         As Brandon walked downstairs, he stopped in the living room, where Toriel was reading one of her books before she left for work. It was about 6:00 A.M. & Brandon kept thinking to himself.

         "Do I tell them now", he thought. "I mean, I don't want them to be sad or anything, but how else are they going to know. I can't exactly play them a whole documentary about my life. Man, what do I do?"

         "just tell them the truth." Brandon heard Sans's voice in his head. He turned around & saw Sans was staring at him. They began to communicate through their minds.

         "You sure? Is it already that time now?"

         "you'll never know unless you try kiddo." Brandon nodded & decided to tell everyone about him & his past. He called everyone to the living room & was going to tell them about himself.

         "Is something wrong Brandon", Frisk asked.

         "No, nothing is wrong", he replied. "There's just something I need to tell you all." He took a deep breath & began speaking again. "The truth is..." He stopped speaking again. He couldn't do it, but he has to tell them the truth. "The truth is that I'm actually moving away soon. I didn't want to tell you because I figured that you would be sad that I'd be moving after a short amount of time." Everyone was surprised when he said this. Sans began talking to him through his mind.

         "what are you doing", he asked. "you're suppose to tell them the truth, not some bullshit lie they'll figure out in a few hours."

         "Now is not the time Sans", Brandon said through his mind. "You know that if I tell them the truth that they'll want me to leave & never talk to them again! Please, just let this go for now. Soon, I'll tell them." Sans nodded in agreement & kept silent.

         "Really", Frisk asked. "You're really moving soon?"

         "Yeah. As much as I don't want to, I have to. It's what my family wants. They even said I shouldn't be anywhere near you guys, but they already know that I won't listen to them about that, but yeah, I'm moving soon, & there's nothing that I can do. Sorry that you had to find out this way." With no reaction time, Frisk ran up to him & hugged him. He was shocked, but also knew that would be something she would do anyways. He began to hug her also.

         "Good luck then", she said. Brandon could barely understand her since her voice was muffled since her face was in Brandon's chest. "When you do move, let's hope you make good- no, great friends just like you did here." Brandon began to smile.

         "Thanks Frisk. I need that. By the way..." she looked up at him. "Can we talk in your room for a second? There's something I've been meaning to tell you for some time now." Frisk nodded in agreement & they both proceeded to her room. Everyone else began to do their normal routine. Sans walks up to Toriel & grabs her hand.

         "S-Sans, what are you doing", she asked surprisingly.

         "follow me", Sans said. "if he's gonna tell her what I think he's about to, it's best if you listen too!" They both walked up the stairs & up to Frisk's closed bedroom door. They became silent & could hear what was going on behind the door.

         "Sans, what is the meaning of this?" Sans held up his finger to her mouth to tell her to be quiet & listen. They began to listen.

         Brandon & Frisk are standing in her room. They went there because it seemed like the one place where they wouldn't be interrupted at all.

         "So, what do you wanna talk about exactly", Frisk asked.

         "I want to tell you something that I've been hiding from you for a long, long time."

         "Do you mean your journal?" Brandon was shocked.

         "Seriously, how many people have read my journal now", he asked sarcastically.

         "I have to say, you are a really good author." Brandon was confused. He thought that Frisk knew everything. "You have some interesting characters, but a few caught my attention, those being Chara & Asriel." Now Brandon knew why he was confused. He thought Frisk mistook his personal journal for the book he's writing. "I'm sorry about what I did. Why didn't you just tell us in the beginning who you really were?" Brandon had to tell her the truth now.

         "I thought you guys would push me away. I thought you guys wouldn't want anything to do with me, but here we are. I'm sorry about lying to you." He slowly sat down on the bed he's been sleeping in. "I guess I should pack my things & go home after school today." He stood up & began packing all of his things. Once everything was packed up, he walked up to Frisk & gave her a hug. Not just any hug, but one of the best hugs he's ever given to anyone. "I guess I'll be seeing you around." He went to open the door. Luckily, Sans & Toriel weren't there anymore. He walked out & looked back at Frisk & smiled. "Thank you for not being like the others." He shut the door behind him & walked down the stairs & to the door. He opened it & looked at everyone else, who were looking at him leaving. "I guess I'll see you all around then. Thank you for letting me stay here. Goodbye everyone." He shut the door & walked across the street, where apparently, the house he lived in was directly across from Frisk's. He went in his pocket & pulled out a key, unlocked the door, & walked inside the house. He shut the door & began to speak out loud. "I'm back!" A few seconds later, he saw a girl around her age in a black skirt with a black top run towards him. She stopped a few inches away from him.

         "Welcome back Brandon", she said. "So, how was it over there?"

         "What do you think "Mom"?"

         "You don't have to call me that anymore."

         "I know sis." He began to walk to a computer that wasn't far from him & turned it on. His desktop picture was what looked like a family picture with Toriel, Asgore, Chara, Asriel, & Brandon himself. "It's time sis."

         "It's time for that now? Are you sure about this?"

         "I'm positive. Begin CODE: Dreemurr."
