Advance happy holiday! It will be... Mother's Day in May 14, Sunday, according to Google. Connection currently hates me. My family's phones are having connection, and mine isn't receiving.

Chapter 25: The Meeting

Peter's POV

The meeting started immediately, but good thing we all arrived early and took the chance to fix ourselves. King Pierce scolded me… but, it was for my fan-fiction! How did he know though? We're the only ones walking earlier…! Oh wait, there are citizens in there… darn.

In that event, I felt like a third wheel or fourth wheel, even though there's a thirdwheel in there, heh. But, who's the thirdwheel though..? The princess, Chara, or my best friend, Jam? I'll make it a tournament, fan-fiction's aside for now.
Hmm, the event happened consisting Chara and Frisk, that almost kissed! That's 1 point for Chara!

Right now, I'm hearing multiple conversations of both races. The meeting is still going, quite more peaceful than I have expected. Though our king and theirs isn't here yet.

Royal scientist, Simon, was trying his best not to sleep. Those eyebags are darker than someone's mind. He's wearing his normal uniform, but some silver details were added. Classy as always.

Duke Vernon was observing the Monsters, terribly. His eyes were like 8 millimeters away from… a short skeleton..? Luckily, that skeleton type monster is sleeping. Though, there's a tall skeleton looking at him, awkwardly. How can a skeleton even look or see? Maybe magic.

Duchess Tania was even more terrible. She's looking almost everywhere. Her eyes are like the light in an ambulance van. Eying almost every monster, some of them were sweating.

Generals and others were in the meeting too.

And when I turned around, I saw something white? It's a ball of white, with crumbles making it ugly. What is it though? Then it hit me, it's a piece of crumbled paper! I felt happy that my mind's accuracy and speed gone fast a bit, and that someone noticed me in this meeting.

I picked it up, and opened it.
And what I saw was...
.
.
….nothing! I've got nothing to do so i just admired it, we have short lives so why not admire a paper? Another crumbled paper hit me in the same direction, —another admiration? I turned my head towards the direction and saw Frisk.

“Sup.” I greeted plainly, I'm bored.

“Hey, Pete! Get Jam and yourself in here!” Frisk communicated in sign langauge, fast. He was near the big wooden door where the royal family was in, except for the king.

“Why didn't you wrote it in this paper?” I signed back, slightly tilting.

“No pen, and quick! I want you guys to meet the Royal Family of the Monsters!” He beamed happily while signing.

I had a hard time processing it, but I nodded and smiled and went to get Jam.

…

I saw Jam making duck faces on a mirror all by herself. That is weird. What's with the ducks? Are those even ducks..?
“Hey, Jam do you need some pieces of bread?”
I asked, behind her.

She turned at me, confused. She was raising an eyebrow and still making the duck face.
“Why do I need some pieces of bread?”
She asked.

“Because ducks eat bread!”
I beamed.

*slap*

A slap kissed my right cheek and I slighlty had a hard time maintaining my balance, good thing no one noticed nor heard. I groaned from the pain, and touched my cheek. My cheek matters…

“Oh for fudge's sake, it's a bit trending in this times! Haven't you heard? Technology is coming..!”

3rd Person's POV

“Seriously, you should listen to a sermon in classes you know, Peter…” Jam sighed, and lightly touched Peter's poor cheek.
“…ehm.. sorry...”
She apologized, quite ashamed. She'd better be.

Peter took the chance to grabbed her hand and held it softly and smiled brightly, “It's okay!”
“Oh, and Frisk told us to come near by the door where the Royal Family of The Monsters was in!”

Her expression quickly change to a pissed off woman but kept her cool in her hands, careful not to make a fist, it would be clearly seen by two races. She asked, gritting her teeth, “Why?”

He held the remaining hand.
“To greet them, silly! And, it's the prince's order!”
He laughed, and held her hands a bit more tight than before and pulled it up towards between their chests, and showed his crystal blue eyes with sparks leaving on it. He's obviously pleading her.

She just rolled her eyes, and sighed, “Okay okay, for you…” she trailed off.

“And for him!” He chirped.

She rolled her eyes again, and followed him.

…

They found Frisk talking to someone, they were both enjoying and laughing in their conversation. And that someone was Chara. “Another point for Chara..!” Peter mumbled to himself and smirked.

Peter felt their hand being suffocated from the tight grip the angry Jam was giving him and his arm thrashed, “Geez! Jam…!”

The couple(( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) looked at them. Frisk was the first to greet, then Chara followed. The two also greeted back.

“You're here! Finally..! The queen already left!”
Frisk pouted, while Chara giggled softly at Frisk's reaction. 

“Oh… sorry! The crowd was slowing us down!”
Peter whined.

“Anyways, Chara told me that she would like to remake her.. first impression.”
Frisk looked at Chara, beads of sweat silently falling from his cheek. Remembering what happened earlier made Frisk and Chara blush slightly.

Chara strightened herself, and nodded firmly. Time to act formal, gurl.
She walked forwards towards them about 3 steps and stopped.
“Y-Yes… I would like to remake my first impression to you two… since my first impression to you two are quite alien-like.”
Peter just shrugged in response, he was the only who responded.

She cleared her throat then greeted them formally, “Greetings! My name is Chara Dreemurr, princess of the Monster race and the daughter of the Royal Family..! It's a pleasure to meet you two!”, smiling softly once again in the processs.

Peter sligtly chuckled to himself and greeted back, “Greetings to you as well, princess Chara Dreemurr! My name is Peter, Peter Thornton. Lead of the guards of my friend, Jam! And also the best male friend of Prince Frisk Strauss!”
He bowed, then posed. Smiling brightly and motioned Jam to greet too.

“Greetings to you too, princess Chara Dreemurr of the Monsters! My name is Jam, Jam Steelson! Daughter of the most trusted friend of King Strauss, and also the best female friend of Prince Strauss!”, she put her right hand on her chest and bowed.

She, Chara, then offered her hand for a handshake of the two, and they all shook hands.

“Such formality...”
Frisk commented behind, trying to stifle his laugh.

Peter shrugged, “Well, we were born in this kind of.. era and place…”

“Words from a prince, huh? Geez, Frisky~”
Jam responded while wiggling her brows at Frisk, who blushed.

Jam just dropped an unexpected bomb, but hey, —Chara's an anime country, she can recover from it.
Chara's response was just a smile. A plain smile, not tasty.
Her smile's only tasty for Frisk—

Crimson red eyes to ruby red eyes. A silent war going on in their eyes.

“Huh, red eyes. Interesting.”
Peter interposed.
“It's incredibly rare to see red eyes. According to this kingdom's history, we only saw like seven.”

“Anyways, the meeting will start any soon now. And I'm afraid the kings will enter this room anytime now. We must go to our destined seats.”
Frisk stated to the three formally.

“Ehehe, well Frisk.. I know where Chara's destined seat is. I'm pretty sure you know where it is~”
Peter commented again, while winking at the two.

“Peter… stop.”
Jam whined. He sighed and nodded, “The meeting is boring… ”, he mumbled.

“As Prince Frisk told us, we should now all go to our… proper places…”
Chara spoke, and bid them a farewell. She left the group slightly blushing.
‘I wish…’

Frisk also bid farewell and hurriedly left.

Jam looked at Peter, pissed.

She sighed, and raised a brow at him, “What are you intending to do?” she asked sternly.

“Just being a soon-to-be best man in the future wedding.” he snickered.

She grumbled and put two fingers (index and thumb) on the upper part of her nose. Closing her eyes, she asked again, “Which side are you on?”

“The Bat's side.”

“What?”
They began to walk in their same direction.

“I said, on your side… geez.”
He sighed, “Take this easy, Jam.”

He continued, “Trust me, I felt this before on a girl… and I suggest you to take it easy.”

“I have a rival. You don't know what love is!”
She crossed her arms, “Do you even know what love is?”

“ ‘Baby don't hurt me! No m’— ow… heh.”
A silent and soft smack towards the back of the head was sent%.

They were now in their seats. Well, Jam only. As a lead of the guards to Jam, he must stand and stay alert for any suspicious movements or/and suspicious beings. Quite tiring and incredibly boring.

“Answer truthfully, Peter!”
She silently demanded, irritated.

“Calm down, I'm just q—”

The conversation of the two stopped, as well as the others'. The kings stepped out from the wodden door. All required officials returned to their seats immediately, and patiently waited for the king to arrive in their seats. Strictness were on both races.

“…Before the meeting starts… I would like you all to meet our bishop who will bless this meeting.”
Pierce motioned someone hiding behind a door. The figure's feet was trembling, but quickly relaxed and went out from their hiding place. “His name is Bishop Angelo.”

The figure was a man, an old man. A few strands of white hair. A full collar shirt and a cassock, all were black, and a biretta. And a symbol of their religion on a golden necklace. He was holding a pouch, filled with leaves.

He greeted them all with a worried smile. And began to praise the meeting.
“Oh, Lord. Praise this meeting with your holiness, and provide them patience and justice. Guide them and their plans to the path where your light is powerful and mighty.” He began to throw the leaves on the table, only for it to disappear. A sign that their 'God' responded.

He worriedly smiled, and left. Then the meeting started.

—Time skip|Meeting still on going—

“—Scientist Alphys, would you like to join me in researching more in Science and it's amazing branches? If you join, then we can explore more interesting things! Your presence and actions can be a big help to our kingdom! And as my return, I would simply help your race as well!”
Simon offered to the fidgeting yellow dinosaur, Alphys.

Alphys looked at her girlfriend, Undyne, who flashed a toothy grin and nodded at her. Confidence and assurance bubbling inside her heart, she nodded in response happily and confidently.

Simon smiled in appreciation, and offered a hand shake. Alphys happily shook it.

Moving on, another subject appeared and presented by Asgore.

“As the rise of our kingdom, we, monsters, would like to have a… permission to enter and exit your kingdom. As a return, you can visit and live in our kingdom as well.”
Asgore offered.

The humans looked at each other and think deep for a moment. Frisk and the royal guards weren't thinking deeply, though. Frisk was silently signing at the monsters, specifically Undyne and Sans.

‘Three o'clock, not thinking deep’
He sliently signed at the two. The two silently chuckled in response, they also looked at the right side of Frisk.

“…Prince Frisk, what do you think? Will you agree to allow the race, monsters, to roam and live in your kingdom?”
Duke Vernon asked him, with a slight tone of disgust.

“W-Well, if I was chosen to choose in any of the choices… I would agree.” He replied, followed by some gasps from his fellow humans. He continued, “Let me finish, I'll agree yes, but just like any citizen living in here, punishments should be put to them if they did something against the law.”

“His answer is quite intelligent, though it's obvious that some random person with a pacifist mask would say that.”
A stern female voice spoke. It was from a general, General Rachel. Wearing a coat of an officer, has 4 insignias.

The king glared at her, she practically laughed it off. “Though, if they—” she glared at the monsters
“—Monsters, will be allowed to enter in this kingdom...”

She paused then chuckled, “…Let me just say… they'll be in good hands.” she weakly and annoyingly smiled at them.

“we appreciate it, lady. you beings are welcomed in our kingdom as well, 'course just like your sentence, you guys will be in good hands as well.”
Sans commented, with his permanent smile.

“we'll be very delighted.” He added.

“So… the final answer is? King Pierce..?”
Duchess Tania asked.

“Just a moment, we need to vote. Raise your hands if you agree to let the Monsters freely roam like us in our kingdom. King Asgore, your kind as well.”
Pierce told everybody in the meeting. Asgore nodded in response and told his officials, who nodded.

Almost everybody raised their hands, and agreed. Except for one. General Thomas.

Pierce motioned to lower the hands, and kindly asked him. “What's the reason, General Thomas?”

“Well, there's a chance that they're here just to take our trust and betray us! Who knows, they could kill people and destroy property! We wouldn't want that!”
He stated, standing from his chair, hands placed on the table.

Every monster and Chara were offended. Sans, Undyne, and Asgore were trying their best not to hurt the rude general. Chara's eyes widened a bit, but she smiled and commented.
“Is that suppose to be good news for you? You can now do your job as a general.”

She chuckled and continued, “Too bad, we aren't evil nor planning something evil in a single bit. Crime rates in our race, are below 5 since the war started. God knows how high is your kingdom's crime rate.” 
She mumbled, “I bet you're high too. Even higher than your kingdom's crime rate.” 

Thomas was pissed. He shouted at her, “why you little—!”

“She's sadly right.” Someone interposed, it was Martha. The most trusted friend of Pierce.
“Our crime rates are high…”

I'm not a fan of duck faces. And, I love memes. Dank, offensive, normal, any kind.
