'Thoughts.'

*Actions*

Meant to be noticed

"Talking."

There was a thump from somewhere around the bend. The air seemed to cool considerably.

"Here we go again…"

The air seemed to ring with the echoes of footsteps as something, draws nearer.

'Maybe if i'm lucky this won't be another genocide run… Heh, who am I kidding, they seem to be set on this happening over and over again.'

The footsteps grow loud, louder, yet louder. *Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

'They are going really slow this time.' You think. 'What could have changed?' You think hard to the last reset, it's much harder to remember nowadays, what with so many loads, so many resets, sometimes very rapidly. Your head starts to hurt. 'Ugh… I need a break.' You think hard, but nothing comes to mind, in fact your 'head' hurts even more now, if that's possible.

"The downsides of being a flower." You mutter aloud. "Now, what's taking the kid so long?" The footsteps stopped awhile ago and you hadn't heard anything else since.

You sigh, "Gotta do everything myself…" you dive (even further?)underground, and you pop up around the corner.

"Hey, moron, what's taking so lo-" You stop, something is wrong, they are just standing there, they are still breathing, 'Quite heavily' you add, but they are motionless.

"Hey, uh, you alright?" You wince at your own words, now is not the time to worry about the integrity of the timelines. "Listen, move, NOW, Moth- Toriel will get here soon and then we will really, be off script… No? Still nothing? Sheesh…" You bite down on your non-existant lip. 'You really are useless, aren't you?'

The padding of footsteps is heard behind you.

You start, the kid isn't moving so that means… The air heats up.

'Oh golly…' You brace yourself, and as the flames engulf you, you are sent careening into the wall.

"-poor innocent youth..." Toriel says.

As Toriel recites her customary speech you wake, 'Ugh, dammit kid.' That hit harder than usual. You try to curse aloud, but can't, it's probably for the best. 'Of all the things to happen to me, this by far is the second worst.'

You almost miss the gasp Toriel made, you decide to tune into the conversation you previously didn't care about.

"My child, are you alright…?" Toriel questions, "*Gasp* Have you gone into shock!?" she seems frantic, "I think I read a book about this once, I must get you to a safe place immediately!"

Toriel then presumably decides to run to the demon child, a startled shriek then sounds throughout the room, followed by the very distinct sound of a monster turning to dust.

Then the footsteps start towards you. *Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

'They're both morons.' You think, as you close your eyes. 'At least you got some sort of new outcome this time.'

A shiver goes down your stem as sleep overtakes you.

Thank you very much for reading this short, and please tell me how I did and what I should improve on.
