Also… Sorry for it being short.
Monster's Record
Entry one
"We were granted audience with the 'Mayor' of this city known as 'Heina'. However, it was interesting that thanks to Frisk and her friends… we were able to get a rather warm welcome."
"The Mayor said that if we would willingly work to uphold a benefit for the city that our kind is welcome. I believe my offer to retrieve valuable materials from Mount Ebott was the true reason though."
"However, we do have a home… dust above, an actual home! I appointed Frisk our main mediator for both of our races. She saved us, and shes one of them. While none know us except her."
"It is a surprise that it took five years for her to save us. She truly knows our race, our people to live that long alone among our kind."
"Anyways, she will be our 'ambassador' to protect our rights. Granted shes ill-equipped for such, I trust she will do her best."
"After all, her and my son are getting along great."
"Final negotiationshave landed me and my family a decent sized plot to live, they now go by 'Acres' of land, we got a full acre of land… its not as big as before then again we were thousands living in one plot back then..."
"I will begin to get that home built. Two weeks… er make it three. It will take me three weeks to get it built, after all I am not in my prime anymore."
"Hopefully, Toriel will not mind returning to live in the same household."
"Asgore Dreemurr, Lord of Monsters. May the lady watch over us."
Nearly One Year later.
Dreemurr house.
A house two stories tall, it wasn't all that large, the house was on the edge of forested snow covered land. Nearby was several houses, everyone of the houses were realitively normal except the one across the Dreemurr home, there lied a rather familiar house with two mailboxes one of them overstuffed. A yell escapes the Dreemurr's yard as a young man with white fur in a dark green sweater and gray winter pants. A ball of snow flies past him as a young girl comes running at him with another in hand. Her brown hair was past her shoulders as she wore a dark purple sweater with a singular blue stripe on it with brown winter pants.
"I will get you Asriel!" The girl calls out, she was smiling as her golden yellow eyes glint with revenge and anger. While her target 'Asriel' rolls to the side and looks up at her with worry and fear, his emerald green eyes glinting in the light reflected by the white snow around them.
Asriel was now taller, he looked more built as well. His height reached six foot three, he was definitely more well off than he was a year ago. The woman was quickly identified as Frisk, she too was taller now, in fact she was five foot seven tall, somewhat shorter than Asriel, but her figure was more apparent, she now had some more curve to her body and grown in other areas. She now was more of a 'C' cup thanks to finally being able to eat properly after
"Oh crap!" Asriel calls out as he dodges another snowball, before he looks at the girl. "COME ON FRISK IT WAS JUST A JOKE!" He calls out. Moments ago he had snuck up behind her and dropped a snowball into her sweater while sneaking attacking another to the front when she jolted in surprise, landing one that slid down into her sweater again.
"A JOKE?! MY BREASTS ARE FREEZING NOW!" Frisk yells as she chases him, she scoops up snow with her left hand and throws the one in her right before quickly forming and throwing the newly made snowball. Asriel dodges her first one, when he looks to see Frisk's next throw he finds himself suddenly on the ground groaning as a sharp pain shoots through him, one of cold and true pain.
"C-Cheap shot..." Asriel says as he holds his groin. She nailed him with a tightly compacted snowball in his own weak spot.
"Hmph" Frisk turns away with a smirk. "You know you deserved it." Asriel looks at her, his eyes filled with a level of happiness.
"T-True, I shouldn't have done that second attack and f-froze yer nips." He says with a smile, Frisk's face turns to him with a smile before she reaches down to him with her hand.
"Get up, I know it didn't hurt you that bad." Asriel gives a weak chuckle before taking her hand in his. She pulls him up as he brushes off the snow and gives a very real gasp.
"It still hurts. Gah. Anyways, that was fun Frisk, its always nice to get out and do something like this every so often… especially since its been so stormy as of late. Granted… we did get all those games to play indoor to pass the time atleast. I never expected to see how crazy human technology is, then again… we only had computers for basic stuff and I never got to use them. Too bad mom won't let us try those crazy cool looking 'VR' games." Asriel says with a sigh.
"I get you want to play them, but come on… Mom doesn't want us to get lazy and play games all day." Frisk says as she walks past Asriel and looks at the house, her gaze then rises to the blue sky with not a single cloud there with the golden rays of sunlight shining down upon her face. "A year, its been nearly a year since we left the mountain… you know we haven't had either of our birthdays yet, when is yours exactly?" Frisk asks as she looks back to Asriel.
"Eheheh, its kinda next week, five days to be exact.. I almost forgot till you mentioned it, and since I was a flower still and not even alive last year when it came I kinda forgot." Frisk stares at Asriel with wide eyes. "Frisk?" He asks as she stares at him quietly, suddenly Frisk leaps at him causing the two of them to fall to the ground.
"You have the same day of birthday as me!" She cheers with a smile. "This makes it so much easier to consider gifts, less time to worry when it is!" She says with a smile. While she is busy cheering and hugging Asriel with glee, whom of which is still surprised as he tries to pry her off him. A female monster with white fur and a purple dress looks at the two from a window. Inside, Toriel was watching the two as she turns away from her two children.
"Asgore." She says as she turns to a similar looking monster male. His horns dulled and golden hair trimmed as he reads a newspaper.
"Yes Toriel?" He asks with a yawn. He held a tired look, as if he just woke up.
"Next week is Asriel's birthday, and apparently it is Frisk's too." Asgore places the paper down before looking at Toriel.
"Really?" He says as a smile grows on his face. "Turning seventeen aren't they? Granted that means Asriel is much closer to when he passed away… We will need to tell him eventually the duties that line up for next year." Asgore says with a smile.
"No need to damper his mood, granted I feel bad for Frisk when that happens. She is truly the daughter I wished for when I was younger. Sweet and smart. Seventeen, you know sometimes despite the fact they have their own rooms and we have given them 'The talk'. I find Asriel in Frisk's room snuggling. I believe the two are unaware of their affection for each other. I know Frisk's eyes get lost looking at Asriel when hes working out or when hes practicing with that sword he got." Toriel says with a smile. "I don't disapprove though. They would be perfect for one another, and… I would have no other person take care of our son till their end other than Frisk." Toriel says with a smile as she stands next to Asgore.
"True, she is a soul that is rare indeed. Toriel, though I know you no longer hold the same feelings for me… thank you for forgiving me and letting us move on from those days. I doubt I could handle the kids or even handled everyday this year without your help and the children around." Asgore says as he places his newspaper down. "I still got much to do as a father, but hopefully I will be given the time to do so, you so as well as a mother, your love for them is boundless compared to the care I wish to give them." He says as Toriel gives a chuckle.
"It has been sometime to see you so humble again." Asgore gives a loud sigh before giving Toriel a frown.
"I am just old Tor, I am exhausted and learning all this stuff feels meaningless. A year, then what happens will all that we worked for come to naught? Who guides everyone then? After Asriel died, I felt that I would forever be stuck in the position of king, and here I am… having to face the future mortality of my life again. I accepted when we had Asriel, but now I feel I have lost my way." Toriel's face falls before she moves to another recliner and looks at him.
"Your not the only one whom saw a life without Asriel for the rest of time. However, lets live for the time for our son… and Frisk." Asgore gives a nod before smiling at Toriel.
"Yes. Now what should we do for their birthday?" Asgore asks, Toriel only returns the smile as she stands up.
"I will bake them a cake, I think since its been nearly a year we can make it extra big as way to make up for last year's lack of birthday and a way to celebrate how long we manage to see the sun in so many years." Toriel says as she stands up. "Perhaps you could cover the gifts however, don't spend much on those darn 'Video Games'. The last we need to encourage their crazy addiction of those things to expand." Asgore looks at Toriel before shaking his head sighing.
"Alright. I am to guess I should let Undyne, Alphys, Sans and Papyrus know? Those are the closest four to them at this time since the rest have become so busy." Toriel nods as she moves to the kitchen and begins to glance at their groceries. A figure very faintly appears, though it seems to not be present to anyone around.
The glances around, His form faded as he makes himself unnoticeable to all around him. He looks around taking in the layout of the house. The kitchen was an open and connected to a dinning room and the living room making a large L-shape, A set of stairs goes up against the wall in the dining room closest to the living room. Under it lies a few doors and a hallway further down. The bard goes up stairs to see about six doors upstairs. Three on each side and notices there is room to build a catwalk up there and room to expand.
"So this is their new home? Interesting, I like it." Bard says as he peeks into each of the rooms, the first on the left was a bathroom, fit for a royal family. Asgore had gone full out on designing the place. The right room was slightly feminine, but very tomboyish. It had to be Frisk's room. It had a queen size bed in the middle far end against the wall with two windows on either side complete with two nightstands. A few steps to the right were a double dresser and a mirror next to a built in closet. On the otherside of the bed was a desk with a computer, it had room for doing things as writing or study. There was a large bookshelf filled with books and game cases. The light purple walls did atleast make the room feel homey for him as he investigated.
He left Frisk's room and walks down the hall, the next left one was empty. Though roughly the same size as Frisk's. They appeared to be the size of a common small house's master bedroom plus a little more room. On the right however was a dull green room, it had a similar layout except there were a few items laying about. More games than Frisk's in the bookshelf and a TV with a few consoles hooked up. Over by the dresser was a sword on a rather empty sword rack, it appeared to be a long-sword of some type. A few game posters and other masculine items laying about, It had to be Asriel's room.
"Very much like my room except… bigger. Damn I miss it, oh well perhaps I can find time to play some of the games of this world's one day. I wonder if they have a version of my favorites…" Bard says as he looks around before leaving the room, he checks the rest to see they are as well empty. "Wow, expecting one day to use em… or perhaps built them in advance because he wants to give this house to Asriel or Frisk or perhaps both for their familes… haha… Asgore really wants what is best." He says as he walks back down and watches from the top of the stairs. "Now to see the next part of the show." He watches the living room waiting for the next bit of the story.
"So Asriel." Frisk's voice calls out as she and Asriel walk in from the cold outside. "You busy tomorrow?" Frisk asks as she glances at him. Asriel thinks it over before glancing at a calendar in the kitchen.
"Eh… I think our company needs us in a raid tomorrow why?" He says trying remember previous commitments. Frisk frowns as she looks at him.
"Its, nothing. Was wanting to see if you wanted to go to town with me." Frisk says softly, dejection in her voice that goes right past Asriel. However Toriel, whom was listening in calls out.
"Why not go with her and spend the day in town tomorrow Asriel, its supposed to be real nice weather wise." Toriel says as Asriel looks at her with a frown.
"But me and Frisk promised to help on the raid tomorrow, its a new fight they added in earlier this week on Fatal Fantasy." Asriel says trying to her only for Toriel to look at him then Frisk.
"I see, well do as you wish then. Its not my feelings your hurting." Toriel says, causing Asriel to jump slightly before looking at Frisk whom was walking towards the stairs.
'Ah crap, Sorry guys.' "H-Hey Frisk." He says, his face heated as he looks at her, Frisk stops as she looks at him. "I uh, sure we can go. Besides its just a stupid game right?" Asriel says. His hand on the back of his neck, showing a look of pain on his face. 'I really gotta stop putting so many hours into them anyways… I'll send them a message on d-cord. I hope… Frisk isn't mad at me.' He finally breaks free from his thoughts and takes in the look on Frisk's face. Utter joy. 'Oh shit...' She had shopping in her 'to do' list.
"Thank you Asriel!" She says running up the stairs, Asgore gives a chuckle before looking to Asriel.
"I'll triple your allowance for this month." He says before Toriel smiles and gives her own light laugh.
"I'll make sure dinner is ready for when you two get home as well. Take your time tomorrow dear." She says as Asriel slumps over and heads to upstairs. Once hes out of hearing range Toriel and Asgore gives another round of laughter.
"Haha, The boy is truly hopeless to his feelings." Asgore says as Toriel wipes a tear from her left eye.
"Yes, and Frisk is too hopeful that Asriel will notice her. The two are blind to what they feel, to be young right Asgore?" Toriel says for Asgore to nod. To be young indeed.
Upstairs Asriel comes to a stop at Frisk's doorway. While her door was closed he wanted to knock and ask her what her plans were for tomorrow, but stops.
'I… I deserve the extra shopping, I should have went with it initially. Perhaps I can find something for her birthday! Yeah, that will help make up for it!' Asriel nods his head with determination. A plan? No a goal was set. Find Frisk something nice while in town! He starts walking when he gets to his door and realizes one major problem that he had been ignoring entirely. 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT FRISK TRULY LIKES! OH GOD WHAT KIND OF PERSON AM I TO IGNORE SUCH?!' He screamed in utter terror inside his mind.
Meanwhile in Frisk's room, she was feeling giggly as her chest flutters with excitement.
'Me and Asriel, going OUT! I can't believe it! I hope he don't invite Jake and Penny… I don't want to be rude, I want it to be just us!' She looks to her phone on her nightstand just beside her bed. She turns the screen on before quickly moving to her contacts. One last thing she needed…
"Please pick up today..." She says before selecting a contact on her phone. The ringing happens as she waits patiently when suddenly a voice comes through.
"Yello!" A cheer comes through.
"Penny! Thank god you picked up today." Frisk says as a chuckle comes through.
"Why would I? I know I have been busy lately, but I will always call back and make time to talk to you Frisk, whats up?" Penny asks as it sounds like shes cooking in the background.
"I need your… fashion skills today." The sound of two metal objects hit as Penny cheers.
"Is this so?! So did you finally ask him out?!" Penny asks as Frisk's face heats up.
"Not exactly? But we are going out into town tomorrow… just us." Frisk says as a whistle could be heard over the phone..
"Girl, you are hopeless. You have the sexiest monster alive as your 'step-brother' and you know you have the hots for him. Yet your so afraid of telling despite the fact that hes killed you in that fucked up loophole of a game inside the mountain, despite fighting things that have caused you pain and seen more shit than most human have seen, yet the idea of asking the love of your life out on a freakin date, makes you the most scared girl I have ever seen you be." Penny says before a sigh comes through the call. "Listen Frisk, your my friend and I am gonna say this now… ASK. HIM. DIRECTLY. I promise you won't be disappointed. Anyways If you want to look good, start showing me whatcha got, cause we both know you won't fit in my clothes yet. You've grown yet you still got some growin to do with all that neglect you put your body through." She says, Frisk nods before she looks at the phone and taps on the screen, selecting an icon that causes a camera window to pop up.
An hour passes with the two deciding their plan of actions, Asriel had decided to also pick out the outfit for tomorrow's trip before he slumps onto his bed and stares at the ceiling.
'Out… we are going out… is, this a date? N-no… I doubt Frisk would like me in that capacity, she can do better than me. I mean who'd want to spend their life with the guy who tried to kill them for crying out loud!' Asriel mentally chuckles, though it was more of a pained chuckle. 'But, I can dream right? I want… to protect her till she closes her eyes for good. Shes human, she has what another eighty years in the least before she likely dies...' The idea, the thought. 'frisk dying… oh god I can't even imagine it! What would I do if she went senile and forgot who I was?' The thoughts piling one one after another. The idea of being forgotten by Frisk, the idea of her dying before him or even in his arms. His gut churned in disgust. "Why? Why did I have to be born a monster, I would rather die than live on after shes gone..." He quietly says just before a knock on the door wakes him out of his daze. He sits up to see Toriel walk in with a smile.
"Hello dear, I hope I didn't bother you." Toriel says before getting a shake from Asriel.
"Nah, I was just thinking..." Asriel says as his mindly slightly wanders back to the painful thoughts. His
"Frisk being human right?" Asriel jumps as he looks at her. "I heard you through the door, believe it or not we have exceptional hearing when we want it." Toriel says with a smile before closing the door behind her.
"...yeah." He says quietly, Toriel moves next to him and takes a seat on the end of the bed.
"You do know we have to accept our own mortality too, its only a year before we have to live like its our last. I plan to care for you and Frisk until the very moment I can no longer." Toriel says, Asriel's eyes move away from his mother's placement.
"Yeah, I know. There isn't a day I haven't thought about that." He says before a sigh escapes his lips. "I hate living like that, I hate thinking I am gonna have to watch Frisk grow old, I mean… she is just a human and I am a monster, our worlds are so different despite the fact she tries to live in our world." Asriel says as his hands clutch at his bed.
"Did you know that me and your father were once on this surface many years ago before the war broke out?" Toriel starts, Asriel's gaze turns to her with a curious glance. "It wasn't all that long to be honest, but Humans and Monsters lived in harmony. I have even saw some Humans and Monsters have affection for one another. I never understood why but we were forbidden to be bound to one another." Asriel's face turns to one of confusion as he suddenly speaks.
"What does this have to do with me? And my feelings for Frisk?" He asks, his voice still one of being lost in what he should do.
"Well, There were plenty of Monsters whom came to funerals for Humans, some even were never seen after those days. We knew what happened, Humans while finite have some sort of allure that some monsters adore, but if it wasn't for the law back then… I am sure they would have pursued their feelings to them. She may be here for a finite amount of time, but so are we. We just do not know when our time will come, sometimes we live for decades or more… sometimes we see the ones whom were just not old enough die. I have seen Monsters no older than fifteen die before my eyes Asriel, so life is unexpected live it and don't let your feelings drag you down Okay?" Toriel says, Asriel's eyes turn to the floor.
"You would be fine with me loving Frisk then?" Toriel nods.
"I am all for it, I would rather have her, the adopted child I love to care for my son then some girl that may break his heart." Toriel says with a smile, Asriel gives a gentle chuckle.
"Not afraid of her breaking my heart are you?" Toriel shakes her head.
"Not in the slightest Asriel, If it didn't work out, she would know just the words to say to make it as painless and keep you there with her for the rest of her days." Asriel looks towards his window, the white light of the sun peering through.
"Thanks mom." Toriel reaches over and gives Asriel a hug.
"Anytime my child. Now, Lunch will be ready soon so don't let it get cold this time. I won't reheat it for you again." She says before letting him go and standing up. Asriel nods before he looks over to his computer.
'So I wonder if there is anyplace in town that wouldn't mind a monster like me to enter and have food with Frisk.' He moves over and pulls out his chair pushed against his desk before taking a seat and opens a window on his computer. The sounds of typing heard in the room as he looks about. 'Come on… Monsters only… Humans only… Come on! Where is… Wait...' His eyes stop on blue text, 'Monster, or Human. All welcome to taste the taste of the Legendary sights and smells of the Underground. For nostalgia or for a learning experience! Come to...' His eyes widen as his face turns to a smile. 'The UnderCafe… I couldn't have had a more aptly named place that sounds homey than ever especially for a bite to eat to think of the good times.' Asriel thinks to himself as he begins to browse their web page.
'Foods based from each area of the underground… authentic favorites of the most well known Monsters… No way! Gemstone light private rooms for order? And they have specialized drinks of all kinds? Lets see...' His eyes roll over the text, his face growing with joy and excitement. 'Chilly-Tea; an ice-cold tea with strong flavor of the snowdin's well kept secret the Ize-Berry. The Soul tea, made from golden flowers known as buttercups, poisionus raw, but refined into a delicious sweet tea that gives a reinvigorating feel afterward… Drinks for couples Two Souls. A specialize drink made from several fruits and berries from both underground and the surface! The blue is the human's flavors with the red being the monster's flavors. In the middle they mix to make a treat that is to be shared by both parties...' His heart starts pounding, the idea of him and Frisk sharing a drink… it was exciting and yet it scared him.
'What if Frisk decides after she didn't-… No stop. No negative thoughts. Tomorrow you and her are going out and… perhaps you can surprise her with a gift.' Asriel nods his head with a smile. Leaning back he wonders what to do now that he has plans… reaching into his pocket he pulls out his phone and looks at the screen. 'Lets see...' His thumb moves about the screen. 'Do I have enou- Wait dad the hell that is not three times my allowance! Urgh I am gonna hate shopping tomorrow… this is way more than I need or plan to use. Maybe I can save some for a rainy day?' Can? No he would. You never know when you will need the emergency funds… he types away on his phone putting a portion of the money into a locked saving that can't be spent.
As he looks away from the phone he hears a door open and slam as someone is heard running down the hall and down the stairs. He stands up and moves to exit his room. Once out he walks towards the top of the stairs and looks down to see his mother smiling while looking to the door.
"Did Frisk run off somewhere?" He asks, for Toriel to look up at him before nodding.
"Yes, Penny came by and the two were going to have bit of a girls' moment it seems." Toriel says as sighs with a shake of his head.
"That girl is crazy… I don't understand how Frisk is such good friends with her. Shes… reckless and too… grabby." Asriel says recalling how Penny loved to latch onto people she knew physically… he always felt uncomfortable when she latched onto him with hugs and arm grabs.
"Haha. Shes open, and loves to be more hands on with her affection. Your brother Chara was no where near affectionate so your not used to it." Toriel says as Asriel gives a chuckle.
"Yeah, he was more of a distance affection type..." He says. His smile mentally falls. 'If he wasn't so… messed up. Its easier to talk about him though now these days.' Taking a mental sigh he looks to outside. "I think I am gonna go out and uh… look around town." He says, Toriel gives a chuckle before looking at Asriel.
"Going to make plans are you for tomorrow?" Asriel freezes before he can start moving back to his room.
"Is it that obvious?" He asks looking back at Toriel. She nods with a bright smile.
"Yes, now run along and make your plans. Let us know when you'll be coming home and any plans you make that affect tomorrow" Toriel says with a very joyful look on her face. Asriel runs down the hall and the sound of a door opening then closing is heard.
Outside, already heading into town was Frisk with Penny, Her friend had grown a bit more still standing over her friend by a bit at a height of six feet tall. She had more curve to her body than Frisk, and her chest was apparently bigger causing Frisk to glare at her as the two were walking down the sidewalk towards town. Penny was wearing a long sleeve shirt with a pair of winter jeans, Both a deep purple in color.
"Is my friend jealous?" Penny asks with a smirk as she presses her arms under her own chest.
"...I'd be lying if I said no. I just wish I was a bit bigger than a normal C-cup." Penny gives a howl of laughter as she rubs Frisk's head.
"Girl, I know your not done growing yet. Your fixing to be sixteen, so calm down. We both know you just want to have a bigger chest thinking Asriel would notice you more if you had D sized, but I think your better with a C." Penny looks forwards as she smiles. "So, you need good clothes for casual outting, you sure you don't want to make it obvious?" Frisk shakes her head.
"I want to do some serious shopping tomorrow, so I can pick a few things out to get tomorrow… but start off making it look like a casual hangout. I don't want to scare him off, I'm not even sure if he likes me in that way because for all I know he could see me as a sister more than a romance interest. It'd be a bust if I went full out and he said that he didn't like me. Just… testing the waters." Frisk says, her eyes latched towards the ground as her face is a few shades red.
'Oh poor girl, shes hopelessly in love. But what about Lover-boy? I wonder what hes doing… hehe… if I were to guess gaming away unaware of how tomorrow is going to go.' The two girls continue down the sidewalk as they walk for twenty minutes to the closest clothing store, walking in they are greeted by a monster that looks somewhat like an owl.
"If it isn't my favorite customer Penny! You brought Frisk today I see." The monster chirps with glee.
"Yep, hey Kiny you got any good casual clothing for Frisk here? You won't guess what shes doing tomorrow!" Penny says as she adds a bit of bounce to her step.
"Oh-ho, the our savior finally ask the young prince out?" Frisk looks at 'Kiny' and then Penny.
"Does EVERYONE watch us or something? How many people know what I feel for Asriel?!" Kiny gives a laughter that sounds like an owl's hoot.
"Frisk, anyone can tell with you. Your emotions are in your eyes when you look at the young prince." The owl says with a smile. "As for clothes, I sure do. I finished making a batch of clothing just last night that would go great for an outing. This way please." Kiny motions for them to follow as she leads them deeper into the store. "Now if you want something more proper, for you I could whip something up in a hoot." Kiny says as Frisk shakes her head with a blush.
"N-No need to burden yourself..." Kiny gives another laugh.
"Deary, you are no burden. It would be an honor. Many monsters owe you their very existence. You gave back hope, I believed what my mother once told me before you arrived. 'Don't let hope wither and fall in these dark halls, for they know not the limits of the sun's forgiving grace of light that shines through the darkest of nights.' I still don't understand fully, but I feel she was saying that despite the wrongs of humans from the past, one can make up for it and show the right way of things. That and she was also a very poetic person, despite the fact she was blind!" The owl says cheerfully.
They walk into the back where there are several sets of clothing not yet put out. Frisk looks at them while Penny gives them a glance over before shaking her head.
"Kiny, how much to hook Frisk up with a custom designed outfit today?" Frisk's head pops up and looks at Penny.
"What are you-" Kiny's smile turns to a grin.
"For you and this occasion. Price of the material stock." Penny gives a nod with a smile.
"Wait don't I-" Penny pulls out her wallet from her back pocket.
"Lets do it then." Penny says as Frisk glares at Penny.
"Do I not get a say?!" Penny shakes her head.
"Not when I am paying for it you don't and I never said I was going to let you pay." Penny says with a smile, Frisk's face falls as Kiny gives another howl of laughter before pooling out a soft measuring tape and asks Frisk to come stand over in more light.
"So what do we want to go for?" Kiny asks taking Frisk's measurements.
"I want to give her a full new outfit, the entire sha-bang like I do sometimes." Penny says as she hums. "I'll write it down, so we can surprise Frisk. After you have her measurements about how long do you think you will need?" Kiny smiles before sticking her hand out and four feathery fingers are in the air. Penny nods before pulling out a piece of paper and walks away to find a pen or pencil.
"It will be done as a special order just for you." Kiny says as she finishes getting Frisk's measurements. Frisk sighs and looks at Penny whom was walking back and hands Kiny the paper whom's eyes glance over the paper with a delightful nod.
"Now what?" She asks as Penny grabs Frisk's hand.
"Now we kill time. You want me to pay now or later?" Kiny moves her feathery hand in a shooing motion.
"Go go, have fun. I'll let you pay when you get back." Penny nods before dragging Frisk out as Kiny laughs with a smile plastered on her face. Once the two were out a phone rang as Kiny walks over to the phone and answers it.
"Kiny's Tailoring. How may I help you today?" Kiny says with joy.
"Hello dear, its been a while." A female's voice comes over.
"Well I will be surprised, Toriel. What do I owe for this call?" Toriel's voice gives a light laughter.
"I suggested Asriel stop by, I hope you will set him up with something nice..." Kiny's eyes widen before a large grin appears on her face.
"Nice? I will make sure him, and Frisk have the best clothing I can craft up for tomorrow. Whom has which just left with her friend Penny." Kiny looks out the window with joy. It was gonna be a busy day.
"Is that so? Well, I leave their clothes in your hands. Please if you don't mind put Asriel's outfit on my tab." Toriel says with a gentle tone of happiness.
"No problem. I'll give this outfit the same discount I gave for Frisk's clothes. Now I best get off before he arrives, I'll let him know its taken care of money wise." Kiny says. Toriel says goodbye before hanging up as Kiny looks out the window.
"A busy day indeed."
Asriel was jogging down the sidewalk, he decided in this order; Set the dinner for tomorrow then visit Kiny's Tailoring. His heart pounding with excitement. However a tingling feeling was growing in the back of his mind.
"Hey Asriel, why didn't you fight back?" Asriel turns his head to where a voice echoed. It sounded like Frisk to him.
"Huh?" 'I must be losing my mind a bit with excitement. I thought I heard Frisk ask me a question… but her voice was younger sounding.' He shrugged it off, It must have been his imagination. Frisk did a lot of resets in the underground. She was there for years, yes. However he had no memory of most of it. She likely had 'True Reset' more than she wanted to try different methods of rescue and they failed so she had to use it… That was his only explanation. Yes that meant he knew her for more than five years, yet it also meant his memories were tampered with. It disgusted him, but Frisk didn't seem like the kind of person to do it for personal gain. So he accepted the loss of memories, he doubts he wants to know what things she did for it. It likely hurt a lot worse than what she did to get him here today.
He started to see his destination in sight, with all the distracted thoughts of tomorrow, he didn't realize how quickly he was arriving. He saw a chocolate brown bunny monster waving a couple of people goodbye. He walks up as the same monster opens the door for him with a greeting.
"Howdy there!" She says, her voice holding a rather country accent to it which surprised him.
"Howdy to you too." Asriel says as he walks in, the monster walks around and he could see her figure well. Shew as dressed in a rather nice waitress outfit of dark blue and white colors.
"My name is Deliana. This is the Undercafe, I don't recall seeing you here so I guess your new to my establishment?" Deliana says with a smile, her dark teal eyes looking Asriel over.
"Haha yeah. I was wanting to see if you had any openings in your private rooms for tomorrow." He asks as Deliana nods with a smile.
"Indeed I do mister. However, You look familiar… where have I…" She trails off before her ears pop up. "Oh my lord, if it ain't the prince himself! Well I'll be a Whismer's uncle! I havn't seen you or the little princess Frisk around since your father helped get everyone moved out of the Underground!" Deliana says with a smile.
"Haha, wow I didn't know I was still considered the prince." Asriel scratches the back of his head. "Anyways I was wanting to setup a dinner for two." Deliana nods her head.
"I gotcha darling. So mind if I ask, who you bringing with ya to our fine establishment? Ya find yerself a nice gal you want to take a to a fancy dinner?" Asriel gives another chuckle.
"Something like that? Frisk and I are gonna be in town tomorrow so I was gonna-" A squee of joy comes from Deliana.
"So them rumors are true! Your heart is captured by our savior of the underground!" Deliana says with a smile, Asriel takes a step back in surprise.
"R-Rumors? J-Just how many people look at me and Frisk like that?" Deilana gives a laugh before patting Asriel on the shoulder.
"Darling, all the monsters do. Some say it would be the best thing since the barrier fell, and I tend to agree. Monster and Human, hand in hand would only strengthen them bonds of human and monster relations, perhaps even break some of the walls of crap some of the humans spout in fear of us." Asriel only smiles and gives a weak laugh.
"I-Is that so… A-Anyways… that room?" He tries to change the subject back.
"No problem Dear. What time do you want to come in and we have a few types of Private rooms." Asriel's eyes widen a bit.
"A few types? Your site didn't say that..." Asriel says, Deliana scratches behind her head this time.
"I havn't… actually updated the site in a little over six months. That was our day one site since I had learned it was better to have advertisement on this surface's so called 'Internet'. Our menu is the same, we just have more to offer now." Deliana pulls out a type of menu and shows Asriel the rooms available.
"Lets see… Basic, which is the one you show on the site…" He says reading through. "Private, and a show… some food cooked before your eyes. Deluxe; sped up service, Special private menus including things for lovers only? Damn… I uh.." Asriel was blushing as he read the page. The 'Lovers only items' were classified to have things such as 'Aphrodisacs' in some of the items. "Well, I don't know if it would be wise for Deluxe… I don't even know If Frisk is gonna like me in return yet..." Asriel says with worry.
"Its alright dear. If I may be so bold; I'd still take the Deluxe and I can add some exclusions in for you so you don't have to worry. I would rather you enjoy your service here to the fullest… call it the royal treatment. I'll offer you the Deluxe and set up everything for you two so you don't have to worry. I know how couples are so I can do ya right." Asriel looks at Deliana whom had a sweet smile on her face.
"A-Alright..." He felt pressured as she smiles.
"Alright, One special deluxe room and at what time?" Asriel pulls his phone out and looks at the time. Barely three… if Frisk and him went out and hung out for four hours starting at…
"Lets do Four thirty PM." The monster nods with a smile.
"I'll let you pay after your meal tomorrow. Consider it a bonus to being royalty." Asriel gives a weak smile as she suddenly speaks again. "And just so you know, everyone considers you the prince still… no one is ever gonna change that title for its one of hope that we have someone to look to for guidance in the future." Asriel's ears twitch a bit as his smile strengthens up a tad.
"Yeah, thanks. I should hold onto the hope and be there to help people. Aight thanks Deliana, put it under the name Dreemurr." Asriel says, his heart fluttering. 'I hope… tomorrow is a good day.' The only thoughts he hopes to be truer than ever.

"No longer shall I wait… lets play."
"Brother."
