Chapter 20
It took nearly an entire month to get the word out and to even get the chance to enter the capital of the United States, but, once I was able to get a spot on the meeting board as an ambassador to the monsters (despite me being only 13 years old and handicapped) everything started to change. With Asgore, Toriel, my siblings, Sans, Alphys, Norma, Papyrus, Undyne, Mew Mew, and Asriel helping out, we had eventually gotten to talk to none other than THE president of the United States. Who was he? Well, he was the president, of course!
"So, it seems you have quite the tale that you've been spreading out with your new monster friends, huh, Mister Burr?" the president asked me with a smile.
"Well, yeah... and all of it is true. One hundred percent," I said, him smiling and nodding.
"Well, judging from how monsters are now walking among the humans in our various towns and cities, I'm well inclined to believe you," the president smiled. "However, the process of getting these laws passed that you've laid out... you know it may be a bit difficult for some people to swallow this information, right?" he asked as he looked at the documents I handed him and read out the laws I guess he was concerned about. "I mean, no soul battles are allowed anymore and the penalty is death? What's a soul battle? And then, monsters are to be treated just as equally as humans and treating them otherwise would be segregation? The world already hates different groups enough as is, you think they'll make an exception for monsters just because some of them look cool or cute? And then, the final one? Where it says monsters will be allowed to have jobs and income just like any other American citizen? People already have issues with foreigners getting jobs in America, so they may feel a bit frightened or even upset about monsters coming in to do this, right?" he asked, me sighing and frowning at him.
"Look, mister president, these monsters not only saved my life down in the Underground, but if not for me going there in the first place, I'd never have been able to free them all from the Underground by destroying the barrier. I mean, I lost my ability to walk to destroy the barrier sealing them down there, so I feel that we should at least try to enforce these laws. It's not going to be perfect, I'm aware, but I'd give my life for these guys. All of them, no matter how freaky or odd they look, are some of the nicest bunch you'll ever meet," I smiled at him.
"I get it, you really like them, but others may not be as kind to them. We've already had reports of humans and monsters getting into arguments, some of them ending with the monsters getting hurt in the process. Remember the 70s? With all those issues of 'separate but equal'? Remember all the deaths that happened from it? Do you really think it'd be the best thing for your monster friends to be subjugated to that?" the president asked, me sighing as I then had a phone call on my cell, the one from the Underground. For some reason, now that we were above ground, it worked even better than before and was able to communicate to any monster or human phone across the world. And I was currently getting a call from Bonnie's phone. I answered it and put it on speaker.
"I think someone wants to join the chat... go ahead, guys, you're on speaker," I said, me knowing exactly who was on the other line as they then started to speak.
"Please, mister president, give it a chance. We'll never know unless we try," said the combination of the voices of Memoryhead, the president being confused and startled at the strange talk before I explained it.
"Sorry if that spooked you, but yeah, that was Memoryhead. Remember me mentioning him and the other Amalgamates?" I asked, him then sighing and nodding.
"Fine, I'll see what strings I can pull. I'm telling you though, I don't know if this is going to work out, Mister Burr," the president said to me.
"I know, we just want the monsters to be given a second chance. Besides, they were already punished unfairly in the past, which was why they were sealed underground for centuries. They were sealed down there simply because people were afraid of them. But considering people nowadays don't have any magic powers, I know they'd just try to kill them instead. I want these laws in place so that all monsters can have at least some form of legally-binding protection, since their bodies are much frailer than you may think," I said, him then smiling at me.
"If it is what you want, I'll go ahead and put those laws into place myself. In fact, I think they would fit right easily into the Constitution," he said, me smirking and my eyes widening at that.
"Thank you, mister president!" I smiled at him as the meeting then ended and we finally got underway.
It took nearly a whole year for the new laws to sink in for most of America, and when that happened, it was just as I'd hoped. Anywhere you walked in the US of A, there was at least one monster able to be seen in every single town and city in the states. The monsters that liked the cold went up north to Alaska, Maine, and Washington state while the ones that liked the heat went to the southern states like Florida and Texas. And the ones who liked the water all were able to go live in lakes, beaches, and the ocean, where they helped out the seafaring humans in catching fish and keeping the water clean of trash. And all the monsters that liked something in the middle? They lived in the central and eastern states. The state I was in currently was West Virginia, as that was my home and where most of my friends lived. Some had went to other areas for a bit of a vacation.
Papyrus had finally gotten his dream car and he said he wanted to cruise down a highway and go to a resort. He sent me a text saying it felt great to have the wind beating against his bones, which made me smile.
Undyne, Alphys, and Mew Mew all went to the beach in the Outer Banks of North Carolina to have some relaxation. From what Alphys told me, she and Undyne were having a great time and had a few 'sessions' with some help from Mew Mew, which I thought was pretty kinky that they had a three-way.
And Mettaton, Shyren, Napstablook, and the Temmies? They all went into the show business. Mettaton was now the most popular television star in the states, mainly premiering with his band of Shyren's singing and Napstablook's music and them putting on spectacular shows. And the Temmies did their own thing and made it big with the younger demographic by having their own television show for kids and toddlers that was called "Fun Time Wit Da Tems," which was a smashing hit that surpassed tons of little kid programs that had been on for decades in the ratings.
Only Bob stayed in the town I was in, and he found it very soothing to be a pet to me and my family. He really liked getting scratched behind his ears and he always had advice for certain situations.
And, of course, Toriel and Asgore's school business was pretty successful, since it was so close to numerous cities and the curriculum was amazing. Toriel did the work of teaching math, science, history, and comprehension while Asgore taught phys-ed, health class, art, and agriculture, which I expected the last part coming a mile away, given his love of gardening.
Then, there was everyone that now resided in the Burr household... or should I say, the New Burr Estate, which was large enough for all of my siblings, Norma, the Dreamurr family, Bob, and Muffet to reside in without issue. It was basically a large mansion that had butlers and waitresses, but we only paid them for cleaning and absolutely nothing else. After all, we weren't the rich and pompous type.
"Looks like things are finally on good terms," Norma smiled at me as we laid in bed, me now being 14 years old and Norma being 13, according to her. In fact, her voice only started to break a couple months prior and she had to start wearing small skirts and undies because she was starting to go through puberty.
"Yeah, they are," I smiled as I poked my finger to her nose and she giggled.
"You think that we're finally ready? Now that I'm becoming an adult?" Norma smiled.
"Well, how about we start small?" I smiled at her. "Like, we start with cuddling and kisses and stuff, then work our way up the ladder... relatively speaking..." I said, Norma smirking and chuckling at that. After all, neither of us could climb ladders with her having no arms and me having crippled legs.
"You heard that one from Sans, didn't you?" Norma smirked, me smiling at that.
"Yes." As for Sans in general, he was actually not only promoted from hot dog vendor to records management, he was actually given the duty of being a member of the CIA as one of their intelligence officers. In fact, he was so good at his job, what with him being able to see other peoples' souls and whatnot, he rose through the ranks to become one of the best. Only issue was that his one condition for doing the job was that he had to tell puns while on the job or he'd quit. From what I heard, most of the CIA members were pretty amused by the jokes he said, as they helped relieve the tension of the job.
"Okay... that sounds like it'd be nice. So you're gonna cuddle with me, right? Cause, no arms?" Norma smiled, me smiling and nodding my head. "Well, okay," she smiled as we then got under the covers and I held onto Norma with my arms around her waist, her starting to breathe in and out a bit rapidly and me smiling at her. "Ooh boy... i-is it hot in here?" she asked, me smiling at her.
"Naw, it's just the love we share," I smiled at her, Norma smiling and breathing normally again at that.
"I love you so much, Crow," she smiled at me.
"And I love you too, Norma," I smiled at her as we then turned off the lights and went to bed.
