A knife was twirling in their hands. They were hiding... Somewhere. Who was this person? Frisk had no idea. It was a dream, so it was probably not even a real person. They were cutting themselves. They cut themselves very slowly across their legs. They made many, many cuts. Around twenty on each leg. They let out a yelp. Then they cut their arms. They cut all over their arms. Their had to be at least eighty cuts on each arm. They were sobbing. Frisk awoke.
"NYEH HEH HEH! HELLO FRISK, HOW ARE YOU TODAY? ARE YOU READY FOR THE SNOW AND HOME RUN?" Papyrus asked.
"I'm... good. But, the Snow and Home what now?" Frisk gorggily asked.
Frisk heard a yawn from behind her. "heya, frisk. every year, around this time, there's a big run that everyone does where we run from the ruins exit all the way to the elevator to the castle. everyone's gotta do it."
"AND YOU'LL DO IT WITH SANS AND I, FRISK!" Papyrus said.
"Okay..." Frisk said. She was rubbing her eyes. Frisk was not ready to do that long of a run. But she had to, didn't she? Sans had just said that. Frisk decided she wanted to be prepared for the run. "What's for breakfast?"
"oh, yeah. papy always makes the best breakfast every day. i'll let you have a guess," Sans said
"SPAGHETTI!" Papyrus screeched in joy at the top of his lungs. Well, if he had lungs. Frisk really like Papyrus's spaghetti. She didn't understand how anyone couldn't. "I'LL GET TO WORK ON IT NOW. IT WILL BE AROUND FIVE TO TEN MINUTES."
"Okay. Could I go shower?" Frisk asked. Sans pointed to a door she hadn't seen before. It was on the side of the stairs.
"in there. i had a feelin' you would want to do that, so i went to tori's last night and grabbed your clothes, they're already in there for ya," Sans said. Frisk thanked him and went to the restroom.
She went in and turned on the nice, hot shower. She let the water soak into her hair. Frisk hadn't realized how filthy it had become. She cleansed her body. Frisk found many bruises and cuts she didn't know that she had. It felt good to be clean again. It took Frisk around thirty minutes to shower, dry off, and get dressed. Her hair was sopping wet when she came out.
"oh, yeah... hair dryer," Sans laughed, "forgot you need one of those. be right back." Sans shortcut away and was back in less than a minute. He handed it over as Papyrus screamed.
"SPAGHETTI IS READY!" Frisk and Sans chuckled. Frisk went back into the restroom and dryed her hair. She came out to a happy Papyrus devouring spaghetti. Frisk saw a plate of untouched spaghetti and also devoured it. She was happy to get to spend some time with the skelebros. Frisk felt that they had bonded.
"alright. you two ready? let's head over, i'll shortcut us there," Sans said, putting out his hands. Frisk grabbed one and Papyrus grabbed the other. They teleported to the entrance of the Ruins. Frisk saw Chara and Asriel instantaneously, even though there were thousand, maybe even millions of other monsters in the area.
"Howdy, Frisk! Howdy, Papyrus! Hi Sans," Asriel said.
"Hi Frisk. Hey Sans. Hello Papyrus," Chara mumbled.
"heya, kid. hello, asriel," Sans said.
"HELLO, HUMAN! GREETINGS, ASRIEL!" Papyrus greeted.
"Hey, Chara! Hi, Asriel!" Frisk exclaimed.
"You guys ready for the race?" Asriel asked. Frisk and Papyrus nodded.
"no, no, and no. Aas you could probably tell, i don't exercise much. but, hey," Sans said. He chuckled and winked as he said the next part, "that's what two jobs will do to you." Chara giggled a bit. Asriel laughed. Papyrus stared dead cold at Sans. Frisk laughed.
"HOW ABOUT YOU TWO? ARE YOU READY TO COMPETE AGAINST OTHERS IN THE SNOW AND HOME RUN?" Papyrus asked. Chara shrugged.
"Yeah, I think so!" Asriel said.
Suddenly, they all heard a loud noise and then a voice. "Howdy! Howdy! Is this on? Alphys, is it on? Yes? So, everyone can hear me right now? Are you sure, they all look confused, Alphys. Oh, they're confused because they can hear me? Okay then. Howdy everyone! I'm your king, Asgore Dreemurr. Who all here is ready for the annual Snow and Home run?!" A cheer exploded through the crowd. "Alright. Here we go. Three!"
"Two!"
"ONE!"
"R U N!"
Everyone started jogging. Frisk, Asriel, Chara, and Papyrus all kept a steady pace throughout the entirety of the nine hours they ran. It was around six at night when they were done. Tiredly, the group split ways. Asriel and Asgore went to Asgore's home. Papyrus waited for Sans to finish. Frisk and Chara found Toriel, who had finished earlier, and let her take them to her own house. Tiredly, Frisk and Chara both climbed into their beds.
Frisk yawned and they said, "Goodnight, Chara..."
"'Night, Frisk..."
Frisk fell asleep. She had no dreams this night.
