At A Chain Buffet the Next Day. . . 

Sans kept himself in control now. Even though he put Frisk through a ton of pain, she still used her big heart to forgive him. She even thanked him for the approach, and not waiting. He saved the Underground, and he probably saved the little ones' life. 

Yeah. He knew all that. Still didn't make him feel better. But, it was what it had been. And he kept his promise last night about whatever she wanted. Asriel and Undyne had left to take her pets to some kind of a daycare center in a pet store chain, while she went to the place she wanted. Her mouth was practically drooling when they got there. 

Ooh. Eats, eats, eats. Frisk tried to hide her hand rubbing as she moved into the establishment. Okay, it wasn't exactly the best place in the world, but she loved it there. And after all the hell she'd been through, it was time to visit a good old fashioned chain buffet.   

Frisk didn't always have a favorite thing to eat, so buffet places that had decent food and variety was really her thing. Chicken, beef, fish, poultry, vegetables and so much more.  It's even the same decoration as the one in my community. She reached to her side for her purse, ready to grab her card, when she looked down. Her purse wasn't there?  

"Sup?" Sans said from behind her.  

"My purse. My purse isn't here," she said. Oh yeah. She touched her head. "Nevermind. I can't believe I did that." 

"It's fine, probably habit." Sans moved forward toward the line. "What the heck is this? There's just gobs of food."  

"Yes, variety," Frisk said. "Not really a high-end meal, but it's good. Choose whatever you want." Pink fish. 

Sans gave the person up front his card, making Frisk feel a little self-conscious. She really needed to get her card. What happened to her own money? Where was her purse? Had it been in the shed? Then again, I am supposed to be letting him feel like he's more in control so he's happier. And I'm sure after last night . . . She noticed Sans snapping his bony fingers in her face.  

"Hey, stay with me," Sans said. "You really need to eat before you start that fainting thing again."  

"Yeah. No, I'm not fainting." Just feeling way too dependent. Not really her style. Then again, she knew Sans wanted to help take care of her. Um, yeah, but then he stabbed her. But he had good reason, stop it. He'll read you and feel bad. She moved forward to the center and grabbed a tray and a couple of plates to take her mind off that. "Just go and pile on whatever looks good. Sitting is just behind the buffet."  

"Pile on whatever looks good," Sans joked, "holy heck, that would be the end of Grillby's or MTT's if it offered that. Let's see . . . I don't recognize anything. You and your human food. Aren't there burgers?"  

"Maybe? It changes as time goes by." Frisk pointed to the signs right below the food before she took off toward her own love. Except some things. Like the Fish. That pink fish, whatever it's name is, I want that. Where was that? Pink. Fish. Come on, they always have that pink fish. Dangit. She wanted that. She came down almost just for that.   

Aha! She saw it at the end of the last buffet. There was only a small sliver though, maybe, by the time someone was done. Dangit. No. She smiled to the person who was right in front of her pink fish. "Hello, hi. I'm Frisk."
