"Gaster sweetie. It's time to wake up."
Gaster blinked a few times to see his mom hovering over him with a warm but nervous smile. She was a skeleton like him, but was always wearing an apron. She was the dictionary definition of a housewife.
"Mom. What time is it," Gaster groggily asked.
"It's 8. We have to get moving soon. We don't want to keep Asgore waiting."
Asgore, Gaster's best friend he had known since kindergarten, would now be his dormmate. Gaster was excited about going to college but the one thing in his way would be his new dormmate. Gaster was always very awkward around people and was very shy, but when Asgore had asked which college he would be going to and he said Ebott University Asgore smiled and said they should be dormmates. That made things a whole lot easier for Gaster.
"Ok mom I'll start getting ready to go."
His mom smiled but there was a hint of sadness in it. This would be the first time Gaster would be away from home.
Gaster's mom then left the room to allow Gaster to get ready.
Before getting ready, Gaster looked around his room. A lot of his decorations were taken down and put into some moving boxes. Ebott was a couple of hours away and Gaster would only be able to visit home during breaks. After today, the next time Gaster would be able to see his parents again would be during Thanksgiving break. Oddly enough the only decoration that was left was a picture of him and Asgore on their graduation day. His mom rushed to get the picture developed after she took it. It was put in a frame that said class of 1989. Asgore had the brightest smile with his fangs shining in the light.
A lot of people have thought Asgore and Gaster were a strange group of friends. Asgore was popular, president of the student council, and played sports. In fact, Asgore got a scholarship to Ebott University to play football. Asgore had told Gaster that he didn't want to play football as a career and wasn't even sure what he would major in, but a scholarship was a scholarship. Asgore loved playing sports either way. Gaster was the polar opposite. He didn't have any other friends besides Asgore. The only club Gaster was in was a science club. Gaster was in all honors classes and was a straight A's student. In fact, Gaster was valedictorian. Gaster ended up giving a pretty awkward speech about everyone's future but Asgore still congratulated him on it, saying it was fantastic. Gaster was sure Asgore would've given a much more inspiring speech.
Gaster looked at the picture and smiled. He really couldn't have asked for a better friend than Asgore. Gaster then started to get ready putting on his favorite cloak.
Gaster walked downstairs to see his mom pacing a little bit while his dad was reading from a newspaper. His mom stopped pacing when she saw him, and his dad put his newspaper down and went up to him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Well well. I see a wonderful college student. Are you ready sport?"
Gaster nodded and his dad smiled. Gaster's dad was a pretty busy man trying to support his small family, but always cared an awfully lot. He was a little bit older than Gaster's mom but not by too much. Over the years, his vision had degraded so now he always had to wear glasses.
Gaster's mom spoke up. "I need to take a picture with the both of you."
Gaster's dad chuckled a bit while his mom grabbed the camera. He put his hand back on Gaster's shoulder and they both faced his mom. They both smiled for the camera. Flash.
"Great! Honey. Can you get a picture of me and Wingy?"
Gaster fought the urge to roll his eyes to roll his eyes at his mom's nickname. The W.D. in his name stood for WingDings so sometimes his mom shortened that part of his name. WingDings was a font and for as long as he could remember it was a tradition in his family for them to be named after fonts. He would probably carry the same tradition to his future kids as long as his future wife was ok with it.
Gaster's dad nodded and took the camera from his mom. His mom wrapped her arms around Gaster and both smiled at the camera. Flash.
"Ok. I'm done with pictures for now, but I'll take more once we get to Ebott. Are you ready sweetie?"
All of the stuff Gaster was taking to his dorm was being transported in his car and his parents' car, so they were going to take two cars.
Gaster nodded and his mom smiled softly.
"Ok then. Let's go!"
