Chapter Eight: Anime

~Your POV~

Breakfast was a mostly silent affair, the events of last night still fresh in our minds. It was mainly awkward between me and Chara, who was refusing to even glance at me. So she remembered our 'dream' last night.

How come we were having these joined dreams? Were they even dreams? Were we actually getting sent to the VOID every time we went to sleep? No, that can't be possible.

I finished my cereal and hastily went to the kitchen to clean the bowl. Frisk followed me, us having finished at the same time. We silently put the dishes in the sink, Toriel having offered to clean them for us. We decided not to argue with her, if she wanted to do something she would do it.

Frisk suddenly gasped, and I shot my head around to see Chara was whispering something in Frisk's ear. By Frisk's expression, it clearly was something scandalous. Frisk swatted at Chara, like an upset cat, but their hand just phased right through her. Chara chuckled, then caught me looking at her. Her smile dropped, and she looked away.

"Is everything alright between you two...?" Frisk questioned, having noticed the tension between me and Chara. Chara didn't answer, and I literally couldn't. I simply nodded, not making eye contact with either of them.

I walked out of the kitchen, to see Toriel had left. Frisk didn't see this as odd, and went over to the staircase that led to the rest of the Underground.

"Wanna come to Snowdin with me? Papyrus wants me to try out his new spaghetti recipe." Frisk asked, shivering a little at the idea of trying spaghetti. I nodded, wanting to see Sans again. I still had so many questions, and I needed to borrow some more science books.

"Well what are we waiting for? Sans is probably talking to Toriel right now, he can teleport us to his house."

After a few minutes, we arrived at the big purple door. Toriel was talking to someone on the other end, but stopped when she spotted us.

"Is it alright if we head out? Paps wants new spaghetti testers." Frisk questioned, and Toriel nodded with a smile.

"Have fun you two! And stay safe! And be back before nine!" Toriel exclaimed as we walked out the door. We chuckled and nodded, the door slamming behind us.

Frisk and Sans did a secret handshake, I felt a knaw of jealousy on my SOUL. It had been so long since I've had a best friend. Chara seemed to be having the same thoughts as me, she was staring at the ground and she had a slightly sad expression on her face. Another surge of sympathy for her pulsed through my body.

Sans had noticed me looking at what he thought was thin air, then comprehension dawned on his face. Just as quickly as it appeared, his normal smile replaced it.

"Well we shouldn't keep Paps waiting." Sans said, extending his arm out to both of us. We both grabbed onto it, and I felt the odd sensation that was teleporting. In the infinitesimal second that the world was changing from outside the RUINS to the skelebros house, I saw someone in the darkness. It happened way to quickly to see any details on the person, but they were wearing all black and they seemed to be wearing a mask.

My feet hit the carpeted ground and I stumbled, gripping tightly onto Sans' arm. He looked at me in concern while Frisk ran to the kitchen where there the sound of pots and pans clanking together was heard.

"You alright?" Sans asked as I steadily got back onto my own two feet. I simply nodded, deciding not to mention the figure I saw. I might not have seen it at all, and it was just something my mind decided to trick me with. Or it was an oddly shaped tree. But I knew those explanations were just me lying to myself. I knew what I saw.
