Previously: Simon and Carol visited Snowdin and was introduced to Papyrus and Monster Kid, Dr Alphys was showing some promising results with the reversal of the amalgamates and another of the resurrected human children is reunited with a family member, when Sans brings them to the car park to more safely get them down the mountain...
(Astovius School)
Has it really been two years since the barrier was broken and a more peaceful relationship between Humans and Monsters was made? This is what Toriel was thinking in her Lilac sweater and Purple dress, she checked her glasses and they were clear, good, she at least looked the part as she stood outside, worried at how she'll do on her first day, the humans have gotten used to the idea of co-existing with monsters, as well as letting their children be educated in a school with a mix of human and monster staff, she was even able to persuade Asgore to tend to the plant life outside it, which he was happy to do so, some asked how he isn't embarrassed while wearing a pink shirt with a yellow flower motif, but she knows that he's not at all embarrassed by this, besides...no! These thoughts are inappropriate right now! Wait until we get home...she then sees Monster Kid run towards the school, falling flat on his face once, before getting up again and walking towards the main entrance.
"You should be more careful, you could hurt yourself" Toriel said.
"I was in a hurry, Mrs Dreemurr, I didn't want to be late." Monster Kid said.
"You are one of the first to arrive and I see the rest are not far behind, your carer came here before you with your lunch and everything else that you need." Toriel said.
"Thanks for telling me that, Mrs Dreemurr." Monster Kid said, as he walked inside the school.
Toriel then thought of her children, Asriel - her first born who was trapped in a fate worse than death and was brought back to life, Chara - her first adopted human child who was a psychopath possessed by a demon, who killed themselves by buttercup poisoning, but then they had it exorcised from them and then they were brought back to life as a boss monster that more closely resembled Asgore than her and behaved much better than they were, when they were human and finally Frisk - her second adopted human child, the one who was able to convince monsters that humans have changed since the last time they met, although they had help from a magic wielding human, Deos - a human that knew all the variations of what would happen, he didn't like it, so he "wrote himself into the plot" so that an outcome that they could all live with and the crimes of the past could be undone, the lives of the monsters have improved, she admitted to herself, even Dr. Alphys was able to repair the damage that she did, having long separated the amalgamates into their separate parts without killing them, it truly seemed like things were looking up...
(Deos' Apartment)
Cali was sitting near the computer, talking with Dr. Alphys, at least now they don't need any special apparatus to do this now...she once hated that reptilian otaku, but now she's grown to like her, they've become more confident and secure about themselves since all of their emotional baggage was dealt with.
"The energy generated from the CORE is surprisingly compatible with the rest of the grid, it's been a year, give or take since it's been connected to it." Dr. Alphys said.
"I know, it's around that time that I moved in with Deos, I had a...unique way for us to get an understanding with each other." Cali said.
"Yeah, switching bodies...I didn't want to ask before, but...how was it as a guy?" Dr. Alphys asked.
"Different, there's one part that he has no control over." Cali relied.
Dr. Alphys gasped "Did you?..."
"Yeah, it was hard to ignore...I let him examine my body, it was only fair." Cali replied.
"So...where is Deos?" Dr. Alphys asked.
"Getting some supplies, it's a good thing that he's strong at human standards, he's carrying enough for both of us." Cali replied.
"I don't wanna think about how much he'd need to carry with him, if there's more than one of you." Dr. Alphys.
"Alphys!" Cali shouted.
"S-Sorry, I d-didn't..." Dr. Alphys said nervously, this anxiety attacks have become less frequent, although that doesn't stop them from happening.
"That's okay, we haven't thought that far ahead, we haven't even considered marriage plans yet." Cali reassured her. "If and when we do decide to start a family, we don't have to do it the natural way."
"How is this...?" Dr. Alphys asked.
"Let us just say that it's similar to natural birth, but without the figure loss, although I still have a connection to the baby, need to eat more and then there's the pain..." Cali replied, with some dread in her voice.
"I see..." Dr. Alphys said.
"On the plus side, it's only half as bad as natural birth...mostly because Deos will get the rest." Cali said.
"Hey! Aren't you forgetting something?" Undyne asked.
"What...oh yeah, I gotta go, bye Cali" Dr. Alphys said with a surprised tone.
"Yeah, bye Alphys, sorry to have kept you." Cali said as Dr. Alphys hung up. "I have something that I need to be doing myself.
(Astovius School - Cafeteria)
Frisk, Asriel, Chara and Monster Kid (and his carer, who was feeding him) were sitting down eating after their morning classes, sitting nearby are Lily (the Light Blue soul child) Alice (her blind niece...Lily was gone for a while) Sam (the Orange Soul child) Niome (the Blue soul child) Peter (the Green soul child) Liam (the Purple Soul child) and Kylie (the Yellow Soul child) they were resisting the urge to go up to the fuzzy goats to pet them...
"Chara, can you relax?! You've not been attacked, you don't have to worry about that anymore...and I thought that Dr. Alphys was the nervous one." Sam Said
"Sam! That was mean." Frisk said with a frown on their face.
"Sorry, I was just annoyed with Chara always watching their back." Sam said.
"It might seem weird that our mother is a teacher here, but I'm glad that she is, you and the others wouldn't stop petting us." Asriel said.
"Come on, Azzy, it wasn't just us, he he." Lily said.
"Almost all the whole class that." Alice said.
"How did you know it was us?" Chara said, still embarrassed by what happened.
"Aunt Lily helped me." Alice replied.
"I can believe how quick you got used to having an aunt that's around the same age as you." Niome said.
"I helped her with the things that she finds difficult, she helped me get used to what happened since I disappeared." Lily said.
"At least she's with those who won't judge her because she's different." Liam Said.
"To be fair, she's with two talking goats and an armless reptile, so she's got a lot of different around her and it doesn't matter to any of his" Kylie Said
"You've got that right!" Peter said.
"We had a scare when Dad tried to make chocolate snail pie..." Chara said.
"Ewwww..." Said the six fallen children and Alice.
"Sorry for grossing you out, he started a fire that Mom put out, she was so mad at him that we thought that the family would be destroyed again." Chara continued.
"Yeah, she calmed down when she saw him collapse in tears...she's a lot more forgiving than she was last time he did something dangerous." Asriel said.
"Are you gonna watch Mettaton's new show? I'm certainly gonna hear it, because..." Alice asked.
"I'm certainly gonna watch that, I'm part of the reason why he's even up here in the first place" Frisk replied.
"So..." Lily said as she led Alice to where Asriel and Chara were sitting to pet them, their faces showing the usual embarrassment "when do your horns usually come out?"
"Lily!" Liam said with a tone of amusement, the others laughing at this.
"I guess the two of you were expecting a reaction from the other humans, just not the same kind that those we've already met have shown. Well...next is gym class, I hear Coach is gonna do some dodgeball...for some reason, I feel determined knowing that." Frisk said.
(Mt. Ebott)
Six of the Order of Seven are waiting just below Mt. Ebott, they're waiting for the one that isn't there yet, they appear to be preparing for something...something that needs all of them to be in one place.
"How long are we gonna wait for Cali? I've got gym class in a lil while" Simone asked.
"I'm sure she's just talking with Dr. Alphys, we can wait a few minutes, Neil replied.
"She's used to go out of the way to NOT talk to her, now she looks forward to it." Lara said.
Then Deos walked over and Cali was with him "We can finally get this started, there's one more loose end that we have to tie up." Deos said.
"Yeah, THAT one" Cali said.
"He risked himself to try and find another way of getting out of the underground and ended up being scattered, now that you found that item of his in the CORE, we can pull him together, just like you pulled Asriel's soul together and truly brought him back." Paula said.
"What are we waiting for, let's do this" Alec said.
They all gathered in a circle as Deos leaves the iten in the middle, a book written in the Wing Dings font. They all generate magic and focus their thoughts on their intent, an intent that's centered around that book that was found in the CORE, they all strain to keep it stable, as in they were lifting a heavy weight, but after a few minutes in a flash of light, a skeleton wearing black with a "scar" on the right side of his uneven face, he was lying down on the floor, at first, but then he gets up, picking up the book that was used to get him out of wherever he was.
"Welcome to the surface, W.D. Gaster, I'm sure that you have a lot of questions...don't worry, none of us have read the contents of that book." Deos said.
"Where are Sans and Papyrus?...a grave crisis is coming." W.D. Gaster asked.
Humans and monsters are at peace with each other, the Dreemurrs are together again (with an extra family member and an existing member becoming fuzzy) and W.D. Gaster is on the surface after...a number of years, but what about this "grave crisis" that he spoke of? Find out in Undertale: Missing Fractures.
