POV Undyne

…Suddenly I saw a kind of four-pointed dimensional star and a small orange button with words «Save Progress» near Chara. She tried to reach to it, but I, without even completely comprehending everything, smashed it with a spear, and a button broke in halves and fell on the floor. Girl heavily sighed and lowered her head. Unexpectedly she barely noticeable stretched to the left and I could see another microscopic «Totally Reset» button. I've already swung, but Chara, apparently anticipating my actions, quietly said to me:

"I don't know how could it happen…" she was coughing, literally after every word. "But now you're interested in not to destroy this button."

"Me?" it was a mockery, but with some kind of curiosity and confidence.

"Yeah… If you do it, you will never be able to bring back your friends. But if you… let me to do a reset, you'll… start all over again."

Everything started to beat inside. I turned back, looking at Papyrus', Alphys' and Mettaton' bodies, which have already turned into the ashes; thought about Sans. How much I wished to bring them all back and start anew again, with just killing the human in Snowdin at the first day. And everything will be alright... But now I have a chance to kill Chara once and forever. It seemed, that my decision is obvious, but it was much harder. After all, I lowered my arm and closed my eyes.

"Do whatever you want. Reset this world," I finally whispered.

The girl smiled and immediately pressed the «Totally Reset». Then everything became black. For a second I turned around, but Al, Papyrus and Mettaton already weren't there. The only thing, that was calming me down, was that there wasn't any dust too. Suddenly I ceased to feel my body, and soon lost my consciousness.

I sleepily opened my eyes. It was very quiet. There were only a calming water roaring and echo-flowers' ringing, coming from the outside. I looked around. The piano, standing in the room's farthest corner, the orange half-transparent curtains, the clocks in a shape of a blue fish. I immediately realized, that I'm in my previous house, but not on the Surface. On the one hand, it was rather bad, but I was happy, that I could go back. Now the most important thing, is to understand, which day is today.

It was already a late morning, nearly 11 am. That cut on my belly was still badly hurting and bleeding, because of what it was so painfully even to move. Strange, hadn't it disappear…? I tried to get up, and the first few tries weren't quite successful. But thinking: "I went through even rougher things", I finally rose on my feet. Having found some piece of cloth, I somehow bandaged the wound, although it almost didn't help to ease the pain.

Suddenly I heard a doorbell rang. Usually I was happy hearing it, but it was only more straining and pressing on my consciousness, which still didn't come to me completely. I was standing in the kitchen, so I reached the door only in a couple of seconds. But having opened it, I immediately froze for a few moments because of a small shock or because of the happiness. In front of there was standing Alphys, which was nervously adjusting her glasses and shifting from foot to foot. I had to expect, that everyone will be alive after the reset, but I still was very happy her to come.

"U-u-undyne-" she began to talk, but I knelt and tightly hugged her.

"Alphy, you can't even imagine, how am I glad to see you."

"Em… m-me too, but… w-we haven't seen each other o-only f-for a few hours."

All this time she was faltering more often that usually. When I finally rose and looked at her, I saw, that she blushed a lot.

"What do you mean…?! Don't you remember that-?!" on this world for some reason I stopped.

"R-remember that what?"

"No, nothing, forget about it. I just messed up, you know, I had a nightmare and everything like this…" something forced me to lie. Then for a couple of seconds there was awkward pause. Finally, I became the first one to talk. "So, why did you come?"

"Oh, yeah. I-I wanted to ask… well, m-maybe we'll… w-watch anime t-together tonight…?"

"But why couldn't you just call?"

"I tried, b-but you weren't answering."

"Really?"

I switched on my phone, but then opened my mouth in a surprise. 50 missed! And more than half are from Alphys. The others are from Papyrus. And yet a couple from Asgore.

"Oh, sorry, I just didn't hear them."

"30 times? U-undyne I was worried. D-did something happen?" she took my hand and, having raised her head, wary looked at me.

"No, I've already said, I'm alright."

"A-are you sure…?"

I hugged Al a bit and nodded. Because of her look I felt a little sorry for her and already wanted to tell her everything, but some inner voice was saying me to not to do it. "Hm, she is quite cute when she worries…", I thought suddenly, but immediately recovered again, "God, what am I thinking about…?". We again fell silent for a couple of minutes.

"Anyway, I'll come to you tonight, okay?" I said, starting to slightly push Alphys to the door.

"Y-yeah," she replied a little happier. "And I also need to show you something."

"And yet one!" I shouted, when Al has already went for a few dozen meters from me. Fortunately, she heard me and turned back. "When you will be «improving» Mettaton, try to make that any of wires won't be able to break even by the strongest magic. And moreover, his soul. Just try, please."

I was doing this just in case. Only for my calmness. To at least him will be able to do something if… no, I don't wanna think about the bad. But after this phrase Al's eyes, which seemed even bigger because of the glasses, became even more huge. Having opened her mouth and looking ahead, she stood on her place for a few seconds and then finally came to me in a quick step. I looked at her with a bewilderment.

"H-how did you know about M-mettaton?! I-I've finished the drawings only yesterday, I-I've told even him about a new body o-only today…!"

That moment I got a little panicked. "How could I fail like this?!", was only in my head, and I was choosing all the possible replies. While I was doing this, I manage just to mumble: "Em…". Alphys was warily looking into my eyes. But having thought for a half a minute, I quickly said:

"Mettaton said it to me. He has called me this morning and said, that you're going to make him a new body. Isn't it strange, we're not even friends," I laughed and silly smiled.

"Yes…" she replied slowly, suspiciously looking at me. "W-well, I'll go. See you tonight."

I quickly closed the door and leaned with my back on it. A relieved sight broke out from my chest. Having walked a bit forward and sat at the table, I thought, why didn't I tell her about the reset. For that moment I had only one explanation. Subliminally, I just put myself on Sans' place, and Alphys — on mine, when he was telling me about the same. Somewhere inside I just was scared, that she won't believe me and think, that I really had a nightmare. At least, I thought Sans had. Having somehow explained myself my own actions, I thought, why didn't the cut disappear, though my strength has totally recovered. That was very strange, given the fact, that I didn't have to remember the reset at all. But my thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. It was Papyrus. I got happy and answered.

"Oh, Undyne, thank God! I was so worried," he screamed excitedly.

"Hi, Papyrus," I smiled, having heard his voice, "sorry, I just didn't hear, when you were calling"

"More, than 10 times? Usually you answer immediately. Well, maximum, on the third beep. Something happened? If yes, then you can tell everything to The Great Papyrus!

I exhaled a little irritably, 'cause have already passed through it today.

"Undyne, are you okay?" he asked a little more seriously, having heard sadness in my voice.

"Yeah, I'm alright, don't worry. By the way, can't you remain me, when do we have our next cooking lesson?" I tried to change the theme.

"Today… We've agreed on this, when we were sitting at Grillby's." he replied, having thought a little.

"Oh, yes. Papyrus, I understand, that it will hurt you a bit, but I think, that we can't have it today," I said, having assessed my condition. " I… don't feel myself pretty well."

"I understand…" his voice was so depressed. For a couple of seconds he was saying nothing and because of this I felt even more sorry for him, but when I was about to apologize, I heard his already happy voice: "But don't worry, The Great Papyrus will help you!"

"No, no, you don't have to. Now I just need to be alone. Sorry," I stopped his excitement. Suddenly something forced me to remember about Sans, and I said: "Papyrus, could you do me a one favor? Tell Sans, that I remember our battle with Chara. Just say it to him, don't ask any questions.

After hearing a positive response and saying goodbye, I turned off the phone. I just didn't want to mess Papyrus with my own problems, knowing his sensibility. Moreover, he wouldn't believe me after all. Although Sans could tell him… Well, it doesn't matter.

In a few minutes of sitting at the table in silence and loneliness, I decided to call Asgore. However, soon I've already regretted about it. Right after my excuses about that I didn't come to the training, he started to read to me lectures about respect for the elders, my irresponsibility and about that why didn't I warn him. God, that was the first time I missed the training! Moreover, after my every phrase, like: "Yeah, okay…" or "Listen, I don't feel myself very good, could we talk a little later?", our conversation was getting longer minimum for ten minutes. Deep inside I understood, that Asgore worries about me, but that time my aching head didn't give a damn about it and I already was ready to kill him. Finally, in about forty minutes he took a pity on me. Then I said to him, that I won't be on the training this week and hung up.

If earlier I felt myself not that bad, than now I just wanted to lie and die. To the cut on belly, there added an insane headache, most likely temperature and ache in whole body. I've never felt myself as bad as now. I'm not sure, but I think, that these are the consequences of the first conscious reset in my life. Maybe Sans felt the same at his first time.

I remembered about Alphys, but instead of calling her and telling, that I won't come to her tonight, I set an alarm clock and decided just to sleep, hoping, that after that everything will be alright. That time I've already forgotten about Chara, 'cause I've understood which day is today yet after Al's phrase about Mettaton's new body. I had at least a week. In theory… I hope, she won't come earlier.
