Undertale: Resurrected

Chapter Eight: Spooky Scary Skeletons

For the first time since he could remember, Gabriel was actually sleeping comfortably on the couch-beg. He'd never slept on something so soft before, curled up in a warm and fleecy blanket while surrounded by his friends. The boy was at peace, though it unfortunately ended quicker than he'd anticipated.

         The shifting of the other children eventually woke the small boy, though he simply adjusted his position and tried to return to his happy place. The background noises, however, weren't helping, and when a large thud was heard, he instantly stiffened, his eyes widening in surprise and fright.

         "I'm okay!" yelled a familiar voice, Gabriel recognizing it as Frisk's.

         Sitting up, the curly-haired child rubbed his blue eyes as he took in what was happening. Practically everyone was awake at the moment, Vera and Flare peaking over the back of the couch all while Daya was entertaining herself by plopping one of the blankets onto Austin continuously. At first, he was a bit confused and began searching for Via, only to remember that she was still in the hospital recovering from the pie. It made him sad, honestly, but he couldn't focus on that for long, not with what was happening.

         "What are you doing?" demanded a very confused Vera as she gave Frisk a strange look.

         "Looking for a tape measurer!" Frisk replied before zooming past them once again, the children each giving him a confused glance before someone else spoke up.

         "He's measuring the other room. Duh!" Flowey spoke, rolling his black eyes at the naïve kids.

         "Measuring the other room? What?" Once again, Vera was confused; she knew what a room was as well as what measuring things was, but at the same time, she didn't understand Frisk's reasons as to why he was doing such a thing.

         "Just- Whatever- I'm not gonna explain it to you idiots," said Flowey with a sour tone.

         "Hey!" Daya whined, Vera giving the flower a nasty glare as he simply huffed in annoyance.

         "What? Just telling the truth," was all Flowey said before Toriel suddenly called for them.

         "Children! Breakfast is ready!" she called, her voice airing from the room right across from them.

         "Breakfast-?"

         "Food!" Frisk suddenly made a reappearance as he dashed from the hallway and into the living room, only to end up in the kitchen dining room within what appeared to be seconds.

         "Food?" Daya suddenly questioned, each of the children exchanging glances before running after him.

         "Wait! What about me?!" Flowey yelled, waving his leaves wildly in an attempt to get anyone's attention. "I need food too! Someone come back here and grab me- Whoa!"

         Turning around, the temperamental flower took notice of the one who had picked him up; Gabriel. "S-Sorry Mr. Flower-"

         "-Flowey."

         "Right- Er-" Not knowing what else to say, Gabriel quickly moved to the kitchen dining room so he could hand him to Frisk. After all, the flower really unnerved the small kid, but he knew that if he didn't take him to the table, he'd probably just continue yelling until someone went to fetch him anyway.
