Day Eight
It was near closing time at the game store, and while Joseph and Curtain fixed up the shelves and packed away the stands, Ciara was taking care of the register. Joseph and Curtain finished their work, as Joe gave permission for all of his employees to leave a little earlier that day. As Curtain grabbed her backpack and Joseph grabbed his own blue one too, Sans and Frisk entered the game store.
"What the? What are you two doing here early? Did you know I was leaving?" Curtain asked, as they walked closer together.
"We just came early to bother ya. Didn't know you were leaving now," Sans said.
"Yeah. Boss-bro decided to let us go early," Curtain said.
"That's nice of him to let you leave sooner," Frisk said, and Curtain nodded.
Then Curtain turned towards Joseph and noticed that he was looking at Frisk with a confused expression.
"Oh yeah. You haven't met her. Joseph, this is my friend Frisk. Frisk, this is my friend Joseph," Curtain introduced them, and the two shook hands.
"Nice to meet you Frisk," Joseph said, with a smile.
"You too Joseph," Frisk said, as she smiled back.
"You stealing kids Curtain or does she have parents?" Joseph asked with a smirk, and Curtain lightly punched his shoulder and replied,
"No, I didn't steal her."
"My mommy Toriel is letting Curtain babysit me for awhile," Frisk said, with a confident smile, as Sans snickered a bit.
"Really? Aw, that's cool of you Curtain. I didn't know you could babysit," Joseph said.
"Neither did I," Curtain said, as she looked at her, while Frisk winked.
As the four were getting ready to head out, Curtain brought Sans and Frisk over to meet Ciara while she was still working behind the counter.
"Hey Ciara. These are my friends, Sans and Frisk. Sans, Frisk, this is Ciara, my co-worker," Curtain said, as Frisk extended her hand towards Ciara.
"Oh, it's nice to meet you two. I'm sorry, I would shake hands, but mine are a bit sticky from putting the stickers on the games and stuff," Ciara said, as she was using a clothe to wipe her hands, while Frisk understood and put her hand down.
"Nice to meet you Ms. Your tall," Frisk said, noticing that Ciara was taller than anyone there, but it wasn't very exaggerated.
"Oh yes I am. But it's probably the heels I'm wearing today," Ciara said, a little flattered.
"Yeah. Nice to meet ya too Ms. Yourtall," Sans said, as Frisk looked towards him and made a face.
"Hahaha. Your quite the comedian aren't you?" Ciara said with a smile, and Sans shrugged.
"Well, I'm sure you all have places to be. Hopefully I'll see you again soon," Ciara said, and the four nodded and started walking out.
They waved goodbye to Ciara, as she waved back.
After leaving the mall, Joseph went in his car to meet Karol so that they can go on their date, while Curtain headed to her car to go home. While in her car, Curtain noticed that Sans was talking to Joseph outside his car. It seemed as though Sans made some form of joke because she noticed that Joseph was laughing.
"What are they talking about?" Curtain wondered, suspicious.
"I don't know. But they seem to be just joking around to me," Frisk said from next to Curtain since she was sitting up in the back seat.
When Sans entered the passenger side, Joseph pulled out of his parking while waving at them, as they waved back, and then put on their seat belts.
"What were you two laughing about?" Curtain asked.
"I was just telling him how cute you are, and how jealous you probably were since I was talking to him in that moment," Sans said with a wink, and Curtain growled with an annoyed expression.
Curtain started driving, as Sans chuckled, while Frisk was just looking out the window.
When they were at Curtain's house, they resumed their video game, although Sans needed a reminder of which button was which. After a few hours of playing, they took a break and ate dinner that Curtain made. Sans and Frisk were talking about cosmic jumping, while Curtain listened intently. Frisk said that one time she almost ended up jumping into the wrong realm, which Sans explained that certain realms have similar waves which leads to confusion and sometimes mistaking one realm for another.
"When it comes to darker realms, there are some that are evil, and some that are just dark in appearance but not evilness. You need more experience in outer-sensory to be able to tell exactly where you're going. I have that skill mostly mastered, but if I ever ended up in the wrong realm or universe, it's not like the beings from that world would threaten me since I can easily decide their fates," Sans said.
"Oh, I get it. But it would be easier if there was a sign," Frisk said, while moving her fingers to formulate a rectangle.
"You mean when you open a portal, a sign would be there to tell you which one it is?" Sans asked to clarify, and Frisk nodded.
"Not a bad idea, but if there were signs, I'm certain a few may be, accidentally, mistakenly swapped," Sans said with a raised eyebrow.
"That's messed up Sans, but I guess I understand why there aren't any signs," Frisk said with a pout, while Sans chuckled.
Curtain also giggled even though she tried to suppress her laughter with her hand over her mouth, but Sans heard her and his grin widened a little more.
Afterward, Sans and Frisk helped Curtain clean up the mess of dishes, and then they left.
Sorry if the chapter was a bit short. The next will be a little longer.
See ya soon. ;D
