Whole Family For Christmas

Chapter 2.

Here we go.


In the kitchen of their home, Toriel was making Christmas cookies with Frisk and Asriel, preparing for the Christmas party they would hold in a few days.

"Now, children," Toriel asked, "which color of frosting should we start with?"

"Green!" both children uttered in unison.

Surprised, the young boys looked at each other, smiled, and high-fived.

"Very well," Toriel said, "then we can make a batch with blue frosting."

"We'll put red, blue, and yellow sprinkles on the green frosting." Asriel affirmed.

"And white, silver, and green sprinkles on the blue frosting." Frisk added excitedly, bouncing in his chair.

"He he he," Toriel giggled, "yes, you two certainly had no trouble finding festive sprinkles."

"After we're done making the cookies for the party," Frisk requested, "can we please have some of our cookies?"

"Dinner first," his adoptive mother replied, "then cookies, of course, we still have other party dishes we have to make."

Toriel quickly mixed up some sugar frosting for the cookies.

"Can I add the coloring to this one?" Asriel asked.

"Sure," Frisk answered, "I'll color the next batch."

Just then Sans, having just returned home, appeared in the doorway of the kitchen.

"Sans is home." Frisk noted.

"Oh," Toriel voiced, "excuse me one moment, children, go ahead and start decorating."

The kids wasted no time diving into cookie decorations.

"Let's decorate the tree-shaped ones like actual Christmas tees." Frisk said happily.

"Yeah," Asriel offered, "and let's make the snowman cookies look like actual snowmen!"

While they began decorating, Toriel stepped into the living room with Sans.

"So," she asked quietly, "how did it go?"

Sans held up an OK sign with his fingers.

"He's in." he stated.

"Oh, splendid," Toriel responded gladly, trying to keep her voice down, "Frisk will be thrilled, I know it."

"How goes the rest of the invites?" Sans wondered.

"Asgore was taking care of that with Undyne and Papyrus," Toriel said, "I think Alphys and Gaster are making notes of all of our confirmed guest, so, best tell them about...you know."

"On it." the short skeleton said.

"Mom, help!" the heard Asriel call.

"We can't get these sprinkles open!" Frisk followed up.

"All right, all right," Toriel said, heading back to the kitchen, "I am coming."


Down in the basement, Alphys and Gaster were looking through notes of party guests to make sure they were properly categorized.

"This 'Bratty & Catty' are two different people," Gaster queried, "so, why are both their names on one card?"

"They insisted I note them that way," Alphys explained, "since they're coming together."

Just then, Sans teleported to the basement.

"Yo," he voiced, "you guys got the guest list in order?"

"So far." Alphys said.

"Good," Sans replied, "because, I got another we need to add to it."

"Who?" Gaster asked.

Sans looked behind him first, as if making sure no one else was present.

"Put down a 'Mettle Thole'." he said.

"A Me...Mettle?" Alphys responded.

"As in...Frisk's father?" Gaster inquired.

"Shhh," Sans advised, "say nothing, Frisk doesn't know, it's supposed to be a surprised."

"Okay," Alphys replied, "well, how do you spell that?"

"M-E-T-T-L-E T-H-O-L-E." Sans directed.

"Got it." Alphys affirmed.

Suddenly, Sans felt his cellphone vibrate, when he checked it, he found that he had received a text message from Muffet that said:

"Need help, r u free?"

"Looks like I'm stepping out again," the short skeleton Sans announced, "if anyone needs me, I'll be at Muffet's."

With that, he teleported away.

At that moment, Undyne burst through the basement door and jumped down the steps with a piece of paper in hand.

"Hey, nerds," she announced, "got more guest confirmations."

Gaster took the paper from her.

"Thank you." he said flatly.

"Undyne," Asgore called from the top of the stairs, "did you break another door?"

"Uh..." the fish woman responded, "you tell me."

Asgore checked the basement door and found it mostly undamaged.

"Please," the goat man sighed, "try to be more careful, we'd prefer to make it to the New Year without having to replace any furniture."

"Yes, Boss." Undyne responded awkwardly.


Sorry for the odd pacing, I just do not want to drag this out for too long.
