Disclaimer: I do not in fact own Undertale, and while I have taken major inspiration from some other stories and AU's thats all it is, inspiration. I appreciate the understanding we now have. Enjoy.


They awoke to streaming sunlight, and a killer headache. There hands suddenly came up to massage their temples in some attempt to ease the pain away. Eventually though the pain seeped away, until only light remained. Light, and the feeling of life covering their body. Eventual they tore there eye's away from the light to observe the surrounding they found themselves in.

A quick search of course, the cave they found themselves in devoid of anything worthwhile except the golden bed of flowers they found themselves in. After finding the way to their feet they continued to give the room a paranoid induced look. The child, for they could be nothing else, held a strange mixture of fear and… determination inside them.

"This place is scary… and yet I also feel safe here". The child thought to themselves with some confusion.

"I know what you mean". The child nodded in agreement… before there spine went as hard as stone.

"H-h-hello?" They whispered out fearfully, unsure of the voice that had just spoken out.

"Um… Hi?" The strange voice asked back in a confused tone.

"W-w-w-where are you? Why can't I see you?" The child asked while simultaneously whipping their head back and forth for some sign of the voice's owner.

"I'm right here scaredy cat". The voice answered back in an unimpressed tone.

"O-ok… where's h-here?" The child responded back while trying to steal their frayed nerves.

"Oh for the love of- i'm standing right in front of you!" The voice yelled back in an aggravated tone.

"B-b-but there's no one here". The child argued back, now back on track for flaying their nerves alive because of the apparent ghost now haunting her.

"I'm not a ghost!" the sudden statement caught the child off guard, causing them to hug their arms close there chest.

"C-can you read my mind?" The child thought to herself with a mixture of trepidation and childlike wonder.

"What do you mean "read your mind", your talking to me!" The ghost-

"I'M NOT A GHOST! And i'll prove it!" The g- er, voice said.

"..."

"..."

"Well? Believe me now?" The voice said with hint of smugness in there tone.

"W-what do you mean?" The child asked in confusion, causing the strange voice to suddenly splutter gibberish for a second.

"What do mean? Can't you feel this?" The Voice asked.

"Feel what?" The child asked back, finally reigning in there emotions at last.

"This". They said.

"This what?" The child responded once more.

"..."

"...

"How bout now?" The voice asked again.

"Nope". The child thought, giving the P a pop for good measure.

"Wait". The voice said, and the child suddenly got the feeling that the voice was wearing a massive grin.

"~How about this~". They practically sang. In response the child simply shook their head negative, now curious as to what the ghost was trying to do.

"I'm not a ghost". They ghost stated again with a huff, and the child got the distinct impression that the ghost was crossing their arms.

"Why do you think i'm a ghost?" The ghost asked back.

"Well…". The child began, now swinging their arms back in forth as they tried to think of a way to explain there thoughts.

"First, your invisible. Second, I cant feel you if you really are touching me, and thirdly, you can read my mind. A ghost". They explained at last to the ghosts bafflement.

"B-but i'm not a-!"

" .Are". The child thought while staring forward with unparalleled determination where they hoped the ghost was.

"U-um, ok then. I guess i'm a ghost". The ghost said without a thought of refusal.

"Its ok though! No one ever said I can't have a ghost for a friend!" The child thought with some glee to the ghosts confusion.

"Friend? B-but we just met each other". The voice replied back awkwardly, like they couldn't even fathom the idea.

"Well of course I just met you, you can't make friends if you never meet them, right?" The child responded with such overwhelming confidence that the ghost was left speechless for a moment.

"W-well I guess so…". The ghost finally answered back..

"Great!" The child thought back, either unknowing or uncaring of the ghost's uncertainty.

"Then let's go!" The child thought before suddenly walking towards the the only exit the room had… besides up towards the streaming light that was.

"Wait! Where are you going?" The ghost cried out before the child got the feeling that the ghost was running (Dont ghosts float?) to catch up.

"Exploring of course, were else?" The child responded, sounding almost confused.

"But... what if something bad happens!". The ghost thought with some small amount of panic, causing the child to suddenly stop in her tracks.

But before the ghost could comment further, the child suddenly did something strange. Crossing there right foot behind there left, holding there hands behind their back while tilting their head slightly, the child closed their eyes (further than the normal amount of squinting they normally did anyways), and put on a soft smile before…

"Then my new best friend will just have to protect me". they said with sweet and honeyed words. The ghost for there part was turning a shade darker than there unseen red hair as they begin babbling incoherently, only barely noticing that the child had returned to their exploration as they subconsciously followed their new "partner".

The pair soon found themselves over by an archway that seemingly lead them to another room, but before they continued the child stopped and looked at the archways top.

"What is it?" The child thought in confusion as they gazed upon three triangles forming a single triangle with angel wings to boot.

"I don't know… but it feels familiar". The ghost said with some confusion.

"Wait, what do you mean you don't know?" The child asked back with her own confusion.

"I mean I don't know". The ghost shot back.

"But… your a ghost". The child answered back like that made any sense.

"Doesn't that mean you know everything?" The child continued explaining there logic(?).

"What- no, it most certainly does not!" The ghost argued back.

"Than what do you know?" The child asked while tilting their head inquisitively.

"Plenty of things!"

"Like…"

"Like, um… well there's… um…" The trailed off, suddenly deep in thought.

"Ghosty?" The child thought with some worry after a second of silence.

"Ya, i'm here, I just… can't remember anything". The ghost said with some panic.

"Wait, nothing?" The child thought.

"Ya, I c-can't remember anything". The ghost said, sounding almost on the verge of tears now.

"Not even your name!" The child thought with some panic of their own.

"No… not even that. All I remember is waking up next to you…" The ghost thought with sadness at the sudden reveal.

"Oh, i'm sorry". The child thought, feeling sorry for there friend… before a sudden idea overtook them.

"I know! If you can't remember who you are, then we'll just create a new you!" The child thought with glee.

"What". The ghost answered back with puzzlement… which was completely ignored as the child but on what could be considered a "Thinking face", one arm crossed over there chest while the other used it as a crutch to stroke their chin, the child's face of one of deep concentration.

"I've got it". The child finally said while snapping their fingers… the ghost had a bad feeling all of a sudden.

"Invisi-Bill" The child said with a triumphant grin.

"What." The ghost thought with absolute disbelief… again.

"Invisi-Bill! The crime fighting ghost detective that protects the world from other ghosts-!"

"No". The ghost said without a thought to the matter.

"Caspar!" The child said, undeterred from their friends previous answer.

"The friendly-!"

"No."

"The Flying Dutchman-"

"I can't fly".

"Moaning Myrtle-"

"Invisi-Bill it is". The ghost decided with a defeated sigh, the opposite of the child's exclamation of joy that rang throughout the ruins.

"Can we move on please?" Invisi-Bill begged.

"Sure, why not?" The child thought before moving past the large archway in into the darkness beyond it.


As the child and there newly named companion made there way through the dark corridor, they soon came upon a small hill with a single golden flower on it..

"What's this doing here?" Invisi-Bill asks.

"What do you mean what's it doing here? Its a flower dummy". The child chastises.

"Well obviously, I mean why only one? And here for that matter? There's no sunlight after all, so how's it even alive?". Invisi-Bill observer.

"Well… why don't we ask it?"

"Huh?" The ghost asks dumbfounded as the child walks up to the flower in question.

"Hello there". The child asks in a slightly timid, yet determined voice. But before the child could enact the little skit in there head, the strangest thing happened.

"Hello there!" Said the flower in question. The child, and ghost for that matter, simply stood there with their mouths agape at the phenomenon, which consist of a small flower with an almost cartoonish face talking with a cheerful, if not laid back tone.

"I'm Flowey!" The flower said like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Flowey the flower!" The flower finished before giving the child a thoughtful look.

"Hmm… your new to the underground aren't you?" The child simply continued to stare at the talking flower

"Huh! You must be so confused I bet?" At this the child gave a small nod in agreement, there mouth still agape.

"Well, someone should probably to teach you how things work around here, huh? I guess little old me will have to do. You ready?" The flower asked while leaning forward in apparent anticipation.

"Are we?" The child asked there ghostly friend.

"Probably not". Invisi-Bill replied sadly.

"Fair enough". The child thought before giving a hesitant nod to the flower.

"Here we go!" The flower said before a strange feeling permeated the very air, muting all color until only black and white remained.

"Whoa". Invisi-Bill said, and it wasn't until a second later that the child was admiring the red, heart shaped object in there chest.

"See that heart? That's your SOUL, the very culmination of your very being!" The flower said to the child's wonder.

"You see, your SOUL starts off pretty weak, but you can make it even stronger by gaining a lot of L.V.!" the flower stated confidently. Already guessing the question, Flowey continued.

"What's L.V. stand for you may be asking yourself? Why LOVE of course!" The flower declared with joy.

"That… doesn't feel right". Invisi-Bill muttered.

"What do you mean?" The child asked.

"Well, I mean think about it. If your SOUL did get stronger from LOVE, then wouldn't yours be a little… stronger?" Invisi-Bill pointed out.

"I knew you Loved me!" The child mentally exclaimed with stars in their eyes, much to the ghosts embarrassment/bewilderment.

"And where did you get that out of?"

"Well, why else would you think so much of me if you didn't?"

"That's not how that-!"

"You want some LOVE don't you?" The Flower asked eagerly, to which the child agreed to just as if not more so.

"Could it not have phrased it any other way?" The ghost complained.

"Shush, i'm getting me some LOVE!"

"Again with the phrasing-"

"Silence".

"Well don't worry, because i'm in the mood to share some with you!" Flowey said, finishing his sentence with a playful winky face. A second later and five little seeds popped out of the flower, but instead of flying away they just stayed in the air, held aloft by what seemed to be the same stuff that was dulling the world.

"You see, down hear LOVE is shared through… little white… "friendliness pellets". The flower says, not entirely sounding so sure of himself in the process.

"Are you ready?" The flower asks, sounding like his normal self again.

"Hey, i'm kinda getting a bad feeling about this…" Invisi-Bill suddenly says.

"Don't worry, everything's going to be alright! Just watch and learn". The kid says while giving a smile to the flower in agreement.

"Great! Move around and get as many as you can!" Flowey says as the pellets start moving towards the child. The child then holds out their hands, ready to grab them all as the converge on them.

"Just watch Invisi-Bill! Were going to get all the Love!" The child thinks to their ghostly friend.

But before they could reply, the pellets all converged into the child's waiting hands… and they screamed.

It was the scream of someone who had just been punched in the gut as hard as possible, short, breathless, and full of pain. The child had expected to feel something nice, something warm. What they got instead was a kick to an area they didn't even no existed. A thing they didn't even no was real, and in a single moment something had driven a knife into it. Indeed, through the tears streaming down there face and gasps of shaky breaths they could almost see cracks in the red heart of theirs.

"You idiot!" The flower yelled out in triumph. And when the child looked up from there soul, they were met by the face of a monster. The former cartoonish face was gone, and in its face was an oversized mouth, and large cruel eyes that screamed victory.

"In this world, it's kill or BE KILLED" The Flower declared with a near insane glee.

"Why would anyone pass up an opportunity like this?!" Flowey asked no one.

His face changed again, this time morphing into one far creepier than the last, while at the same time some kind of barrier formed around the child.

"No no no! We gotta get outta here partner!" The ghost said to the child.

"It… hurts… it hurts so much…" The child replied, attempting to cradle their wounded soul. And at that moment hundreds of "Friendliness pellets" begin to appear outside the white box/barrier around them.

"Well that's not fair at all!" Invisi-Bill screamed out… but no one heard them.

"DIE!" Flowey yelled out maniacally as the bullets began to close in on the child.

"Invisi-Bill… I'm scared". The child thought as the bullets inched closer and closer.

"Don't worry partner, everything's going to be alright". Invisi-Bill said in the most soothing voice they could muster.

"D-does d-dying… hurt?" The child asked while eyeing the ever encroaching ring of death.

"No… you won't feel a thing". The ghost replied with a sad over tone.

"Promise?" The child asked as the ring was now only a couple feet away.

"Promise". Invisi-Bill replied, and the child could almost feel something wrap around them, something warm, and… nice.

And just as the bullets were inches away from their weak and fractured soul… a miracle occurred.

The bullets disappeared, as if something decided to erase them from existence, while at the same time a sensation washed over them, one different than the feeling they had just a second ago. Wheres as the first felt like a warm blanket, this one felt like… like relaxing after a plate of warm food. It felt relaxing.

And yet the miracle didn't end there, before a single comment could be made, a large… bone, appeared as if from magic and, like a batter from baseball, used flowey as a ball. Which was to say it smacked him so hard the force pulled him out of the ground and chucked the flower deep into the darkness of the cave.

"W-w-w-what j-j-just h-happened?" The child whispered to them and no one at once, wiping their tears on their short blue sleeves, picking themselves up from the ground as well.

"I have no idea-" But there comment was not to be.

"WHAT AN AWFUL WEED, CAUSING SO MUCH TROUBLE FOR EVERYONE. WE HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLES AS IT IS". Yelled yet also somehow calmly spoke a figure from their right, one who had SOMEHOW gone unnoticed until now. At the sound of another voice, and a potentially friendly one at that-

"Because that thought went So well before".

-the child began to speak-

"Stutter".

"That's mean!"

-to the unknown entity before suddenly stopping dead in their tracks.

"What's wrong partner?" Invisi-Bill asked their frozen friend.

"OH, HELLO THEIR HUMAN! YOU MUST HAVE JUST ARRIVED IF YOUR PERPLEXED EXPRESSION IS TO BE RIGHT!" The figure said while entering the only light in the room, exposing his bone-lyness to the child before him. And if the weird wording didn't explain the situation, then nothing would. After all, what better way to explain a cartoonish skeleton wearing a purple robe with the same symbol as the earlier archway had emblazoned for all across their chest, than with some rib-rabbiling?

"Did you really just spend thirty-seconds monologuing just so you could get that pun off?"

"Yes, yes I did".

"It was awful".

"But your smiling".

"How could you possibly know that?!"

"I didn't". The child answered with a smile.

"I-". But once again it was not meant to be.

"Stop interrupting-!"

"BUT DO NOT DESPAIR HUMAN, FOR THOUGH IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE ANY HUMANS HAVE FALLEN HERE, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM A CARETAKER OF THESE RUINS!" The great papyrus once more shouted out yet didn't actually shout out.

"I WATCH FOR HUMANS THAT MAY HAVE FALLEN DOWN HERE AND HELP THEM IN ANY WAY I CAN". Papyrus explained

"I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY STILL VERY CONFUSED RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER MY NEW FRIEND, IF YOU COME WITH ME I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING, AND AS A BONUS I'LL EVEN THROW IN A FREE MEAL!" Papyrus declared with excitement.

(Growl)

"WHAT MANNER OF MONSTER WAS THAT!? I'LL HAVE TO HAVE WORDS WITH THEM, THAT WAS VERY RUDE!"

(Growl… again).

"HMM!?" Papyrus exclaimed with an exclamation point over his head… somehow. He then looked over to the cause of the noise, and found the child holding their stomach, face beet red.

"Hell no partner, we are not trusting another, another… MONSTER, just so he can turn around and eat us like some over sized cracker." Invisi-Bill stated firmly.

"But then what would we do? We don't know where we are, or where to go. And i'm SOOOOO hungry~". The child ended with an internal groan. They couldn't even remember the last time they ate. In fact they couldn't-

"And if he wants to eat us?"

"He won't". They stated with far more confidence than they had any right to.

"And you know this how?" Invisi-Bill asked.

"Just a feeling I have".

"You mean like the one you had with flowey?"

"Better".

"..."

"..."

"You really want to trust a talking skeleton?"

"Who wouldn't!?" The child exclaimed with stars in their eyes.

"..."

"..."

"*sigh* alright partner, we'll do it your way… again". At that the child perked up, smile covering their face.

"Thank you Invisi-Bill! I promise I won't let you down!" The child said before running up to the skeleton and giving him a big nod of approval.

"WONDERFUL! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE I'VE HAD COMPANY… AND LONGER STILL SINCE I'VE CLEANED…". Papyrus muttered (loudly) to himself as he began moving towards a archway opposite from the one they came from. But before the child followed after they stopped, and looked behind themselves.

"Invisi-Bill?" They suddenly asked.

"Yeah partner?" Invisi-Bill questioned back somewhat off guard from the suddenness.

"Thanks for comforting me when flowey attacked… your a real friend". They stated with a smile.

"Oh ya, that… I just wish I could've actually done something besides talk. It was… scary, not being able to do anything. I thought you were gonna die". The ghost stated with a mixture of terror and anger.

"Pffft! I can't die!". The child said while puffing out their chest to Bill's dismay.

"Because i'm filled with-!"


Hello everyone! So i'm dipping my writing fingers into Undertale, sue me ( please don't, I can't afford a lawsuit!). This is an Idea I've had for a VERY long time, and I've slowly added to over said time. Now i'll make this very clear right here and know. Yes, I will be taking ideas from some AUs I've loved to read, mainly STORYSHIFT as you'll see, however i'm not just going to copy and past their story onto this one. While it may appear the same on some occasions, like perhaps dialogue seems the same in some areas as well as character placement, I assure you it isn't. As you've seen flowey's back and I plan on doing this to a few other characters as well. So please don't just say that i'm just pasting their story here, because I hope you'll quickly see as more chapters release that this will indeed be different from anything else! (That I've read, if i'm somehow copying you I apologize, it was not my intention). Also as I stated above, I don't own or co-own anything not original in this story, and all rites go to theirs respectfully. This is for fun, nothing more. Let's see here… Other then that I think that's all folks! If you have a question, please either PM me, or review and I will get back to you as fast I can! Peace.
