Somethings Changed

Dino Eggs

A while back I read a comment from a reader who expressed that dino parents must have a lot of miscarried kids if dino eggs are something that monsters eat on a regular basis. So I explained how they don't miscarry kids for them to give the eggs up and realized that this would be a very interesting chapter idea. To not only explain my headcanon about dino eggs and why monsters eat them regularly for stuff like scrambled eggs, dino egg oatmeal, as a baking ingredient, and all that. So CorruptedDemonSoul Thanks for the chapter idea!

Along with show Dream, Nightmare, and maybe even some Papyrus' reactions when they learn about this as well. I was mostly going to have the twins react to this information but also realized that I should also add in some of Papyrus' reaction as well.

It was another day for the skeleton family that lived in Snowdin. Sans had been working earlier that day along with Gaster, the two of them getting home sometime before school got out. Dream, Nightmare, and Papyrus had finished school for the day an hour ago. So Gaster decided to take them to the store. They needed to get some grocery shopping done as they were running out of food and ingredients to cook with. That and they also needed to get some soap for the bathroom. Gaster forgot to go shopping a few days ago like he normally does as he and the team were working on a project. So shopping for their groceries every other week just slipped his mind.

Nightmare thought. Walking alongside the cart that Gaster was pushing. Inside the cart Sans sat. His back pressed against the little metal bars on the narrow end of the cart. He was quietly playing his Pokemon game as they were all shopping. Some of the stuff they already got resting on his lap. Dream and Papyrus had gone off to a different area of the store once they got there. The two of them wanted to look at the different games and toys that were there. The three skeletons with the cart were in one of the two aisles that had a row of fridges being used to keep stuff cold. They had passed an aisle before that had two rows of freezers. They were closer to the milk, eggs, and cheese. Nightmare glanced around them. Looking at the faint reflections of himself and his family that were on the glass doors.

"Nightmare." Hearing his name made Nightmare snap out of whatever thoughts he was in. Looking back at Gaster smiling up at him. "Yeah?" He tilted his head slightly. Gaster was standing next to a fridge looking over the expiration date of the milk he was holding. Then glanced down at the purple ivory skeleton. "Can you please go and grab us some eggs?" He raised a brow at the milk carton. Opening the fridge again and placing the milk away. Deciding to grab a different carton.

"Sure thing Dad!" Nightmare happily walked ahead. Looking at the fridges that had the eggs label hanging above. Blinking as he looked at the egg carton labels through the glass. He was slightly confused and felt an odd bit of dread forming in his stomach as he read the labels of the eggs on the other side of the glass. One fridge was filled and the cartons say the eggs are chicken eggs. These eggs are not all the same size, big enough to fit into your hand, all came in the same shape, with a eggshell white coloring to them. While in the other fridge of eggs were filled with cartons of eggs with a few different labels. The primary label that he could see were dino eggs, with text under the large bold capitalized letters it said "Laid by different types of monsters". The eggs in the second fridge had all sorts of eggs. Oval eggs, slightly drop shaped, long ovals, and the sizes were also different for them as well. Then there were the colors, while some had a similar eggshell white coloring, there were some that had all sorts of colors like yellow, blue, cyan, purple, and even more colors in some of the cartons. The main label sign that was stuck to the fridge door read dino eggs. Some cartons said dino eggs, some said lizard eggs, bird eggs, snake eggs, along with a few other types of eggs.
