You were in your element when you stood on a stage. You could confidently sing the melody, serenely take the harmony, basking in the attention and relishing in the feel of your heels hitting the stage and the strain of your vocal cords. You'd been singing for fours years, but the best career decision you'd made was joining up with Mettaton for several duets. You often performed with the monster, and he'd become your best friend, but despite his constant pestering you had yet to meet the rest of his friends. *Authors Note* I originally started this story in 2016, but never finished. I've recently regained my writing mojo, and decided to rewrite, edit and finish Can You Hear Me?.

Humanity is divided over one thing---the Monsters' reappearance. Some believe that they should stay aboveground, and others think that they should be sent back to where they came from. Then, there are those like you who don't quite know what to think yet. What will happen once you become acquainted with two skeleton brothers? Will you finally decide your standing on this issue? And is it possible that you will find love along the way? Thanks to crispicroissant on DeviantArt for letting me use their artwork as the cover of my story!

It's been over a year since the Underground opened up and the monsters living under the earth swarmed to the surface in their thousands. The human and monster governments are taking their sweet time coming to any kind of agreement regarding monster rights and citizenship, but for the most part, in the less politically-active parts of the nation, life continues as it always has. In your sleepy little town, there are bills to be paid, tables to be waited, and few to no adventures to be found. So when two skeleton monsters move into the empty house near the café where you work, you welcome the changes they bring with them. You knew if you let them into your life they'd make interesting friends. What you didn't expect was that getting to know these remarkable strangers would be like coming home.
