Within The Barrier (An UnderTale Fanfiction.)

{Chapter Eight:Moving on}

(So as I've mentioned (i think I've mentioned anyway) it's been a while sense I've wrote stuff and so my style is going to change a lot as I get back to my original writing style. I'm trying to make stuff more detailed and things of that nature. One thing I've noticed I messed up while writing is failing to show how much time has passed so I'm gonna go back and put in like time stamp things to its better to understand? They might go away later or maybe not but this will help i swear.)

The three ended up getting there before a lot of monsters did. Having the front view made it easier to hear the information and Gaster wanted to see how they would react to it.

Well more so he wanted to see Harrington react to it before telling himself to be quiet.

'His attention is elsewhere, stop investing so much waisted time into him.' He thought to himself with quiet saddened noise, looking up at Asgore and Toriel to distract himself.

"Hello citizens of The Underground. Queen Toriel and I have a few announcements to make to you all. First off, we'd like to discuss the issue of living here at Home. After many patrols over the months we have all come to realize that outside we were not followed and are safe to leave here." He began

"People have gone out on tours of outside along with the Patrol team that mostly consists of Harrington, Dr. Gaster, Arial, Barry, Great Dog, and Leon. They've done a wonderful job in making sure no harm comes to monster kind while Dr. Gaster did some research on the place just outside the door. As you all know from when we first came into the mountain, there is still much more to explore and study which we will set up more scientists for more research. Which leads us to our first announcement. Queen Toriel and I have decided to move out of Home. Our plan is to move all the way to the barrier. Not only so we can expand and grow, but we will also be the first line of defense if any human were to pass through." Asgore spoke, his voice being washed out by mostly cheering

Gaster looked confused over all though. Mostly because Asgore was implying there was more to tell and Gaster wasn't told about it.

"Gaster did you hear! We get to leave this cramped place! You seemed to really like that lava place when we first came through. Well, really it just made you look less angry but still!" Arial smiled brightly.

"I just mostly liked it for the heat resource more than anything." Gaster admitted, still confused on what Asgore was implying.

The king ended up handing off the mic to Toriel who was able to get everyone, but the hyper skeletons, to calm down.

"As for our second announcement. After heavy thinking and consideration Asgore and I have found this place to be safe. It's a new start, even if it's not that great of a place we can make something new with it." She spoke, grabbing Asgore's hand in the process. "So we have decided to have a child." She finished, even more feedback than the last time. Her chuckle couldn't even be heard in the slightest.

Gaster's eye sockets went blank as the news rendered in. Sure they were the royal family but Asgore and Toriel helped him through a lot and helped him get to where he was today. He was good friends with them when they first got together.

His reaction was quite similar when they announced they were getting married but the thought of seeing his friends with a child just sat weird with him.

Somehow he felt maybe this wasn't such a great step.

Though, it gave the underground as a whole hope.

They were finally moving out of this cramped corner. There was going to be an heir to the throne. Gaster could relax for a minute and support his friend and his sister.

This was fine. Not exactly what he was hoping for. Maybe 3rd place in chances.

But it was fine.

They clarified to the rest of the public that the doors were now open for use whenever people would like starting tomorrow when Toriel and Asgore would make the trip to the barrier and have construction begin.

The two even answered some questions about the new found hope of the underground.

"Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?"

"Who would they take after more?"

"Any name ideas?"

Gaster just listened as he relaxed, a smile on his face as he planned out some things for his own future.

Arial was right, the core of the volcano did interest him so maybe that's where the lab will be. He should probably start thinking of some staff to hire as well.

'What would happen with Hari? No Hari and Arial will do their own thing. But for the meantime I see if Arial would like to stay with me until more permanent homes could be planned out when everyone isn't so busy. I hope it's not like living with her when she was younger.' He thought to himself, stopping his train of thought as Harrington waved his hand in front of Gaster's face.

"Hey, Arial and I were planning on going to Ray's again. Want to join us?" Hari offered, to which Gaster continued his content smile.

"Yeah sure, who knows maybe Ray will move his bar." Gaster chuckled.

Once the monsters were dismissed the three went back to Ray's, something they've been doing often. Even if Arial didn't like the grease so much she still had fun talking with the two.

This time though Gaster couldn't bring himself to stay as long, his mind getting the best of him when he saw the other two. So he decided to go home and try to sleep it off.

"He's been a little weird don't you think? Maybe he doesn't like us. He's been distancing himself." Hari spoke as he watched Gaster leave.

"He's still been struggling to accept the fact we're down here. Not to mention it's been a long time since you two have seen each other and instead of talking to him you keep coming to me for relationship advice dummy. He might think you're avoiding him." Arial shrugged.

"You need to talk to him. Think of it as a now or never thing. All it takes is for him to meet another monster and you lose your chance Harrington." She added, moving to take another sip of her tea.

Harrington sighed as he looked down at his hands that were folded on the bar. "I know I know.. I've always had issues like that." He sighed.

"I know. You not only were super obvious you kept coming to me like I was your sister. What are you planning Hari?" She implied with a smirk, laughing as his face became flustered.

"Oh come on really ari?!"
