Chapter 21 - Late Forms

Sci woke up to the shaking of his little brother.

He cracked open his eye sockets, fumbling for his glasses on his nightstand before putting them on, squinting at his younger brother.

Scirus was shorter then him, with a long skull with curious white eyes looking back at him. He was wearing a green scarf and a blue shirt, along with black jeans and black tennis shoes, which one of the tennis shoes were untied.

Sci was laying in a normal sized bedroom, the white sheets tangled around his legs. He was wearing a pair of green pajamas with little llamas decorated across it. The room had a few science posters hung up on the tan walls, the floor covered with a few clothing items he forgot to pick up.

"Sciiiiii!" His brother dragged on, "Wake up, I'm going to be late to school and you have to drive me!"

"Right, yeah, I'm up!" Sci groaned, sitting up before he stood up, still a bit groggy from just waking up.

"I'm already all dressed up!" Scirus said, throwing his arm into the air in victory, "Hew hew hew!"

"Nice job bro," Sci said, patting his head, "Did you eat breakfast yet?"

"I will go do that right now!" The younger of the two yelled, running off with a quick, "Hew hew hew!"

Sci shut the door and locked it behind him, quickly pulling off his shirt and tossing it to the floor before putting on his usual outfit he always wore to work.

He liked his job, generally. He and Alphys got along great together, and he was getting used to Death, so his little corner wasn't really an issue. He was also starting to get a bit used to his new co-workers, so everything was pretty great. It was a week since they first joined, and everyone is getting along better thanks to the cruise.

When Sci was done changing, he exited his room and went into the kitchen, watching as his brother poured himself a giant bowl of cereal that almost over flowed from the plastic bowl.

The kitchen was small but cute, with white countertops and black counters. There was a backdoor sliding door that led to a small fenced in backyard, where a few sporting items lay in the grass.

"Woah there," Sci said, rushing to his brothers side and removing the milk container from his hands, "Don't overflow it!"

"Whoopsie," Scirus said, looking down at the bowl, "Should I add more cereal to even it out?"

"No," The elder of the two said, opening up the silverware drawer and pulling out two straws, "Looks like we're using a bowl to drink some milk!"

Scirus giggled, grabbing a straw before sticking it into the bowl. The two siblings drained the milk levels down to a suitable level with their straws before Sci let his brother add the cereal in, giving him a spoon.

"The wonderful Scirus was victorious once again! Hew hew hew!" He cheered, holding his spoon up into the air before he started to devour his breakfast.

Once they both ate breakfast, the two siblings piled into the car after getting ready for the day, driving off to the school first.

"Bye bro, have a fun day at school!" Sci said as he hugged Scirus.

"Bye Sci!" Scirus said, hugging back his sibling before running into the school with his friends.

And with that, Sci drove off to work.

~~~~~~

"H-Hi Sci," Alphys greeted him when he sat down.

" 'Ello there," Death said, giving a quick wave to Sci.

"Did y-you send in t-those f-forms?" Alphys asked Sci as he turned on his computer.

"What forms?" Sci asked her, looking up.

"Dude," Death said in disbelief, "The tax forms that Corporate HAS to get every month. They called this morning and said they didn't get them."

"Crap!" Sci said, scrambling to open a folder on his desk before pulling it out, "I forgot to put them in the mail!"

"U-Unless you get them t-turned I-in by today, w-we're going t-to be in a-a lot o-of trouble," Alphys said, "You h-have to drive i-in t-today and get th-them t-turned in!"

"I'll go ask Ink to let me drive there!" Sci rushed to say it, scrambling up and scooting towards Inks Office, earning a few glances of confusion from his co-workers.

"Ink!" Sci yelled, throwing open his office door.

Ink yelped from the sudden intrusion, falling out of his chair from being startled.

"Sci, what the heck?" Ink asked from the floor, rubbing his head where he hit it.

"No time!" Sci said, rushing around the desk to help Ink up, "I need permission to drive to Corporate and turn in the Tax Forms!"

"You forgot to send in the tax forms Sci?" His Boss asked as he stood up, "You know that's a really big deal, right?"

"Yeah, I know," Sci groaned, covering his face, "Just call Corprate and ask permission for me to drive up, please!"

"Ok," Ink said, typing into his desk phone and pressing speaker, "But you might get in trouble because they were due yesterday."

"I know," Sci repeated.

After a few rings, the phone picked up, Tainted's voice coming through the phone.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Yeah, hi Tainted," Ink said, "It seems there was a problem and Sci, from accounting, wasn't able to turn in the tax forms. We were wondering if he could have permission to drive in and turn them in."

"I mean, yeah," Tainted said, taking a pause before continuing, "We obviously need them in, so make sure he drives down here with someone else."

"Why do I need to come with someone else?" Sci interrupted their conversation in confusion.

"I need someone from the sales department to come in, I'll explain it when they get here," She explained, "Actually, Fell would be a great idea, so if you could bring him in, that would be appreciated."

"Um, why Fell exactly?" Sci asked, tugging at the edge of his sweater nervously.

"I'll explain it when he gets here, I just need him," The Boss of the two sighed into the phone loudly, "Just hurry up, ok?"
~~~~~~
Tainted leaned back in her chair, sighing as she ended the call with the head of the Eastern branch, Ink.

She then returned her gaze to the purple bubble floating above her desk, where her sister's image was being projected through the bubble.

"Thanks Tainted!" Bubbly laughed, "Remind me to give you a hug later!"

"Will do," Tainted said, smiling as she watched her sister practically jump with excitement, "And why did you want me to get Fell over here with Sci? I'll have to give him an apology for making him drive all the way out here. It's a two hour drive from their building to here, you know."

"That means they'll be spending a whole two hours in a car together, alone!" Bubbly giggled, "I'm so excited I can hardly contain it!"

"Sometimes I never get you, Bubbly."
~~~~~~

Meanwhile, while Sci and Ink were on the phone with Tainted, Lust and Death were having a little conversation of their own over the half wall between their two desks.

"So, what happened?" Lust asked, leaning back in his chair while staring at the Office.

"Sci needs to turn in the tax forms, he should be getting permission from Corporate," Death explained, tapping his fingers against the wall, "I hope he gets it."

Suddenly, Sci rushed out of the Office and headed straight to Fell's desk, a green blush spreading across his skull each step closer he got to the desk of his new friend.

Sci started talking to Fell, which Lust and Death couldn't make out because he was talking quietly. Fell replied, looking up and over at the skeleton with glasses. Then he stood up amd grabbed his bag, throwing it over his shoulder before switching off his computer and walking towards the exit with Sci in the lead.

"Hey Lust," Sci said, tapping the receptionists desk, "We're driving off to Corporate to turn in the tax forms, do you need anything for us to take as well?"

"Yeah, this, actually," Lust said, holding out a folder labeled 'Weekly reports', "Thanks."

"No prob, see ya flirter later," Fell said, giving a quick wave before they headed off.

"I've never seen Fell that excited to leave work before," Death grumbled, tilting his head, "You think they might make out in the car?"

"Maybe," Lust whispered back, "Sci looks pretty happy for screwing up. He probably has a crush on him."

"Yeah, probably."

"Do you have a crush on anyone?"

Death grinned to himself, looking over at Lust before replying, "Obviously that cutie Geno. I would ask you, but I know you like Horror."

"How-?"

"I saw you looking at him on the cruise. And don't worry, I don't think Killer and Horror are going to last, but I have an idea to get him to notice you more."

"...What's your idea?"

"An alliance between us," Death said, pointing at himself then at Lust.

Lust giggled at his proposal, turning in his chair, "An alliance? What would that even do?"

"It's pretty simple," Death said, pulling at the rope around his neck, "We can pretend that we've started dating. Go out on fake dates, maybe do double dates with Horror and Killer to make Horror jealous. We could be all kissy and cuddly when Geno and Horror are watching to make them get all angry and demand our love. What do you say?"

Lust stood up and walked up to Death, pecking a small kiss on his forehead.

"I think that's a great idea, babe."

~~~~~~

Fell buckled himself into the passengers seat, looking over at Sci.

"Nice ride," He grunted, "The seats are pretty nice."

"Thanks," Sci said, smiling down at the wheel, "I built it myself from a few pieces of junk from a junk yard."

"That's pretty im-" Fell stopped midway into his sentence, staring in horror out the window as someone exited the warehouse.

It was Edge, his older brother, who was out to take a smoking break due to the cigarette hanging from between his lips. His eyes caught Fell's before he frowned, probably suspecting Fell wasn't doing his job.

"Drive!" Fell suddenly said, turning towards Sci.

Sci turned the car into reverse, backing out of his parking spot with a confused look being shot in his co-workers direction.

"Why?" The skeleton with glasses asked.

"Just go!" Fell yelled as Edge started to approach the car.

Sci panicked from the sudden yelling and stepped on the gas, the car lurching forward at high speeds and he flung out of the parking lot.

"Jesus Christ!" Sci squealed, shooting down the road with his foot still pressed firmly against the pedal.

"I didn't say try and kill us in you're car!" Fell yelped, "Slow down a bit!"

Sci was too busy being terrified of running into anything to pay attention to Fell, swerving around a corner. His passenger decided to take action in his own hands, reaching over and and forcefully ripping Sci's foot off of the gas.

Sci squealed and finally managed to calm down, quickly lowering his speed into the speed limit, causing Fell to sigh with relief.

"Holy sh*t," The male sighed, leaning back into the chair and rubbing his cracked skull, "You almost killed us."

"Sorry!" Sci squeaked, his skull flushed with embarrassment, "I don't do well when people suddenly yell at me, especially when I'm behind the wheel. I'm a panicky driver."

"Yeah," Fell chuckled, stretching his arms as they now drove safety and smoothly down the empty road, "I can tell."
