Chapter 2: Dinner With A Skeleton

You tossed and turned in bed that night.

You dreamt of something red gushing out of something white, and the glint of a knife in your peripheral vision. You saw a glowing object, too blurry to make out, and heard a noise like glass shattering. The object seemed to be the thing to shatter, and as the pieces fell to the ground, the light went out.

You don't know why, but you couldn't help the tears that further blurred your vision. The thing with the blood gushing out of it collapsed, and seemed to grow smaller. You dropped to your knees.

Your vision focused enough to see a pile of dust on the ground, but it was unlike any dust you had ever seen. It sparkled and shimmered like ground up diamonds, and you could see a bit of fabric under the pile of dust. You reached forward, and pulled it up. It was a dusty blue hoodie, with bright white fur lining the hood. It seemed familiar to you, but you couldn't tell why. Fresh tears rolled down your cheeks, and you looked to your left hand. A large knife was firmly gripped in your hand.

You saw something red reflecting on it, so you bring the blade closer to your face. It was your eyes. Your eyes glowed a bloody crimson, and in the light of it, you could see an enormous smile on your face. You dropped the knife in fear, jumping back. You touched your face, to find no sign to the disturbing smile, only the tears on your cheeks drying. You looked back at the pile of dust, and felt a wave of sadness.

What did it mean? Why is a pile of dust causing such a reaction?

You carefully fold up the hoodie, and gently lay it on top of the disturbed pile of dust. Your vision fades to black and you bolt upright in bed, covered in sweat. You feel something wet trailing down your cheeks. You touch a hand to your cheek, to feel tears running down them. You remember the nightmare vividly. It takes hours of mindless t.v. To make you feel back to normal.

A few days later

You walked down the street, breathing in the chilly air, as you held a warm cup of coffee in your hands. You had stopped by your own workplace, and challenged one of your coworkers to make you a drink. You ended up with a gingerbread latté, while you would have preferred something with peppermint, you still enjoyed the warm drink. You looked up at the sky, seeing the thick belt of clouds coming over the mountain. It might snow soon, so that's why you were bundled up.

You wore beige calf-high boots with a fur trim, blue skinny jeans, a cream-coulored open front cardigan (look it up if you're not sure what that is), and a light grey circle scarf. You were heading to the park in the center of the city, as you wanted to sit on a bench and watch the lake in the center. You liked watching the ducks this time of year. The sun was just beginning to set, and you were going to sit for a bit before heading home for dinner. You step into the park, heading down a trail leading to the center.

You look up at the sunset as you're walking, so you don't hear the fast approaching footsteps. A very tough-sounding womanly voice broke you from your thoughts. "WATCH OUT, PUNK!" You look up to see a very muscular fish monster running full speed towards you. You step to the side of the path, but you didn't notice the monster behind her as he stepped out to the side to pass her, laughing a hearty 'Nyeh Heh Heh!' He was too busy trying to show up the fish monster that he didn't see you, and you didn't have time to move. He collided with your small body, knocking you backwards. You were falling towards the path, but a strong hand grasped yours and pulled you upright.

You felt wet warmth soak into your shirt and scarf, and once you were upright, you looked down to see the remains of your coffee covering your front. You groaned in frustration, and tried to squeeze the excess liquid out of your scarf. That was your favorite one, too. You heard a gasp. Well, actually you heard a male voice shout 'Gasp!' You looked up, to meet the empty eyesockets of a seven foot tall skeleton. You looked over to the fish lady, and realized that they were on t.v. when the monsters emerged from the underground.

You realized the skeleton was talking to you. You looked back at him. "I'm So Sorry, Human! I Spilled Your Drink All Over Your Clothes!" You tried the lighten the mood. "Well, at least you caught me." The fish lady laughed loudly and suddenly, slapping the tall skeleton on the back with a force you were sure would make you faceplant. "I TOLD you the human wouldn't be mad!" You smile and decide you introduce yourself. "I'm Y/N. It's nice to meet you, even though under the circumstances." The tall skeleton beams at you and continues the introductions. "My Name Is The Great Papyrus! It Is Very Nice To Meet, You Human, although I am still sorry for spilling your drink on you."

You looked over to the fish lady. She thrusts her hand towards you "And I'm Undyne, Punk! Nice To See You Aren't A Weenie About Monsters!" You grabbed her hand, and she shakes it hard enough to make your whole body jerk with the movements. You faintly feel warm scales under your hand. You thought they'd be wet or slimy, but they were surprisingly dry. She releases your hand and you have to right yourself. You feel the coffee in your clothes getting cold and sticking to your skin, but decide not to show it. "I'm actually super interested in monsters! My parents used to tell me stories about nice monsters that would protect you from bad people and never let me believe that they would hide under the bed and wait for you to fall asleep and drag you under. I actually was super excited when you guys broke the barrier and came to the surface. You see, I only moved here to be closer to the legends and always wished it was true, and, oh gosh, I'm rambling, aren't I? Sorry."

Undyne was looking at you quite surprised at your excitement for monsters. Then she burst out laughing, again. "Oh Man, You're A Great Human, You Remind Me Of My Girlfriend!" She went to clap you on the back, but stopped when she realized what she was going to do. Papyrus stepped forward. "Human. To Make It Up To You For Spilling Your Hot Drink All Over You, I Will Invite You To Dinner So I May Make It Up To You By Making You Friendship Spaghetti!" You were excited, but then you remembered your clothes situation.

"Aw, man, I wish I could, but I'm covered in cold coffee. Sorry." Papyrus looked sad for a moment, then brightened when he had an idea. "That's No Problem, Human. I Can Simply Drive You To Your Abode So You Can Change!" You thought about it for a moment. "Aw, what the hell. Let's do it!" Papyrus clapped in glee. Undyne reached over and pulled him into a headlock, giving him a hard noogie. Papyrus flailed. "DO NOT NOOGIE THE SKELETON!" He shouted. Undyne laughed. "Then You Better Have Fun, Nerd! I Gotta Go Back Home To Alphy!" She released him, and, like a flash, she was off.

Papyrus straightened himself, then looked to you."Alright Human, Off To Your Home!"
