Forgotten Phoenix (New Purpose Sequel)

The End

"Okay guys. Our job is to protect Roman from nightmares. So what are we dreaming about?" I tell them boldly. Y/N hums for a long second, thinking. "Let's dream about the cafe! I wanna make banana bread." Serif pitches in. I pet his head, "That's a good one. I say it's comedy day at the cafe and I'll get to read my longgggggg list of dad jokes to the customers." "NOooOoO! Dad, you'll scare the customers away!!!" Serif immediately rejects me, pushing his limbs against my rib cage. He's almost able to force me off the edge of the bed. Roman begins to laugh softly as he watches his brother fuss.

"Well boys, if w-w-we have a-a-any chances of saving t-the cafe, we'll have to get t-there before D-Dad does. Now sleep!" Y/N commands. "I will defeat you." Roman warns me with one eye open. I can't help but chuckle. "Okayyyy, I'll give you a ten second head start." I wrap my arms around them and pull the family huddle even closer. Y/N and I watch both boys yawn and gradually drift to sleep. Afterwards, Y/N presses a kiss to my cheek. I return the love with a kiss to her forehead. "I guess I-I'll meet y-you there~" She jokes. I press my forehead to hers and laugh softly, "Goodnight, Beautiful."

(~Time Skip 2 Years~)
[~Twins - 13 Years Old~]

Y/N opens the door and steps inside. "Look boys, Mama's home~" "Mama!!! Welcome home!!!" Both twins jump up from the couch and rush over to hug her. Her face is filled with confusion as she yells, "Honey, t-the kids were s-s-supposed t-to be at Gaster's thirty m-minutes ago!!! I t-t-told you to b-bring them!"

'.... That's what I forgot-'

Dream and Blue step inside after her. I only just notice that all three of them are dressed more formally than usual. "I wish I could say that I'm surprised but this is pretty typical of my brother." Blue explains with a judging stare. "Kids- C-Change your c-clothes! Shoes on! Grab y-y-your stuff! N-Now!" Y/N rushes them off to their bedroom. Both of them laugh as they follow her hurried instruction. "We wanna go on your doubles date too!" Roman shouts. Serif jokes around with Roman, "We're a pair of twins so I'm pretty sure we qualify as a double." Y/N shuts their bedroom door and then stomps her way back to the living room.

"You c-couldn't a-at least get them ready? Both of them are s-s-still in pajamas a-and it's 5:30 in the e-evening!" She complains. "I forgot?" I say with a shrug. Even I know that the excuse won't cut it. Y/N rubs her temples slowly, "Papyrus... I-Is it too much to ask for y-you to t-take some responsibility for your kids f-from time to time? It's e-e-exhausting when I have to-" I arch an eyebrow and interrupt her, "You want to complain about having kids now? You're the one that made them." Dream and Blue's pupils shrink. My brother slaps a hand over his face. Dream looks away, mumbling, "Rest in peace-"

I see their reactions and immediately get nervous. I look back to my wife. Y/N is staring me down like a hawk with bright (s/c) magic in her gaze. "B-Beautiful." I say fearfully. She walks away. I grow even more nervous.

'Is it her time of the month-'

The silence draws out for a minute. Our bedroom door opens down the hall.

'Y/N's coming back.'

That and I know I'm in trouble. Y/N suddenly comes running towards me with something in her hand. I stand to run but am immediately subdued by a pillow slammed into my face. I fall backwards onto the couch. "YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME?! WELL WHO PUT THE BABIES THERE PAPYRUS?!" Y/N demands an answer and continues to smack me with the pillow in one place after the other. My panic turns into laughter as I scream out, "I'M SORRY!!!" Blue and Dream try to hold back their laughter too but it doesn't work.

'I LoVe HEr SO mUCh! GOOd GrIef-'

The pillow slamming finally stops. Y/N grabs me by the collar of my hoodie and pulls me up to face her. Her (e/c) eyes lock onto mine as if she is trying to stare right through my soul. "We have r-reservations and I-I w-will not have you l-looking like a couch potato. Go g-g-get dressed, NoW." "Yes ma'am-" Once she releases her grip, I get up and rush down the hall. My eyes catch sight of the twins' bedroom. Their door is cracked open as they both stare through and smile to their heart's content. My face glows orange as I pull my hood over my head.
