Hi, everyone! Today, I will be posting not one, but two chapters! Remember when I said that if I get more than 5 reviews on one update, I'll post two chapters? Well, last week, I got NINE new reviews! Thanks, guys!

Panakeia: The reason Wingdin's parents don't have the same last name but Asgore's parents do is mostly because Asgore's family is royalty. When Asgore's mother married his father, she changed her last name into Dreemurr because she was part of the royal family now. In this story, other monsters usually just keep their last names and choose one for their kids. Of course, there's also a lot of cultural differences between each race of monsters since monster kind have only been united for less than two hundred years. The skeletons, for example, combine their last names for their children, and that's why Wingdin and Cortisia have the last name Gaster. I'll show more examples of different naming systems later in the story when other races appear. (Hint: Undyne doesn't have a last name and neither does Muffet.)

SnownyKatie: Actually, Msr. is a formal gender neutrual way of addressing someone! Msr. Aster is non-binary, which is why they have always been referred to as they and not she.

Kooda: Your psychopathic soul will be satisfied.

DauntlessAngel11: I am looking forward to writing it.

Here's the first chapter for today, guys:

Entry #16

Tonight was the Angel's Festival! I was disappointed that I didn't get to spend it with my parents, but the celebration here was so fun!

The music started at around three o'clock. People started to gather into the streets. Some started to dance. We have all helped with putting decorations around the houses in the past few days. A few adults hung lanterns onto the roofs and lit them. The town became a light show what with the shiny decorations reflecting light from the lanterns. It was beautiful.

Shop owners wheeled out little carts and sold food and toys. Cortisia told us that if we were really nice, some of the vendors will give us food for free.

"I don't usually get money," she said, "but Moddy and Daddy gives me money every year on the Angel's Festival to get food. I'd rather spend it on toys though. Wingdin always buys me food."

Most of the vendors we met gave us stuff for free. I asked one of them if it's really okay to not pay them. They didn't mind.

"It's okay, young prince," they said, "The Angel's Festival is a time for giving."

The skeleton on the fiddle started to play feverously. Skeletons gathered in town square and a few stepped into a spacey area and danced to the tune. Msr. Aster and Mr. Gaban linked elbows and spun onto the dance floor. Other people joined in. I recognized this dance: it was the square dance. It was very popular during dance parties.

Toriel grabbed my arm. "Dance with me," she said.

The tempo was a bit fast for what I was used to, but we figured it our fairly soon. We made our way to Wingdin and Cortisia and asked them to join us. At first Wingdin refused, saying he "can't dance", but Cortisia scoffed and dragged him onto the dance floor anyway.

"My big brother can do anything," she said to us proudly. Wingdin was very awkward, but most of the kids that danced were awkward. Not many kids our age danced, though, it was mostly the older teens and the adults. Some of the adults looked at us and chuckled good-naturedly. I heard one skeleton call us "cute". I suppose we are pretty cute.

The fiddle music slowed down after a while and turned into a soft, smooth song where the notes all flowed into one another. Some of the adults took each other's hands and started to do a dance that I recognized as the Waltz. I wasn't very good at that kind of dance, though, so I didn't offer to do it with Toriel. She didn't mind. We just put out hands on each other's waists and swayed to the music.

"This is nice," she said.

"Yeah," I replied, "The lights are so pretty."

"It is kind of funny," she said, "I never really saw the point in dancing to slow songs before, but this one is really good. I guess you have to try something to know if you like it." She leaned against me. I suddenly realized that I was half a head taller than her now.

Toriel and I danced for a little longer, and then we decided that we were both danced out for the night. I am waiting for Toriel to finish using the washroom so I can get cleaned up and head to bed. Tonight was very nice. I want to do that again sometime.

I suppose midnight has already passed. Hmm, I wonder if I should start a new entry for a

Oh! Wingdin just knocked and told us to get dressed. He says that he'll show us the surprise now, since his parents are asleep. I suppose we won't be going to bed, then.
