Chapter Text
Three years had passed ever since the barrier was destroyed which meant the freedom of monsters in the underground. Humans who were at first hesitant to allow monsters back on the surface grew used to having these strange creatures walking amongst them. Most of these monsters decided to go their separate way to live and work for humans, but other’s decided to build a large town called “New Home.” Many people allowed this town to be built and it was only ten minutes away from one of the cities in the area.
For a year, the majority of the houses were being built along with food stores, a bar, a small school, restaurants, and much more. After the second year passed everything was basically finished. Most of the monsters now are living their lives with getting jobs or just enjoying the surface and what it has to offer.
Now the third year was beginning and a party to celebrate the three years they’ve been on the surface was making its way in tonight. Cake, drinks, balloons, spaghetti, chips, candy and any other junk food that could be thought of was being brought to the party.
“Hey, kiddo, ready to pop some firecrackers?” A lazy yet friendly voice was heard asking the question to the seventh fallen child who had saved them all.” Mhm!” They responded back with a joyful smile.
“Heh, good. This will be the first year we celebrate this…New Year’s thing. I can’t believe you humans celebrate a new year. In the undergrounds that would’ve frowned upon considering we’d be counting the days on how long we’ve been trapped down there.” He sighed as his boney hands quickly slipped back into the pockets of his thick blue jacket.
“Aww come on Sans, it’ll be a blast!” Frisk said in a joking manner which earned her a chuckle from the skeleton.” Yeah, you’re right kiddo. We’ll have a skele-TON of fun.” Sans grin grew wider as both of them laughed.” So Sans, you and mom been dating for a year now…is it getting pretty serious?” Frisk asked all of a sudden causing Sans to sweat nervously.” Aww kid c’mon…you’re worse than Undyne.” Frisk laughed even more.” Oops, sorry Sans! Looks like I get pretty Frisk-y when it comes to some personal questions.” She winked while sans rolled his eyes if he even had any that is.
“Sans!” Another familiar voice was heard in the distance calling out to Sans, it was none other than Toriel.” Sans, come on and help me set up the table, you too my child!” She waved them over before disappearing into the house.” Welp, better go help my girlfriend, c’mon kiddo. I’m sure my brother will also need help with cooking his Spaghetti since he feels like more should be at the party. “He said.
Frisk nodded and followed the skeleton into the house. They both helped Toriel with placing all the plastic cup, plates, forks, spoons, and knives onto the table followed by lots of food and three huge bowls of punch.” Geez…we really went out with all of this. You sure everyone’s going to eat this much?” Sans questioned while looking at the female goat.” I’m sure, and with my butterscotch pie, they’ll have a tasty dessert.” She giggled.
Meanwhile, Frisk was over at the table placing the knives down until suddenly an ominous laugh was heard.” H E H E! Y O U. C A N N O T. H A V E. Y O U R. H A P P Y. E N D I N G. F R I S K!” Suddenly Frisk began to shake, knowing exactly who this voice was. “N-No…P-Please! I-I don’t want too!” Frisk yelled out and began to cry which startled both Sans and Toriel.” M-My child! Is something wron- Oh dear…you cut yourself on your hand with the knives...” Toriel immediately began comforting Frisk as she cried into her mother’s embrace. Sans watched in confusion as to why the kid was screaming and crying.” You okay Frisk? Was that cut really that painful?” He questioned, wondering if a pun would help ease the tension, but he saw Frisk was really frightened by something.” Hey, Toriel, go get a wet towel and some bandages, I’ll stay here and comfort the kid.” He said. Toriel nodded her head and hurried off to the bathroom.” Frisk…what happened?” Sans asked while kneeling down beside Frisk which caused her to look away from him.” N-Nothing…I..” She suddenly leaned into Sans and began to sob.” I-I’m sorry. I’m Sorry. I’m Sorry. I didn’t..I DIDN’T!” Sans looked at Frisk, seeing how terrified she was his arms immediately wrapped around her slender frame.
“…Frisk, what did you see? I know it wasn’t one of those...dreams this time. Was somebody here? “ Sans questioned as Frisk sobbing soon turned into muffled sniffles. ”Y-Yeah, but it’s someone you don’t ever want to meet again...” Frisk sighed heavily before leaning and nuzzling up into the skeleton as best as she could. “ K-Kid…Erm…Well, just know I’m here for ya, kiddo.” Sans nervously looked down at Frisk, she never really clung to him like this before. Yet when he was about to ask her anymore questions Toriel came back and immediately cleaned up Frisk wound.” There my child all better. If you’d like to lay down in your room I wouldn’t mind. “Frisk immediately shook her head.” I’m fine, Mom. Sans…Sans made me feel better.” She smiled before moving back onto her feet.
“Thanks you two, I didn’t mean to freak out over a small cut. I was just probably scared I’d injure myself really badly or something.” She laughed it off while Toriel hands gently patted her head.” Well, from now on no more knife handling for you.” The two laughed it off, yet Sans knew there was more to it than Frisk was letting on, but pressuring the kid wasn’t going to help.” Looks like Frisk was going to have a…KNIFE time if she continued handling those knives.” He chuckled as Frisk pouted.” Not funny SANS!” She shoved him playfully until Papyrus called in Frisk to help them with the Spaghetti.
“Coming!” Frisk quickly ran over to Papyrus while Sans watched them.” Kid…what are you hiding? What did you see?” He thought to himself but shrugged it off. Sans knew he had to keep an eye socket on the kid from now on, their dreams were becoming more frequent and now Frisk seem to have been scared shitless by something. ”Kid, you better not reset…you promised. But, I also promised to protect you and keep you safe.” He sighed.” Heh, Tori you’ve got me promising left and right now.” Sans chuckled before walking into the kitchen to help his brother and Frisk.
An hour passed by and everyone was either stuffing their faces with food and drinks, popping fireworks, or watching the fireworks. Once the countdown was started everyone counted down until it was January 1st. The party lasted very long, but it finally ended at 4am. The majority of the monsters were passed out due to all the drinking or was just passed out due to all the excitement. Only one person was still up and that one person was Frisk.
“Chara why are you coming back? I didn’t take your offer so why...why…WHY! I just…I just want to make it up to them! I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY FOR GOOD!” Frisk sniffed as an ominous shadow watched her from a distance.
“Sorry partner but you won’t get away from me that easily. You think you could reset the world before accepting my offer. HAHAHAHA! You know nothing. I’ll be in control again and when I do?”
