Chapter 21: A lesson on Family
~~~Last Time~~~
WHO IS A SCIENCE!?!
~~~This Time~~~
~~(Y/N) POV~~
OK, today is the day I go to that fancy dinner with Sans... should I consider this a date?... nah. I'm in the Conference Room with the gang (I got a gang) and Frisk is explaining something... IDK. I stopped listening after Frisk said,"Hello everyone, take your seats."
I was SOOOOO BORED! I fell asleep after the first 2 minutes! I wake up due someone pounding on the table. I look up to see a very mad Frisk.
"Do you know what you're gonna do?" Frisk practically yelled at me.
"Um... Wing it?"
Frisk face-palmed and sighed a heavy sigh. A sigh that said,"I'm not going to re-explain or else we're going to be here all day."
I look at her and shrug. She got SOOOOO mad at my nonchalantness, it was more funny than scary. Then she went on and on about how I should take my job seriously and stop slacking off.
"OK, why are you talking to me like I'm Sans and you're Papyrus?" I say interrupting her," OK, I know I need to be serious, that's a given. But in my case, it's not a necessity. I got 4 people out of the state safely because I didn't go by any plan. Trying to boss me around and put me on a leash might as well put you on the same level as those scientists." I state to her, still with respect, but also a small bit of "I know me better than she does"
This quiets frisk down. I'm glad that tantrums over. There is still one question that's on my mind.
"Frisk, when's the fancy dinner thing start?" I ask. Frisk looks down at her watch.
"We have half an hour."
"Should we start getting ready?"
Frisk nods her head and everyone leaves the Conference Room and heads back to their rooms to prepare. OK, what to wear... what to wear. I think as I go threw my dresser. Eventually, I find a (F/C) T-shirt and a blue pair of genes. Add in a cute hat and... Done! I head to Sans to show and...As predicted, he freaked out.
"what? no! you can't- are you gonna do this every time?" Sans said a little angry.
"What? I don't have any nice clothes and besides, I don't do dresses."
Sans took my hand dragged me to Mettaton's door. After he knocked, the charismatic robot swung the door open and grabbed me. Like this was planned. Again he makes me try on dress after dress. After the 243rd, did he say it was perfect for a dinner party.
( Pls excuse tribe lighting. I also drew this BE PROUD. The tale on the dress is any color you want)
"Okay! Thanks Metta!" I say over my shoulder to said robot. Mettaton smiled and clapped his hands. I walk out of the room and over to Sans.
"OK, is this better?" I ask to him.
"a neko in a cat dress? ironic."
both of us head out of the base and see... a limo? Where did the van go? Oh, wait going to a fancy dinner in a van would raise people's suspicion. OK. Sans walks up to the limo and opens the door.
"ma'am." He said gesturing for me to take a seat. I giggle an sit down in the limo. It was big inside. Maybe that's just me, I've never been in a limo before. Everything had LED lights on it and glowed (F/C). There was cans of soda on the side I was sitting on and bottles of ketchup were Sans was sitting.
"OK, did you plan this?"
"maybe."
"Cool."
~~Sans POV~~
Wow, that dress actually looks nice on her.But I still like one she wore on the last mission. I open the door to the limo and look at (Y/N) to see slight confusion on her face. I was about to explain but then her confusion was replaced understanding.
"ma'am." I say to her in a joking manner. I get a giggle out of her and she takes a seat in the limo. Once we're both in the car, (Y/N) notices the drinks in the coasters.
"Did you plan this?"
"maybe."
"Cool"
It stayed pretty quiet in the limo for most of the ride. (Y/N) was looking out the window. Guess she never got to see the city at night. I can't really blame her. She lived in a run down hotel for 8 months, and stuck in a lab for most of her time on the surface. Mttaton, why'd you have to put her in that? She's so cute! I start to stare at her. I can feel my face heat up. I guess she knew she was being stared at, 'cause she glanced aver at me and caught me in the act of playing perv.
"What? Is something wrong?" She looks down at the dress," I know I silly but you're gonna have to deal with it."
"no it's just that... i think you look really cute in a dress." I say back to her.
"I knew it." She says with a big smile on her face.
"knew what?"
"You would like the dress, like Mettaton said you would."
The limo stopped and I looked out the window. Yep, we're at the place. I open the door and let (Y/N) out.
"okay remember, don't talk casually. we're gonna be surrounded by fancy people, use proper English." I say to her as we walk to the door.
"But you're talking casual."
"Shh." I knock on the front door to the white mansion. And a guy in a neat black tux answers the door.
"Sir. The final guests have arrived." He said to someone in a different room. Buy the way he's talking, he's a butler.
"Alright, let them in." Said another voice, presumably, the host of this party.
~~(Y/N) POV~~
Me and Sans walk into this HUGE house! It's even bigger than the hotel I was living in! But it was just as fancy. There were chandeliers hanging from the ceiling of every room. And speaking of the ceiling, it was like 200 ft. above our heads! And the place was accented with gold and colorful flowers. But very little people. I mean yeah, there were butlers, maids, and guests but little family. I grew up with 16 siblings, I learned that they are the most important thing in the world. How does this guy not get lonely?
I sit down next to Sans, still looking around at this place. And now instead of being amazed, I felt small. All this unused space was... uncomfortable to say the least.
"I take it you like my house?" Said the host of the party.
"Oh, um... Hi I'm (Y/N). It's nice to meat you sir." I say politely to the man.
"Call me Peril. It is nice to meat you (Y/N)." Peril said and extended his hand. I shook it and smiled, then continued to look around at this place. Butlers and maids came in carrying those fancy silver food platters and set them down in front of us. I twitch my ears in interest, wondering what it could be. Once the butler that gave me the platter opened the lid, my interest was killed immediately. There were small, one-bite appetizers. Aw man, I was hoping for (F/F). I think to my self as I pick one up and pop it into my mouth. It was... odd. That's the nice way of saying it. I scrunch up my my face due to the bad taste. Everyone chuckles a little at my reaction. I look down at the plate, the 'appetizers' no longer look very appetizing. Instead of eating another, I decide to star a conversation with Peril.
"Um... Peril, do you ever feel lonely in here?" I ask a little
"what ever do you mean, Miss (Y/N)?"
"I mean, yes, you have butlers and maids attending to your every need and staff in this house but, I have to wonder, do you have a family of is it just you?"
"No, I have a wife and children living here with me."
"Do you ever spend time with them?"
"No, I'm afraid not. I simply don't have the time."
" Sigh... let me tell you about a commodity that everyone shares. Regarding race, gender, etc."
"OK, what is it?" He asks full of interest.
"That commodity is time. We can pend time, lose time, miss our time, make time, waist our time, and have it stolen. The only thing we can't do is have more of it. We claim to buy time, but that's more of a trade of our time to delay events." I stop to see that everyone is listening to me, staring at me, some of them gesturing to continue," You can invest time in seeing a movie or reading a book. If you find that it wasn't worth your time you might get mad, it was your time that was wasted and you can't get it back. Meanwhile, the creator of that movie or book spent a great deal of their time to make it.So, you can say that you don't have time to spend with your family... when will you? Because the most precious time, is the time you spend with your family." I finish and everyone is looking at me. Some of them are crying, some of them are thinking, some of them and just amazed. Then... I see a kid, a boy around 7 with short blond hair and a teddy bear in his hands peeking out from around a corner, looking at me.
"Um... hello kid, it's nice to meat you. You mind coming out of hiding? I'd love to talk." I say genitally. Most of the people are look at me confused and then they see the kid, coming out from around the corner and walking over to me.
"Noah, I told you, go to bed." Peril said... more like ordered. I look up at him then I get an idea.
"Excuse me, Peril, do you mind if I play with Noah?"
"What are you a kid?"
"If you're not going to invest your time. I will invest mine." I say to him he pauses for a second before allowing me to leave the table and play with his kid. Noah grabs my hand and takes me down the hall to his room.
