FRISK'S POV

I sit up and look around, 'Another Nightmare' I think, I look at my clock and

7:27

Great, time to get ready for another day of hell. I grab my phone and scroll through,

'Maybe I can listen to it again, it's always makes me feel better'

I press play on the message.

(Sans is bold

Papyrus is italics

And Undyne is underline

Heya. Is anyone there?

Well, I'll just leave a message...

So... it's been a while,

The queen returned, and is now ruling over the underground. She's instated a new policy... all the humans who fall here will be treated not as enemies but as friends.

It's probably for the best, anyway.

The human souls the king gathered... seem to have disappeared. So, uh, that plan ain't happening any time soon.

But even though people are heartbroken over the king...

And...

things are looking grim for our freedom... The queen's trying her best not to let us give up hope

So, uh, hey... if we're not giving up down here... don't give up wherever you are, ok?

Who knows how long it will take...

But we will get out of here. That's a promise

Sans! Who are you talking to?

Oh, nobody

What!? Nobody!? Can I talk to them too???

Here, knock yourself out

Wait a second...

I recognize this number!

Attention, human!

I, the great Papyrus...

Am now captain of the royal guard!

It's everything I've ever dreamed of!

Except, instead of fighting, we just water flowers.

So that's ever-so-slightly different.

And, we're helping Dr. Alphys with her research!

She's gonna find a way to get us out of here.

Undyne is helping her too!

Though, to be honest, her method of helping seems kind of explosion-inducing.

But I think Alphys likes having her around.

Uh oh!

Hey! What are you up to, punk!? Ngahhhh!

Please don't noogie the phone

Hey! Who's in charge here!?

Me

Oh... yeah, that's right! I quit my job as leader of the Royal Guard.

Actually, since we won't be fighting anymore... The Royal Guard totally disbanded.

There's, uh, only one member now

But he's extremely good!

Yeah, he is! C'mere!

Please don't noogie the skeleton.

Anyways, now I'm working as Alphys' lab assistant...

We're gonna find a way out of this dump once and for all!!

Oh, yeah, and I'm a gym teacher at the queen's new school.

Did you know I can bench-press seven children!?

Awesome, right? ...

Hey. I'm sorry about what happened with ASGORE.

You were just doing what you had to. It's not your fault he... Ah, darn it. I miss the big guy... Come on, Undyne! Snap out of it!

Uh, I guess I'll tell you how Alphys is doing.

Well, she's the same as ever. Maybe a little more reclusive than normal. Seems like something's really bothering her... But she can get through it! I'm there supporting her!!

That's what friends are for, right?... Hey, wherever you are... I hope it's better than here.

It took a lot of sacrifice for you to get there... So, wherever you are... You have to try to be happy, okay!? For our sakes!

We'll feel better knowing our trouble was worth it.

We're all with you! Everyone is! Even the queen!

HEYYY! WAIT a second! TORIEL! TORIEL! Do you wanna...?

Heh, she says she's busy

But if she knew who we were talking to...

We wouldn't get the phone back for at least a few hours

We have the mercy to spare you from her!

But call back any time, ok?!

She'd love to talk!

Um, so, I was gonna ask for your help with delivering this letter to Alphys, but now that you're gone beyond the barrier,

I guess it's too late... Ah well. I guess it wasn't... meant to happen

Oh, whoops. This thing's almost outta batteries.

So, hate to cut this short, but... be seeing you, ok, buddy?

Bye bye for now!

See ya, punk!

And with that, I was ready for school. Maybe I could call them. I've tried a few times and they've tried to call me but, we've just been playing phone tag. I have so many messages from all of them from 6 years of phone tag. I just miss them so much, although I've always had trouble talking to Toriel, I want to call her mom but she may ask about my real 'mom' . She doesn't care about me, no one does up here. Well go to the bus stop and grab my earbuds then I scroll through my contacts.

I should try Sans

RING

Hang up

Why did I do that!

Well the bus is here
