The Alpha League [ Completed ]

Chapter: 50

I get a phone call just as we leave out the front door of the mall.

'Hey Boss, it's Jackie.'

"Jackie? Where are you?"

'I'm sorry I didn't tell, but I had family matters to take care of and ties to break.'

"It's fine. As long as you're okay. I was getting worried. Let me know when you're coming back."

'Alright. It shouldn't be long, another day maybe.'

"Alright, be careful." I say hanging up the phone.

"ya wanna go to grillby's?" He asks me.

"I haven't heard that question in ages. Of course I wanna go to Grillby's." I say smiling. We teleport to the front door and walk inside getting a warm welcome from all the dogs and some of the wolves were there too. We walk up to the bar and take a seat.

"Long time no see you two." Grillby says. "What would you like?"

"whatcha want pup?" Sans asks me.

"Surprise me." I say and Grillby walks in the back.

"y'know it's been almost a year since we left the underground." He says nudging me.

"I know. I never thought I'd be up here with monsters, but it's something I'll never regret." I reply glancing over at him. "So about that body count you had. You know, when I first got there."

"oh c'mon, that was years ago. it won't even matter now." He says.

"I know. I'm just curious. Why won't you tell me? Is it that bad?" I ask.

"Fine. I had the highest out of everyone. There was one person behind me, but they only had 20." He says.

"Wow." I say laughing. "Then I must have been doing you a favor. There was always people who hiked the mountain that never came back. So that means you had a total of 26 kills."

"how didya know that?" He asks.

"46 people went missing up there." I reply.

"Smart. Real smart." He says and Grilby comes out with our trays of food. It looked like something they'd serve at a fancy restaurant.

"This is surprising." I say taking a bite and my face lights up. "It's so good." I say finishing my plate in seconds.

"thanks grillbs. well pup, let's head home." He says.

"Right. I didn't even notice it was dark outside." I reply standing up. I leave money on the counter and we leave out the front door only to reappear at the house. I went in and went straight to Sans and my room since Paps and I switched. I change into my pajamas and fall asleep upon hitting the pillow. In the morning, well more like the afternoon since I slept in, I got up and stretched and looked over at the clock. "2:00...... damn." Sans walks in the room right as I stood up.

"yous awake. that's good, let's head down and get some food. we got four hours to be ready." He says pointing to the bag that contains my dress. "i had it tailored so it could include ya tail."

"Thanks." I say weakly. "I'll be down soon." He leaves out and I throw on some sweats and a t shirt. I head down the steps where Sans and mom are sitting at the table.

"Morning Ray. How many pancakes do you want?" My mother asks me.

"Just two." I say walking over to the fridge and grabbing the orange juice. "You want juice or coffee, Sans?"

"i had coffee this mornin, juice is fine." He says.

"Your pancakes are on the table sweety." I hear the plate hit the table. "I'm gonna go for a walk through the woods."

"Alright. Be careful, wouldn't want you to get hurt." I say taking a seat at the table and pouring the both of us a cup of juice. My mom leaves out leaving us by ourselves.

"when do ya think she's gonna do it?" He asks.

"It's on and off so I'm not too sure, but that's not important right now. Where's LB?" I ask eating my pancakes.

"paps and lb went to the buildin to make sure everything was workin and Aurora went to Brandy's house." He says drinking his orange juice.

"Alright, and Jackie should be in today. We'll probably be gone before then though. Time seems to fly when you don't want to do something." I chuckle a little.

"don't worry, i'll behind ya every step of the way." He says rubbing my head.

"Alright." I say feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. I try to pass time by going for a run with the wolves and cleaning up around the house. That killed about two hours of time leaving us with another hour and a half to get ready.

"lb said they might not be done in time. i'll go and help, we'll jus be a lillate." He says walking up to me.

"That's fine. I can handle being by myself for a while." I say kissing his forehead.

"i'll see ya there pup." He says disappearing right before my eyes. I hop in the shower which shaves another 30 minutes off the clock. I style my hair and get dressed then I call Grillby to see if can drop me off. He arrives in one of the trucks. It was a royale blue SUV, he got out and opened the door for me. I climbed inside and still had about thirty minutes to spare.

"So, how do you feel about this reunion of yours?" He asks me.

"Not too excited, a little nervous. I wasn't the most popular in a good way. I want to face these fears head on." I reply looking down at the floor mat.

"That's good. You know we're behind you every step of the way. All the monsters here really care about you no matter what." He says.

"Thanks Grillby, you're awesome. I've missed having these little chats with you." I say laughing a little.

"Well, I have known you for 7 years now." He says.

"My favorite uncle. Don't tell Asgore I said that." I say giggling. "Where are they anyway?"

"They're on a trip right now." He says and the car comes to a stop. "Well, we're here Boss."

"Oh." I say sadly. I look out and see some faces that I recognize staring this way. Grillby opens my door and lets me out. "Thanks Grillby. I'll see you later."

"Anytime Boss." He says bowing before getting back in the SUV and driving off. I take a deep breath and walk forward into the building and all eyes are instantly on me. I hear snickering and laughing and I instantly feel regret upon stepping in here.

"Is that Ray?" Someone asks. "She's even more of a freak now. I thought she'd out grow that dog phase."

"I dare you to talk to her. Be careful dude she might eat you." Someone else says. I hear footsteps behind me.

"Ray? It's me Thomas." I hear a voice.

"I don't remember a Thomas." I say walking away and he grabs my shoulder. I instantly jump back with fear in my eyes.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." He says nervously.

"What do you want? To laugh? To make fun of me? Go ahead." I say averting my eyes, my ears drooping.
