As Frisk walked home, she was very fearful of what would happen next. The Great Dragon Clan would attack New New Home shortly, and the lives of Frisk's friends would be put on the line for the second time over the past two days. As she traversed New New Home, she saw walls, archery towers, and other defenses being constructed. Monsters were being drafted into the Royal Guard in order to help defend the town. Frisk even saw some human volunteers entering the town. They were armed with guns and determined to prevent humanity's destruction.

Just then, Frisk heard a stranger's voice. "OH MY GOSH, IT'S FRISK!" The voice was female, but Frisk had never heard it before. She turned around and saw a blonde human girl who appeared to be Frisk's age and height.

"Who are you?" Frisk asked.

"My name is Katie and I'm your biggest fan! I can't believe I'm meeting the legendary Frisk! THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"

"Wow, she is a stereotypical fangirl if I ever saw one." Chara muttered.

Frisk ignored Chara. "You're right. I am the legendary Frisk. It's nice to meet you, Katie."

"It's so great to meet you, Frisk. I know I'm asking a lot, but can we hang out? I'd love to get to know you better."

"Alright, I know just where we can go to talk. Follow me."

Frisk led Katie through the streets of New New Home until she reached Grillby's. It was a burger place run by a humanoid fire monster named Grillby. The original Grillby's located underground had been closed when the monsters moved to the surface, but Grillby had opened a new one on the surface since then.

"Welcome to Grillby's, Katie." Frisk said as she opened the door. The interior of the restaurant looked exactly like that of the original Grillby's underground. The place was very busy and monsters were sitting down, enjoying their food, and talking about the recent events. As Frisk and Katie walked up to the counter, they saw…

"OH MY GOSH, IT'S SANS!" Katie yelled out, startling the skeleton.

"Frisk, your new friend scared the crap out of me." Sans said. "Who is she?"

"This is Katie and she's my biggest fan. She wants to hang out with me, so I took her here."

"That's really nice. Let me get you some burgers. Hey Grillby, get these two humans some burgers." The fire monster went into the kitchen to make some burgers for Frisk and Katie.

"So, Katie, why are you such a big fan of me and my monster friends?"

"I heard about how you freed all of these monsters from beneath Mount Ebott, and I thought it was amazing. Every monster who spoke about you on the news said that you had every right to fight back against monsters who attacked you, but you never did. You never used violence, no matter how justified you may have been in doing so. Now, you're their ambassador to humanity. You represent them on the world stage, and I think that's incredible. They also said that Sans was one of your friends."

"Yes, it is pretty great." Frisk replied. "But I didn't do it all alone. If it weren't for my friends, I would never have survived in the Underground. I made so many great friends there. Toriel, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Mettaton, Asgore, and so many others. If it weren't for them, I would have died alone and afraid under that mountain."

"Yeah, friends are great, aren't they?" Katie replied. "They're always here for you no matter what. I never had very many. I've always been fascinated by the stories of monsters under Mount Ebott, and everyone's always seen me as a nerd because of that. I do have a small fan club for the monsters, though. And it's grown a bit since the monsters left the Underground."

Grillby returned from the kitchen with Frisk and Katie's burgers. They took their burgers and started eating them. Grillby's burgers tasted a lot better than the MTT brand ones, which were made of edible glue and sequins.

"I'm glad to hear that, Katie." Frisk said. "I'm a nerd too, Katie. I like video games, cartoons, anime, and all sorts of cool stuff. And I'm the best Smash player in New New Home."

"Really? Which Smash game do you like best?"

"Melee is the best Smash game ever. Every true Smash fan knows that."

"I don't know about that, Frisk. I think Smash 4 is pretty good."

"See?! She's a heretic! Melee is clearly the best Smash game!" Chara yelled.

"I know, Chara. But even heretics need friends." Frisk thought to herself.

Sans joined the conversation. "Katie, if you like us monsters so much, you have me to talk to. I'm sure the other members of your fan club would love it if they knew you hung out with an actual monster."

"That's a great idea, Sans." Katie said. " First, can you tell me about your family?"

"Yes. I have a brother named Papyrus and a dad named W.D. Gaster. My brother is the newest member of the Royal Guard and he likes puzzles. He also likes to make spaghetti. My dad, on the other hand, is a scientist. Sometimes he and I play basketball together. I never really knew my mother, though. My dad says that she died during the war. He told me that she was beautiful and that he loved her very much."

"Okay. What do you like to do for fun?"

"As I mentioned before, I like to play basketball. My dad taught me how to dunk the ball like nobody's business. I also like to play the trombone. Other than that, I just like to hang out at Grillby's or just sleep all day."

"What do you like about Grillby's, Sans?" Katie asked.

" The food is great, and it's a great place to meet other monsters. The owner, Grillby, is one of my friends. And the ketchup is really, really good. Sometimes I just eat it by itself."

"That's kinda weird, but okay. How do you feel about the future of human-monster relations? Can there ever be peace between the two races?"

"If the monsters had any ambassador other than Frisk, then I would say no. But with Frisk as their ambassador, anything can happen. She is the kindest, strongest, and most determined human ever. I know she can lead humans and monsters to a brighter future. If she can't, then no one can."

"Wow. Yeah, Frisk is pretty great isn't she? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Well, there is one more thing. As I mentioned before, I play the trombone. I kinda like music. I have my favorite song on this mp3 player here." He pulled out an mp3 player. "Do you want to hear it?"

"Sure."

Sans pressed the play button and what sounded like a rock song started playing. It was slow at first, but it became very intense after about sixteen seconds. The song gave off a feeling of desperation, as if all of space and time was about to be erased.

Frisk and Katie enjoyed the song, but Chara commented, "It feels as if we're in an alternate timeline in which Sans is fighting to protect the entire Underground from some killer human."

"That's a cool song." Said Katie. "What's it called?"

"Megalovania." Replied Sans.

"Thanks for letting us listen to it, Sans."

"Hey Katie, if you want some more monster friends to nerd out with, I know just the monster you could talk to." Said Frisk. "Her name is Alphys. Wanna go meet her?"

"I'd love to. Let's go, Frisk." The two girls got up and headed toward the door. On their way out, however, they heard what sounded like an explosion and they felt the ground shake beneath them. Running outside, they could see smoke rising in the distance. They heard gunshots, magic spells flying, and explosions. New New Home was under attack.

"So it begins." Chara said fearfully."
