"Uuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhh, it's sooooooo hoooooot!"
Frisk was upside down on the couch, a fan plugged to the nearest outlet. It was by her face, attempting to cool her down. The fan wasn't doing much for her, as her entire body was sticky and hot and disgusting and sweaty.
Beside her was Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys. They also didn't look very hot. Frisk giggled to herself despite that, realizing she unintentionally made a pun as well as a contradiction. Everyone was hot, but she decided that Sans would appreciate it. Sans's back was leaning against Papyrus arm, the brothers also struggling in the heat. Undyne has plenty of water with her but it wasn't helping much. Alphys was leaning on her girlfriend, with one of those mini portable fans. It also wasn't helping.
"I said I was happy to meet the sun," Papyrus told them. His face contorted in comical anger. "I regret saying that! This is absolutely dreadful!"
"You could say that again!" Undyne groaned in frustration, putting an arm and covered her eyes. "Ugh, Frisk! How do you stand this?!"
"The heat in the summer isn't usually this bad." Frisk increased the power of the fan. It blew chilly air a little stronger but despite that, it didn't help much. "But this year...! It's the worst so far, I think!"
"Yeah, no kidding." Alphys glared at her portable fan.
Toriel was out meeting some friends, so the 5 of them were left to suffer in the heat together at Frisk's house. Frisk's phone started to ring, so she took it out of her pocket and looked. Her best friend was calling.
"Hey, Jess." From the corner of her eye, she saw her friends staring curiously at her as she started talking. "What's up?"
"Ugh, Frisk, you gotta help me!" Jess's voice said in despair. "The heat is killing me!"
Frisk giggled. "Jess, I'm not doing much better here at home. I'm dying, please send help."
"Why must the weather forsake us?"
"Maybe it has a grudge against us or something," Frisk said jokingly. Jess exploded on the other side of the line, making Frisk burst into laughter. She had an idea. "Hey, do you wanna come over?"
"Dude, I'm too hot to even move from my room. Sorry, Frisk. I think I'll pass for today. The heat has to go away first."
"Yeah."
"Anyway, I gotta go. Talk to you later."
"Okay, bye!" Frisk hung up and put her phone back in her pocket.
"Who was that?" Sans asked. Beads of sweat littered his skull and he may as well have been a waterfall. Frisk wiped her own sweat away with the back of her hand.
"Oh, just my best friend. She's also suffering."
"I mean, who isn't?" Frisk shrugged at his rhetorical question.
Wanting to forget a bit of her suffering, Frisk took out her laptop and decided to turn it on. Maybe she could play video games. She placed it on the small table and proceeded to browse through social media first.
After not finding anything worth her time, she went on Discord to talk to more friends and proceeded to turn on Steam to play her games. She scrolled through the missed messages and her eyes suddenly widened. The next few lines, conversations between her friends, that caught her attention.
kono dio da: Guys, Burgerpants and Phil's now delivers!
JoooooooooooooJo: Omg really?
kono dio da: yee
Princess Booty: Time to get me some Nice Cream, lads.
Frisk typed on her keyboard swiftly. It earned the stares of her friends.
frisky_taking_riskies: Holy...! I was not aware of this! Nice Cream would definitely help against this weather!
kono dio da: Go for it!
Frisk searched for Burgerpants and Phil's store website. After quickly scanning through the page, it did mention that their delivery system was new.
She gasped dramatically. "Oh. My. Goooosssshhh!"
Everyone was startled and they sat up a little straighter.
"Human, are you okay?"
"Punk, what's the deal?! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"You good, Frisk?"
"W-What's up, Frisk?"
Frisk stood up and quickly dialled in the phone number of the store. She smiled sheepishly at her friends and dashed away to the kitchen.
"Uh, be right back, guys!"
The Monsters exchanged looks as they watched Frisk sprint towards the kitchen.
"Any idea what's going on?" Undyne asked them.
"Haven't got a clue," Papyrus said, slight worry in his voice.
"Nope."
"I-I have no idea."
Undyne sighed, sinking into the couch. "Huh." She blew some stray hair from her face.
"Hello, Burgerpants?" Frisk was doing her best to keep her voice down so that her friends wouldn't hear. She wanted to surprise them with some desserts.
"Hey, is that you, little buddy?"
"Uh huh!"
"How have you been, Frisk?"
"Dude, the heat is killing me and my friends at home," she informed him while keeping her voice quiet. "I wanna surprise them with some Nice Cream."
"Yeah, the heat is intense! Anyway, how many Nice Creams would you like?" He asked.
"Five, please."
"Alright, that will be $25 in total. I'll stop by your house in approximately 15-20 minutes. Be seeing you, little buddy."
"Alright, bye!"
Frisk exited the kitchen, trying not to look suspicious at all. Unfortunately, Sans was a master at reading people and picked up on Frisk's mischievous expression.
"That look on your face..." Normally, he would know what to say after reading her expression. Despite knowing that something was up, he didn't know what exactly. "What was that all about, Frisk?"
She shrugged. "Nothing!" Her friends all shot her an incredulous expression but she chose to ignore it and went to play some video games. Sans's sockets narrowed in suspicion but chose to drop the matter.
For the next 15 minutes, Frisk played Hollow Knight while also chatting with her friends on Discord. She had the fan beside her. Meanwhile, her friends were also slouching on the couch, clearly still suffering from the heat as they engaged in idle chatter. After that, Frisk grew bored and went upstairs to get her Switch. She chose to play Mario Kart, Discord still open to chat with friends.
It was then when she heard knocking upon her door.
"Oh! I wonder who that could be," Papyrus mused. Frisk smiled, pausing her game and standing up.
"I got it!"
Her friends watched in utter confusions as she rushed to the door and gently opened it.
"Hey, Burgerpants!" She grinned.
"Heya, Frisk! I've got your Nice Creams here."
"Sweet!" Frisk gave him the money owed and took the small bag from him. "How have you been?"
He shrugged. "Meh, the heat is bad, but at least business has been doing great! With the weather all hot and stuff, people have been coming to our store or ordering online."
"That's great!"
After bidding Burgerpants a good day, Frisk closed the door and rushed to the living room.
"Who was that?" Alphys asked.
Frisk grinned and set the bag down. "Our saviour of today."
"Huh?" All her friends said at once.
One by one, Frisk took out the Nice Creams and set them down on the table. Her friends eyes lit up.
"OH!" They all seem to exclaim at once.
They all greedily grabbed one for themselves. Frisk took hers and tore the wrapping paper off. "You look nice today!" it read. She smiled and took a bite.
"Mmm, yum."
"Wow, thanks Frisk. Didja pay for all these?" Undyne asked. Frisk nodded her head.
"Yup. Now you guys owe me," she told them them with a cheeky smile. They all groaned.
"I already owe Grillby, Frisk. I can't owe you, too!" Sans complained. Frisk laughed in response. She devoured her dessert in seconds. "Yum, that was so good."
"These are splendid," Papyrus complimented. "Perfect weather for something cold." Frisk snorted. Phil told her the exact opposite while she was in Snowdin.
"It's the perfect weather for something cold," he had lamented, on a cold winter day.
"Yeah. At least it'll keep us... cool. Right, Paps?" Sans turned to Frisk and winked and she erupted into laughter as Papyrus screeched. Alphys groaned.
"I can't deal with this right now," she grumbled.
"I hate you, Sans." Undyne glared at him with her one eye, menacingly.
"Ouch, that's cold, Undyne." Another snort from Frisk. She coughed.
"YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Undyne bellowed. She threatened to throw her dessert onto Sans's face, and his shit eating grin. Frisk's kept laughing.
"SANS, PLEASE DON'T RUIN THE MOOD WITH YOUR GOD-AWFUL PUNS!"
"Aw, don't give me the cold shoulder, Papyrus." Frisk had to put her dessert down as she collapsed onto the ground in giggles.
"SAAAAAAAANS!"
Frisk sat back up. "Yikes, Papyrus. You need to chill."
"..."
Undyne screamed and chucked a pillow at Frisk, who tilted her head and laughed as she dodged it. Sans erupted into laughter, holding his stomach.
"NOT YOU TOO, FRISK! NYOO HOO HOO!"
Frisk grinned and went back to her dessert, as did everyone else. They were now very cool!
