Chapter One: Waking Up

/Break/

In a fireplace lit room a woman with brown hair sits before a group of children, some children had fur, others had scales, some had some sort of mix, and there were others that skin of a human. They were still getting seated as one speaks up.

"Hey are you going to tell us another story of the Great Frisk and Asriel?!" A brown furred goat asks while their short tail wags crazily.

"Hmm, I don't see why not. I have told you of some of the known adventures, but I have never told you the full story yet have I? How about we learn of everything that happened in the life of Asriel Dreemurr and Frisk Dreemurr, from the moment it all started in The Underground. How does that sound children? After that we can go visit The monster Queen. She said that she wanted to bake something for the you all today." The children nod profusely.

"Once… Long ago there was a race of people, known as the 'Sio'ta'. The Sio'ta, were just like you and I in a way, they looked just like humans and monsters. What separated them from Monsters and Humans, was in fact their soul itself, as for how the Sio'ta originally came to be? That is a story for another day to learn." the motherly voice says as a small group of children sit in front of them, they give a gentle smile to the young faces looking at them smile at her. The woman's eyes were a golden color as she smiles and rubs the closest child's head, their tail begins to wag.

"The Sio'ta were a powerful race of people, however they were also the kindest, and held a dangerous secret about themselves. They would do anything to help their friends, They would do anything to protect the innocent, They would do anything, to keep the balance. The story goes that the world in it's near end, when the scales of Dark and Light have been destroyed by imbalance, they would return again. This is the story of how we came to know the Sio'ta of our era. The Sio'ta is whom saved us all. This is after all a story that is never ending, as the battle for light and dark still continues, and the Sio'ta will be needed again in the future." She says as the children's faces light up with fear and worry of that as she smiles.

"Do not fear little ones, they will protect each and everyone one of you when that day comes." The children relax as she continues her little story.

"The Sio'ta were never welcomed; at first; however little did we know that they would be our salvation. We hated the First Sio'ta, We despised them, we detested them, they were an abomination. The kindest of the First two Sio'ta to ever resurface, was a girl, by the name of Frisk. The strongest of the First Sio'ta was a boy, by the name of Asriel Dreemurr, Now, I know it seems I left Frisk's last name out, however that is part of the story, and we never spoil a good story." She gives a gentle laugh as the children join in with a series of giggles.

"Why were they never welcomed?" a small blue furred fox girl asks as the woman smiles.

"Well, It is because the Sio'ta could look human or monster, and yet when they learned that they could wield magic and could live longer than anyone else, even monsters. The humans hated the Sio'ta because they had everything that they wanted. Power and longevity the two things the human race craved since they lost their own. The monsters were the only race that treated them fairly from the start." She says as the girl turns her head.

"What do you mean?" The girl asks as the women gives a gentle chuckle.

"Well, after a Sio'ta dies, they are reborn as a human. A part of them hungers for the powers and life again." The child makes an 'oh' face. "Anyways let us continue the story." She brightens her smile a bit as she resumes her tale.

"Frisk was a young girl of nine when it all began, and it began with the freeing of the monsters. She did this for six years, Reset after Reset. The world never stopped moving forwards as time still affected them all. Everyone grew in age day, by day. Even the monsters of the Underground; Asriel Dreemurr had died, over forty years before, with his brother, Chara Dreemurr. He was a human, or so everyone thought. They tried to free the monsters before Frisk, and failed as it required the death of Chara to cross the barrier, They hated Asriel, for killing Chara. They didn't know the truth when the humans attacked Asriel, he died the same day as his brother from wounds he was afflicted with; he had the power to retaliate, His brother's soul demanded it! However, he didn't Asriel was too nice, and it was this kindness that a factor in everything he did." Her smile brightens even more as all the children scoots closer.

"Asriel returned home and died before his mother and father as he refused to die and vanish on the surface, he would rather have one final memory of seeing his parents before he left the world. King Asgore and Queen Toriel; these two people were hurt the most that day, they lost not one, but two children! Asgore infuriated by this, claimed to kill all humans… Toriel hurt and ashamed, denouncing her status as 'Queen' she leaves to the ruins, where it all began. Now even though Asriel had died, Alphys the royal scientist had a plan of trying to use something they called 'Determination' as the tried it on 'fallen' monsters that were in danger of dying, she thought it worked before it showed, a negative side effect to the monster body that seemed worse than death. She gave it one last attempt on an object without a soul already. A flower, now she chose a certain flower that rested in the throne room, the one that lied right underneath Asriel's body when he turned to dust. She injected the Determination in as it soon brought the flower alive, little did she know she resurrected Asriel with out a soul and now that he was alive again he was confused at first, that soon turned to anger when he felt no other emotion, not even love, the one he craved to have back the most." She looks around to see all the children's eyes locked on her, and a pair of loving emerald eyes across the room watch her with a smile.

"Now let me explain how it all started for Frisk, as things were not easy for her when she fell down into the Underground, in fact it was quite hard for her." She says as her expression falls a bit the children look worried as she gives them a gentle smile.

"Frisk fell into the Underground, though the reason why, would be something Asriel would never let happen again. He would never let that happen to his children, or his grandchildren." She begins as the children's eyes widen, wondering what was so dark about her past.

"Frisk unsure what to do, decided that she would be determined to see this through, a saying echoed in her mind, telling her 'Sometimes… life comes unexpected with rewards for the errors of the past.' So she pushed forwards, She met Flowey, the revived, flower of Asriel Dreemurr, who used the term 'Kill or be Killed' Frisk unsure trusted Flowey at first, as he was 'nice' however he tried to kill her and that is when Toriel saved her, experiencing kindness and evil at the same time confused her. However Toriel had attacked the flower so she had to be good. She followed her till she was at Toriel's home, where she got rest and a slice of 'Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie' It warmed her heart, Frisk found someone who cared. She wanted to stay, but something told her to move forwards..." Her smile grew warmer as if remembering something.

"She progressed and met many monsters, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, Asgore, Gerson, Monster kid, Mettaton… Chara, and finally Asriel. When she met Asriel, she changed. She felt a purpose for once! And she was determined to save him, she had learned everything about him, read every book, watched every video, checked every item in the underground. She found her method finally, and she would save him. She went through so many ideas, and some; were not the wisest, some were not the kindest. She suffered and everyone else has as well… because she refused to let someone suffer for the acts of the human race. Asriel would be given another chance to live happily, not only that but he would find a new life." Her voice was cheerier as she says the last bit the children were not noticing this however a few adults had entered the room and they smile looking at her as if remembering their own past.

"She saved him by having Alphys make a soul vessel, a container for Asriel. Alphys the royal scientist was hesitant about doing so at first as it was dangerous to Frisk, however she was willing to help her friend who had saved her and helped her admit her feelings to the one she loved. The Vessel worked miraculously, and even made him stronger! However that is when the chain started to unravel from everything, Frisk being fifteen by now, Sans had watched her grow… She was still young when she did her first Genocide though she never completed it, it hurt too much after taking Undyne down, and after she turned twelve in there, she never did another.. she never finished a single one of the genocide runs. Sans felt happy watching her grow up, it was nice. He would be the one who would protect Frisk and Asriel; after all how can you not, when you watch one child grow from an innocent being to someone who needed your help? Because it was the resetting that did more harm to her than him. It was the genocide that did more harm to her, than everyone else, and he could see it, however Asriel could not at the time." The children gasp as they hear the word 'Genocide' the word was obviously taught to this group. As she smiles gently, a male walks up to her with a smile his emerald eyes gently watching the children.

"Time went by as they were freed it had been three years since then, Frisk and Asriel were now eighteen, and they felt a change in their lives, however they were in school thanks to the years in the underground they had a lot to catch up to…" She speaks out as the children watch with interest peaking. She reaches over to a nearby bookshelf as she places it in her lap, it was rather thick in size as the spine had runes shaped symbols on the side, along with the words 'Story of The First Sio'ta'

"This, is where their story begins. It was a normal day as they wake and they start their new life ahead of them, and as they would learn the beginning is sometimes the hardest to live through when you live with the regret of your actions." She says as she opens the book that rests in her lap.

The morning sun, peers through the home of the Dreemurr home. It shines through the window on the second story on the far right of the house as a young man groans in annoyance. The white furred, dull horned goat man sits up with an annoyed glare towards the window, he looks around his room as he gives a large sigh. The room was a decent sized room, however it was nothing compared to the old room he had. He yawns as his fangs show a bit more, but gives another sigh as he feels a damp cool feeling on his loins.

"Damn it, another dream like that? Come on… stop teasing me!" He growls out as He stands up and moves to the dresser, on his nightstand is a phone a picture frame of him and a human female. She had golden eyes, stood roughly the same height as him, he was only five foot nine, making her five foot seven, she was wearing a purple shirt and a pair of blue jeans, her brown hair pulled back into a pony tail, she had a fair skin color however it was slightly tanned looking as there were a few whiter lines on her. Behind that photo rested a small box as he walks back to his bed he reaches for the phone, however moves and grabs the box instead. He sits down on the bed as he looks at it, it was a purple box with the Delta Rune symbol on it, he opens it up to see a ring with a violet purple, a sapphire blue, and an emerald green diamond in it. The band of it was white gold as he smiles gently.

'One day. One day and I will finally get the courage to take you out for a few weeks before I ask you to marry me, I have to, or I will lose you forever.' He sighs as he looks to the photo with a smile as he places the box down. "Frisk, has life really moved by so quickly? Its been three years. Three long years and now, a wall separates us from each other, we were sharing a room not even for a year before mom forced us apart, Dad seemed to drift away from us to do his duties as the head of monsters for the Government, while mom grew more realistic with us, she won't let us sit alone in either room with the door closed, damn it I just..." He gives a tired sigh. "...there is no point in fighting it is there? Mom will never let us realize what we could be, I don't even know if you would like me like that." He says quietly to himself, outside his room an older woman with white fur was listening in as she frowns.

'Have I really pushed them apart for so long? I, just did not want a mistake to happen. I am so afraid I will lose them again. You both care for each other so much, and yet thanks to what I have done, did I destroy the chance of letting you two be happy for my own happiness?' The woman thinks to her self, she looked like the young male, except at a height of five foot ten, and had a female body. She knocks on the door as she calls out. "Asriel… breakfast is ready, come along its time for school!" She calls out as he replies.

"Coming mother." He says as she walks down the hall and knocks on another door.

"Frisk Breakfast is ready come on down." She calls again as a voice is heard.

"Yes… mother." The voice was depressed sounding as the older woman sighs as she walks down the hall, Asriel didn't hear it, but it hurt the older woman.

'Frisk, please don't lose hope! Dust what have I done to you? You freed us and now… you put on that mast everyday for Asriel's sake… please don't do anything dangerous.' The woman sighs as she walks downstairs, a large goat man sits at the table reading the newspaper as he looks up with a smile.

"Ah Toriel, are the kids coming down?" He asks as Toriel nods.

"Yes… I am getting worried for Frisk though Asgore, have I… really pushed Frisk and Asriel away from each other?" She asks as Asgore sighs and places down the newspaper, his yellow hair and beard being part of his uniqueness as he looks to her.

"Toriel… I… honestly do believe that you have been a bit overly strict with them, however they are your children so I let you do as you see fit, Asriel is my son, but I cannot force him to do what hes not ready to do yet… Frisk is complicated… I currently have had to place her on standby, shes… becoming weaker each day and it worries me." He says as Toriel nods.

"She is not eating right, not doing anything as much anymore… I plan to take her to Alphys after school today." She says as Asgore nods.

"Alright, just keep an eye on her dear. She has done so much for us, I cannot bear to see this anymore." He replies as Toriel smiles. The sound of footsteps comes from the stairwell as Frisk comes down first, she was rather skinny, unlike the photo of her in Asriel's room. Her hair was dirty and oily looking, while her clothes were a mess. Asriel came down all cleaned nicely as he smiles. They were wearing their school's standard uniform Black outfits with Blue, representing their final year in the school.

"Good morning Frisk! I see you woke up messy as usual. Howdy Mom, Dad!" He says as Frisk puts on a smile, that made Toriel frown as she hates to see that fake smile on Frisk.

"Morning Asriel, You know me. Not much of a morning person..." She replies as Asriel smiles, he was frowning mentally however.

'Frisk… what is going on, I can see your bones now! You have not been eating right as of late and you've become more careless with out you look… your hair was so shiny last week… now it is so filthy… Why do you keep doing this to your self… I know! I will confront her about it tonight! M-Maybe… I can finally ask you out…' Asriel mentally sighs as he dreams on. "Oh well perhaps we can start brewing up some coffee for you then! Maybe that will help." He says as he takes a seat at the table.

"Don't like coffee, too strong and bitter for me." She quickly replies as Asriel sighs. 'Sorry Asriel… I just… Its hard to keep trying to hold on for you… Every day your greeted by girls… every day everyone cheers your name… I miss… when it didn't matter. I just want us...' She thinks to herself as soon time goes.

Toriel is driving Frisk and Asriel to school as they pass by a couple of Skeletons who wave at them.

"Sans, Frisk looks pretty bad these days don't she?" The tall one asks as the short one nods.

"Yeah Paps, she does. It worries us all too… not as much as it worries Asriel..." He says as they walk down the sidewalk, Papyrus sighs as he frowns.

"I worked so hard to change for everyone else… and now the one Friend I cherish the most from the surface… looks like she is dying. I hope Asriel can notice it too..." He says depressed as Sans chuckles.

"Yeah, he knows. I saw his eyes for a second… hes got something in mind. Come on Papyrus, Undyne is waiting for us to get started on another cooking lesson for you. It's hard to believe that is been three years already since we arrived… it still feels like yesterday." Sans says as Papyrus smiles.

Frisk and Asriel arrive as Toriel lets them out of the car, they make their way in as they were greeted by two of their best friends.

"Frisk!" A female voice says from a black haired girl with magenta eyes. She smiles brightly as a sapphire eyed male walks up with maroon red hair.

"Hey Penny, Jake. Hows it going?" Frisk says as Penny glares at Frisk.

"Hows it going?! YOU LOOK WORSE THAN YESTERDAY! YOU NEED TO EAT!" Penny screams out at Frisk with annoyance. She turns to Asriel. "And you, Make sure she eats! If you don't… My foot will find your jewelry and crush them!" She threatens as Jake sighs.

"Penny, a bit far. Either way Please make sure Frisk eats Asriel. Come one sis we need to make it to class." Jake says with a calm tone as Penny sighs.

"Fine, See you two at lunch!" She says as they take off, Frisk and Asriel both sigh as Asriel looks at Frisk.

"She has a poin-" He was cut out as Frisk gives an annoyed sigh.

"I am Fine Asriel, don't worry." She replies hastily and with annoyance.

"Frisk your not 'Fine' your the exact opposite of it! Please you are worrying me!" He begged as Frisk froze some.

'S-Shit… F-fine...' "Alright… sorry." She replies as Asriel sighs.

'liar! WHY DO YOU LIE TO ME!' He mentally screams as they move to their classes. Frisk was failing all her classes at this time as Asriel was ready to pass and head to college, it was their last year and Asriel would be damned if he left Frisk here while he went to college. It was now noon the part of the Day Frisk hated most as it was lunch time, or as the rest of the female student body liked to call it; 'Asriel Hour'. They would swarm Asriel and try to get him to go on a date with them or get a kiss from him.

Frisk would hang out with Asriel no matter what and while he was busy they would insult her. Penny and Jake were having trouble get to them today as the crowd was especially large today.

"Oh look its the Ambassador sticking with the prince to wipe his ass?!" One of the girls taunted, Asriel couldn't hear it as Frisk watched him, ignoring them for the most part.

"Oh I bet she does more than that… Little slut." The other girls agreed as they blocked her view.

"If it weren't for your stupid diplomatic immunity's you'd be a little blood stain on the ground!" The 'leader' of the fanclub said as Frisk sighs. Asriel was trying to push over as he saw that the 'leader' was at it again. He sighs as he pushes forwards but they keep trying to stop him.

"Frisk, hey everything alright?!" He calls out as Frisk sighs. One of the girls growl, but gets an idea as she turns around quickly to see Asriel making his way. She gets right in his path as Asriel walks within range of her she places her plan into action.

'I know that look in her eyes! Now time to destroy her 'love' for the prince! The leader will not be happy, but when I tell her why she will forgive me.' She smirks as the second Asriel tries to push past she grabs his face and yanks his face to hers. Frisk's eyes widen as she has a clear view. Everyone stops and back away as Asriel stares into her eyes as he feels fury build into him, but his body was feeling the enjoyment. "Did you like that Prin-" a loud smack was heard as Asriel regains his composure, he had a glare on his face as he smacked her.

"Get out… ALL OF YOU!" He yells as they back away in fear. The crowd disperses as Asriel looks for Frisk. "Frisk! Where are you!" 'This is not good… that bitch! I refuse to count that as my 'first' kiss. That was an attack on her!' He growls as Penny runs up to him finally able to talk to him.

"W-What happened? I heard a smack then you yelled! I can't even find Frisk now!" She asked as Asriel growls.

"one of the 'Fans' Forced a kiss from me in front of Frisk! We need to find her I am worried she is in trouble." He says as Penny nods.

"Like wise, I will check the lower levels since I have access to all the class rooms. Can you check the roof and the upper floors?" He nods as they split up, Jake had listened as he narrowed his eyes. He stands up and walks off as he goes to do his own thing.

'Hurt my friend… you will regret it.' Jake thinks to himself as he walks off to a group of males.

Asriel scours the upper floors to no luck as he rushes up towards the roof of the school, an area only select people can go, and the door was wide open. Asriel began to feel worry as he rushes outside to see Frisk at the furthest point. She was walking up to the ledge as she looks down past the railing.

"FRISK!" He yells out as she turns to face him, her eyes dead as she looks back to the ground as she begins to climbs the railing. His eyes widen as he rushes towards her.

"Goodbye..." She lets herself fall off the railing as Asriel's heart sinks.

"FRISK!" He screams as he makes it to the railing, what he saw next turned his stomach. She lied motionless on the ground, her body twisted and broken, blood had started to pool around her body, her neck had snapped on the way down as she had hit the side of the building at a window.

'No… NO NO!' He leans too far forwards as he loses his balance. The ground became ever closer before…

Asriel gasps as he looks around, he finds himself in a dark void.

"W-What?" He says as his voice echos. He looks around to see a floating menu. "N-No way… its the reset menu! I thought Frisk had this?!" He says as he looks at the only option, LOAD.

'Why? Why is this happening? Frisk…' He starts to sit down and cry as the image was still clear in his mind, he had no idea how long he spent here as he sat for what it seemed hours. He felt empty, dead inside for the first time in over three years. "I just..." His heart twists and aches as he looks at the load button. He soon sees what appears to be an image of Frisk from the first year they were on the surface, she was lively, happy, cheery, and most important of all. She was as he remembered. It was during the second year that he noticed the change in her, she started to let her self go, first it was just she didn't want to try and do anything anymore. Then, she started to not care about her food intake as she started to loose weight ever so slowly. Seeing her drop under seventy pounds made him sick, Alphys said she needed to regain weight as she had become extremely unhealthily underweight.

"What do I got to lose?" He asks himself as he stands up and presses the load option, the world starts to reform as he sees the sky, he finds himself back on the rooftop as he sees Frisk move towards the railing. 'Frisk!' He says mentally as he rushes towards her, She turns as Asriel is right upon her as he grabs her and pulls her away from the ledge, she tries to fight it as he hugs onto her. He feels pain in his chest as he falls to the floor hugging her.

"Let me go Asriel!" She screams as she suddenly hears sobs, she stops struggling as she looks at him.

"please… don't do this… not again!" He says as his eyes were filled with tears and a pained look… she noticed he had seen something that she had seen before… that look was the one of seeing someone you care about dying. He hugs onto her tighter as he holds her. She sits there in his arms as he holds her.

'Asriel… I cannot do this… you can go be with that girl… I am… going to let you be fre-' she noticed he had fallen asleep as she sighs. 'I should just die...' She says as a voice echos in her mind.

"And what of Asriel? What would become of him? He cares about you… or he would have never reset to save you." The voice says as Frisk sighs.

'Hello Leina, here to bother me again...' She replies as 'Leina' sighs.

"Please Frisk, you need to stop this! Your harming everyone around you..."Leina pleads as She sighs.

'whatever…' She says as she sits there with Asriel leaning against her.

"Frisk please! Do you not see the damage? What would you do if Asriel tried to kill himself?!" Leina replies sternly, Frisk stared at the ground and let it sink in for a moment.

Frisk froze as the thought came to her mind if Asriel was the one to try and drop off the school roof. A tear falls down her face at the thought as she looks down.

'I'd reset, just for him. He deserves to live.' She replies as the voice calls back.

"Do you think he would not do the same? I remember him saying this when you saved him, that no matter what he would be there to protect you, because you did something so dangerous and generous for him, when he didn't deserve it. He meant it you know, he cares for you deeply..." They say to hope she realizes what they mean.

'I… You shouldn't make stuff up Leina." She says as sobbing echos in her head.

"I AM NOT MAKING IT UP! YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH WHEN I FIRST APPEARED THE YEAR YOU LEFT THE UNDERGROUND! NOW THAT I TRY TO HELP YOU, YOU TREAT ME LIKE AN ENEMY!" Leina screams as Frisk stares at the ground.

/Flasback/

Frisk was sleeping nicely in the room she and Asriel was sharing for the time being, Toriel had just announced she was getting them their own room, that it was only right for teenage boys and girls to be separated.

She was having a wonderful dream where she was walking along a grassy pathway, Asriel standing next to her with a large smile a ring on her hand. She notices something off in the distance, a small light. She moves away from Asriel to investigate, however the world changes to a black abyss as she does. She jumps in fear as she looks around, the light moves closer to her as it speaks.

"Frisk, it is an honor to meet you. I am Leina, Your Guardian." It says formally as Frisk tilts her head.

"My Guardian? That, uh sounds boring." She says upfront as the Light gave off a feeling of confusion.

"Boring? Work is not meant to be fun." Leina replies strict and militant like.

"You should lighten up." Frisk says chuckling as Leina gives another confused feeling, however a chuckle escapes them.

"I must not laugh! This is-" Frisk places her hand up to the light as she smiles.

"Why not become my Friend instead, That way if either one of us needs help, the other is there. That way its a mutual victory for us both!" She says as Leina looks at Frisk, the light changes until it changes to a young woman with dark blue hair, standing at five foot four. Her Ocean eyes look at Frisk confused still, however the hand in front of her is stuck out as she reaches out and takes it in her own.

"Uh, okay? I really don't know how to be 'Friends' would you teach me then? If this is what you want I will do it." She says as Frisk Chuckles again.

"Don't worry! It's real easy, in fact the only time I expect you to worry, is when I am in trouble okay?!" Frisk says strictly as Leina gives a soft smile.

/Present/

Frisk remembered that day clear as she mentally sighs, she looks to her hand.

'Maybe… I over rea-' Frisk was pulled out of her thoughts suddenly as a voice yells out.

"Frisk!" Penny's voice shot out as she charges with Toriel behind her moving with worry as they rush up to Frisk. Her neck and back were soaked with Asriel's tears as he held onto her, Toriel sighs as they are okay as she looks to Frisk.

"Frisk, what happened?! Why are you and Asriel on the roof?" She asks as Penny glares at Frisk.

"Your so selfish Frisk!" She says as Toriel jumps and just watches. "You think that was the solution?! What about Toriel?! Sans?! Damn it! What about me? What about Jake? What about ALL of your friends?! HELL WHAT ABOUT ASRIEL?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU DIED?!" She screams out as tears flow from her face, Frisk watches with a ping of pain in her chest. Toriel connects the dots as she gives a worried look at Frisk, unable to decide what to do as, Penny falls to her knees as she reaches out and grabs Frisk's hand. She curls it in her own as she cries.

"Frisk, Please! Never do that again… damn it… me and Jake have been so worried, but damn Asriel, when ever I have talked to him, he breaks down nearly each time with worry for you. He cares damn it, we all do." Penny says with tears flowing, she pulls the curled hand to her head as she holds it tightly. "I don't want to bury my best friend, please don't do it again! Please!" She begs, Frisk felt a pain in her chest she hasn't felt in a long time.

The pain of betraying those who love you, a tear falls down her face as she nods.

"I promise, sorry for worrying you Pen. I guess, I got lost somewhere on the road up to this day." She says as Toriel helps pull Frisk out of Asriel's grip and carries her down, while Penny carries Asriel down.

Toriel called an emergency leave, along side Penny's and Jake's leave to be with Frisk and Asriel. The Principle allows it as he sees them off with a frown. Another teacher with green hair next to him looks to him.

"Things are changing, I can only hope they are ready." The Principle says as the man in green nods.

"Yes, Frisk and Asriel are definitely causing a change. I can only hope they stand the wrongs of History in order to not repeat any mistakes humans or monsters have done." The Green haired man says as he takes a drink out of his thermos, the Principle had white hair and a cane in his hand as he nods.

"Yes. We can only hope." He says as he turns and takes his leave, walking back into the school.

/With Frisk/

Jake was staring at Frisk with an upset glare as Penny watches her worriedly, They were on both sides of Frisk as Toriel drove to their home. Asriel was out in the front seat still, and Toriel couldn't identify what could have caused him to be out cold. His breathing was normal and everything seemed fine, but it was like he was in some sort of shock induced coma. Frisk looks to Jake as she turns back to the floor.

"I still don't understand how you could do that to him." He says as Frisk stares to the floor. "You know I remember the day we all met, and you were so willing to stand up for him, willing to do anything for him." He says looking at her with disappointment. Frisk tightens her fists against her knees, she could feel how weak she was now, it was becoming painful to realize what she had been doing by giving up. It was the first time she ever gave up on trying since she fell into the Underground.

/Flashback/

Frisk was walking down the hall with Asriel as they got out of their first class ever in school. They began to move towards the direction of their next class as someone calls out from behind them. Frisk stops and turns to see the man in question.

"Hey! Why don't you stop right there… I think you got something I want." The voice says with a cocky tune as Frisk's eye brow raises. The man was five foot five, he had maroon red hair that was short, and a pair of sapphire eyes as he smirks.

"What would we have that you want?" She asks trying to be nice as he walks up and grips her arm, he had several buddies behind him as he looks her in the eyes.

"You, however your stuck with this stupid fucking goat." He says with his smirk growing larger, her eyes widen as suddenly Asriel grips his hand as the young man's hand lets go of Frisk, her eyes narrows as Asriel glares at him, but before he could do anything a loud smack could be heard.

"You made two mistakes, one you called Asriel a stupid goat. Two? You thought I was some sort of prize!" She says as she grabs him by the shirt before she shows her apparent strength by lifting him as he grabs her hands with wide eyes. "If you ever decide to act like you got authority over me or Asriel, I will show you what you really don't want!" She says as a chuckle comes from her right as she looks to the side. A girl with black hair and bright Magenta eyes was staring at the scene before her, she was five foot three as she smiles.

"Wow, I have never seen someone lift up my brother like that! You have a pair… well you definitely do have a decent chest for someone who is fifteen… what's your secret?" Frisk blushes at the sudden flirting towards her as Asriel's eye twitches, the woman laughs as her smile grows. "Joking! My name is Penny Sulavan, that there is my twin brother Jake Sulavan. Sorry hes such a hard-ass, he forgot his manners." She says as she sticks her hand out.

"Frisk, and this is my step-brother Asriel Dreemurr. I chose not to take their last name, didn't feel right." Frisk says as she drops Jake to the ground as he gives a yelp of pain, Asriel chuckles as Frisk shakes Penny's hand. "Nice to meet you." She says as Penny just continues to smile brightly. "Like wise! I think we will get along just fine, isn't that right? Jake." She says as she turns to her brother who shows an expression of panic.

/Present/

"What happened to the Frisk we knew was so strong who could pick me up?!" He growls as Penny looks at Jake with worry as he sighs. "Sorry, for that. Frisk, it was you and Asriel that taught me so much of what I was doing wrong. I mean you put your self in Asriel's life because you wanted to help him. You can't leave now, not after all you have done for him and everyone else." He says as he turns to the car window to his left, Frisk continues to stare at the car floor as she felt the pain stay in her heart.

'It's all my fault… I let this happen. Everyone is worried now and scared for me, because of what I did.' She tries to tighten her hands more as she finds no more strength in her hands. Looking at her bony hands as she starts to cry some, Penny looks worried as she does.

'Why? Why is it that when ever I try something everyone else suffers! I...' She tries to find the words as Leina's voice echos in her mind.

"Shut up. Just shut up Frisk, I am tired of this self pity you keep holding onto." Leina says angrily as Frisk's eyes widen. It was the first time she ever heard Leina angry. "I am so scared right now, it is not even funny. I am absolutely terrified for you, and it makes me so angry! That you have become this thing that I don't even remember as my friend! The Frisk I became friends with… was so strong, brave, intelligent, and she would never give up!" Leina begins to cry in her mind.

'Leina, I...' She tries to find the words as she mentally sighs. 'I am so, so very sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I… I never wanted to hurt anyone, I got lost in my own displeasure of how things were for me and Asriel, that I got lost. Now, I have lost everything cause of that. I wonder what would happen if I had done things differently.' Frisk replies as Leina stops crying suddenly, Frisk feels Leina looking at her in a way.

"If you want to start over, just re-" Leina stops as Frisk mentally shakes her head.

'I refuse to reset, unless I absolutely have to, I won't reset for my own selfish reason. Not anymore. I did that for Asriel and I can't do it again.' Frisk replies as she mentally smiles gently. 'I lost, simple as that. Game over for my dreams. I just need to move forwards and live so everyone can stop worrying. Once I am out away from everyone then I can let it all end.' She says as Leina's eyes widen.

"Please, you still have a chance! Don't do this, damn it please! I am begging you Frisk, me! A spirit without a body is begging you."Frisk sighs as she smiles more.

'I forgot, if I die you do to… I don't deserve to have you. It's wrong that I kill us both for my own reasons.' She replies as Leina feels a ping of pain of her own.

"That is not why! I don't want you to die, because your my only friend! I don't want to lose you!"Leina replies, No reply comes as Leina sighs. In the Car Frisk closes her eyes as she lets her self drift asleep.

/Asriel's dreamscape/

Asriel stares at the body of Frisk as he sits next to it, he has been staring at this body ever since he fell unconscious in the real world. The world was nothing but a black void

"Frisk, please… wake up." He says for the hundredth time as he hopes the body will wake up and ask him why hes crying, his tears fall down as a voice calls to him.

"Asriel…" The voice says as he looks up, he sees a light that slowly takes form into a young woman with dark blue hair. "Please… you got to wake up, Frisk is going to need your help." She says as he looks at her with dead eyes.

"Wake...up?" He asks confused as he tilts his head. "Who...are you?" he asks as the woman sighs.

"My name is Leina, I guess… you could consider me a guardian spirit, that comes when your in a state like this." She says lying to make him not learn where she really came from for now.

"Leina?" He says as she nods.

"Listen, Frisk… is hurting deep down. I know your hurt by her actions and it is tearing you apart, however you can't give up. You learned from her that giving up is never the answer." She says as he nods.

"Yeah, she was really strong and brave. She knew what it meant to be courageous and determined. She knew what it meant to kind." He says as he looks down with a gentle smile.

"And she can be all that again. Listen, she plans to leave everyone's lives so once she is on her own she can take her life." Leina says as Asriel's eyes widen. "But you can stop that, she feels like she lost everything and just wants it to end. Prove to her that she has yet to lose, and that there is still a chance for her to be happy." She says with a gentle smile as she reaches out and lifts Asriel's face to look at her. "It is not my place say, however when my best friend is planning on dying just because she gives up, I cannot standby and let it happen. Frisk, deep down loves you. And she wanted to be with you more than anything. However the state she is in right now, she will disbelieve any attempts to admit your feelings and she will take it as taking pity on her, that will not help anything. Asriel, I can feel your love for her flowing through you… show her what she is to you. I must go now, so please wake up." She says as she stands her body slowly breaking apart and vanishing as she smiles before her body is entirely gone.

"She… loves me?" He says in a monotone voice as some light returns to his eyes. "She loves me. And now I have to show her what she means to me… Leina, just who are you?" He asks himself as he stands his voice now full emotion, Frisk's body slowly vanishes as hes left in a black void. He smiles as he looks around. "I think I will use another hour here then, before I wake up… however I do that. I want to think of what I can do to show Frisk what she means to me." He says as he takes a seat and stares to the black void of his mind, a large smile on his face as he starts to grin. "I haven't lost yet Frisk! And Neither have you! I refuse to let you lose, Not this time. I'd rather lose than have you lose. So hold on and wait for me!" He yells out into the void as the void above him starts to twinkle with small lights like stars.

/real World/

Penny watches Frisk sleep while they drive, she turns to Toriel with worry.

"So, what will happen to them now? I mean, after her attempt at suicide like that?" She asks as Toriel sighs.

"I… Think me and Asgore will look into having someone watch over her, Let us face the facts that you and I both know Penny, they love each other. So Asriel is not going to leave her side anytime soon now, it will be like starting all over when we left the Underground. In fact, I wish I had never forced them apart from their joined room. I learned late last year that Asriel was having nightmares of Frisk leaving him. It… took him a lot of courage to admit that, and the thing was it started when I forced them into their own rooms. So I wouldn't be surprised if Asriel went against everything or alerted me that hes moving into her room to watch over her." She says as Penny sighs.

"You were just trying your best Toriel, sometimes parents make tough decisions that don't always work out. I know that quite well from my parents." She says as Toriel smiles.

"Thank you child, It is nice to see that you look at it that way. It is hard being the mother for these two, when you fear so much. Unfortunately I don't believe me and Asgore have many years left now that Asriel is Eighteen, it is the unfortunate side effect of being a Monster. So, if that day does come when I cannot help them anymore, will you be there for them like you always have?" She asks as Penny feels her worry as she nods, Jake smiles as he looks at Toriel.

"We'd be glad to Ma'am. They need us, just like all their friends need them. I mean, I have no idea where we would all be without them." He says as Toriel slows the car down, as she turns into the driveway of the home.

"Thank you, we are here now so lets get these two inside." She says as Penny frowns.

'Toriel… is going to die soon? Damn… Monsters really have a tough life… dying while the child is young still.' Penny sighs as she helps Frisk out, while Jake climbs out and assists Asriel out of the car. They are carried in as Toriel tells them to place them in Frisk's room for now. Penny and Jake carry them up the stairs as they head to Frisk's room before placing them both on the bed next to each other, Penny sighs as she leaves the room as Jake stares for a moment.

'Stay strong Asriel… show her what you keep locked away in your heart. Show her your love and make her happy… I miss the times she would berate me with Penny, I miss the smile of the person who I nearly fell in love with, she deserves someone who would unconditionally love her, and prove to her that life is worth living. None of us want to bury our friend, and you don't want to bury her ever.' He gently smiles as he takes his leave. "You got this Asriel. You have to." He says as he looks to the ground and leaves the room.

It was another hour and half before Asriel stirred awake. He slowly sits up as he rubs his head and horns before looking next to him. Frisk was out cold, and he sighs in relief. He reaches over and rubs her head as he moves his hand to hers and holds it gently.

"I won't let you down again…" He says as he looks at her his mind plays the thoughts he had in his short shock induced coma. "No matter what, I promise to to do better by you Frisk. I-" He sighs as he frowns. "I never knew that I played such a big part in your decent. I am sorry I let this happen." He says as he looks at her face. "I let mother's actions stop me from trying to watch out for you more than I should have. The moment I saw the signs of your will and determination failing you, I should have told everyone to leave me alone and let me do what I needed to. Because, If I did, then maybe our lives would be better! I let you fall to this because I was afraid. I was always afraid of what you would think, and now I realize, I can not let that happen. I remember the day I started to feeling something for you, it was two years ago, You had just stood up for me the third time that week from the other students who were against monsters. You took a hit meant for me, and I lost control and broke that kid's arm. I realize I snapped because I loved you… not because I was upset for him harming my sister, but the person I cared for most." He stands and moves to the other side of the bed as he rests his head against her hand.

"I never… wanted to neglect you… EVER!" He says angrily towards himself. "I just wanted you to be happy, and how could I? The worthless cry baby Prince of Monsters, I could do nothing… or so I thought." Tightening gently against her hand he looks up, tears staining his fur as he looks at her. "I don't ever want to lose you! So starting today, I will always watch over you, even if it costs me my life." He says as a knock comes on the door, it opens to reveal Penny, as she carries a tray of food.

"At least one of you are awake. How are you feeling Asriel?" He looks down as he sighs, he stands up and sits on the edge of the bed.

"Honestly? Like shit. You… got a moment to talk?" He asks as Penny nods, she places the food down before closing the door.

"Whats up Asriel? I have noticed as of late you tend to talk to me more than Jake, you worried about something?" He nods as she sits down next to as he sighs.

"Frisk… told you about what happened in the underground about the… uh..." Penny looks at him with a serious expression.

"About the 'Resets'? Yeah she told me, at first I thought it was silly, but she seemed so serious about it and Frisk never lies. Anyways what about it." He looks to the ground as he clenches his fist.

"Before, I am to guess you found us. Frisk did managed to die. I was too slow and she dropped off the school." His arms move as his hands grab his upper arms. His eyes widen before narrowing as tears begin to fall. "I saw her lifeless corpse, I got so scared and worried that I lost my balance and before I knew what happened..." He looks up and turns to Frisk. "...I was in the same position as Frisk, able to reset the world yet it didn't offer me the chance to reset to the start. Just Load, so I took it and it brought me back to when she was about to-" He stops as he starts to sob, the pain must have still been real fresh. Penny looks at him, and it was the first time she had ever seen him so hurt. Hes always been worried and cried a few times, but to see him ready to just break down entirely was something else.

"Hey, calm down. Frisk got worked up a few times when she told me of those times, and I thought about it then and gave her one reply that she needed to remember." Asriel looks at Penny, his eyes still pouring down tears as She gently smiles and places her hand on his shoulder. "We are here right now, Right? Everyone is here right?" He nods as she turns her head to Frisk, he follows her gaze as she smiles brighter. "And Frisk is here too, so stop worrying. As long as she is alive, treat it as it never happened. Because as far as the world knows, it never did otherwise she wouldn't be here." He looks back to Penny with wide eyes as he smiles and pulls her into a hug.

"Thank you, Thank you so much for being my friend right now Pen. Everything is so hard on me with Frisk the way she is now. I worry so much and when I noticed how Frisk was becoming, I got scared… really sacred Penny." He says as Penny nods, she envelopes him in a hug as she looks at Frisk.

"I know Asriel, your not the only one." She says as she looks to the food. "You best eat, Frisk may wake up soon. I already called our parents, Me and Jake will be staying here a few days. Mom really likes Frisk after that homemade cobbler she made. Too bad she doesn't know that you have your eye on Frisk." 'If she did, you two would be locked in a room together and forced to admit your feelings for each other. Though now? Frisk may reject anything said to her if she feels its pity.' Asriel nods as takes one of the two plates and slowly begins his meal. Penny stands up as she looks to Asriel. "Me and Jake are in the guest bedroom, He is resting right now, I will be helping Toriel." She says before she leaves the room.

Asriel watches Frisk as he gives a sigh, The hours go by as Asriel stays there and watches out the window and reading a few of the books on the bookshelf.

'Who knew Frisk was… right she loves me, no wonder shes into so many of these romance novels. It's- That is it!' He picks up one book in particular, it held a dark blue cover with a monster and a human on the cover. It was one of the newer books since the Monsters were freed. It was about a Monster who had fallen in love with a human who was afraid of monsters, yet the monster managed to convince them to to give them a chance and in the end they enjoyed themselves. There was quite a bit of conflict about it at first, but by the end of the book They got married. 'Cheesy idea, but I am going to steal a few ideas from this book .' He opens it up and finds the first date idea.

A groan could be heard as he places the book back and looks to Frisk, he sees her trying to sit up as he walks towards her.

"Howdy Frisk, how are you feeling?" He asks as she looks to him with a hurtful expression.

"Like shit, Asriel… I am sorry for what you seeing me nearl- No. For doing that, I know that the world reset back to when I was about to, and it made me hesitate for a moment. You… managed to use the SAVE?" He nods as he sits next to the bed, her plate of food cold, yet he hands it to her. She takes it and eats the cold food as it was better than nothing.

"Yeah..." He replies as he looks at her. 'Ask her! Do it NOW! Stop being scared damn it!' "…but never mind that now. Frisk, after that stunt. I would not be surprised if your going to be forced here till your better. So, I had a thought, would you like to accompany me to go get some food tomorrow? I want to make sure you get food in your system, because I am worried about you." He says as Frisk's eyes widen slightly.

"A-Asriel, you don't have to do-" He places a finger to her lips as he smiles.

"I do though, your my sister… and honestly I care for you a lot. So I want to make sure your healthy." He says as Frisk sigh.

"Y-Yeah..." She says with a sigh.'Though I want to be more… You already found your-' Asriel makes a loud noise as if he remembers something.

"I remembered something, and you know what? I want to ask and I want you to Answer truthfully." He says as Frisk nods. "Why did you react like that when that girl kissed me? Honestly I was more pissed she did than anything, in fact it made me sick. I want a girl to kiss me with love and passion, heck maybe even a little lust, but uh that is just a little thought I had." He says as Frisk sighs.

"I… thought you'd be moving on and leaving me." She says in a way to admit her feelings as a arm pulls her closer, she feels his heart beat through her chest as she blushes.

"I won't leave you behind. I have had too many bad dreams of doing that and I was so scared to see you die like that… it hurt me so much so please. Don't leave me either okay?" He says as Frisk nods.

"Okay, I won't Asriel. I promise." She says as it fills Asriel with a warmth.

"Alright, so I want to ask one more thing." He says as She tilts her head while in his arms. "How does Deliana's UnderCafe sound as a place to eat?" He asks as her face lights, He feels the heat starting to radiate from her as he chuckles. "I guess that is a yes?" He asks as she pulls back.

"D-Don't you think that is a b-bit too D-date like and r-romantic for us to go?" He shakes his head.

"I know you wanted to go, so consider this a treat. Though I wouldn't mind trying those 'potion' drinks If you would mind helping me drink it. I hear they are quite large and too much for one person." He says as he hints at the suggestion.

"I-I don't know, b-but that would be a nice place to go to." She replies as he smiles brightly.

"Sweet, I hope you got a nice outfit to wear for it, I want us to go all dressed up." He says as he stands up. "I will be back, I am gonna grab a comforter and a pillow from my room. I am gonna sleep in here tonight so you don't try anything okay? I worry for you so I want to watch over you." He says as he starts to walk out Frisk calls out to him.

"What about what mom said?! She said we are-" Asriel growls as he looks to her.

"Screw that! Your more important than some stupid rules!" He says as she sighs.

"Okay, I get it. Asriel… thank you." He smiles again as he nods.

"No, Thank you Frisk for saving me. We made it so far cause of you, so we can move further with my help. It's my turn to help you." He says as he leaves the room. He runs into Toriel as he walks out.

"Oh Asriel, How is Frisk?" She asks as he smiles.

"Awake, and I got… well a 'date' in disguise with her." He says as Toriel turns her head before narrowing her eyes.

"You better not lie to her-" He raises his hands.

"N-No way! I just, can't tell her that its a date or she might outright deny. Shes been through too much so I want to make it seem casual, while also dropping hints that I like her!" He replies hastily and quietly. Toriel smiles as she sighs.

"Alright Asriel, I am to guess your going to sleep in her room tonight?" She asks as he looks at her.

"Every night, till she kicks me out. Rejects me, or accepts me. If she accepts me I'm moving...into her bed." He says as Toriel smacks him on the head.

"Asriel Dreemurr!" She says angrily as he chuckles.

"I am Eighteen mom! I can get awa-" He noticed a down look as he sighs. "I understand, Mom you can't be afraid forever, or around forever. I know… the days are coming to say good bye, but please make them the best days with me and Frisk. Frisk especially, I don't want to see her cry when you pass." He says as Toriel nods.

"I know dear, Just take care of my little girl, I have watched you both grow up so wonderfully, make her the happiest will you?" She asks as Asriel nods.

"I will." He says as he walks to his room, he walks in and grabs his pillows and a comforter as he drags them back to Frisk's room. She was looking at the same book he was earlier as he smirks.

"What'cha lookin at Frisk?" He says as the book goes flying out of her hand, what he sees next is a rather interesting picture, it was him when he started the second year in the Swim team.

"A-Asriel!" She says as her face reddens. He walks up and picks the book up with the photo as he hands it back to her.

"I looked really good out there when I swam didn't I?" He says acting innocent. Frisk sighs as she nods.

"Y-Yeah." She looks the book with a blush as he smiles.

"If you want, I could look into getting back into swimming, though only if you agree to join up." He says as Frisk looks up to him with wide eyes.

"Me?! Asriel, y-your joking right?" He shakes his head as her mind runs. 'H-He wants me to join with him?! S-Should I accept? Or do I reject it...' She takes a deep breath and calms down. "Asriel I…" She is interrupted by a voice that yells in her head.

"SAY YES OR I SWEAR TO THE ALL MIGHTY THAT I WILL GIVE YOU DREAMS THAT MAKE YOUR NORMAL ONES LOOK LIKE SAINTS!"Frisk mentally gaped her maw at Leina's intrusion. She sighs as she looks to Asriel with a smile.

"...would love to join you. It sounds like a really, cool idea?" She says trying to make a pun as Asriel chuckles.

"Need to work on your puns again, However let us get some rest. We have a dinner to catch tomorrow and the idea already makes me hungry." He says as he looks out the window to see it was dark already. Frisk lies back down and turns to her side facing away from Asriel. She lies there before she calls out.

"You, can sleep on the bed if you want Asriel." She says as silence rang out. She turns slightly to see Asriel already passed out next to her bed curled up. "H-Hes already asleep?" She says as she inches closer and pokes him, his arm twitches as he curls up more. "H-He is..." He turns in his sleep some as his on his back, she was leaning over the bed as he was soon close to her face as she looks at his. 'M-Maybe just a peck? I want to know, how it feels to kiss him' She thinks as she gets a bit closer Asriel's head, she easily loses her balance some and slips entirely pressing down hard on his lips as she widens her eyes. She quickly backs up to the bed as Asriel gives a slight noise as if waking some.

"F-Frisk?" He asks as he opens his eyes slightly.

"Y-Yes?" She asks as he turns his head to the bed.

"I could have sworn… I just felt somone kiss me, There isn't a ghost in here is there? Nah that would be silly… unless you were the one, but we are siblings so..." he says with a tired yawn.

"I-I don't know Asriel… you might have just dreamt it to feel real." She replies as he smirks slightly.

"Huh, guess so. Still, I think I liked it. Though I doubt you'd really kiss a fool like me, anyways goodnight Frisk." He says as he closes his eyes again. 'Now I know you still love me… I just have to prove my love for you, that kiss was nice… goodnight Frisk.' He thinks as he gentle smiles and falls into a slumber.

Frisk lied there wide eyed as she screamed mentally.

'Your no fool! I would have loved to kiss you while your awake!'She screamed in her head as Leina gives a gentle laugh. 'However I lost that right...' she says as Leina gives a sigh of disappointment in Frisk's head.

The hours pass by as the day soon came, Frisk managed to finally get to sleep hours earlier only to have constant dreaming of the kiss she 'accidentally' had with Asriel. She wakes first for once as she looks over to Asriel. His blanket was off and he was in his boxers, common thing to see him in the early hours of the morning. She looks him over as she sees a damp spot on his boxers, at first she thought he had an 'accident' however as she wakes up a scent flows around as her face reddens.

'D-did he have one of those dreams? I-I wonder if he dreamed about me…' She thinks as she hears him groan as he begins to slowly sit up she quickly lies back down so Asriel does not see she was staring at him. He looks around before he looks down and growls.

"Really?! In FRISK'S ROOM none the less?! Oh gosh I am so glad she's still asleep… I need to change boxers now."He says as he gets up and opens the door, before leaving the room. He comes back a moment later as he reaches over and gives Frisk a gentle shake. "Wake up Frisk, best to get ready." He says as he walks out of the room again. She looks to the clock and realizes it was near noon.

'W-We slept till eleven forty?!' She sighs as she climbs out the bed, she gives a small smile. 'Why is Asriel doing this suddenly though… if hes pitying me I will never forgive him! I don't want pity, I want love.' She walks to her closet as she sees her single dress, one Penny gave her so she could dress nice for Asriel, she has grown a bit since then so she hopes it still fits. She takes the dress as she closes to her drawer and grabs a bra and panties before heading to the bathroom.

Asriel was getting out of the Downstairs bathroom a few minutes later as he runs into Penny staring at him. She gives him a blank expression before she smiles brightly and gives Asriel a gentle hug.

"Your finally making a move, good. Perhaps Frisk will see that you care from this, or at least get the idea that this is for real and she changes her act." She says as Asriel nods.

"I hope so too, I want my Frisk back. The strong and beautiful woman who could throw Jake around if he pissed her off." He says as a cough comes from around the corner.

"I am right here, don't treat me as if I am not here." Jake says as he looks to Asriel with an annoyed look. Asriel chuckles as he smiles.

"I need to go check on Frisk." He says as he starts up the stairs before he stops. "Jake can I actually trust you to do something for me that is important." Jake's eye twitches for a moment as he looks to Asriel, he stares for a moment before he realizes that this is on a whole different level of trust. He was about to have him do something that he didn't let anyone else do.

"Sure what?" He asks as suddenly he catches a pair of keys that Asriel throws at him.

"Start my car. It's in the Garage. Not even Frisk has seen this car yet and I want it ready. I have driven it when she wasn't around cause I wanted to surprise her with it for our first date." He says as he walks up stairs. Jake nods as he walks off and exits the building.

Asriel walks up stairs as he hears the shower going.

"Frisk? Everything Alright?" He calls out.

"Yes Asriel, everything is okay. Just finishing up now." Frisk's voice calls out as he smiles brightly.

"Okay, I will be down stairs then." He asks as the shower stops.

"Yeah, I will be out in a minute." She calls back as he walks away, He sees Jake walk in with wide eyes. He snickers as he smirks towards Jake. "So what did you think?"

"I think I hate you." He says as he looks to Asriel. Whom gives a laugh as he returns to a smile.

"Haha, when you save up for two years from large allowances, because your father works for the government you can afford something like that." He says as a pair of footsteps comes from the stairwell. Asriel turns to see Frisk walking down in a blue dress with a large blush on her face.

"H-How do I look? I have never worn a dress before." She asks as Penny's eyes widen and brighten.

"OH MY GOSH YOUR WEARING THE DRESS I GAVE YOU FOR-" Jake slaps his have over Penny's mouth as he sighs.

"Sorry about that, anyways you two best go if you want to beat the lunch hour traffic." He says as Asriel nods.

"Come on Frisk." He says as he leads the way out, Frisk follows him as he goes to the garage. She hears an unfamiliar engine, it sounded really clean and powerful. She turns into the garage as her eyes widen. There before her was a gentle blue car with purple stripes. The model easily was recognized as it was one she heard Asriel wanting before. It was a Zenvo TS1 GT, and her eyes stare in surprise.

"A-Asriel! W-When did you get this?!" She asks as he chuckles.

"A little over six months ago?" Her eyes widen as she stares in awe. "I decided to have it painted the colors of the shirt you fell down into the Underground with, It was fitting for my first Car." He says as she tilts her head.

'H-How was it fitting for it to be on your first car?!' She questions not noticing the signs as Asriel opens the passenger side door, letting her take a seat as he closes it and walks around to the driver side. They buckle in before Asriel begins to take off carefully before they are soon on the road and on their way as Penny and Jake wave to them.

The drive was mostly in silence as Frisk looked around, there were all little details she could tell were from everyone else. There was a Mettaton themed bobble head that sat on the passenger side, she gives a light chuckle as she smiles at that. There were a few music CDs from Alphys as she sighs, most of them were Anime soundtracks. A pair of pillows with Asgore and Toriel's names stitched behind her in small compartments for them. A little ornament hanging from the rear view mirror from Undyne, a small cyan spear. The white interior, felt welcoming to her as she sighs quietly, it was not long before they arrived at large restaurant with no windows. The words 'Deliana's UnderCafe' on it as they find a spot to park.

'We are actually here… I figured Frisk would ask to take her home because she is unsure about all this.' Asriel thought as he finally parks, he gets out and quickly helps Frisk out of her seat with a smile as they start walking towards the building, he looks back and presses a button on his car remote to lock it, it gives a low beep and flashes its lights once. They walk up as Frisk feels her chest flutter about.

'I-Its like that dream I had before I started to give up trying… A-Asriel took me to a nice place for a dinner...' Frisk thought as they go inside. A bunny monster was at the welcoming counter as Asriel gets them their seats. Frisk looks around and stares in awe.

The place was dark inside, after letting her eyes adjust some. She could see why, the ceiling was covered in glow rocks from the Underground. It gave it a gentle shine that calmed her down, as she felt relaxed. Walking in she was feeling worried and scared about everything, but this small piece of the Underground on the surface made her smile brightly as Asriel took her hand and pulled her out of her thoughts.

"You alright? We got our seats." Frisk smiles as she nods.

"Yeah, just enjoying the feeling of this place, it reminds me of the Underground." She says as Asriel smiles at her and nods. He leads her to their seats as he takes a seat next to her. She looks to Asriel as she sighs. "Thank you, I guess I really did need to get out… it feels nice to feel… at home." She says as Asriel chuckles.

"You did spend so long in the Underground trying to save me. So I can see why the Underground feels like home some." He says as a whimsun in a waiter's like outfit came by and dropped off two menus.

Frisk looks through her menu as she smiles, the first thing she saw that caught her eye was a menu item called 'Ruin's Fall' It was a Risotto, with a burger and a slice of butterscotch cinnamon pie. She looks to Asriel as she smiles some.

"You… don't mind if I go a little nuts to get a few menu items do you?" Asriel shakes his head as he smiles.

"Go ahead, eat to your soul's desire. I will get a few things as well, what shall we start off with?" He asks as Frisk points to Ruin's fall on his menu. "Alright, and to drink?" He asks as she hestitantly points to a drink called 'Twin soul potion' it was on the 'lover's menu' section as Asriel chuckles. "I Did say we should try one did I? Well why not." He says as he motions for a waiter to take their order.

"Hello, are you ready to order?" Asriel nods as he places his menu down.

"Yes, we would like a 'Twin soul potion'. A pair of orders of Ruin's fall. We would like to hold onto the menus in case we want to order more as well." He says as the whimsun waiter nods.

"Alright sir, it will be out in a moment. Would you like some Garlic bread with seasoned tomato dipping sauce in the mean time?" The whimsun asks as Asriel looks to Frisk.

"Y-Yes please." She says as the whimsun nods and flies off. Frisk looks around as she scoots a bit closer to Asriel, feeling a bit overwhelmed because she feels a few people staring at her for once.

"Well it looks like the Ambassador is recognized well here." Asriel says with a chuckle as Frisk frowns and looks to the ground.

"I don't know why, I have never been here before." She says as Asriel chuckles.

'It could be that word got out that you likely tried to commit suicide thanks to one of those girls from school… Henia may look like a large city, yet everyone knows each other well and gossip spreads quickly…' He mentally sighs as he pats her head.

"Anyways calm down our food won't be long. So want to talk about what caused you to become the way you are now?" He asks as Frisk sighs, she leans against the table as she stares at the table.

"Not really..." She says as Asriel frowns.

"Will you for me then? I want to know how I can help." He says as Frisk mentally chuckles.

'If only you knew… that your helping much more right now than you have ever… thinking about it like that is wrong, hes done so much for me.' She smiles as she gives a surrendering sigh. "Alright, I guess I could spill a bit." She replies as she gives a long tired sigh. "It, began when we started school last year. Monsters were finally accepted you know? I..." She sighs as she looks to the ground. "I am going to be honest, it started way before that. When I was still a kid before the Underground I was treated unfairly, The humans I lived with in my town were… cruel. They mistreated me cause of something my mother did." She says as Asriel's eyes lock on to her, She was actually talking about her past.

"It got pretty out of hand before I left, I was starting to take after my mother much more from her younger years what I heard, some of the males of the town had loved my mother, but she denied their advances… so seeing I was becoming just like her in looks, they started to make moves on me. First they tried to be nice, but I knew it was a rouse." She says as Asriel begins to growl angrily in his mind, his right hand clenching tightly as his dulled claws draw blood.

"Then they started to try to take what they wanted by force, but it failed thank fully. Something attacked them and I ran away right then, and thus I ran towards mount Ebott, you know the events of what happened there so after that I felt happy… till the humans accepted you all… then I was being treated as an outcast again by the humans, because I was not going to ever be accepted by them for being closer to you all than them. The girls hated me for being so close to their 'Prince'" She says as Asriel gives a low growl that snaps Frisk out of her thoughts. She looks to him as he stares at the table.

"Fools… all of them are fools to do that to you!" He says in a quiet yet angry tone. She saw his eyes as she felt a familiar emotion coming from him. His anger. She remember it from the one time Asriel was angry while in the underground as 'Hyperdeath Asriel' She felt scared for a moment as he turns to her and wraps her into a hug, surprising her. "Never… let them pull you down, fuck every last one of them if they are going to disrespect my family, the ones I care about then they can forget getting on my good side. I promise Frisk that I won't let anything like that happen ever again. You hear me? Never again." He says holding onto her as she smiles gently.

'His heart beat is so strong… okay Asriel, Thank you for trying so hard to repair this damage though I doubt you will fix me entirely.' She nods as she pulls back. "Thank you Asriel." She says as he chuckles and breaks the hug. They turn back to the table as their waiter soon arrives with their meals and drink. The drink held a white half and a red half as the white half was on the upper upside down heart shaped portion of glass, while the lower half was red with the upright heart shape part of the glass, it was rather large too as it sat in a section of the table that opened up for it to sit in next to them. Frisk blushes as she realizes that she is about to drink a 'lover's' drink with Asriel.

"This looks great, shall we eat first Frisk?" He asks as she decides to agree, to put the drink on hold,. The colors slowly blending together in the middle of their drink turning to pink. The Whimsun comes back a moment later with an apology.

"I just realize we never got your Garlic bread out to you, I am so sorry. Things have been busy I will get it right out for you now." They say as they realize they have yet to touch their drink. "Oh are you two waiting for the drink to fully mix?" They ask as Frisk tilts her head.

"Fully mix?" She asks as the Whimsun nods.

"Yes, that one is special because if it fully mixes then its considered our strongest of the three potions. We call it the 'fused' soul potion as its a hidden menu item." They say as Frisk's eyes widen, she turns as she notices its half-way changed to fully pink as she groans in her head. "Well in any case I will get your garlic bread. Just a moment." They say as Frisk groans.

"S-Should we start drinking it now?" She asks slightly afraid how 'strong' this drink is mixed up. Asriel shakes his head as he smirks.

"Come on you used to face challenges head on, why not do the same with the drink, I think its a wonderful idea to wait for it to mix then drink it." He replies as Frisk stares at him wide eyed.

'A-Asriel… y-you've changed… Did I influence you that much?' "A-Alright." She says as she goes to eating her meal, the Whimsun brings the garlic bread and dipping sauce as they soon finish their meals Asriel turns to her with a smirk.

"So now that we have eaten I am quite thirsty. Shall we have at it?" Frisk nods as she brings her lips to the straw closest to her as Asriel soon on the other, she looks at him in the eyes as her face heats up, he begins to take a drink as She joins in, the flavor sparks something in her chest as she looks back to Asriel, his eyes inviting her to keep staring as they get lost in them, and before they know what happened the sound of the drink empty as their straws also stop bringing the hypnotic drink to them. Frisk slowly moves from the straw looking Asriel in the eyes.

"W-Wow..." She says as she is unable to unlock from his eyes. Asriel stares into her eyes as he nods.

"Wow indeed, you two actually managed to finish the drink, most people get sorta wore out of it by the time they get half." A voice says as they snap out of daze and turn to see the bunny from the front next to them. "Hello there dears, how are you two? I heard someone actually took the task of trying the Fusion soul potion so I came to check up on you two, and what do I find? An empty glass and a pair of doves who are star stricken into each others' eyes. So how did you enjoy the drink?" She asks as Asriel's face lights up red.

"I-It was good… I am to guess your Deliana?" The bunny nods as she smiles.

"Yep, and for being the first pair to finish that I want to congratulate you two, and would like you two to sit a bit closer so I can take your picture and put you up on our wall of memories. Every time something unexpected and mystical in nature happens I like to leave a memory for everyone to see, and for the Ambassador and Prince of monsters to both finish the hardest drink here because of its nature I figured this is worth remembering." She says as they both blush at being recognized. Asriel coughs as he pulls Frisk a bit closer. She looks at him with confusion as he smiles.

"Sure, as long as you give us a copy to take home then." He requests as Frisk's face lights up even brighter.

'A-Asriel?' She thinks as Deliana cheers.

"Alright deal, also consider this visit here free of charge as well as the reward. If you want anymore food let my waiters know and they will bring it to you at no additional charge." She says as she pulls out a camera with a smile. "Say 'Cafe!'" She says as they smile.

"Cafe!" They say in unison with red faces as Deliana snaps a photo.

"Feel free to come back anytime, I will have this developed before you go, so feel free to grab another bite to eat." She says as she rushes off. Frisk looks to Asriel with a bit of worry.

"A-Are you sure that was a good idea? W-What if someone gets the wrong idea?" She asks as Asriel smiles, Frisk realizes how close she was to Asriel her face lights up even more. 'I am so close to him… W-Why?! Why do I still feel like this even when I want to give up trying?' She stares at him a bit more as he looks to her and smiles.

"Yeah, I don't care what people think. If they want to think that we are a thing so what, its our life to choose right? If something like that happens then so be it, if not then oh well. All that matters is you right now, you need every bit of support I should have gave you originally. I have been a horrible brother…" He starts off, 'and a horrible person to shove the person he loves aside.' "… and I want to make it up to you." He says as Frisk stares at him.

"A-Asriel I don't deserve this. Please stop trying to make it seem like this is someho-" Asriel turns to her with a hurt expression.

"It is my fault, I didn't stand by your side when you needed me the most Frisk, the second I started to get fangirls I should have forced them away and watched over you, but what did I do? I let it get to my head that your a big girl who was able to take care of her self… I let my self think that your so strong, that you didn't need anyone to watch you. Because just cause someone is strong it don't mean they don't hurt, cry, or even get depressed like others… it just means they have the will to push past all their issues and face their problems head on. I didn't, I wasn't strong enough to do that for you." He says as Frisk stares at him in the eyes a tear falls down his face as he looks at her.

"Asriel, I..." He leans forwards as he rests his head against hers as slight sobs come from him.

"I was a horrible person even after you saved me! Frisk this is not the person I wanted to be, so I decided I will be strong for you now, and carry all your issues that this world gives, and protect you." He says as she gently hugs onto him.

'Have I really… let my self change so much that Asriel needed to change himself to realize what he did to himself? I never meant to hurt him by breaking down like I did… now I see that I should have just stayed stronger for him, that is why I stayed next to him. To protect the one I love.' She pats his back as she pulls him apart, a desire to show him that she was grateful, yet a voice broke it.

"Heya, everything alright?" Asriel turns up and smiles gently. It was Deliana as she was holding a small photo.

"Yeah, just uh some personal issues." Deliana nods as she gives a smile.

"Well here is that photo, would you like me to order up some food for you to take home and perhaps another drink to share? Someones we have some people, even if they are not couples. Share a drink and it helps them relax and unwind from their problems. Mostly lovers take the potions, but in the end they can be shared between friends or family who want to just feel like they can connect for a moment and be at peace." She says as Asriel smiles. He looks to Frisk who nods.

"Yeah, that sounds good… we will take a setup for two drinks… fusion souls please, and Frisk did you see any other meals you'd like to have?" He asks as Frisk smiles, a smile that felt genuine to Asriel for the first time in a while.

"I saw two dishes if that is alright, I would like to them both if that is alright. Water fall's Delight and Royal Grandeur." She says as Asriel nods.

"Make that two of those then as well. Is that okay Deliana?" She nods as she smiles brightly.

"Yeah deary, that is quite fine." She says as she walks off. Frisk leans against Asriel as feeling safe and happy for once as she thinks the day over.

'This… is nice.' She smiles a bit brighter as she looks up to him a bit. "You, don't mind if I just hug onto you like this for a while do you? I miss the times I got to snuggle up and feel your warmth before we got to the surface and a while after… It made me feel safe." She says as Asriel nods.

"Go ahead Frisk, anything you need or want, I will help you with." He replies as he smiles. 'Go ahead, just let yourself slowly return, Then we can think about all this and be happier, and when I bring you here next time I plan to ask for your hand...' He thinks to himself with a bright smile.

They waited for a little while as soon Deliana came out with a couple of bags with a smile. She hands them to Asriel as he and Frisk soon take their leave.

"Feel free to return anytime sweethearts! Your always welcome in Deliana's even if you have no where else to go!" She calls out to them as they leave.

Asriel and Frisk walk towards the car as Asriel pulls his remote out and unlocks it, they walk to the trunk as he places their meals and drink mixtures in the trunk before closing it. He helps Frisk into the car as he soon gets the car started and on the road.

"So did you enjoy this little private dinner we had Frisk?" He asks as he slowly leaves the parking lot. Frisk smiles as she nods.

"Yes, I enjoyed it." She looks to him with a smile. "I needed this, it really… made me feel that much more alive again. I guess, all the stress from working those two years as Ambassador before things calmed down, and all the school stress got to me." She says as Asriel nods.

"I understand completely. Since we are on the topic of school as well, would you like to join me to visit the swim team later this week? So we can get signed up to join?" He asks as Frisk's face lightens up a bit as she nods.

"Yes, I would love to Asriel." She replies as he smiles. They continue driving and Asriel notices something strange. There were no other cars on the city road they were on all of a sudden. He thinks it over and considers it nothing. He drives forwards a bit more before a large object smashes into the side of their vehicle and spins it off course, the car smashes into a nearby building as they come to a stop. Asriel coughing up a fit as smoke starts to fill the car.

"Frisk!" He calls out as he coughs trying to get the door open and the seat belt off.

"A-Asriel, w-What happened?" She replies next to him as he sighs, using his strength he rips the seat belt open as he reaches over and finds her seat belt breaking it the same.

"Something hit us, and I don't think it was an accident." He says as he manages to get his door open he looks around to see, a truck turned on its side and damaged severely. He narrows his eyes as he knows that damaged truck was not damaged by hitting his car, he looks at the front and he gives a low growl at the damage as he quickly leaps over the roof and opens the door to pull Frisk out. She coughs a bit as she gets a bit of fresh air, he pulls her away from the car quickly in case it catches afire. A laughter rings out as Asriel looks down the intersection of roads to see several destroyed cars and a man with purple eyes and black mist flowing off him.

"If it isn't the prince… and my lovely soul carrying target Frisk..." He says as he looks at them.
