Chapter one: Day break(s)

Frisk ran her fingers along Asgore's throne before seating herself carefully in it. She stared out over the golden flowers and sighed, gently kicking her legs. The soft sounds of birds gently faded as they settled and slept. Frisk rose from the throne, she felt ready. Frisk walked down the hall until she reached it's end and poked her head through the door. Standing in the next room was her family, they all chatted excitedly amongst each other no one yet noticing the peeping Frisk. Papyrus whined about not being able to leave yet while Undyne whined in a similar fashion about not being able to fight the surfaces denizens. Frisk walked in slowly and smiled. Toriel clasped her hands and smiled warmly. The rest of the group turned and caught Frisk's eye, smiling. Asgore cleared his throat, "Frisk, do you feel ready to leave now? I do believe Undyne is working herself into a bit of a tizzy". Undyne bristled, "I am NOT...just, excited to fight some worthy opponents on the surface" Undyne smiled wildly. Frisk looked about and nodded.

Toriel took Frisk's hand as she walked up the steep slope to the surface. The small speck of light soon melted into the horizon as the group reached the surface. Frisk walked out with Toriel to the edge of a steep cliff overlooking a sprawling view of the land before it. There was silence for a long moment before Papyrus piped up, "What's that big ball in the sky?".

"We call that the sun" Sans replied.

"Hmmmm, I should go make my first impression on the humans, but don't worry...I shall let them all know that you are with me!"

With that Papyrus dashed off down the dirt trail. Sans chuckled to himself, "Guess somebody's gotta keep an eye on him" Sans turned on his heel and walked back down the slope to the underground. Undyne sighed loudly, "Guess I'll take care of it...Hey Pap wait up!" Undyne chased after Papyrus.

Alphys looked around before nervously following Undyne. Tories squeezed Frisk's hand softly, "You did it, it's...it's a little hard to take in" She smiles and sighs.

Asgore nudges Frisks arm, "I have something important to ask of you". Frisk looked up at him expectantly. Asgore carefully brought himself down onto one knee"Will you be our ambassador to the humans, I fear I won't be accepted...knowing what I've done…"

Frisk patted his side comfortingly and nodded.

"Thank you" Asgore stood.

After a short silence Asgore coughs, "So...Toriel...it's been a wh-". Toriel spun to face him suddenly. "Are you not the one who only moments ago was attempting to kill my child?" Toriel interrupted, her voice suddenly cold. Asgore's composer dropped as he hung his head and walked slowly away with the others. Toriel looked to frisk, "So...I'm sure you wish to return to you family now, yes?". Frisk shakes her head slowly. "Have you not a family to return to?". Frisk shakes her head again, becoming noticeably uncomfortable. Toriel hugs Frisk gently, "I'm sorry for prying, my child. You shall stay with me until you decide what you wish to do. I promise that I will try my best to take care of you until then.". Toriel takes Frisk's hand once again, "Come now, we must catch up with the others.".

Frisk walked along the worn dirt path, her shoes quickly gaining a layer of dust as she walked. Large pine trees swayed in the breeze as Frisk rubbed their arms, the air was cold, the wind more so. Toriel notices and scoops Frisk up holding her close as she catches up to Asgore and continues past him. Frisk peeks out and waves as they pass, Asgore smiles brightly and waves back.

"So, my child...what do you think will happen when we arrive?". Frisk yawns and snuggles closer to Toriel. "Ah, I think a rest sounds good as well". Toriel looked down at Frisk then back up at the path suddenly seeing sans walking beside her.

"MT is making the first broadcast to the humans...heh...sure it'll be somethin' else. The guy loves his humans." Sans sighed, somewhat bitterly. Toriel looked at Sans curiously, "Well, who better to introduce us than that robot, he sure seems to enjoy what he does." Sans chuckled but didn't say anything more, deciding instead to keep his eyes on the sky. Undyne soon returned with Papyrus in tow, who was pouting like a child, "Is it a crime to be hospitable on the surface human?". Frisk shook her head tiredly, Papyrus saw this as him winning the argument and stopped pouting.

Alphys slowly saunters up behind Undyne and points her phone's' screen, "M-Mettaton told the humans to meet us here...so w-we should probably wait here…"

Asgore eyed the road warily, "I'd prefer not to frighten on comers but I suppose we could wait here"

Undyne nods and looks to Frisk, "What's their problem? We just got freed Frisk, you should be a bit more excited than that" Undyne poked Frisk on the forehead. Toriel moves Frisk away from Undyne, "She's tired and having a rest, we'll need our ambassador well rested won't we?"

"Grrr, rest is for people weaker than me, and I'm pretty sure Frisk kicked all our butts on his way here!"

Toriel smirked, "Would it makes sense then, if I proposed, that all this action perhaps tired her?". Undyne seemed to wrestle with the thought, "Errr, I guess"

Toriel nodded and adjusted her grip on Frisk.

Papyrus and sans chattered about something as Alphys explored the area. Undyne resigned to summoning spears and impaling them in a thick pine. Toriel hummed softly for Frisk while Asgore became enthralled in the local fauna. This peace was only broken by the sound of cars driving down the road.

Thank you for reading my first chapter. I'm aware that there are plenty of fanfics out there and most all that could be done has been. But I hope I can bring something new and interesting to the table.

If this is enjoyed then I'll continue, and I'll continue like that up until the point you no longer enjoy the story. See ya.
