Summary: Frisk used PET! It's super effective!
Ebott Ville, Front Lobby of Wendell Ebott Hospital, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
Frisk's POV
All the monsters, even those that had nothing to do with Wilson, are evicted from the hospital due to the commotion caused.
I should have done something against it. After all, I'm the Ambassador of Monsters and this is the kind of treatment against monsterkind I'm trying to erase.I wish I could care about that right now, but I don't.
Eye Bone is silent in my arms while I hug him tightly. He has a few drops of tears from where they have dripped down my face.
**"Frisk! Come on... stop crying. He's gonna be fine." Chara is trying to soothe me but I have been crying since we left the room.
"What in the world happened there Sans? I'm pretty sure I sent you to check on Frisk not to start a fight with that human." Toriel stressed, although you could hear worry underneath it all.
"well tori, you see-" Sweat started to form on the shorter skeleton's skull.
The very angry -rightfully so- little item known as Eye Bone shouts,"He tried to murder my friend!" I still have him clutched tightly in my embrace but, oddly enough, my ear doesn't ring at his volume.
"Ple-please stop sh-shouting." I whimper in distress.
I hate this. Not only is Wilson hurt, but now my family is fighting.
**"Calm down you're fine, he will be fine. It's just a broken arm. That heals in no time, okay?" Despite Chara trying to make me feel better, all I can see is Wilson's arm bent at that unnatural angle.
I tune back into the conversation to hear Asgore say, "I think we should take this conversation to my house. It is the closest one." It seems like he had dismissed the dog couple from their duties since I can't see them.
"Wait," I stop them from moving more than a step. I just realized something!
"Eye Bone, if you are here... where is Chester?"
"He is hiding. You see, that skeleton, Papyrus took me from some bushes I was in from where we landed after the vortex spat us here. I told Chester to stay hidden because I didn't know what his intentions were," Eye Bone explained as clearly as possible.
From a little ways to my left I can hear an ever so familiar "Boing!".
"Chester!" A four legged furry creature with horns and a dangling tongue came out of his hiding place and I kneel and -one hand still firmly holding Eye Bone- open my arms to receive him.
Chester must've been happy to see me and licked my hand and face. I couldn't help but giggle.
"I'm so happy to see you too, you lovely cutie. Who is a good Chester? It's you!Yes, you are!" I pull Chester to me and make sure that Eye Bone can see properly. Chester kept wiggling, happy and content.
Confused, the king asked, "What is that?"
"Is that a monster?" Toriel tilted her head to the side.
Papyrus and Sans simply watched warily.
"His name is Otto von Chesterfield, Esq.!" I lift him up into my arms and show the four very confused monsters how beautiful this boy is. "Say hi Chester!"
*excited bark* I put Chester down since he's pretty heavy. I wonder if he's carrying anything?

Chester presses himself to me, "Hehehe! Silly Chester, I'm so glad to see you again, aren't you glad to see me again? Yes you are, yes you are!" I coo again and again at him while petting him gently.
I still am worried about his master but I know Mr. Higgsbury can take care of himself in the human world.
Chara smiles at me and I thank her through our link for bearing with my antics.
"My child please. We need you to explain what is happening. Who is that man?We-we wanted to wait for him to be healthy to speak for himself, but with what just transpired in the hospital room today... I'm afraid he will speak ill of us to the human police and have Sans apprehended for what he did." I can understand her concern but…
"He won't, mom. He already lied to the doctor and I'm sure he won't say anything," I contradict her, convinced of every single word I said.
"frisk can i talk with you for a little bit?" Sans asks and the others look at him oddly.
I don't answer right away. There is still some tension in the air, and even Chara was waiting for my answer.
Sighing, I respond, "Sans, I'm sorry, but I have to give you the same information the others will get, and that will be once Wilson gets out of the hospital." I hate to treat him like this. It's no secret I share more with him than to anyone else but... not this time.
"Sorry," I whisper. Chester squirms under my hand wanting more pets, oblivious to the tension. Eye Bone doesn't particularly care, I don't think.
"… ok kiddo." To the untrained ear that sounded casual and uncaring, but having lived with him for almost two years, I now know that that pause means that he is not happy with the answer. He just doesn't want to press it in front of the others.
**"He won't push it so soon. Hopefully."
Yeah….
Ebott Ville, King Dreemurr Residence
The trek to Mr. Dad Guy's house transpires in relative silence, which I feel completely comfortable with. Once inside, Asgore grabs his phone and calls Undyne and Alphys to be present in the unofficial family meeting. Mom takes charge at the king's kitchen for supper, knowing exactly each item's location by heart. The king himself is busy in another part of the house. Papyrus sits, weirdly silent alongside Sans on the couch. I sit next to them with Chester and Eye Bone on my lap. I can see how the taller skeleton is watching Eye Bone, his curiosity oozing in waves until Eye Bone could bear the stare no more.
"Yes, errr, Papyrus?"
"WOWIE! HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS GOING TO ASK SOMETHING?" Oh Papyrus.
"...Just-just a feeling."
"YOU SEE, SANS AND I ARE THE ONLY SKELETON MONSTERS I HAVE EVER SEEN, SO I WONDER… ARE YOU RELATED TO US SOMEHOW?"
"… pap-" Sans starts but is cut off by Eye Bone.
"Well, you see, I don't remember what or who I was before I became what you see right now, so forgive me but I don't have an answer to your question," he politely replies. I wonder if he is upset about revealing this little tad bit of information to the monsters.
"OH…" Papyrus looks downcast for less than a blink of an eye, then he returns to his normal cheery self, "NYEHEHE IT'S QUITE OKAY MY FELLOW BONE FRIEND!"
"so... you remember being something else or someone...different?"Sans leans in, oddly curious.. As curious as his brother if not more, all of a sudden.
"Humph! Of course I was something else. I remember having arms and feet and a name!" he spats angrily at the skeleton.
**"Someone is still salty." Chara, who had been dozing off in the air, opens her eyes lazily.
"I know I lost them," he continues sadly.
The living room falls silent after Eye Bone's confession. Before anyone could comment on the new information we hear the screech of wheels on pavement signaling Undyne and Alphys' arrival. Undyne was behind the wheel, of course.
Someone knocks, though it's probably Undyne from how the door rattles.
"who's there?" Sans, seeing his opening, brightens.
"Not now Sans!" Shouts a very tired and pissed off Undyne.
"UNDYNE!" Papyrus shouts while swinging the door open. When had he gotten up?
"Glad to see you too, bonehead!" Undyne and Alphys enter the room and look at what's on my lap. Well, who are on my lap.
"Oh h-hi Frisk!" the yellow lizard says while scrutinizing Eye Bone and Chester up and down. "What do you have there, Frisk? I have never seen a monster like this in the Underground." Alphys stuttering is gone, replaced with wonder for the unknown. She gets closer to us so she can study them and reaches to touch Chester.
"I advise that no one enters in contact with any of them." The king's voice rumbles through the room and the lizard's hand paralyzes immediately.
Realizing his mistake, he tries again, "Please… do not touch them." His tone turned into a gentle and loving father-like one.
"Asgore. An explanation to them is overdue." Toriel prompts, gesturing towards me and the rest of the group.
"Finally!" Oh man, Undyne is not happy.
Chara… do you have any idea what they are talking about? Aren't I the one who should be giving explanations here?
Are they... hiding something from us?
**"Frisk… you know that I could not wander far away from the flower patch where I am buried… there is a limit on how much I can hear from Froggits, Whimsuns,Toriel and Asriel…"
Chara I'm sorry… please don't be sad!
**"I'm fine Frisky business. It's just… that time feels so far away now… as if it never happened at all… but it DID happen, and I was all alone day after day.."
But now we're together! We have a big and happy family now!
**"Yeah," her red cheeks get redder. She gives me a smile before turning back to Asgore.
"Well, what is it? This is driving me crazy!" Undyne asked the ex couple as they took seats in the extra large sofas in front of us.
Asgore waited until everyone was seated before he started. Seeing that he had everyone's attention he began,"We need to tell you about older times, old enemies… A tale Of Shadows and Hopes."
