Horror sighed, School was over, and now he had six long weeks at home, "this is just great" Horror muttered. His house was completely empty, no one other than him was in the house, thankfully.

The skeleton sighed, "I doubt anyone wants to hang out now, it's to late" Horror said to himself, Horror frowned, finding himself bored. Horror thought about Paperjam, and frowned in worry, 'I hope he's okay... it's not like Paperjam to ignore everyone' Horror thought worryingly, 'for all we know he could be..' He paused.

Horror shook his head quickly, 'stop thinking like that' He scolded himself. Horror then looked up to the clock and saw that it was 5 PM, "sh*t.. I need to make dinner" Horror muttered. He scattered over to the kitchen as fast as possible, not wanting to waste any time. Once Horror reached the kitchen he quickly looked through all the cupboards but found nothing, 'oh no.. i don't have enough time to get Anything...' Horror thought in worry, scratching his head, "sh*t sh*t sh*t! what am I going to do?" Horror whispered harshly to himself, Eye-sockets wide. He checked the clock again out of habit, '5:25... oh no' Horror thought, running around the kitchen in a frenzy. Horror then re-checked the cupboards multiple times, hoping to find something, but unluckily, he found nothing to work with, 'if I leave now I...' Horror thought, but midway He was cut off from his thoughts by the loud sound of a door slamming, Horror's eye-sockets widened in fear.


Killer sighed, frowning, "what's got you in a bad mood?" His adoptive sibling asked, "eh, it's nothing peril" Killer responded, Peril frowned, and replied, "Really? I doubt that. C'mon, you can tell me what's wrong" Peril insisted, sitting next to the pale-boned skeleton. Killer sighed, "You see... I don't even know what is wrong, I just.. got this feeling something bad is happening right now" Killer told Peril, Said human frowned, looking at their brother worryingly, "hey, I'm sure everything is alright, maybe you just miss your friends" Peril soothed, trying their hardest to cheer up their brother, "if you want, you could call one of them" Peril said, smiling at their younger brother, Killer nodded, "okay.. let's call Horror" Killer replied.

Killer frowned, putting the phone down, Peril looked at their brother worryingly, "he won't pick up" Killer told Peril, the feeling getting even worse, Peril sighed, "Maybe he's just busy, doesn't he have a brother? maybe he's hanging out with him" Peril suggested, looking down at her brother, He nodded, "yeah... I've never met him though, I've never been at Horror's house to see him" Killer claimed, shrugging. Peril sighed, "What about Dust? I'm sure he's not busy, call him" They spoke, Killer nodded, and called Dust, "Hello?" Killer heard him reply, Killer smiled, "Hello Powder!" Killer teased, "ay! don't call me that" Dust replied angrily.


Lust smiled sweetly at Ink, "Thank you for this Mr. Ink" Lust spoke, Ink smiled back, while keeping his eye-sockets on the road, "it's a pleasure, you don't need to thank me, and a told you, just call me Ink while we're out of school" Ink insisted, glancing at Lust. Lust continued to smile, his grin somehow getting larger, "Okay Ink, I'll keep that in mind" Lust replied. They stayed in a comfortable silence the whole ride.

Once They reached Lust's house, they both exited the car. "I hope you have a wonderful summer holidays Lust" Ink said, smiling. Lust nodded at Ink, and replied, "you to Ink" Lust replied, Ink nodded, "see you soon then" Ink told Lust, heading to his car. Lust suddenly spoke, "urm, Ink, wait!" Lust exclaimed suddenly, Ink paused, looking at Lust, "yes Lust?" He asked, half of his body in the car, "I..  you see, I was wondering if you.." Lust sputtered out, "wanna hang out soon..?" Lust finished, whispering. Ink laughed, and shook his head in amusement, He walked up to Lust and gave him something, "Have a wonderful summer Lust! see you soon" Ink said, before driving away. Lust fell out of his strance-like state, and looked at his hands. He found a piece of paper, Lust looked at the piece of paper in shock, before going a light Purple, "damn him" Lust grumbled, shoving the paper in his pocket.


Dust smiled slightly, and put down the phone, "who called you? a boyfriend?" Solar asked, grinning at her friend, Dust shook his head in amusement, "nah, it was Killer, he seemed... worried for some reason" Dust replied, trailing off at the end of his words. Solar shrugged, "eh, you said something happened to that Paperjam friend of yours? could be that" Solar reasoned, Dust nodded, "yeah, you're right" Dust agreed, seemingly satisfied with Solar's answer. Suddenly, the door was thrown opened, and revealed Chara and Fell, "hey guys, where have you two been?" Dust asked, looking at his two friends. Chara grinned, "no where in particular, though, guess what happened to fell" Chara replied, still grinning like a maniac, Fell glared at them, "no, don't you dare you demon" He spat, glaring at them, Chara, seemingly unaffected by Fell's harsh words, begun to explain what happened to fell, a piece of cake, and a street lamp.

Solar burst out in laughter, "you're telling me you did that all for a piece of cake!?" She asked, Fell glared at her, but nodded. Dust snorted, but it quickly turned into full laughter once he saw Fell's mad face. Chara calmed down and then grinned, "anyway, guess who managed to get mum to make some chocolate -extra chocolate- brownies?" They asked, Solar smiled like a child, "Really!? where are they?" She asked, bouncing like a little kid, Chara grinned, "come, mum's finishing them up right now" They replied, slipping into the kitchen.


Fresh, Gradient and Undyne frowned in worry, "he's still sleeping? are you sure he's not sick dad?" Gradient asked, "yeah bro, that can't be right" Fresh said, looking in the direction of Paperjam's room. Error sighed, "he hasn't... be sleeping great recently. Keeps waking up from Nightmares.." Error replied, worry edvient in his eye-sockets. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from down the hall, "huh? Paperjam? you awake?" Error asked, walking in the direction of the sound, Gradient, Fresh and Undyne could hear a muffled, 'yeah, it's me. who else could it be?' After that, a much louder voice replied with, 'I don't know, maybe Geno. Anyway, you should go back to bed, you didn't sleep at all last night'  There was a whine of protest, before the sound of feet getting quieter and quieter. After a few minutes, Error reappeared, a small, forced smile in his face. "Hey, how about I get the Manopoly board game out for you three" Error suggested, "sure my broseph, that rad with you my glitchy-friend?" Fresh asked, Gradient gave a small nod and Undyne gave out a small 'sure' and they all walked off to the living room.
