There Undyne sat. Trying to make Frisk laugh when she was only making it worse. Soon, Sans and Papyrus came up to check on Frisk.
"How is Frisk doing?" Sans asked.
"You tell me!" Undyne yelled, clearly annoyed by the crying.
"Hey, yelling won't solve this. If anything, it only scares her," Sans said.
Papyrus walked over to Frisk and tried to tickle her.
"NOO!" Frisk shouted, shoving his hands away.
"I already tried that," Undyne said.
"Hey kiddo, I'm sorry for getting so upset," Sans said, picking Frisk up. Frisk resisted, she flailed in his arms and tried to get out of his grip.
"Hey, hey I'm trying to make you happy!" Sans said, smiling. Frisk flailed her arms and sobbed louder. Sans held her away from him as she kicked her feet, trying to get lose.
"Oh brother, give her to me, I bet I can make her laugh," Papyrus said, taking Frisk from Sans. "Where's the great Papyrus?" Papyrus asked, covering his face with his hand. "Here I am!" He said, removing his hand. Frisk just cried louder. Papyrus tried many things to make Frisk crack a smile, but nothing worked. "The great Papyrus has failed," he said, handing Frisk back to Sans. The more things they tried, the louder Frisk's cries became. Soon the sound reached Flowey, and let the others know.
"WILL SOMEONE PUT A CLOTH TO THAT CHILD'S FACE?!" He shouted, loudly.
"YOU'RE NOT HELPING PETALS!" Undyne shouted down the stairs. The yelling didn't help at all. Undyne tried the key board again, but Frisk didn't find it amusing. Papyrus tried countless puzzles and games of Peekaboo, but Frisk wouldn't smile. Sans even let Frisk play with a Gaster Blaster, but she wouldn't touch it. They tried to feed her, but she wasn't hungry. They tried a second attempt at games, but that only made things worse, if that was possible. Undyne even changed her diaper, but it was clean. No matter what they did, Frisk wouldn't stop crying. Flowey even tried to make her smile, which surprised everyone. Alphys even put an anime movie on, but nothing would help. Soon, Frisk's cries became scratchy and dry, but that only made her cry more.
"Please Frisk, your just making it worse," Undyne said, hearing the sore cries. The crying went on for another ten minutes, getting louder as it went, until Toriel heard it. Toriel dropped what she was doing, and went up to Undyne's room, where the crying was coming from. She immediately picked Frisk up, and hugged her.
"Why didn't you guys do anything to help her?" Toriel asked the others, holding the crying child.
"Oh believe me, we tried!" Undyne said.
"How long has she been crying?" Toriel asked.
"About twenty minutes," Sans said.
"Oh, that's not good for her throat," Toriel said. "I'll give her some butterscotch pie later. That should take care of it," she said, trying to comfort Frisk.
"We tried everything, but she wouldn't smile!" Undyne said, exhausted.
"Oh, the reason she wouldn't smile, is because she's tired," Toriel said, rocking Frisk. Soon, Frisk's cries died down, and eventually stopped. Frisk fell asleep in Toriel's arms not long after, so Toriel placed her in Undyne's bed. Then something happened that shocked them all, all except Toriel. A small smile appeared on Frisk's face in her sleep.
"See, it doesn't take much to make her smile if you know what she needs," Toriel said, smiling. "I'd recommend letting her sleep for a while, if you wake her, I'm not going to help you then," she said.
