off all of the different equipment and devices my dad's made.
He spoke in his booming voice, "I was going over some of my old notes, as well as yours, and I found something within them that peaked my interest."
"oh, and what did you find?"
"Just listen, and you'll see."
Dad pushed the button on his work pad, which gave us 3 messages.
"I was off on a visit with dad to the king today, and I noticed something odd. I'd been there on business many times, and even played with the Prince and Princess before, well…. anyway, I've been there enough times to notice that one of the flowers was missing. the center flower. the first one planted. I have no idea what happened, but I thought best to keep it in mind if maybe dad or the king brought it up."
Curious. There's something about this that I couldn't put my finger on. And what happened to the flower again….
"I w-was working on t-the experiments g-given to m-me by Dr. G-gaster, and I've d-discovered something o-odd. I was s-sent to e-experiment on one of the f-flowers in the r-royal garden. It was the c-center o-one, i-if I can r-recall. I performed m-many t-tests on it. B-but, t-today, the flower was g-gone!"
Wait…. The center flower was experimented on, and was found missing…. It, it can't be….
"Today is a sad day. Prince Asriel and Princess Chara have passed. The Princess died of a sickness, while the Prince was murdered by humans. His ashes spread upon the first flower of the garden. I've asked the king if I may run a few tests on it. He agreed. Alphys is to run a few on it in a few days…."
Flowey….
Flowey is Asriel….
My God….
"It appears that the Flower must have some form of conscience from the experiments, and it may have had something to do with the Prince and Princesses deaths. Heh. I find it kind of funny, rememberijg when we were once the scientists to a kingdom, rather than a Mob."
"yeah. pretty funny dad."
"Y-yes. M-most hilarious."
"I recently put these pieces together, but, I want you two to keep an eye out for this creature. Got it?"
"y-yeah dad, sure."
"Y-yes, of course Dr. G-gaster."
"You may be dismissed."
And with that, me and Al ran off, leaving my father to his work.
I spoke to her.
"y'know what this means, right?"
"Y-yes. That little F-flowey guy w-was the one we e-experimented on!"
"no. no, I think it's worse than that. he told me that he was a monster that died. think about this Al. what we have is a talking flower that used to be human, that correlates with the notes we heard about the Prince's ashes being spread upon the same flower you and dad started testing. so, I think it's safe to assume tha-"
"T-THE P-PRINCE IS F-FLOWEY!?"
I instantly put my hand over Al's mouth.
"shhhh! are you insane!? what'll you think will happen if his dad, or worse, MY DAD, found out about him!?"
My hand left her mouth.
"S-sorry Sans. T-this just r-really s-surprised me is a-all."
"same here Al. I just hope we can keep this from the Donn and my dad for as long as possible."
Lord knows I didn't need to keep both Frisk and Flo- sigh, Asriel secrets.
Flowey's POV:
This Mettaton person is kinda weird.
Granted, they're a transgender, 4-armed, 4-eyed ghost-robot dating an egotistical skeleton, but still.
Sans had to go to work today, so I went with Frisk and Papyrus to see them.
They were so happy to see Frisk, but we're confused by me.
When they first saw me, they said, "Pappy Dear, why is there a flower with eyes on your shoulder?"
'Pappy Dear?', I had to keep myself from snickering at the pet name Mettaton gave Papyrus.
"This is Flowey, Mettaton, he is one of the people among Sans who watches over Frisk."
"Oh. And should I be worried by him?"
"No! No, he's not dangerous, to us."
"What does that mean?"
I spoke up, "that means that I'll only attack those who want to hurt Frisk."
Both Papyrus and Mettaton looked at me with bewilderment, but after several seconds, Mettaton said, "I like him!"
And after that, The day went great. Frisk and me had a ball spending time with them.
We watched TV, had lunch, and danced a bunch.
I remember me and Frisk coming home exhausted.
Today was a good day, and I remember falling asleep just as Sans got home….
