UnderVanquish

Chapter 4. - Friendly greetings and offerings. - Page 7.

Temmie thinks to himself. *He kept the rat and had it in his jacket the whole time!? I should have known...Why did i not smell it? It must be this cold climate messing with me.* Shivering.

Horror notices him shivering while everyone else is now looking ahead. "hey temmie, i see you are freezing, look...my jacket is not going to kill you. wear it over you."

Temmie is shivering "I-i rather not, it had a dead chopped up rat in it..."

Horror shaked his head sideways. "want someone to hold you then, to keep you warm?"

Temmie replies with his voice stuttering from the cold. "I-i will endure..."

Gaster says to Temmie in a quiet whisper. "I rather you not freeze to death, just accept the jacket..."

Horrortale-Papyrus says towards Temmie. "IF YOU WANT I COULD HOLD YOU AND KEEP YOU WARM! NYEH HEH HEH!"

Temmie sighed. "I will wear the jacket..."

Horror walks over and puts it over him, with a big smile. "there we go. nice and toasty warm!"

Temmie mumbled. "What the heck...why are you acting like this for?"

Horror replied quietly, unheard by his brother. "would you rather i act unfriendly? that would be unwise here. my acts of kindness will save your life, don't wanna end up as a temmie sickle, that would be a rather frosty situation and end up too cold to tackle."

He chuckled. "It wouldn't be very ice to lose an ally, so take my advice and offers when i give it to you. I live in this place, so i know it... FROM THE INSIDE AND OUT." his eye-sockets black for a moment.

He speaks to temmie more. "temmie, you will learn all you need to know about me and this place overtime with our trips...heh keep it cool with me,listen and everything here will be fine. chill as snowflakes."

Temmie could have sworn he heard Horror laugh, it was a little quiet.

There is laughter behind them both, to hear a familiar voice. "heh, nice puns!"

Horror looks over towards the direction of the voice to see dust grinning widely. "that was priceless!"

Horror replies. "thanks, that really hailed it for me."

Dust replied. "yea, you really broke the ice!"

Temmie mumbled to Gaster. "Make them both stop...wait a minute is that Dust? What is he doing here? Where is Mad Gaster and Toriel at!?"

Horrortale-Papyrus not looking back, he says in an annoyed voice. "I HEAR YOU TALKING TO YOURSELF AGAIN SANS! UGH NONSTOP PUNS! UGH! LET IT REST FOR A WHILE!"

Horror says to his brother. "uhh.., alright bro. Ill stop and later i can roll the ice at grillby's!...huh?"

Now looking back at Dust, he whispered. "hey, i just realized, where is mad gaster and the kid?"
Feeling confused.

Dust whispered a reply. "pay attention to your brother, not me."

Horrortale-Papyrus shouts back. "SANS!!!"

Ho"heh, alright ill take a break for a bit."

10 minutes later. "HERE WE ARE, SNOWDIN! IT MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT IT IS HOME."

Horror replied, feeling confused about dust. "yeah.."

A bear monster walks towards them. "Hey sans! Where have you been!?"

he sees Gaster,Temmie,Dust,Chara and Asriel. "Who are these guys? Why does one of them look like you?"

Horror replied. "distant friends, they came from the ruins and that guy who looks like me, i don't know. beats me. oh and i brought everyone something.." getting out the wrapped up and chopped to pieces rat.

The bear monster says. "Saaaaans what is that!??"

Horror smiled. "a large rat i killed, it came from the ruins. It was pretty huge and should be enough for everyone here."

The bear monster walked up to horror and hugged him. "Thanks sans! You are a real pal!"

Horror replied. "no thanks are needed. just helping out as usual."

The bear monster chuckles. "nonsense, you take care of us! you are the best!"

Horror shakes his head. "yeah i get the food, but i wouldn't say the best. nah, thats in my bro's department."

Horrortale-Papyrus says to Horror. "THANK YOU SANS!"

The bear monster blinked his eyes a few times and he says to Horror. "Sooo...what are their names?"

Horror points at them. "The tall skeleton there, his name is Gaster,the one who is my size. dust and the smaller one there is named temmie. the other two are gaster's kids."

The bear monster replied. "Oh, well welcome to snowdin! It is nice to meet all of you!"

He shakes gaster's hand,dust and then temmie's to finally Chara and Asriel's.

Horror opens the door for everyone. "here we are! Grillby's!"

Horror thinks to himself. *Is everyone in grillby's today? that is a little odd...what is queen undick doing now? not to mention, what is dust doing here?*

They all walk in together and immediately get stared at.

Horror gets multiple friendly greetings from everyone in there. They all stare at Gaster,Dust,Temmie,Chara and Asriel.

Horror says to everyone. "hey guys, these are distant friends of mine, they came from the ruins."

A dog monster wearing a black hood over their face walks over. Sniffing them. "they smell weird...hey i smell something, something good."

Horror grinned, he gets out the rat again from his jacket that is over Temmie. "oh it must be this i brought food. It came from the ruins. killed it myself...say how about grillby cooks it and we all eat?"

Everyone but Gaster,dust,temmie,chara and asriel say this loudly. "YEAH!"

Horror walks over to Horrortale-Grillby and drops it in front of him. "here, chopped and ready to be cooked. Enough for all of us."

Horrortale-Grillby nods, while screaming in unspeakable pain.

Temmie thinks to himself, feeling nervous. *Oh god, what the hell...Why is grillby screaming!? and look like that?* his upper ears twitching alittle bit.

Horrortale-Grillby takes the wrapped up chunks of rat, unwrapping it from the plastic wrap and puts the pieces of rat onto the grill.

Multiple monsters in the whole room are suddenly acting differently in behavior.

A large bird monster walks up to temmie. "You...you look tasty, there is no way you are a friend of sans..."

Horror snapped his fingers, appearing next to Temmie, looking at the large bird monster. He says in a serious tone. "hey bud, grillby is cooking the chunks of meat, settle down!"

The bird monster starts to drool. "But the smell...It's so strong. DON'T YOU SMELL IT!?"

Temmie mumbled. "I do and its revolting."

Horror glaring at the large monster in front of him. "look, my pal's here are not for eating! so sit down and try to relax!"

They quickly grab both of Horror's shoulders. "I JUST RECENTLY LOST MY WHOLE FAMILY BECAUSE OF THIS WHOLE MESS....I WILL NEVER RELAX! I NEED FOOD NOW! IF I CANNOT HAVE THAT TEMMIE, THEN I WILL HAVE YOU!"

The bird monster starts coughing blood and dust, they feel a suddenly jolt of pain in their back and stagger back. To see what caused their pain. "Dogaressa? Why did you-"

"leave sans and his friends there alone!" she snarled.

The bird monster coughed more. "Thank you..."

Horrortale-Dogaressa replied. "For what?"

"For ending my pain. . . . ." she sees them dust before her.

Temmie mumbled. "Shit..."

Dust sighed and mumbled quietly. *well, isn't this place peachy.* He crossed his arms.

Gaster does not know what to say, he feels bad for everyone here. Chara and Asriel are speechless.

Horror sees a empty table and grinned. "hey guys, i see an empty spot over there. Lets take a sit together." They walk over to the table and sit down.

(I do not know how much time to pass on the amount of grilling for a large as heck rat XD)

Horrortale-Grillby starts handing everyone plates of grilled rat.

Temmie's right eye twitched, looking at his plate.

Gaster is disgusted and speechless. Dust is not looking at his plate.

Horror picked up his plate and walked over to grillby. "here, you need this more then me. If there is any left over ketchup, ill have that instead."

Horrortale-Grillby replied. "Thank you, i will search for a bottle for you."

Horror returns to the table and surprisingly not too long afterwards gets a tap on his shoulder. "Here."

Horror's eye-sockets turn black for a moment. "another ketchup bottle...that's nice."

Horrortale-Grillby says in a raspy, horrifying voice that is mixed with pain. "I have no idea how old it is, but i found it inside one of the storage boxes here."

Horror replied. "It should be fine, here i'll check."

"huh, there is no date on it. ah well, i am sure i'll be fine."

He opens the bottle and starts chugging the ketchup bottle. "heh, tastes great."

Temmie gets the coat off and does not touch the plate of grilled rat chunks offered to him.

Gaster moves his plate away, the same for dust.

Horror looked over at them and whispered. "guys, not eating anything is going to make you look strange."

Temmie replied, feeling disgusted. "I am not eating any of that!"

Dust nodded. "yeah, no thanks i'll pass."

Gaster sighed. "I have a suggestion..."

Dust,Temmie,Chara and Asriel look at Gaster.

Temmie raised his right eyebrow. "What is this suggestion?"


Gaster tightened his hands on both sides of his coat. "We actually eat it..."

Temmie,Dust,Chara and Asriel all answer. "no."

Gaster sighed. "We can just find a way to undo what we did afterwards."

Temmie feeling disgusted. "Oh do you suggest puking? Gaster just no...why are you suggesting we eat any of this at all?"

Dust says with a raised bonebrow. "yeah, lay it on us. why?"

"So we do not get a bad rap here, to fit in as it were..."

Horror grinned widely. "the thought of seeing temmie eat the rat sounds hilarious.
but uh, you could always say you are like me and do not eat but seeing as there is more then one monster here it would look kinda odd huh? heh this situation is going sour fast, all we need is green apples to go with it. maybe some salt to add in."

Temmie whispered to Gaster, with a glare. "I am not eating any of that. Just tell everyone our goals, maybe that will be easier. I mean traveling to other universes and what not. Telling them would make sense."

Horror sighed. "i would be careful, nobody here is exactly stable. maybe we should wait a while on that. I know these guys, something that big...might stir up something and it might not exactly be good."

Temmie replied. "I will just give my plate to someone else..." looking at Horror, horror smiled.
Horror says in a blank tone. "I'll give this to paps, he can have extra's for all his hardwork and for the food i never eat!"

Horror sighed, thinking to himself. *I ate alot before...I am a real shithead for doing that, sorry guys.*

Temmie hands him the plate and watches Horror give it to his brother, he turns back to Gaster,Dust,Chara and asriel.

Temmie says to Gaster. "You are not going through with eating it are you?"

Gaster sighed. "Well, there is five of us, not including Horror, seeing as he is from here. Not eating would make us look strange and out of character here."

Temmie replied. "I gave it to someone from here as a way of being nice and rather not eat a disgusting rat, my choice. Good luck getting that taste out of your mouth..."

Gaster's eye-sockets turn black. "I will think of something..."

Dust shrugged. "i have killed countless times...It's not like i am eating something worse, like a human or a monster. I mean who does that?"

Chara feels grossed out. "I feel sick, i will just act crazy and start attacking it." Asriel replied. "I do not think attacking it is a good idea."

Dust shakes his head sideways. "I do not care! Im not eating a rat!"

Chara snapped their fingers and summoned a few bones and sends them through both the plates. "BAH HA HA HA HA! DIE RAT! I HAVE VANQUISHED YOU!"

Asriel looks to notice everyone staring. He grinned at Chara. "YEAH! THE EVIL ZOMBIE RAT IS GONE! WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

Temmie's right ear twitched. "What are you doing? I am right beside you, can you be any louder!?"

Chara whispered. "We have to act our physical ages for our mom, sure we are not near her but acting like this here is sure to get us out of eating the gross rat!"

Horrortale-Grillby walks over to them. "Why did you do that for?"

Chara and Asriel jump startled.

Asriel says. "Because we were playing...sorry for destroying your table, we both lost our appetite from all of the excitement."

Horrortale-Grillby sighed. "Okay." He grabs the broken plates and rat pieces. "I will give these to someone in the room." screaming in agonizing pain as he speaks.

Dust sighed, feeling disgusted. "bottoms up..." He quickly eats it and thinks to himself. *if I had a stomach, I would be puking right now.*

Gaster says to Horrortale-Grillby. "Pardon me, your name is Grillby yes? Do you have anything to drink?"

Horrortale-Grillby replied. "Yes, but i never touch the stuff. There is some leftover Wine,different varieties of Beer and Water"

Gaster says. "Maybe i can have a bottle of Wine?"

Horrortale-Grillby shrugged. "Sure, it is over there at the top right shelf."

Gaster snapped his fingers,grabbing the bottle and teleports back. "Thanks."

Grillby replied. "You're welcome." now walking back to the bar.

Gaster raises a bonebrow at Dust. "You actually ate the rat..."

Dust replied. "are you going too?"

Gaster shakes his head sideways. "I have an idea, that should get me past eating it....."

Temmie replied. "Your not seriously going to get yourself drunk are you?"

Gaster replied. "I never have before but maybe doing so will prevent it..."

"heh, i saw dust eat the rat and heard everything...this is going to be fun! thumbs up for your bravery dust!"

Dust looks to see Horror, grinning widely at him.

Horror smirked. "want me to make rat soup?"

Dust glared briefly at Horror, he quietly growled. "no."

Gaster sighed. "I will get this over with!" he starts drinking down the whole bottle of wine."

Horror says. "damn, a whole bottle!? that is extreme." he starts laughing. "this is going to be funny!"

Gaster shakes hs head sideways. "Give me a few more..." he slams the bottle down.

Horror replied. "you are either nuts or disparate. alright."

Gaster watches Horror grab 3 large wine bottles. "here we go."

Gaster drinks them all. "Now to wait for the effects to kick in."

10-15 minutes later..?

Gaster says while slurring in his voice mixed with stutters. "T-TeMmiE...I SeE two of Yoooou! You HAVE A BROTHER? A...CLONE!?"

He starts to cackle loudly.

"MY FRIEND HAS A CLONE! ISN'T THAT AMAZING!? THE FIRST TEMMIE TO BE CLONED! BAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Now standing, he almost falls head first and picks temmie up. "Y-you are the bestEsT! Best ally and helper! Are we friends?"

Horror chuckled. "yeah, are we friends?"

Gaster quickly moves his head in Horrors direction. "YEEEEEEEEEEEES! WE ARE THE BESTEST OF FRIENDS!" Falling on his back while Temmie is still in his grip.

Temmie says in a concerned tone. "Gaster, let go..."

Horror chuckles. "here, ill help..."

Temmie feels two hands pry him loose from Gaster, placing him on the floor. Looking back to see Horror.

Temmie whispered. "you are being kind again..."

Horror shakes his head sideways, he replied quietly. "It's how i am here, heh if i were back at the lab. I would just watch and let dust handle it...unless things got out of hand or something."

Gaster starts to babble nonsense, his eye-sockets black. "The ceiling is moving, do you see it?"

Horror laughed again. "uh...i think he had a little too much."

Temmie nods. "Yeah...maybe we should sit him up."

He looks to see Horrortale-Grillby walk over. "What is going on!?" looking at horror.

Horror sighed. "my friend here, he asked for a lot of wine and I didn't think it was a bad idea. I thought maybe he was immune to wine. my mistake."

Horrortale-Grillby taps his right foot a few times, shaking his head sideways. "I will help him up and give someone his food."

Horrortale-Grillby helps gaster up, who passes out in his arms.

Chara and asriel are worried.

Chara says. "Will he be alright?"

Horrortale-Grillby nods. "This type of thing happens almost all the time. he'll be fine. Don't worry."

Chara and Asriel both sigh in relief.

Asriel says to horror. "Hor–uh sans, mind if we go back to your house?"

horror shrugged. "I don't mind."

Chara and Asriel leave the building.

Dust stands up and stretches. "sooo...when do you think he'll wake up?"

Horror replied. "beats me, i have never seen anyone drink that much. I guess a few hours or so?" He looks at Horrortale-Grillby.

"Hey, mind if my friend stays here for awhile?"

"NONSENSE BROTHER! I SHALL BRING HIM BACK TO OUR HOUSE! HE CAN LAY ON OUR COUCH!"

Horrortale-Grillby shakes his head sideways. "I will keep an eye on him, he'll be fine papyrus."

"ALRIGHT, WE WILL SEE YOU LATER!"

Horrortale-Papyrus,Horror and temmie wave. Leaving the building together..
