...Well this is interesting. I never thought I'd be writing for an AU of all things. I meant to put this up yesterday, but I didn't have a lot of time.

Anyways...Hiya, this is TC! And truth be told, I used to hate Underfell at first, mainly because I'd keep running into a lot of abusive fontcest. In fact, it got so bad that I literally thought that Underfell was basically just an AU where Papyrus abused Sans. But when I actually took a good look at the AU, it started to grow on me. I liked some of the ideas that went into it. Heck, there are a couple of good UF fan games that are in development right now that I'm looking forward to.

Now...keep in mind that while I may borrow some things from the community, this will mostly be my interpretation of the AU (seeing as the original creator has abandoned this). Anyways, I hope you enjoy this.

Once upon a time, two races ruled the Earth: Humans and Monsters.

One day, war broke out between the two races, with the humans emerging victorious. They sealed the monsters underground using a magic spell. It is said that those who climb the mountain never come back, as the monsters still lurk inside the mountain to this very day..

Mt. Ebott

201X

Frisk woke up in a patch of golden flowers, they looked around to see where they were. When they looked up, they saw the entrance to the mountain was very steep. In fact, it was too steep to climb.

...Come to think of it, why DID they want to come here? There were supposed to be monsters down here, right?

Frisk started to walk, they held their worn-out knife close to them in case of an ambush. When they made their way to the next room, they saw what looked like a golden flower sitting by itself. Unlike the ones Frisk had seen earlier, this one looked like it was wilting. Its petals were slightly torn. As Frisk tried to step closer, the flower began to panic.

"OH NO!" He quickly turned his head to look at Frisk, he looked absolutely terrified. "P-please d-don't hurt me, I-I promise I-I'll get outta y-your way!"

"What? No." Frisk assured him, "Why would I want to hurt you?"

"Y-you..." the flower began to lower his defenses. "You mean you WON'T hurt me?"

"Do I have a reason to?" Frisk asked, "It's not like you're luring me into a trap or anything."

"...I-I suppose you're right," The flower said with a weak smile. "I'm Flowey...Flowey the Flower, what's your name?"

"I'm Frisk."

"Well, Frisk. You should probably hide while you can before SHE gets here."

"Who's 'she'?"

"Oh...THERE you are~!"

"EEP!" Flowey quickly dug himself into the ground. Before Frisk had any time to respond, they were face-to-face with a tall, goat-like monster. She wore a tattered, black dress with a red symbol at the front. Dark circles sat under her eyes, she was grinning like a mad woman.

Frisk backed away, unsure of what to make of this. "Wha-"

"Come along now, child," said the goat monster as she grabbed Frisk by the arm. "We don't want you to get sick again, do we?"

"What are you talking about!?" Frisk exclaimed. "I don't even know you!"

"Silly child, did you forget my name, again?" asked the goat. "My name is Toriel. Hopefully, you'll remember this time."

Frisk panicked. Why did she act like she KNEW Frisk? They looked back at Flowey, who gave them a terrified look. "D-don't worry, I'll think of something!"

That hardly made Frisk feel any better. But for now, it looked like they had to go along with what Toriel says. After all, she couldn't be TOO crazy...right?

As the duo continued to walk, Frisk couldn't help but look around. There appeared to be a lot of puzzles, here. However, they also appeared to be completely destroyed. Frisk opened their mouth to speak, but Toriel interrupted. "I destroyed them so you would feel safer. That way I wouldn't have to lose you, again."

"Er…" Frisk struggled to smile. "So that means I won't have to solve any of them, right?"

"Actually...there's still one puzzle that I couldn't destroy," Toriel huffed in annoyance. She showed Frisk her left paw, it had a deep gash in it. "And believe me, I tried."

"Oh…" Frisk began to frown, any encouragement they had was now gone. Toriel patted their head. "Don't worry, the puzzle should be easy to figure out on your own."

Frisk nodded, they weren't even going to question it anymore.

Finally, Toriel took Frisk into another room. Aside from the nearby rubble, the only thing that stood there was a worn-out dummy.

"Now remember...when a monster attacks you, your only option is to fight back," Toriel replied. "If you absolutely have to, you can kill it. But if you DO kill it, your LV will increase.

"What's LV?"

"It stands for LOVE," Toriel replied, closing her eyes as she tilted her head. "Although...I can't remember what THAT stands for. What a pity~!"

"O-OK…" Frisk turned to face the dummy, their soul began to glow, as did the dummy's. It was just a dummy, so Frisk wouldn't have a problem attacking it, right? Still, attacking seemed...wrong. Maybe insults would work, instead?

Frisk puffed out their chest, staring straight into the dummy's eye. "You're a buttface! Not only that, but your family's a buttface! EVERYONE YOU LOVE IS A BUTTFACE!"

Suddenly, a ghost came out of the dummy's body. It left before Frisk could say anything else. Toriel began to cackle. "Of course! Why kill the monster when you can insult it? Already, you're proving yourself to be better than the last time you've attacked the dummy! "

"Hehe...yeah," Frisk looked down, gripping at their right sleeve. They were always such a softy, they questioned whether or not they would be able leave this place alive.

Toriel lead Frisk into the next room, she turned her head and grinned. "Here, how about I let you solve this puzzle? The solution should be in this room."

Frisk nodded as they started to examine the room. First, they noticed the zigzag pattern on the floor. Second, they saw the vines hanging from the holes in the wall. They walked over to the vines and looked around. What they weren't expecting to find was a trembling frog monster. It quietly looked at Frisk, then back at Toriel.

"H-hey, are you OK?" Frisk asked.

"Oh, is someone there?" Toriel asked as she walked closer. "I hope they're not here to hurt my child~!"

The frog started to back away, it hid inside a hole so Toriel couldn't see it. In fact, it went so far back that Frisk could barely see its outline. Toriel let out a small giggle. "Well, at least I know it won't bother you," she said while grabbing Frisk's hand. "I would've had to use drastic measures, otherwise."

Frisk started to frown. "Wh-what kind of drastic measures?"

Toriel brought a paw to her chin, thinking about it before looking down at the young human. "Let's just say that my clothes would've been extra dusty if I did anything!"

Frisk raised an eyebrow, unsure of what to say. Maybe she was speaking nonsense? Although in all fairness, the Ruins WERE a little dusty. And speaking of dust, Frisk and Toriel had come up to a grated bridge sitting above above a small stream. For some reason, there was a pattern of dust sitting on the bridge.

"Don't worry, I'll be right behind you!" Toriel said as she stepped back, allowing Frisk to step on the bridge. Frisk started walking absentmindedly. Things were looking good, so far...at least until Toriel pulled them back. "CAREFUL!" she screamed as spikes popped out of the ground, nearly grazing Frisk's leg. Toriel stared at the spikes with a horrified expression, almost as if she had witnessed a murder. Frisk looked up at the goat-like monster. "Toriel…?"

There was hardly a response, Frisk started pulling at her dress. "Toriel!"

"Wh-what!?" Toriel snapped out of her trance-like state. She looked down at the spikes, then back at Frisk. She scooped the human off the ground and started walking in a zig-zag pattern, avoiding the dusty parts of the bridge. As she made it to the other side of the bridge, she placed Frisk back down onto the floor. "I guess puzzles are a little too dangerous, right now."

"What gave you that idea?" Frisk asked bitterly.

"Here," Toriel said guiding Frisk into the next room. "I need you stay here while I check the rest of the Ruins. In the meantime, you can talk to me through this cell phone if you ever need anything."

"Er...thank you," Frisk said as they received the cell phone. Toriel gave the small human a pat on the head. "Be good, all right?"

As Toriel finally left Frisk alone, the young human walked over to the column at the end of the hall. They let out an exasperated gasp as they played with the phone that was in their hands.

...The phone didn't even work.

I'll admit, this chapter is a little underwhelming...But I promise, the story will be a little more different as we go along.
