Hey guys! Arana here…. With the group from last chapter?

(Surprised screeches come from behind Arana, although one sounded like hiccuping)

And that's there reaction to OfLifeDeathAndAllBetween.

Anyways, the poll on my profile is now closed. And, I am happy to say, the Cover Art Contest is up and running! Just go to my Devianart page, FannatheUnifurian, and go look at the journal entry that is the contest. This will end next Friday, so do your best!

Hey, you wanna help with the spread of Gumdrops? Make some fan art! Write a fanfic! Make a comic! Just make sure to tell people who the original story belongs to.

I need help! I want to make a theme for Frisk, but I am horrible at making music. I was feeling like a mix of His Theme, Heartache, Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap, Undertale, Finale, Don't Give Up, Hopes and Dreams/Save the World/Last Goodbye, and Megalovania. If you can make this happen, please make it and send me the end result. I wish to hear it!

Do you want to help create Gumdrops? Have an idea you'd like to see the cast play out? Put it a review! If it inspires me, the chapter it's in shall have your name in it.

And now, onto the story!

Chapter 24- Experiments

"hey, undyne," Sans said as he walked into the room of the house~the Dreemurr family had allowed Frisk's close monster friends live in the mansion they had somehow managed to afford~and noticed the fish monster. "have you seen frisk?"

"I think she and Alphys went down to the lab to test out some of Frisk's abilities in the Determination-Magic Wing," Undyne said with a roll of her eye. "And Frisk asked that when I saw you, to send you down there."

"oh," Sans chuckled. "thanks."

One of the first things that the new residents of the mansion did was remodel some of the basement floors~there was more than one floor in the basement~into a lab, split into a eight wings: Determination, Bravery, Justice, Kindness, Patience, Integrity, Perseverance, and Magic. Each of the fallen children went to each respectful wing, while the monsters went to the Magic Wing to practice.

However, as Frisk was a special case, they made it so that parts of the Magic and Determination Wings would overlap, creating the DM Wing. This was so Frisk could practice her magic abilities as well as her determination-blood reservoirs. Frisk, who had been practicing ever since she discovered her powers, did not really wanted monsters to be splattered with her determination, so she would practice in a enclosed lab space.

Alphys, who would keep track of most achievements Frisk achieved. She also did some research on ways to help Frisk grow in her abilities~even giving her a shot of determination, with the consent of Toriel.

That had caused Frisk to feel like she was on fire, but had greatly upped her resistance to loss of determination, as well as boosting her HP.

So, as Sans took the elevator down to the Determination and Magic wings~they were on the same floor~he thought of why Frisk and Alphys would need him there. Sure, he did have some resistance to determination~most skeletons did, although not as much as Frisk~he usually kept away from it.

When he did finally get to the DM Wing's main room, he saw that Frisk and Alphys were waiting for him.

"Finally!" Frisk cried, laughing. "We've been waiting for thirty minutes for you!"

"what do you need my help for?" Sans chuckled with a tilt of his head.

"We need some samples of your magic," Alphys laughed, her stutter barely there. "For our next experiment."

Sans raised a brow. "ok," he said, summoning a few bones, which were immediately grabbed by Frisk…

...who then went into the Determination chamber, placing the bones in a large bin, which had some of her own bones in it.

"uh," Sans said, confused. "what do you need samples of my magic for?"

"Just watch," Alphys said, already scribbling down notes.

So, Sans watched through the thick glass, as Frisk summoned a pretty large glob of determination…. And put it in the bin with the bones.

In moments, all the bones melted down into a large, white goop. Frisk then created a large stirring spoon with her determination, using her red hands to stir the stuff while a second pair of red hands brought over a mold.

A mold that was in the shape of a Gasterblaster.

"is she doing what i think she's doing?" Sans said, almost nervously.

"She's trying to improve on her blaster," Alphys sighed.

Sans felt a eerie cold in his bones. Frisk was dead set on making her own Gasterblaster~and now he knew just why she had needed samples of his magic.

She had figured out it was a family thing.

So, with a sense of dread, he watched as she carefully poured the white goop into the blaster mold. Once it was full, she managed to mold what was left of the goop into bone shapes, then somehow separated the determination from the magic. She did the same with the blaster, and in moments she was able to hold the bones without them melting.

Then, the bones disappeared, and Frisk started to take the mold of the blaster.

Sans looked at Alphys, who was still scribbling notes. How she even allowed this to go on was beyond him, but Sans just shifted his gaze back into the chamber.

Just in time to see the blaster, with red magic, blast a target set up at the back of the room.

Sans then did something he normally didn't do~not since the first few Resets.

He fainted.
