UnderTale - A First For Everything
Chapter One - Ever Been To School?
Groggily waking up, holding out her hands in a feeble attempt at blocking out the suns rays from her sleep deprived state, Frisk yawned tiredly, rubbing at her eyes as her bare feet touched cold wooden floors. A shiver shot up through her spine as she drew back from the sudden contact, eyes opening wider in an attempt at fully waking up. Outside, she could hear the soft chirping of morning birds and see the sun slowly rising from her bedroom window, which was on the second floor of her new home. Seeing the sun rise, and the morning birds flutter about, Frisk felt a sudden urge of determination, as she wrapped herself up in her blanket, creating a thick cloak around her body, and stepped onto the freezing floor.
Mildly displeased by the coldness her feet felt, she trod on over to the bathroom, hanging up her blanket on the towel rod, as she faced the mirror, forcing a smile out to begin her day. Splashing cold water, using the toilet, and then brushing her teeth and hair down, she grabbed her blanket again, and made a beeline downstairs - where Toriel would surely be waiting for her.
"Good morning my child! How was your night?" cheerily greeted and asked Toriel, who was sitting at the kitchen table, a mug of something steamy - presumably coffee - in her hands. She gestured to the empty seat next to her, which was set up with a plate filled with eggs, bacon, and a glass of orange juice. Feeling more determined at seeing the food laid out before her, Frisk smiled, briefly hugging her mother in greeting, and sat down, scarfing down the food as if she hadn't eaten in ages.
Toriel couldn't help, but softly laugh at her adopted daughters way of eating, as she lifted up her steaming coffee mug, blowing onto the warm liquid, cooling it down, before taking a small sip, smiling contently as the warm liquid mellowed in her stomach.
"Frisk," she stated softly, choosing her words wisely as the brown haired girl glanced up from her morning feast, a questioning look on her face.
"Have you..." she fell silent, before mustering up the courage to ask, "Have you ever attended school? Before coming to the Underworld and meeting all of us."
Toriel knew that Frisk didn't talk much about her past - all in all, she barely spoke, only when it was necessary - and knew that the topic of school must bring back memories of her life before falling - very literally - into the Underworld. Patiently waiting, and feeling just the tiniest bit of angst, Toriel gently pressed on, "Well...?"
Swallowing the remaining food inside her mouth, Frisk looked away from her mother, deciding to stare at the floor instead in silent contemplation. Yes, she had gone to school once, before falling into the Underworld, and staying there for who know's how long. Just thinking of it brought back memories of her past - friends, teachers, classmates, bullies, and of course - her parents.
Shaking her head, dismissing her mind from wandering too far away, Frisk lifted her head back up, smiling reassuringly at Toriel's worried and 'about-to-apologize' face, as she nodded her head in an earnest manner.
Relaxing considerable, as she berated herself for stepping over her boundaries, Toriel smiled and clapped her hands, already finished with her mug of coffee.
"Ah, that is good!" she pointed out, nodding her head as she began to explain, in a stern, but light voice, "Well Frisk, the others have decided to start up a school in the overworld - just for monsters, and maybe humans if they wanted too as well,"
Waiting a moment for the new information to sink in, Toriel went on, "Asgore and I - and a couple other adults - have agreed to this idea - seeing as we have just recently settled, and most of the children have been rather enticed by the thought of adventuring around, but of course, most of the adults still wanted a good education for there children,"
She heaved in a breath, finishing up her explanation, "So I was wondering - would you like to start coming to school once more?"
Blinking in surprise, Frisk thought this over crucially, looking at all the pros and cons that would, or could, happen to her while attending school - and a school for monsters at that. Smiling, feeling just the taddest bit of excitement well up within her, Frisk nodded, feeling determination flood into her, once again.
Mirroring her smile, Toriel scooped up Frisk in her firm arms, eliciting a giggle from the semi-mute girl, as she nuzzled noises with her adopted daughter.
"I'm glad to hear that Frisk," she softly laughed at the unintentional pun she had put in, "School will be starting next week, so be prepared, alright my child? I will help you get your supplies and other things."
Curious, Frisk asked meekly, "W-what will you be doing," hesitating still, but forcing herself to say it, "Mom?"
Toriel blushed a soft pink, in shy embarrassment at Frisk calling her "mom", as she airily laughed and stated vaguely, "You'll see dear."
Softly frowning and tilting her head curiously, Frisk could only silently agree with her mother. She wanted to question her more, but decided against it and let a big grin sprout on her face. Excitement was laced together with the thought of going back to school. And for that matter - a monster school.
A/N: So I recently finished watching Cry's play-through for 'UnderTale', and I must say - I am ASTOUNDED at this game! This game pulls heartstrings, man! I really, loved the play-through, and would love to play it myself one day. Although I know (or really don't know) that Cry is through with the game, I am silently hoping that he'd do the 'Genocide Run' I keep seeing and hearing about. So far, most of the information I've learned about it, is from here - Fanfiction Net. I am curious as to what happens in the 'Genocide Run' route, and I think I've found a good enough video on Youtube to watch it, but - fingers crossed - I do hope Cry replays 'UnderTale' and does the 'Genocide Run' this time - even though it seems to be really cruel with most of the information I've gathered...
Ah, also, about my story - In this story Frisk is a female (if you haven't caught that yet), and let's make her... Thirteen, a troublesome age, but I think Frisk would be a bit mature even though she's in her supposed "rebellious" stage.
I sincerely hope I can continue this story, seeing at how small the 'UnderTale' fanfiction fandom is compared with others. I might also make one-shots of varying ships - mostly Sans/Frisk - I don't know why, but I ship the two a lot if Frisk was a girl.
Happy reading! Every follow, favorite, and review is appreciated!
