Previously In Part one of Chapter One:
Frisk was in the middle of a crowd of Monsters, it looks like she was in the shopping district. Monsters were selling their products or eating from outside stalls.
"I'm lost..."
Frisk looks at all the Monsters walking and floating by.
(There are so many Monsters... I'm feeling so claustrophobic right now...)
She looks around and spots an area that was empty.
(That seems like a better place) ...
Chapter One:
A Stunning Encounter [2]
She searched in every nook and cranny of the narrow alleyway. As this was the only place without any other presence, except her's.
Frisk murmured while squatting near a small gated tunnel, "Asriel?" the whisper echoed.
Frisk peers behind boxes and trash cans. Nevertheless, there was no sign of him.
"Sigh..."
(He usually just pops up when I call.)
She stood still.
Now actually getting the chance to really observe her situation. First, she was lost, and alone, especially in a dark and secluded area from any eyes or ears. It was the perfect setting for something mysterious to happen.
Regret began to seep into her head.
( I should have listed to Asriel and told someone... or I could have just decline that fans offer...)
Eyeing the passing crowd, she frowned. No one could fully see her face, probably her muzzle, but that's all. However, what made the robe even better, was that it could conceal the magical energy that would sometimes escape from her body. It was her mother that made these type of robes. Though, now isn't the time to remember the properties of this material, Frisk needed to think of something.
(I don't want anyone to think, there's a weirdo in a robe that barely covers their face, who is also conveniently located in a dark and quiet alleyway.)
Frisk shivers.
(There'll be a lot of stares...)
Well, maybe not like that...
(Wait a second...)
(Where was I supposed to be again?)
She takes out her phone, and gazes at the message on the screen.
' You can meet me at Muffets Cafe at 3:42 p.m! It's only a couple of blocks away from the MTT threate. I'll be wearing a polka dot dress.'
"Where in the Land is the MTT Theatre?!" She spoke loudly.
Some Monsters outside the alleyway glanced at her.
She blushes and waves shyly.
They face her with confusement, while some actually granted her a genuine smile, but continue on. However, one Monster strolls towards her direction. He was a fox Monster, in a green sweater shirt that had a gray snake patched on top and wore brown sleek pants.
"Do you need help miss?" He asked.
(Miss?)
She blushed underneath her hoodie.
(Oh...)
Well it would make sense, she wasn't wearing any stripes. But, had made the decision not to. Questions led to that...
She tried looking at him, but to no avail, she just kept her head down.
Frisk tail wrapped around her leg, "Uh-uh, um, ye-yes please." She stuttered softly and quietly.
"Are you lost?" Worry began to spread across his face.
She nods.
"I-I was tr-trying to find Muffet's C-Cafe..." She said meekly.
Slowly his slanted eyes widened, "Oh," He said with realisation.
"you're probably new around here," the fox smiled, "sure, I'll guide you. Just follow me." He turns towards the side glancing at her.
Frisk smile widened, "Th-thank you very much!" She scurried to him.
Frisk and the fox Monster walk towards the crowd.
Never follow strangers Frisk...
After two hours Frisk was finally at the cafe. The exterior was elegantly painted in a slightly bright orange with purple tiles on it's roof. It looked large from Frisk view; well everything looked large to her. She could see pastries through the two large windows adorned in silver webs, with a sign on the left that read:
' Muffet's Cafe. All Made and All Served By Spiders'
She turned towards Johnson. He had introduced himself during their adventure.
"Thank you s-so much. I wouldn't have never stumbled upon this place, if it wasn't for you." She bowed elegantly with her paws clasped in front of her.
Johnson's whiskers twitched, he scratched his pointy ear, "No problem... Just don't get lost again." He said with a smile. Waltzing towards the street he waved with a slight blush across his orange fur.
Frisk waved to him with a childish smile.
Turning to the building she grinned.
(Maybe this won't be so bad...)
Walking towards the glass door with a cherry wood frame, she entered the cafe. There was a ringing of a bell from the side wall, it was at her right. A variety of lavishly dressed Monsters, were seated at mulberry wooden tables and seats. Each were engaging in conversation with another or enjoying a meal, tea, or coffee by themselves. The interior was of a purple theme, with light painted creamy lavender walls and ceiling, which was decorated with webs in each corner. Plum coarse carpet, that itched her bare clawed feet, and transparent eggplant curtains, which hung from black poles at a small window, on the left and right side walls. Spiders were serving the customers and a tall humanoid spider with an elegant bob hairstyle, a red apron, and five midnight black eyes that shined when she saw Frisk robe, smiled from behind the iris counter.
"Huhuhuh." The tall spider snickers behind one of her lean six hands.
"Welcome to Muffet's Cafe, pastries and drinks made and served by spiders. I'm Muffet, how may I be of service?" She smiled.
Frisk could see her pure white fangs in her mouth, as she grinned , hungrily.
"U-um, I'm here for the table of two? It's our first time meeting..." Frisk stammered.
"Oh, yes. The table for two." Her countenance fluctuated, she frowned, slightly, from what seemed like disappointment.
One of the small spiders crawl towards Frisk direction on the counter and urged her to follow.
"Go on, they will lead you to your date."
Her face had down right turned into a cherry. (d-date!)
"It's not a date," Frisk insisted, surprisingly calm, "I'm just meeting a fan..."
Muffet arched a brow, "Hmm."
Frisk quickly followed the small spider.
They had brought her to the back of the Cafe to a little secluded corner. In one of the jam booths was a small yellow and nervous looking, female reptalian Monster with round glasses, and a black with white polka dot dress.
"Sigh..."
The female reptalian glimsped at Frisk. She gaped and stood in a matter of seconds.
"A-are you, Magnolia?!" She squealed.
Frisk nods.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my GOSH! I'm meeting the, Magnolia!" She squealed louder.
The other Monsters were stareing at the two. Muffet was giggling.
"Oops..." the yellow reptalian blushes dark red.
"Cough. Excuse me." She sits back down.
Frisk sits in the booth across from her.
"...Um, hi..."
"Hi.." Frisk blushed. She stares at her lap.
"..." The yellow reptalian looks at Frisk.
"Um... I don't think I got to introduce myself. B-but I'm Alphys..." She stuck her clawed hand out to Frisk.
"Frisk..." She smiled and shook her offered hand.
Alphys smiles back.
"Um, this place is quite refined." Frisk commented while observing the area once again.
"Only for the best, well... my friend actually recommended his place than this one." She said.
"B-but, I wanted someplace more quiet, I g-guess." Alphys twiddled with her thumbs on the mahogany red table.
(This is my type of girl.)
Frisk smiles.
"I'm fine with quiet, I actually like my places very secluded and calm."
"Phew."
"D-does that mean I, d-did great?"Alphys looks at Frisk for confirmation.
"You did." She said.
Alphys grins.
"So, um..." She shifted her glasses.
Frisk gazed at Alphys.
"When do you p-plan on completing Poison Love? I kn-know you plan on c-continuing it, but..."
Frisk looks down.
"...It depends on what comes in mind. But the way it's going... I probably might end it." She said sadly.
Alphys stares at her in shock.
"M-maybe I can suggest something that could l-lead it into a d-different situation!"
(This is a first)
"L-like, instead Fiene could realise that Riel is in trouble from a clue he probably left!" She said.
"... I'd have to check back in some of the previous chapters if there is a clue..." Frisk said strategically.
"...Gasp! Th-there was one! It was in chapter 39, when Riel was beginning to have some headaches but past it off from lack of sleep!" Said Alphyes.
"...That's right! I completely forgotten about that part in the chapter. It was just a small detail I wanted to put in... but now I have to remind Fiene of that event, and find a way for her to locate him." She said.
"... that would be complicated..."
"How about this situation!" Alphys gleamed.
Alphys began conveying her ideas and thoughts of what should happen, with exhilaration. Frisk would nod in agreement of some of her decisions, and improve the ideas to fit her liking. While they were talking some of the Monsters were glancing with fascination. Others were straight out, entranced by the story. The two story tellers paid no attention to the gazes of the entire cafe.
Frisk was slowly becoming comfortable around Alphys, and didn't even realize her stuttering had stopped.
"Y-you're only sixty-one years old?! You're so young!" She said shockingly.
Frisk blushes and nods.
Before they could realize it, the two had long finished talking about the story and onto personal questions. Like their favorite color or favorite dish. Then onto their professions, which Alphys revealed to work as an engineer, and Soul scientist.
"Now I feel old." Alphys sulked.
"Hey, I'm almost an adolescent... in a few years..." she added with disappointed and disbelief.
She glances at Alphys, "How old are you?"
Alphys blushed, "I-I'm ninety-four ."
Frisk beamed with joy "That's still young!"
Alphys laughs.
"You're r-really sweet Frisk." She said.
Frisk blushes.
Alphyes looks out the window.
"It's getting l-late."
She glanced at Frisk.
"D-do you want me to walk you home?"
Frisk shakes her head.
"No thank you." She answered.
Alphys gazed at her with worry, "a-are you sh-sure?"
Frisk nods.
(I can see the castle from here, so getting home will be much easier than when I was trying to find this place...)
"You w-wouldn't mind if we can m-meet again, Frisk?" Alphys asked.
"...At first, I thought this was going to be the last time I come out. But I guess, friends are cool." She smiled.
"F-friends! We're friends!" Alphys gapes.
Frisk nods.
"I-Ill try to be the best friend you can count on!" She squealed.
Frisk grins.
"I'll try too."
After saying their goodbyes at the front of the café Frisk sighed.
(A good deal of Monsters were quite interested in my story)
She grinned.
(More people interested in my tales. And ms. Muffet even gave me a discount.)
The sun was setting and Frisk had finally made it back. Looking over her shoulder to see if the coast was clear, she relaxed when she only saw the road and trees at the side on the open field. Turning to the gate with the royal crest, Frisk placed her paw on it and drew her fire magic ;preferably her green one. It slowly creaked open...
.Shiver.
Frisk felt a presence.
Swiftly turning around, she saw nothing.
"Sigh..."
(I am becoming quite paranoid lately...)
Frisk falls on her bed in her silky white gown.
"Sigh..."
She smiles.
(Who knew making friends could be so fun! I even exchanged numbers!)
She giggled.
(A friend...)
(Someone to have picnics with... maybe I can make more! We could all go on one!)
Frisk smiles brightly.
(No one saw me...)
"Sigh.."
Frisk ordered her fire to fade, snuggles underneath the covers and falls asleep.
