Chapter Eighteen

Parties and Reporters

Shadow woke up the next morning and got jumped scared by the sleeping Sans on the couch. She forgot he stayed here last night. It took her a bit to shake off the scare, soon enough though she started cooking breakfast. When she finished she went over to Sans and started shaking him awake gently.

"I have food, be awake so you can eat it!" She called out.

Sans opened his eyes and stared at her, she could see that he was still rather tired, "It's morning?"

"Yes, Sans its morning. Now get up lazy bones, it's chow time!" Shadow pulled Sans off the couch and into the kitchen where she had breakfast set up on the counter with bar stools to sit on.

"You can make food?" Sans asked.

"I don't know, tell me yourself", Shadow smirked a little at him.

Sans tried the food and nodded in contentment, "It's pretty good Shad."

Shadow smiled in pride and finished eating the rest of her food, "Alright Sans I need to get ready for the party and so do you. Come to get me later okay?"

Sans started making sure everything was locked before coming back to her, "Alright, don't open the door for anyone. Okay?"

Sans gave Shadow a stern look, "Sans I'm not five. I know better."

Sans nodded at her, "You're gonna talk to Mettaton aren't you?"

"I really have to, I need to get on the news to announce becoming the Frisk for the monsters." Shadow sighed when she referred to herself as Frisk.

"You're better than Frisk. You'd never be a killer." Sans said putting a hand on Shadow's shoulders.

She nodded at him and pushed him away, "Get going I need to get ready."

With that Sans teleported out and Shadow went to get ready. She took a shower and got on her makeup. She put on some silver eyeshadow showed off her ruby eyes. She then put her hair up in a hairstyle that resembles Bell's from Beauty and the Beast. With a nod in the mirror, she threw on her silky rose dress and finished it off with a rose choker and a black rose hair flower. She slipped on her rose heels and called Sans.

"I'm ready Sans!" Shadow chirped.

"Alright, Shad I'll be right there to pick you up."

Soon enough Sans appeared and grabbed Shadow and teleported her back to his house. Once they got there Sans took the time to look Shadow up and down. His face turned a light hue of blue.

"You look really nice today Shad", Sans complimented.

"Oh no not really", Shadow said with a blush on her own face. When she looked at Sans her blush got darker. He was dressed in a tux with a red tie on, it was a rose red. Shadow had to admit Sans looked pretty good in a tux, "You don't look too bad yourself."

Papyrus soon came out and looked at the two, "WOWIE YOU TOO LOOK LIKE A COUPLE!"

Papyrus smiled at the two and their blushes got a few shades darker. Shadow gave Sans a small smile and he returned it with one of his own.

"Um", Shadow's shy voice rang out, "Thank you Paps."

She smiled at Papyrus and he returned it. Soon enough the three of them were on their way to the party. Shadow knew what she had to do, she knew this was going to be hard but she loved these monsters because these monsters were more human than the humans could ever be. They deserved to have equal rights and to be treated like everyone else.
