Previously: Simon and Carol visit the Lab in Hotland (after visiting Muffet) and meet Undyne and Dr. Alphys, finding out what they need to about Deos and Cali and, much to their relief, Liam (the purple soul child) their son, was alive, although before they can take him and the other five of the ressurected human children, they have a tour of the Underground to complete, so they had to leave Liam in the Lab until they're done.

Simon and Carol were following the Dreemurrs into the wetter and cooler part of the underground known as Waterfall, they visited the Temmie Village, where the Temmies live, they didn't know what to make of them...they then passed by an opening and out of it is Gerson, an elderly monster that resembled a anthromorphic tortoise in an explorer outfit, they stopped being surprised by, this based on what they've seen so far.
"Hey, I wasn't expectin' any fully-grown humans down here so soon, I'm Gerson, I was around when we were all forced down 'ere." Gerson said.
"Yeah, we've been getting that a lot since we've been here, I'm Simon, this is my wife, Carol, we were also told that Asgore and Toriel were around that time as well, I can guess it's because you're reptilian that you've lasted long enough to see the sun again, they had the ability to stop aging due to...I'll stop there." Simon said.
"Yeah, it was good to be around long enough to get outside, I missed the sun...I guess humans have mellowed out since then." Gerson said.
"They have, sir." Asriel said.
"Well, they haven't tried to kill us." Chara said.
"No, you're just too cute!" Carol said, as she petted them both, they looked embarrassed.
"Well, unless they're trying to kill you with embarrassment, I think that things are going to be better now, heh." Gerson said.
"We would like to invite you to dinner later, it has been too long since we have invited you for anything, is that not so...Fluffybuns?" Toriel said, with some affection in her voice as she looked at Asgore, he was blushing.
"I'm glad that you two have made up with each other, I look forward to it". Gerson said, as he went back to his shop.
"Who's next?" Carol asked.
"Napstablook, Mettaton's cousin lives here, he runs a snail farm...I can't get enough of them..." Chara said, while slightly salivating at the thought.
"You really do have a strong craving for snails? I know of this restaurant that some of the more adventurous diners go to, there are a..." Carol asked, she then stopped as they walked up to the homes of the two ghosts, they then saw a blue ghost pass through the door of the blue house, this shocked Simon and Carol.
"Ghosts ARE real?!" Simon shouted.
"Uh...yeah...Sorry if I'm bothering you." Napstablook said.
"No, I just haven't seen a ghost before, there are shows that you'd be a hit on." Carol said.
"I do music, is that what you're thinking of?" Napstablook said.
"No, those shows that investigate the paranormal, can you imagine the ratings that you'd get" Carol said.
"That's more my cousin's thing, getting attention." Napstablook said.
"Trust me, even you'd get attention on that." Carol said.
"Really?" Napstablook asked.
"It would appear that tastes have changed radically since we were last on the surface, oh...and I shall need to get some more snails on the way back from Snowdin, Chara has developed quite an appetite for them...I can understand that." Toriel said.
"Okay." Napstablook said, as he disappeared from sight.
"So, what's next?" Simon asked.
"Snowdin, that's an interesting place..." Frisk said.
"I'm guessing that it's called that because it's the coldest part of the underground?" Carol asked.
"Yes, that was my doing." Asgore said.
"He's not the best with naming things..." Toriel said.
"Well...let's go there then." Simon said.
They then started the journey to the last part of the underground, wondering what they'll find there...besides snow and ice, under Mt. Ebott is clearly not a place that obeys the normal laws of physics, monsters are a magical race who COULD'VE been a threat to humans, but they weren't the more dangerous race, humans were...they could've wiped the monsters out, if they didn't seal the monsters underground, granted there were some monsters who were still hostile towards humans, but that's why Asgore doesn't want them to move to the surface right away, he or more likely Toriel, as she was clearly the one in charge, wanted to be more cautious this time around, to reduce the risk of hostile reactions towards them...
(Deos' Apartment)
Deos was trying and failing to hold back what he's feeling as Cali was seductively telling him about what she was working on to streamline any future jobs that she's hired for, it was technical, it was nerdy and she did everything that she could to provoke him in this way, she knows what he finds attractive about her and she likes embracing who she is and she likes it that he likes it as well, there's SO much that she wanted to try with him, but that's for later...
"You know, I have a family history of eyesight issues..." Cali said, playfully.
"Is this going anywhere?" Deos asked.
"What if I had to wear glasses?" Cali asked, looking at him, starting to look upset, they both knew this wasn't genuine, but he understood why.
"It wouldn't make me think less of you." Deos said, Cali then looked at him in his eyes.
"Really?" Cali asked.
"In fact, it would bring out what attracts me to you, it would make it more obvious than it otherwise would be." Deos said.
"He he..." Cali said, with a big smile on her face "I have a job that I need to take care of now, I'll be back after I'm done..." she whispered into his ear "I want to try something out with you..."
"I look forward to it..." Deos said, both were exciting each other.
"Bye, Deos" Cali said, as she slowly walked out, Deos then walked to his setup and awaited the next update of Dr. Alphys on what was happening in the underground.
(Waterfall)
The Dreemurrs are leading Simon and Carol to the boundary of Waterfal, they are about to enter Snowdin, their attention is then attracted by Sans, a skeleton wearing clothes who is close to the height of the children, both human and monster.
"Hello Sans, I see that you have been waiting for us." Toriel said.
"Yeah, the weight of guard duty was startin' to get to me" Sans said, making Toriel laugh.
"I see we have some visitors." Sans said, looking in the direction of the two adult humans. "I'm Sans, Sans the Skeleton."
"I'm Simon, this is my wife Carol" Simon said, both he and Carol are slightly unnerved by the proven existence of the undead.
"It's pretty obvious that you don't eat brains, otherwise Frisk would've been in trouble" Carol said, this made Frisk cross their arms and did not look pleased by this statement.
"Nah, ketchup is better, 'sides, Tori wouldn't like it and if Fluffybuns doesn't wanna fight her, I've got no chance, I did better against that demon that we exorcised out of Chara." Sans said, who then looked at Chara "I guess humans have changed since you were last on the surface".
"Yeah, the worst they've done so far is pet us." Chara said.
"Worst?" Carol said as she continued to pet Chara and Asriel, they can't contain the embarrassment.
"You wanna met my brother, he's big of spaghetti and thanks to Tori, I find myself sittin' around, not makin' any excuses for not eating at home. I'm no longer having a take-out." Sans said, Toriel giggled at this.
"Why not? If we don't meet him, he'll meet us, we've met everyone else that way." Carol said, they then look as Sans walked the other way, Simon and Carol was confused by this.
"He does that, like he makes mom laugh." Said Frisk, as they all walked towards Snowdin and the final part of the tour, Simon and Carol noticed that Frisk sees these talking goats as their new family, they aren't the most obvious choice, but they're had to go through a lot to get to this point...
How will Simon and Carol react to the inhabitants of Snowdin? What will happen next and how will Deos (and any others) fit in? Find out in Chapter 37: Intemperate Conclusion.
