Lust couldn't believe his eyes.

THIS WAS THE BEST DAY OF HIS LIFE!

Other than the day that he had found that book, this was his favorite day of all time! He was going to celebrate this day with a nice cup of wine while rereading his favorite book next to the fireplace, all alone on a nice warm night snuggled under a blanket. 

Even though Lust loved adventures, he could never be a part of one, so he had settle for reading about them. He would always imagine himself as the main character who was on an adventure, because it had always sounded so fun and exciting. When it would get to a very exciting, Lust would have to take a moment to think of how he would react before he would go back onto reading.

But this was better than he could ever imagine.

The real life version of the main character!

It looked exactly liked how Horror's description was, with the hole in his skull, the blood red eyes, and his sharp teeth. He even looked the age that Horror was supposed to be, and Lust waz freaking out. 

There was no way the story was actually... real? Right?

Right?

The quest to find a skeleton named Blue was long gone, and the urge to see if that was actually Horror quickly made Lust call out Horror's name.

And he turned and responded to the name.

"Hm?" He asked.

"Oh my Toby Fox, are you Horror?" Lust asked, his soul swelling with happiness.

"Um, yeah..." Horror said, raising one of his eye sockets in a questioning manner, "Do I know you?"

"Oh Toby, oh Toby darn Fox, this is real, holy crap," Lust ranted, "It's real! It's real!"

"Can you explain what you're babbling about?" Horror asked.

"You're the Horror, right?" Lust asked, gripping Horror's arms, "The Horror that became a vampi-"

Suddenly, one of Horror's hand pressed against Lust's teeth to shush him. Lust looked up at his favorite character of his book to find his expression of worry and anger, but mostly confusion.

"Who told you that?" Horror hissed.

"Mhm!" Lust said, his voice muffled by Horror's teeth.

Horror removed his hand from Lust's teeth when he noticed that he couldn't speak before telling Lust, "Now explain to me exactly how you know who and what I am!"

Lust tried to speak but was cut off by someone clearing their throat, which was a Royal guard member who had been patrolling the halls. He had his arms crossed, and he used his head to gesture to the direction of the party's location.

"The King said specifically that he doesn't want anyone to stray from his party," The Royal Guard said through his armor, his voice muffled slightly, "I'll accompany you back to the party. And make sure that you stay there."

Horror frowned, Lust glancing over at him with interest. Horror could deal with the Royal Guard, but he'd have to deal with the dust, and there was probably more Royal Guard members lurking nearby. Not to mention Lust or the Guard might scream, attracting attention. Judging by the faint sounds of the party, a scream would give him attention that Horror desperately did not want. And he didn't want to have to kidnap someone after what had just happened with the whole 'Dust getting knocked out and our two leads for my own mistake are now gone and I need this other skeleton or else Error won't forgive me so easily' situation, he didn't want to cause any trouble unless necessary. 

"Of course," Horror said.

He looked over at Lust, who was a bit shorter than him, to find his pupils practically sparkling. This girl was rather excited to see him for reasons unknown to Horror, but she didn't look like any sort of prostitute, she just looked like she knew him from somewhere and was happy to see an old friend.

That's the problem, this girl knew his name and his biggest secret, but he didn't even know their name, much less know who they were in any sort of case. He couldn't recall ever seeing this female skeleton, so how did she know who he was?

Another problem with this situation was that he couldn't just outright ask this monster how they knew about him. He didn't want anyone to overhear their conversation, they might hear the word vampire, scream it, then he could be attacked by the King himself.

Which was a no-no for him.

He was not going to do that.

So, what was he going to do.

"Hey, you're starting to pick at your arm,"  Lust whispered, "Which is what you do when you are stumped on something."

Horror stared over at him before looking down, to find out that he was indeed picking at his arm, which he did when he couldn't figure out something. He often did it when he was playing chess with Fell or trying to figure out what was going on in Dust's head.

How did he know that? 

Dear god this was getting creepy real quick.

"Here we are," The Royal Guardsman said, turning around to face the two men as he opened the door, "Have a fun day, and don't leave again."

"Thank you sir!" Lust said, bowing down slightly to thank him before he straightened and grabbed Horror's wrist, "C'mon, we can talk inside."

"Fine," Horror sighed.

He let himself be lead inside by Lust, who's grip was pretty strong on his wrist. Horror and Lust blended in with the group because of their clothes, and they looked like just another rich couple. Lust went straight to the food table, where large amounts of amazing food were spread across the table eloquently. Lust went directly to the fish, which was Horror's favorite food, and picked up a plate to put some fish on. He then turned to Horror and handed him the plate.

"It's your favorite food, right?" Lust asked him.

"Yeah, but seriously, how do you know that?" Horror asked, trying to keep his voice down.

"Because I'm your friend, silly!" Lust giggled, taking a small glance over to King Asgore, who was talking to a women not to far from them.

He was close enough to hear their conversation, however.

This girl wasn't stupid, that was for sure. Unlike Dust, who had abandoned him almost immediately.

Yeah, there was going to be some yelling when they got back at their base alright.

At least the person who seemed to know everything about him wasn't an idiot, that was a good thing that they wouldn't go shouting out to the rooftops about it. But what if she blackmails him, or worse, makes him do bills?

Oh no.

"Here," Lust said, "Have a fork, you'll need that to eat the fish, no?"

Horror took the fork cautiously, noticing that Lust was opening his purse at his side. He then slightly pulled out a book out of his purse to give Horror a glimpse of it. Horror did, and he gasped, his eye sockets widening.

That was his diary!

That explains so much of how Lust seemed to know everything about him. 

"Visit my place tonight when the moons out," Lust said, "It's across the street from the wood store. Do you know where that is?"

Horror ran over his memory, shaking his head because he didn't go out much inside of the rich part of the city. Lust sighed, narrowing his eye sockets as he thought over another place they could meet when the moon came out.

"Do you know that small pond at the edge of the city?" Horror asked.

Lust nodded. On the edge of the city, there was a small pond that had been polluted, so it lacked any fish life whatsoever, and was deemed undrinkable. It still had a few group of living trees nearby that Horror could talk to Lust to, so it would be helpful for discussions that needed to remain secrets. 

"I'll be there tonight, under the moon," Lust said, "And the book with be there, too."

"You missed it! She went full on warrior mode! She had a battle cry, she was swinging her sword left and right, it was amazing!" The blond haired girl said excitedly.

"I wasn't that wild..." PurpleFluffBall said, smiling at Bubbly.

"I can't believe a storm made me miss that!" Bubbly whined, "That would've been awesome to see her go all out in battle!"

"Well, I wasn't the only one who fought," The blue eyed female said, pointing at her blond haired friend, "She used her wings to distract people before pulling out her bow and arrow and bam, hitting them! If it wasn't for her, I'd be a goner."

"And if it wasn't for you two, I'd be dead for awhile now," She said.

A boy a little bit older than the three females entered the room, all of them stopping their discussions and looking over at him. He had red and black hair with three yellow beads in it, one of his eyes a green color and his other a red color. He was wearing a plain green t-shirt and he had a determined expression on his face.

"Are you PurpleFluffBall?" He asked.

"Yeah, I am..." She said softly, standing up, "Why do you ask?"

"The King requested to see you."

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO WRITE A GUY THAT'S A GIRL THAT SOME PEOPLE KNOW IS A GUY AND THAT SOME PEOPLE THINK IS A GIRL!

*sobs in corner*

Ok, it's not really that bad, I was joking. It's difficult, but not that difficult.

And look, I managed to get the fast few chapters out everyday instead of every other day!

I've never been so proud

Anyway, let me just explain something. Lust had Horror's diary that Ink had dropped in the library. Lust thought that it was an actual book that Ink had wrote, and fell in love with the 'story'. And Horror was looking for the diary thinking that the King was going to use it to track him down. So Lust saw Horror, who he has assumed was just a fictional main character, and started to freak out. And since Horror doesn't know Lust had his diary until the end of the chapter, he was freaking out on how Lust knew practically everything about him.
