You and Your Bitty Pals

Chapter 2 Page 18

---(Y/N) P.O.V--

  As I worked, I noticed a group of kids watching the bittys in the playpen, their eyes wide with amazement. It brought a smile to my face to see the joy these tiny creatures brought to people of all ages. Occasionally, a customer would approach me with questions about the bittys, and I was always happy to share their stories. Some even asked if it was true that they had similar abilities to the original monster that they were cloned after the barrier broke. I told them their magic was mostly the same, but they weren't as strong, or that the attacks weren't as big as seen with an actual monster. One kid even asked what my theory was on why the bitties were here in the first place. I jokingly said that maybe a higher being of this world thought that writing about magic would be interesting. I think he thought that I was serious about there being a higher being of some kind, part of me hoped I didn't break him.

  After a while, I took a break and wandered to the playpen to check on my tiny friends. Papyrus and Sans were mingling with the customers. Papyrus was showcasing his personality, and his magic even spelling 'Cool Dude" with a mixture of small white and blue bones. Boss and Red were off to the side of the playpen talking with each other, and keeping an eye socket not just on Papyrus and Sans, but on the other bitties nearby. I couldn't tell what they were saying other than Boss looking prideful and Red just going along with whatever they were saying. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Seeing how they had become a beloved part of the bitty shop was rewarding. As the day went on, I continued with my tasks, ensuring that the shop remained clean and inviting—the occasional laughter and gasps of delight from customers interacting with the bittys added to the vibrant atmosphere. 

  Boss saw me and motioned for me to come here. I walk to the edge of the playpen near them. "Howdy, Boss and Red how are my two handsome skeletons doing?" I say with a small wave. I could tell I just boasted Bosses' ego even more. Red on the other hand tried to keep his usual grumpy demeanor but couldn't help but look a little happy. "Nyeh! Not terrible though I wish these fools would quiet down more." I chuckle slightly. "Now (Y/N) you haven't been letting anyone push you around have you?" I hear Boss say in a stern tone as he crosses his arms. I quickly shake my head, "No no no. Not at all! Promise!" Boss still looked at me unconvinced. "Then where were you? None of us saw you for a while." I look away in slight awkwardness. "Oh, I'm just doing a trial run of some new tasks. If I do well then I can get a higher pay and have a little more responsibility around here. But Cry said if it doesn't work out we can try again another time. I... hope I can do well at this, even if..." I pause for a moment. "If it is a little heartbreaking." I see Boss look slightly concerned. "What is it?" I rub the back of my head. "I'm helping take care of some of the bitties who...who've been hurt by people or got into some kind of accident." Boss and Red perk up at this. "Is that it?" I hear him say with his arms crossed. I look at him in confusion. "I swear brother our human can be such a worrier." I see Red agreeing with his brother. "Ya got that right bro. After all, she took in four bitties who are pretty fucked up in the skull." I saw how Red pointed to his skull with a wicked grin, and how Boss nodded with his arms still crossed. "Indeed. Especially since we caused her so many problems. So this trial run should be easy for her to take on, and do with the utmost care and ease. As should be expected of someone associated with me The Great Boss!"

  I was slightly confused but then it hit me like a ton of bricks they were trying to encourage me. "Heh. You both are the best. And Boss I will do my best to live up to your expectations and do my best to go above and beyond." I say with a warm smile. "Oh and don't say that about being fucked up or that ya caused me problems." I say in a whisper so the kids don't hear me cursing. I see how they both chuckle. "Good. Now I believe Papyrus wants you." Boss then starts shooing me away and I chuckle at this. I go to where Papyrus is talking to some people about bitty adoption, with Sans nearby. I saw how Papyrus' eye sockets lit up. "Hi (Y/N)!" I hear him say excitedly. "Hello Papyrus. I see you got the audience with ya, huh?" I see him nod excitedly. "Yes! I'm telling them how wonderful it is to adopt a bitty! Just like you did with me, my brother, and my friends!" I chuckle. "That's true and let me tell you all that it was the best decision I ever made." I saw how Papyrus beamed at me with such a happy smile. "Yay! I'm so happy you think so!" I chuckle as the people around me do the same. "Where were you though? Me and Sans didn't see you doing your usual tasks." I looked at him with a warm smile. "Oh, I had to do something else today. I'll tell you later when we get home. Now I have a question for you." I saw how Papyrus tilted his head to the side. "What is it?" I chuckle. "Are you showing everyone how cool you are?" 

  I saw how Papyrus puffed out his chest. "Of course! I'm showing them how well I can control my magic! Oh, and how well I can get through an obstacle course made of my awesome bones!" I clap happily. "Good! Everyone must see how cool you are!" The people around me started to laugh warmly at this moment. "Now my second question...are you making sure Sans isn't stealing or sneaking in ketchup from the break room?" I say in a somewhat loud whisper. I see Papyrus nodding quickly. "Yes! I've been keeping an eye on my lazy brother, so far all he's done is sleep and tell those horrible puns!" I try to keep my chuckles down as he stomps his foot on the ground in annoyance. "Oh, come on Papyrus you know they make you crack a smile." Papyrus gives me a shocked look. "They do not! They are awful and terrible!" I give a small grin. "Aww come on Papyrus throw Sans a bone ." I gave an evil chuckle as Papyrus groans. "Nooooo. Why (Y/N)?" I make my quick getaway hearing the people around me laugh warmly at me and Papyrus.
