It was only early afternoon when I walked through the front door, to see papyrus sitting in the recliner, wringing his hands together, a scared look in his eyes.

"are you OK, pap's? " I asked

"NO, SISTER I'M NOT OK. I THINK METTATON WANTS TO BREAK UP WITH ME. " he wailed.

"wait? Pap's what makes you think that? " I asked as I walked over to him, and sat on the arm, pulling him into a hug as I rocked him back and forth.

"we had three dates planned for this week, and he has canceled all of them. " he quietly said as I pulled out of the hug long enough to get my phone out and call red.

"hey, red? " I said when he answered on the third ring.

"heya doll, what's up? "he asked

"you know how we were supposed to go shopping tonight? " I asked

"yeah? " he replied

"could I take a rain check on it. Mettaton canceled all of his dates with pap's and he needs me. " I said feeling absolutely horrible about it.

"well we were only going shopping so how's about we bring him along to? " he suggested

"hold on let me ask him. " I said before pulling the phone away from my head, and covering it with my hand.

"hey pap's, did you want to come shopping with red and me? " I asked as he sniffle a bit.

"oh I wouldn't want to be a bother to you two. " he said lowering his tone due to his sadness, as he wiped his eyes.

"actually, red suggested that you come with. " I said

"WELL THEN IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT I THE GREAT PAPYRUS, GRANT YOUR REQUEST! " he said at his normal volume, allowing red to hear him.

"well then I'll see ya in an hour doll. " red said as we hug up.

Pap's and I moved to the couch, while we waited for red.

"so did you get all your shopping done? " I asked

"ALMOST, I STILL TO GET GIFTS FOR FATHER, SANS, ALPHYS, AND YOU. " he stated

"well then maybe you can help me with my shopping I'm not sure what to get people. "I sheepishly said.

"OF CΩURSΣ SISTΣR I THΣ GRΣΔT PΔPΨRUS ШΩULD βΣ HΔPPΨ TΩ ΔID ΨΩU IΠ ΨΩUR QUΣST. " he said posing heroically.

We sat on the couch just quietly waiting for red, who showed up about a half hour later.

"hey doll, pap's. Yous two ready? "he asked as we got up off the couch.

"HΣLLΩ RΣD, I THΣ GRΣΔT PΔPΨRUS ШΩULD LIҜΣ TΩ THΔΠҜ ΨΩU ҒΩR IΠITIΠG MΣ TΩ JΩIΠ ΨΩU TШΩ THIS ҒIΠΣ ΣΣΠIΠG. " pap's said

"don't mention it, let's go. "he said as we locked up the house and went to the mall.

We parked baby on the outskirts of the parking lot, after exiting baby I took off my coat, revealing the supernatural join the hunt T-shirt I was wearing, along with my metallic arm, pap's gave me a confused look.

"pap's it's just easier if they think were avengers. I know you believe that everyone can be a good person, especially this time of year, but now is when a lot of stores judge people the most. " I said as he nodded in agreement.

We entered the mall through the food court, pap's eyes the size of dinner plates, while red had taken my left hand in his. Then the three of us entered the first shop, it was an anime shop called, kinokuniya book store.

"I'm sure we can find something for alphys and undyne here. " I said as I walked towards the back, making sure to keep a socket on both pap's and red.

I found two anime, that undyne might like, they were slayer's perfect and slayer's return. I then walked over to where pap's was looking at some different ones, while red leaned against the register.

"so what does alphys like? " I asked

"ШΣLL ШHΣΠ ШΣ UΠDΣRGRΩUΠD SHΣ USΣD TΩ ШΔTCH THIS ΔΠIMΣ CΔLLΣD MΣШ MΣШ ҜISSΨ CUTIΣ, βUT I CΔΠ'T SΣΣM TΩ ҒIΠD IT. " he said as I scanned the titles.

"hmmm seem your right pap's, how about these two. " I said as I picked up Tokyo mew mew, which was the one I got her, while papyrus picked the other one Tokyo mew mew ala mode.

After buying those gifts and ticking those two off our lists, we headed to Barnes and noble, where we would get gifts for sans, dad, stretch, mutt, and red. Pap's and I decided to go in half on a beginner astronomy set for sans. It took us a while to figure out what we were getting dad, so we decided that pap's would get him the theory of everything: the origin and fate of the universe by Stephen Hawking, while I got him four mole skin journal's and a beautiful pen set with refills.

"OK what about stretch, what's his hobby? " I asked

"ҒRΩM ШHΔT βLUΣ HΔS TΩLD MΣ, IΠ THΣIR ШΩRLD HΣ HΔD, UH, HΔS Δ DΣGRΣΣ IΠ PHΨSICS, βUT GΔΣ IT UP TΩ ΔLLΩШ βLUΣ TΩ ҒΩLLΩШ HIS DRΣΔMS. "pap's said as I texted stark about getting a car for both stretch and mutt.

I grabbed stretch a book called, physics of the impossible :a scientific exploration into the world of phasers, force fields, teleportation, and time travel by michio kaku, while I grabbed mutt automotive engine's 7th edition by time Gilles. Lastly I had pap's and red bring over everything we were going to get to the register, while I got red's gift, it was quantum physics: what everyone needs to know 1st edition by Michael g. Raymer, along with some more moleskin note books for the other as well.

I had just placed the last seventeen items on the counter my left arm casually resting on top of them, the cashier looked at my arm recognition flashing in her eyes before she went back to the I have a stick shoved where the sun don't shine, look.

"I'm sorry but we refuse to serve your kind here. "she said her shrill voice making my ears bleed, as well as causing pap's smile to falter a bit.

"may I ask why you won't serve three members of the avengers? " I asked

"I don't care if your the president of the united States, I will never serve you freak's. "she said a smirk on her face.

That's when I noticed the computer used to run the register, it was a stark mark 33, computer with a Friday interface that was optional.

"is that the stark mark 33 computer? " I asked

"why yes it is, it's also connected to the security cameras, and programmed to scan customers, and if it finds a monster it will lock down the register. " she smugly said

"OK the just one more question, before we put everything back, did you opt for the Friday interface? " I asked

"of course, but as I already tol. " she started before I cut her off.

"yeah. Yeah. We heard ya the first time. " I said turning her red faced.

At this point a line started to form, along with an idea to not only get back at the sales clerk, as well as a way to get brownie points for the monsters.

"Friday, avenger override. " I loudly stated

"name and voice recognition password, please? " the AI asked

"name sable serif, password do you want to have a bad time. " I responded

"override accepted, what may I help you with, ms serif. " Friday said as the cashier's face turned white.

"would you mind scanning not only my purchases, but everyone here who had to wait, as well as apply the avenger discount to all purchases for the next one hundred customers , thank you. " I said as everyone at the store looked at us.

"please accept this as an apology for the hold up, and merry Christmas, happy chanukah, and kwanza. " I told everyone as pap's, red and myself left the store.

We had been at the mall for three hours, when we decided to head back to the house. I had just driven by the main entrance when I saw something that made me slam on the brakes. It was Mettaton, walking into the mall accompanied by a man In a gray business suit with blonde hair and blue eyes, I prayed that pap's didn't see them, but by the sound of his sob and the tiny sound of a crack starting to form on his soul. My left eye flashed blue while I gripped the steering wheel tight in both hands, my left hand started to bend the left side of the wheel slightly, red placed his hand over my right one,

"easy doll, don't do anytin rash. Pap's needs ya now more then ever. " red said pulling me out of my head.

"your right red. Hey pap's how about we head home, I'll make you some Tapioca pudding, and read ya a story, just like I did when you were a baby bones. " I suggested as I brought out two magic hands and texted Nat to follow Mettaton, until pap's feel asleep.

Then sun was beginning to set when we unlocked the house and walked in, "hey pap's could you put our bags inside my closet, then get your pj's on while I make the pudding, and we'll eat in your room OK? " I said as pap's slowly dragged himself upstairs while I went into the kitchen. I came out of the kitchen about ten minutes with two bowls of warm pudding.

"red I need you to do me a solid, if sans asks tell him I wanted to play big sister tonight. " I said as I went to pap's room, and red flopped on the couch and watched TV.

"hey papyrus, are you ready for some brother, sister time? " I asked as I handed him his bowl, that he held listlessly. We ate in silence till it was all gone, I then stacked and placed the bowls on his table near the door, as he climbed into his race car bed.

"OK, already for bed and your story. " I asked as I tucked his racecar blanket tightly around him.

"what, story are you reading me tonight? "he asked softly.

"well, it's a new story, it's called go the fuck to sleep supernatural edition, and pap's I don't want sans to know I read this to you, so it will be our little secret, OK?. " I said as I pulled up a chair for me to sit in, then pulled out my phone to pulled the story up.

"OK , sable. "he said as he snuggled into his blankets.

"the doors and the windows are salted

The ghosts won't dare make a peep

The sigils are painted and the demon traps set

Please go the fuck to sleep

"I fixed the impala up better than ever

Baby's not some piece of shit jeep

She's been ruling the roads since I was four years old

Now go the fuck to sleep" I started reading to him, making my voice sound exasperated when I said go to sleep, causing pap's to let out a soft neyh.

"we took out the yellow eyed demon

We slaughtered his minions like sheep

You're not having visions. that bullshit. stop lying

Lay the fuck down, Sammy, and sleep.

"the ghostfacers will stay outta trouble

We taught them to look before they leap

You never worried about them before

What the fuck? I'm not buying it sleep.

"everyone in this small town has turned in for the night

All the leads we did thoroughly sweep

Hell no you can't go to the library now

You know where you can go? The fuck to sleep. " I said as sans peeked his head in to see how we were doing.

"no, I'm not hungry or horny

Even for you those excuses are cheap

You're starting to get on my nerves now sam

For real shut the fuck up and sleep. "I said as sans left and quietly closed the door.

"the croats and the virus they carry are gone

We left them all dead in a heap

Why do all this shit for your health

When you won't wind the fuck down and sleep

"the apocalypse ain't gonna happen

We never gave into those creeps

I opened the cage, you threw them in hell

We fucking deserve some sleep

"Garth's gonna crash in the common room

I feel responsible for his upkeep

Fuck mr Fizzle's, you're not bringing him shit

Close your eyes cut the crap sleep

"it's game over for Lucifer

That bastard can read em and weep

You know he's no there we've talked about this

The head games are finished so sleep. " I said as I finally took a sip of water.

"the leviathan are done for

I stabbed dick roman deep

We'll send them all back to purgatory

After you fucking get some sleep

"we got a real place to call home now Sam

We're finally with our own keep

We each have a room, and a couch, and a stove

What more do you want dude? Sleep

"we'll close the gates of hell for good

And Crowley at last we will reap

It's at the top of our to do list believe me

Just shut your piehole and sleep

"eventually you close your eyes

I pray for once that you'll oversleep

As I crawl into my bed the phone rings

[son of a bitch ]

We're never gonna get any sleep. " I finished the story, seeing pap's asleep.

I gave him a kiss on his forehead, and quietly left his room. When I shut my bedroom door I saw that my phone had gotten a few texts from Nat.

4:26 pm Mettaton and his friend went shopping bought some electronics, on way to dinner.

6:43 pm had dinner at fancy restaurant seemed to be flirting.

7:15 pm hey Nat where is he now? I texted her.

7:16at his house man's there too, but something's wrong.

7:17 pm what do you mean

7:18 pm his movements seemed more "robotic"

7:19 pm OK I'll swing over and contact you if any thing happens.

I then suited up and got ready to figure out what's going on.
