"Claire,did mummy not tell you to kill the boy?" A giggly voice drifted through the air.
"Y-yes mother,it's just I-I" a quiet voice whispered.
"You never do anything right,Claire,guess that means I'll just have to kill you" the first voice giggled again.

"NO!"Frans shouted,sitting bolt upright in bed,breathing heavily.
He looked around his dark room and sighed.
"Just another nightmare..."he muttered irritably.
He lay back down but did not fall back asleep.
His purple soul was glowing brighter with every breath.
"Just...a....nightmare..."he muttered,turning his head to look out of the window.
He expected to see stars but instead he was met with two red,glowing eyes.

The sight startled Frans so much,that he scrambled backwards right off the bed and onto the hard,wood floor.
"Smooth"a familiar voice spoke from above him.
He looked up to those same red eyes accompanied by their owner.
"Claire!"Frans exclaimed,getting to his feet and going to hug her.
"Hey,no touchy shirtless boy"Claire smirked,hopping off the bed.
"Huh?"Frans looked down to reveal his bare chest.
A bright blue blush crept to his face as he slipped on a jacket.

"Better?"he mumbled grumpily.
Claire laughed and hugged him,"Yup,I don't think my boyfriend would've approved me hugging another six pack"
Frans had only begun to wrap his arms round her when he stopped.
"You have a boyfriend?!"he asked incredulously.
"Yup"Claire grinned,"Can you guess who?"
Frans shook his head,staring at her.
"His name's Asriel Dreemurr"Claire smiled,looking dreamily into the distance,much to Frans's annoyance.
"My mum knows him....I think..",he muttered quietly.
"Eh..he's a bit older but whatever"Claire shrugged,focusing back on Frans.

"I'm hoping you're not just here to tell me about your new boo"Frans yawned.
"Nope,I've got news"Claire started,"from Gaster"
Frans looked up,suddenly curious.
"My mother has been bouncing in and out of timelines and killing everyone,but of course,they keep regenerating each time she leaves",Claire started,"but she won't stop until she kills your mum"

Frans was silent and as Claire went to place a hand on his shoulder,he took off his jacket and slipped on a black t-shirt then re-applying his jacket and slipping on black trousers and matching high tops.
"I'm guessing you know the next bit"Claire sighed.
"Yup"Frans muttered,looking up at her,"c'mon,we need to get to the lab"
"What about your parents?"Claire asked quietly.
"I'll tell Gaster to pass on a message"Frans whispered,"Now,c'mon"

They trudged through the cold snow towards the lab in the distance.
"So..this Asriel bloke...where'd you meet him?"Frans asked,for he could not keep the curiosity bottled up inside any longer.
"The lab"Claire smiled,"he wanted to talk to Gaster and noticed me and we spent the entire day together...and then days turned into weeks and weeks turned into-"
"Cool"Frans interrupted her,using all the strength he had to keep the irritation out of his voice.
He seen her look at him out of the corner of his eye,but wouldn't return her gaze and just looked straight ahead at the lab growing larger.

Frans pushed open the lab doors to find two figures talking.
Gaster was one of them but he couldn't identify the other until-
"Asriel!"Claire squealed and ran forwards.
Asriel turned round and grinned and scooped her into his arms.
Frans's eyes lit up blue and he ducked his head,causing his white hair to hide their glow.

"What're you doing here?!"Claire asked breathlessly.
"Gaster called and said that I'd be assisting you on your quest"Asriel grinned.
Frans looked up,revealing the angry,radiant glow of his eyes.
"Why do we need him?"he asked,turning to Gaster.
Asriel looked up surprised,apparently only seeing Frans for the first time.
"Oh,hello there!"Asriel started,ignoring Frans's statement,"I'm-"
"A goat"Frans couldn't help saying.
Asriel smiled slightly,"Well,yes,I am"
Claire was glaring at Frans,but she didn't say anything.

Gaster had glided off down the hall and Frans needed to talk to him.
"Excuse me"he growled and sped off after Gaster.

"Why did you invite him?!"Frans hissed,walking alongside Gaster.
"Well,someone's jealous" Gaster smiled.
"I am not jealous!"Frans growled,his eyes growing brighter.
"He'll be useful,trust me" Gaster informed him.
"Yeah,useful"Frans muttered angrily,"useful for Claire"
"Poor,jealous baby"Gaster chuckled and glided off.
"I am not jealous!"Frans shouted after him.

That night,Frans,Claire and Asriel slept in the lab on cushions and blankets.
Frans opened one eye slightly and growled in disgust.
He turned on his side and he thought about departing tomorrow and having to take goat man with himself and Claire.

After a while,Frans heard deep breathing and turned around to see Claire asleep in Asriel's arms.
Asriel had his head on Claire's and he too,was asleep.
Frans looked at Claire's sleeping figure and his expression softened slightly.

After a while of admiring her,Frans too felt his eyes droop and the last of the blue glow issuing from his eyes,was lost as they shut.
