Chapter Text
The plane stops in Homecity, Massachusetts, and Kris and Catti roll out of the plane, before bouncing on the quartz walkways and bouncing into their respective vehicles.
“KRISTOPHER DREEMUR!” Toriel yelled as she put the car into 20 miles over the speed limit. “You went across the whole damn country and you never even told me!? Kris, this… this is just” Toriel then honks her horn annoyed, and is preparing to whoop Kris’ ass when they get home. Toriel kept rambling on and on about how dangerous it was and how lucky Kris was to have Dess with them. When they got home Toriel immediately grounded them in their room for the month… unless he behaved, then maybe a little sooner. Toriel walked Kris up to their room, “And another thing, no more sneaking out at night. I allowed it since you’re just making a lot of friends, but if this is the stuff you’re doing, then… I DON’T WANT YOU GOING ANYWHERE!” Toriel hugged Kris and tucked them into bed. “D-Don’t ever do that to us again… please?” Toriel asked politely. Kris gave a thumbs up, and pretended to go to sleep… Kris listens as their father talks with work and Asriel prepares his 1893rd confession speech… this is in counting.
“Wow Catti, California too? Always wanted to go there!” Dadcat asked his younger daughter. “HOW ARE YOU BEING SO CALM!? OUR DAUGHTER COULD’VE BEEN KILLED!!!!!!” Momcat yelled at her husband. Catti leaned back in her seat. Momcat continued, “should… should I get one of those bubbles that contain a person so they can never hurt themselves again? Should I keep her wrapped in chains” Momcat asked. Dadcat gave a sigh, “Honey… relax… was it a little dangerous, maybe…” Dadcat said. “but hey, I bet you weren’t on your phone the whole time! Your mother should be thankful… maybe next time just uhhh… text us once a day” Dadcat added. “ONCE!? ARE YOU CRAZY!?” Momcat screamed. “SHE NEEDS TO VIDEO US, I know I wanted Catti to get off the phone, but I don’t want her to on such a long journey, she’s still young!” Momcat added. “Don’t listen to your mother” Dadcat whispered in Catti’s ear. Catty leaned over Catti oppressively. “Sisssssss” she said. “Your presence was not missed” Catti let Catty know. “Oh whatever, like, how was it! Where did you guys go! What did you see!? Like I am totes jealous of you right now! You just saw the entire country basically, and like, left us here in this small town, like, that's not cool, but it is cool! Cause you’re my sister and all and like thats the best part and it’s like, I dunno I-” Catti just hears Catty continuously blab and blab and begins to wish she brought her spellbook, so an incantation of silence can be done…
“Dess…” Carol said. “Don’t… even fucking say it mom” Dess replied. “Dess… you crashed an RV, a rental car, and destroyed a ton of property, and you called the police and legal authorities because you lost the kids, that cost us 3 million dollars itself, and my pride that my own daughter does not have the responsibility to take care of 2 freshmen.” Carol scolded. “Mom, they CONTINUOUSLY TRIED TO ESCAPE!” Dess yelled. “And I bet they crashed into a church, got into gang wars, a cartel shooting, and how could I possibly forget, breaking into fort knox?” Carol added. Dess growled, “Mom, it’s not that bad, I swear, we can manage it” Dess said. “Oh we absolutely can… but the fact we have to is… majorly disappointing… and inconvenient” Carol says. Rudy sits in the passenger seat as the 2 argue. “Hey, can’t we just be glad our daughter is even alive? And plus, it sounds like they had a great time after all… sounds pretty exhilarating” Rudy adds. Dess smiles a little bit, her dad was able to get her to smile as always. “Yeah… it really was, just seeing all the different sights, landscapes…” Carol does think about that… “Indeed… as much as it annoys me, I do wish to hear more about it… but you’re paying for all the bills if you try this again.” Rudy laughs at Carol’s half joke half serious comment. “Heh, getting better Carol” Carol smiles at Rudy’s comment… Dess lays back and enjoys the rest of the ride home once they reach Hometown. “Guess we’re back… I hope Noelle didn’t miss me too much” Dess said as she hopped out… unfortunately, a SIMP appeared.
“Greeting m’lady, how was your cross country pilgrimage? I am dying to know” Asriel said, a rose in his mouth. “Great, you weren’t around…” Asriel then handed her the rose. “Must’ve been lonely without me by your side… y’know, I tampered with the festival voting box last festival, that was just for us!” Asriel said, but it was clear his confidence was breaking. “Asriel… don’t you have a brother to say hello to?” Dess stated. Asriel blushed and ran off, before tripping on nothing and into a trash can. “H-hello!? Can… Can someone help me get out of here?” Asriel said embarrassed.
Meanwhile with Kris… they were sure Toriel was asleep, and Asgore was too distracted to do anything. Kris snuck out of bed and out the window, they climbed up the roof and once standing at the highest part, they pulled out a harpoon and a shirt hanger. Kris pressed a tile on the roof that was actually a secret button. Dadcat was relaxing, looking over Catti’s notebook with her, until the alarm went off. “Hold up Catti, I’ll be right back” Dadcat said as he ran into the hallway. He turned off the alarm, and opened the window to their kitchen. He then grabbed an air marshaller uniform and put a glow stick out. “Alright Kris…” Kris gave a thumbs up as they finished setting the harpoon on the house. They then use the shirt hanger to hold themselves up. “Coming in nice… wait you’re speeding up, wait, slow it, SLOW IT!” Dadcat waves the glowstick wildly, before Kris crashes in and ends up flat on the wall… “Don’t worry, I got ya” Dadcat grabbed a spatula, and scraped them off. He then grabbed Kris by a hair and pulled him up back to wholeness. Kris and Dadcat give a hi-five. “Me and Catti were just going through her notebook, she called Noelle over as well". Catti's dad said.
“CATTI!” Noelle said, infuriated. Catti smiled at Noelle, despite her cheerful demeanor, she was nice to see again. Noelle playfully slapped her arms, complaining about all the bullcrap she had to go through and how she should have just listened to her. Catti snickers, but her eyes light up when Kris walks in. Noelle turns around and makes another scream of fury, strangling Kris in her hands, telling them the same thing. When Noelle calmed down, she sat with the 2 and looked at Catti’s notebook. “Wow… all across the nation?” Noelle said, impressed. Catti and Kris nodded yes. Suddenly Catti got a notification… it’s a friend request from a user on the PechaPecha wiki! A user known as “EstonTheSeagull”, who wrote ”No way! It’s you!? Catti?”… Catti looked shocked at the request, but eagerly accepted it…
Back with Dess, Dess snuck to Kris’ window, only to find they were not there. “What the!?” Dess said… she looked at Catti’s house, and her face grew red with anger. “Why I oughta kill that damn felid bastard” Dess whispered to herself. As much as Dess wanted to, she was too tired to go get Kris… suddenly as she was getting down. “D-DESS!?” Asriel said as he entered the room. “I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU HAD A CRUSH ON ME!” Asriel gained back his confidence. Dess was dragged in. “Wait wait, NO! GET AWAY! NO! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! KRIS HELP! ANYBODY!?” Dess screamed for help… the sounds outside were at first smooching, before it turned to a ton of punching. “Heh… i get it… don’t worry, I’ll take your feistiness” Asriel said. “CREEP!” Dess socked Asriel out the window and he fell headfirst into a bush… legs standing out. “I… I luv ya too.. Dess… Dess?” Asriel said, unaware how much Dess actually despised him today.
Back at the Cattenheimer residence, Kris and Catti were laying together in the guest bed, looking up at the ceiling, a dark room, full of moonlight showing their two faces through the blinds. Kris asks Catti if she feels like they will travel again as hard as they did these past few days. Catti wonders for a second, sticking her arms behind her back… she snickers when she gets an answer. Kris pokes Catti to tell them to say the answer. “Well… do you want to?” Catti asks. Kris then bonks her head over and over playfully, shouting yes over and over. “Then… of course…” Kris smiles at the answer Catti gives, and snuggles up to her, feeling her fur in their face. Catti brings them closer… and smiles softly… “Yeah Kris… we’ll travel again…”
“We’ll ride like the wind”
…
Somewhere, a dark room, lit only by a few candles. A piece of paper finally finished… the author looks down, as absurd as it is, it is a story… he grabs something off his desk, and opens his drawer. Inside was 1 other object, a white coronation, The author looks towards his shelf… a gun with a scope… ideas form.
The author places a passport in his drawer alongside the flower, and slams it shut… the story stops there.
