Chapter Text
"...Yeah, and no one knows where they came from! Crazy, right?" Kris woke up just in time to catch the back end of Catti's sentence. They were confused, of course, so they decided to ask Catti what she meant. "Wait, who? What's going on?" Catti jumped a little, apparently startled by Kris. "Um, did you seriously not hear about those two weirdos who showed up in town this morning? Wow, Kris, do you live under a rock or something?" Kris flipped Catti off. They could learn more later, they assumed.
Later, after school, Kris walked home determined to ask their mother about these new arrivals. They opened the front door to find Toriel sitting in her usual spot. "Hey, Mom?" Toriel looked up, tilting her head as Kris continued. "Catti said something earlier about two strangers showing up in town this morning. Do you know anything about that?" Toriel nodded, sighing quietly. She didn't want to talk about this. "Yes, I... think they're staying with your father. But if you go to visit him, take that headband off. You want to make a good first impression." Kris rolled their eyes, but took off the horned headband. "Okay, Mom. See you."
Kris knocked on the door of their father's flower shop. After a moment, Asgore opened the door. "Oh, hello Kris! Would you like to meet our guests?" Kris nodded enthusiastically, following Asgore inside. Next to one of the flowerbeds sat... two humans.
