The rest of the week-end was filled with notifications on Frisk's phone. Each of their friends had found at least one recording of them dancing with Mettaton and Kid, all of them visibly taken by different audience members. Mettaton himself had sent them a version recorded by his own professional crew accompanied by the message : "tell your friend that next time they want to come on stage with me, all they'll have to do is ask! PS : I'll make sure Burgerpants never forgets to pick up socks again."

They sent a quick reply before the doorbell rung and Asgore went to answer. Oh, was it time for today's interview already?

Father and child both recognised the cameraperson and soundman but the interviewer was new. Good.

"Please do take a seat", Asgore told his guests, gesturing towards the gigantic couch in the living room. "Would you like a cup of tea?"

All three accepted the offer ; however while the interviewer did sit down on the couch next to Frisk, the other two humans had to remain on their feet to set up their equipment. The interview began as their monster host was preparing the tea.

"So, , you've been all over the internet this week-end! Is it true that you being on Mettaton's stage wasn't actually planned?"

"Yes", Frisk replied simply.

Asgore arrived with the tea and set it on the low table nearby. The humans gave him a chorus of thank-yous before continuing. He stood right next to the cameraperson not to be in the frame.

"So how did it happen?" the interviewer asked the child.

"I made lots of friends Underground", the latter explained, picking up their own teacup and enjoying its warmth in their hands.

"Yes, of course… and that other child is your classmate, correct?"

"Why are you asking questions you already know the answer to?" Frisk asked, genuinely confused.

They gently blew on the steaming drink to cool it down a little.

"Also, if I may intervene", Asgore said, "why haven't you mentioned the reason why this free concert took place?"

The others stayed silent for a second. Him actively taking part in interviews of Frisk was something that hadn't occurred in a long time.

The journalist took the hint and started asking questions about the new law instead. The boss monster didn't utter another word until it was time to say goodbye to his guests.

The next Monday at school, both Frisk and Kid were swarmed with compliments and questions from the other students such as "hey, it was even better than when you were on the Underground TV!" or "can you two get us backstage passes some day?"

If the human was overwhelmed, their friend was even more so, as they weren't used to such attention. Which is why Kid found themselves escaping to the bathroom at recess for the first time in their life.

"Kid?" Frisk called as they followed after them.

The young monster was pushing one of the doors opened with their face as their human friend joined them.

"Can I…?" Frisk asked, holding the door open.

Kid nodded and soon the two kids locked themselves in the bathroom stall farther from the exit and sat on the floor together.

"I-I didn't know being famous was so…" the monster said after about a minute of silence. "Is that how you live all the time?"

"Every time something new happens. Then they calm down after a while with no news. Or when the story isn't 'fresh' anymore."

"Oh, ok…"

"I'm sorry", Frisk apologised.

"No, don't be!" their friend replied, sitting up straight from their previously slouched position against the wall of the bathroom stall. "Dancing with you was great! If I could go back in time, I'd totally do it again!"

The human child stared at the opposite wall. They could go back in time. Their last SAVE was before Mettaton's show. Would they do it again? As much as they wanted to… they knew they probably shouldn't, as it would be incredibly selfish. Not to mention they promised Sans not to mess with the timelines anymore unless they really had no other choice.

"Frisk?" the monster kid called, bringing their friend back to reality.

Frisk gave them a reassuring smile and side-hug.

"We could do that again some day", they said. "No time travel."

"No camera either?"

The human shook their head. Then the bell rung the end of recess and they helped kid up so they could both go back to class.
