Chapter 15 - The Art Store
"Eat her p*ssy like groceries," Cole hummed along to the song.
"Could we change the music?" Silky asked Papyrus, "This is rather... inappropriate."
"No!" Cole said, "This is my jam!"
"You don't even like woman, you have no sexual interest!" Silky said.
"Just because I think dating is trash doesn't mean that songs about it are trash," Cole said, "Screw you, I can do what I want. Like I said, it's my car now."
"I don't understand why I can't drive," Jeff said.
"Silky warned me about your driving skills, I'd rather not take the chance," Papyrus sighed.
Once again, they were inside the car, hunting for another child of Sans. Papyrus was starting to feel like an escort at this point, constantly driving them around places. Silky had told them that she was able to drive, but Papyrus insisted on driving. He wanted to spend time with them, and help them anyway he could. This was one way.
It was still very uncomfortable, driving with Jeff, but at least Papyrus knew he wouldn't try to kill him. None of them hated him now, so that was progress! It also helped that Papyrus constantly made them homemade food with Toriel to keep them calm.
The CreepyPasta really, really liked food.
"Is this the art store?" Papyrus asked.
"Yeah, you can park right there. We know the owner," Silky said.
They had pulled up to a small art shop that was actually a few towns away from Papyrus, it was a long drive. And during that very long drive, Papyrus got to experience first hand just how everyone interacted with one another in enclosed spaces. Silky and Cole went back in forth in arguing, but they never let it go over the top, and even agreed to stop arguing when they both grew bored of it. Addy just sat silently in the back while watching.
"You guys went here a lot?" Papyrus asked Silky.
"It was for one of our Dads, he liked art and this was a small good art shop, he bought most of his brushes here," Silky explained, "We started getting all of our materials from here, to avoid large crowded stores. We spent a lot of time in here, so we know the owner rather well. Our parents preferred smaller, less crowded stores away from large towns. There is a small grocery store on the other side of Mount Ebott that we like to visit, the owners are a nice elderly couple that let us stop by anytime. Of course, we still went out and did things like watching movies, but specific towns were off limits. Ones with more police, and your town are an example."
"I snuck out to get the nachos from you town anyway," Cole chuckled, "It's not like you'd be able to tell I was your nephew anyway. We just weren't allowed to go to any towns with monsters Sans knew to make sure we wouldn't be recognized. F*cking dumb, but whatever."
"I think it was for the best," Papyrus admitted, "If I had seen one of you, especially Addy, in town... I would have definitely approached and maybe even scared her."
"Eh, never saw you anyway," Cole said, "I got my nachos, and Dad never knew."
"He found out countless times, he told you to stop every single time," Silky said.
Cole had been in his town before? To think that his own nephew was right there all along, and he never knew!
"Sans is like a lie detector or some sh*t, seriously," Jeff said, "You're lucky he never beat your a**! Instead he just went for me because I helped sneak you out!"
The group climbed out of the car, looking around. The small parking lot was empty, no other cars parked, but the store itself was decorated brightly with different posters and art designs.
Papyrus opened the door for them, letting everyone inside before he followed them and closed the door behind them. Inspecting the interior, he found that it was a rather small, yet cute, art shop. The shelves were filled to the brim with different materials, and edges black with a sign that said 'draw ahead!' pasted with an arrow pointing to the black edge. A few drawings were already drawn on the edges, one of them looking like some potbelly man with a large nose with the name 'Schmeple' drawn next to him.
The woman behind the counter perked up at their entrance, the dragon monster swishing her deep blue tail. She had indigo scales with bright blood red eyes, large wings tucked and folded up against her from her back.
"Addy, Cole, Silky, Jeff!" She said, smiling at them with a soft smile, sharp teeth peaking out. "It's great to see you all again!"
"You too, Equanox," Silky said, walking towards the counter. "How have you been?"
"Same old, same old," Equanox said, flicking their wrist. "Visiting Sky in the hospital, poor thing is still in a coma."
"Sorry to hear," Silky said, "Has there still been brain movement?"
"Yup, she's alive but not moving," Equanox said, "How about you kids? How's the parents?"
"We've been recently split up," Silky explained, "That's why we came here."
"Yeah, Leonie actually told me about it, she's been staying with me for the time being," Equanox told the group.
"Leonie?" Papyrus asked.
"Who's this guy?" Equanox asked, pointing at him with narrowed eyes. "Did Sans pop out another kid?"
"No, thank Toby Fox," Cole muttered.
"We recently discovered our lost Uncle, and we've been living with him as we reunite our family," Silky said, "His name is Papyrus."
"Nice to meet a new part of the family, Sans is always expanding it at this point," Equanox said relaxing, "Boy pops out children like I pop my popcorn. I don't think I'd be suited for kids, let alone nine of them. Thankfully you guys aren't mine, but I still enjoy when you visit. Kids are great when I don't have to take care of them!"
"We have spent a lot of time in this store," Silky said, glancing around. "You said Leonie was here?"
"Yup, she's in the back if you'd like to go get her," Equanox said, "But I'm not letting your Uncle or Cole back here. I'm not having a repeat of the p*nis incident."
"The what now?" Papyrus asked.
"Shut it!" Cole yelped.
"I dared them to play the p*nis game in the back, the game where you see who shouts the word p*nis the loudest, and whoever does is the winner." Equanox was holding back her laughter at this point. "But Cole didn't know what the game was so he thought it was comparing them, and I happened to walk in to find him unzipping his pants. He almost whipped it out in the back of my store when he was like nine or something. Scary."
"Shut it!" Cole yelled again, covering his blushing face.
"You didn't even win, surprisingly Silky did," Equanox said, looking down at Addy. "But do you want to go back sweetie? I have some of those crayons you really like back there, you can grab some on the way."
Addy eagerly nodded seeming to whisper something to Equanox who smiled and nodded back, the dragon monster moving to open the door to let her through. The small skeleton happily walked back towards the back, Equanox moving back to talk to them, and completely ignoring the fact that Addy could talk to her.
"You know, most of the art on the shelves is actually from them," Equanox pointed out to Papyrus, using her tail to pull the door closed again. "The kids loved to draw on the shelves since they were younger, Schemple is a popular drawing. I actually have a sheet in the back that I was going to install this weekend, where it would cover a wall so the kids could draw on the entire wall."
Papyrus glanced at some more of the drawings. There was a lot of them, some pretty good and some lacking in the art department. The Schemple guy was pretty popular, and sometimes it seemed they even wrote some notes to their siblings. Some of them were crammed tightly together as there was a lot of writing. Most of it was about how gay they all were. There was also a really defined picture of Waluigi with abs, with the caption 'You must shower Cole' written next to it.
"Ah, that picture! I've actually made sure not to erase that one, it's maybe a few years old, I've even had to retrace it a few times to make sure it wouldn't fade," Equanox said, smiling again. "Cole was doing a shower strike because Sans had grounded him with no nachos for a month."
"I managed to last two weeks before Dad dragged me into the bath," Cole said, "You have to admit, it was a great record."
"It was an awful two weeks," Silky muttered, looking at Cole.
"I had to say it was the best revolution ever," Jeff laughed.
She didn't even have a face, but she already looked so done with him it made Papyrus hold back a laugh.
"The kids are mostly memesters, it's great, like watching Reddit sh*postings," Equanox said, giggling lightly. "They're very fun to watch, especially when a few of them are good with art and imagination."
Suddenly, there was a thud from the back, followed by a teenage girl Papyrus didn't know screaming out, "NO, MY BEE MOVIE SCRIPT!"
There was some more thuds before Equanox looked at Silky with another smile. "She might need some help back there, sweetie. Leonie had been working on that for a long time now and might be a little angry to be forced away from it."
"I figured as such," Silky sighed, disappearing where she stood.
Papyrus still wasn't used to her sudden teleportations, he still found himself blinking a few times to make sure she really disappeared. The skeleton looked to the side to find Cole crouched down next to a shelf, chalk in hand as he drew an imagine of a weird looking face. There was another thud from the back before Silky walked out of the door, Addy under one arm and another skeleton girl under the other.
The girl was on the shorter side, sharing the same type of skull as Sans had. She had the same type of magical hair Addy did, but shorter, the magical dark blue hair passing an inch past her shoulders. The skeleton girl looked up, revealing large white eyelights that looked up at Papyrus. A plain blue button up shirt hugged her chest, with a light yellow skirt thrown on lazily. Light blue flip flops dangled from her feet.
"Excuse me, I was still writing the Bee Movie script on that banner for the wall, I was almost done!" She yelled, wiggling in Silky's grasp.
"How far were you?" Cole asked.
"I was on the trial scene," The girl answered.
"Oh, that is pretty far," Equanox pointed out.
"Yup, memorized the script, pretty proud of myself," The girl said, being set down by Silky.
"You memorized the entire Bee Movie script?" Papyrus asked.
"And you haven't?" She made a questioning face at him.
"Leonie, this is our Uncle Papyrus," Silky said, "Papyrus, this is our sister, Leonie."
"I didn't know we had an Uncle other than Jeff," Leonie said.
"He's only related by blood," Jeff said.
"But we're still family," Papyrus said.
Leonie stared at him for a moment, chewing on a piece of gum. "Nah man, family is people you know. Wasn't that our whole motto? Like how we weren't all related but we were all family? And I don't know you. Stranger danger dude."
"Well," Papyrus said, sticking out a hand, "Then let's work past that. My name is Papyrus, I'm Sans' brother and I'm here to help you guys."
"'Ight," Leonie said, grabbing his hand and shaking it. "I'm Leonie, I'm your niece, I guess."
"Aw, family bonding!" Equanox cooed and giggled from the counter.
"Nice to see you again," Cole said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "How you been doing nugget?"
"Same old, just been writing my fanfics and drawing Schmeple," Leonie said, "Have you guys found Dad yet? Or anyone?"
"All we found is everyone here," Silky said, setting down Addy before patting her head. "So far Jeff is the only adult from our CreepyPasta family side, we haven't found any of the others. What about you?"
"I just came here and asked Equanox if I could stay here, I've been trying to reach out to you guys on your phones but none of you answered," Leonie said, "I mean, I managed to contact Ben and Sally through the phone, but they're trying to find the others as well. We're all over the place apparently."
"At least you managed to find Ben, I was meaning to use Cleverbot soon," Silky said, "Could you ask him to come out when he comes back to the house?"
"Sure," Leonie said, chewing on her gum loudly. "We can watch Shrek at his house, right?"
