"So, is everybody ready for beings like me to begin to ask questions," the voice asked.
Chara crossed her arms. "This is stupid, and you know it's stupid."
"Look Chara, these people have been really positive. You will respond to what I ask you, and you will do what I tell you to." The voice sounded annoyed.
Chara raised an eyebrow. "Or what, ceiling voice?"
"Do you not realize that I have more power than you could ever imagine? I could remove you from existence, much like what happened to Gaster, only this time more permanent."
Gaster winced.
"Er... sorry Gaster, but I can still cause you a lot of suffering."
Chara glared at the ceiling and pouted. "Fine. Ask what you want."
"That's better," the voice cheered. "So as I said before, Gaster actually got the first question/statement thing, even before I told the others that this would happen."
"How does that work," Gaster asked. "I mean, what's with the fixation on me?"
A ripple of static leapt from the ceiling onto the floor. A bright light flashed, causing everyone to shield their eyes. Once the light faded, a girl in her teen years appeared. She had long and curly brown hair that went past her shoulders, brown eyes, and thin eyebrows. She wore a pink t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Her feet were covered with penguin slippers.
"Who are you," the group questioned.
"Me," the girl asked. "Why, I'm the Author! I was tired of being called the ceiling." She pulled out some index cards from her back pocket. "So, first statement type thing's for Gaster." She looked down at the notecard. She quickly took out a phone and began to play a song that was a mix of "Megalovania" and "Hopes and Dreams."
Asriel and Sans eyes narrowed, as if to ask why one of their favorite songs were being played.
The Author glanced at them and held up her hands defensively. "Look, I was given specific instructions. 'Megalovania' and 'Hopes and Dreams' needs to play in the background. Anyway..." She glanced at the card again. "Gaster, you've got some explaining to do." She waved her hand. A person appeared. "Meet Arthur. He wanted to ask you something."
Gaster looked towards the new face. He smiled warmly. "Yes? What can I explain? Perhaps you want to know something related to my work."
Arthur shook his head. "Gaster, why did you torture me, my brother, Sans, and Papyrus in my universe," Arthur asked. His eyes flashed a crimson blue color as chain daggers appeared behind him. "Answer my question," Arthur snarled.
Gaster flinched at the sudden hostility of the new person. "Th-that's ridiculous," he sputtered. "I would never attack my sons, and are you truly blaming me for something a different W.D. Gaster did?" Gaster sighed. "I'm sorry for whatever I did in your universe, but here, I would never do anything like that." He glanced at the weapons behind Arthur. "You're a human, correct? Why do you use magic, and why is it so similar to Sans and Papyrus' magic?"
"It's because of you. You forced me to learn this."
"I'm sorry. I am truly sorry." He signed out a phrase, out of nervousness. "Although that doesn't much matter at this point, does it?"
Arthur sighed. "As long as you don't become like my Gaster... you're okay. I'll be watching you carefully." He turned to the Author. "Well, it's been a pleasure to be here."
"All you did was yell at Dad though," Papyrus pointed out. "You didn't even get to eat the Great Papyrus' famous dish!"
Arthur waved to the monsters. "Goodbye everyone!" He shot a glare at Gaster. "Don't forget," he mouthed. Arthur vanished into thin air.
Gaster let out a sigh of relief. "That was certainly stressful. I do hope that he finds happiness in his universe, however."
The Author turned off the music and threw an index card to the ground. It caught on fire and burned into nothing but ash. It didn't scorch the floors, however. "Time for the next question!" She looked over an index card. "This one's for Chara. First off, this person wants to know what your favorite hobby is now that you've gotten your body back."
"Well," Chara started.
"I. Wasn't. Done." The Author glared at Chara. "Stabbing things, people, and monsters do not count for a hobby."
Chara frowned and crossed her arms. "Wow. Now that's a little presumptuous. I haven't even been allowed NEAR a knife. What makes you think that I could stab something?" Chara sighed. "Whatever. I guess my favorite hobby would be tormenting others and eating chocolate."
"This person also wants to give everyone a hug!" The Author smiled. "I've got no problems with that."
Before anyone could protest, the Author waved her hand. A person appeared. "The person who asked goes by the name Ed's. Curious. Kitten., by the way."
The person began to hug each and every monster. They grinned at Chara. "I was really worried that you were going to try and stab that bully, but you didn't! I'm so proud of you!"
Toriel seemed alarmed. "What bully?"
"yeah. you never told me that," Sans said.
"We'll tell you later," Frisk insisted.
"Heh. Oops!" The person gave Chara a quick hug. "I hope you guys have an awesome day!" They waved at the group, staring at Chara. "Bye!"
The Author smiled and waved her hand. The person disappeared. She threw an index card to the ground. It caught on fire and burned to ash. "This next question is for everyone." She grimaced as she read the card. "Oh..."
What's wrong," Toriel asked.
"I forgot about Temmie." She quickly turned to the monsters. "So you know how there's a group of weird cat things, right?"
Undyne nodded. "Yeah. Temmies are weird."
"Well, there was this Temmie living in the Underground who was watching a hard boiled egg hatch. This person, who goes by CapeCrusade, wants to know if she's still down there. I don't know if she is..."
Sans sighed. "i'll get the temmie."
Frisk shook her head. "No. I did tell the Temmie that the egg was hard boiled." Frisk sighed. "It took an hour to explain, but she finally got the point. It was kind of heart breaking to see. Luckily, she got distracted from that fact when I fed her some Temmie Flakes."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. The Author threw the note to the ground. "Okay. This next question's for Chara. Boy, you sure are popular today, huh?"
Chara rolled her eyes. "What's the question."
"imsoepic985 wants to know what your urge to stab things is, on a scale of 1 to 10."
Chara's shrugged. "Well, I mean, it all depends. Most of the time, it's just sorta like a three, but when someone I don't like is nearby, it bumps up to at least a five. Right now, I guess would be a seven." She glanced around the room. "Specifically, I want to stab Gaster, Sans, and this Author lady." She set her hand on her chin and pondered for a second. "Hey, do you think that the Arthur guy from earlier would be interested in helping me kill Gaster?"
Gaster and Sans shuffled away from the murderous child.
Toriel quietly snuck away from the group and walked into the kitchen. She began to hide every knife in the kitchen and put a lock on the drawer she set them in.
The Author gave an awkward laugh. She threw the card to the ground. "Well... that was... something." The card caught on fire and burned away.
Chara shrugged. "They asked a question. Who am I to deny the answer?"
"Chara? Why are they talking about you trying to kill people, specifically stabbing people," Asgore asked.
"well asgore, the kid here's not the best child. she tried to kill me and many other people," Sans explained.
"Oh." Asgore glanced at the ground. "I suppose that's why you laughed when I got sick. I just thought that was your way of coping."
"I was trying to get to the surface so I could help the monsters." Chara sighed. "After I died, that determination I had just sorta warped into wanting to kill everyone."
"Let's just get to the next question, shall we," the Author exclaimed. "AllergyRelief wants to know where the Annoying Dog is."
Papyrus groaned and glanced towards a closed door. "Well, I found him one day inside my room. So, I brought the dog downstairs and locked him in the garage."
Frisk's eyes lit up. "We've got a dog?"
Papyrus frowned. "No! I put him there so that he wouldn't steal my attacks!"
"Do you feed him," Asriel asked.
Papyrus scoffed. "Of course I do! I am very responsible, after all!"
There was a whining sound from behind the door. Suddenly, the dog was right next to Papyrus. He jumped up and knocked Papyrus down to the ground. He licked Papyrus' face.
"H-How did he escape," Papyrus asked, baffled by the dog's sudden appearance.
"Well, the Annoying Dog is a very strange creature. Plus, he did absorb an artifact," the Author offered.
The Annoying Dog ran out of the house, feeling very proud of himself.
Papyrus sighed. "He's gone now." He got back up and dusted himself off.
The Author dropped the index card on the ground. She glanced at a new card. "This person, Guest, wants to know why Papyrus hates puns." The Author gave a sly grin. "So, tell us why they rib you the wrong way. Tell us why they don't tickle your funnybone!" She chuckled. "I'm a terrible person."
Sans and Toriel laughed along, while Papyrus screamed.
"You want to know why," Papyrus asked with a strained voice. "I don't like puns because they're a terrible form of jokes! Perhaps it doesn't help that my brother is constantly making puns!"
"aw, papyrus, i know you don't like puns, but please don't skulk." Sans grinned.
The Author chuckled and threw the card to the ground. "I do love puns." The card burst on fire and burned to ash.
"Brother! You are causing these beings from other dimensions to become more like you!"
The Author shrugged. "I'm sure that someone's picked up a knack for puns because of him, but I'm always liked puns. Anyway, it's time for one more question!" The Author looked at the last card. "Chara, this is for you." Her eyes narrowed. "Most of these were for you."
"how is murder kid so popular?"
Chara shrugged.
"They probably just want to check up on you! We are all concerned about you," Papyrus exclaimed.
Chara sighed. "What's the question?"
"Eh. It's more like a statement. Goldentrap yelled,'TAKE THIS!'," the Author exclaimed. She waved her hand and a portal appeared. Several bars of chocolate rushed out of the portal. Chocolate bars covered the area.
Chara's eyes widened. "What?" Chara grinned. "Is this... chocolate? Thank you mysterious person!"
Toriel groaned. "You aren't eating all of this at one time. You'll get a tummyache."
"This person wanted to send you a lifetime supply of chocolate. Unfortunately, that number is relative... so there's a lot of chocolate, but it probably won't last a lifetime. Good luck trying to find a place to put all of this," the Author muttered. She threw the card to the ground. "Well, that's all the questions I got time to ask. My form here will be vanishing soon. It was nice to see you guys." The Author smiled. Her form shimmered with a golden glow. She waved at the group. "Bye!"
The monsters and the two humans waved back.
The Author's form disappeared, leaving only golden residue behind.
The monsters and the humans breathed a sigh of relief. Chara sighed.
"Man. I was hoping to get some help defeating Gaster. Oh well." She grinned. "I got some chocolate!"
Toriel awkwardly chuckled. "My child, please don't threaten people."
"Why not? You always give Dad this hateful glare."
Toriel froze. "Uh."
Asgore sighed. "No Chara. It is fine. Toriel does not care for me, but at least my family is alive." Asgore smiled.
"Besides Chara, what makes you think that I couldn't have beaten both you and this Arthur fellow? I get that he uses magic, but void magic is very different. Not to mention... I don't just have 1 hp, so you would need quite a few hits to beat me."
Chara sighed and picked up a bar of chocolate. She unwrapped the bar and began to eat it. "Why can't I win?"
And done! Someone thought that this was the end. No. This is just a special chapter thing. I do hope you liked it. Chara sure did get a lot of questions, not that I'm complaining. I didn't have to type anything that I didn't want to.
Anyway, I thank you all so much for the continued support! Bye guys! :D
