Holly

She sat on her bed worn out, tired, and sad. It had been a while since she last saw her mother.

"Undyne! So nice to see you again!"

Holly looked up to see her father on the foot of her bed, grinning.

"Daddy, not right now..." She said sadly.

"But don't you know? In this world, it's kill or BE killed!" He shouted, tickling her.

She screamed in delight and picked a nerf gun, shooting her dad in the chest.

"No Flowey! In this world it's spare and be spared!" She shouted, running out of the room.

She laughed as her dad chased her and she quickly hid behind the couch.

"Alphys! I need backup! I repeat, I need backup! Send Mettaton!" She said quietly into a walkie talkie.

She was answered with silence. She stood up and walked to her parents room to see and empty bed. She began to cry.

"Oh honey..."

"Daddy, when is mommy coming back?" Holly questioned, hugging her father.

"I... don't know, sweety." Her father sighed.

"Yes you do. I know you do." She pried.

"Sweety... mommy's not coming back..." Her father choked.

"Why not? Did I do something bad? Did I upset her?" Holly questioned, tears threatening to spill again.

"Oh no, sweety. Mommy was very sick. She went to a better place where she feels so much better now." Her dad had begun to cry.

"Is she happy?"

"Oh, she is so very happy. She would be even happier if we were happy too."

***

"Daddy! I got one!"

"Your brother is going to need to go home for a nap soon, sweety."

"Can I shoot one more?"

"With your aim I'm surprised you finally got one." He joked, ruffling her hair.

"One more, pleeeeeeeeease!"

"Fine, one more."

***

"Honey, please!"

"No! Dad, I'm done! They took Tommy!"

"Honey! Put the gun down! We can't stop them!"

"They had no right to take him!"

"Sweety... they had every right..."

A gunshot went off.

"Oh my gosh!" She pauses, in fear. "Oh my gosh! Daddy, I'm so sorry!"

Silence responds.

"Daddy please answer me!"

Jordan

"Mom, I'm gonna stop world hunger when I'm older."

"You do that, sweety..." His mom replied, flipping through a newspaper and taking a sip from a bottle.

"Dad do you think I can do that?"

"Shut up, you failure of a son! Why don't you have more realistic goals!? Like a garbage man?! Or a postal worker?!" His dad shouted, chucking and empty glass bottle across the room.

The glass shattered and went flying, a piece cutting Jordan's face.

***

The door opened to reveal a girl in a pizza place uniform with tears streaking down her face.

"I-I have an order for J-jordan..."

"That's me... may I ask what's wrong-" He paused to look at her nametag. "Makayla?"

"My mother died of cancer today... I just got a phone call because my cell phone was dead all day and I just got a chance to charge it... my sister is probably heart broken..."

"I'm so sorry. I'll pray for you and your family."

"Thank you... Jordan... that'll be nine fifty nine."

***

"Jordan, we're kicking you out."

"Mom, I'm only seventeen!"

"Don't care. Your father is currently unconscious so I'm making the decision. I'm kicking you out. I've packed your bags, just leave."

Andrew

"Mommy! I'm scared."

"Don't worry little guy. The doctors are going to fix your eye."

"But it's okay. I can't see out of it anyway."

"I know but your dad wants you to be able to see out of your eyes. He says he doesn't want you to be half blind, especially with those beautiful green eyes."

***

"What do you mean you can't fix it?!?!"

"Sir, if we do the surgery we risk damaging his brain. Not to mention we would have to use a fake eye and there's no telling what color it will be when we put it in."

"I've used most of my money on him and I want it done right!"

***

"Hi baby, how are you?"

"I feel like I swallowed a duck."

"What..?"

"Pineapples are babies of apples and pine trees."

"Sweety, you're fourteen. Please act your age."

"Chicken nuggets are the best! Can we get some?!"

It was silent for a bit.

"Ms. Velcor I told you there was a risk his brain would be damaged."

"I don't care! That's not my son! My son is a genius, with two bright green eyes, and has his sanity!"

"I also told you we didn't know what color the eye would be. We had no idea it was going to be blue!"

"That isn't my son. Get that monster away from me."
