Chapter Six: The Beginning of a Downfall

Frisk quickly got ready for school, grabbing her bag and racing downstairs. No one was awake yet, surprisingly. Frisk set her bag by the door, listening to the soft noises around her. It was odd being the only one awake. She made herself a bowl of cereal and ate quietly. Almost every sound she made was too loud- to hr at least. Creaking could be heard upstairs and down the stairs. Frisk looked up as Sans walked into the room.

"Morning, Sans," Frisk said.

"Mornin', kid. Where is everyone?" he asked.

"I don't know. Asleep?"

"Maybe."

We sat there quietly while I finished my breakfast. I put my dishes in the sink and went to walk into the living room, but Sans stopped me. One of his eyes were blue and a soft flame flickered in them. He seemed… concerned.

"Do you feel anything off today, Frisk?" he asked.

"U-Um… I-I don't know," she stammered. He examined her expression before sighing.

"Something's coming… I can feel it. Sorry for scaring you, kid," he apologized, the blue disappearing. He let her pass. Frisk had the feeling she'd seen him like this before, but shook it off. She checked the time and grabbed her bag.

"Bye, Sans!" she called out as she opened the door.

"Bye, kiddo," he smiled at her. She ran up to the bus as it was coming up and boarded.

Frisk walked into her classroom, binders and pencil bag in hand. She set her stuff down and sat in her seat.

"Hey, uh… girl!" someone called out. She looked over to this guy. Troy…? Tron…? Something like that. "You're, erm, friend is that tall, pink robot, right?"

"Um… yeah?" Frisk said.

"Tell him I said hi," the guy smiled.

"Oh, um… Okay!" she smiled back awkwardly.

"Frisk!" a familiar voice called out. Frisk spun around to see her old friend in the green and yellow sweater- Asriel!

"Asriel? Hi!" she gleamed and ran up to hug him. He quickly accepted the hug with a grin.

"How are you?"

"I should be asking you! I'm great!" Frisk was ecstatic.

"Alright, class. Let's calm down," the teacher said, having everyone go to their seats, "Today we have another new student. Asriel Dreemurr. Are you of any relation to Frisk?"

"She's my sister," Asriel said happily, "But, by adoption."

Some of the kids whispered.

"Ah! We have two actually," the teacher said, checking an email, "He shall be here soon. Frisk, dear, would you help him with his work for the school year? He seems to have… no arms?"

Suddenly, an orange and brown spiked monster rushes in.

"Hi, everyone! The name's Monster Kid!" he greeted. Frisk and Asriel beamed.

"So that's what the robot meant…" a kid whispered. Other kids giggled and tried getting Monster kid to sit with them, suddenly very friendly towards monsters. Monster Kid sat with Frisk and Asriel, ignoring them. Things were looking up for Frisk.

Chara growled deeply.

Monster Kid?! That wasn't in my plan! Oh, I'll have to work around this… she thought, scribbling out notes and writing some down. No one was going to ruin her plan for world domination.

Later that day, Monster Kid had said he was staying with Alphys and Undyne once they moved to a new apartment.

"That's why they were packing?" Frisk asked.

"I guess so!" Monster Kid giggled.

"So, Asriel, where are you staying?" Frisk and Monster Kid turned towards him.

Remember what Chara said…

"O-Oh, um… I actually have nowhere to go…" he said sheepishly.

"You could stay with me!" Frisk exclaimed, "Everyone- including Toriel and Asgore- will be super excited!"

"O-Okay!"

They all ate their lunches happily together, laughing and chatting.

After school, Monster Kid walked with Asriel and Frisk to the house. Frisk entered the house.

"Ah, hello, my ch-" Toriel stopped as soon as her eyes landed on Asriel, "Asriel…?"

"Hi, mom," he smiled, tears forming. He missed everyone so much.

"Oh, my sweet Asriel," she bent down and hugged him tightly. Frisk explained everything and she nodded, wiping away any stray tears. "We must have you see everyone!"

While Asriel and the others met up with everyone for a family reunion, Chara watched from the background.

"Heh heh heh," she snickered devilishly, "So the game beings.~"
