Crying a lot. "I only wanted to h-help! I'm sorry!"

Gaster looks chara over to see if they are alright and then hugs them. "It's alright, i know you meant well. I will never let him do that again. Can you stand?"

Chara nods. "Yeah.."

Asriel growled. "I do not think i will ever forgive him for that!"

Chara sighed. "It was my fault...Look, don't you all remember what he said about his past? I shouldn't have suggested a reset as a way of helping him with his problem, after ending the bad human in his universe..."

Gaster shakes his head sideways. "He still shouldn't have threatened you and attempted to do so..."

Temmie responds. "What do we do about him, Gaster?"

Gaster replied. "For now, given my mood after this.. i want to avoid him and always have someone keep watch on him, whenever hes around the children."

Mad Gaster replied. "Mind if i help keep watch on him?"

Gaster replied kindly. "Yes, given you saved my child. You have my 100% trust and respect. Thank you."

Mad Gaster walks towards him, his right bonebrow raised. "How much did you trust me before?"

Gaster sighed. "I felt unsure about that, until now."

Mad Gaster chuckled. "I completely understand your possible doubts or worries. Glad there is no more distrust between us."

Gaster nods. "You can stay with the children anytime you want or even help with lab work."

Temmie whispered. "Are you kidding? Hes crazy."

Gaster replied. "He saved Chara, i am going to give him the benefit of the doubt. My choice of allies is not exactly stable in health. You, on the other hand, are perfectly stable."

Mad Gaster says to him. "Do you both always whisper in front of people? How rude!"

He laughs.

Gaster sighed. "I am sorry, it was rude of me."

"It's fine, hmm...Um, where is Toriel?"

Gaster's eye-sockets darken, he turns around to see her in Horrortale-Papyrus's arms. He feels relived to see she is safe.

"THAT WAS VERY UNSETTLING. I THOUGHT DUST WANTED OUR HELP EARLIER...WHY DID HE TRY TO HARM CHARA? ARE THEY ALRIGHT?"

Horror responds with relief in his voice. "Yeah, chara is alright."

A voice says from behind them. "Mind if i become your replacement substitute dad? Seeing as dust ruined it for himself."

Chara and asriel startled, turn around to see Mad Gaster. Chara smiled. "Heck yeah! I mean, in a way you are right? Seeing as my adopted dad is a gaster."

Mad Gaster shrugged. "What better dad then a gaster?" He grinned. "That is the best dad anyone could have..."

He rubbed his chin for a moment, looking like he was in brief thought. He says to them both. "Or depending on the universe, possibly a nightmare beyond belief...But in this case, the best thing ever for you kids."

Asriel says to him. "Thank you for saving my sibling!"

Mad Gaster proudly replied. "It was no problem. now for everyone, who wants noodles?"

Gaster replied in a cold tone. "Noodles sounds nice, but i am putting Dust in his room. I will be back later."

Chara turns quickly in Gaster's direction and runs over to him. "Please don't stay mad at him, maybe he couldn't help it...He's been our friend for a while now. I feel like it was my fault that he did that. Please do not hate dust or kick him out of the team. You will try to help him right?"

Gaster pats them on the head. "I won't stay mad, but that does not mean the feelings won't go away any time soon...He can remain with us and the task on helping him will proceed. He is an ally after all and a friend, a friend who i am currently very angry at."

Glaring back at Dust, but then looks back at chara calmly. "I will be back alright?"

Chara nods.

Gaster snaps his fingers and leaves with dust.

Mad Gaster says to everyone. "LETS CHANGE THE MOOD OF THIS WHOLE PLACE AND HAVE SOME NOODLES!"

Chara shouts out. "CAN WE HAVE SWEETS TOO!??"

Mad Gaster replied. "Yes, who here likes brownies?"

"I DO! I MEAN, WHO DOESN'T? ITS CHOCOLATE!"

Chara runs up to Horrortale papyrus. "You are amazing! I love chocolate too!"

Few hours later, after eating together.

Gaster comes back and joins them.
