Tiny bit of explanation about this beginning part to the chapter is the second part is every other line is Nora. Sorry this took so long to come out ^_^" hope you enjoy. Thank you everyone who reviews, follows and favorites.
I want you to know how glad I am to have someone here.
Anyways, you're a human, right? That's hilarious.
NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!
Human… it was nice to meet you… Goodbye…
Don't you realize that being nice … just makes you get hurt?
In this world it's kill or be killed.
This is all just a bad dream… and you're never waking up.
…
Y….You really hate me that much?
No…
Now I see who I was protecting by keeping you here. Not you… But them! Ha… Ha-…
N-no….I didn't mean to…
ST…STILL! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
S-Stop! Don't make me-! I-I don't want to-!
You're gunna have to try a little harder than THAT!
Stop...
G…Guess she should have worked more on the defenses…
Stop please
Dirty brother killer…
No! Not him!
Now, now, there's no need to fight. Why not settle this over a nice cup of tea?
Stop! Stop it, please!
Hahaha! You're not really human, are you? No. You're empty inside. Just like me.
No!
Hahaha!
Stop!
HAHAHA!
Shut up!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
…
"Nora! Wake up!" Kaden shouted as he shook her shoulders. Nora gasped as her eyes flew open and her hand flew to grab at her chest as she tried to catch her breath. "Nora?" Kaden looked at her with wide eyes. Nora turned her head to see him as well as Sans and Papyrus. The three of them wore matching expressions. Nora blinked and fat tears rolled down her cheeks.
"ARE YOU OKAY?" Papyrus asked.
"This was a bad one, huh?" Sans asked. Nora nodded silently as she wiped away her tears.
"I FORGOT TO GIVE YOU THE BEAR!" Papyrus popped up and ran to his closet before coming back with his old bear. He handed it to her and Nora smiled weakly.
"Thanks Pap…" she said.
"You've been having nightmares?" Kaden asked with a deep frown. Nora nodded. "When did this start?"
"Ever since… I fell…" Nora said.
"I've been fine…" Kaden said.
"DO YOU WANT ME TO STAY WITH YOU?"
"I-I'll be fine…" Nora said reluctantly.
"Nor, you don't have to act tough just cause I'm here." Kaden said. Nora's lip quivered and nodded at Papyrus. He smiled.
"I guess I'll go sleep on the couch." Kaden said as he got up.
"Take my bed." Sans said. "I'll sleep on the couch, you're the guest."
"You sure?" Kaden asked.
"Yep." Sans nodded. "I'll show you." He motioned for Kaden to follow him as he headed for the door. "Be right back." He said to Nora and Papyrus. The two left and Papyrus got into his bed beside Nora.
"I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, SHALL KEEP YOU SAFE. YOU'LL HAVE NO REASON TO HAVE ANY NIGHT TERRORS!"
"Thanks Pap." Nora said. A few moments later Sans came back.
"Alright." He said as he picked up Papyrus' storybook.
"Sans? Um…" Nora started.
"What's wrong?"
"I-I feel bad that you have to sleep on the couch-"
"It's fine."
"I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA! THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM HERE, SANS, WHY DON'T YOU STAY WITH US?" Papyrus asked before giving Nora a small wink. She gave him a grateful smile for asking what she couldn't.
"Huh?" Sans blinked. "Uh...t-that's okay. I'll be fine."
"P-please, Sans?" Nora asked quietly. Sans blinked again and Nora could've sworn she saw his cheeks turn a light blue.
"Uh a-alright. If you're okay with it." He said. Nora smiled and he hid his face in the storybook.
When Sans awoke the next morning, Papyrus was gone and Nora was still asleep. In his sleep Sans had pulled her closer and her head was tucked under his chin as she held Papyrus' bear to her chest. Sans smiled at the peaceful expression she had and couldn't stop himself from moving a strand of hair out of her face.
"Ahem." Sans' eyes widened and he looked over at the door to see Kaden standing there with his arms crossed.
"I-I-I-"
"Relax, don't get so rattled." Kaden said quietly. "We are gunna talk later."
"A-about what?" Sans asked. Kaden gave the skeleton a look before leaving. Sans let out a sigh. Nora shifted slightly and Sans quick pretended he was still asleep. She moved a bit more and when she opened her eyes she couldn't help but smile. Sans felt her getting up but then she stopped. He was about to peek but suddenly felt soft lips touch his forehead. He cursed mentally when he felt the heat come to his cheekbones and Nora chuckled.
"I know you're awake, Sans." She said. Sans hesitated but opened his eyes and looked up at her with a slight smirk.
"Heh, ya caught me."
"Papyrus is gunna get upset if you don't get to work. You're already late."
"I didn't want to wake you. He'd understand."
"Thanks." Nora said with a smile.
"Heh, no problem."
Nora looked up from a paper with directions drawn on it – Papyrus had left for her on the kitchen that morning – to see Papyrus standing in front of a house that looked like a fish.
"OHO! YOU'VE ARRIVED! ARE YOU READY TO HANG OUT WITH UNDYNE? I HAVE A PLAN TO MAKE YOU TWO GREAT FRIENDS!"
"Alright… but I don't think this is a good idea."
"OKAY! STAND BEHIND ME!" Papyrus turned to Undyne's door. "PSST." Papyrus turned his head. "MAKE SURE TO GIVE HER THIS!" he held up a wrapped bone with a bow. "SHE LOVES THESE!" Papyrus knocked and the mouth door opened.
"Hi, Papyrus! Ready for your extra-private, one-on-one training?" Undyne asked.
"YOU BET I AM! AND I BROUGHT A FRIEND!" Papyrus stepped to the side and Nora felt her heart stop.
"Hi, I don't think we've…" Undyne stopped. She glanced over at Papyrus. "Why don't. You two. Come in?" she said through her teeth before going back inside. Papyrus jumped around before following her.
"Oh boy…" Nora followed after. The house was surprisingly normal despite looking like a larger version of Undyne's head. Nora had only taken a quick glance when she and Sans had left the other day.
"HERE, UNDYNE, NORA BROUGHT A GIFT FOR YOU, ON HER OWN." Papyrus held out the wrapped bone.
"Uhhh, thanks…." Undyne took it from him. "I'll, uh, put it with the others." She opened a long drawer full of similar wrapped bones. Nora raised an eyebrow and looked up at Papyrus. "So are we ready to start?"
"WHOOPSY DOOPSY! I JUST REMEMBERED! I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM! YOU TWO HAVE FUN!" Papyrus said before he proceeded to jump out the nearby window. Nora's mouth fell open and she stared at the broken window. She gulped and turned back to Undyne who was looking at her.
"So why are YOU here? To rub your victory in my face? To humiliate me even further? IS THAT IT?"
"Wh-what? No!" Nora shook her head. "What victory? I ran away."
"Then why are you here?" Undyne asked before her eyes widened. "Wait! I get it. You think that I'm gunna be friends with you, huh? Right?"
"Um… well I mean, it wouldn't hurt…"
"Really? How delightful! I accept!" Undyne said. Nora raised an eyebrow. "Let's all frolick in the fields of friendship!" Nora sighed. "…NOT! Why would I EVER be friends with YOU!? If you weren't my houseguest, I'd best you up right now! You're the enemy of everyone's hopes and dreams! I WILL NEVER BE YOUR FRIEND. Now get out of my house."
"Nice talking with you." Nora said before turning around. Before she could open the door Papyrus was speaking in the window.
"DANG! WHAT A SHAME…" The two women turned to look at him. "I THOUGHT UNDYNE COULD BE FRIEND WITH YOU. BUT I GUESS… I OVERESTIMATED HER. SHE'S JUST NOT UP TO THE CHALLENGE!" he said before running off.
"Why did you have to phrase it like that?" Nora muttered putting a hand over her eyes.
"CHALLENGE!? What!? Papyrus! Wait a second…! Darnit!" Undyne turned to Nora. "He thinks I can't be friends with YOU!? Fuhuhu! What a joke! I could make friends with a wimpy loser like you any day! I'll show him! Listen up human-"
"Stop right there." Nora held up a hand and Undyne frowned. "If you're going to try and 'be my friend'" she used air quotes, "Just to prove him wrong, I'm leaving." Undyne blinked. "You'd be doing it to prove him wrong more so than doing it to actually make an attempt at being my friend."
"Nonsense! I could be friends with you even if he hadn't said anything."
"You just said you would never be my friend." Nora pointed out. Undyne frowned as Nora crossed her arms. "You can't be friends with me if you don't really want to."
"Well I'll just prove YOU wrong!" Undyne said. "And we're not just going to be friends, we're going to be… BESTIES." She put on a big, obviously fake smile. "Why don't you have a seat?" Nora sighed and shook her head but sat down at the table. "Comfortable? I'll get you something to drink." Undyne went to her fridge and took out a few boxes of tea, some hot coco mix, a soda and sugar. "All set. What would you like?" Nora turned in her seat and Undyne threw a spear at her table making it break in half. "HEY! DON'T GET UP! YOU'RE THE GUEST! SIT DOWN AND ENJOY YOURSELF!"
"Jeez!" Nora turned back to the table.
"Um, why not just point to what you want?" Undyne smiled. "You can use the spear!"
"I can touch this this?" Nora stared at it. "It's not gunna burn me or something?"
"Huh? Why would it do that?"
"Oh I don't know because you want to kill me?" Nora asked tilted her head. Undyne rolled her eye.
"Just pick it up! I touched it and it didn't burn me!"
"You made it! Like outta thin air!"
"Just pick it up!" Undyne shouted. Nora reached over and picked it up. Surprisingly it was extremely light and only felt a little warm from the magic in which it was created. "There, see?! You're fine!" Nora frowned and pointed to the tea boxes.
"… tea, huh? Coming right up!" Undyne went over and grabbed a tea bag, kettle and put it on the stove. "It'll take a moment for the water to boil." She turned back to the stove. A few moments later steam started coming out of the top of the kettle and it whistled. "Okay, it's all done!" she got a teacup from the sink, put sugar in it then the water and brought it over. "Here we are." Undyne sat down on the other side of the table. "Careful, it's hot." Nora touched the cup gently and it burned her finger. "It's not THAT hot! Just drink it already!"
"It is too hot! I can't even pick it up." Nora said.
"Stop being such a whimp!"
"I'm not! It's too hot to drink!"
"Just drink it!"
"Fine!" Nora leaned over and took a sip of the tea. It burned her tongue and through but was actually pretty tasty.
"It's pretty good right? Nothing but the best for my ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS FRIEND!"
"Thanks…"
"Hey… you know… it's kind of strange you chose THAT tea." Nora frowned.
"How so?"
"It's Golden Flower Tea. That's Asgore's favorite kind. Actually, now that I think about it... you kind of remind me of him."
"Is that a good thing?" Nora asked Undyne nodded with a smirk.
"You're both TOTAL weenies!... sort of."
"You just called your king a…weenie…"
"Y'know, I was a pretty hotheaded kid."
"I can imagine." Nora said with a nod.
"Once, to prove I was the strongest, I tried fight Asgore. Emphasis on TRIED."
"Didn't turn out too well?" Nora asked. Undyne shook her head.
"I couldn't land a single blow on him!"
"Well, I mean he is the king so he's gotta be strong right?"
"And worse, the whole time, he refused to fight back! I was so humiliated… Afterwards, he apologized and said something goofy… ' excuse me, do you want to know how to beat me?' I said yes, and from then on, he trained me. One day, during practice, I finally knocked him down." Nora's eyebrows went up. I felt… bad. But he was beaming… I had never seen someone more proud to get their butt kicked. Anyway, long story short, he kept training me… and now I'm the head of the Royal Guard! So I'm the one who gets to train dorks to fight… like, uh, Papyrus." Nora chuckled. "But, um, to be honest…I don't know if…I can ever let Papyrus into the Royal Guard. Don't tell him I said that!" Nora made a 'zipping' motion over her lips and Undyne smiled. "He's just… well… I mean, it's not that he's weak. He's actually pretty freaking tough. It's just that… he's…"
"He's too nice and innocent."
"Exactly! I mean, look, he as SUPPOSED to capture you…and he ended up being FRIENDS with you instead! I could NEVER send him into battle! He'd get ripped into little smiling shreds. That's part of why, I started teaching him how to cook, you know? So, um, maybe he can do something else with his life." Undyne's eyebrows shot up. "Oh, sorry, I was talking for so long… you're out of tea, aren't you? I'll get you some more." Undyne stood and walked to the stove.
"Huh? Oh that's okay. Thanks though." Nora said. Undyne turned around.
"Wait a second. Papyrus… his cooking lesson… HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW! And if HE'S not here to have it…"
"Oh no…."
"YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE IT FOR HIM!" She jumped up and landed on the counter before knocking everything off it as she ran across. Nora stared with her eyes wide and mouth open. "That's right! NOTHING has brought Papyrus and I closer than cooking! Which means that if I give you his lesson, WE'LL BECOME CLOSE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!"
"Oh dear…"
"Fuhuhu! Afraid!? We're gunna be best friends!" Undyne shouted before she jumped over, picked Nora up by the back of her shirt and jumped back in front of the counter. Nora stared up at Undyne with wide eyes. "Let's start with the sauce!" Undyne stomped her foot down and ingredients fell from the ceiling.
"The hell did those come from!?"
"Envision these vegetables as your greatest enemy! Now! Pound them to dust with your fists!" Undyne shouted. Nora blinked and punched one of the tomatoes knocking it over. "YEAH! YEAH! Our hearts are uniting against these healthy ingredients!" Nora looked up at Undyne with a 'the hell are you talking about now' look. "NOW IT'S MY TURN! NGAHH!" Undyne smashed the vegetables which splattered against both the woman's faces making Nora yelp in surprise. "Uhh, we'll just scrape this into a bowl later. But for NOW!" she stomped the floor again and a pot of water as well as a box of spaghetti fell onto the stove.
"I'd love to see you bake something…" Nora muttered. "It'd be like Mett's cooking show…"
"…we add the noodles! Homemade noodles are the best!" Nora picked up the box of store brand spaghetti and looked at Undyne. "BUT I JUST BY STORE-BRAND. THEY'RE THE CHEAPEST! NGAHHHHHHH!"
"True, good point." Nora said with a nod.
"Uhh, just put them in the pot." Nora emptied the box into the pot. "Alright! Now it's time to stir the pasta! As a general rule of thumb, the more you stir… THE BETTER IT IS! Ready? Let's do it!"
"Uh…" Nora started to sir the pasta. "We didn't even put any water-"
"Stir harder!" Undyne shouted. Nora's eyebrows went up as she started to stir faster. "HARDER!" Nora stirred as fast as she could. "HARDER!"
"I can't go any harder!"
"Ugh, let me do it!" Undyne said. Nora jumped back as a spear came down and stabbed at the pot, denting in severely
"JESUS!" Nora stared with wide eyes.
"Fuhuhuhu! That's the stuff!" Undyne laughed. "Alright, now for the final step: TURN UP THE HEAT!"
"Again we didn't even put any water in-"
"Let the stovetop symbolize your passion!" Undyne shouted. "Let your hope and dream turn into burning fire! READY? Don't hold anything back!"
"Oh forget it." Nora muttered as she turned the dial on the stove.
"Hotter!" Undyne shouted. Nora raised an eyebrow and turned the dial more. "HOTTER DARNIT!" Nora turned it up higher but immediately backed up when the pot burst into flames. "HOTTER! Wait, that's too – "
"Do you have a fire extinguisher?!" Nora shouted as she looked around frantically.
"Ah. Man, no wonder Papyrus sucks at cooking." Undyne said with a sheepish smile.
"How are you so calm?" Nora asked, her voice coming out as frustrated whisper.
"So what's next? Scrapbooking? Friendship bracelets? … oh, who am I kidding. I really screwed this up, didn't I? I can't force you to like me, human. Some people just don't get along with each other."
"We'd get along just fine if you didn't try to kill me every time you saw me." Nora muttered.
"I understand if you feel that way about me. And if we can't be friends… that's okay." Undyne said. "Because… if we're not friends…"
"Wait h-hang on, slow down now-"
"IT MEANS I CAN DESTROY YOU WITHOUT REGRET!"
"No, let's not do that…" Nora said holding up her hands. Undyne summoned a spear and faced Nora in a fighting stance.
"I've been defeated… My house is in shambles. I even failed to befriend you. That's it. I don't care if you're my guest anymore. One final rematch! All out on both sides! IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN REGAIN MY LOST PRIDE!"
"I'm sure we can find another way…" Nora whined. "Maybe outside and not inside the house of fire?"
"NOW COME ON! HIT ME WITH ALL YOU'VE GOT! NGAHHH!" Undyne shouted. Nora let her head hang before making a fist, throwing her arm back, swinging and hitting Undyne in the shoulder. "What? That's the best you can manage?" Nora frowned. "Even attacking at full force… you just can't muster any intent to hurt me, huh? … Heh, you know what?" Undyne let her spear fade and stood up straight. "I don't actually want to hurt you either. At first, I hated your stupid saccharine shtick, but… the way you hit me just now, it… reminded me of someone I used to train with. Now I know you aren't just some wimpy loser. You're a wimpy loser with a big heart! Just like him… Listen, human…"
"Nora."
"Nora. It seems that you and Asgore are fated to fight. But knowing him… He probably doesn't want to. Talk to him. I'm sure you can persuade him to let you go home. Eventually, some mean human will fall down here… and I'll take THEIR soul instead. That makes sense, right? Fuhuhu. Oh, and if you DO hurt Asgore… I'll take the human souls… Cross the barrier… And beat the hell out of you! That's what friends are for, right?" Undyne said with a grin. Nora chuckled and nodded. "Fuhuhu! Now let's get the hell out of this flaming house!"
"Finally." Nora muttered before the two ran out of the house.
"Well, that was fun, huh? We'll have to hang out again another time." Undyne said.
"Yeah, something a little less dangerous preferably."
"Yeah heh, but, uh, somewhere else I guess." Undyne said. "In the meantime, I guess I'll go hang with Papyrus. So if you need me, drop by Snowdin, OK!? Since you're staying with Papyrus I guess we're roomies now." Undyne said with a grin. "Oh and if you ever need help, Just give Papyrus a ring, ok? Since we're in the same spot, I'll be able to talk too! Well, see ya later, punk!" Undyne said before leaving.
"Alright, add violent fish to my list of friends…" Nora said with a sigh.
So I did my best with the Undyne Friend Date thing. I'm sorry if you feel there's too much of the original game and not enough Nora. I might go back and rewrite this chapter but I wanted to put this up since I haven't posted in… has it only been like a month?
