Living With Little Gasters

Chapter 6 (Better Than The Void)

(Nobody's POV)
As they sat beneath the tree, Y/n let out a sigh, relaxing against the tree's large trunk. Her head suddenly snapped towards the gasters when Fell suddenly yelled out "Shit guys!" I looked at Stars who he was pointing towards. "We forgot!" He then grabbed what was left of Stars's ice cream away from him. Stars looked to be almost vibrating, and his eyes where wide open. He had this weird goofy grin plastered across his face. "O-oh dear!" Y/n exclaimed, plucking up starts as he was about to tackle Fell for his ice cream.

"Hahahaha w-wow hahahaha!" Y/n laughed hysterically as Stars thrashed around in her hands. "I forgot you can't handle sugar!" Y/n admitted, scratching the back of her head. "Gee S-Stars out of anyone I expected that Swap would be the one to watch out for when it came to sugar highs! Ahahahaha!"

They all finished up the last bit of their ice-creams and talked for a while until y/n's phone rang. "Oh my Mom's calling" she explained after pulling the phone from her pocket. "Hey Mom, what's up?" Y/n asked. "Hi, Where are you?" She asked in a calm, sweet tone "Oh I'm over by the oak tree, ya know, the one right next to my childhood playground" She answered. "Ahhh I must've just missed you, I looked at the park and didn't see you there and...well anyway, the boys are getting bored so let's head back home ok?" Her mother explained. "Ya alright, I'll meet you guys by the park gate in a sec, baiii" y/n said before hanging up.

"Human...." Wing Ding spoke. "Yes?" Wing Ding took in a breath "I must ask you, to please keep our existence in this world a secret, our presence in your universe will be a short lived one and I'd prefer to have no further possible...complications of any kind..do you understand?" He explained. "Oh...of course, if that's what you want, then my lips are sealed" Y/n replied, pretending to zip up her lips. The little gaster let out a small sigh of relief
"thank you Human" he said with a small bow.

(Y/n's POV)
I nodded and looked down at the little sugar high Stars in my hand, wondering to myself... "how on earth I was going to do this? They're just so small, and fragile. What would happen if someone found out about them? Should I tell my family about them?........no....Wing Ding doesn't want anyone else to know, besides who knows how they'd react. For the time being, I guess it would be best to keep the gasters a secret until they can figure out a way home."

"Ok....I can do this, I can definitely do this, I mean...how hard can it really be?"

"Alright guys" I sighed out. "My Mom says we gotta head home now soooo, everybody back in the bag!" I exclaimed sweetly.

Once they were all safely in the bag, with stars tied up in my headphone cords to keep him from accidentally blowing our cover, I began to make my way over to the front gates of the park.

It want long before my family was within my sights. I quickly made my way over to them. We all hopped into the car and sped off towards my home, wanting to be there before traffic really hits.

I sat with my bag in my lap in the seat furthest to the back. When my mother questioned why I wasn't sitting with the boys, I simply and nonchalantly explained I wanted to put my legs up on the seats so I could lean back and have more leg room. But really I just didn't want to put a backpack full of little magic skeletons on the car floor where they'd be in danger over accidentally being kicked or stepped on by one of my brothers. Plus is they made any noise, it wouldn't be as audible.

So I leaned back against the side of the car, laying my feet on top of the seats, with my bag on my lap. Grabbing my phone from my pocket and unraveling stars from my headphone wires, I popped one one my earbuds in my ears and swiped through my favorite playlist until I found a song I was satisfied with. It was a calming violin cover of one of my favorite songs. The sound of the violin was just so calming, I always wished I could play violin some day.

Suddenly I heard a quiet "psst" and looked to see swap's little head poking out from the space of the bag I left unzipped. He motioned to the ear phone in my ear. I smiled and took the one that wasn't in my ear and dropped it into the bag. And pressed my finger against my lips. "Shhh" I softly giggled. I pulled the bag slightly closer to hear soft murmuring from the gasters. I could just make out what seemed to be Fell's voice , something along the lines of "the hell is this crap?" Followed by a quiet "ow" which I assumed was a slap to the back of the head received from swap, knowing them, and another voice I think was...hmmm....possibly wing ding? "....quite....charming taste....it's rather calming" and Swap say what sounded like "B you'll love this!"

Curiosity got the best of me as I decided to take a peek into the bag. To my amusement, all five of the gasters were huddled around the earphone, listening intently. Fell looked like he hated it, yet ever few seconds he'd scoot closer. Wing ding and Stars both looked peaceful, with their eyes closed, leaning against the fabric of the bag. I can imagine they'd be tired, who knows what they had to do to get out of the void. And B? B sat the closest to the music beside swap, who had the biggest grin plastered across his face, almost leaning right against the earphone with a blissful smile adorning his features.

He began to almost quietly hum along. As he slightly swayed from side to side. Swap looked to me and his smile softened. I smiled back before leaning back once again. Thinking of how I was going to help my new found friends.

It didn't take long for the music to cause me to drift away into a world of my own, and the half an hour drive home seemed mere moments.

Our car came to a slow halt and I sat up as my brother's notified my that we were home. Sitting up I carefully pulled my bag back onto my shoulders and slowly made my way out of the car.

I made my way up to our front door and into my room, locking the door behind me, placing the bag down cautiously on my soft bed and unzipping the bag. One by one I assisted each gaster out of the bag, setting them down on my fluffy bedsheets. "Welp guys, here we are...I know it's not much and I'll have to figure out a place for you to sleep and all but" I began shyly. "It's perfect!" Swap announced. "It's so pretty" he completed. I couldn't help but blush lightly "hehe thanks I decorated it myself" I replied.

They all scanned the medium sized bedroom, although to them it was far larger. "How lovely" Stars commented. Wing Ding nodded, quite liking the organized placing of everything and balanced color palette of the room. I looked to Fell who was also looking around with a slightly amazed look "Fell, what do you think?" Swap asked enthusiastically. Fell just replied with a scoff and looked away, his face turning red. "Whatever, ain't nothin special, you guys are acting like this is some five star hotel" he grumbled. "If there's anything you don't like Fell, I'd be happy to change it if it would make you more comfortable, after all, this isn't just my room anymore" I offered. Fell's blush darkened "no...it's.......*incoherent mumble*" I tiled my head "what?" I asked in confusion. "I said it's......ugh.......it's nice....I suppose" he almost gagged. With a snort and a short laugh I replied with a cheerful "thanks Fell" which made his snap him head towards me "WH-WHATEVER.........besides.....anywhere's better than the void" he huffed. They all nodded in agreement.
