It was a day after the dogs arrived, when I received a call from pepper.
"hey pepper what's up? " I asked
"not much, just wondering if you guys are going to Tony's annual Christmas eve party? "pepper asked
"wouldn't miss it for the world. "I said as I walked past Lilith and gave her a pet on the head.
"I'm glad to hear that, tony wants to showcase monster talent, know any one who DJ's? " she asked
"well there's napstablook, I can talk to metta about it. " I said as I walked down the stairs.
"thanks sable, I'll send you the details later. " pepper said as we hung up.
"morn doll. " red gruffly said as he walked into the kitchen, taking a seat when I waved my hand signaling that I would get him some coffee.
"morning red. " I replied as I poured two cups of coffee adding cream and sugar to mine and leaving red's black.
We were quietly sipping our coffee enjoying each others company when fell stomped into the kitchen. "RED YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. BOTH YOU AND SABLE WILL RUN WITH MYSELF, THE OTHERS AND UNDYNE. AND NO MAGIC! " fell yelled his hands on his hips.
"ugh.. Fine boss. " red said as he chugged his coffee.
"OK just give me five minutes to suit up. " I said as I finished my own coffee and went back to my room.
I walked over to my closet pulling an oaken chest from the way back, placing it on my bed before I opened it. Upon opening it I was greeted by an one sleeved coal black long sleeved shirt, a black leather harness for my blade and guns, a pair of coal black cargo pants that held more essentials that I needed for missions, my stiletto boots with blades in the heels, and lastly a pair of goggles, a face mask and a stick of eye black. After getting dressed, I stood in front of my mirror and pulled the cap off of the eye black, bringing it around my orbital socket as a plan to humble fell a bit formed in my brain a smirk on my face.
"come on Lilith, we're going for a little morning run. " I said as I patted my femur, and headed down the stairs, where red and fell were waiting for me.
"can you even run in those? " fell asked when he saw the boots I was wearing.
"not only can I run in these, but I can kick ass in them too. " I said as I walked out the front door my hips swaying as I walked with Lilith and Azazel on either side of me.
I had just arrived to the training field with fell and red following behind me. Paps and blue were jogging in place, they had on basketball shorts and crop tops that read jogging boi. Black was in his battle body per usual, his left hip jutting out while he had his arms crossed and tapping his foot. Undyne who turns out was the fish woman who walked besides frisk and Toriel when the monsters got free, she was wearing black yoga pants, with a matching workout bra. While sans, stretch, and mutt sat on a bench being lazy.
"SISTER ARE YOU TO BE RUNNING WITH US, THIS FINE MORNING? " paps asked as I walked up to him and blue.
"sure am paps. " I happily said as I went to the back of the group with red, black and blue were in front of us with paps, fell, and undyne taking the lead positions. "MUTT. NOW THAT EVERYONE IS IN PLACE, START THE RACE! " black yelled
"as you wish mi'lord. " he said as he stood up
"on your mark,
Get set,
Go! " mutt yelled as we started running.
I stayed with red the both of us just walking at a leisurely pace, while the others ran ahead, paps and blue offering us encouragement when ever they lapped us, black looked apathetic at us.
"red when I give the signal would you mind making some bone walls for me? " I asked
"uh... Why? " he askes
"nothing bad just to prove a point. " I said as my smirk grew.
"sure thing doll. " red said his face getting the same smirk as mine.
Fell was lapping us for the fourth time when he said, " YOU TRULY ARE AS USELESS AS RED. "
As he picked his pace back up I started to jog. When I got level with undyne and paps Lilith and Azazel keeping up with me, I once again picked up my pace trailing fell then moving so I could pass on his left.
"on your left. " I said as I ran past him
"on your left. "I said as I passed fell for a fourth time, causing fell to let out a scream of frustration.
"now red. " I said as I ran pass red
I then picked up my pace running full tilt as red summoned five 15' walls of bone each about ten feet apart. I kept my pace as I neared the first wall, my left foot making contact about three feet up the wall allowing me to use my momentum to run up the wall, grasping the top of the wall with my right hand as I vaulted over the wall, repeating the same steps with the other four walls.
"on your left. " I said as I lapped fell between the third and fourth walls.
"on your left. " I said as I passed him again, fell trying to keep up with me but failing.
After Ten minutes of playing with fell I slowed to a walk and sat next to sans, while fell gave up and with a defeated look and came over to us.
"piece of advice, don't presume to know me. " I said as fell turned dark orange.
"that was hilarious sis. " sans said as he high fived me.
"that was absolutely awesome, punk. " undyne said as she clapped my back.
"thanks undyne. " I replied as we sat in silence until undyne picked me up by the head and placed me in the field.
"OK punk let's see what ya got. " she yelled as she walked about 10 yards away from me.
"OK, but a few rules first no dusting, second no outside interference, third first to draw blood wins." I said as she nodded.
Undyne ran towards me, a spear appearing in her right hand as she brought it up to attack me, I ducked under the first swipe, and swung my leg knocking her down. By the time she got to her feet I had a bone summoned with the blade end out to the side, I then attacked with her dodging the swipes with her spears. We had been at this for a good fifteen minutes neither gaining on the other, when Undyne summoned some of her smaller spears, which I dodged, running so she was in front of me, as the last one flew towards us, it changed direction going backwards now. Undyne had a huge grin on her face, as it neared me, at the last second I shifted my weight, and lept into the air, forcing the spear to go straight at her. Her eyes went wide as a look of shock covered her face as the spear hit her. I walked up to her holding out my left hand for her.
"do you yield? " I asked
"yeah. Yeah. I yield. " she said as she grabbed my hand and got to her feet, before we walked back over to the others.
"OK, that was cool. " she said
"if you think that's cool, wait till you see what the avenger's can do. "I said as I wrapped my arms around reds neck, peering over his shoulders.
"what? " stretch asked
"tony hosts, a Christmas party on Christmas eve, and this year he has invited us monsters to it. " I said as blue and paps jumped in excitement.
The rest of the morning was spent with red watching great american horror icon slashers on chiller, I had my head on his chest, while red played with my hair. Red ended up dozing off when they started to talk about candyman, while I dozed off during Hannibal lector, we ended waking up to pinhead saying, "angles to some demons to others. " when I decided to go see mettaton and ask about blooky DJing.
"oh, blooky would love to DO, Tony's party. " metta said
"thanks metta, I'll tell pepper the good news. "I said as I took notice of how nervous mettaton seemed.
"is there anything else mettaton? " I asked brow bone arched.
"well.. Uh... Well you see. Iwanttomatewithpapyrus. " he said, the last part running together so fast it took me a few seconds to figure out what he said.
"oh, I see. And let me guess you're afraid of the older siblings, hmmm? " I said as he just nodded in agreement.
"well, I can't speak for sans, but over these last few months, I've been able to see how happy you make him. So you have my blessing. " I said as metta threw himself towards me in a flying tackle hug.
The following week was hectic between, work and giving blooky the play list of Christmas carols and classic rock. I was finally able to take a breath when I took toriel, alphys, Undyne and frisk to the compound to be fitted for dresses. Pepper was waiting by the front door for us a warm smile on her face as she greeted us as if we were family.
"OK, so just a heads up this is a high end affair, so you will have to wear gowns. " pepper said as Undyne groaned but agreed.
"these are the dress concepts, tony approved of. " pepper said as she pointed to the two basic sketches.
The first concept could only be described as Disney princess, with variations of all Disney princesses. The second was a Jessica rabbit style dress.
"oh my, these are way to fancy for me. "toriel said as we looked over the Disney ones.
" I think I have the perfect dress for you. " pepper said as she looked at me.
"Friday! " I yelled
"yes ms serif? " the AI responded
"could you please, give us a preview of toriel in a Rapunzel style dress, thank you Friday. " I said as a flash of light appeared out of nowhere and toriel stood in the classic Rapunzel dress. Pepper and I stepped forward to change the color scheme.
"now let's make the sleeves purple on the shoulder, with a see through sleeve, OK. Now turn the corset a violet, with the same purple as the sleeves for the ties. For the skirt well go with royal purple, with a touch of shimmer. " I said to pepper who agreed with me.
"hmmm, I like it but something's missing. Oh I know. "she said as she went to the hologram, and gave more definition to toriel's bangs
"and, done. So what do you think? " I asked
"would I really look like that? " she asked
"yep. " I said as she smiled.
"I love it. "she said.
We then turned to Undyne who visibly gulped.
"Friday could you preview Undyne in a Jessica rabbit style dress please? " I asked as another hologram appeared, only this time it was Undyne in a red sequenced sleeve less dress the back only went down half way so it would stay up, with a slit on the left side of the dress that started at the hip.
"Friday, please change the color to an emerald green, and move the slit from the left side to the right side, also could you give her lose curls. Thank you. "pepper said as Friday made the changes.
"there we go. " I said as alphys turned deep red and started to get a nosebleed as she made some squee sound.
"babe, are you OK? " Undyne asked as she wrapped her arms around alphys.
"y ye yes.. Y.. You... So... Hot! "she stuttered out.
"Friday, preview alphys in an Ariel style dress, please? " pepper said as once more a hologram this time of alphys appeared.
It was a simple design, the shoulders puffed out and ended at the elbows, with a neckline that went from shoulder to shoulder, with two skirts one was a coral pink that was the same shade as the bodice, the skit stopping five inches from the floor, with the second skirt a pastel pink that went to the floor.
"actually I think this looks good on her, what do you think Undyne? " I asked
"my girl is so hot. "Undyne said
We were at a lost for what type of dress we should have frisk wear, we agreed to keep it Disney but which princess, was the real question. That's when I saw merida's dress, "that's it! Friday please preview frisk in merida's dress. Thank you. " I asked as for a forth time a hologram appeared.
"OK let's change the base color of the dress to a dark periwinkle, good now change the elbow from gold to magenta, same with the neckline and the gold accents. Now the change the belt from brown to a dark purple, and place the delta rune on it. Thank you. "I said as Friday made the changes I asked her to.
"oh my child it's perfect. "toriel said as a light dusting of pink covered Frisk's cheeks.
(what about you auntie, what dress will you where? ) frisk signed
"yeah, punk. "undyne said
"ye ye yes s sa sable, what d dr dress will you w wear? "alphys asked at the same time.
"well I know what dress style I want, I'm just not sure about the colors though. " I said
"I if I m may suggest s so som something, if y you sh show u us t the colors y you we were thinking of a and w we vote on t th them. "alphys said
"good idea, alph. " undyne said
"OK. Friday preview me in to versions of a belle dress one cyan with silver accents and the other red with black accents, please." I asked as one last time a hologram appeared.
The first hologram was a ball gown that was cyan in color, with the shoulders of the dress, which was a strap that went across my shoulders was silver, that matched the strip of fabric that rose in peaks and valleys was in the middle of the skirt. The other was the same style only the base color of the dress was a deep red and the accents were an inky black.
"so which one do you guys like? " I asked
"I I th thinking the r red one l looks n nice, I it brings ou out y your eyes. " alphys said with a small smile.
"I gotta disagree babe, I think the blue looks better." undyne said
"I have to agree with undyne. " pepper said
"I'm afraid I have to disagree, pepper. The red one gives more attention to her eyes and hair. " toriel said as we looked to frisk.
"whelp, looks like your the tie breaker kid. "I said as frisk walked between the two holograms and looked at both of them, after five minutes she signed, (I like the red one. )
"looks like we have a winner. The red one it is. " I said
"perfect, then all I need is you guy's measurements, the dresses will be ready the day of the party. Then the morning of the party you'll come here, where we'll be pampered and get ready, then we'll go to the party." pepper said as we gave her the measurements.
"uh... Am I still allowed to... "I started asking
"go to the avengers after party. Of course as well as the monsters who are coming, tony had me set up some spare rooms, if any of them wanted to stay overnight. " pepper said as frisk got excited, jumping around before signing,
(will Santa still come if we're here? )
"of course Santa will still come if your here frisk. " pepper said
"yeah, remember Santa sees, all the good kids. " I continued for pepper as I ruffled her hair.
(dose that mean we can have Christmas with the avengers? ) she signed while giving toriel puppy eyes.
"yes my child, we will have Christmas with the avengers. " toriel said as we headed back home.
