After everyone had gotten to the surface Muffet had opened a bakery that Frisk stopped at regularly on her way home from school.
"Hiya Muffet!"
"Oh, hello dearie~! Hows my favorite customer!"
"I'm fine."
"Where's your father?"
"He's back at school with mom helping with something, and uncle Pappy is out on a training trip with Undyne."
"Oh, well if you want i can have my pet walk you home?" Muffet asked and offered Frisk a cup of tea. Her pet came out of a doorway and Frisk was thankful that she never had to fight that thing.
"Its ok."
"Oh please dear. As i've told you, we're in your debt. Down in the underground you were one of the only ones who paid 9999G for my sweets. Thanks to you i was able to open up this bakery, my pride and joy. If there's anything i can do for you just say the word."
"thanks muffet but that won't be necessary." A voice said as the bell rang, signifying there was a customer.
"Dad!"
"hey frisk, hey muffet."
"Hello Sans."
"Hey dad can i buy some sweets with my money from the tooth fairy?"
"sure kid it's your money, you can buy whatever you want."
"Ok. Hey, Muffet do you have change of a hundred?" She asked innocently. Sans suddenly paled and his eyes went black as he stared into space.
"I believe I do, what would you like dear?" Frisk walked over to the display with Muffet as Sans pulled out his wallet. He had at least 15 singles, two fives, and a ten. Of course Pap would take the hundred.
"damnit pap." He whispered, then went over to his daughter who was being handed a donut. "uh, wow muffet your prices really dropped once you got to the surface."
"Well yes. Believe me i didn't want to, but things are different up here I suppose." She told him bitterly and gave Frisk her change.
"ready kiddo?"
"Yup!" Frisk smiled and Sans used his magic to lift the girl onto his shoulders. As the two walked out of the bakery.
"so what do you want tonight kid? hot dogs? grillbys? what?"
"We can go to grillbys."
"alright." After stopping at home the two went to the restaurant. Frisk headed to their normal seat at the bar but was pulled back by her father's hand. "let's eat at a booth today, alright?" He explained. Frisk nodded but wondered what was going on. Dad never wanted to sit anywhere but the bar. "hey grillby! can we get some chocolate milk and ketchup over here?" He yelled to the bartender.
"So whats going on?"
"well i wanted to talk to you about a few things kiddo. want the good talk or the bad one first?"
"Um, let's get the bad one out of the way."
"your teacher called me and tori in today. said you were having a bullying problem."
"Um…" The girl nervously scratched the back of her head.
"what are they doing?"
"..."
"frisk we can't help you if you don't tell us. they also said they've seen the kids follow you to muffets?"
"They don't follow me inside. They usually wait until i come out."
"kid why weren't you telling anyone?"
"All they're doing is calling me names, it's not like their physically hurting me. I've been through the entire underground Dad. I think i can handle some bullies." She smiled to him. Damn he loved this kid, but he couldn't put enough stress on how much it bothered him that people were picking on his little girl. He knew she could handle herself, he knew that better than anyone, but she shouldn't have to. She never should have had to make the decisions she was faced with in the underground. She never should have had to deal with any of that. He promised himself that once she became his daughter she wouldn't have to make anymore decisions like that. That he would protect her no matter what. That once she became his daughter she could be a kid, carefree and happy.
"but that's what they're gonna do next frisk. start to physically hurt you. i'm not going to let that happen."
"I can take care of it dad."
"but you shouldn't have to. they never should have started in the first place." Frisk looked down in her lap as the drinks were placed on the table. The two ordered their food and Sans turned her attention back to Frisk. "tomorrow tori is gonna talk to those kids. if they dont stop im gonna intervene." Frisk knew that if Sans got involved there would be hell to pay, but she also knew she wouldn't be able to convince him otherwise.
"Ok." She sighed. "So, what was the good news."
"well…"
