"kay, e-mails" Abi said, opening up the e-mail from Sebastian.
"WHAT!~ How dare you?! well, at least my pet will have somone new to play with~." Muffet exclaimed, after reading part of the e-mail that stated. 'Muffet, you're horrifying, I'm sorry but you are a spider and spiders are horrifying!'
"Actually, I have to agree with this guy, spiders terrify me." Utf stated.
The next part of the e-mail read. 'Papyrus, can you teach me how to make your famous spaghetti?'
"NYEH HEH HEH! (Nyeh heh heh intensifies) I WILL GLADLY TAKE YOU THROUGH STEP BY STEP ON HOW TO MAKE SPAGHETTI." Papyrus exclaimed. The skeleton then demonstrated, what to do and the technique. "AND OF COURSE, MY EXPERTLY POLISHED SKILLS HAVE COME A LONG WAY." He said, moving on to putting the noodles in."AND THAT, HUMAN, IS HOW YOU COOK FINE ARTISAN SPAGHETTI!" Papyrus exclaimed.
"Caw Caw (Here, this is from Zach, who promised good treats, so pay up!)" The bird said rudely, which Frisk translated.
'wow, rude' Sans exclaimed
Frisk took the note and read it. "'Sorry guys, no service here so I had to send a raven. Please feed him, as I promised him goodies for doing this. Azzy and Chara, what was the most fun thing you guys did together before the incident? Abigail, what was your childhood like?Sans and Papyrus, Halloween is really fun on the surface, you dress up in costumes, kids go door to door asking for candy, you carve faces into pumpkins, it's great! Although there will in fact be naked skeletons, so brace yourselves.'" They said.
"I'd have to say accidentally poisoning dad, it was so funny, I had to laugh it off. What was funny about that, was that we mistook the ingredients, when it was stated as 'cups of butter'." Chara joked. "Actually, that's when I had the Idea for Azzy to take my soul, cross the barrier and free monsterkind, but that uh didn't work out too great.
"Wait... what plan?" Asgore asked.
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore! Chara planned to poison themself with buttercups and for me to absorb their soul, after that, we had split control over my body and they took their lifeless body, which I tried to resist, because I had a feeling of what would happen. I-We could've killed them all, but I couldn't go through with it. Just because my name, when you switch the letters around, spells 'Serial Murderer.'" Asriel confessed.
"My child, is this true?" Toriel asked.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Toriel, Asgore, but I knew about it and didn't tell you, I found the tapes in the lab and watched them." Frisk confessed.
"in two words, 'high expectations.'" Abi stated.
"that's good ta hear, we will make sure to watch out for the fake skellies everywhere." Sans replied. Suddenly, the neko with fur made out of fire raced past, being chased by angel, all the whilst hissing at Angel.
"Shocker, do you know that you're hot? Cuz you're on fire.~" Blanch said, flirting. Chara restrained Angel, whilst Frisk soothed the neko named Shocker down. Frisk's eyes glowed green in the process.
"Wait... Shocker is the neko's name? But why? Why is a neko named after one of my attacks?" Asriel silently wondered.
(Meanwhile, Q&AWTG)
"So how's everyone been doing? Adjusting to being parents?" Zach asked. The replies he got consisted of a few 'meh's', a couple of 'really well's' and a 'nyeh' in there.
"So Patty, meet anyone new you're interested in while we've been gone?" Zach asked.
"Nah, I'm waiting for the right guy, after all it is the most dominant trait in my soul, Patience." Patty stated, shoing her cyan soul.
"Hey cutie, you like raisins?" Zara asked.
"Rasins are yuck!" Finn exclaimed.
"Then howabout a date?" Zara asked.
"Dates are yuck!" Finn exclaimed.
"Well Chara... She definitely has some of your determination. Man... If she's like this now, wait until she's older and discovers that heat's a thing with werewolves. That's gonna be fun to deal with." Zach chuckled, turning to Chara.
"Hang on, I thought her soul would be a Bravery soul if she was a human. So that means, Zara is gutsy enough to flirt in the first place." Chara corrected.
In the meantime, The big kids were out exploring. Emma and Sariel were hanging out together, whilst Allie, Roland and Sorial were going a different way. Again, Allie felt like a third wheeler. " Nicodemus is a reference to a book series/ animated movie called Secret of NIMH, it's about lab rats who become super intelligent due to experiments, Nicodemus is their leader. And he is cool." Emma explained. "So anyway, what are you having your bro ask Scales about?" Emma prodded.
Sariel looked around to make sure nobody was in earshot. "You, know, having a sneaking sucpicion that Roland still likes Allie, that's the 'favour' I asked of my bro." Sariel whispered.
"So, how's your fishing trip going?" Allie asked the two boys cautiously.
"Who knew makeshift rods were better than the real thing?" Roland asked nervously.
This was Sorial's cue to prod deeper. "Are you okay, you sounded a bit nervous, especally seeing as we have practically known each other since birth." Sorial stated.
"It's uh, nothing." Roland stated.
"Y'know, once upon a time,(Once upon a time intensifies) you had a crush on Al, but then, after we went our separate ways, you started dating my sis." Sorial stated.
"You're not wrong there, though after having some cake, I realised I was defending Aluminia, not because I liked her, but because Sariel was her best friend." Roland explained.
Later, after the big kids returned from their walk, they spent some time entertaining the toddlers. Emma was making shadow puppets. "Alright, what's this?" She asked as she made a dog shadow.
" That dog who can only see moving things!" Angiel exclaimed. He guessed correctly.
"Good! What about this?" Emma asked, making a goat-like shadow.
"Uncle Azzy!" Zara shouted, she too was correct.
"Alright now behold, the most complicated shadow ever... the Rock!" Emma said, giggling.
"Funny, that doesn't look like Dwayne Jhonson." Allie joked.
"Hey Emma, Sariel, Sorial, come here!" Sans called
"Coming!" Emma shouted as the trio left to see what Sans wanted. The shadow stayed there, Emma looked back to see what the little kids would do.
Sans had all the pranksters gathered to prank the group after the scary stories, they all whispered their ideas and came up with a plan.
Hours had passed by and nightfall began. Everyone was telling scary stories. "Alright, I've got one. Back when I was around 9 or 10 I went to a summer camp, one night one of the boys wandered off. So my friend and some of the other campers split up to search for them, while I waited at camp in case he came back. At the camp there was a big area with a totem pole and a huge bonfire pit for when everyone got together to do stuff, my friend searched there... but he didn't see the missing kid. He says he saw a figure in a hooded robe, like a monk, walking to the fire pit. My friend ran, we've tried to figure out what he saw many times, a ghost, a cultist, a random man wandering around camp at night in a robe, we never found out for sure. But one thing is certain, he swears on his life he saw something at camp that night, and whatever it was made him run scared." Zach said, illuminating his face with a flashlight.
"Tra la la" The riverperson sang nervously, backing away. Everyone looked at them confused. Everyone knew that they were a ghost and married to Gaster at some point, they had even gotten back together with Gaster around a year and a half ago. The thing is... the Riverperson wasn't just Sans and Papyrus's mother.
After a while, all the little ones were put to sleep. "That wasn't even scary." Sorial stated.
"Yeah, tell an actual horror story" Sariel exclaimed, all the other older kids agreed.
"... not scary enough for you eh? Heh... kids, did you forget I grew up human? Monsters in the underground feared us for what we could do... and we know this, our scary stories are about what we could become if we aren't careful... Psycopaths who wander the woods, with sharp weapons, haunted sanatoriums where the souls of people who went though hell still walk the halls, people loosing themselves to their own madness... is this the kind of story you'd like?" Zach asked.
"This is gonna be good, I can tell." Allie stated.
"Alright... the native people of where I'm from and north of there speak of a creature who roams the woods in the dead of winter... they call it the wendigo. It is said to come into being when someone resorts to eating their own kind while starving in the woods. It is said that the evil spirit takes hold of them and curses them for their crime against nature. They become a tall, gangly creature, nearly skin and bones, with shaggy, matted fur and a head that looks like a deer skull with antlers. It roams the woods seeking food, usually poor, unsuspecting people lost in the woods. But for all it eats, it's stomach grows the same amount. It can never be full. It is always hungry... I don't know if it'd try to eat something that'd turn to dust when it dies, but it may not know that. Or maybe it does and would eat you alive instead, just to feel something in its stomach again? I don't know, and hopefully won't find out... the thing I wonder is if they remember who they were? Do they forget as they become lost to the demon, or are they just to hungry to care? Well either way, they say that on cold winter nights, you can still hear the shriek of the starving beast in the woods, looking for anything to sate its hunger." Zach said, telling the story.
Everyone looked around to find the pranksters missing, them and only the pranksters. Everybody heard a noise in the woods, looking towards the source of the noise, and several bloodcurdling screams. "Well, it's late. You guys should head to bed." Zach said to the remaining two older kids, the other three nowhere to be found. "What? Too far?" Zach asked, looking at the other Adults.
"you didn't take it too far." Sans said, returning with the other pranksters. Everyone's faces went pale white, like a sheet of paper.
"What's wrong, you lot look like you've seen ghosts...you know what I mean." Utf joked "Though, it was cruel of us." She apologised.
"c'mon kiddos, off to bed." Sans said to the skeletwins and Emma.
"Well, we'll see how they are in the morning. If nothing else I scared them off cannibalism." Zach said.
"We." Utf corrected.
