Chara growled as she stepped through the front door. She dropped her book bag to the side and sat in a nearby chair. "That teacher!"

Toriel walked through the door as she held Asriel and Frisk's hands. "Yes, I know. I cannot believe he suspended you from school for sticking up for your friend. I will be having a talk with your principal." She rubbed her eyebrows in a tired manner. "How has he not been fired yet? He is literally one of the rudest men I have had the displeasure of meeting."

"He called Kid 'Monster' even though he asked to be called Kid," Frisk exclaimed. She crossed her arms and sat down on the couch forcefully.

The phone began to ring. The shrill noise it made echoed through the living room. Asriel quickly rushed to the phone and grabbed it. He gingerly placed the phone near his ear. "Hello?"

"Oh! Why good evening Asriel. Is the queen there? I need to talk to her," Mettaton insisted over the phone.

Asriel covered the phone with his hand and turned to Toriel. "Mom, Mettaton wants to talk to you!"

Toriel nodded and made her way over to the phone. She took the phone from Asriel and placed it near her ear. "Yes? You wanted to talk to me?"

"Ah Queen Toriel! I have a favor to ask of you. We- meaning me and a few others, need a place to stay, just for a little while." Mettaton's voice sounded dire and slightly panicked.

"What does he want?," Frisk asked curiously.

Toriel held the phone to her chest. "He wants to stay here for a little while. I thought he had a place to stay, so this is quite surprising." Toriel frowned and placed the phone on her ear. "Of course you can stay, but what is the reason?"

"Turn on the news for a moment. There you'll see the reason."

Toriel set the phone down and walked over to the tv. She turned it on and set it to the local news channel.

"Ghosts are to blame for the string of disappearances of various monsters in the local area, including Napstablook, a ghost who typically helps Mettaton film. If you see a ghost monster, you are to report them to the authorities right away." Pictures of missing monsters were shown on the screen; including Aaron, a froggit, Doggo, Bob, and Dogamy.

"So as you can see, I can't just go back to my home knowing my beloved cameraman is out there trying to evade capture."

Toriel, Chara, Frisk, and Asriel stared at the screen in shock. Frisk took the phone from Toriel and held it to her head. "What happened?"

"Frisk darling, I wish I knew," Mettaton insisted. He sighed. "The only thing we know is that the missing monsters turned a strange blue color and walked away. People claim ghostly possession, but there is no way Blooky or their family would ever possess a monster, nor could possess a monster's body."

Frisk frowned. "Then maybe a human ghost is possessing these monsters," Frisk suggested.

"Maybe. We'll talk about this a little more later once I get there. Thank you for your support. Tell this to Toriel too. Goodbye for now." The line clicked after Mettaton uttered the goodbye.

Frisk set down the phone and turned to her impatiently awaiting family. "All the monster ghosts are being framed because according to Mettaton, monster ghosts can't possess monsters."

Chara crossed her arms and furrowed her brow as she thought. "I somehow don't think it was a human ghost, but I don't know what else to think at this point."

Frisk and Asriel frowned. "You would certainly know the most about ghostly possession, so we might have to figure something else out and do our own investigation."

Toriel smiled and rubbed each child's head affectionately. "I know you can do it. I'll go call the others to make sure they know what's going on with Mettaton. I wouldn't want anyone kicking him and Napstablook out of the house." Toriel took out her cellphone and walked into the kitchen. She closed the door for some extra privacy.

"Blooky we did it," Mettaton cheered. He grinned at the shy ghost. "I found a place to stay; one that doesn't mind ghosts, in fact."

Napstablook smiled shyly. "really? they won't try to report me, will they?"

"Of course not Napstablook! In fact, I think they will try to clear your name and find the real culprits." Mettaton began to pack a suitcase for him and Napstablook. He placed a couple of music tapes into the suitcase as well as a tablet.

"wow. these people sure are nice."

Mettaton closed the suitcase and picked it up off the ground. "We'd better get a move on before someone here calls the police." Mettaton started to roll out of the building.

Napstablook nodded and followed closely behind Mettaton. "thank you again, mettaton," Napstablook quietly murmured.

And done! So uh... I'm hopefully getting my school-issued laptop today so that hopefully means more uploads. Reguarding a couple of guests reviews, I do not have an uupload schedule. I just sorta finish the chapters and upload them. I used to do everyday updates, but I have had things to work on and it didn't allow me to draw much or play video games. :P

Anyway, thank you for reading this. Bye guys!
