Sans: It's alright, Eliver... *He gives a fake smile* Losing someone... Losing a lot.... It can make you act like that... *He hugs Eliver* C'mon, let's go insi- *His focus goes onto a car that parked in front of the house* Uh... One moment... *He walks to the car and a woman comes out* Hello...?
Woman: *She looks at Sans with a welcoming smile* Oh! Hello! I'm sorry that I came here so late at night! It's just... I think that you might have my daughter! Once I heard the news, I had to come here right away!
Sans: Your kid? What's their name?
Woman: Their name is Alice! They were one of the children that climbed Mt. Ebott! Are they inside?
Sans: *The happiness drains from his face* Um... C-Come on in.... I'll explain what happened... *Sans walks into the house with the woman, he makes a motion for Eliver to come in as well* Look... I don't know how to say this, but... Your daughter... She's- *Chara and Six are walking down the stairs, talking to each other in sign language*
Woman: ALICE! *She runs up and hugs Chara, Chara freezes, her face shows pure fear* You're here! *The woman lets go and Chara automatically hangs her head down and avoids eye contact*
Sans: Alice?? Her name is Chara...
Woman: *She looks a little bit aggravated* No. HER name is Alice.
Sans: Uh.... Okay...?
Woman: Alice, you're here! I can't believe it!
Chara: Um... Yeah.... I'm here...... {Whispers to self: And, I'd kind of like to keep it that way...}
Woman: *She looks a bit more aggravated* Heh heh! Don't be silly!! Of course you don't want to stay here! You wanna come home with me! Don't you? *The woman seems kind, she's smiling, and acting so kind, but her eye's are saying otherwise*
Sans: Heya brat! Looks like your family found ya again! And, you won't have to go back to Catherine, too!
Chara: Y-Yeah... That-
Woman: *Gasp* Did you cut your hair?!
Chara: No, I just clipped it up... *The woman reaches to the back of Chara and pulls out a clip, her hair drops down to her waist*
Woman: Wow! Now, isn't that better? You look more like a girl this way!
Chara: Um... Yeah...
Woman: *She smiles even more* Can I take her home? Please! I just want to spend time with my daughter!
Sans: Um... Well, Toriel adopted her... You should ask her. You seem nice, I'm sure that you two can work something out. She's in the kitchen.
Woman: Oh, thank you!
*In kitchen*
Woman: Hello! Are you Toriel?
Toriel: Hm? Oh! Yes, I am! May I help you?
Woman: Well... I'm Alice's mother! I just want to know if we can work something out where I could get to spend time with her!
Toriel: Well... You don't seem like you'd want to hurt Cha- Uh! Wh-What happened to her hair??
Woman: *She sets her hands on Chara's shoulder's, then holding a lock of her hair* Well, she's been keeping her hair up for some reason! But, doesn't she just seem like more of a girl with it flowing out?
Toriel: Oh! Well... It does look nice! How about you take her with you tonight? She's going to the beach tomorrow though! If you could return her here in the morning, that'd be great!
Woman: Why don't I just bring her to the beach myself?
Chara: Uh... I-I was going to go to the mall wi-
Woman: Not now, honey! The adults are talking! I'll even get her a swimsuit!
Toriel: Well... If it's really no trouble...
Woman: Of course not!
Toriel: Well, alright! And, you can stop by anytime! It's very nice to meet you, Ms...
Woman: Anders! But you can call me Maple!
Toriel: Alright, Maple! See you tomorrow!
Woman: Goodbye! *She holds Chara by the shoulder and brings her outside* Now, what color bathing suite would you like? Pink or purple? Maybe a sky blue? *Chara stops in the sidewalk*
Chara: Um... I-I was going to the mall for a swimsuit with Rocky and-
Woman: Are you questioning how I'm raising my own daughter, Alice?
Chara: M-My name is Chara for one.... And... I'm not questioning anything... I just... I wanna stay here... *The woman's face turns red and her eye's show anger, she grabs the top of Chara's head tightly and starts shouting angrily, Chara seems expressionless*
Woman: I BROUGHT I YOU INTO THIS WORLD AND RAISED YOU AS MY OWN! YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME, NOT TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH THESE PEOPLE WHO PROBABLY DON'T EVEN CARE FOR YOU!! WHEN YOU LIVED WITH ME I PUT YOU IN FRONT OF MY LIFE! NO MATTER HOW TIRED I WAS! DID ANYONE HERE DO THAT FOR YOU?!?! I DON'T THINK SO! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST ME?! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!! *She lets go of C̟̗͈͉͔̭͇ͤ̊̐̍ͤh̶̠̰̑̀̐a̫̐ŗ͔͚̞͕̲̋̓͗ͪ̈́̎a͕̘̼̣̩̫͓ͯ̃͐͑̔ͮ͜ Alice* *Exhale* Now... What do you have to say?
Alice: I-I'll take the purple one....
Woman: Hmm... Alright, purple it is! *Sans runs out the door, and to the two*
Sans: What are you doing?! You can't just yell at the brat like that!
Woman: *She sends death glares at Sans but smiles* Oh, come on! Words won't hurt her! It's not like I'm my sister Catherine! She actually hurts her kids!
Sans: That's not true! Words can hurt her!
Woman: Look! I'm just telling her the truth! Her name is ALICE! She has LONG hair! She is Human! She keeps doing the wrong things! All that I'm doing is showing her the light! Next thing you know, her entire life will be ruined!! And it'll be because I wasn't allowed in her life! *She crouches down and gently holds C̱̼͎͇̬̟̮̤̿ḧ͇̩͎̼̠́̅̇̂̅ͪ̒ͅà̙̜̰̌͆ͧ̊̅̓r̰̗̳̳̞̣̟̊͌ͦ̆̽̒̔ͩ- Alice's face* Isn't that right honey? Don't you want to come home with me? *Chara nods her head yes out of fear of being yelled at again* See? Come on, get in the car... *Alice gets in the car* Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go home with my daughter! *Sans doesn't know what else he can do or say*
