*A few days later...

-At the fire household-

Grillby: *reading the morning paper while drinking coffee at the kitchen table*

*The paper is littered with the faces of dozens of missing monsters, including Sans.

Grillby: *sighs, putting the paper down*

Fuku: *walks into the room, still in her pajamas* *yawns, stretching* 'Morning, giver of my life! *rubs her eyes*

Grillby: *chuckles a little* Good morning.

Fuku: *sees the paper sitting at the table* *furrows her brows at it* Dad, are you alright?

Grillby: *nods, pushing his glasses up*

Fuku: *looks towards him* Why do you keep reading the paper? It's not like we can do anything about it since we can't fully trust the weird voices. *points to the ceiling*

Grillby: *shrugs*

Fuku and Grillby: !!! *both jump, hearing a voice*

TheRandomRose: There is one condition, if we are to give you that information.

Fuku: *blinks twice* Wait, do you mean the info to where Sans is? *flames crackle brighter*

Grillby: I assume so. *seems to be very intrigued*

TheRandomRose: (Directed towards Grillby)

You have to kiss sans on the lips(?) when you save him.

*DEAL                   * NO DEAL

Fuku/Grillby: ...

Fuku: *sticks out her tongue* Blegh! They're like, besties, that's nast--!

Grillby: *pays no attention to Fuku* You're telling me... that you will give me all the information I need... and all the information will be true... and all I have to do is kiss him in return?

Fuku: *blinks, surprised by his willingness* ...

TheRandomRose: Uh-huh. Just one kiss and you get more information on Sans.

Grillby: *seems hesitant, like he doesn't trust it fully*

TheRandomRose: I can give you information about who else is involved in sans' kidnapping. I can tell you what their motives are. I can tell you all that I know for one simple kiss.

Grillby: *thinks for a moment* ... Well... then I'll have to say...

*...

Grillby: Deal.

Fuku: *flames crackle confused* What-? Wait, dad, you just went from 'we can't trust them', to blindly making a deal with them.

Grillby: *stares at her, not seeing where there needs any further explanation*

Fuku: *realizes he won't say anything unless she asks him a question* Why?

Grillby: If they were confident enough to propose that deal, that means he's alive.

Fuku: *flames brighten, seeing where he's going with this* And since they said 'when you save him'-

Grillby: -That means they are confident that it's possible to get him back.

Fuku: *flames glow in triumph* *pumps her fists* AHA! I get it! So, that means since you made the deal-

Grillby: -we can get information to save him faster.

Fuku: *yells* HA! I'M A GENIUS!

*Insert awkward silence here*

Grillby: ... *blinks* ... Yes, indeed...

snowkitten14: First piece of helpfulness: I know for a fact that Sans is not dead as of now. He is very much alive.

StxrsStillFade: GUYS GUYS GUYS!!!!!!!!!! SANS IS ALIVE!!! NOW YOU'VE GOTTA FIND HIM BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING REALLY BAD!!!

Fuku: We already know he's ali--

StxrsStillFade: Like, take all his magic and evil stuff like that.

Grillby and Fuku: . . .

Fuku: ... Take all his magic?

Grillby: ...

Dark_EeveeXx: *whispers so any bugs can't hear* I can give you information on what happening to Sans, like he's in fact alive. Also, Miss. Johnson is the president of the AMA, the association that took Sans! They want to extract Sans' magic, or something, I think? *back away* *looks around* I'm gonna leave now so I don't get caught! Please trust me!

Fuku: ... What will extracting his magic do...?

Grillby: Best case scenario is that it will erase his memory.

Fuku: ... Worst case?

Grillby: *gives her the, 'Do I really need to say it?' look*

Fuku: ... Got it.

Grillby: ... (Good thing Sunday is in two days so I can get to the lab...)

XX_Temmie_XX: Here's something, in order to get into the AMA (Where Sans is) You'll need a machine on your wrist, and a code. Then past a bunch of cells 5an5 will be here, or Dom whichever you prefer to call him. Don't believe me? When you get there I'll be right

Fuku: What do you mean by a machine?

*... The voices stop...

Fuku: ... Hello?

Grillby: I believe they left.

Fuku: ... Oh.... *flames dim*

Grillby: *sees her composure drop* *tries to cheer her up* I'm sure they'll tell us more soon...

Fuku: I hope so... *realizes she has to get ready for school* OH SHOES! *dashes off* I GOTTA GET DRESSED!!!

-At the main household-

Frisk: *has just woken up* *stumbles sleepily into the kitchen*

Frisk: *is about to open the fridge when they see something on the score board*

*It's a sticky-note.

Frisk: *raises a brow confused, before squinting to read it*

Sticky-note: *is pasted next to Sans' name* "He is alive, I know that. Don't worry guys. He'll be back before you know it. ~Asker #014"

Frisk: ... *a smile suddenly cracks their face* He's... *their face completely brightens* He's alive!

*Their old happy glow springs back to them.

Frisk: HE'S-!

Chara: *walks around the corner* Partner? Why are you yelling so mu--

Frisk: *dashes up to Chara, hugging them so tightly that they lift them up* Sans is alive!

Chara: Huh-?

Frisk: *they look ecstatic* He's gonna be okay! *dashes off, to tell the rest of the house about the news*

Chara: ... *standing still* ... *a small smile creeps onto their face as they shake their head solemnly* ... That comedian.

Frisk: Feel free to ask and dare away!!! *beams brightly up at all of you*

*They are filled with determination.
