Chapter 3
"BROTHER!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YO--" Frisk could hear a high pitched voice coming from somewhere as they got closer to the table in front of the wind-mill. The table had all types of treats and tea on it. They all looked delicious and if she didn't know better this would be a tea party!
"BROTHER!!!" Said the voice again and she finally noticed the tall skeleton in front of the wind-mill. He had a huge beautiful top-hat and a colorful neck piece. He was wearing a beautiful waist-coat even if it was patched here and there just like the hat. The skeleton had sharp teeth as well and a scar on his socket. His eye-lights fell on Frisk and she noticed the crazy make-up he was wearing. She smiled and the tall skeleton beamed.
"SANS!! YOU AREN'T FULLY USELESS AFTER ALL!! IT'S YOU! IT'S REALLY!!" He jumped over the tall chair at the other end of the table and with swift stepes he walked on the tables. He then knelt in front of her to take a better look at her.
"LOOK AT YOU!! YOU LOOK STUNNING LITTLE HUMAN!! FINALLY OUR TEA PARTY CAN START!! WAIT..NO IT CAN'T!! WHERE ARE THE GUESTS!?! ARGHH!!" The skeleton said frustrated.
"yo boss. don't go so fast. introduce yerself.." The skeleton stopped dead in his tracks.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, SANS!! BUT I SHALL INTRODUCE MYSELF!! PAPYRUS, THE GREAT MAD HATTER AT YOUR SERVICE TINY HUMAN!!" Frisk smiled and shook his skeletal hand. Apperently skeletons had something for finger-less gloves.
"Frisk." The skeleton beamed.
"I KNOW!!"
"it's not her..........oh sorry......i shouldn't have talked.........i will go...."
"MOUSE!!" Mouse?? Frisk looked behind the skeleton and saw a ghost. It looked sad and was growing out of a tea-cup. He had mouse ears on his head. It looked like one of those ghosts people looked like in pranks when all they did was use a white sheet over their head. That's adorable.
"'sup nasptablook?" Said Sans with a nod. The ghost smiled a bit.
"...hi..." Aww he was so shy...
"Hi there...I'm Frisk. You are Napstablook?" The ghost looked at her in awe before it blushed a bit.
"y..yes..." Sans jaw fell. Was he jealous.
"I KNEW IT!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY ALICE!!" Suddenly another voice, sounding kind of like metal...because there was a metal human standing on another chair. Weren't the chairs empty just a second ago?!
"WELL DARLING SHE HAS A VERY PRETTY FACE~" The metal human said. It winked at her. He had style: he was wearing a three piece suit with a monacle.
"CALL ME METTATON DARLING..BUT IF YOU NEED ME YOU CAN CALL ME ANYTIME~~" Hooo boy...Another monster popped up. He was a kid. It looked like an armless lizard. Awww. He was wearing a small top-hat and a tiny suit..almost like Hatter!
"HI!! i'm MK!! And i am Hatter's biggest fan!! I hope one day to be as mad and to make hats just as great as him!!" Papyrus beamed.
"NOW THAT EVERYONE IS HERE..AS YOU CAN SEE WERE ARE HAVING TEA!!" Papyrus picked her up by one hand and pulled her up. Sans winced. That's not how you carry a human and it hurt. He jumped on the tables again and started walking back to the seat at the end of the table.
"AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR YOUR RETURN!! YOU ARE TERRIBLY LATE!! NAUGHTY! ANYWAYS NOW YOU'RE BACK AND WE NEED TO GET ON TO FRABJUST DAY!!" Sans appeared in a seat right next to her, swinging his tail as he sipped from a cup. Mk jumped up when he teleported like that. Mettaton laughed.
"THIS WILL BE SUCH A GOOD STORY FOR THE WONDERLAND NEWS~! FRISK FINALLY BACK AND READY TO SLAY THE JABBERWOCKY!!"
"...she won't do it...." Sans snarled at the ghost as he sunk a bit in his seat. Papyrus frowned.
"OF COURSE SHE WILL MOUSE!! DON'T BE SILLY!!" Suddenly his voice was grave as he looked at Frisk.
"There's Plenty Of Things That Begin With The Letter M. Do You Have Any Idea Why A Raven Is Like A Writing Desk?" Frisk backed away a bit. Sans put a reassuring hand on her back to calm her down.
"'s okay sweetheart. he won't hurt'cha...k?" Frisk nodded. Papyrus looked surprised then gave her an apologetic look before turning back to his tea-party.
"DOWN WITH THE BLOODY RED DEVIL!!" Everyone said very fast.
"down with who?" Frisk asked. Sans nodded, being the only one who didn't say anything. He was using his magic to stir his tea.
"down with the bloody red devil..the red devil being the red queen." He sipped his tea.
"COME COME WE MUST SIMPLY COMMENCE INTO THE SLAYING INSIDE!! THEREFORE IT'S THE RIGHT TIME TO FORGET AND FORGIVE, WHICHEVER COMES FIRSTOR IS IN ANY CASE THE MOST CONVENIENT! I'M WAITING!!" Papyrus said as he pulled a pocket watch out. It kinda looked like her watch. Huh..interesting. Has her father been in this place before..?
"all this talking about blood and slaying has put me off my tea...i'll take a cookie though." Sans said as he made a cat shaped cookie float towards him. She giggled and Sans looked at her before looking away blushing. His cheek-bones were dusted red. He looked away from her munching on his cookie.
"THY WORD IS FALLING TO RUINS..AND POOR SANS IS OFF HIS TEA..." The Hatter said clutching the table's edge. Frisk's eyes widened as MK ducked under the table still peeking, Mouse hid into his cup and Mettaton pulled his hat over his eyes. Sans leaned back in his chair sweating bullets.
"what happened that day boss...was not. my. fault." Papyrus was now mad. His jaw was clentched and his eye-lights were dim. His make-up changed into a grey-ish colour and Mettaton covered her eyes.
"OH DEAR..." Frisk moved his fingers to watch as Papyrus got up and started coming Sans way.
"YOU RAT OUT ON HIM TO SAVE YOUR OWN SKIN YOU GODLESS SCOTTISH PILGRIM SUKHAM JUGGLING SEARCHING IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU--"
"Hatter!!" Yelled Napstablook and Papyrus immediately changed back.
"Thank You.." He said in a horse voice as Sans exhaled and let himself fall off the chair in relief.
"Meow.." Mk said and Metatton chuckled. Papyrus starightened his back.
"I'm Fine..." And he went back to his seat.
"oh come on, boss...you used to be the life of the party!" Sans said from the ground as he floated up takig another cookie. Frisk was sipping her tea as she watched Papyrus beam then frown. The Hatter sure was mad. But at this point? she must have been just as mad.
"AH YES~~ HATTER DID THE BEST FATAH-WHACKEN IN ALL OF LAND~" Frisk tilted her head as she took a piece of cake and took a bite.
"Fatah what?" She asked. Sans was now floating behind her and tickling her nose with his tail. She frowned at him and he shrugged teleporting back to his seat.
"Fatah-whacken miss!!" Said Mk excited as he swang his tail in excitement.
"...it's a dance....." Said Mouse as he smiled a bit, probably remembering the dance. Mk started giggling as he got up on his chair and started dancing. Mettaton giggled.
"ONLY ON FRABJOUS DAY...ONLY WHEN THE WHITE QUEEN WILL ONCE AGAIN WEAR THE CROWN...ONLY ON THAT DAY I SHALL FATAH-WHACKEN AGAIN!" Everyone giggled before they all stopped being so jolly. Mk raised his head and his smile fell.
"oh no..." He hid under the table as Mettaton looked shocked at the road.
"OH MY..NOW THAT'S A SURPRISE GUEST I DON'T LIKE..." He hid behind his throne-like chair.
"...oh no....the knights...." Mouse said as he let himself go back into his tea-cup. Hatter's and Sans sockets widened.
"oh oh...goodbye..." Sans said as he dissapeared. Papyrus looked at her and frowned.
"DRINK THIS QUICKLY!!" He pulled out a bottle just like the one she saw back in the room where she fell and she started shrinking. He picked and empty tea-pot up and shoved her in along with her dress. He put the cap on and the only way she could see was through the spout. She saw them: Kinghts in armor looking like playing cards, all dressed in read. They were bringing a Fish-monster with them with red hair and an eye-patch. She looked like she had been beaten down a lot and she was held in a chain-leash. Poor monster...
"OH DEAR..." Mettaton said as he covered his mouth in shock when they all spotted someone else on a armored horse. It was another human..? No it was a human like monster with fangs and reptile eyes. He clearly wasn't human. His skin was pale and he also had an eye-patch with a red heart. Red red and more red. Papyrus cut her sight as they came too close and he put her under the table.
Hatter smiled as he looked at the pther guests and at the 'new guests' who were coming to crash their party. The others at the table took their places. FRisk tried to get out.
"LET ME OUT!! HATTER!!" He shushed her by shaking the tea-pot. The guy from the horse got off. He had black hair and his lizard like eyes were scanning the room. He liked his sharp teeth and smiled a disturbing smile.
"Well well well...if it isn't my favorite group...of lunatics!...where's the fluffy cat?"
"WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US?" Asked Mettaton. Mk stood up on his chair as the lizard man was laughing and they let the fish-monster loose. She started sniffing around and checking around the table like a hound. It was clearly a piranha fish. Sharp teeth and sharp senses. Mk then looked at the lizard guy as he picked up his cup on his head.
"YOU'RE LATE FOR TEA!!" He said as he flinged the cup towards the guy. Mk fell of his chair and the cup came flaying towards him. He dodged and the cup hit one of the playing-cards knights. The people at the table all laughed. Mk was laughing as well.
"We are looking for the girl called...Frisk." The lizard-man said as he came closer to the table and to Hatter.
"SPEAKING OF THE QUEEN! HERE'S A LITTLE SONG WE USED TO SING IN HER HONOR!!" They all nodded.
"Twinkle twinkle little bat! How i wonder where you're at!! Tw--" The man put a hand around Papyrus neck almost choking him.
"if you're hiding her...you'll lose your heads!!" Papyrus smirked.
"ALREADY LOST THEM!! ALL TOGETHER NOW!!
"Up above the world you fly! Like a tea-tray in the sky!!Twinkle twinkle twinkle--" They all kept singing as Undyne started searching under the tables. Mk's eyes widened and Mettaton's face looked shocked. Naptsablook made himself even smaller in his tea-cup and Papyrus looked down. Undyne was right between his legs looking through the spout at Frisk. Frisk made herself small and hid under her dress as Hatter covered the spout with his skeletal fingers. He looked at the fish monster and whispered: 'Down with the Bloody Red Devil." The fist monster frowned at him and got out from under the table. The fish in armor started running. The lizard-man looked at the monster running and sighed.
"FOLLOW THE BLOOD HUNTER!!" He yelled and the card-like knights followed her. He picked up a tea cup and sipped from it.
"WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SUGAR, MY DEAR?" Asked Mettaton. Mk jumped up on his chair with the cup on his head as he caught the cubes Mettaton threw. They all started laughing. The royal knight however wasn't so amused.
"You're all mad..." He said through his gritted teeth. He threw the tea-cup on the ground and all of them laughed. He left on his horse and so Hatter took out the tea-pot. Sans finally showed himself again.
"COWARD.." Said the hatter as he shrugged. Red floated towards the tea-pot and opened it's lid. He immediately closed it as he realized Frisk was undressed.
"oops...uhh, hey boss could ya do something about that??" Papyrus nodded as he picked some of the material from her dress without looking. She could hear cutting and the material being pulled and used. Suddenly, inside the pot he dropped the little dress. She put it on and it was beatiful! Papyrus took her out and he looked her up and down. Sans smile softened at the sight of her.
"I LIKE IT!!" Mk nodded.
"Good think the Blood Hunter is one of us or you'd be dog food!" Frisk tilted her head.
"But what do they want with me..?" She asked.
"OH DARLING! THEY WANT TO STOP YOU FROM KILLING THE QUEENS LITTLE PET!! AFTER ALL...SHE STILL LOVES HER PLAY TOYS..." Frisk frowned. So the Queen thought her subjects were like toys?! That's awful!!
"WELL...I THINK OUR LITTLE FRIEND MUST HAVE HAD A VERY HARD DAY TODAY..SO I SUGGEST WE GO INSIDE OUR HOME BROTHER!! AND YOU ALL SHOULD GO BACK TO SNOWDIN TOWN AS WELL!!"
"Snowdin town??" Frisk asked. Sans looked at her and giggled.
"Yeah, Snowdin town. It's a small town where monsters who aren't under the Red Queen's power live. They act humble..but they aren't. The White queen shall prevail!!" Explained Mk all excited. Papyrus beamed.
"EXACTLY!! NOW NOW LET'S GO IN!!" The three stepped inside the wind-mill which looked much more bigger inside than outside. The place was so cozy!! She loved it! There was a kitchen that smelled sweetly with a living room and two rooms at the second floor alongside a bathroom.
"ok sweetheart we need you in your usual size." Sans pulled out some cake and gave her a few crumbs. Papyrus stopped her.
"YOU SHALL NEED CLOTHES!! HERE!! I HAVE AN OLD SUIT PERFECT FOR YOU!! OH! I HOPE YOU DO NOT MIND--" Frisk beamed.
"Oh! Of course i don't!! I would love to wear a suit!!" Papyrus led her to the bathroom and she ate the crumbs and got dressed when she came out Ches looked stunned. Papyrus looked happy.
"YOU LOOK LIKE A REAL ADVENTURER!!! I LOVE IT!! NYEH HEH HEH!! I SHALL BE MAKING DINNER NOW!! LET YOURSELF FEEL AT HOME..OR LET THE HOME FEEL YOU!!" Frisk and Sans then talked until it was dinner time, after that they all ate Hatter's great cooking and the three fell asleep, Sans in his room, Papyrus in his, and Frisk on the couch. She smiled as she played with her father's clock until she fell asleep. It was a dreamless sleep but it was restful enough...after all...
Something bad was coming, something bigger than a storm and that will wound worse than a knife.
