Unexpected Encouters

Silence fills the room for a few seconds before all hell breaks loose. The right eye-socket of lanky skeleton standing next to the bunny hybrid glows a bright orange while his left looses its eyelights as his magic grabs onto Zilla, the dog monster hybrid girl, and lifts her off his brother and sends her sailing across the room, into the wall the tall edgy skeleton was leaning against moments before the fight started, and holds her there. The short edgy skeleton’s left eye-socket flares with his red magic as he summons a small gaster blaster and points it straight at the lanky skeleton using magic, waiting for the signal from his brother to release the power gathering into its maw.

As Zilla bites her lip to keep the yelp of pain from escaping as the air rushes from her lungs Sans eyesockets lose any life from his eyelights and he says is a deep voice, “ENOUGH!” Everyone turns their attention to him as all traces of magic disappears instantly, which causes Zilla to drop to the floor. She glares at the short, sharp toothed as he pulls himself off the floor while trying to piece together what had just happened. Sans eyelights reappear in his eye sockets as he looks around the room.  Papyrus says nervously, “HOW ABOUT WE START WITH INTRODUCTIONS? ITS HARD TO BECOME FRIENDS IF WE DON’T KNOW EACH OTHER’S NAMES!.” The short skeleton with the Blue bandana starts to bounce excitedly at this and says, “THAT IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA! WE SHALL START!”

Amber, the hybrid bunny girl clears her throat and says patronizingly, “You are aware that all of you skeletons are either named Sans or Papyrus aren’t you? Seems like it wouldn’t do much of anything to introduce yourselves when all it will do is lead to massive confusion.” Grace, the cat hybrid girl, narrows her eyes at Amber as her ears flatten against her head while she places her hand on the shorter skeletons now slightly less excited shoulder and says quietly, “Even if that’s true you could have been nicer about it.” Amber just shrugs her shoulders slightly, not really caring what Grace has to say.

Briar looks at Sans and suggests, “What if you guys used nicknames? It would be less confusing.”  The short, edgy looking skeleton looks at Briar and says suggestively, “that’s an excellent suggestion doll. how’s ’bout you call me yours?” Sans and the taller, edgy skeleton glare at the him causing him to start to sweat red magic. Zilla walks up to stand next to him and says, “I dub thee Red the Idiot.” She lightly flicks him in the back of the head causing a few snickers to be heard. Grace’s ears perk up and she says excitedly, “Why don’t us girls’ come up with the names for our brothers?” Everyone nods in agreement at the idea.

~A little while later~

Grace excitedly says, “I think we are ready for introductions now. My name is Grace and this,” she places her hands on the grey shoulder pads of the shorter skeleton, “is my brother the Magnificent Blue,” she looks at the tall skeleton in the orange hoodie, “and that is my lazy brother Stretch.” Briar tilts her head and asks, “Why Stretch?” Grace looks at Briar with a big grin on her face and says, “Because it’s always a stretch to get him off the couch.” Groans and laughter fill the room.

Amber clears her throat, her face showing slight annoyance at the joke, and says, “I am Princess Amber, adopted daughter of Queen Toriel. This is my royal guard Black,” she lifts her hand uncaringly towards the short sharp toothed skeleton now standing to her right, “and his brother Slim.” Zilla mockingly gasps and says, “I had no idea we were in the presence of royalty.” She grabs Red’s arm to gain his attention. “Red we must show our respect!” Red catches the mischievous look on Zilla’s face before they both bow to Amber, who smiles smugly at this. Zilla looks up with a smirk on her face and says sarcastically, “I’m sorry your royal highn-ass but you must have forgotten that your status doesn’t mean shit in a universe that isn’t yours.” Amber’s face falls and some chuckles are heard along with Papyrus and Blue both screech “LANGUAGE!” as Zilla and Red stand back up.

Zilla looks at the tall edgy skeleton beside her and he nods. She says, “ This is the Terrible Edge,” She places her arm on the shorter edgy skeletons shoulder, “His brother Red and my name is Zilla.” She looks directly at Black and winks while saying, “You can have the privilege of getting your coccyx handed to you whenever you would like.” Black crosses his arms over his chest and narrows his eyes at her while saying, “THAT WAS PURELY LUCK! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!”

Briar, standing between Sans and Papyrus, gives a slightly wave and says softly, “I’m Briar. You already know this is Sans and Papyrus.” Papyrus nods and says, “THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF MANY GREAT FRIENDSHIPS! WE SHOULD CELEBRATE WITH FRIENDSHIP SPAGHETTI! BRIAR WILL YOU ASISST ME IN THE KITCHEN?” Briar nods and leaves the living room with Papyrus. Sans looks around the room and says with a sigh, “i’m going down into the basement to see how bad the machine is. It shouldn’t be im-pasta-ble to fix but it might take time thyme. Feel free to claim a room upstairs and let Paps or Briar know if you need anything.”

He leaves to go down into the basement and notices that Red and Stretch are walking with him. Stretch says before Sans can question him, “we are the you of our universes. the sooner we get that stupid machine fixed the sooner we can go back.” Sans shrugs and says as they enter the basement, “3 boneheads are better then one. but Red I do actually have some questions for you.”

“might have some answers dependin’ on the questions.” They look at the machine, damaged more then Sans was hoping. Sans looks at Red, dead in the eyesockets, and asks, “Are we going to have an issue with Zilla?” Red shakes his head and says, “nah. she is as harmless as a newborn kitten.” Stretch looks over at Red curiously from inspecting the side of the machine and says, “a newborn kitten that has LV 11 stats.” Red grits his teeth as he glares at the piece of metal in his hands like it has just insulted his ancestry, “so ya are just gonna pass judgementon her because of her stats? she never asked ta be the way she is. she wouldn’ hurt anyone ‘less she absolutely has ta. i can promise ya that.” Sans and Stretch both stare at Red silently with wide sockets.

Soft footsteps are heard as Briar comes down the steps carefully. She cautiously looks around and says in a gentle voice, “Papyrus sent me down to let you guys know dinner is ready. Almost everyone is at the table now.” The three skeletons look at Briar on the steps as they make their way to the stairs. Red and Stretch pass by Briar as Sans stops by her. They watch the other two skeletons walk up the steps as Briar asks quietly, “Everything okay Sans?” Sans shifts his eyelights to the side to look at Briar and says, “yep. nothing can rattle these bones anymore.” Briar giggles and they both head up the stairs.
