Your head hurts but you open your eyes. It was dark out and you're cuddled up to Sans. You yawn and stretch when you get up. You go to the kitchen and grab a glass before filling it with water and drinking it. You notice you're still in your dress and smile. Looking around you look around and smile more. You remembered everything now, and you were so happy about that. All your long list memories. You see the time and it read 7 in the morning. Early enough to make some noise. Grinning you wander to the room that Gaster had set up for singing and playing music. Its been forever since you've sang or played the piano.
You walk over to the piano and open the lid. You press a key and the beautiful tuned note rang out. You sit down and start to play a simple tune.
"You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy,
When skies are gray.
You'll never know dear,
How much I love you.
So please don't take my sunshine away."
As you sing you play with only a little difficulty due to the cast on your left arm.
"I'll always love you,
And make you happy.
Because you are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy,
When skies are gray.
You'll never know dear,
Just how much I love you.
So please don't take my sunshine away.
Please don't take my sunshine away..."
As you finish singing you play the last few notes. Suddenly there's clapping and you spin around. Sans is there smiling happily.
"I'm glad that you still play."
"I haven't in a long time. But I thought it was time to put this to use again."
"Do you remember?"
"Yeah, well a great deal more then I did before. We used to play music and sing all the time in here." You smile at the memories.
"Wanna meet up with the others today? I mean I'd take you home to change first."
"Sounds like fun. Where's Auntie and Cammie?"
"They both went home but you wouldn't let go of me."
You snicker. "I remember you used to say that all the time as a kid."
He blushes and you take out your phone. You make a group call with Red, Blue and Dream. Red was annoyed to be woken up so early but when you said you wanted to meet up he lost the annoyance.
"Are you doing okay?" Dream asked.
"I'm doing fine now. Let's meet up. We can spend the day out and stuff." Everyone agreed and Sans teleports you to your room. He leaves you and you decide on something unusual for you. You throw on a blue tank top that has a lace back. Most of my torso was wrapped because of your broken ribs. You pull on white short shorts you put on white knee highs that have kitty ears, a silver heart locket and a red ball cap. You throw on black tennis shoes, grab a small old box that survived the fire and fly down the stairs to get my purse.
Sans looks at me shocked. "You're gonna wear that out? I mean I don't mind but you're okay with it?"
You smile some. "Guess I just feel like something different. Reminds you of when we were little, huh?" He nods and you grab his hand before running out of the house. You drag Sans to the park where you meet with everyone. The others are already there. You see the five boys and wave. "Guuuuuys!" You yell and pounce at Blue. He catches you and gives you a hug.
"GOOD MORNING! ARE YOU FEELING BETTER TODAY? PAPPY SAID YOU WEREN'T FEELING GREAT YESTERDAY."
"I'm doing great Blue! Better than great actually." You bounce and your locket jingles around your neck.
You notice Dream nudge his brother. I'm guessing he was staring. "W-well we're glad you're doing okay." Nightmare said. You reach up and touch your locket.
"I'm okay, I just was visiting my parents. Never fun when that happens." You say with a small smile. "I'm fine now though. Gaster showed me some old stuff and it helped a lot."
"Your parents?" Dream asked.
"Yeah, they passed away a while ago." You smile some at his regretful look on his face. "Its fine. I feel like... like I understand them better."
Suddenly a voice pipes up behind you. "(Y/N)?" You turn and see Com, Inks mother. Hes not here though.
"Auntie Com!" You giggle and run to her. You give her a big hug and laugh at her surprised expression. "I remember stuff now~" you say with a smile. "Oh right, I was hoping I'd run into you today. I have something I'd like you to give to Ink." You pull out the box and hand it to her.
"Oh I'm so sorry for how he acted at your parent's grave yesterday." She takes the box from you.
"I understand. It's fine. He's hurting too. But give that to him, he'll know how to open it."
She smiles at you and nods. "Your parents would be so proud of you."
"Thanks Auntie Com. I'm going back to my friends now!" You go back to your friends to see them looking shocked. "What?"
"YOU KNOW THAT'S INKS MOM, RIGHT?" Blue said.
"Of course. I got such a tongue lashing from him yesterday."
"Yeah that wasn't fun."
"Ey, sweetheart, what did ya give her?"
"Just a keepsake box that survived the fire. Has something important in it."
"Why give it to her then?" Rus said.
"Whoever said it was something important to me?" They all look shocked and you smile. "Let's go shopping!" You say and everyone laughs before following.
After a few hours you guys stop for lunch and Dream's phone starts ringing. He looks at the ID but declines the call. Suddenly I feel long skeletal arms wrap around your waist.
"(Y/N) I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU ALL DAY! DAD GOT A PRESENT FOR YOU BUT WITH YOU PASSING OUT AND NOT BEING THERE WHEN HE WOKE UP I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL HAVE TO GIVE IT TO YOU IN HIS STEAD!"
You giggle and look up at your friend. "Thanks Paps. You know, if you had been up I would have brought you along too." He blushes slightly and looks at your clothing.
"I LIKE YOUR OUTFIT TODAY, IT SUITS YOU."
"Why thank you Paps. You know, way back I used to dress in the cutest dresses. Mom would always choose them out with leggings because I would climb everything. I mean I still like to climb." You smile brightly at your friend and Blue's phone goes off. He checks it and frowns before declining as well. "Who keeps calling you guys?" They look at each other and Dream sighs.
"It was Ink..." he says.
"Answer him next time. Hear what he has to say." You suggest. "He let out a lot of rage yesterday, maybe he just needs someone to listen to him." Everyone looks at me like I have 5 heads. "What??"
"After all he's said and done to you you want to help him?" Sans asked.
"Well yeah, he was a childhood friend of mine." Nightmare puts a hand on your shoulder and you flinch out from under his hand. "Sorry just.... not right now...." Papyrus sets a bag on the table and motions for you to open. You take the present and carefully open it. Inside was an older hoodie. It was a faded blue gray. On it was a rainbow and the words saying 'good things take bad ones to happen.' Your eyes start to water some as you hug the hoodie to your chest.
"Sweetheart?"
"This was my mom's.... Gaster must have had it hidden away..... the day we finished lacking to move from the old house to the one that the fire happened in.... mom freaked cause she couldn't find her, it was her favourite.... she called everyone she could think of.... Gaster eventually must have found it for me....." you said softly.
Rus gives you a side hug and you smile. "Well sweets, I'm sure she's happy that you have it now. " Dream's phone rings again. After looking at it he sighs and almost let's it ring out before he answers it.
"What do you want Ink? Yeah.... yes?.... why?.... no I'm not going to say that..... aren't you supposed to be a protector?...... Well you haven't been acting like one..... yeah I know you did..... we ran into your mom earlier...... yeah she apologized and (Y/N) held NOTHING against you..... look I know you're hurtin-" he stops talking when you hold your hand out for the phone. "Just a sec.... you sure you wanna talk to him?"
"Yeah."
"Okay then. Here." He hands you the phone.
"Hey Inky..." you say softly.
"(Y/N)??"
"Yeah, it's me. Ta-da.." you say with a soft chuckle and he lets out a strangled sound. "Can we talk?.."
"A-about what?" Ink's voice was full of emotions.
"Everything.... I... I remembered stuff from when we were little..... Sans was showing me Gasters albums and I saw that picture.... the one from my sixth birthday...." Ink lets out a small sob. "I'm sorry I forgot for so long.... did you open the box yet?"
"N-not yet...."
"You should as soon as you can. And Inky?"
"Y-yeah?..."
"I'm sorry for the wait. That should have been opened two years ago. Come over with your mom later, alright? I'll make mom's apple cinnamon cake. It probably won't be as good as hers though."
You hear him laugh slightly. "You want me to come over?...." he says in a disbelieving voice. "After it all?...."
"Yeah, we need to talk more about, well.... everything. Will you come?"
"I'll ask mom..... tell Dream and Blue that I'm sorry?..." he says.
"Of course. Try to calm down some. I'll see you in a while."
"B-bye, sunshine." You giggle and end the call.
"Well, that was unexpected." Dream says.
"He asked me to tell you and Blue sorry. But I should go. That isn't gonna make itself." Everyone gets up with you.
"I REMEMBER NOW!" Red yells and everyone looks at him odd. "You were that girl who was always hangin round Classic and Ink at the daycare!" You snicker and nod.
"That's right." The boys walked me home and I start making the cake.
