Undertale: Fay Route

Fay was on the third book of the series she was reading now. Either way, these avian mutant teenagers were always getting into deep shit... Having put the book she finished earlier back into her pocket space, Fay placed the other on the floor and read lying on her stomach, like she hadn't a care in the world. Every now and then she would change positions to keep from getting stiff. At this point in time, Fay's knees were pulled towards her and her book was nestled comfortably between her lap and chest. Fay could clearly hear Papyrus when he woke up. Not that he was trying to be quiet or anything. Did the skeleton even know how to be quiet? Fay didn't much care really. The only reason it registered in her consciousness was because she was worried that Frisk wouldn't get enough sleep. Turning the page, Fay kept to herself when an energetic Papyrus bounded down the stairs.

"AH! HUMAN. YOU ARE AWAKE! IT'S GOOD TO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY EARLY RISER. HOW WAS YOUR SLEEP TALL HUMAN?"

"Hnn... T'was fine..."

"I SHALL WAKE MY DEAR BROTHER THEN SET ONTO THE TASK OF MAKING US ALL BREAKFAST!"

"...'kay..."

Fay continued to read, leaving Papyrus to do what he normally did in the mornings. He did as he said and practically knocked Sans off the couch then went into the kitchen. Groaning, the skeleton looked around in hazy confusion. He looked like he misplaced something and didn't quite know what it was. Finding it none of her business, Fay went back to reading and pretty much blocked out everything else. Turning the page, Fay soon found herself pelted in the face with a familiar warm blanket. Blinking, Fay pulled at the blanket and before anything else, folded it cleanly and put it in her inventory. Criss-crossing her legs under her, Fay went back to reading. A certain skeleton made his way over to Fay and watched her a moment. With a slight smirk, Sans sat across from her and rest his chin in his hands. Realizing that she wouldn't be left alone, Fay closed her book and looked at the being in front of her. Though it was Sans who spoke first.

"you didn't sleep last night... did you?"

"No... But you slept well... I hope you didn't mind the blanket..."

"ah, that was you then? heh, you're a strange one..."

"You already said as such... You're awfully chipper this morning... I would have thought you would go back to sleep after realizing that it was only your brother who woke you."

"eh, i'm allowed to be awake every now and then..."

"Well, welcome back to the world of the living... What were ya looking for earlier? When you first woke up?"

"heh, nice... you saw that eh? i was just wondering where a certain Fairy ran off to... you are still our 'prisoner', and i can't have you running away on us. plus i still don't trust you one bit..."

"Pfft- I wouldn't leave. Frisk is still here. Plus I like it here. The locals are quite interesting, and I find that certain pair of skeletons are quite enjoyable to be around."

Sans raised a brow at this and his smile widened. Laughing to himself, Sans got up and offered a hand to Fay. She took it but only to be polite. She didn't really lean any of her weight onto the tiny skeleton as she stood. Not that this particular form had much weight on it. Dusting herself off, Fay gave a stretch then picked up her book. As much as she would love to vanish it away, she couldn't at the moment. So she was left having to carry it for now. Without looking at Sans, Fay started up the stairs.

"I'm gonna go check on Frisk... Scream bloody murder if you need me~"

Fay didn't pay much attention, but she was pretty sure she heard Sans grumble to himself. Mentally shrugging it off, Fay knocked on Papyrus' bedroom door and waited a moment before entering. As suspected, Frisk was still laying on Pap's racecar bed. Although it would seem that Fay's knock started to wake them. With a warm smile, Fay made her way over to the child. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Fay 'booped' Frisk's nose.

"Good morning my stille kind~ Ready for Undyne today? Pap is making his famous spaghetti~"

Frisk sat up rubbing their nose. They switched to rubbing their eyes and looked around the room. Finally seeing Fay, they smiled in greeting but scrunched up their nose when the saucy noodles were mentioned. Fay laughed at this and watched Frisk scramble out from under the covers.

"It must be nice..."

Frisk looked at Fay questioningly. A look of worry crossed their face. Fay's voice was not as bubbly as it usually was, meaning she was being serious. At least, that's what Frisk guessed. Seeming to realize this, Fay gave a close eyed smile.

"The bed stille kind~ Was it nice to sleep in a bed again?"

Frisk nodded but still looked at Fay in a worried manner. Giving no sign of noticing this, Fay picked up Frisk and bolted out of the bedroom. They didn't exactly have a change of clothes so both were as ready for the day as they were going to get. Getting to the kitchen, Fay carefully sat Frisk down and pulled up a chair to sit next to them. Sans was across the table with his head buried in his arms. No one was sure if he was falling asleep, or already past that point. Not wanting to bother him, Fay turned her attention to Papyrus. He seemed so happy, having company over. But Fay's smile faltered when Papyrus threw some glitter, confetti, and sprinkles into the spaghetti. Not the sauce, the actually boiling noodles... Quickly averting her gaze, Fay looked at the table and noticed it wasn't set. Having nothing better to do, Fay got up and gathered some plates and silverware. She put down a nice little layout and quickly sat back in her chair. Just then, Papyrus finished his arts and crafts that would be everyone's breakfast.

"AH! TALL HUMAN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE SETTING THE TABLE! THOUGH I MUST ASK WHY YOU HAVE SET FIVE PLATES WHEN THERE ARE ONLY FOUR OF US HERE?"

Fay did indeed place five sets of dinning wear on the table, she even managed to find another chair to add to the table. Looking at this, Fay just blinked and shrugged her shoulders.

"Oops... Oh well, I'll put it back after we are done eating. I'm sure everyone is very hungry~ Last night was quite eventful."

"AH YES! I SHALL SERVE OUT MY FAMOUS SPAGHETTI THEN! I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE FINALLY GOING TO EAT TALL HUMAN!"

Fay smiled and nodded. She even picked up her fork to add to the act she would actually eat the food. Of course, she wouldn't. Everyone's talking seemed to have woken Sans and he looked at the table almost startled. He too noticed the extra plate, but said nothing. Papyrus quickly served up the spaghetti and sat himself down. Frisk was looking at the food warily but grabbed their fork. Seeing this, Fay smiled.

"Common my stille kind ~ This batch looks amazing! It's so colorful and sparkly!"

Frisk frowned at Fay but scooped up a fork full anyway. Sans was staring at Fay, he knew she wasn't going to eat and wondered how she would get out of things this time. However, there was another thing that made him curious. Whatever Fay had just said sounded strange. Obviously not even the kid knew what it meant.

"stilleh keind?"

"Stille kind. It's German for 'silent child'. I just think it's a cute nick name. What do you think Frisk?"

Frisk smiled and nodded. They really didn't mind a nick name and this one wasn't too bad. Actually it was kinda of cute, and it wasn't insulting or anything. That, and Frisk was grateful for an excuse to not eat the spaghetti for as long as they could get away with. But unfortunately, this small conversation seemed to be over. Papyrus was looking at Frisk and Fay expectantly to see what they thought of his food. So with determination, Frisk took a bite of the glitter confetti pasta. Sans was apparently already done with his plate and Fay was raising a fork to her mouth when she froze.

"Do... Do you guys hear that?"

"HEAR WHAT TALL HUMAN?"

"i don't hear anythi-"

But before Sans could finish speaking, a strange guttural scream was heard through the walls of the house. Everyone looked around nervously and Fay gave a pointed look. Frisk froze and scooted closer to Fay while Sans and Pap slowly rose from their seats. Suddenly, the front door was thrown off its hinges and ended up slamming against the opposite side of the house. Papyrus screamed and made googley eyes while Sans sweat nervously and his eye started to glow. When the snow and dust cleared, the form of an armored knight stood in the doorway. With a femininely deep voice, the solider looked at Papyrus and shouted.

"Where are they Papyrus?! You left a message saying you caught two of the little bas-"

"UNDYNE! YES, I THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CAPTURED TWO HUMANS. WE WERE ACTUALLY JUST HAVING BREAKFAST. LOOK, THEY ARE RIGHT OVER THERE! SAFE AS CAN BE, AS TO BE EXPECTED OF THE GREAT PAPYRUS!"

Whipping her steely gaze over to where Pap conveniently pointed out where the humans were, Undyne took a menacing step forward. The atmosphere grew tense as sushi lady materialized a spear. Papyrus seemed to realize what was happening and rushed over to Undyne's side.

"UNDYNE NO! DO NOT HURT THE-"

Undyne threw a spear at Fay and Frisk without even listening to Papyrus. With unnatural speed, Fay grabbed Frisk and dodged to the other side of the house. Putting Frisk down and standing in front of them protectively, Fay frowned.

"HEY! What the funk?! Don't go throwing your bohemian earspoon spears at us, ya crazy! You could hurt someone! Look at wha-"

Undyne interrupted Fay by throwing another volley of spears at Fay and Frisk. Again, the purple haired girl grabbed Frisk and whisked them to another part of the house. Undyne scowled and readied another spear while Papyrus tried to stop her. Sans' raised his hand and was about to do something when Fay caught everyone's attention.

"I. AM. TALKING! Sans! You put yur hand down RIGHT this instant! Pap! Calm the funk down! And UNDYNE... YOU! HOW DARE YOU! Apologize right now! You just destroyed the front door and started throwing weapons! This is NOT your house! Have some manners woman! We were about to eat, and what do you do? You barge in and start breaking stuff! Is that ANY way to behave? You do not just throw spears in the house! You're breaking Pap's and Sans' property! I don't care what you think you're doing, but that is just rude! I will NOT have you destroying your friends' home! NO fighting in the house! Understand?!"

Everyone froze in complete shock that Fay had raised her voice. She looked furious and held a sense of authority about her. Sans stared at her with wide eyes as he almost unwillingly lowered his hand. Undyne was completely taken aback by the girl's words and the spears floating around her. Even Frisk was staring at Fay's back and dared not move and inch. Papyrus was the one to speak first and smiled widely at Fay.

"OH IT'S ALRIGHT HUMAN! I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN. BUT THIS IS HOW UNDYNE SHOWS HER FRIENDSHIP! SHE ALWAYS GOES A HUNDRED PERCENT AT EVERYTHING. DON'T WORR-"

"I don't CARE! That was just plain rude. She can kill us outside, okay~ But right now we are going to have a nice breakfast and get along like a fucking family! GOT IT?!"

Papyrus gasps at Fay's strong language and was about to say something when Fay smiled and clapped her hands to gain attention. Her aura softened, but this only made Undyne and Sans even more nervous.

"Well that's settled. As I recall, we have an extra set up at the table. I'm sure Undyne wouldn't mind joining us for breakfast, right? Then we can go outside and sort things out properly! Now! Let's all sit down then~"

With a cheery smile, Fay made her way down the stairs and tidied up a few things as she went. Frisk slowly followed after her and went back to their seat. Papyrus looked at everyone nervously but leapt over to the table and quickly served up another plate of pasta. Sans and Undyne were the last to sit down, both looking completely uncomfortable. With a wide smile, Fay pushed her plate away and rested her elbows on the table and watched everyone eat in awkward silence.
