I woke up late at night, just like I planned. Nobody was awake at this time... that was good. Good for me, at least. I opened the door to my room and looked out into the hallway. Nobody. Still safe. All the doors were still closed, except for Frisk's, who was open a bit. I carefully walked out into the hall, closing the door quietly behind me. I had become used to quietly sneaking around at night from my childhood. I always used to sneak downstairs to raid the sweets cupboard in the middle of the night when I was a little kid, back when we still lived in Snowdin.

Since an outbreak of a mysterious disease in our hometown and made it an unsafe living space, we moved into Dr. Alphys' laboratory, in Hotland. "We" as in me, my older brother Sans, my best friend Undyne, the two humans, Chara and Frisk, a few other humans, the Dreemurr family, and a few others. Even some... odd friends we met. They looked like us, but with different personalities and clothes.

Since my father, W.D. Gaster, is such a genius, he worked on machines to interact with other universes. Underswap, Underfell, Altertale, Alterswap, Alterfell, Storyshift, all these crazy universes. It really was stunning. We had brought some of the people from those universes back with us — Blueberry, UF!Frisk, US!Pap, UF!Pap and UF!Sans (who we called Edge and Fell respectively), all sorts of awesome people. They're all really cool, and we do a lot of things together. We even ended up in some really weird places, like Mafiatale, which was really cool. I'll write about how we did that another time. I guess they're just "you had to be there" kind of things.

I peeked into Frisk's bedroom. They were fast asleep, a book dangling from their hand, with Flowey asleep on their bedside table. Flowey is another friend of ours who just so happens to be a sentient, talking flower. I don't really know how he coexists alongside Prince Asriel, considering he used to be him, but none of us really question it. He's linked by the SOUL to Asriel, which is pretty cool. I walked quietly into the room, making sure not to wake Frisk. They had been paranoid about break-ins lately, thanks to rising crime rates around the Underground, and were easily awoken. Luckily for me, the Great Papyrus is excellent at traveling from Point A to Point B swiftly and undetected. Don't ask how I mastered that skill...

I stood over Frisk's bed for a moment, probably looking pretty creepy now that I think about it. Their hair was scruffy from tossing and turning, and they wore light blue pajamas with small, paler blue polka dots. I smiled softly. My human friends were all very adorable, especially when they were asleep. They looked so peaceful. I was tempted to just leave them alone, but I decided against it. After all, I had planned this out perfectly. Why throw it away now? I turned to Flowey. He was also fast asleep in his flowerpot, a pink ribbon tied around it as a gift from Frisk. I smiled again. He was the one I needed for this plan.

I carefully picked up Flowey's flowerpot — he didn't even stir. The Great Papyrus has a gentle touch, after all. Thanks to my softness, I was tempted to give him a hug, since he was one of my best friends and I really liked him, but decided not to. I couldn't risk waking him up. Damn my fondness of my friends! I quietly stepped out of the room after placing a notebook paper on Frisk's bedside table, attempting to mimic Flowey's handwriting.

Howdy Frisk,
I went outside for some fresh air. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. After all, you've seen better than anyone that I can put up a hell of a fight! I'll be back before you know it, alright?
Sincerely, your pal, Flowey

It turned out almost perfect. After all, the Great Papyrus is great at many things... including forgery.
