The Birthday Boy (ゴッドモードアー(Goddomodoaku)) (God-mode Arc)
The alarm clock on Frisk's bed went off for at least 3 or 4 minutes before Frisk woke up enough to turn it off. Frisk groaned and tried to open his eyes, still drowsy from the night of homework and ambassador obligations before. It was around 8:00am, September 3rd, and on a Friday, no less! Fantastic. Late for school, and on his birthday, too.
"Ugh. Great. I can't believe I really have to go today." Frisk croaked, still sleep-drunk.
"Well, I can at least get re-wait a sec. Is my clock right? Oh my God! I'm late for school! Aww, dammit! I knew I shouldn't have did that paperwork for my passport!"
Upon learning his body decided to take the morning off, Frisk woke himself up as best as he could, and scrambled to find some clothes to wear. Cursing himself while he scrubbed the scent of last night's junk food and video games, he rushed to dry himself off and throw his clothes on. Afterwards, he scrounged up all his paperwork, and sped down the stairs to get something to eat. But as he rushed out the door, he stopped for a split second and noticed a black curtain covering the entrance of the living room.
"Wait, what the hell is this doing here?" Asked Frisk.
"Isn't dark and creepy more of Chara's thing? There's no way Toriel would want this up there. Forget it. It's going down. If Chara don't like it, she can bite me for all I care."
But as Frisk began to dispel the foreign shawl, he saw something even better behind it. It was all his friends from the underground. Toriel, Asgore, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Asriel, Chara. Even his own skele-brothers were there. They all cheerfully roared.
"SURPRISE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRISK!"
What's happening? Why did they do this just for me? Did I really forget my own birthday? These were all questions Frisk had zooming through his mind, yet all he could do was stare at them all, smile on his face, mouth agate.
"What? Huh… how'd you…?" Frisk finally managed.
"Come on, little bro." Sans replied warmly.
"Do you really think we'd just forget your birthday like that? Give me a little credit; I'm not THAT lazy."
"Sans is right!" Agreed Papyrus.
"I, the great Papyrus, would NEVER forget a birthday, especially if that day belongs to my family. It's just how great I am."
"That is true, big bro. That is true. Who knows? Maybe some of your greatness is rubbing off on me." Frisk said, now placcid from the bad start of his morning.
For a split second, he remembered why he was rushing in the first place.
"Oh no. I just remembered why I was running out the door. Sorry guys. I'll be right b-"
"Not so fast!" Toriel interjected before Frisk could break into a mad dash to school.
"I think it would be nice if you got stay home from school, just this once, my child."
"I'm sorry ma'am, but with all due respect, I have to go! I'm late!"
"What do you mean 'you're late'? You don't have to go today."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Chara, Asriel, would you like to tell him?"
Then came the future king of monsters with his sister by his side. He stopped just in front of the birthday boy.
"So, yeah. About that, uhhh…" Asriel tries to start without being blunt.
"Mom called in. Told them she was taking you out of school for the day. Said we could stay home, too." Chara blurted out recklessly.
"Chara, I wanted to tell him!"
"You were taking too long! Next time, you either tell someone something, or you don't! It's literally too easy."
"So? We agreed I could tell him last night, remember?"
"No, you asked me if I would let you tell him, and I said 'fine, but don't take too long, and no sugarcoating it'."
"Chara!"
"Okay, that's enough, you two." Asgore boomed in a pacified manner.
"Although it is true. Frisk, you have the entire day off, and you don't have to worry about school for today, so what do you say we have some fun instead?"
Asgore held tickets to an amusement park. Frisk was ecstatic. He happily accepted the tickets, and they were all on their way to an amusement park named Edwin's Escapades.
