"oh? do I know this person you are planning on training with?" Papyrus asks seriously.

"Just a monster friend of ours from the underground." Alphys responds blandly.

"name?" He leans forward a bit and somehow I catch a word of his mesmerizing scent again. I force myself to look at Alphys who looks like she's struggling a bit.

"Thunder!" She finally comes up with. I have to bite back an annoyed groan. What a dumb name.. not to mention it's not exactly feminine.

"huh don't know them." Papyrus doesn't seem to believe the fake name. "I wanna come." He mumbles. "just to.. watch over Sans."

Sans rolls his pin pricks and crosses his arms, "I Don't Need Your Protection!" He huffs while glaring at Papyrus.

"I know bro, just want to meet this new friend is all." He shrugs and leans back in his chair. The scent begins to fade and I really appreciate it, though a part of me begins to miss the unique scent.

"Alright.. I Suppose I Can Allow You To Join Us." Sans nods then turns to Undyne to question her about this 'Thunder' character.

"what kind of name is thunder, am I right? it seem suspicious, right?" Papyrus asks me quietly.

"Yea, I know right?" We both laugh together, then as the laughter dies off Toriel comes over to the table and puts two plates filled with tacos down.

"Dig in! I'll get the pie ready." Toriel tells us in her soft, kind voice. Everyone thanks her, then people begin to grab what they want. I sit patiently until everyone is done and grab one for myself. To my surprise, the taco was really good! The last taco I had, which was also made by Sans, was really.. not good.

When I look around, everyone else seemed pleased too. Especially Papyrus, though I had a feeling he was over shooting it to make his brother even happier. By the looks of it, it was working. Sans' eyes were lit up and his pin price were shaped like stars. I quickly, but carefully, finish the rest of my taco then clear my throat. "Sans, that was really good! Thank you." I smile at him and he seems to get even more excited.

"I Am So Happy That You Enjoyed It! Though, Toriel Did The Most Work!" Just then Toriel comes back over to the table with a pie cut into 8 pieces. She chuckles as she placed it on the table and shakes her head at me.

"He is much to humble! I gave him a few tips, but he really did all of the work." She turns to face Sans, "You did really good, I'm proud of you." Sans begins to blush a bit at her words.

"Th-Thank You.." he replies shyly. Toriel chuckles again.

"Anyways, who wants a piece of this pie?" Everyone else raises their hands immediately, so as to fit in I also put my hand up. She puts a slice on each of our plates then grabs the left over tacos. She walks back over to the kitchen area and begins to wash the dishes. Something tells me she had a thing for keeping things neat and tidy. Her and Sans must get along well.

By the time I turn back around and tune back into the monsters and human sitting around me everyone was enjoying their dessert. Most were halfway through the treat already.

"You gunna eat that?" Papyrus asks from beside me. He had already finished his and was staring excitedly at my slice of pie.

"Yes!" I say quickly with a blush growing on my cheeks. I pick up my fork and begin to eat the pie quickly. It's really good! It actually reminds me a lot of Asgores' pie though it's not as sweet. When I'm about halfway through my pie I notice him still watching me, so I stop eating and slide my plate over to him.

"It's not as good as Asgores' pie." I whisper with a shrug. He quickly finishes the rest of my piece.

"Thanks. Also I agree, she adds something to it that he doesn't, but I've never worked up the nerve to ask." We both laugh.

"So you two seem to get along rather well." Chara buts in when our laughter begins to fade off. "Do you.. know each other from somewhere else, perhaps?" She raises an eyebrow at me and I glare back at her.

"well she seems familiar. her personality, her voice.. even her aura." Papyrus explains curiously, "but I can't remember from where.. and she says we don't know each other so.." The suspicion was clear in his voice.

"Oh well, are you sure (Y/n)?" Chara smirks as my gaze darkens.

"Of course." I say coldly but then snap back to my senses, I turn to face Papyrus and smile nervously. "You do seem a bit familiar.. but I can't think of any way I would know you."

"true. I don't really know many humans other then Chara. for some reason seeing a skeleton freaks humans out." He chuckles then shakes his head, "needless to say I don't leave the house much. so it is odd that I might know you, since you are a human." Papers finishes thoughtfully.

"But.. are you a human? It's not very kind to assume! Anybody could look like a human but actually be a monster." I glance at Chara then turn back to Papyrus. He was staring blankly at Chara and again my nerves spike.

Cozzy suddenly appears at my feet and begins to meow. I pat my lap and he jumps up and lays down right away. He stares up at me curiously as he begins to purr quietly. Comfortingly. Chara clears her throat and when I look up at her she looks rather annoyed.

"Oh right. I am human. If I was a monster I'd probably use my magic all the time." I laugh nervously. Then look over at Papyrus. He winked at me then stood up and, to my surprise, began to gather up the plates. He then turns and takes the plates to Toriel.

"Oh, thank you Papyrus." She smiles kindly and he nods.

"you mind if I bail? I have something I need to do." He says distractedly.

"If you must you can go." She sighs.

"thanks. see ya." He waves at her then turns and makes her way over to the exit. Just before he leaves, he turns and winks at me again. Then he waves and exits the room. I can hear the front door open and then close in the distance.

Where was he going?

(A/N): a bit short and rather boring, but I wanted to finish off this chapter arc so.. next chapter we will be moving on to something new. Something more interesting >ω<
