Part 12: Game Face
"Are you sure you've never played Candy Stomp before?" asked Frisk.
She was staring at the screen of her PC as Baagh ran up the highest score she had ever seen... on her first try. It was almost like Baagh know what candy was going to fall and where every pattern was in the candy screen.
"I promise you," replied Baagh, "I've never even seen a persona computer before."
"Personal computer," she corrected.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't worry," she replied as she placed a hand on Baagh's shoulder, "I'm glad we met."
"Thank you."
"You deserve a better life than under that bridge," she added, "I... just feel it."
Baagh turned sideways to hug Frisk's torso.
"Thank you," she sniffed, "big sister."
"No prob," she replied as she hugged the new girl in the Dreemurr house.
"There's only one problem..."
"What's that?" asked Frisk.
"Seeing all this candy... it's making me hungry again."
Frisk suppressed a giggle, but not very well. "It's lucky I keep a stash of sweets in here. Asgore has... a heck of a sweet tooth. I can't keep any candy around here with him around as long as I don't hide it from him." She opened a drawer on the lower left side of her desk and it was filled with a mix of candies.
"Oh my..." she replied as she snatched out a red and white striped candy cane.
Frisk nodded to her as she started sucking on it. "You're supposed to remove the plastic wrap first," she added.
"Oh..." she mused as she tore off the clear plastic wrapper with her teeth, "No wonder I couldn't taste anything."
"You are a precious one, aren't you?" she giggled.
She could see Baagh blushing badly as she turned back to the computer and continued playing.
"Wait," she said after a few moments, "Why aren't there any more levels?"
"The game only goes up to level 150 at the moment," she replied, "You've beaten the whole game."
"Is... that good?"
"That's amazing!" gushed Frisk.
"Ah... g'wan," she stammered back.
"I guess now that you've handled the easy game..."
She blinked, but a voice called from the floor below, "It's time for lunch, my children!"
"Coming Mom!" replied Frisk.
"Wash your hands first!' she added.
"Always, Mom!" she replied. Then she turned to look at Baagh and said, "Well, that was a fast four hours, eh?"
"I guess," she replied as she stood up.
"I'll shut down the computer before we go," added Frisk as she closed the game window and started the shut down process.
They went to the upstairs bathroom and washed their hands thoroughly before they went down stairs.
"What smells so good, mom?" asked Frisk as they walked into the kitchen.
Sitting at the table was a smiling King Asgore.
"Your highness," said Baagh as she bowed to him.
"Don't be so formal, my child," he replied, "You can call me 'dad' if you like."
"Okay dad," she replied with a smile.
Toriel turned from the stove as she said, "I'm trying a new recipe today: Snail pie with salt pork and walnuts."
"That sound delicious," she replied.
Baagh nodded in agreement.
Her eyes practically bugged out of her head when Tori brought the pie to the table. It was a good 24 inches across and surely the oven only had enough room for one of them. It was also several inches deep at the center. Then she brought out the cleaver to cut it with.
The King was drooling just a little in anticipation of the forth coming meal.
"You will make sure you eat too?" asked Frisk.
"Yes dear," he added, "You are eating for two... or more now."
"I am aware of that, honey," replied Tori, "but a good cook always feeds themselves last."
"I'll make sure that there's something left for goat-mom," replied Frisk as she shot a look at Asgore.
He smiled sheepishly as he looked back. The last time Tori made a snail pie, he ate a good two thirds of it and barely left any for the chef after Frisk and Undyne had some as well.
"Did you have trouble getting past the protesters?" she asked.
"Oh, I'm a good half again as tall as any of them," he replied, "A growl and a stare was all it took to clear a path to the house."
"You are kind of intimidating," said Baagh.
"Thank you, my dear," he said as he smiled broadly.
"Only until you know what he's really like," said Tori as she cut the pie.
"Yet you two... you spent hundreds of years apart," replied Baagh.
Asgore stopped and looked down at the table. Tori was shaken enough that she cut her thumb with the knife.
"Mom," said Frisk as she jumped up, "You're bleeding!"
She looked at her thumb as she said, "Oh, it's not bad."
"I'll get the first aid kit!" replied Frisk as she rushed out of the room.
"I'm... so sorry..." sighed Baagh.
"No, don't apologize," he replied, "For a long time, I... wasn't myself... I wasn't the kind, gentle soul that Tori fell in love with... and married. After the pain of losing both Chara and Asriel... I went a bit... crazy..."
"And I... abandoned you... in your time of need..." sniffed Toriel.
"You weren't wrong to go," he mused, "but the pain of losing you as well... I blamed it all on the humans!" He ire raised as he said it.
"It was wrong of me to leave," she replied, "You suffered so much... I was so blind to your pain... blinded by my own grief..."
"I didn't help," he added, "Each time a human came from the ruins... they died so I could take their soul... six poor humans... dead from my rage."
"Each time a human left me," she added, "My own grief increased... I couldn't protect... any of them." She wiped her flowing tears from her eyes with a wipe of her sleeve.
"Things would still be like that if Frisk... wasn't the seventh human... that fell into our Underground. She was different. More determined that any other human I have ever met. She made me see what I was doing wrong. She convinced the God of Hyperdeath to let us go free."
"He reminded me... of someone... I once loved..." sniffed Tori.
Frisk returned with the first aid kit.
"I had the feeling I knew them as well..." he agreed.
"What happened?" asked Baagh.
"After Frisk saved us and broke the barrier... we never saw him again."
"I see."
"But that's not important," sniffed Tori as Frisk began bandaging her thumb, "My husband is back to being the monster I married... and I'm very happy again."
"I'm happy that I'm back to my old self too," agreed Asgore, "Even as I raged against the humans... the voice in the back of my head was telling me that I was doing wrong by them."
"Well this one... should have the life that they deserve... even if they will never truly replace Asriel," said the King as he looked as his wife's growing belly.
"I hope so too," she agreed.
"I hope that I can be a big sister to whoever the newborn turns out to be," added Frisk.
"I'm sure you'll be a great sister," agreed Tori as she went back to slicing the pie.
'I wonder how Baagh knew about the Kind and Queen's separation?' mused Frisk, 'I didn't mention it. Maybe Sans or Flowey did... But we haven't been apart that much since she came here... when would she have had the time to chat with either of them? Well, I guess it's no big deal.'
The King eagerly held is knife and fork as Tori set almost half the pie in front of him.
Frisk narrowed her eyes as he looked at her.
"What?" he asked.
"Your gut is going to be as big as goat-mom's if you keep eating like this," she scolded him.
Tori smirked as he got a sheepish look on his face.
"I'm sure you can help him work it off," said Tori with a smile.
"Oh... I'm sure we can," agreed Frisk with a dark grin and a glint in her right eye.
Asgore ignored it as he tore into his lunch. Tori set about a third of what was left in front of Frisk, and another in front of Baagh. The last piece went onto her own plate as she sat down.
"This is... is... AMAZING!" said Baagh as she ravenously ate her piece.
"Thank you, my child," said Tori as she ate hers more daintily.
The King attacked his food with a ferocity that exceeded that of Baagh. Only Tori was left eating after the other three had cleaned their plates.
"There's more protesters by the hour," said Sans as he walked in, "I'm worried if something triggers... what's that wonderful smell?"
"My new snail pie recipe," said Tori, "Would you like..."
"No!" said Asgore and Frisk as one, "That's her food and she has to eat it!"
"That's cool," replied Sans, "I know that she's eating for two, and I have plenty of ketchup to get me through my shift." He pulled a bottle from his jacket pocket even as he said it.
"I promise that next time I make this, I'll save you some," said Tori.
"Sounds awesome," said the skeleton guard.
