A/N: Hello reader, thanks for reading as your title suggests. I think it's pretty neat that your reading this, I also think that you're pretty neat for reading this too ;)
You hear the pitter and patter of rain on the roof above, a calming sound that soothed your thoughts and brought you gently awake from your sleep. The soft sunlight through the clouds shined through your window; it seemed like a cozy day today, perfect for reading a good book, or maybe catching up on your homework.
The school system you went to was different than most. It wasn't a five day a week, every week sort of schedule, it was often four to three days a week and sometimes was sporadic. The monsters were more considerate about kids happiness, such as giving kids time for special festivals, events, holidays, or even just a monster family celebration. Sometimes they would let kids have time off just to be kids, it is a precious and valued time of their life after all. But even with not going to class often, you could still get behind on homework unfortunately.
You groggily roll out of bed, literally. You contemplate going back to sleep when you fall on the floor, huddling in the blankets like a little ball. Your eyes droop and you almost drift back to sleep when you hear soft knocking at the door. You grumble and mumble and huddle deeper in your blankets. The door opens and Asgore walks in.
"Ho ho, what are you doing down there Frisk?"
You mumble again.
He laughs and crouches down next to you, pawing at the blankets so he could see your face.
You squint when the blankets move from your face and mumble
"I don wanna git up"
He laughs again and runs his paw through your hair.
"Breakfast is ready young one, it's very warm and one of your favorites."
You perk up a little, but then snuggle back down into your blankets.
"But I don wanna move."
He laughs.
"Very well."
He picks you up, along with your blankets, and carries you down to the kitchen table. It's very comfortable in his arms, and you're slightly disappointed to be placed down in your seat.
The two of you giggle together about your laziness, and enjoy a nice warm breakfast of eggs, sausage, and toast by the window as the rain fell, pitter pattering on the garden.
Your homework wasn't nearly as exciting as your past few days, but it had to be done. You were in the process of learning about various sea creatures such as sharks, dolphins, whales, and manta rays; manta rays were your favorite. You have to match where certain body parts were with the pictures and write down facts about each animal like what they eat and how they live.
You thought about maybe going to see Onion-sans to see if he may help, but decided against it; you wanted homework help, not him talking on about his friends at the aquarium. He still hadn't decided whether to join them or not.
You've been sitting and doing homework for a while, so you decide to take a break, maybe have a muffin or something. You set the homework down and make your way to the kitchen where Asgore was drinking some tea and reading a book; you smiled at how similar he was with Toriel sometimes. You go to grab a muffin when Asgore stops you momentarily.
"Oh, Frisk, I have received a phone call. It seems the United Nations would like for us to go to a conference next week. They would also like all of the monsters close to you to go as well, so could you go inform them?"
You haven't been to a political conference in a month or two, they were always boring and people always yelled in circles and it seemed like no one agreed on anything. There would also be company representatives who would come and talk to you about endorsements and free things they'd offer you. Sometimes it was annoying, and sometimes they actually offered some pretty useful and neat stuff such as your Tempur-Pedic bed which was so soft and comfortable, sometimes Asgore thought that you wouldn't wake up, from its comfiness of course. With your friends there this time though, it should be more fun.
You nod.
"Thank you. How is your homework going?"
You look to the side and shrug a little, he laughs.
"Well, you must complete it, you do not want your mother to get mad again, right?"
You smile sheepishly, and the two of you laugh a bit. You then go to get your muffin while Asgore goes back to his tea and his book.
As you head back to your room, you stop by the window and see that the rain has let up; you're homework can wait.
You tell Asgore you'll be out for a bit, and decide that you might as well head outside and go tell your friends about the conference. The air was warm and humid, and the smell of petrichor fills your nose. You grab an umbrella, put on your rain boots, and make your way down the street.
First on your stop is Kid's house, the rain reminded you of him back in the underground and so he was the first on your mind. You knock on his door and wait for an answer. You hear some stumbling and a loud crash, some more stumbling and the door opens.
"Oh hey Frisk!"
"Hey Kid."
"What's up?"
You tell him about the conference and how they want monsters that are close to you to go as well.
"Oh, cool! That sounds fun."
You nod, then tell him you've got to get going to tell your other friends about it too.
"Oh, mind if I come with you? It's getting pretty boring in here."
You nod again, and the two of you walk together again under the umbrella, reminiscent of your time in the underground.
You stop by Undyne and Alphys's house next. Undyne answered the door but her face was flushed and her shirt was on backwards, she seemed to be in a hurry to get back at whatever she was doing. weird
You then go to Toriel's who offers for the two of you to come inside and sit down for a while, which you agree to. She gives you some tea and little snail finger-sandwich's, which you check the flavor text for that says "technically slugs, but who cares it's gross". You eat it anyway and catch Toriel up about how you've been and that you have been working on your homework, she's quite proud of you for that. You don't stay too long though, you want to go tell your friends about the conference before dark and so you make your goodbyes to Toriel and head out the door.
Next stop is Mettaton, who is excited to meet leaders from around the world because it will definitely boost his fame. He then starts posing and talking to himself about his future fans and how much they'll love him, you leave him to it as you head over to your last stop at Sans and Papyrus's house.
You get to their house, but only Sans is there. Apparently Papyrus was out being a crossing guard since one of the traffic lights was out. Sans offers for the two of you to come in and chill on the couch for a while. He doesn't really care about the conference too much, all it means is more work for him to actually make it there instead of sitting on his couch all day.
The three of you chat for a bit, then decide to watch some TV together. Not too long after you start watching, Kid starts to fall asleep and soon Sans and you are the only ones (present) there.
"hey, i need to show you something."
"What is it?"
"c'mere, i think it has something to do with the missing monsters."
This immediately grabs your attention and the two of you head off to the side.
"look at this."
You takes out his phone and shows you a slightly blurry white and green picture. You take a closer look and see that it looks like a white van on the street with some nondistinctive green logo on the side.
"It's just a white van, what does that have to do with anything?"
"look closer at the window."
And so you do. You're inches away from the screen and see a small pink blob in the window with black hands around it. Your eyes bulge and you take a step back.
"Is that..?"
"ya"
"The ferry monster? I just saw him yesterday!"
"you did? where?"
"At the creek, I wanted to see where he'd take me so I stepped on his face. Then there was this house that only wanted to hear me knock like in Snowdin, then I went back to the creek and he was gone. That was also when I found myself in some strange neighborhood."
"a strange neighborhood?"
"Ya, I was actually on my way to see you and I was in this neighborhood where all of the houses looked exactly the same. It when on for miles and miles, it felt like it would never end. Then when I got to your house, it was gone. It somehow disappeared and was replaced by the usual next door neighborhood. But I think I was just really tired or something."
"frisk."
"Ya?"
"i think that might have something to do with the monsters disappearing."
"Really? You think so?"
"i'm not sure, i'll have to check into it, but it's the best lead we've got."
"Great, we're getting somewhere."
The two of you head back over to Kid, Sans seems distracted and stuck in his head. Not too long after, Kid wakes up and you decide it's time to go. You tell Sans to keep you updated with what he might find out, and you leave with Kid into the now dark street.
It doesn't take too long to head back to Kid's house to drop him off, he didn't talk very much but he did do lots of yawning. You tell him goodnight as he practically stumbles into his house and most likely onto his bed.
Making your way back to Asgore's house, you see a small white monster that almost looks like a small white turnip. You recognize him from waterfall and go say hi, though he seems distracted by the sky. You look up to see that the clouds from earlier had dissipated and the sky was clear and almost every single star was visible. You softly gasp at the beautiful view.
"So these are stars.."
You nod at him.
"I thought they would be more edible."
You chuckle, then leave him be to his stargazing.
A/N: Stars are friggin' cool.
