Crashtale

Prologue: The Surface

I walk through the streets, the afternoon sun shining on my head. Monsters and humans walking next to each other, talking, being around each other. It's a beautiful sight, seeing all the monsters out of the underground. Even after two months it still gives me happiness. I have one hand in my pocket, holding on to the container. It has some food and a few bars of chocolate I managed to sneak in.

"Hey, kid. It's been a while. You've been busy lately, haven't you?" A voice behind me says, making me jump. I turn around. A short skeleton with a white shirt and black pants with a blue jacket tied around his waist had appeared behind me.

"SANS!" I yelled, hugging him. "It has been a while. It's great to see you again!"

"Geez kid, you have a strong hug. Great to see you too." He looked up at the sun. "Boy, it's really hot out today, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it i- Wait a minute! You're a skeleton! You can't feel temperatures!"

Sans chuckled. "Tibia honest, I thought you wouldn't notice."

"Oh my gosh," I groan, exasperated, but I still smile anyways. We walked down the street.

"So, how's it going? Being the Ambassador and all."

"Good. Peace has been made, the monsters are free, everything's perfect."

"That's nice."

"It is. How's Papyrus?"

"Oh, he's being as great as ever. Remember those cooking lessons you recommended? He's doing those now, and his food is really improving."

"Wow! I'll have to come over at some point to test it."

"How about tonight? I don't have plans."

"Sure! I'll ask mom." I grab my phone and find Toriel's number. I call her. "Hey mom, Sans was wondering if I could come over for dinner tonight. I'd go over there after hanging out with MK. Can I?"

"Sure, my child." She responded. "Just be home at 8:30. And no drinking a full bottle of ketchup again."

"Sounds good! Love you!" I hang up and give Sans a thumbs up.

"Great. I'll go tell Papyrus. See you tonight." Sans teleports away and I put my phone back in my pocket. I feel the container in there and remember why I was walking in the first place.

"Oh no..." I pull out my phone to check the time. "Shoot. I'm late." I run down the street towards Mount Ebott. I get there out of breath in a few minutes.

"Geez, what took you so long?" I hear a voice ask. I look up as a ghost with brown hair, calm brown eyes, a green and yellow striped shirt, and black pants, appears in front of me.

"Sorry..." I pant. "Got distracted..."

"What was it this time." They say, rolling their eyes, but smiling.

"Sans invited me over for dinner to try Papyrus' cooking. He said it's improving."

"That's good to hear. Maybe now it won't taste like trash."

"Chara! Be nice."

"You know I'm joking."

I do. Despite the fact Chara mocks Papyrus for his... not the best cooking, they really like him. But I glare at them anyways. "Yes, but it's still not nice."

"Okay. That was mean and I shouldn't have said it, I apologize. So did you bring food."

"Of course." I pull out the container and hand Chara a chocolate bar. Their face lights up and they eat it.
