"Okay Josh, my turn. Off with you," Carmen sighed, leaning against his chair.

"One sec... Muffet's battle is difficult. I wanna beat it."

"You've been there playing for such a long time," Carmen pointed out, watching as her brother moved a purple heart between three strings as spiders and other attacks flew at it.

"So? What are you going to do that is so important, it can't even wait?" He asked, getting hit with a spider. "Leave me alone so I can beat this!"

"No. It's my turn. You've already beat this game like, what, three times?" Carmen said, rolling her eyes as her brother attacked the strange spider-girl-thing on the screen.

"Four. But yeah, it's a good one. I want the neutral ending where Mettaton becomes the king!"

"Ugh... can't it wait?" Carmen sighed, not being able to keep herself from smirking when her brother was hit by a flying boomerang-like object.

"Gosh darn it! My HP is so low now, and I'm not even close!" He sighed. "I should've saved that spider doughnut..." He glared at the screen as his 'heart' broke in two. "That's your fault."

"Yeah sure, whatever," Carmen sighed, shooing her brother away. "It's my turn. Go do... something else."

"One more try...' He whined, trying to sit down.

"My big-sister-veto-power says no."

"C'mon!"

"No. Go away. You've been playing all day."

Joshua stormed off, retreating upstairs into his room.

"Finally..." he sighed, sitting down and settling into the chair.

She's seen the ending screen a few times. "Josh, you must stay determined!"

She couldn't help but laugh at her brother obstinate behavior earlier. "If this is just making him more stubborn, I'm not sure if he should play this!" She laughed under her breath.

She moved the mouse to the exit button, waiting for the game to close.

Instead, the screen just flashed white. A wave of black washed over it, making it appear almost tunnel-like. She stared at it, trying to comprehend what was happened.

Did Josh get another virus in here? She wondered, starting to examine the computer itself. It seemed fine.

As she started to sit back up, staring back into the screen.

Is the screen okay? She wondered, moving her hand to check the wiring.

Her hand brushed the bright screen, filling her with a strange feeling.

DETERMINATION.

Carmen felt her hand starting to dissolve.

"No no no no no..." She said, staring as her arm began to vaporize into dust. She looked down at her chest, seeing a red heart embedded in her flesh.

This isn't real... Was all she could think as she closed her eyes and waited for things to go back to normal.

A.N: This story will more or less follow the plot of Undertale, but It will be from Carmen's point of view. I've made a few tweaks how the route will run as well. (i.e, Undyne becoming Carmen's friend, despite it not being a true pacifist run.) I have my reasons for these tweaks, and I hope that they will make some sense.

Also, for storytelling purposes, dialogue and the like will not match up perfectly with what is said in the game. I'll keep all themes and ideas there, but to help the story flow better, I will not be copying the script of the game word-for-word. Thank you!
