Katie hummed and then her eyes flashed red as she looked at the knifes, her smile starting to get a bit creepier.
"Who is this Mettaton anyway?" Cherry wondered while Frisk looked blank.
"He's a ghost who possessed a robot and has ideas of grandeur." Katie called through, her voice sounding a bit different too.
"Kat?" Cherry looked over to the kitchen.
Katie moved to stand in the doorway, a knife in hand. Cherry's eyes slowly widened.
Katie's eyes were all red and she had a creepy look on her face. She gave a creepy giggle. "I'm sorry, Katie is currently napping... Leave a message... I might pass it on." she smirked.
"Then who is this...?" Cherry asked, slightly uneasily.
"My name's Chara..." The one currently possessing Katie's body smirked.
"Chara?" Cherry repeated.
Frisk stood stoically before backing up to Cherry's side in concern.
Chara gave an evil giggle and then noticed Sans. "Hey, look, Smiley Trashbag has decided to join us!" she smirked, evilly though.
Frisk hid behind Cherry.
"Who are you and what have you done with Katie?!" Cherry demanded.
Sans looked at Katie, but did realize currently Katie wasn't there.
"Like I said, my name is Chara, Chara Dreemurr, and your friend has lost control," Chara laughed. She then noticed how if she wanted to get out to wreak havoc on the monster world she would have to distract the others somehow. She clenched the knife tightly and gave a giggle. "Now, I don't have to kill you guys... But I think you won't let me past, will you?" she hummed.
Papyrus seemed alarmed.
"I don't understand..." Cherry muttered in slight alarm.
Sans glared and his eye started to flash blue.
"I inhabited your friend's mind when we fell here, and I was slowly chipping away until I could take control... But, heehee, I'll stop there... I don't monologue." Chara laughed and then lunged as if she was going to attack Frisk and Cherry.
Cherry and Frisk held each other in fear. Sans rushed in front of them and surrounded currently Chara's soul in blue magic, making her float in the air.
Chara's glowing red eyes turned to Sans. "You better just let me go or I'll destroy every one of you." she smirked.
"You stay away from my brother and leave the desired human alone!" Papyrus scolded Chara.
Cherry and Frisk still held each other.
Sans looked at his brother. "Stay back from her." he warned.
Chara smirked. "If you don't let me go, I'll have to kill him first." she said nastily. She let out a grunt though as she was thrown into a wall.
Papyrus had to agree as he seemed nervous slightly. Cherry glared through her fear at Chara. Sans looked suspiciously at the seemingly unconscious girl. Chara/Katie's body seemed to be unconscious from the hole in the wall that had been created when Sans had smashed them into it. Papyrus seemed nervous. Cherry wasn't sure how to feel. Were they going to be killed? Sans kept the two humans and his beloved brother safely behind him. A groan came from Katie's body as she slowly opened her eyes. They were once again blue, with the red rings in the center.
"I'm not quite sure I like this side or not..." Papyrus commented.
Cherry rolled her eyes at him. Sans kept a watch on Katie.
"Ow, what happened?" Katie asked, with a pained groan.
"I think you were possessed..." Cherry narrowed her eyes slightly. "How do I know you're my Katie though?"
Sans looked warily.
"Who else would I be, Nee-Bear?" Katie asked softly, still laying where she had been tossed in, too sore and achey to do anything else.
"Okay, that's you." Cherry then said since no one else called her that.
"Nee-Bear?" Papyrus chuckled at the nickname.
Sans carefully lifted Katie out with his Magic. "Maybe we should visit Alphys." he suggested.
"What happened?" Katie repeated quietly.
"That sounds like the right thing to do." Papyrus nodded.
"Alphys?" Cherry asked curiously.
Frisk hugged Katie. Katie gently hugged Frisk back.
Sans turned off the stove before anything was burnt. "Let's go." he said.
"Dinner will have to wait." Papyrus agreed.
"Uh, who's Alphys?" Cherry asked.
"She's the royal scientist," Sans said to Cherry.
Katie looked at Papyrus from where she was hugging Frisk.
"Come along with us." Papyrus told Katie, Frisk, and Cherry.
Cherry was a little overwhelmed about Katie. Sans made sure to keep Katie from being able to run off just in case. He took them to the river person to take them to the hotlands where they could take Katie to Alphys. Katie winced slightly but didn't fight it.
"Tra la la, Tri li li... Beware the man who speaks in hands." The Riverperson told them.
Cherry glanced over curiously, but was mostly worried about Katie. Frisk nuzzled against Katie for possible comfort. Katie looked scared of the big building that said 'LAB' on it. Sans opened the door so everyone could walk in.
"Feels futuristic." Cherry commented about the high techiness of the lab.
"Alphys is very smart" Sans nodded.
"It's gonna be okay, Katie." Cherry did her best to comfort her friend/sister.
Sans was keeping her still and off the floor, he was keeping her off the floor though to be kind as the wall would've given her some aches and pains.
"I hope so..." Katie said quietly.
A yellow lizard or dinosaur gasped as she came out of her 'bathroom' to see the humans she had been watching in her lab with Papyrus and Sans. Frisk looked curiously over.
"Is that Alyphs?" Cherry asked, though she felt certain.
"Yup." Sans said simply.
Alphys came hurrying over. "Why are you all here?! A-And, oh, my gosh, is that human alright?" she asked them and referenced to Katie.
"She needs to be checked out." Papyrus urgently told Alphys.
Alphys, though extremely nervous, rushed over and got Sans to follow her with Katie.
"Why don't you call Undyne?" Katie smirked, her eyes becoming a little more red, but still mostly herself.
Sans went to where Alphys needed to have him bring along Katie. Cherry and Frisk were about to follow Alphys and Sans.
"Stay here." Sans told them.
Alphys nodded, not having heard Katie about Undyne though or she would've been a nervous blushing mess. Cherry then stood with Frisk in concern. Papyrus helped Katie over to Alphys. Sans went with Alphys to help her like he used to help Gaster. Cherry and Frisk just stayed put as they had no choice right now.
"Thank you, Alphys." Papyrus told the doctor.
Alphys smiled nervously. She then went down and started to do her work with Sans' help. Papyrus seemed more anxious and nervous about Katie than Sans did, they did have a date together after all.
A couple of hours, and ramen cups, later, Alphys came up and gave a nervous smile.
Sans came up after her. "Don't leave them nervous too." he smirked.
"I hope it's not contagious..." Papyrus muttered.
"N-No, it's fine." Alphys blushed.
Sans moved his hand and a kid around Frisk's age came 'flying' out, in a green and yellow striped sweater, a chin length bob and wearing shorts and boots. The kid also had currently calm red eyes and has tanned skin and rosy cheeks. They looked annoyed.
"Whoa!" Papyrus yelped in surprise. "It's another human!...I think."
Alphys took a step aside and looked a bit nervous.
"This... this is Chara..." Sans said.
Chara scowled and crossed their arms. Katie came up, looking better, she gently rested her hands softly on Chara's shoulders and gave a small smile.
"Chara..." Papyrus repeated.
Cherry felt a chill down her spine as she waited with Frisk.
"What, bonley one?" Chara glared at Papyrus.
Sans was about to tell Chara off.
"Chara, I promised I would take charge of you... Please don't speak like that to My Great One." Katie said softly, but firmly.
Papyrus slightly glared to Chara as he was insulted.
"Sorry, Mr. Papyrus." Chara sighed and rolled their eyes, annoyed.
Sans seemed to relax a little then.
"I-If you all w-want, you could s-sit down?" Alphys offered, blushing with nerves but trying to overcome them,
Katie looked shyly at Papyrus shy because she didn't know what he'd think of her due to Chara's trying to attack them in her body. Papyrus growled slightly at Chara, they were worse than Cherry on a 'good day'. Chara glared at Papyrus.
Sans glanced between Katie and his brother. "Maybe you both should go get a nice cream." he suggested and gave his brother the gold to buy them.
Katie looked surprised at Sans.
"Nice Cream?" Papyrus repeated.
Sans nodded. "Saw the guy making rounds between Snowdin and here," he said. He took Katie's arm carefully and firmly, but not nastily pushed her to his brother. "I'll watch the brat." he said about Chara.
"We should get back to your... Erm... Nee-Bear and brave and noble cousin..." Papyrus said to Katie, referring to Cherry and Frisk of course.
"Standing right here, Dude." Cherry smirked since Papyrus seemed blinded by his affections toward her friend/sister.
Sans smirked. "Go on, Pap, go enjoy another date." he said.
"Maybe you could go fetch Fish Sticks." Chara smirked.
Katie had caught herself on Papyrus, as she had almost fell when Sans had pushed her. Papyrus looked down to Katie as he instinctively caught her.
"Just look after her, I mean it," Cherry warned Papyrus as she stood next to Frisk. "Or I'll find a cute doggy."
Sans blinked at Cherry. Katie blushed and hid her face in Papyrus' chest, shy. Chara smirked, they knew Katie really did like Papyrus.
"I'm right here." Papyrus held Katie the only way a charming boyfriend would.
Katie giggled and gave a small, but cheeky smile to Papyrus.
"My treat?" Papyrus smiled down to Katie.
"If that's okay, yes, please." Katie nodded to Papyrus.
"Come along, let's get you away from this Chara." Papyrus told Katie.
"She's my guardian now, Tall Bones." Chara smirked.
Katie blushed and then carefully and gently pushed Papyrus out of the lab. Papyrus hid a glare to Chara on the way out with Katie.
"Are you alright, Great One?" Katie asked softly once they had left the lab.
"I'm fine, I was just so worried about you." Papyrus replied.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you or anyone... The last I remember is catching the glint of a knife by the cooker." she said quietly, putting her hand in his.
"Hmm... That can't be right..." Papyrus muttered. "I'm just glad you're better now, I like you a lot better this way."
Katie smiled softly and squeezed his hand. "Even though they were inside my mind, the liking, etc. was all me, until they took over." she told him quietly.
"So... Was that you on the date or was that Chara?" Papyrus asked curiously.
"Me mostly... The door shutting thing was them though... They'd lent me the magic." Katie said softly.
"So do you truly like me?" Papyrus asked just to make sure.
"Yes." Katie blushed with a smile.
"Oh... I see..." Papyrus blushed back, a little calmer now.
Katie smiled and wrapped her arms around Papyrus'. Papyrus smiled back to Katie once he knew he could trust her and fell for her all over again. Katie smiled softly at Papyrus. Papyrus smiled back as he took out the gold to pay for their Nice Cream. Katie gave a small smile to the Nice Cream man.
"Two nice creams please!" Papyrus told the vendor.
The vendor smiled back and took the gold in exchange for the dessert. Katie had a soft smile on her face.
Papyrus then brought out the Nice Cream for two. "What a lovely treat for my treat." he then winked to Katie when he said 'my treat'.
"Thank you." Katie giggled.
Papyrus smiled to Katie as he took out two spoons.
"You carry cutlery around with you?" Katie giggled.
"You never know~" Papyrus replied.
Katie giggled, but smiled in awe and love to Papyrus. Papyrus and Katie then sat down together to share their Nice Cream. Katie smiled as they enjoyed their treat. Papyrus smiled fondly to Katie as they enjoyed their Nice Cream together.
"Ooh, this Nice Cream warms my skin," Papyrus grinned. "...Or it would if I had any skin..." he then narrowed his eye sockets oddly again.
Katie giggled. "You're silly~" she told him.
"You're the one who's silly," Papyrus teased. "You're dating a skeleton~"
Katie laughed. "I am one with skin and muscle." she retorted.
"Hey, I have muscle too, don't you see these biceps?" Papyrus pouted.
"Oh, Great One, you're the best~" Katie smiled to him, and pressed a kiss to his cheekbone.
Papyrus's eyes seemed to sparkle as he even seemed to blush despite not having skin. "Oh, wowee, you really know how to make a skeleton happy!~"
Katie smiled sweetly and winked. Papyrus chuckled as this was the time of his life, even if he wanted to destroy at first.
Sans texted Papyrus. 'Isn't it time for your one-on-one lesson with Undyne? Maybe you should take Katie with you.' the message read.
Papyrus checked the message, excusing himself from Katie for a moment and gasped as he seemed to had forgotten all about that.
Katie jolted as he gasped and looked over. "Something wrong?" she asked with wide eyes.
"I have an appointment I forgot all about, I apologize." Papyrus replied, hoping she wouldn't angrily fume for this interrupting their date.
"Oh, it's alright... I guess I can go sit back in with the others, if it's private." Katie told him, with a small smile, showing she wasn't mad.
"Oh, I wouldn't mind your company, though I just hope Undyne takes it well." Papyrus replied.
"Well, I promise I'll be on my best behavior." Katie promised with a smile.
"I certainly hope so." Papyrus nodded.
Katie smiled, stood up, and dusted off her outfit. "Let's go then." she smiled.
"Come along." Papyrus nodded as he escorted Katie out for now.
Katie smiled softly as she walked with Papyrus. She kept an eye out for Flowey though. Papyrus felt a little nervous, but did his best to keep his cool until they would meet his idol and royal guardsman herself: Undyne.
"I'm sure it'll be fine." Katie soothed Papyrus. She knew that Undyne could decide to kill her to take her soul, but she would put up a fight first.
"Very well, this way." Papyrus nodded as he took the lead.
Katie smiled and followed. Papyrus took deep breaths in and out the whole way. Katie took his hand softly and squeezed gently to comfort him and try to keep him calm. Papyrus smiled to Katie on the way. Katie smiled back softly. Papyrus smiled back to Katie until they would see Undyne.
