Inspiration for this story comes from the Tumblr page "A Dreamer Reborn." It has the same idea on how Frisk could be able to save Asriel Dreemurr from his fate. While the concept is the same, I plan on writing my own stories to follow the event that saves Asriel. This is really just to make me feel happy, because Asriel didn't get a proper ending IMO... Anyways, onto the story! Oh yeah, and Frisk is a boy in my continuity, sorry.

CHAPTER 1

"Frisk... Don't you have anything better to do?" Asriel said to his friend, trying hard not to cry.

Frisk had been through this countless times. Each time he had tried to find a way to save his poor friend. Each time he tried in futility to find a way to let Asriel live his life, the way he felt the Dreemurr deserved. Frisk knew now the only way to do this was to sacrifice his own soul.

He knew this was an option from the beginning, but the child didn't want to think about it. He thought that maybe there was another way. Then after countless resets and failed attempts, he was ready. He knew this was the only option if he were to save his friend.

"Asriel." Frisk said to the trembling young monster, "I won't let it end like this."

Frisk lunged at his friend and quickly wrapped his arms around the monster. Asriel started to let out a sob, knowing that he may never be able to feel this embrace from a friend ever again.

"Asriel, I'm not going to leave this room without you." Frisk said with all the DETERMINATION he could muster.

"Frisk, I already told yo-"

"I'm going to give you my soul, Asriel."

The young monster was astonished at what his friend had just said.

"Frisk..." Asriel started to cry. "I-I can't let you do that!"

"I've made my decision, Asriel." Frisk said, tears streaming down his face.

"Why? All I've done is hurt you and your friends! I don't deserve this..." Asriel couldn't hold any of his tears back now. He was uncontrollably sobbing, getting Frisk's shirt wet in the process.

"Because I want a happy ending."

"You can have your happy ending, Frisk. You're going to go back to the surface. You're going to be with all your friends. You can live with Mo-" Asriel remembered his parents and his sobbing drowned out his ability to talk.

Frisk started to pat his friend on the back and said "Come on. Let's do this."

Asriel realized there was nothing he could do to change Frisk's mind and said "...Okay..."

Meanwhile...

Hours had passed since Frisk left them at the barrier, waiting for him. The group had been chatting since he left, talking about their experiences with the young boy. When they realized how long it's been, they started to feel concerned about their young friend. Frisk seemed to be acting strange before leaving them behind on his walk. Each one of them was worried about what could have happened to their friend.

"My, Frisk's been gone a long time..." Toriel said looking at the time on her phone. "Where could he be...?"

The group stayed silent for a few moments.

"MAYBE HE'S GONE TO RETRIEVE THE SPAGHETTI HE LEFT IN SNOWDIN?" Papyrus conjectured.

"uh, I don't think so, bro." Sans said. "i'm pretty sure you ate that after frisk went to waterfall..."

"DRATS!" Papyrus exclaimed. "THE GREAT PAPYRUS, FOILED BY HIMSELF!"

"Uh... Maybe we should, uh, go... look... for him?" Alphys said. "Make sure that he's... uh... Okay?"

"Yes, that's probably a good idea." Asgore agreed. "We don't want him to get hurt, do we?"

"That's probably the LAST thing we want!" Undyne said. "I don't know what I'd do if I found out something happened to him!"

Undyne dashed off momentarily, shouting back at them. "I'LL GO LOOK FOR HIM, FEEL FREE TO JOIN ME!"

"W-W-W-WAIT!" Alphys shouted after her, trying to catch up. "WAIT FOR ME!"

After they left, the other four agreed to split up and look around the Underground for their friend.

Back in the ruins...

"H-hold on, Frisk... I-I don't want to k-kill you." Asriel said, after Frisk told him the plan.

"It's alright, Asriel. Don't worry about it, I won't hold anything against you." Frisk reassured his friend. "We have to do this if we want you to absorb my soul."

After a few moments of silence, Asriel gave a reluctant nod to his friend.

"A-Alright, then. I'll make it as painless as possible..."

Asriel readied his magic and Frisk took a few steps back to ready himself.

Those moments, though short, felt like an eternity for Asriel. He hated to see his friend like this, ready to let himself die so Asriel could live on. As his magic charged, he tried to reassure himself that Frisk would soon be living on in him, that they would soon both be with Mother and Father again. They could grow up together. Finally, his magic was at full power. He closed his eyes and cast his spell.

It was done.

Asriel slowly opened his eyes. There it was, floating above his friend's body. The soul glowed a bright red, illuminating the dark room with it's eerie light. The little monster slowly walked forward. No turning back now, He thought as he crept nearer and nearer the bright red soul.

He remembered his old friend Chara, how they wanted him to absorb their soul so they could destroy humanity. The memory haunted him night and day, even through his life as a flower.

This was different, however. He knew that Frisk only had good intentions, that all Frisk wanted was for everyone to be happy. So he felt more comfortable as he got within arms' reach of his friend's soul. He slowly took it and held the little soul against himself. The red object glowed profusely as it merged into his being, almost as if it was happy to do so. Soon he was able to feel the warmth inside of him.

He heard a voice inside his head.

See, it wasn't that bad, now was it?

"N-no.. But what about your body?" Asriel asked the voice he knew to be Frisk.

I, uh, didn't really think about that...

"We can't just l-leave it there!" Asriel cried. "What if someone sees it?"

Let's just take it with us, we'll get some help with it after we tell our friends what happened.

"O-Okay..." Asriel felt a shiver down his spine when he picked up the limp body and pulled it over his shoulder.

Come on, let's go get someone.

On their journey out of the ruins, Frisk struggled to get used to his new existence. The two were both sharing the same body, and Asriel let Frisk take control part of the way to try and get used to their body. Initially he stumbled a bit here and there, tripping over grey rocks and missing his steps, but after a while he had gotten a little bit better at it.

Soon the two would be out of the ruins.

Just outside...

he has to be here! Sans thought to himself. he isn't anywhere else!

Sans had already searched everywhere else, so he knew that Frisk was back here in the ruins. His worry had grown every time his search had brought him nothing. He had been through a lot with Frisk, and the last thing he wanted was for the child to go missing. Besides, he had made a promise to Toriel. He promised he'd protect this kid, and he sure as hell wasn't going to lose him now.

He reached the entrance and noticed the door was wide open. As he approached the door he was shocked to see a small figure carrying something strange out of the realized immediately who it was.

what's he doing here?! Sans thought to himself as he approached the little monster. He realized what Asrliel was carrying as soon as the first ray of the underground's dim light hit the body.

you bastard! Was all Sans could think. He took his stance in the middle of the path, blocking the monster.

"heya." Sans greeted the little monster.

"H-hey..." Asriel greeted him back. "Um, my name is Asriel."

"dreemurr?" Sans replied. "oh, i know who you are, and what you did."

"H-huh?" Asriel seemed a bit suprised.

Of course Asriel remembered Sans, how couldn't he? Sans was always the one to stop him when he tried to kill everyone before Frisk showed up, made him reset many times. This skeleton had caused him many bad times, which he all knew were well deserved. He tried to wrap his head around what Sans meant.

"that body your carrying." Sans said. "i know who that is."

Don't worry, Asriel. Frisk told him. Just explain what happened.

"O-oh..." Asriel sighed a bit in relief. "I- no... We can explain this. You see-"

"oh, i bet you can." Sans interrupted. "but first, let's enjoy this scenery."

The skeleton closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"ahhh..." Sans exhaled. "nature can be so calming sometimes."

Sans opened his right eye, and it glowed blue.

Asriel knew what was coming.

"it's a beautiful day outside..."
