Welcome to the next chapter! Read on my dudes!

You and Angela had just finished setting everything up for your expected guests tonight, aside from the main dish on the stove still. Both of you head to the living room to sit down for a few minutes, or until they arrive. Angela's phone buzzes as soon as she sits down next to you on the couch. She pulls it out and checks it, "Huh, ok, so sans says that he's bringing frisk, cause Toriel couldn't watch her tonight. They're only like 10, so is it alright if we have another guest tonight?" You mull it over and take a quick look at the dining room table. "We'll need another chair, but Papyrus is tall so I'm gonna ask if he can get it from the garage. Other than that, they are welcome to come over! Heaven knows we have enough food!"

She nods and begins typing a reply, then sends it quickly, "He also said they'll be here in a few minutes." You hum in acknowledgment, wait, isn't Frisk the ambassador of all monsters?! Oh boy..you try to shake that fact off and turn the Tv on to National Geographic, because kids like that right? You guess so from the amount of kids at the zoo who always have plenty of questions for you and other employees. Plus, Frisk most likely wants to be treated just like any other kid right? "I know that face Y/n. You're worried about this meet up, right? There isn't a need to be worried! As soon as you really meet them, they'll practically be family to you!" You can always rely on her to make you feel better.

Angela's phone alerts her of a text, so she checks it. She giggles, "Go get the door." Is all she says before you're being pushed towards it. You look back at her quizzically, only to see her on her phone. You sigh, and reach for the door handle only for a voice to stop you, "Knock Knock."

Oh. Oh. You chuckle and answer, "Who's there?" A deeper chuckle sounds and a groan is heard from outside. "Adore." "Adore who?" You think you've heard this before but it's just too funny to pass up. "Adore is in my way. Mind letting me in?" You laugh and simultaneously hear a couple groans of annoyance along with a small chuckle. Opening the door you're greeted with the same group from the night of the incident. Undyne, Alphys, Papyrus and Sans, along with a kid who looks absolutely ecstatic to be here. The said kid immediately attaches themselves to your leg in a hug, which catches you off guard. "Oof! Uh, Hi there Bucko! You must be Frisk! Nice to finally meet ya!" They look up at you with chocolate brown eyes, and you've never been more thankful for your mom teaching you sign language since you were an infant because they start signing to you, 'Nice to meet you! Thank you for inviting us over here and for making food for us!' (A/n I actually do know sign language, and when signing they don't have proper English grammar structure like speaking people. But I'm gonna just type their speaking normally!)

Immediately, your first reaction is to sign back, 'I'm Glad you're happy to be here! Come on in squirt! I got the tv on for ya." They give you a look of admiration then run into your house without even a glance back, so you turn your attention to your other guests, who all have faces of shock. Without thinking you sign, 'What's the matter?' Before realizing you know how to speak, "Oh sorry! Sometimes I forget I can speak! But..uh.. Why do you looked so shocked?"

"W-well, I-its just th-that not a lot o-of humans kn-know how t-to communicate with th-them." Alphys tells you fiddling with her claws. "Ah, yes. Signing isn't a popular form of communication in society, but personally I love it! My mother started teaching me when I was just baby, and also, when I'm too lazy to open my mouth I use it. But enough about me! Come inside and make yourselves at home!" They all give you bright smiles, and what Angela said earlier suddenly makes a lot of sense. Everybody moves inside, but you receive a hard pat on the back from Undyne (Which you take like a champ). "Thanks again for inviting us over punk! Means a lot to us to meet a human like you! So we're gonna be BESTIES! Got it?!" You absolutely love this fish women's enthusiasm. "Hell ya! The Best-est of besties!" You reply giving her a fist bump.

You both share a laugh and make your way into the living room, her arm around your shoulders. When you see this many people in your living room, all in high spirits, you're filled with contentment and happiness. For once, in a long time, you don't feel like you and Ang are alone in this world. You head over to your spot on the couch, only to find a certain skeleton took it. Oh, this will not do.

"Excuse me skele-sir. I don't ask for much, but that's my spot. Sooo..if you wouldn't mind.." You hear a chuckle and look at Ang, now you know she was behind this. "Ang told me to sit here. She threatened to never serve me ketchup at Grillby's ever again." He says looking at the accused fire elemental. She gives a fake insulted face, then realizes she's caught and sighs. "Really Ang? That's a cruel threat, even for you. You can't just threaten to take away someone's ketchup privileges!" You wag your finger at her in disapproval. "You're only taking his side because you love ketchup almost as much as him, you weirdo." She chuckles at you. "My love of ketchup is irrelevant to this. You told him to sit in my spot, On purpose. You know that gets me fired up!" You hear gasps and chuckles from the audience you realize you've gained, then hear Angela sigh and motion for Sans to get up and out of your seat. All he does is slide down a bit, enough for you to sit comfortably. You gladly sit down, and suddenly Frisk decides to jump right up in between you two, which earns a grunt of surprise from both you and Sans, "kiddo! give a warning before you do that!" His answer is a chuckle, then they turn to you and ask 'When is dinner gonna be ready Aunt Y/n?' Woah. That..you weren't expecting them to call you that. You shake it off and reply, "I'm guessing you're a hungry lil' hooman? We can eat whenever everyone is ready actually!" You address the last part to everyone in the room. Which earns a chorus of 'whoops' and everyone stands up to move to the dining room.
