Click...click...click...click...

Fiyoku let out a slight sigh of boredom as she pressed the channel button over and over again, her eyes scanning over each show she saw on screen but nothing really piquing her interest.

"How is it that humans have so many shows but NOTHING to watch?" she asked out loud, finally settling on reruns of Sabrina The Teenage Witch for background noise as she glanced at the clock.

"Hmm...dad's been gone awhile...I hope he's okay..."

When Fiyoku had gotten home from Miwa's to find a note from her dad, she was a bit concerned at first. However, upon seeing it was left because he was going to see Sans, her worry had lessened to pure glee in an instant. They hadn't spent this much free time together since the barrier broke. It was good to see them both in a good enough place on the Surface that life had begun to allow them time to socialize again.

Especially with each other.

Fiyoku giggled mischievously at the thought before turning back to the show, though her mind simply continued to wander rather than absorb anything she was watching.

To say that she shipped her dad with Sans would be an understatement. When she was younger, she honestly thought Sans WAS her second dad. With no mom in the picture and Sans spending so much time with her and her dad after she was born, it was only natural she would assume so. He did all the same things her dad did after all. He watched out for her, helped cook meals, walked her to school when her dad had work, tutored her when she needed it, set up hangouts for them both whenever she had a bad day. Even when he couldn't visit as often, he was always still there.

Fiyoku had known for awhile who her mom was, even if her dad didn't know it. And in her mind it didn't really matter to her. Maybe someday it would be interesting to properly speak face to face...but Fiyoku just didn't feel like it was needed. She had all the family she needed already.

Fiyoku couldn't help but grin as she remembered her dad telling her about the first time she ever called Sans "Papa".

It was shocking to her dad to say the least.

In The Past

"DAAAAAAADDY!"

Grillbz let out a tired sigh as he walked into the living room, smiling at the sight of Fiyoku in the playpen.

"Yes princess?" he asked with a chuckle.

"Snas?" she asked innocently, tilting her head to the side.

Grillbz couldn't help but grin with a laugh as he lifted her into his arms.

"No, Sans isn't coming over today. He has training. He said he'll come by tomorrow though." he answered as he sat down on the couch, holding her close to his chest.
