Fuelled by enthusiasm, Papyrus had spent most of the day running around the whole of the Underground, spreading the news of the fallen human, faster than lightning. Soon enough, monsters from far and wide were aware of the human Kirsty Poppy.
Most were overjoyed; the humans just sounded so amazing in the history books - whoever didn't like them must've been insane! - and since the rules had changed to embrace humans, they had every reason to be happy about their new friend. The few who weren't as excited didn't really care; all that mattered to them was their freedom (and seeing that they had none of that, nothing mattered at all).
Some monsters decided to visit the human. In no possible reality would the queen not be the first. When Frisk and Kirsty left to go to their house, Papyrus' immediate thought was to ring Toriel, as he knew she would be the happiest she'd ever been in her life to be one of the first few monsters to greet the human to their new home. Although she was already busy with her responsibilities, she instantly abandoned her work - leaving it begging on it's non-existent knees for her to come back as soon as possible - and raced off to find the humans.
Kirsty, after having the tour of her new home (a quaint bungalow not far from Papyrus' house), decided to stay in for the rest of the day, just to come to terms with the situation she had thrown herself into. When she was sitting in the blue lounge, in an armchair, reading a book, she was suddenly clawed out of her tranquil trance by a rapid knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" shouted Frisk, leaping from the bedroom to the front door, eagerly. The teen smiled.
She could just about hear the short conversation between a twelve year old human girl and a one hundred and fifty year old goat queen. From what she could tell from the way they spoke to each other, their relationship was tight and bore resemblance to that of a mother-daughter kind of bond.
Kirsty then heard the door slam shut and got back to reading, with a sigh of relief, but she bit her lip upon the sound of two pairs of footsteps approaching.
"Greetings, my child. I am Queen Toriel, and I welcome you to the Underground." said Toriel. Kirsty immediately jumped up, giving an elegant curtesy. "Oh, how polite!" The queen bowed back, with a giggle, as the young girl sat down. "I do hope you like it here. It looks like you're going to be here for a very long time, so you might as well enjoy it."
"Yes, I do like what I've seen so far." nodded Kirsty. "I'm going to go exploring tomorrow."
"Oh, that is great news!" exclaimed Toriel. "When I saw you, I couldn't believe how beautiful you were. You know, I think you're even more beautiful now that you're awake."
Yes, indeed, this girl was quite a pretty picture. With her great, big coat hung up at the door, they now could see the unzipped, neon green hoodie, which read 'GEEK'. Underneath was a purple, long-sleeved cardigan and a black shirt. "Thanks." Kirsty blushed.
Toriel then completely lost control, bombarding the fifteen year old with a multitude of questions, but Frisk quickly stopped her, saying that none of them really had the time. The queen chuckled, before waving goodbye and leaving the house to return to her work.
Kirsty took advantage of her short window of freedom, getting lost in her book and forgetting about absolutely everything else. However, it dawned on her that it would not be long at all before more curious monsters came, with more curious questions, and she would have to give more curious answers to those curious questions.
She didn't want that.
She'd like anything but that.
"... That's not what I came here for."
The next couple of monsters didn't seem that interesting - well, at least not as interesting as the great Papyrus, the other human, or Queen Toriel. Most just came to say hello and welcome, then left (exactly how Kirsty wanted them to, as she would prefer to have a chill day before she did any exploring, or friend-making). Monsters who were interesting included ones such as Muffet, who persuaded her into buying some pastries from her Spider Bake Sale, which Kirsty would absolutely adore spending lunch in. But, the last two monsters were definitely one of the most intriguing people she'd ever known.
"Kirsty," called Frisk, walking into the lounge. Kirsty paused the television, placed above a blazing fire, causing Mettaton to freeze in mid-air. "Is it okay if you come with me for dinner with Papyrus and Sans? Sans is his brother and I really want you to meet him."
"Um... Yeah, sure." smiled the teen.
"Great! Nice to know you're gonna be out of the house!" Frisk beamed, heading into the bedroom to prepare.
However, a gentle knock on the door, followed by a furious knock, which shook the whole house, proved this to only be possible if someone were to answer the door first. Frisk, enjoying the attention, raced to the door and unearthed a tall, muscular fish-like monster, accompanied by a short, shy, yellow lizard monster.
"Undyne! Doctor Alphys!" cheered Frisk.
'A doctor?' thought Kirsty, with a raised eyebrow. 'Why would they need a doctor?'
On the way to the house, and on the tour, Frisk had been teaching Kirsty about how the Underground worked. She learned that they wouldn't need to waste time eating food, as it simply replenishes their health straight away, so they wouldn't need things like doctors and nurses.
Frisk also educated her on the history of the Underground, about the war, the first fallen human, the prophecies, the six souls and Frisk's journey. Apparently, they needed seven human souls to break the barrier - the seal that kept them trapped down there - and Frisk was the seventh, so everyone wanted to kill her. But, she befriended them, and, when she was at the barrier, ready to leave, she quickly decided to live with them, rather than the other humans.
"Hey, punk!" Undyne said. "We heard there was another human. Alphys was dyin' to see 'em. She wouldn't stop askin' when we could go." She nudged Alphys, who blushed timidly in her lab coat. "So? Where is the little guy? We've been waitin' all afternoon to meet 'em!"
"She's just in the lounge, wa-" Frisk started, but was interrupted by a fish's strong hand in her face, pushing her out of the way.
Undyne dragged Alphys into the living room and their jaws dropped at the sight.
"Wow! A-another human! I-I've never seen one so...good l-looking!" the scientist stammered, she and her lover running over to touch her long, rainbow hair.
Kirsty stiffened. Having her hair touched reminded her of an impolite boy she despised in her previous life, who liked to touch her hair. However, she took a deep breath, decided that it was perfectly fine if girls wanted to touch her hair.
"Alright, alright! Give her some space!" said Frisk, stepping into the room.
"Oh, I'm s-so sorry!" Alphys apologised.
"Hehe. Sorry, punk. We got a little excited there." Undyne said. "Ya see, it's really hard to find unique things like you in this dump, so we kinda went a bit crazy... I like your hair."
"Me too." smiled Alphys.
"I think everybody likes Kirsty's hair." giggled Frisk. "She's like a diamond in the rough!"
"Thanks." Kirsty blushed.
"I'm Undyne, and this is my friend, Alphys. She's an awesome scientist and I'm her awesome lab assistant! I'm also a P.E. teacher. Did you know I can bench press seven children?!" grinned the blue, eyepatch-wearing fish.
"Um... No?" replied Kirsty.
It was at this time in the chat that she chose not to listen anymore. Scientists excited her, but very little. The conversation wasn't really absorbing until the subject of anime was somehow pulled into it.
"Wait... Anime?" asked Kirsty, leaning forward to check if what she heard was correct.
"Uh... Yeah... You l-like anime?" Alphys said.
"Um... Not really...but I do like to draw anime, if that counts." Kirsty answered.
Alphys' whole face lit up. "Wow! I love anime! I especially like to watch Mew Mew Kissy Cutie! Can I see your drawings?!" exclaimed the thrilled doctor.
"Uh... Yeah, okay, sure." Kirsty spoke, taking Alphys into the spacious bedroom and finding her art pad. Inside was at least fifty five fantastical pictures.
The style varied and they could clearly see when she was practising and when she was attempting to draw a hall-of-fame worthy sight. Sometimes, she practised drawing realistically - it didn't look half bad - but never for a proper piece.
"Wow! You're really good!" Alphys smiled broadly, flicking through the pages.
Soon, she found an anime Papyrus, sitting alongside a beaming Frisk - parts of it had already been coloured. On the next page was Queen Toriel, in a magnificent, majestic outfit.
Alphys looked up. "Can you...draw me?" she asked, hopefully. Kirsty took out a pencil and a rubber from a bulging pencil case.
"Of course." she replied, happily.
Frisk and Undyne watched from afar, smiling triumphantly. "Good to see they're having a nice time together." they chimed, before laughing their heads off at how perfect their timing was.
