That moment when you're sitting in bed and you realize in about 5 hours and 30 minutes it'll be Christmas. Technically. Holy shiitake mushrooms. I literally dunno where this year went.

The car ride ends when we get close to my studio. "Uh, you should probably drop me off here!" I say, pulling off my seat belt.

"Why's that?" Undyne asks, slowly down.

"Cause I don't want there to be a bunch of fans outside wondering where the hell I am, and then me come out of a car full of monsters." I say, before hurriedly adding, "Not that I have anything against you guys! I just don't want you to get hurt." I hang my head. "One time I got out of the car with a bunch of friends and my fans went haywire. It wasn't a pleasant time."

Undyne nods after a minute and parks in front of a coffee shop. "But first, do any of you punks want some coffee or something?"

A chorus of groans and yes's come from everyone else in the car, including myself.

We go into Starbucks (OOOH WE'RE GOING TO THE WHITE GIRL PLACE OOOOH GURLLL! xD jk jk. I'm sorry. I can't have anything be serious anymore). Sans orders an espresso, Undyne a coffee, no sugar or creamer, Alphys orders a caramel macchiato, and I get a peppermint mocha frappuccino. (I literally had that two days ago and I was in all kinds of heaven. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Also yes, I only drink cold drinks from coffee shops. Because the hot stuff is inconsistent with the heat levels.)

After we get our drinks, I bid everyone farewell, giving everyone a huge hug. Fuck, I've only known them for about a day or so (<- Right here my fingers typed sao by accident. No fingers. Not those feels again. D:), but, damn, they already have a special place in my heart.

When I finally release Undyne, and she releases me, I turn to Sans. His face becomes a little blue before he comes and hugs me, hid face burying itself into my shoulder. I wrap my arms around his back and squeeze him gently. After a few short minutes, he still hasn't let me go, but I need to get going.

"Sans." I say, pushing him away gently. "I need to go now."

"Oh, right. Sorry." He says releasing me. "I just wanted to give you a top koala-ty hug."

I let out a small chuckle and pat the top of Sans's skull. "That pun was unbearable." I say, before giving everyone a wave. "Alright, I really need to get going. I'll see you all later!"

I walk out of the Starbucks after saying goodbye. I walk down to my studio, the warmth from both having friends around and Starbucks leaves me immediately after I leave. With a sigh, I huddle up around my coat.

I finally get to the studio after a minute or two, that feel like an hour. As I get there, I see exactly what I thought there would be. A bunch of fans were in front of my studio and trying to see how I was, where I was, what happened to me, all that fun stuff. I avoid the main entrance like the plague, and make my way to the back.

I open the back door and immediately get bombarded by security, my producers, John, and Diana. Why is she still here?! I mentally scream.

John pushes his way up the crowd, and Diana stay behind. "Katrina, are you alright?" He asks.

"Fine." I say in a voice loud enough so everyone can hear. "But what the hell is she doing here?" I whisper to him, harshly.

"I kept her because she had one last request. Which was to be on stage with you on your next performance. Which is at 9 tonight." He replies, in a whisper.

"I-you-no!" I say. "Why did you let her?"

"She had a right to a final wish." He angrily whispers. "Don't think I don't like this anymore than you do."

I nod before sighing. "Alright. Well, if she's gonna be an ass about this, I'm gonna have a bit of fun." I say, with a grin.

"Don't hurt her." John says.

"Don't hurt her physically, right? Mental pain is okay, cause they can't trace that." I ask, and he nods with a small laugh. "Oh, and can we send the first... 10 I think, front row seats to those people housing me?" I ask, turning slightly towards John.

"Of course." He says with a smile.

I smile back and huff as I go to face Diana.

"So," I say to her.

"I'm sorry." She says, hanging her head.

"Sure." I say, pointedly inspecting my fingernails. "What do you want to sing together?"

"How about-"

"Circus Monster? Sounds great." I say, with a grin as I skip away.

"That's not what I was going to say!" Diana yells at me.

"Dun care!" I shout back.

I hear her say something, but I ignore it. I pop into my dressing room and see that it's all the same. I sigh and plop down on the couch that once held Frisk, Papyrus, and Mettaton. I lean back against it and feel myself drift off.

*Taba pulls out a Time Wizard. Time Skipu! Now the Baby Dragon is now a Thousand Dragon!* (No? Oh... I guess I'll keep my Yu-gi-oh things to myself.)

I'm waken up by John, who's shaking my shoulder, violently. Or I thought it was him, or even another person. It's actually my own arm shaking, as one of the love seats comes closer. I quickly sit up and place the love seat back where it's supposed to go.

I sigh before rubbing my eyes, and hearing a knock. I get up and go to my door to find that my dresser had moved in front of it. I use a little magic to move it back to it's original position, and open the door.

Behind the door was John, who was red-faced. "Your performance is starting in an hour and a half." He says.

I nod and move into my dressing room, grabbing my forgotten coffee. It wasn't good, but it did it's job of waking me up.

I look towards my make-up artist who gasps at the marks around my neck. I shrug and tell her that I fell over and got choked on something, but someone got me before I died.

She nods and starts to cover it up with makeup and moves to my face.

After she gets done with my face she inspects the rest of my body, but I don't let her take off the wraps on my wrists and ankles. She frowns at this before turning to my expansive wardrobe. She pulls out a black and white striped long sleeve shirt, and a pair of clean black super skinny jeans. I take the clothes, and get changed in my changing room. I pop back into the closet, and wait as she fits me with a black and white skull scarf around my neck like a tie, and a collared, button-up the front shirt that is black, white, and blue plaid.

I thank her and put on my typical knee-high black boots with a short heel. By the time we get done, it's about an half hour before the show starts. I sigh as I feel my stylist pull some of my hair to the side and clip it back with a small bow. I expect more, but she ushers me out.

I shrug before going behind the curtain and see Diana on the opposite side, wearing a simple black and white dress, and black flats. I suppress a chuckle at how much like a regular person she looks like. Mainly because she always dressed extravagantly. 

The curtains pull back and I make my way to the middle of the stage, and spot the group of ten monsters up at the front. I smile at them and wave, and they wave back.

I then look out into the crowd and say, "Hello! You may be wondering where I've been this past day or so. Whale," I grin, "I have been in a secret place where I feel safe. Because," I motion for Diana to come out, and he comes to stand beside me, "Of her. You may know her as my aunt, buttttttt." I pause for a minute. "She shouldn't really be called that anymore." I wrap my arm around her shoulders and pull her into a headlock. "She tried to strangle me a couple of days ago. I would show you proof, but it's all covered up and I know my makeup artist would kill me if I messed up her handiwork. Anyways, I have been in safer hands. So no need to worry." I let go of Diana and walk over to another part of the stage, and sit down. "But, she asked only to sing with me and stay on stage with me for the rest of this performance. So, she'll be here." I wink to the crowd. "But you can pay attention to her, or not. Doesn't matter to me."

I smile out into the crowd before nodding to the DJ. He starts up the song, Circus Monster (Again I dun know the original writer, but the song I'm using is one by Joy Dreamer and these are the original lyrics. I own neither of the two people, and all rights reserved to them. Also cue music.)

Time is dead and gone
Show must go on
Its time for our act
They all scream at me

They cannot see
This curtain hides me
An amazing gift
So quick and swift

You were amazing
By myself I can't
They start to chant
Why are you not here?

Grinning at me
I lay on my knees
They want to hear me
Why can't 'he' see?

I want to see you
I need to see you
I have to see you
What happened to you?

We get up on stage
They jump to enrage
Why are you not here?
Why is 'he' so near?

'He' wants me to sing
I just can not bring-
I say 'he's' not you
What else can I do?

Singing its silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant
It lets out a plea

Why did she have to leave it all alone?
Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us
It despises us

Lying so useless, we start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"

I lay all alone
I should have known you would have left me
'He' smiles at me
I can not see

Why 'he's' in your place
They can't tell me why you said good-bye
Right before our act
Those two young lions

Were always fun~
Why did they leave, too?
Roaring at me
I lay on my knees

What is happening?
I can hear you sing
They will not obey
They've been lead astray

Will I still see you?
I have to see you
I panic and flee
They both pounce on me

I fell to the ground
I can't hear a sound
I look up and see
You are not with me

Am I all alone?
Where could you have gone?

Singing its silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant
It lets out a plea

Why did she have to leave it all alone?
Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us
It despises us

Lying so useless, We start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"

Ahh......

Singing its silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in its own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant
It lets out a plea

Why did she have to leave it all alone?
Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us
It despises us

Lying so useless, we start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"
Singing my silent song of misery
This monster lies trapped in my own Nightmare

'He' is a tyrant
I let out a plea
Why did you have to leave me all alone?
Bound to sing for them, a worthless monster

I never see them
I despise them so
Lying so useless, they start to holler
"Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!"  

As the song finishes I look over at Diana to see that she's sweating, and she seems extremely uncomfortable. I just grin and look out into the crowd.

"Well, that was the only song in which you'll hear my aunt here. So, give her a hand will you?" I ask, with a wink.

I hear clapping and look to see that Sans and Papyrus both have their gazes fixated on me, and I feel heat rush to my cheeks. Sans grins at seeing that and Papyrus looks away. I shake my head and look back up. "Anyways! Onto the next song!"

Annnnddd that's the end of the chapter. Christ.

Anyways! Next chapter main character is gonna sing freakin 10/10 best song. AND YOU'LL JUST HAFTA WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT IS! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Also I may have lied because it is not best song, but it is best song to fit what is happening between Diana and main character.

If you can guess it, I'll give you a cookie.

But I'll also give you a hint! Cause there would be a crap ton of songs to choose from if I didn't.

It is a song that is sometimes used to portray the genocide run of Undertale, and kinda Chara's theme. It is also not a vocaloid song, and is from an American band.

Anyways! I love you guys! ~Taba ^~^
