Wednesday, April 13

Anna eagerly rushes out of the school building, rushing down the sidewalk. Her destination is the Skelebro's house, and the entire group will be there.

Their goal:
Investigate the disappearance of MK, Flowey, and Daisy.

Anna takes deep breaths, pressing a hand on the side stitch she so conveniently gained. She brushes a stray black hair from her face, and puts one foot in front of the other.

The sidewalk cracks pass under her, until the familiar mailbox of the Skelebro's house comes into view. Anna makes a swift turn into their driveway, striding up to the door.

She eagerly knocks three times, hearing shuffling inside. She bounces from foot to door nervously, clenching her fist.

The door opens, and out peeks a nervous looking Sans. He has the skeleton equivalent of dark circles, and a bent posture (or more so then usual.)

"y-you ready?" He says. He stuttered.

Anna nods, and eagerly steps into the air-conditioned home. Her friends are seated at the table, chattering, planning, and bickering here and there.

Anna takes a seat between Undyne and Sans, fiddling with her fingers in her lap.

"Alright Punks! We know where Flowey and MK dissapeared, but what about Daisy?"

"I haven't a-actually h-heard anything..." Carson squeaks.

"S-S-So far, no one k-knows where she w-was when she was t-t-taken..."

"michin s-said she got a call from her."

"SOMETHING ABOUT BEING AT HER SPECIAL PLACE, RIGHT BROTHER?"

"yup. that's what i got."

The conversation drones on, until the group comes to a consensus.

"W-We should l-look in the places t-they w-were taken! You know, f-f-for clues!" Alphys suggests.

Anna nods, followed by the rest of the table.

"MAYBE WE SPLIT UP! THEN WE CAN GO BOTH PLACES AT ONCE!" Papyrus says eagerly.

This is also approved with nods, and groups are decided.

Undyne, Alphys, and Carson will investigate MK's dissapearence, while Anna, Sans, and Papyrus will investigate Flowey's. The groups wish each other good luck, and speed off to there respective locations.

"here, i-i know a shortcut to the park." Sans says. Papyrus grabs him.

"what is it pa-WHOAH!"
Papyrus sweeps him up, settling him on his shoulders.

"eh. ok then." Sans says casually.

Anna giggles, and Papyrus grabs her hand. They swing them, and skip off to Sans's directions. They loop behind a nearby shop, and head in between two big trees.

"We're... Here?" Anna says, confused. She knows the park isn't that close.

"yup. good shortcut, right?" Sans says.

Anna slowly nods, still deeply confused. Sans only chuckles. The three of them walk down the path, to the bench next to the swings. This is where Frisk set Flowey, when Flowey was taken.

"so... what now?" Sans asks.

"I DO NOT KNOW, BROTHER."

"Maybe... Just look around? We might find something." Anna suggests.

No one has any better ideas, so they start with the bench itself. They check on the seat, around the back, and in the grass around it. Then, when nothing is found, the migrate through the rest of the park. Under slides, on the swings, on the monkey bars, and inside the play house. When they arrive back at the bench, all empty handed, they give in.

"I don't think we are gonna find anything..." Anna admits sadly.

Sans slumps down onto the bench, swishing his feet back and forth. Anna sits down next to him, and Papyrus circles the bench, pacing back and forth. Sans kicks his feet, solem and hopeless. How can they find Daisy if they don't have any clues? 

Not just Daisy of course! The others too! Though honestly, Sans thinks he misses Daisy the most.

"WE CANNOT GIVE UP HOPE! WE MUST CONTINUE SEARCHING!" Papyrus exclaims. He bends down, peeking under the bench.

"BROTHER... DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS HERE?" He says, lifting something into the air.

It was a drab piece of red fabric. The cloth reminded Anna a lot of a tie, suit, or maybe a hat. One of the three. It had a little dirt on it, but was otherwise in decent condition. If it was left here, it couldn't have been for more then a day or two.

How long has Flowey been gone?

A day and a half.

Sans picks up the fabric, his expression practically dripping hope.

"pap, where did you find that?" Sans questions.

"IT WAS ON YOUR SHOE!" Papyrus explains happily.

Sans puts his face in his hands, grumbling something like "how did i miss that..."

Anna giggles, and Papyrus beams at the success of his discovery. He doesn't help too often, but when he does, he is happy to have helped. Sans finally lifts his face from his hands, and the fabric is returned to Papyrus. He is probably the best person to hold onto it anyway.

Papyrus once again places Sans on his shoulders, and grabs Anna's hand. They walk of into the trees, smiling. They had discovered a clue! This was a huge step in discovering where their friends had been taken.

They loop between the same two trees, appearing near the house. Is it just Anna, or did they come out a little farther to the left? She quickly dismissed this as her own imagination. She wouldn't be surprised if there was more than one path.

They storm through the doors of the house, only to discover that the rest of the group had arrived first. They all sat around the kitchen table, examining something. A clue of their own, maybe? Hopefully.

Sans takes a seat next to Undyne, and Papyrus sits next to him. Anna sits next to Carson, with Alphys on her other side. They all looked at the center of the table, where the object they had found lays.

A piece of red fabric.
