Chara let more tears out. After around ten minutes, Chara's eyes were dry. She stood up and walked over to Sans went. There, he was sitting with a laptop writing something that had lots of zeros and ones and weird parentheses. When he saw her, he closed it.
"Hi, Sans," Chara said.
"hey, chara. how are you doing?"
"Better. I'm bored, so I was wondering if you knew anything that Alphys would be fine letting me do?"
Sans sat for a minute.
"stay right here," Sans said. He was about to shortcut, but then he grabbed a backpack that was next to him and grabbed Chara's knife out of it. Then he shortcut away for a minute. When he was back, he had a box of pencils and some paper.
"do you like to draw?" Sans asked.
"Sure," Chara said as she grabbed them. She sat and thought about what she wanted to draw. She had no idea, but she started to draw. She drew herself on the very left edge. Next to herself, she drew Asriel. She drew her Mom and her Dad on the right. She drew Sans on the right. She drew Papyrus and Alphys on the right. She drew Mettaton and Napstablook on the right. She drew Shyren and the Monster Kid on the right. She drew Undyne and the K-9 Unit on the right. She drew the Royal Guards and Muffet on the right.
Chara needed to name it. She thought it should be two words. The first one should be Under, because they were all underground. She thought that the second should be Fable, because everything is like a story. She smiled at it. She ran over to Sans.
"hey, kiddo. someone is excited!" Sans said.
"I made this drawing. I think I'll call it Under Fable!" Chara said. She was very proud of it.
Sans was interested by it. He wondered who the flamboyant robot lady was. He wondered if Chara knew that Toriel and Asgore were divorced. He was worried for Chara because she was away from everyone, except that mysterious boss monster.
"that is very good, chara! i think that under fable isn't right, though. maybe something like, oh, i don't know. under tale? maybe even one word, undertale?" Sans suggested.
"I like it! Undertale sounds..." Chara started.
"... Right." both Chara and Sans said at the same time. Sans looked at Chara happily.
Then, they both heard a door slide open.
Chara went to look. It was Alphys, Papyrus, and Toriel. Chara looked at them with sadness. Toriel looked at Chara with relief and worry. Papyrus looked at Chara with glee and curiosity. Alphys looked at Chara with sadness and compassion.
"HELLO, HUMAN! IT IS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS! DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY LAZYBONES BROTHER IS?" Papyrus said. Chara looked sad to him. "IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT, HUMAN? YOU LOOK SAD." Chara just stood there and stared at him.
"Papyrus, I think it is best if we let Chara start talking to us at her own pace," Toriel said. "Anyways, all of us had a traumatic day yesterday."
Chara walked to where Sans was. Alphys followed.
"H- Hi there Chara. D- do you remember m- me?" Alphys said. Chara nodded. "O- okay. S- so, um, are you okay w- with me just ch- check your health?"
Chara shook her head, "No."
"why not kiddo? you can trust alphys," Sans said.
"Because..." Chara said.
"Because wh- why?" Alphys asked.
"Because I shouldn't be around any of you," Chara said. Tears formed in her eyes.
"kiddo, you feeling okay?" Sans asked.
"Y- yes. I'm fine..." Chara lied.
"how about alphys and i do it? would that make you feel better doing it?" Sans asked.
Chara nodded. As Sans, Chara, and Alphys walked to a nearby room. In the main area of the lab, the door opened again. Toriel and Papyrus turned to see Monster Kid, Lesser Dog, and Greater Dog.
