Prolog
It's about time that I get back here. Sans is standing in front of me, his permanent smile glued to his face, making his usual speech until I interrupt him. Yes, I. I'm not talking about Frisk or Chara, because I will branch this timeline off of the game and turn it into a fanfiction. In the original game Toby Fox is the all-knowing being, but in this fanfiction I decide what's going to happen and there will be spoilers for the game, so don't be surprised.
Firstly, an important notice. The first roughly 2000 words are just the prolog and don't show how the actual story is going to be like. Before you decide to quit reading this, please, read to the end of this chapter, or at least past the prolog.
Also I think that it's important to mention that I changed the title of the story from "True Happiness - possible or impossible?" to "Escaping Fate". I just think that that sounds and fits better.
Now, let's continue with the story.
°Sans, I think that we both are bored by your talk by now, so how about I offer you a deal?
Sans seems to be shocked. I'm not really surprised, to be honest, I actually expected it. Through all the resets I made thus far, I never spoke in-game. Usually, Frisk would answer with silence or Chara would make some unsettling comments, but we, the players, never speak, we only choose options. That's the reason why this isn't part of the „main timeline" anymore. I'll call every possible timelines in the game „main timeline", because the whole fandom has its roots from the game. Of course that includes this little fanfiction of mine. Anyway, like I said, Sans wasn't expecting me to suddenly intervene with the natural flow of everything and his observant eyes scanning Judgement Hall actually remind me that I don't have a physical form in the Undertale world, resulting in my voice coming from various directions.
*heh, that's the first time i actually hear you speak and… since it's a nice change of the monotonous things, let me hear what you have to offer.
He said it with a shrug, hands in his hoodie and eyesockets closed. Thats's the lazy skeleton we all love! Well, most of us, I can't read everyones thoughs, can I? Anyway, even if his stance screams „I don't care", the theorists of us know that it's just a mask. Now that I think about it, playing the Genocide Route is probably enough to know why Sans is behaving like that. I've taken the liberty of creating a small floating ball of blue light which will serve as my „body" for now. Why is it blue? Well, it's my favourite colour. Ah! „Colour" is a good example. Well, English is not my native language, so don't be surprised by mistakes or the lack of puns and I won't make an effort to separate AE and BE, because I'm too lazy. Enough slaking off, it's time that I include Frisk and Chara. So… Let's separate and let them float in the air next to each other. Frisk's face doesn't show any emotion, but Chara seems to be very angry and asks constantly how it's possible for me to take their control over Undertale. I float to Sans and begin to talk to him.
°Who do you think represents a normal human the most? The merciful Frisk or Chara, the offspring of violence?
Sans doesn't answer. He's just standing there, his eyesockets open and his arms hanging lazily by his sides, hands still in his pockets. I don't know if he knows the answer or not. Interpret it the way you like, I'll answer my own question for now.
°They are both part of a normal human. Frisk is the part that sympathizes with you monsters and Chara is the burning curiosity that constantly asks „What if…?". I accomplished a Normal Ending the first time I played Undertale, but if I had known that I can spare everybody, I would have aimed for the True Pacifist Ending. After I finished my first time, I watched Let's Plays from the other routes and I just had to do the True Pacifist Route myself. Later, I did the Genocide Route too. Do you know what had driven me to that decision? It wasn't curiosity, I knew everything through the Let's Plays. You, Sans. You and Undyne. I wanted to challange you and win at least one time and Chara didn't scare me in the slightest, because I can even make them forget. Even when they destroyed the game, they know that they are bound to it. That's the reason why they made a deal with me later on.
Silence. Even Chara doesn't say a word. I think that know is a good point to make something clear. I'm of the opinion that it isn't Chara who is evil, but us, the players. Just continue reading this fanfic if you want to see their change. Now back to the story… Well, a few minutes go by and Sans finally speaks.
*what do you want from me? what is your goal?
His eyesockets were empty as he told me his questions. It seems that in his point of view I'm an even bigger threat than before. I chuckle and answer.
°What I want from you? My goal? Now that I know practically everything the game has to offer as facts and not as theory-material, I want you guys to have a "Happy End". At least in this timeline.
Sans' eyelights return and become smaller in his eyesockets. He is surprised.
°What are you giving me that look for? I will explain it in a simple way. My „Chara-Half" still isn't sated, because there are way too many secrets to solve, but my „Frisk-Half" isn't satisfied either, because there isn't a „Happy-End". What to do, what to do? Well how about creating my own "Happy-End"?
It takes a few minutes for Sans to answer, but his reply is full of suspicion.
*how can i trust you?
I sigh. Honestly, this fanfiction is supossed to be more than an argument between Sans and me.
°I can ask any other Sanses for approval. You should be happy that one of us writers actually chooses you for a Happy End. Other Sanses weren't that lucky, you know. Some suffer depression, others become mad or they just commit suicide, only to be brought back with a reset. You should be happy that i didn't turn you into a crybaby or who knows what.
The skeleton hesitantly asks.
*promise me that i won't regret it.
°You are my favourite character, you know? That's why I won't make promises, because you wouldn't.
That was a pretty lame excuse. The real reason why I won't promise that is that I can't write the characters out of character and I have a feeling that Sans will have pretty bad emotional stress. While we are by emotional stress, I'm aware that Flowey is listening in the Throne Room, I didn't forget him. Maybe, I will turn him back into Asriel and let him remember everything, but that isn't important now. I turn my gaze to Sans only to find him deep in thought. He is probably pondering about why I didn't promise him that he won't regret it. I sigh. I really can't understand him, it's not like he has much to lose anyway. Oh well, I will just wait for him to finally answer me. It's not like im stuck in this fanfiction. I'll just do something else to bypass the time.
°You can think about it as long as you want. I have enough time.
And with that the blue light vanishes, leaving a thinking skeleton and two floating humans behind…
Only to appear again instantly. Well, at least for us. I don't know how much time went by for the three living beings, the moment I disappeared I came back in the moment when Sans is ready to answer. Who knows how long it took for him to finally find an answer.
*i just made my decision and you instantly appear again from nowhere. heh. i accept your offer, but if you try anything funny-
°You can't threat me, you are aware of that fact, right? Anyway, I'm happy that you agreed! It would have been pretty troublesome, if i had to search for another Sans and now I can finally bring this chapter to an end!
*wait- what do you mean with chapter?
°Oh, I didn't tell you right? Your world isn't based on a game anymore, but on a story. Don't worry, I'll try to make it as similar as the game as possible. It's not like you could prevent it anyway. This world's base changed the moment I spoke to you. Also, there will be other people reading this story, so be prepared!
Sans seems to be surprised. Again?! Okay, I understand that it's a lot to take in for the short monster, but still- I want to end this chapter!
*i can't argue with you now, can i? i'm not the one in control. i can only hope that i won't regret my decision. the only thing i can cling to is the fact that you were so kind to ask me for permission. but honestly- please, don't make me regret it.
°I will see what I can do about it.
Sans is directing his gaze onto the ground. His fake smile isn't showing happiness, but concern. It seems like he still isn't sure if it was the right decision. Anyway, I'm so relieved that the skeleton finally agrees! Now I can truly end this chapter! I'm really tired of Sans' concerns.
°I hope you guys like the story so far! I won't beg for reviews, favs or follows, but it just really motivates us writers. It's like telling us „You are appreciated!" and it makes us really happy. So, did i forget anything…? Oh! Pairings! Okay, I have my OTPs and so on, but I don't really plan on integrating pairings, because I want this story to stay as neutral as possible, so that everybody can read it. But that doesn't mean that you aren't allowed to read between the lines! So, what's next on the list… Mhm, okay. When you find plotholes, please tell me. That also applys to spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes and wrong/weird expressions. This is my first fanfiction in English and I know how it is to read terribly written stories, so please, if you want fanfictions with higher quality, then please help the authors who are willing to improve their writing. Even if it's just a missing –s on a verb. Next on the list would be my update schedule. I will write whenever I want to write. In other words, updates will be pretty random and like I already said, encouragement is always appreciated, but if somebody doesn't like the story, don't write hate-comments. It's okay if you don't like what I write, but that doesn't justify you insulting me. So, I think that was everything on my imaginary list. One important notice though, I only have a rough line about how the story is supposed to progress, so don't be surprised if I change something in the previous chapters or if it takes long for me to update. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask! And thus, I will say my farewells. See you in the next chapter! Sans, you too!
*w-what? oh! y-yeah, see you guys in the next chapter?
°Stop being so wary Sans and don't you have anything else to say? You didn't speak very much in this chapter.
*well, frisk didn't say a single word. that also applys to flowey and asgore. only chara yelled something about you taking control from them.
°True. Anyway, see you in the next chapter Sans!
*till the next chapter.
And thus the game mechanics defying beings are met with blackness. Well, besides us of course.
°Now to the topics the Undertale characters don't need to hear! To the pairing thing, you can ask me if I can write something for a specific pairing. I don't really hate any other pairings. Just remember one thing: I WRITE WHENEVER AND WHAT I LIKE. But asking doesn't hurt.
Now to something entirely else: German is my native language (but I'm Asian). You can ask me to translate my stories and like the story-writing: I WRITE WHENEVER AND WHAT I LIKE.
Before you request anything, please, check my profile for more information on that matter.
Cover changed since 8th May 2016. Feel free to tell me how horrible my drawing skills are!
[Above: prolog/former chapter 1 | Beneath: the actual start of the story/former chapter 2]
Chapter 1 – A slightly different start of an Undertale save file
Impact. Rustling. A small, nearly unhearable groan. Frisk stands up and first of all examines their surroundings. They look around, only to see a dark corridor to their left and otherwise black walls. They turn their face upwards and see a big hole in the distance, where sunlight shines through. Beneath their shoes they could feel grass and… flowers. The young child looks down to check the colour of the plants. The flowers are yellow. They are yellow, but… That can't be. Neither they nor Chara reseted, so it can't be possible. Then the memories from the last reset come back. Frisk turns her attention to her soul and is relieved to feel both her soul and Chara, but… Something is wrong. Something tries to separate itself from her soul. Something very important. Chara struggles for keeping that something inside Frisk's soul, but they are too weak. That something splits itself from Frisk and is now floating in front of the child with a red glow which quickly turns into a blue one. The small human checks themselves again. At first glance everything seems to be alright, but after they take a closer look at themselves they realise that an important thing was missing. Frisk is confused. They can't believe that that was possible. In hopes of negating their fear, they try to open the menu, only to be met with… nothing. They stare at the space where the buttons „Continue" and „Reset" should be. Panic settles inside them and they turn to look at me. After a few seconds of silence the poor child tries to catch me only to realise that they can't touch me and fall face-first to the ground. The small human looks up to face me again and stands up with determination in their eyes. Determination. I honestly have to laugh and my actions only encourage them to try to get a hold on me. At the beginning their movements are precise, but after a few minutes they turn desperate. Needless to say, they still can't touch me and exhaust themselves pretty fast. I don't do anything. I just float there, watching them as they desperately try to get back what they lost, my determination. I shake my head. They can't get back what isn't theirs to begin with.
If the determination of the humans had been enough to reset, then Undertale would have been doomed. Of course, mother nature already set rules. No matter how much determination one creature gets, it can never get enough to break the natural law, but, like always, there are exceptions. What about Flowey? Why could he reset? Well, he is an anomaly, kind of. Determination is reserved for creatures with a soul. What happens, when a soulless being is being injected with determination? The result is something like Flowey. With enough determination soulless beings can trick mother nature into believing that they have a soul. They can even imitate creatures with souls perfectly, but there is one flaw. They can't imitate emotions properly. That's the reason why Flowey got insane, but everyhing has its pros and cons. Since Flowey doesn't have any emotions to interfere with his determination, he can store an endless amount of it, until he can even reset. The mystery of Flowey's ability to reset should be clear now, but what happens when another being with more determination suddenly appears out of thin air? The natural rules will follow the one with more determination and if two beings have the exact amount of determination, they will cancel each other out. That should explain why we have the power to reset now. We have unlimited determination, while Flowey has a limitation, because he only has the amount of determination from his universe at his disposal. Then how come Flowey manages to take our saving abilities in the True Pacifist Route? Because we didn't put all of our determination in the game. After all, it's still a game in our eyes, right?
So, what about the two standing in front of me? Frisk and Chara serve as our vessel, but why them? Because their soul is dominated with determination, so we can hide inside them. But what about Chara being so evil? Well, they once were human, but as time goes on their hate consumed their whole being, so someone had to compensate for that. That someone is Frisk. These two also show, how every human has good and evil inside them, because they belong together. They are two sides of a coin.
I'm really sorry that there is so much theory in this chapter, but how do you guys explain Sans abilities? Well, Sans is a skeleton. Skeletons aren't based on humans for nothing. They can bear more determination compared to other monsters, but of course even they have limits. Like that's not enough they can even use magic, because of the fact that they are still monsters. The only problem is how they are going to get determination. After all, monsters are known for their low amount of it. Still, it's not impossible to get a decent amount of it, even for a monster. The best example would be Undyne. Undyne the Undying. The true heroine. Do you guys remember the Genocide Route? After you beat the fish woman, she actually melts. Well, that's because at that time she had so much determination that her body couldn't handle it anymore. Naturally produced determination. Looks like it really is possile for monsters to have a decent amount of determination and perhaps Sans cares for his brother more than he already shows. There is also the possibility that science is involved. Anyway, like I said, monsters melt when they have to much determination, so there is no creature with both a high amount of determination and magic, right? Well, there is. Maybe even two. The first is Sans and the second is… maybe Gaster. With both determination and magic at disposal, who knows what possibilities the two skeletons had and still have. We know that determination can bend time and space and maybe because Gaster went over his limits in one of his experiments, he ended up being scattered through time and space. What about Papyrus? Why am I ignoring him till now? It's because Papyrus doesn't have such a high amount of determination like the other two skeletons and that makes him a normal monster.
That is just my theory, so if you don't agree, don't bother to much with it. Anyway, it's time that I continue with the story, right? Frisk is still standing in front of me, exhausted from their recent actions. After they catch their breath, I ask them if we could finally continue.
°Are you finished? I would like to make a little progress.
They look at me with a frown. Looks like they don't trust me and including their recent actions, I think that they don't like the fact that I have the ability to reset now. I admit that not all my actions were good, but the determination isn't theirs to begin with. Tired of their suspicion, I start floating to the door that leads to the room where I met Flowey for the first time. I can hear Frisk sighing behind me before the small child starts tagging along. After we arrive in the next area we are greeted by Toriel. The goat lady talks to Frisk first before she turns to me and eyes me suspiciously. I guess its because a being made up entirely of determination can give off a strange feeling. The adult monster asks me with a friendly voice.
*Would you be so nice to tell me your name? And maybe… what you are? Of course, only if it doesn't bother you.
°I… don't remember anything. The first thing I can remember is me waking up in the room where Frisk and I just came from. You can call me Q though. Q like the letter „Q" or the word „cute" without the „-te". The sound can also be written like „Kyu".
I answer her with an innocent voice and that innocence with my faked amnesia instantly spark the caring side of Toriel. The fact that my voice is that of a young female teenager only strengthens her motherly side. The former queen carefully places her hands around me, like she's trying to hold me, and speaks to me kindly.
*You poor innocent being. How merciless fate can be.
She turns her attention to both me and Frisk before she continues.
*Please, follow me. I will show you how the Ruins work.
We comply with her request. During Frisk's spar with the dummy, Toriel asks me if I would like to try talking to the dummy. She probably asks instead of ordering me, because I can't be touched anyway and thus I can't get into fights. I decline. During Frisk's fight against Froggit, where Frisk sparred the little monster, I just watched from the sidelines and while Toriel leads Frisk through the spikes I just float along. After the small child and I crossed the long room which is the area after the spikes Toriel explains her actions, gives us a cell phone and leaves. Before I could go to the next area, Chara suddenly speaks.
*What do you want?
They pause, so that I can turn my attention to them. I'm not surprised that Chara questions me. I mean, I would be mad too when somebody suddenly steals my power over a whole universe.
°Exactly what I said before the reset. I want a happy ending.
*Like I would believe such nonsense! You will just reset everything and kill everyone again! I know your type.
°Don't worry, this timeline will be safe and if I become bored, I will just go terrorize another timeline. It's not like you can stop me anyway.
*No sane person who remembers the resets will believe you. Do you really think that you convinced Sans-
°No, I don't, but that will change soon enough. And now, Chara, please shut up. I don't have the nerve to argue with you at the moment. I just want to continue the story.
*Why should I listen to you?
°If you don't comply, I will force you. As to why you should listen to me, if your existence is dear to you, I strongly recommend you to follow my commands.
Chara lets out a sound of irritation and vanishes. Frisk gains the control over their body again and stare at me with their unchanging face. After a few seconds we continue the familiar path. We speak and befriend every monster that comes across us. Frisk only takes one candy and we get to see Napstablook's hat again. How does he call it? Dapperblook? Anyway, we buy something at the Spider Bake Sale and pick up every item we can find. The Faded Ribbon is instantly equipped by Frisk to raise their defense, while the Toy Knife is being ignored. Whenever we cross a save point, I go there and save. Of course, I have many save files, because why not? They can come in handy in the future.
After we solved the familiar puzzles, we finally reach Toriel's house. The former queen does the same things she does every time. She invites us inside her house and after Frisk slept for a while we pick up the slice of butterscotch-cinnamon pie the adult left for us. We search for Toriel and soon find her reading in the living room.
*Up already, I see? Um, I want you to know how glad I am to have someone here. There are so many old books I want to share. I want to show you my favorite bug-hunting spot. I've also prepared a curriculum for your education. This may come as a surprise to you… But I have always wanted to be a teacher. …actually, perhaps that isn't very surprising. STILL. I am glad to have you living here.
The pain in Frisk's chest turns worse with every word that leaves Toriel's snout. It's getting harder for the small child to keep up a smiling face, but you can still see the guilt in the young human's face. Toriel just wants the best for them, yet they… they… They can feel the dust of various Toriels clinging on their small hands. They can feel their sins crawling on their back.
*Oh, did you want something? What is it?
Frisk turns their face in my direction and I approve their unspoken question. They want to spent time with the adult monster, time we players always stole from the innocent human. In this timeline, I will let Frisk enjoy themselves and just sit back. The young child looks in the direction of the giant goat woman and shakes their head.
*If you need anything, just ask.
Frisk and I pretend to go exploring, even though we just want to get back to our room. There, I motion my small companion to sit down and listen to me.
°Frisk, stop blaming yourself for crimes that aren't yours to begin with.
The little human focuses their sight on the floor, hiding their face from me. They still doubt my words and mutter things like how they could have stopped Chara and me. That's it!
°Frisk, listen to me.
I summon a light blue hand and use it to slowly turn their head towards me. Their face is covered with tears and more threaten to roll down these young child's cheeks.
°It's not your fault. Chara and I are responsible for the deaths of many monsters. We used your body as a tool to commit our crimes. You are not responsile in any way. You are a victim. You were forced to do thing you didn't want to. Hell, I even sold your soul without permission.
I use the summoned hand to carefully wipe the tears away. Frisk snuffles a few times before finally calming down. They then smile at me, silently thanking me. I ruffle their hair and that causes the little human to laugh. I let my hand vanish and my light dims, creating a soothing light source.
°A smile suits your face better than tears. Come on! Let's go to Toriel!
Exiting our room, we make our way to the friendly goat woman and Frisk silently tugs at Toriel's sleeve.
*What is it?
The little human pulls the slice of Butterscotch-cinnamon pie out of the ITEM menu and holds it in front of the former queen.
*Ah! You want to eat the pie, right? Let me get you a fork-
The young child clings to the giant monster and shakes their head. They use their right index finger to point firstly at themselves, then at Toriel and finally at the pie.
°Frisk wants to eat the pie together with you.
It seems like Frisk is too shy to talk to Toriel, so I just helped out. Said monster blinks a few times before realisation hit her.
*Now I understand! Wait here for a moment, alright? I will come back with the forks and my slice. You can already go and sit down at the table, if you want.
The goat woman vanishes in the kitchen and Frisk sits down on the smallest chair. The other two are too big and probably are for Asgore and his former wife. It doesn't take long for Toriel to show up again with the promised things and soon the two of them eat with content expressions on their faces. When the adult monster finished half of her slice, she turns her attention to me.
*Don't you want a slice too, Q?
°Nah. I don't need to eat, so it's fine. I'm not even sure if I can consume food. Still, thanks for asking me!
*You're welcome! Just tell me if you need anything, alright?
°Sure!
Besides the small conversation between me and Toriel, nothing noteworthy happened during supper and the former mother of two lovely children decides to let Frisk sleep. She reads the small human a bedtime story until said human drifts off before speaking to me.
*I think you already noticed that, but I'm not really sure how to take care of you. Do you need sleep?
°I don't think so and don't worry! I know that I'm not normal and I really appreciate your concern, but you shouldn't think too much about it. I don't really need anything. The company of Frisk and you is enough.
*I see. Thank you for telling me. Like I said, if you happen to need anything else, don't hesitate to tell me!
°I will take that into account when the time comes!
The former queen turns the lights off and quietly closes the door. I settle beside Frisk's head on the comfy pillow and do something else in the real world until my small companion wakes up.
The next day, Frisk and Toriel clean the Ruins a bit and the former mother shows the young child her favorite bug-hunting spot along the way. The day after tomorrow, the goat woman sets her curriculum for the small human into motion and shows them many old books.
Time flies and soon nearly a whole week passed. During these days, Frisk smiled and laughed a lot. I think that was the first time I saw them so happy, but good times never last. We wasted enough precious hours, it's time to move on.
Frisk is currently reading a children's book and I use the chance to poke them once. When I finally get their attention, I motion to the stairs that move downwards. The happy smile my companion had until now vanishes and is replaced with sad understanding.
We call Toriel and tell her to take a seat. From the player's perspective, the former queen is sitting on the left side of the table while my young companion and I rest on the right side. Toriel's hands are on the table and hold each other while said monster smiles at us with a motherly expression. Before the woman can say anything, I speak first.
°Toriel, we have to go.
The adult goat stops every thought she just had and sits there, unmoving. When realisation hit her, she clenches her hands and asks with a trembling voice.
*W-what do you mean?
°You know exactly what I mean. We have to go and meet Asgore.
The normally collected monster suddenly slams her hands on the table and stands up abruptly.
*Who teached you that name?! That doesn't matter. You are not allowed to meet him! His plan cannot be allowed to succeed!
After a moment of silence, the adult woman tries to exit the room, only to walk into a familiar barrier that separates the two ending of the table. When the surprise wears off, the former queen examines the invisible wall and her eyes widen in panic.
*T-that can't be…! That feels like… like...
°Like the barrier that traps us down here, right?
Toriel looks at me with fear in her eyes.
*… Who are you?
°Someone who knows and wishes the best for monsterkind. If you promise me not to go and destroy the exit of the ruins, I will remove the small barrier in front of you.
Intimidated by my power, the former queen silently nods and sits down again. I remove the barrier in the room and settle down on Frisk's head.
°Would you believe me when I say that I know a way to destroy the barrier without killing another human child?
The adult goat perks up at that.
*I-is that possible?!
One can clearly hear the hope in her voice. I chuckle at that before focusing on the conversation again.
°It will only work with your cooperation.
Toriel waits patiently, waiting for me to continue.
°Frisk and I have to move on and prepare some things. Do you remember what you told me?
The former queen remains silent.
°You told me to tell you whenever I need something. So promise me one thing. When I call you on your cell phone, pick up and please follow my instructions.
*… What will you tell me to do?
°Don't worry, it's nothing bad. I won't ask you to hurt something or to do something more cruel.
After a few seconds, Toriel sighs and responds.
*… Alright.
At that answer, Frisk and I smile at each other, but are soon interrupted by the goat woman.
*I still have one question though. Didn't you say that you have amnesia?
°I'm not a good girl, Toriel. I'm a bad girl.
*… I see. Is there something else I need to know about you two? Maybe about Frisk?
°Frisk is a normal human child. Don't worry.
That is actually a lie, because… well… I don't think that it's a good idea to mention Chara now, right? The time will come, but for now, Toriel has to wait.
°We will take our leave now, Toriel. I hope we will see each other again soon.
Frisk agrees with me. My last sentence ends the conversation and my young companion and I stand up to exit the Ruins, but Toriel stops us.
*Wait, my children!
The adult monster rushes into the kitchen and brings us a slice of Butterscotch-cinnamon pie.
*Be good, won't you?
Frisk takes the pie in their hands and stares at it. After a few seconds, a lone tear escapes their eyes and they nod while snuffling. They put it into the ITEM menu and tackle the motherly monster with a hug. Toriel goes to her knees to return the hug before the two of them separate. Then, Frisk and I go down the stairs, leaving the former queen behind.
We slowly approach the door in the basement. Why slowly? I turn my attention to Frisk's face and I see nervousness. Now I understand! We are goint to meet Sans again!
°Don't worry, Frisk. I assure you that Sans won't hurt you.
They still have that sad expression. I sigh.
°I promise that I will settle things with Sans, okay? And I'm sure that Sans isn't mad at you. It wasn't you who killed countless monsters, after all. I'm certain that he's angry at Chara and me instead.
After I see that I still didn't lift Frisk's mood, I quit talking and we silently approach the big door at the end of the impossibly long hall. We stop in front of the only thing that separates us from the cold place. The cold place where Snowdin lies. The cold place where the only two skeletons in the whole Underground live. The cold place where Papyrus lives, the only monster that can't or won't kill Frisk. The cold place where the only monster that remembers the resets lives. The cold place where we will meet our judge. The cold place where we will face Sans.
Frisk wants to open the door, but I stop them. After all, this is the end of the chapter and if you guys want to read more, you will have to wait for the next!
°Sorry Frisk, but you will have to wait for the next chapter. Until then, please calm down, because I don't think that you want to meet Sans with that sad expression.
Anyway, I can't believe that I actually got the motivation to continue this story. Seems like not promising anything is actually pretty good for my imagination. It doesn't put me under stress and I can write fanfictions as a real little hobby, not work. But honestly now, two follows? Thank you so much! I would also like to thank Reader99 for commenting on this little story of mine! Actually, can you tell me why you would ship Sans and Chara? No offense, I'm just curious. Also, I would like to know what you guys think of the story so far. What do you guys think of the idea this story is based on? I would really like to read the opinions of other people. With that said I will say my goodbyes! I hope you enjoyed the story so far and hopefully we will meet again in the next chapter! Frisk, you too!
Frisk waves with their right hand and smiles sweetly.
