Monster Town

Welcome to Monster Town

Chapter one:

Welcome to Monster Town

I looked over the pair of skeletons standing in front of me, the tall one was wearing what to appears to be leggings and...hot pants. I'm not the one to be judging this skeleton-man's fashion choice. Partly due to the elephant in the room, which was why I, a human, manning the receptionist stand of a monster inn? This was Daisy's job for christ sake! Where the hell was that damn rabbit! Oh yeah, I mentally rolled my eyes her mother needed her.

Letting out a soft sigh, my eyes flicked but to where the skeletons were standing a moment ago. Wondering if they were still here. Yep and still eyeing me down. Swallowing hard I gave them a small nervous smile. God, it's been about an hour!! They should have been back by now stupid rabbit monster people things.

Now members of the walking dead are here! These two boneheads staring at me rather hard. I'm sure they'd seen humans before, after all, they moved into a town, which was the home of humans.

Since I've arrived at this small town; I've hardly seen any humans here. They all must have moved out during the first year of the monsters being above ground and making the small town the new monster capital. It's been roughly three years since they've come to the surface, so this shouldn't be new.

"HUMAN!!!" the tall one finally opened his mouth.

"Um...yes...sir...?" I replied

"WHERE ARE THE RABBIT MONSTERS"

"Out?" I looked down at my notes before I hastily corrected myself "o-oh, I mean they left about an hour ago, and haven't returned...as of yet". I watched as the tall one nodded. The smaller one was oddly quiet, staring at me with those white pinpricks it made my spine shiver.

"I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS!!!" he loudly exclaimed as he puffed out his chest proudly "HUMAN!!!"

"Yes"

"YOUR SKIN!!! IT'S THE COLOR OF CHOCOLATE!!!" he pointed at me, his finger inches away from my face. Frankly, I was taken back at this comparison, welp that was something new. I was expecting maybe something along the lines of 'you look like you've just rolled in mud' or 'did bathe yourself properly?' I'm used to being compared to being dirty by other monsters...but never chocolate. A chuckle passed my plump lips before it turned into full blown laughter.

"Yes, I guess it is I'm what you'll call a person of color, African American, black...but I prefer the title Jamaican" I let my accent slip at the last part. My smile growing wider by the second when I see the tall skeleton was actually listening to me!

"SANS, DEAR BROTHER!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT!!! HUMANS CAN COME IN COLORS!!!" Papyrus exclaim happily. So, the short one is named Sans, I leaned to the side to get a better look at this 'Sans' character. He was rather short with a wide grin on his face, what the hell was he smiling about? San's smile grew wider as he gave me a lazy wave. Unlike his brother, he had an extra pair of canines where his incisors should had been. They were just shorter than but just as sharp as his main canines, damn that's freaky.

"Sure, did bro" his voice was low...deep and raspy it had a lazy drag to it. Makes sense since it looks like he didn't even try to get dress. I MEAN LOOK AT HIM!!! HE'S WEARING A TEE-SHIRT, A BLUE PAKA AND ARE THOSE HOUSE SLIPPERS!!!! I squinted my eyes at him, oh my god his shirt has stains on it, slob.

"Hey, buddy" he leaned against the counter, still smiling I might add, leaving those double canines on full display "would ya like ta get somethin' ta eat...since there's no one here" he winked at me. My eyebrows furrowed together as my face grew hot, is he flirting with me? No...he's a skeleton they don't flirt...do they?

"Um...as much as I would love to do that...I can't" I frowned slightly "I gotta watch the INN for the rabbits". His smile fell slightly seeing that I couldn't go with them

"SEE BROTHER!!! OTHER PEOPLE AREN'T LAZYBONES LIKE YOU!!!" Papyrus folded his arms and nodded "YOU COULD LEARN A FEW THINGS FROM THE PLUMP HUMAN!!!"

Oh, so he noticed that I'm on the chubbier side for normal humans. My hand ghosted over my rounded stomach, it wasn't that bad if I sucked it in...it looked almost flat but it still had that damn bump only smaller. In the middle of my self-pity, my phone went off, jumping I quickly picked it up. Oh, a text! Reading it I groaned inwardly, finally.

"Hey, Sans...about lunch...are you still willing?" Sans looked back at me his grin returning with full force, I stepped out from around the counter. Sans only came up to under my nose, to tell the truth I'm not that tall either.

"O' course"

"PLUMP HUMAN WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!!! I THOUGHT YOU HAD WORK!!" Papyrus gasped.

"Let's just say my services won't be needed anymore" I gave a dramatic sigh; I wasn't telling a lie. Daisy just texted me, saying her mom would be back any second now.

"HAVE YOU BEEN FIRED"

"Nah...Daisy's mom is coming back..."

"OH"

"Let me get my sweater and I'll be right back" they nodded as I retreated upstairs to get my hoody, with was basically a panda. It had the ears and tail along with the cute panda markings. I never knew why, but wear clothes that mimicked Pandas made something inside of me feel right. Slipping it over my head I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Smiling slightly revealing my larger than normal canines, to tell the truth seeing Sans's made me feel a bit better about mine. Then I saw the train wreck that was my hair, god my hair is a mess. How could they not pointed that out, grabbing a brush and scrunchie I pulled my massive mop hair back into a make-shift ponytail.

Looking back my reflection in the mirror I noticed white in my hair, da fuck? Holding the brush up to eye level noticing white hairs tangled in with my black ones. Gods, I hope the girls and I can move into our new home soon, it's not that I'm not ungrateful or anything. Daisy had been a big help. Talking us into moving to this rather lovely town, but living with her family is a different story...so many siblings.

The paperwork is done all I need now is the keys, so the girls and I can start moving our things in. With another drawn out sigh, I returned downstairs to see the brothers by the door backs facing to me.

"Hope I didn't take too long" I gave a weak smile tucking my hands into the pockets, Papyrus was the first one to notice at me.

"NONSENSE PLUMP HUMAN!!!"
