Turtle Side Note: Feel free to split this chapter up as you read it, but make sure you do read it all if you're interested in the story line. Also, in about two to three chapters, we will be back to goofy dares and stuff, so that's something to look  forward to. WARNING- There are many call backs to previous chapters in this, if you don't understand what a character is referring to, just ask and I will link you to the right chapter.

-At the fire-- -

Fuku: daaaaAAAAAAAAD! *comes running into the bedroom*

-... Never-mind, I think you all know where we are-

Fuku: *jumps onto her father's bed, landing right on his stomach* DAD!

Grillby: *snaps awake from the sudden impact* !!??

Fuku: *laughs* COME ON! GET UP! *jumps off of him* *bouncing in place beside his bed*

Grillby: *sits up, rubbing one of his eyes* *looks over to Fuku*

Fuku: Ha! There we go! Did you forget Undyne's birthday is today?! *pumps out her fists in front of her* IT'S TIME TO PARTY! WOOO! *runs out of the room, still cheering*

Grillby: *hears her voice get quieter and quieter as she gets farther and farther away*... *laughs a little to himself, shaking his head* *barely stands up, when Fuku yells something again*

Fuku: HURRY UP, YOU'RE TAKING SO LONG!

Grillby: *sighs, smiling* *gets some cloths, quickly changing*

Fuku: *runs up to his door, knocking* Daaaaaad, are you done yet?

Grillby: *promptly steps out in a flannel and jeans* *nods*

Fuku: *beams up at him* Great! Now let's GO! *runs for the front door*

Grillby: *calmly walks out, stopping at the fridge once to grab some chocolate pudding pie he had made the day before* *walks to the front door to find Fuku impatiently waiting* *walks up to her, holding out the pie to her* Can you carry this while we're driving... without eating it?

Fuku: *stares up at him, blankly* ...Dad, you should know by now not to trust me with deserts.

Grillby: *raises a brow at her* Are you turning down a challenge?

Fuku: *freezes, her eyes going into challenge mode* ...Oh, HECK no! *snatches the pie* You'll see! I will NOT eat this pie! *marches out the door, going into the passenger seat of the car*

Grillby: *smiles, walking out and locking the door* *heads into the car to drive to "Undyne's" house*

-At the main household-

Undyne: *sitting on the sofa, her legs criss-crossed* *mindlessly playing with a spear, her fins flat to her head* (I should have gone out with them. If I was there none of this would have happened. I-)

Alphys: U-Undyne...?

Undyne: *snaps out of her thoughts* *her fins raise a little* *turns to Alphys* Yeah?

Alphys: Y-you've been staring a-at n-nothing for ten minutes...

Undyne: Oh... uh... *smiles at Alphys a little* Sorry, just thinking...

Alphys: *looks down sadly* *crawls up onto the couch, sitting next to her* *knows she's probably thinking about Sans* W-well. I-if you're thinking a-about what I th-think you're th-thinking... *looks to the side* Then... a-at least be gl-glad the police d-didn't find d-dust at the scene.

Undyne: *poking at the carpeted floor with her spear* I would rather have had them find dust.

Alphys: *stares at her confused* W-why?

Undyne: *the spear dissipates* *leans back into the sofa* Because then we'd know where he was...

*****

Toriel and Asgore: *in the kitchen*

Toriel: *sitting at the table* ...

Asgore: *has just finished making tea* *walks over to her, giving her a cup*

Toriel: *glances over at him before mumbling* Thank you...

Asgore: *looks at her, sadly* *puts a paw on her back* I assure you, this will all turn out alright.

Toriel: ...

Asgore: Toriel... he is stronger than he appears... if anyone could get out of his situation, it's him.

Toriel: *looks up* How? None of the other missing monsters have returned. Some of them have been gone for months.

Asgore: *sighs* I know you care about him a lot, Toriel... but sometimes you don't give his (or even others for that matter) capabilities enough credit. *squeezes her shoulder* He will be okay.

Toriel: *suddenly stands up, hugging him, taking him by surprise* ...*her voice is quiet* I really hope so...

*****

Mettaton and Blooky: *seem to just be in Mettaton's room, being sure to stay out of the way of everyone else in the household who was more effected by Sans' disappearance than they were*

*****

Papyrus: *seems to be cleaning up his bedroom, being the only one of all the house members who has changed out of their pajamas* *from the bags under his eyes, it looks like he didn't sleep at all last night*

SandyManglicmot146: Spaghetti will make him feel better, maybe *slips a plate of spaghetti under the crack of his door*

Papyrus: ... *smiles* HUMAN, AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE THE GESTURE, AT THE MOMENT I AM PERFECTLY GREAT! *picks up the spaghetti, putting it on his dresser* BUT, REST ASSURE, HUMAN, FOR I WILL BE SURE TO EAT THIS LATER AND NOT LET YOUR COOKING GO TO WASTE.

snowkitten14: I WANT TO HUG HIM AND MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER, PAPY PLS DON'T BE SAD!

Papyrus: *looks in the direction of the voice* HUMAN, I WOULD LOVE A HUG, IF IT WAS POSSIBLE, BUT...I WILL NOT LIE TO YOU ABOUT MY EMOTIONS, FOR I AM TOO GREAT TO STOOP DOWN TO LIES. SO, I AM GLAD TO INFORM YOU THAT I AM FAR FROM SAD RIGHT NOW.

commanderSmartass: Aw the poor thing...someone go comfort him.

Papyrus: ... I KNOW WHY YOU ALL ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I NEED COMFORT, BUT, I KNOW MY BROTHER BETTER THAN ANYONE... SO, I KNOW WHAT HE WOULD WANT... AND HE'D WANT US ALL TO NOT BE SAD. *looks to the side* THAT'S... ALL HE EVER WANTED... WAS FOR PEOPLE TO NOT BE SAD. *pauses* AND, WHETHER OR NOT HE'S ALIVE OR "ON VACATION", I KNOW HE'D BE SAD IF HE KNEW WE WERE SAD.

Papyrus: DON'T GET ME WRONG, HUMAN... I WANT HIM TO BE OKAY... I WANT HIM TO COME HOME--*glances at a picture on his nightstand, next to the picture is the book "Peek-a-Boo with Fluffy Bunny"*--... BUT IF HE DOESN'T, THERE IS NO POINT IN FEELING NEGATIVE. IF WE CAN ALL STAY HAPPY NOW, WE WILL BE EVEN MORE HAPPY IF HE COMES HOME! IT'S A DOUBLE-GREAT BONUS! *smiles cheerfully*

Papyrus: NOW, HUMANS, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, MUST GO AND SEE HOW EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING! *fixes his scarf before heading out of his room*

*****

Chara and Flowey: *In Frisk and Chara's bedroom*

Frisk: *hiding in their secret hideout that is in their closet*

Chara: *just laying in bed, Undyne's present under their bed* *doodling in their sketchbook, the same man's face finding it's way on the page over and over again*

Flowey: *seems to be bored, but is actually taking caution and respecting the household members who have feelings*

SandyManglicmot146: He, the Great Papyrus, will not think badly of you coz he knows that it ain't your fault, Chara.

Chara: *looks up from their sketchbook* I'm not so sure about that, but okay. *looks back down, blending something with their stomp*

pumakittycat: * a note floats down into Chara's view.

"sans's name is no longer on the scoreboard.

MR. H IS NOW AN ASK-ABLE CHARACTER."

Chara: *looks at the note* *puffs out a breath* Yeah... I know. Crybaby 2.0 flipped out last night over it... *mumbles* I honestly can't blame them.

_Swiftblade_: Frisk, Chara. I don't know what Mr. H wants with Sans, but you will get him back. Stay determined. And if you can't, stay determined for Sans. And here, have this. *Swift is lending you her determination and patience* Use it wisely.

Chara: I hate to burst your bubble, but it's not really possible for us to take your determination, partner. But, thanks anyways, even though I don't think we'll be getting him back... ever.

Frisk: *hears the muffled voices from within their hiding hole* *they look like they have been on and off crying for quite awhile now* ... *they are still in denial of Sans' disappearance*

WeirdSugars: Frisk! Don't worry child! You'll make it through! This Mr. H dude will not beat you! I believe in you! Stay determined child!

Frisk: *eyes start to well up again* *shakes their head, "no" at the voice* I-I-I don't g-g-et it... H-he w-w-was from a-a dream... h-h-he wasn't s-s-supposed t-to be real- *starts shaking* (What if all my dreams become true... what if everyone dies... what if I kill everyone again... what if....)

Frisk: *wipes their eyes frantically* (NO! Sans isn't gone. This is a prank. He knew my dream, this is probably a cruel joke. He's just getting me back for what I did to Papyrus. No one is going to die, there won't be any dust on the doorstep, everything will be fine.)

IcicleCrystals: frisk cares so much that they wont even believe it...

Frisk: *yells* Stop saying stuff like that! YOU'RE MAKING IT ALL UP! *covers their ears in self-defense*

*****

Chara and Flowey: *can hear Frisk right through the wall that conceals their hiding spot in the closet* !!!

Flowey: *rolls his eyes up* The idiot needs a reality check.

Chara: *looks over at him* They'll figure it out...

Flowey: Really? When? 

Chara: Why would you think I'd know? I'm not them. *starts drawing again*

Flowey: ... I don't know. *crosses his leaves* 

*****

Grillby and Fuku: *pull into the driveway*

Fuku: *jumps out of the car* YES, FINALLY! We were driving foreeeeeever.

Grillby: ... *looks at his watch, closing the car door behind him* It's been ten minutes....

Fuku: *shrugs* Shmeh, close enough to forever for me... especially with a pie in my arms... *eyes light up happily* Speaking of that! HA! I won, I didn't even try to lick the whipped cream!

Grillby: *chuckles* Score Fuku- 11

Fuku: Score Dad- 23! *sticks her tongue out at him* I'm getting closer to beating you!

Grillby: *doesn't even get the chance to speak before Fuku grabs his hand*

Fuku: COME ON, LET'S GO, DAD! *basically drags Grillby to the front door*

*...

Fuku: *knocks at the door, happily*

*****

*A knock comes from the front door.

Undyne: *looks  towards the noise*

Alphys: *jumps a mile high, squeaking*

Undyne: *lets out a breath* *calls out so the whole house hears her* I'll get the door! *walks to the doorway* *peeks out to see who it is*

Undyne: ! *freezes, seeing Grillby and Fuku, realizing that she forgot to cancel the party* F*ck.

Undyne: ... *steadily opens the door* Hey... Grillby, Fuku....

Undyne: There's something I've gotta tell you...
