"welp, she's not coming," Sans announced as he walked down the stairs. Chara was still in her rant about the new adaptation being worse that the old. Alphys joined the discussion as well.

"I-I know right? The remakes are like never as good as the original," Alphys complained. She was currently writing in a sheet of paper. The names 'Toriel', and 'Asgore' came up frequently. Once Alphys noticed Sans' curious gaze, she quickly turned the paper over. Alphys' face turned bright red.

Sans simply shrugged and walked back into the kitchen. He cut into the quiche and grinned. "thing's done cooling." Several plates floated to the counter. One-by-one, Sans placed a slice of quiche and a fork on each plate. He floated each plate to individual people and placed one plate in the refrigerator. "alright, dig in." Sans grabbed his plate and made his way to the couch.

Chara and Asriel stared at the egg pie curiously before breaking a small portion off. Asriel took a bite and grinned. He leaned into Chara's ear. "It's edible," he whispered. Chara took a bite and smiled.

"So he's a better cook than his brother," Chara whispered back.

Seeing that Chara and Asriel willingly ate the quiche, everyone else joined in. Edible food from one of the two brothers was a shock.

Sans chuckled. "how is it everybody?"

"It is unlike anything I thought you could cook," Asgore admitted. He took a bite of the egg pie. "How did you learn to make this, if you do not mind my asking?"

Sans chuckled a bit. "found a recipe book in snowdin and worked from there," Sans answered. He took a bite of the quiche and glanced around at the others.

Papyrus poked at the quiche. "Seems a little greasy," Papyrus groaned quietly. He took a bite begrudgingly and sighed. "It's a little greasy, but I suppose it's less greasy than the food you got from Grillbys."

Sans grinned. "then i made it right."

Undyne flashed a toothy grin and shoved her fist high into the air. "Alright!" She took a bite of the quiche and gave a thumbs-up. "Sans! How'd you know that I loved grease? I thought you didn't care to remember!"

Sans shrugged. "well, turns out that i do."

Undyne smiled at the food and pet the plate lovingly. "Grease I… I want you in all of my food."

Papyrus inaudibly gagged, but smiled at Undyne. "Hehe… yeah! I erm… meant to say that I love grease." Papyrus winched. "And that I want it in everything I eat."

Undyne chortled loudly. "Papyrus, you goof! You don't have to like grease, just because I do!"

Papyrus blinked his eye sockets. "Really?"

"You think I don't notice you grimace about grease, bust then change your answer when I mention my love of the stuff?"

"Er… I didn't think you noticed," Papyrus admitted.

Undyne sighed and gave a slight chuckle. "Look Papyrus, unlike your brother and his weird… 'Sans secrets'," she furrowed her brow at the skeleton.

Sans gave a cheeky grin. "yup. i got my mysteries."

Undyne frowned. "Yeah… secrets…, anyway, unlike your brother, you don't keep secrets well." She grinned and pointed to herself. "Especially from me! Like how you befriended Frisk instead of trying to kill her. Meanwhile, I didn't know Sans even knew Asgore, but apparently, he was the judge!"

"You didn't tell them prior to coming here?" Asgore stuffed a bite of pie into his mouth. "Why?"

Sans shrugged. "not really the job to brag about. there's only one judge yes, but uh… that would ruin my lazy charm and laid-back attitude," he explained.

Frisk, Asriel, and Chara glanced at the skeleton and gulped. "Yup, charm."

"hey hey, that stuff's in the past kiddos," Sans insisted. "otherwise i wouldn't be givin ya egg pie now. you weren't acting right because of some strange circumstance. i ain't gonna fault you guys for that." Sans momentarily glared at the ceiling then focused his gaze on the children once again.

Chara sighed. "I'm sorry everyone, for anything I've done to you." She shifted uncomfortably. "I was a brat and I hurt you guys badly." She crossed her arms and frowned. "There," she muttered silently. "I said it."

Smiles appeared on Toriel's, Asriel's, and Frisk's faces. "Yay," Frisk cheered.

"Thank you, my child," Toriel thanked.

Chara hid her face. "Don't make a big deal about it!" She sighed and uncovered her face. "I've been a jerk, and seeing what's happened in the last few days, I don't wanna be the person who hurt you guys. You've show that you care, and I've seen what happens if just one person were to leave." Chara was wrapped in a big hug formed of Toriel, Asriel, Frisk, Asgore, and Papyrus. "It's true, lots of things have happened since then," Frisk admitted.

"Even if it has just been a couple of weeks," Papyrus added. "But everything is fine now, I'm sure of it."

Chara smiled. "Yeah. Thank you, everyone.

A figure in black sighed as a flash of light passed by. "Stupid blasters," Gilda groaned. She jumped over a wall and hid behind it. "I have to get closer." The figure looked around. Words echoed off the roof of the cave. "You really hate me that much," she asked. Gilda's frown was seen from the cloak. "Your words mean nothing, and that's all you can provide."

An arm shot from the cloak and pointed towards the sky. Black goo-like sludge oozed its way through the cave and through a crack. "Try warning them now. Though you've had the power of limited words til now, that power is gone. The barrier between worlds have been sealed." Gilda smirked And lifted her hood. " And there's nothing you can do about it," she taunted.

And done! So… I'm sorry about not updating for a couple of weeks. I haven't really had the time nor the tech to work on this, as school started back up for me. Then there's the fact that my laptop's hinge broke, so it's no longer mobile. Anyway, do hope you liked this chapter! Bye guys!
