It's been a while, but I finally got around to completing the next story. Enjoy. :D

Colorful.

That fact cannot be denied.

Parasite.

Takes control of a person to live and may move on to the next if the person fights or if they are close to death.

Glasses.

Change into various forms and letters to portray inner thoughts of parasite or host if they fight.

Sans.

The Fresh parasite has taken possession of the body of a Sans and can be seen in one eye, while the soul of the Sans is in the other eye. The glasses hide this fact unless removed.

Fresh Sans.

His abilities are quite peculiar, like being able to censor when someone speaks profanity with alternate words, and teleport, leaving a colorful puff of smoke behind.

Although his host may be trapped within their own body, the Fresh parasite does not have true feelings and therefore does not feel sympathy. The only feeling he recognizes is fear. He can possess anyone he wants, but he has been possessing a Sans for the longest time, and he's used to this form.

This specific Sans he found a while ago in the dark void, and decided to possess him since he was weak from injuries and he actually let Fresh possess him. He thought he was going to die anyway, and Fresh found that to work in his favor.

As he traveled on his skateboard and annoyed or hung out with as many people as he could, he started traveling outside of the worlds he knew.

He ended up finding a world that was colorful, fun, and expressive, kind of like himself: Serentime.

As he stood on a hill viewing the Carnival side of the world, he thought,

'Whoooaa. This world is totes radical! I gotta see it up close!'

He fresh-poofed a skateboard in his hands, and then he started skating down the hill to see the world he basically invaded.

"Let's see what radical bro-sefs and sis-tas live here," Fresh said, as he came closer to Carnifair.

Upon entering Carnifair after speaking to a bear who let him in, he made his skateboard disappear as he started walking around. He viewed the many sights and spoke to a few people who either spoke to him, or didn't because he scared them by popping out of nowhere. Besides that, he really felt at home in this place, the first time he really felt comfortable.

Felt. He felt something...

Then he heard a voice call out for people to play cards, as he followed the voice and found a large semi-circle table with people sitting around it as the dealer was dealing out cards. Fresh watched the dealer, noticing her black hair with golden ends and golden glasses that covered her eyes. She wore a black long-sleeved shirt with a golden blouse over it, a green scarf around her neck, and black pants with green boots that reached her knees.

As he watched her deal out the cards for this next round, Fresh approached the table where an empty spot was to observe.

"Hey, Ms. Lady. What's the dealings goin' on here?" Fresh asked, as Gold turned towards him.

"It's poker, Mr. Man, and I don't think I've seen you around here before. Are you new?" Gold asked, curiously.

"I'm totes new here, Ms. Name's Fresh," Fresh said, slightly adjusting his glasses.

"Well, its nice to meetcha, Fresh. You look familiar to me though. Are you a Sans?" Gold asked.

"Welp, I am and I'm not, but I think ya gotta hand out some cards," Fresh said, and Gold turned to see that she had to deal more cards.

After a few more rounds, Gold asked for someone to deal the cards for her since she was taking her lunch break. She stepped out and started walking towards the food court, as Fresh followed her.

"Where ya goin' to Ms. Lady?" Fresh asked.

"I'm going on my lunch break. You wanna come? Since you're new, I can show you where the Food court is," Gold said, and Fresh nodded and said,

"Yeah, sounds good. If ya don't mind me askin', what's your name, Ms. Lady?"

"Oh right, I didn't tell ya. My name's Gold. I'm a Curtain, if you've met one," Gold introduced, as she extended her hand towards him.

Fresh felt a warmness enter his chest as he looked at Gold, and then he shook her hand and said,

"Tubular name, and I've never spoke to a Curtain, but I've seen a few."

"Well, its nice to be the fir-" Gold stopped speaking when Fresh leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

She blushed a little, as Fresh just smiled.

"What was that?" Gold asked, ready to strike him but keeping herself calm.

"Well, when I meet new radtastic peeps, I like to give'em a kiss, especially if they're nice like you. Ya know, I think you're the first new person I met and kissed in this bod," Fresh said.

"Well... that's strange, but I've seen stranger. I don't advise you to do that though, especially if whoever you meet is married," Gold said.

"Heh... yeah, I learned my lesson with that," Fresh said, rubbing the back of his head, as his glasses read, "OUCH."

"Wha? You're glasses changed letters!" Gold said, intrigued and surprised.

"Oh yeah. These shades never lie," Fresh said, adjusting them on his eyes a little so that they read, "SWAG."

"Huh, that's pretty cool. Why don't you tell me more about ya while we get some grub, eyy?" Gold asked, and Fresh nodded.

They sat at a table as they discussed themselves to each other over a meal of burgers and fries. Fresh explained to Gold that he was a parasite who takes possession of a host, although he usually doesn't leave them to die since he might go back to them later in an emergency. He moves between host when they become too weak to keep him for long, and he travels around to spread good vibes to everyone he meets. He showed her his parasitic eye, as she was intrigued but kept her distance just in case. Fresh told her a lot about himself, and he couldn't understand what made him feel so comfortable to tell her everything. He wanted her to know, but he couldn't understand why, and also why he felt a strong warmth in his chest from being near her.

Gold told Fresh that she was the Captain of the Guardians of Serentime under Mettatime. She mentioned that as far as she knew, she didn't come from an AU world, and she stumbled upon Serentime with her Sans. They both appeared at the same time in the same place, and they stuck together all the time.

"That Sans sounds like a radical dude to be chillin' with a sweet lady like you. Where he at, if I may ask?" Fresh asked her.

Curtain had removed her gold glasses to reveal her green eyes with golden flecks in them, and replied,

"He... he was dragged into the dark void where the creatures that appear in the Empty Lands come from. That was before I became a guardian... I jumped in a little after him because the portal closed before I could reach him the first time. Mettatime helped me by keeping a rope around me when I jumped in... but, he was already gone, and I never saw him again..."

Fresh could see the sadness in Gold's eyes as she recalled the painful memory of losing her Sans. He felt… a mix of sympathy, empathy, and sadness. It felt like a weight that hurt him on the inside.

'These... are feelings... but, why are they so strong...? This dude... he reacts to her so much that... I am gaining his feelings...' Fresh thought, but then he pulled himself out of his thoughts and said to her,

"Aww, I'm sorry about that, Gold. Didn't mean to bring back some unrad memories and junk."

Gold looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Nah man. It's cool. It's better for me to talk than to walk and keep it inside. It was hard at first, and I do miss him sometimes, but I'm healing up alright. Thanks."

"No problem, my favorite bread slice," Fresh said, as Gold chuckled.

Upon hearing her chuckle, the weight he felt burdening him lifted and he felt happy to see her smile.

'What is this? I feel... warm, specially on my face...' Fresh thought, as Gold snickered and asked,

"Hey man, what'cha blushing about?"

Fresh looked at her in surprise, and then he took off his shades while turning away from her to use them as a mirror. Indeed, his cheekbones were various shades of colors, especially purple. He didn't know why all of this was happening to him, but he tried to play it cool and put his shades on, as he turned to her and said,

"W-Well my radical potato chip, I'm pretty full, s-so maybe we should call it a day, ey?"

"Aww, leaving so soon? Well, if you'd like to, alright. It was fun talking to ya. I'm glad to learn all of this about you," Gold said, as she stood up.

Fresh wanted to go, but he felt something keeping him there, as he stood up and said,

"A-Actually, I mean like, let's call it a day for lunch. I still don't know this place well, and it's not like I have anywhere else to go. Ya know?"

"Oh I see. Hmm... how about I show you around today, and tomorrow you can start working as payment for your very own apartment here? You'd be able to come and go as you like in your own place, and you'd be able to live here," Gold suggested.

"Really? That's dope! I'll do it!" Fresh said, and Gold smiled and nodded.

So, Gold gave him a tour of Serentime, as they talked and hung out at each place. They talked and joked and laughed together as if they were friends their entire lives. Fresh wanted to escape from these feelings because they were foreign to him, but he wanted to stay with Gold because he liked hanging out with her. He felt compelled to stay by her side, and unbeknownst to him, she liked him too.

At one point, as they were looking into a pond where glowing fish were swimming around, Fresh noticed that Gold's reflection wasn't looking at the water. Her reflection showed that she was looking at him with a sweet smile, and when he turned towards her, she quickly turned away as if she wasn't looking at him.

Fresh wasn't sure why she did that, but as they walked around the pond together, he noticed a couple, and how the female did the same thing Gold did when the male looked at her. However, the male planted a kiss on her cheek, as the female turned and kissed him back while they each wrapped one arm around the other. This made Fresh realize that Gold probably likes him in that way, as he looked towards her and noticed that she was looking at him but turned away again. He smiled to see that because it seemed like she liked him as he liked her.

"Gold. Can I be real with ya for a minute?" Fresh asked.

"Yeah, what's up?" Gold asked.

"So like, I'm getting all these sorts of good vibes since I've met ya way earlier today, and I think it's what peeps call "feelings." So... I like ya, even though me having feelings is weird, ya know what I'm saying?" Fresh replied.

"R-Really? Well... heh. Its weird because I feel the same way for you, and like... I never thought I would. I just feel so comfortable around you, like-" Gold was cut off when a few screams were heard.

Gold ran ahead to the source as Fresh followed her.
