This was the most important task Kate had gotten so far. The doctor had completely put his trust in her and let her do it unsupervised. She watched as the dark fluid dripped down in the glass container. She had created, the perfect mix and were very pleased with the results. She couldn't wait for the doctor to have it!

It was not complete though. In two smaller containers, she added the final ingredient. It was done! She carefully brought them back to the office, were she put them down on the table, he was working at. He immediately took one of them without looking away from his papers. Kate tried to look busy with work while looking at him in the corner of her eye. She held her breath as he spoke.

"Thanks for the coffee.." He casually said and went over to his desk with the mug.

Kate did a silent little victory dance when he was not looking. How he had picked his own mug without looking, she had no idea. He always used the same one. His had a black and white logo which said 'black mesa' right below. Her own said 'Apature science', which were in orange font. She had figured they must have been from some kinds of firms or something like it. She shrugged and took a sip.

She looked over her shoulder at the doctor as he as well took one.

And immediately spit it out.

He turned and looked at her with a face filled with disgust. "What have you been putting in this?" He asked and pointed at his precious mug as if she had poisoned it.

"Uhm..sugar?" She explained and took another sip of her own.

"And why would you do that?" He put the mug down and faced her again while whipping his mouth.

"I... thought it would sweeten your day?" She tried her best to smile innocent. It was hard though when doctor grumpy were starring her down. She quickly went over and fetched

his mug with her fingertips. As if he would biteif, she groped it.

"I'll... go make you another one."

She was almost at the door when the doctor spoke up.

"Oh, by the way miss.. ..?" Gaster stopped. Realizing he didn't know her last name.

"Anderson." She helpfully mentioned.

"Anderson." He confirmed.

"I'm only going to be here for a couple of hours. You'll have to stay in the cell for the rest of the day." He informed as he wrote something down.

"You're going out, today?" Kate shifted the mug from one hand to the other.

"Yes."

"With who?"

Gaster turned to face her.

"I didn't say I was going with anyone." He said and took off his glasses.

"But you ARE going with someone." She pushed.

"What gave you that idea?" He began polishing his glasses with a handkerchief.

"You didn't deny it."

Shoot.

"Yes, I am meeting someone." He put on his glasses and looked up at that smug face of hers.

"It's work related!" He didn't like her, getting those petty little ideas, in her head.

"Riiight… So.. Who IS she?" Kate grinned a little wider and shifted her weight from one foot to another.

"I didn't say..never mind. Yes, it IS a female, but were simply going to look for useful human stuff at the garbage dump!" He didn't know why he was explaining. He didn't have any ulterior motives!

Kates face was, filled with disgust.

"So you're going to rummage through human garbage with your..female friend? GOD you're a terrible dater!" She looked at the celling, as if she had lost all hope for him.

"It is NOT a date! Dr. Alphys and I regularly search together for useful components." Gaster blushed. From anger of course.

"Ah! Alphys? What an interesting name. Maybe I should meet this, Dr. Alphys. I think we have a lot in common." She looked thoughtful.

"Absolutely NOT!" He denied.

"What? Why? It could be fun!" She chirped.

"Did you forget that you are a human? That I'M taking a risk hiding you? That you are wanted in the entire undergrounds? That ASGORE want's to take you? That you know about my secret research?" He counted on his fingers as he spoke.

"Yeah, but. If she's your FRIEND she won't tell. And you KNOW about my discretion policy." She stepped a little closer to him.

"She is.. NOT..my friend. I simply know her and we do stuff sometimes like watching her weird human series. Andwork together on some few projects. And keep a few secrets here and there. As I said: I simply know her. Nothing more."

Kate didn't buy it.

"What you just said is exactly what friends DO. I'm not gonna push further with the subject of meeting her, but there is no reason for you, to lie to yourself about your feelings. It's okay for you to have a friend. Don't push those close to you away because of..this!" She gestured to the lab.

Gaster was silent for a moment.

"I don't think you are in any position to have anything to say in this matter." He answered dryly.

Kate looked at the floor.

"Right. Sorry 'bout that."

Gaster sighted and rubbed his face.

"Never mind. Just.." He reached out for his mug, just to realize it was not on his desk.

Kate saw and realized she was still holding his mug.

"Right! Your coffee! Sorry! I'll go remake it right now."

"Nevermind. Just give it here." He reached out and gently took it from her.

He then took a sip and placed it on it's usual spot on his desk.

"I'm..gonna go, empty the recycle bin." She muttered and left the room. Trying to suppress her smile.

Gaster turned in his chair and shook his head. "Sweeten my day, huh? What a childish thing to say." He went on with his paperwork.

Later that day, Kate were standing in the cell and bid the doctor goodbye, before she turning around and was greeted with a huge smile, only a few inches from her face.

"Greetings Kate! You're back early!" Papyrus beamed at her.

Kate couldn't help but chuckle.

"The doctor had some stuff to do outdoors. I'm spending the rest of the day here with you two." She casually went over to her bags and began rummaging through them.

"Wowie! A whole day with you! This is going to be so much fun!" Papyrus turned around to face his brother.

"Did you hear that Sans? Kate is going to spend the WHOLE day with us!" He gave off a vake sound of bones rattling in excitement.

"Hm? Oh, yeah... that's cool, bro." Sans mumbled over from his bed. He was sitting and starring at the ceiling, as if that was way more interesting than the two people he shared room with.

As Papyrus was busy being exited, Kate saw how Sans tried to hide his irritation. He almost succeeded.

She tried to figure out why the smaller skeleton would be irritated or moody in any way. Well for once, their situation. But that was nothing they never had to deal with, so maybe that wasn't the case. Secondly, the doctor had taken the rubiks cube from him. Something about a test-period was over now or something like that. But even then, it didn't kind of make sense that he would be directly upset about it. In the end she realized she didn't know a lot about the short skeleton. She mainly knew that he were smarter than he gave away and that he had a more laid back attitude than his brother.

On a wimp, she went over and sat beside him. He looked like he really tried to hide his confusion. And suspicion.

"'Sup!" She greeted.

At first, Sans just starred back at her, but the awkward silence became to unbearable in the end.

"H.. Hi." He greeted back, looking at his feet which were tucked up on the bed.

"Are you going to play with us again, today?" She asked and innocently tilted her head.

"U-huh." He agreed shortly, still not making eye contact.

This was harder than she thought. Then, a plan popped up in her head.

"I've got an idea! How about we let YOU decide what to do, today?"

Sans finally looked at her. In confusion, though.

"What?" He asked.

"Yeah! Great idea! We let Sans choose!" His brother said and went over to them.

Sans were taken aback. He hadn't expected something like this. He totally forgot to being suspicious about Kate's request. He stumbled trough his thoughts, trying to think of something to do.

"Well..."
