Chapter 3 - Preparing

The picture above is the seating arrangements of everyone who works on the top floor with Ink.

It was Monday, the day the Possesive and Light Branch would merge into a Branch called the Eastern Branch.

This day would get quiet interesting.

Ink was the first at the Office, breathing in the warm summer air before closing the door to his red car, adjusting his suitcase beford walking into the building. He wasn't sure about how that day was going to go, but he knew it wouldn't be easy to try and get everyone to get along.

Scratch that, Ink wasn't the first one in the Office.

When he reached the top floor and stepped into the Office, there was Sci, setting down name markers on some of the empty desks for the new arrivals.

"Sci," Ink said, setting his suitcase next to his office door, "Why are you earlier then usual?"

"Oh, um..." Sci said, looking diwn at his hands, "I was setting up some name markers where there are empty desks, so the new people know where to sit."

Ink simply stared at Sci before saying, "And are you putting some of them at your corner? You do know that some of them are going to be working with you and have to discuss things with you and Alphys."

Sci held out all of the names labled, "I didn't really set anything of them out yet, I just pulled the out of the box."

Ink walked over, inspecting the names, "Well, I guess we can both put them on the empty desks, Corprate sent me a list of which employees are working in which part. So, it shouldn't be hard."

Ink whipped out his phone, quickly unlocking it before pulling up his messages. Once he pulled up the list of new workers and what they would be working as, they quickly set up the desks in the locations of their job. Sci whined when he learned that a person was joining him and Alphys in the corner of the room for Accounting.

As soon as they were done, Geno had come in, giving them a quick little wave before he started to retreat to his desk. But on the way he noticed the name tags.

"Why do we have new people sitting near me?" Geno asked, the white glitch over his right eye shifting slightly as he turned in his chair.

"Because," Ink said, "You're not the only one who can do sales next to a window."

"But Ink!" Geno whined, pulling at his scarf, "I hate new people!"

"Too bad, meeting new people is a part of life."

Geno wasn't very good with meeting new people. He often appears as rude and hating towards anyone new, since he's had a slight problem with trust issues. But, once he gets warmed up to a person, he would risk his life for them.

Geno and Ink had known each other since middle school, which was why Geno even decided to get a job at the Light Branch. Without Ink, Geno wouldn't talk to anyone unless absolutely necessary. It took over a year just to get Geno to warm up the the rest of the staff, and that was when Ink dragged him out of his chair and made him say hello. So, this merging may not go well without Ink for Geno.

"Stupid new people..." Geno muttered, typing in his password into his computer.

Blue happily skipped in afterwards, the situation from yesterday seemingly never happened to him. He gave a hello before going to his desk, looking at the nametags on the other two desks near him.

"I'm getting two new friends near me?" Blue asked happily, "That is so cool!"

"And one of them is Dream's brother, too," Ink added, "I think it's the Nightmare guy."

Blue glaced over at the name before nodding, confirming it was indeed Nightmare.

"Nightmare Sleep, that's Dream's last name!" Blue giggled, "That means they're related!"

"But Dream doesn't talk about him very much, maybe they have bad blood?" Sci asked.

"Oh, no," Geno interrupted, pressing his feet against the desk to push himself backwards from his desk, "Dream does talk about him, but it's usually about how Nightmare ignores him. He ignores his calls, ducks when he sees him in public, and sent him a letter with money, telling Dream he would get more money sent in the mail if he doesn't call him. That was the day Dream came in crying, remember?"

"Oh, poor dream, his brother sounds mean," Ink said.

"That's really heartless of Nightmare, huh?" Sci asked, scribbling down some numbers onto a sheet of paper.

"Maybe Nightmare is just shy?" Blue asked.

"No," Ink sighed, "It does seem that Blue and his brother have relationship issues. We should get to work now, I have to go sign those papers."

"Righty." Geno said, moving his chair back to his desk.

After a few minutes Lust walked in with Alphys, discussing with her some tips about what to do on her date that was tonight.

"Just don't show too much of yourself, because first dates are different then clubs, because you might meet up again," Lust said, adjusting the bag slung over his shoulder, "And order something not cheap, but not expensive. You want to show you are worth a good meal, but you still have their money in mind. Of course, you can order something expensive, but you'd have to show a lot more."

"T-Thanks Lust, that w-was helpful!" Alphys said, smiling at him before they both separated to their desks.

"Oh," Sci said when she sat down, looking up at her, "You're going on that first date with that girl, right? Undyne, right?"

"Yeah!" Alphys blushed, pushing up her glasses, "We m-met on that r-railroad t-tracks I told you about b-before, and she g-gave me her number, a-and I-I finally called her! W-we're going on that d-date tonight at Muffets. I'm k-kinda nervous about it."

"I'm sure it will go well, you're an awesome person! If Undyne doesn't like you, she's crazy. I think you guys will really click, I can feel it!" Sci reassured her, smiling softly at her.

"T-Thanks!" Alphys said, looking down as her phone with a dreamy sigh at a phone number.

Alphys hit some hard times a few weeks ago, when her suicidal urge was at its fullest, and she went to a train track to be hit by a train. A nearby passer spotted her, but instead of calling the police, she sat down with her on the tracks and told her about how pretty the sky was.

This person was Undyne.

Undyne had sat with Alphys for an hour before convincing her to climb offf the railroads to safety. After that, Undyne talked to Alphys longer before also convincing her to go to a therapist to help with her problems, then gave Alphys her phone number, before she was called by her boss to report to a home robbery (because she was a police officer). Everyone of her coworkers helped her through it, so she managed to get back onto her feet with a more positive look on life.

It took awhile for Alphys to work up the courage, but she finally called Undyne. Over the phone, Undyne asked her to go to dinner with her, a date, and Alphys accepted. And the date was planned for tonight.

At that time walked in Dream and Sans, well, only Dream was walking. He was dragging a sleeping Sans to his desk, plopping him down onto the chair.

"Did Sans fall asleep in the lobby again?" Lust asked, not looking up as he redirected a call to Ink.

"He made it all the way to the elevator, that's a new record," Dream said, giving a thumbs up before sitting down at his desk.

Lust grinned, still not looking up as he lifted an airhorn from a drawer, pressing down on the button, emitting a harsh blaring noise. Sans yelled and sat up quickly from the horn while Sci fell out of his chair from the sudden loud sound, Blue screeching and knocking over a binder on the edge of his desk to the floor.

"I'm up!" Sans yelled, his back slamming into the back of his chair.

"You're supposed to give a warning Lust!" Sci yelled from the floor, getting up.

Cross walked in at that moment, not glancing at the others before sitting down at his desk next to Sans.

"Sans," He greeted, slightly looking up at him before turning on his computer, "I'm assuming the horn was used already. I'm glad I missed that."

"I think I should be in charge of the airhorn, Lust didn't give any warnings!" Blue said, picking up the binder that he dropped.

"No!" Everyone said at once.

You see, Sans often fell asleep on the way into the Office because he had to wake up early. He usually slept in his car, or sometimes managed to walk to the lobby before he dropped into a chair and went to sleep. It usually ended up to be whoever saw Sans first would carry him to his desk. Then, Ink got the idea to buy an airhorn to use on Sans to wake him up. So, he gave the horn to his second in command at first.

Bad idea.

Blue used it constantly if no one would listen to him, or even if he felt it got a bit too quiet. Cross was the first to snap, threatening blue with a summoned knife unless he handed over the airhorn to him. So, Cross had it for the next day, but didn't use it at all, so Sans had slept in until lunch time that day and didn't get much work done. Ink then took the airhorn from him and gave it to Lust, who had been the best choice so far. He only used it whenever someone fell asleep, and he had view over the entire office, so it was a good plan. It's just that Lust forgot to give a warning every time.

"Aw man..." Blue said sadly.

"Don't worry Blue, you have the biggest responsibility of all, being yourself!" Dream encourged.

"Yes, without the magnificent Sans here, downsizing would've happened for sure! Crises averted!" Blue said, clapping before he turned to his computer.

Then the first person from the merged branch walked in.
