It was the morning of the next day. The monsters and Frisk were sleeping near the mouth of the Underground, hidden behind bushes and boulders. Each monster was assigned a shift to watch for humans. It was currently Undyne and Gaster's turn.

"NGAAAAHHHH! I can't believe that we have to do this," she raged. She stabbed a spear in the ground. "WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE COMPLICATED?"

"You can thank Sans and Frisk for that," Gaster said. "I wonder what they did to scare them."

"This is why I should have gone with the human," Undyne exclaimed. She lifted a boulder above her head and threw it to the ground.

"I do not think that you would have helped. I think you would have scared them more."

Undyne stared at Gaster. "And WHY would you say that?"

"Well, I mean you just picked up a boulder and threw it to the ground. Now you are threatening me. Humans don't typically like that."

Undyne sighed."You're right. Besides, they were scared of Sans of all people. The guy doesn't do anything!"

There was a rustle in some nearby bushes.

Undyne summoned a spear. "Who's there," she yelled.

Asgore stepped out of the bushes with his hands raised above his head. "I am perfectly fine, Undyne. I just explained our situation and they let me go."

Undyne lowered her spear and stabbed it in the ground. "Well, why were they so scared of us?"

"Well, Sans was showing off, from what I gathered."

"Ah. I understand now," Gaster said, nodding his head.

"Oh, you came with Sans and his brother! Say, I do not mean to be rude, but who are you," Asgore asked.

Gaster sighed. "You're not being rude. I haven't reintroduced myself."

Asgore looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"

"My name is W. D. Gaster. I was the Royal Scientist responsible for creating the Core," Gaster explained.

"You created the Core," Asgore asked.

Gaster smiled warmly. "Yes. It was one of my biggest projects."

"Why don't I remember you, then," Asgore asked.

"I fell into the Core and was erased from the world."

"Oh my goodness! How horrible! Well, I am glad that you are back."

Gaster smiled. "I am too. Now I can spend time with my sons."

Asgore's smile weakened.

"Oh! I am sorry! I didn't mean to bring up terrible memories."

Asgore shook his head. "No. It's fine. At least I know my wife is alive and well, even if she hates me."

"So, are we allowed to head into the city," Gaster asked, wanting to change the subject. Both of his children were in fact still alive, but not in the way he would want to hear.

"We can leave now! They just ask that we don't use magic," Asgore explained.

"Yes! Finally, we can leave this place! I'll wake up the others," Undyne exclaimed. She ran towards the rocks.

"They've also asked for Frisk," Asgore added with a sigh. "She was apparently a runaway from a nearby orphanage. They've been looking for her for a while. It wouldn't be right to take her away."

"Toriel won't be happy," Gaster pointed out.

Asgore shook his head. "No. She won't. I can't say that any of us will be happy with the decision."

"I've asked TEN TIME SANS! GET UP," Undyne screamed.

Undyne was sent flying. A blue aura surrounded her. She landed in a patch of flowers. "HOW DARE YOU CHANGE MY GRAVITY, SANS!" She got up and marched back over to the rocks.

"It might be best just to carry him," Gaster noted.

Undyne was once again sent into the flowers.

Asgore nodded. "That would be a good idea."

The group of monsters walked through town. Asgore led the way with Toriel and Frisk directly behind him. Undyne, Alphys, Gaster, and Papyrus kept to the back while Undyne carried Sans under his arm. He was still asleep.

People gathered around the road. They stared at the monsters walking through the town. They were whispering to each other, hoping the monsters wouldn't overhear.

"What are they?"

"Monsters are real?"

"Is that guy dead?"

"Did they kidnap that child?"

All the various whispers melded together, creating a large unintelligible noise.

"So where are we going, Asgore," Undyne asked.

Asgore lowered his head. "Look at the signs."

The monsters looked around. There were posters with Frisk's face posted everywhere.

"O-oh my! You ran away," Alphys stuttered.

"We must return her," Asgore muttered.

"I-I suppose he is right," Toriel muttered. She grabbed Frisk's hand. "Time to get you home."

The monsters continued to walk. They continued to walk silently until they came upon the address listed on the posters.

"Here we are." Toriel smiled sadly at the child. "Please be good, my child." She knelt down and hugged Frisk.

Frisk hugged back. She was then released from her hug. Frisk looked at the monsters. Every monster except for Sans seemed sad to see her go. He was awake, but he already knew what he had to do.

"You better not forget," Frisk mouthed.

Sans nodded.

"I'll miss you guys," Frisk muttered. She walked inside the building.

The inside of the building looked the same as it did before Frisk left. It was an old and lived in house made of wood. There was a large room with ten children sitting and playing with various toys. They all stared at her.

Everyone seemed to be staring at Frisk.

Two teenage boys, looking to be the same age, walked up to her. Their names were James and John. Both had short black hair, had green eyes, had freckles under their eyes, and both liked to torment Frisk. They were the ones who took her to Mount Ebott in the first place.

"So, you came back," John asked. He frowned at the girl.

Frisk nodded. "I had some help." She began to back up.

"You mean those monsters standing outside," John questioned.

Frisk nodded again. She tried to walk away from the two boys, but they grabbed her arms.

"Oh, no. Don't think you're leaving THAT easily," James exclaimed.

Frisk squealed and tried to shove the boys away.

"Listen, we didn't expect you to come back. Now that you have, there's some things we have to discuss, got it?" There was venom in James' voice.

Frisk tried to struggle, but it didn't work.

"Now, you won't tell anyone about what happened on that mountain, right," John demanded.

Frisk glared at the boy.

"Come on, Frisk, you won't tell, right," James cooed.

Frisk said nothing.

"I asked a question Freak," James exclaimed. "You better answer!"

Frisk shook her head.

"You remember what happens if you refuse to listen to us, right," John asked.

Frisk's eyes filled with fear. She still stayed quiet.

James sighed. He lifted her face up. "John, you can do it this time."

John curled his hands into fists. He gave a sly smile. "Thank you."

Frisk braced for impact.

John punched Frisk in the eye. She let out a cry of pain. "Will you tell them what happened, Freak? I can do a lot worse to you than just punching you." He pulled a pocket knife from out of his pocket.

Frisk shook her head.

The boys let her go. "Remember what you just agreed to! Also, have fun trying to get adopted with that black eye of yours," James sneered. They walked away, laughing about what they did.

Frisk sat in a ball, crying. This didn't happen the last time. She cried for an hour before falling asleep.

"Frisk," a woman called. It was one of the caretakers of the orphanage. Frisk looked up at her. She blinked tears out of her eyes. "Someone's come to adopt you." The woman frowned at Frisk's eye, but didn't say anything.

Frisk smiled. "U-um… can you go get James and John for me? I want to have them send me off, if that would be okay," Frisk requested.

The woman smiled warmly at her. "Of course." The woman walked away.

Frisk walked into the next room. Toriel sat in a chair. She was filling out some paperwork and hadn't seen Frisk. Sans was also there, looking over the stack of papers and helping her fill them out.

The woman came back with James and John. "Frisk, I brought them," she chimed. "Now I've got to take care of other business, bye Frisk!" The woman walked out of the room.

James and John were staring at her. Frisk smirked. "Hey guys, I wanted you guys to see me off," Frisk explained.

"How did you get adopted," James demanded.

Toriel smiled, but still looked at the papers. "Hello my child! Sans informed me that you wanted me to adopt you, so here I am!"

"yup. i kept my promise." He stood up and walked towards Frisk. He stopped. "hey, what's wrong with your eye?"

Toriel looked at Frisk. "My child, what happened? We did not leave you for long!" She set the papers in a chair and ran towards Frisk, wrapping her arms around Frisk.

Frisk looked towards the direction of the two boys. "Why don't you ask them?

"oh." Sans walked closer to them. The white dots in his eye sockets vanished. "so tell me, what happened to her eye?"

"W-we were playing around and she tripped," James insisted.

"that's a lie, isn't it?"

The boys froze in place.

A blue glow shined in Sans' left eye.

"you did something to her, right?"

The boys shook their heads.

Sans and Toriel shot them a menacing gaze before looking back to Frisk. The pupils in Sans' eye reappeared.

"you guys are lucky that i don't make it a habit of fighting children," Sans said, shrugging. "otherwise, you little punks..." He looked to face the two boys. The pupils faded into the darkness. "YOU'D HAVE A REALLY BAD TIME," Sans threatened.

The boy shrieked.

"now apologise to frisk," Sans demanded. A blue glow shined in his left eye.

The children shyly approached Frisk. "W-we're sorry," they cried. They fled the room.

Sans rubbed Frisk's head. The glow vanished and the white pupils came back. "if i had known how bad it was here, i'd have told her sooner."

"Oh yes Frisk, and I would have come here in a heartbeat! Even if they wouldn't let me adopt you, I'd protect you," Toriel insisted. She squeezed the child tighter, but not too tight.

"I know you would," Frisk muttered.

Frisk, Toriel, and Sans walked out of the building. Monsters stood outside, waiting for Frisk to leave. Each one of them noticed the black eye on sight.

"Hey Frisk, what happened to your eye," Undyne asked in a strained voice.

"some kids had a problem with frisk," Sans growled. He looked at the building. The two boys were staring at them through the window. "in fact, it was those two."

Undyne summoned a spear and looked at the boys.

"Undyne, don't kill them," Frisk requested.

Undyne glared at James and John. She drew her finger across her neck.

The boys screamed and ran from the window.

They turned to Frisk. "If anyone tries to hurt my bestie, I'll make sure they pay," Undyne yelled.

"Just don't kill anyone, Undyne," Frisk requested.

"Well, okay. For you Frisk."

Frisk smiled. "So where are we going now?"

Toriel hugged Frisk. "We're going home. The city was kind enough to provide us with a large house!" She pointed to a house in the distance. "We'll all share the house since there seems to be an abundance of rooms."

Asgore chuckled a little. "I think there may be more rooms than there are of us."

"We're all sharing a house? Wowie! Now you get to eat my home cooked meals every day," Papyrus exclaimed. He hugged everyone. "This is going to be great!"

Frisk smiled. "It sure is Papyrus."

Okay, you do not know what the struggle for this chapter was. So I made this earlier and posted it earlier. It was mostly like this. I discovered that it didn't say that it updated, so I deleted it and tried to post it again. In a moment of stupidity, I deleted the document (Because I write here and Google Docs.). So, I started to redo most of this when I went back to Google Docs. I figured out how to see what revisions I made. Heh heh... at least I know for the future. I did however, make a couple of changes. Don't worry. I revised it a little more than normal.

Anyway, backstory that won't be said by any of the characters(To avoid turning Frisk or any other minor human into a Mary-Sue/Gary-Sue): Frisk is an orphan from Ebott. She was being bullied by the two teens seen through this chapter. Obviously, they were trying to get rid of her. Why? To have a better chance of getting adopted. Frisk is a kind girl who's still under the age of 13. She would have a better chance of getting a home. No, they were not thinking that it would kill her. They just wanted her to leave. Their intention was not murder. Know that, okay?

Anyway, I added some parental Sans! Hope I actually did that well and it didn't seem like I was shipping them.

Well, hope you liked it! Bye guys!
