Notes:

Chapter 1: UN-amusement park (Human Reader)

Chapter Text

You look into the mirror as you get ready for the day. Mutt had told you that he had bought SEASON PASSES to an amusement park with roller coasters and everything for the both of you. It had just opened up and apparently the first few people got them for cheap and he had bought two of them. He said it was your “super early birthday gift” considering… your birthday isn’t even near. But either way it’s exciting! You haven’t been to many places like this before so you’re ready to have fun with Mutt. Maybe you guys could take some pictures and post them… hmmm.

“hey darlin’ you ready to go?” He was wearing his usual coat but he was wearing a red t-shirt and black shorts instead of pants. You didn’t miss the light purple that dusted his cheekbones a little when he saw you. You were wearing the clothes he got you as a gift; some white socks with green stripes which came up to your shins, jean shorts that met just above your knees, and a kind of over sized white graphic tee that you tucked into your shorts.

“Yes! I just need my tiny bag,” you scanned the room for the tiny jansport bag. You kept your wallet, keys, and everything important in that bag. You found it on the floor next to your desk, picking it up you told Mutt you were ready to go.

Both you and Mutt walk downstairs, you first and then Mutt tailing behind you. Not slowly, but quicker than his normal, leisurely pace.

“Oh, this is going to be so much fun! We have to ride all the rides when we get there and we’re definitely going to stay until it CLOSES! We can take cute pictures together and do all the small games they have there to win some stuff!”

“heh,”

Mutt watches as you excitedly talk about what you have planned for the day, smiling as he’s listening. He’s glad to make you happy, even if it’s only for a little while.

You’re still talking and Mutts still listening when you guys make it to the living room seeing Blue and Papyrus in there looking like they’re ready to go somewhere. They’re all dressed up, so to speak. You look at them curiously. Was Taylor finally making time to hang out with them? They seem to meet your eyes and the start to look uneasy and awkward. They sit there and pretend they don’t know you’re there.

“where you guys headed?” Mutt asked, a bone brow raising up in question.

“OH! U-UH ME, BLUE, AND THE OTHERS ARE GOING WITH TAYLOR TO THE NEW AMUSEMENT PARK TODAY, SINCE IT IS THE OPENING THE TICKETS WERE PRETTY CHEAP.” Papyrus answered. Though he spoke confidently, his voice did not seem to match up and it sounded nervous.

WHAT!? That’s where you and Mutt are going!! They’re going too? It was supposed to be a fun day together and now it seems to be getting worse than better!You were going to say something but decided against it, think it was a bad idea.

You noticed Mutt widen his eyes but then quickly adjust himself.

Now Mutt has more questions than answers, “you all goin’ together? an’ the others are going along with it?”

“YES,” Blue speaks up. “IT STARTED OUT AS SANS’ IDEA FOR JUST HIM AND HER AND… WELL, JUST TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WE ALL GOING NOW,”

“did an argument happen?” Mutt asked, again.

“ERM, WELL, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT. RED SAID IT WAS NOT FAIR HOW SHE WOULD SPEND MORE TIME WITH EDGE, BLACK, AND SANS THEN THE REST OF US AND THEN THEY ARGUED BUT THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO GO TOGETHER. TAYLOR IS FINE WITH IT BUT IT SEEMS SANS, EDGE, AND BLACK ARE A LITTLE BIT BOTHERED,” Papyrus spoke.

“huh,” Mutt hummed.

You elbow Mutt in the side and he just looks at you and shrugs his shoulders as an ‘I don’t know’, “i don’t know, i didn’t even know about sans asking taylor ‘bout that stuff. promise i didn’t know, and i don’t promise much. i wasn’t tryin’ to make this a bad day,” he half-whispered.

“I know,” you sigh, “I just don’t want anything to go wrong,” you pull a frown and defensively cross your arms, which earns a slightly sad look from Mutt.

“WHAT ABOUT YOU? YOU TWO SEEM… READY TO GO SOMEWHERE,” Papyrus asks Mutt.

“well, I hope it don’t seem like we’re followin’ ya’ but… we’re heading to the park too...” Mutt nervously chuckles.

“Yeah… I got these new clothes from Mutt and I’m trying them out for today,” you say. The awkward tension is real as Papyrus and Blue just stand there, wide-eyed.

“hey, paps, baby blue, you guys ready to go-ooo…,” Sans stops at the door leading into the living room and his eyelights flicker back and forth between the two skeletons on one side of the room and then over to you and Mutt.

He narrows his eye sockets at you and Mutt but more specifically you. He looks like he’s trying to figure out a puzzle but there’s just one piece missing.
“what’s happening? what did she do, paps? you’re looking kinda nervous, bro,” Sans asks his younger brother.

“OH, UH, IT’S NOTHING SANS. MUTT AND I WERE JUST TALKING,” Papyrus reassures his brother.

“you sure bro?”

“YES! THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS ALWAYS SURE. N-NYEH”

Sans still glares at you as if you had done something but he lets it drop and he turns to walk out the door right before Blue calls out to him.

“DID YOU HEAR? MUTT AND HIS HUMAN ARE GOING TO THE THE AMUSEMENT PARK TOO. I WONDER IF ONE OF THE OTHERS INVITED THEM,”

“what? no no no, you’re not coming with us. you were never invited, how can you just come with us and not even ask? it’s not like we want you there” the last part was barely audible but you and Mutt heard what he said and he gives you a look.

To be honest, you had an attitude and you were not in the mood for any of the other skeletons games. You were gonna give a remark when Mutt spoke first.

“sans, we’re not goin’ wit ya’. we were headin’ out on our own time and we jus’ found out yous were goin’ too. nothing to get rattled up about,”

Sans still gives you guys a critical look but just leaves, sighing an “alright fine,”

You look at Mutt and he just stares right back. You sigh, letting it go, not trying to ruin the fun day Mutt had plan for you guys.

“How about we start going and leave before them?” you ask, “At least we won’t have to deal with them that much,”

Mutt shrugs and grabs your hand, leading you to your car which he insisted on using and driving himself, saying you’ll need room for all the things he’s going to win you. You smile at the memory and let him lead you to the car.

 

You guys didn’t speak for most of the time, just listening to the playlist that was on Mutt’s phone. But it wasn’t an uncomfortable silence, in fact, it was perfect. Neither of you felt like talking and you’d always preferred listening to the music anyway. By the time you got there it seems there was already people getting in a bit early because of the passes and there was children there and so were their parents. You look around excitedly, talking about all the things you wanted to do first. You were practically hopping up and down in anticipation and excitement. Mutt just watches you with a smile on his face. He laughs at the sight of you and he holds your hand, walking to the entrance.

Inside was even better. After getting through all the security stuff you started walking. To your left was some face painting, balloon animals, and snack stands, directly next the that was the place to fill your cup up with drinks. Luckily for you and Mutt, the passes came with unlimited drinks all season. Then in the middle, which was right in front of you, was a statue of.. their mascot? It happened to be a raccoon who looked overexcited and had a sash on his left shoulder that had the amusement parks name across it. The statue was in full color and it seemed to be freshly painted, which makes sense since the park had just opened, and under it was the base which had some reading about the parks history.

On your right just seemed to be some bushes and trees with a metal fence blocking it off, nothing much to look at, though behind it you can see the rides. You grabbed Mutts hand and told him to hurry up! You guys passed the raccoon statue and ran down the path where there was an arch with orange, red, and yellow colors, bearing the parks name. Right passed that was much more rides. A giant boat that swings back and forth, and giant circle thats spins way too fast, some swings that rise up, and some twisty circle ride that spun and also rocked back and forth. Behind it had some more like rides that dropped and then some rollercoasters.

“oh, i wanna get on tha’ blazer. been seein’ that one everywhere,” Mutt points to a ride that had some seats, on the side of them just looks like some fire. What a creative name, wonder how many geniuses it took to come up with that one. It goes back and forth and almost in a complete circle.

“Okay, but after we have to get on Armageddon,” You pointed at a green and blue rollercoaster that had a lot of twirls, spins, and went upside down. You see people already starting the ride from where you’re standing.

“oh, deal,” he smirks at you and then leads you to The Blazer (which happens to be a silly name by that way) and you get into the fast pass lane, passing all the other humans and monsters who didn’t buy the passes. Seeing as you and Mutt are both tall and adults it made no sense to measure so you went right in. The guy then buckled you guys in the seats with you by the edge and Mutt in the middle with a stranger at the other end.

“Get ready Mutt. I hope you don’t throw up on me,”

“you act like ima little baby,”

“That’s because you are!”

After the guy gave an announcement about the ride it had started in full motion. Swiftly moving back and forth, but still moving slowly. It kept going back and forth back and forth up until you felt it was pretty high! It then felt like it had stopped, or was it just a slow falling? Then you guys swooshed down to the other side almost making a full circle before falling back down a couple times. Mutt just lazily raising his arms and keeping his eyes closed and you just laughing the entire time. The ride went for a couple times before it slowly came to a stop with the swift movement that started it.

“woah, my legs feel weird,” Mutt tells you.

“Yah, get used to it Mutt, because we are going on so many more!”

“heh, i’ll live. lead the way for me,”

“Okay! This way, come on!” You grab his hand again and lead him to the ride you had both agreed to get on before The Blazer. This one was taller the the last and it seemed to have loops that never end.

“If that isn’t a giant pretzel in disguise, I don’t know what is,”

“ya’ tellin me ya’ haven’t seen a pretzel that big?”

“Never,” you say, smirking.

You both walk to the line, again skipping pass the others waiting in the normal line. Why do rollercoaster parks gotta have the lines go into odd directions? And why so long? You and Mutt must have walked an entire corn maze before you had made it to the actual ride!

“walkin’ here felt more like a ride than anythin’” Mutt says, looking up at the roof. The ride started at the top, went down, looped a billion times, and then came back up.

“Huh, You’re tellin’ me,”

Buckled in by the people are always kind of weird because they have to buckle in between your legs and you always feel bad for them because it must be awkward. Then, the silver looking gates that lead to the ride shut and lock, signaling that the ride is gonna start.

“i’m startin’ ta regret this one to be honest,” Mutt says.

“Too late!!!” You laugh. The ride then starts going fast straight and then swiftly down which led to a turn that made everyone upside down and then a vertical climb that straighted everyone back up.

“oh my stars! i need somethin’ to hold on to!” You hear Mutt yelling over the wind.

“That’s why ya got the handles to your sides ya dummy!”

“OH! you’re right!” Mutt holds onto the handles like it’s his soul starting to slip out from under him and just shuts his eyes as tight as he can. His gold tooth sparkles in the sunlight and that’s what really got you laughing your guts out.

 

You laugh as your wobbly-feeling legs take you down the exit path from the ride and the the main path.

“you’re evil, you’re really evil, ya know that angel?”

“Oh I know it, he he he,” You give him a fake evil laugh before asking him which ride he wants to do next, “Okay, there’s Regret, DEATH, and The Dropper, which the name itself tells you wha- huh?” You don’t see Mutt next to you anymore so you turn back to see him staring- no, glaring in a direction. You turn to look at what he’s looking at.

It’s Taylor. She’s with just Edge and Black at the moment and they seem to be buying her some toys and little gidget gadgets from a stand. You can hear her annoying, high pitched squealing from here. You can also hear Black praising her for just being Taylor, too. Edge just seems to be there just to buy her something, though.

“ANYTHING FOR MY DEAR,” You hear Black say, “I CAN BUY YOU ANYTHING YOU’D LIKE, LOVE, JUST SHOW ME,”

It takes a lot of self-control to not gag. You turn to Mutt who starts walking again but still turning to look at them, glaring.

“Whatever, Mutt. It’s not worth it. Ugh, why don’t they buy me something,” Taking back what you had thought about self-control before, you roll your eyes and wait for Mutt to catch up.

You grab his hand, “Come on, Let’s go win some stuff,”

“heh, okay angel,”

You decide to go to the first game you see and of course it’s ring toss, how classic! But instead of the rings being red, they’re like green with arms and legs, and the sticks poking out are green too while the background is blue. Apparently they’re supposed to represent frogs, lilypads, and then just a normal old lake. You both pay five bucks to get five rings.

“im goin’ first. out my way, loser,” he playfully pushes you to stand directly in the middle of the game.

“Wha- Hey!” You laugh.

“watch me win this, i get every ring, every time,”

“Humble brag, humble brag,”

“shut up,” he tosses the ring, trying to make it into the middle one but misses, “ DAMN,”

“Hahaha! You really do suck, Mutt! Give it up!”

“never!” he tosses another ring, farther to the right and he throws it a little too far! He groans and plays two more rings, one goes completely out of range from ANY of the sticks and the other makes it in! “told you i’m good at this,”

“You’ve only got ONE in, Mutt”

“and? I haven’t seen you get any,”

“I HAVEN’T GONE YET,”

“okay, okay, jeez. hold on I gots one more,” he readies himself for the last throw, hunching himself over and staring straight at the farthest stick, “okay, ima get this, watch,” he tosses it and the ring starts to swirls right around the stick, “oh yes! got it in you owe me five bucks,”

“Wai- HAH, looks like you spoke too soon! It flew off!” You’re laughing so hard at Mutt’s dumbstruck look, the ring flew too fast it flew off the stick!

“That means you only have one ring! Heh, that’s not enough for a prize,”

“Sorry, man,” The guys running the game says, “She’s right,”

Mutt grumbles and moves out the way for you to throw your rings.

“Okay, Mutt, Watch and learn,” You aim for the one in the middle and easily make it in, “WOO, beat THAT, Mutt!”

“angel, you impress me more everyday,” he laughs.

“Bet, watch this, imma make another,” You toss it- No! You missed, “Wah- No fair!”

“seems pretty fair to me nyeh heh,”

“That’s because you LOST” Mutt pulls a frown that makes you giggle.

The game is over pretty fast, you made four rings in and you get to pick a medium prize, hanging from the top. You picked the big brown bunny and the man hands it to you, “Thank you,” you tell him.

Mutt has a look between jealousy and discontentment over his loss.

 

Behind you guys, though, stood Red. He’s watching you guys from far. If he’s honest, he didn’t even want to come. Ever since he’s been noticing Taylor’s lies and nasty attitude more often, he hasn’t been hanging with her that much. He only mentioned her not hanging with Stretch, Blue, and Papyrus because he noticed her frequently leaving them hanging when they asked her to hang or go out. Then after Blue came up with the idea that they should all go to the park, then Sans tried to shut down the idea. Which… wasn’t very successful, obviously. Taylor said that it was a good idea and that they should all have a day out together. Red denied and that’s when he got into an argument with Black, him saying he doesn’t care for her that much and that he should try to be a better boyfriend. That’s how he got dragged into this mess.

He looks over at you guys, hanging and laughing together. He feels something in the back of his skull. Something yearning for what you and Mutt have. He… he thinks he wishes to have that. No… He’s not ready to believe that you’re that good, yet. Maybe he’s wrong? Maybe Taylor’s right? Maybe he’s overreacting?

He thinks this may be true but when he looks at you and Mutt interacting he can’t help but believe it’s a lie.

He see you win against the mutt at ring toss and laughs. You point at the brown bunny and the human man takes in down for you. You dancin’ in front of Mutt, teasing him because he lost. Then, to his surprise, you give the toy to the mutt!

“Here you go,” he hears you say, “It’s for you,” you smile big at Mutt.
“aw, thank ya’ angel,” Mutt takes your hand as you guys walk off to another game. He frowns, thinking about how Taylor never treats him like that, she treats none of them like that. She just goes shopping with them. He feels his soul tug a bit.

“Come on, Red. What are you doing?” Red hears Taylor call his name. She stops short when she realizes he’s watching you and Mutt walk away, “Tsk, this is OUR outing, Red. You don’t need to focus on Mutt and that liar. I know you feel bad, but there’s nothing we can do but let them be,” Red growls at that, but quickly dismissing it to not let Taylor know.

 

You and Mutt have been walking around the buildings a bit after getting on more rides. You’ve gotten bracelets, necklaces, stationery, giant pens… uhm, yeah. Mutt sees a game of that clown squirty thing and pulls you towards it with him, making you laugh.

“Bro, I think I suck at this game,” you say.

“you played before?”

“Not sure, Memories are jumbled and blurred, but I think I have once,”

“me neither,” he shrugs.

You giggle as you both hop on a seat. You guys do what you gotta do to start playing and then you tell Mutt that you guys are going to count down.

“alright, angel, on your count,” he agrees.

You count down and you’re off! Your gun seems heavy and it squirts more at his lower lip than his mouth, “Ah! No, I suck!” you scream.

“you always suck!” Mutt gives a quick remark.

“Be nice to me!”

Mutt seems to fill his balloon way too quick and it pops! Making him the winner between the two of you.

“I think you lied to me,” You say, readying your stuff.

“whadya mean, angel?”

“You said you never played before, but you’re aim is too good and you won took quick! You cheater!”

“ian cheat, i’m just good at this stuffs,” he throws his hands up as he shrugs

“Oh yeah? How’s you get so good?”

“ya know that place stretch talks about? the restaurant with the arcade? well they got some first person shooters there, with the real guns in real life too, guess I got good aim from there,” he explains.

“Huh, we should go together,”

“we should, I could take ya,” Mutt says, “woah, time went fast, dontcha think? we spent the entire morning here and tha’ afternoon. it’s five thirty, wanna grab some dinner before riding some more?”

You glance at the time and realize it is late! Wow, had you stood that long riding rides and playing at stands? “Sure, I’m actually hungry, come to think of it,”

“it’s on me, darlin’” Mutt says when he sees you taking out some money, “honest,”

“You sure? You paid for the passes and some of the games, the least I could do is pay for dinner,” you ask, genuinely wanting to pay.

“angel, I gots a lot of money, ian tryna brag, im just saying it feels nice to spoil someone else or to use it for someone else other than me,” you blush a little bit, looking down.

“Okay,” you agree. He takes you by the hands.

“okay, let’s see if we can find the greasiest thing here,”

“Ew, Noooo! I want.. uhmmm… chicken strips, fries, a burger, MAC AND CHEESE!!”

“ian even sure those foods go together with mac and cheese but whatever ya want to eat darlin’” Mutt gives you his toothy smile and you guys walk around looking for somewhere to eat.

Finding a good place, Mutt orders for you both while you sit at a wooden bench and table, on instagram trying to come up with a good caption for a picture of you and Mutt near some sign, holding up the brown bunny you had won for him. You sit for a bit before he comes back with the food you requested and sits. You can tell it’s hot because… well, its steaming. While you wait for it to cool you talk to Mutt about the pictures you are posting, what filter you’re using, and what captions you’re putting. He just listens as he’s not well versed in that stuff. He just takes a picture of what he’s doing, himself, you, or you and him and just posts it with a caption of whatever he wanted at the moment. He smiles at you because he knows you are enjoying your time with him and he wants nothing more than that.

“looks real sweet, angel. you should do that one, so i can save it too,” he tells you.

“Awe, okay. I can just send it to you,” you swing your feet as you’re sitting there, occasionally kicking him, on accident, which prompts him to kick you back, on accident too. He sits there eating his food while watching you talk and post about the pictures.

“Heh, Why are you looking at me like that,” you ask, smiling at hime.

“im happy”

“You’re happy?”

“im happy, you’re happy, i’m happy you’re happy,”

“You’re so weird,” You laugh again.

“it’s just, heh, uh, ive been planning this day for a bit and i wanted to be good and it is. i’m glad you’re happy, that’s why i’m happy. i enjoy my time with you,”

“Of course I’m happy you goof! I would still be happy even if it we went grass-sledding. I like hanging with you, man. Expensive visits aren’t just one way to make me happy, just… be with me. I’m glad you’re here,”

Mutt smiles widely, “okay, okay, though i might spend a lil’ money… just a lil’” he puts his hands up as if surrendering.

 

With Taylor and the other Skeletons, they are having a not so good time!! First, they couldn’t decide which ride to get on, then, Taylor kept complaining ABOUT the rides, like her hair kept getting in her face or the rides were too scary, or it went too fast, another went too slow, another rocked too much! What was up with her?

Then Black just took her to the stands to buy her something because she was upset, then Edge wanted to tag along too for stars know what reason. Finally they settled down to eat dinner in silence. Taylor apparently got oh so parched (after drinking so much coca-cola) and asked Edge if he could get them some slushies, saying she didn’t want to ruin her nice cyan dress. Edge agreed and that’s where they are now.

“SURE. COME ON BROTHER. COME WITH ME, I DO NOT LIKE TOUCHING THE SLUSHIE MACHINES. THEY ARE GROSS AND FULL OF HUMAN GERMS,”

Red sighed but didn’t have the energy to argue, “sure boss, whateva’”

They were walking for quite a bit when the found the slushies. It was like a Rita’s, and open stand thing so he had to wait in line with Edge, but before getting there he had seen Mutt walking back with two slushies, one purples and the other red and blue. He nudged Edge, who turned back quickly about to give Red a stern talking to but noticed what Red was pointing at and stopped.

“...looks like they’re actually havin’ a good time, boss” Red said a little lower than he usually talks.

“YES, THOUGH, I DON’T SEE HOW THAT MATTERS?”

“’s just sayin’, ya’ know,”

 

Mutt feels a bit awkward sitting there kowing Red is staring into his back. Though it’s not a glare, he still feels off about it. After talking a bit with you, he excused himself. You agreed, happily scrolling on your phone. He walks to Red and nods to somewhere they can talk in private.

“what’s up, red. Ya’ keep staring at us like some crazy stalker killer,” Mutt says in in a kind of joking way, but Red knows he’s being serious.

“nothin’ man, i swears it. i was just lookin’ at yous from tha’ stands.. an’… yous guys seems to be havin’ a good time. ‘s all,”

“is it not goin’ over well with taylor?”

“nah, she keeps buggin’ ‘bout everythin’ we’re doing. nothin’ is makin’ ‘er happy ‘n Black just keeps buyin’ her thangs like she the friggin’ queen,” Red growls

“yeah, i seen edge ‘n my bro buyin’ her some stuff,”

“can I ask ya somethin’? ‘bout you ‘n her?”

“...sure?”

“er…. uh, is… is it nice?”

“whadya mean, red?”

“i mean, wit ‘er. hangin’ with her everyday, like that, happy ‘n all, is it nice?”

“well, i mean yeah, don’t see why it wouldn’t be. she’s good, red. can’t see why yous don’t get that,” Mutt sighs

“…. do ya’ love ‘er?”

“’course i do, red. whatdya think? she’s a good person deserving of everythin’ i give her. you know me, you’d really think i’d be treatin’ her like this if she was real bad? lke a liar too?”

“...nah. it’s just… i neva…. had that with ‘er. taylor i mean. it just seemed like you guys were kickin it off back there, ya’ know?”

“i’m not tha one to be accepting stuff, red, but if you wanna make things right you gotta take it up with angel,” With that Mutt leaves.

 

 

While Mutt was gone to wherever he was, you got up and went into another store, looking at pens, memo pads, and stickers. Maybe some notebooks too, eh who knows. Edge had gotten back from giving Taylor and them their slushies, but he came back to ask you questions now that Mutt wasn’t around.

“HUMAN...” he started carefully.

You don’t turn around, but you give out a loud and annoyed sigh. Which, not gonna lie, did hurt him a little. But he’s the Grate and Terrible Papyrus, he doesnt not care, remember?

“WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MUTT?”

“Why do you wanna know so bad Edge. It’s not your business anyways,” you start walking through more isles

Edge scoffs lightly, “I KNOW, BUT, I MUST KNOW FOR THE SAKE OF KNOWING. ARE YOU USING HIM?” he follows you around

“No, Edge. I would never ever do that to him. That’s the last thing i’d ever want to do to him. No, actually it’s not even on my list. Just an FYI, we’re friends,”

“IF THAT IS TRUE… HOW COME I SEE HIM DO THINGS FOR YOU BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU DO THINGS IN RETURN?”

“I do, Edge. But you just don’t see it. Remember you said you don’t watch every move I make? I buy him things or I buy him lunch slash dinner. I help with his laundry when he helps with mine, I help remind him to shower and to eat, I help him with cleaning. I help remind him to change clothes. I help him with more than that, Edge,” you pick up some more pens and inspect if they’re your kind or not

“BUT WHY WOULD YOU EVEN CARE?”

“Because he’s my friend? Why would I not?”

“...YOUR RELATIONSHIP… WITH THE MUTT….. IS IT…. IS IT NICE?”

“What is that even… nevermind. Yes, it’s nice. We care for each other and we help each other. Not only that, we enjoy each others time together and we both have a lot in common. We eat snacks and watch TV together. He’s there when I need him and I’m there when he needs me,”

Edge ponders on your answers, he gives a subtle thank you before exiting. You shake your head before going to pay for what you got.

 

 

“man that was a long day,” Mutt says getting in the driver’s seat.

“Yeah, I’m so tired...” You yawn. You climb into the passengers, buckle up, and then shut your eyes. Mutt starts the drive home and before you know it, you’re asleep.
Mutt looks over at your sleeping form and sighs. He’s glad this day turned out exactly how he wanted. It was fun, exciting, and you were there through all of it with him.

Though, now the ride is over and he wakes you up. You wake up and notice the change of scenery, it’s is dark outside and you are back at the lodge. Some lights are still on, so you assume the others got home first. You get up and carry all of the bags and some stuffies with you while Mutt grabs his stuff and walks back to the house.

Inside the house, some skeletons are sitting on the couch in the living room, looking dead tired…. For serious. More dead than tired. They look beat and run down, they don’t even look like they had a good time, they look like they’ve just been dragged all day. Mutt notices Blue looks sadder than the rest.

“hey blue, why the long face?”

Blue sighs, “THOUGH TAYLOR HAS SOMETHINGS FROM BLACK, I WANTED TO WIN HER SOMETHING INSTEAD OF BUYING IT, BUT I DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! NOT EVEN FOR MYSELF,” He looks down at the ground.

“it’s okay, lil’ buddy, at least you tried,”

Mutt starts walking up the stairs, most likely heading to your room to cuddle and sleep but you stand in front of Blue, “Here,” you hand him a medium sized panda you won from one of the games there and then leave up the stairs, tailing Mutt.

You miss the shocked looks the skeletons give you when you walk up the stairs and out of sight.
