"Howdy! I'm Flowey! Flowey the Flower!" Star and Marco stared at each other, not knowing what to make of the situation. They had fallen down after exploring several dimensions together, only to accidentally open a portal above a hole in Mt. Ebott. Now they were in a dark cavern without their dimensional scissors, with no one but this talking flower. (Gee, what a load of exposition) Star was the first to react, squealing "Aw, you're so adorable! I just wanna gobble you up!" Flowey replied "Hmmm… You're new to the Underground, aren'tcha? Golly, you must be so confused!" "Underground?" Marco asked. "Star, were we meant to go here?" "Uhhhh….." replied Star with a reassuring tone of voice. "Well, someone ought to teach you how things work around here! I guess little old me will have to do." "Ok Flowey! What're you gonna teach us, you cute little snowflake?" asked Star in a 'goochy goochy goo' voice. "Star, should we be trusting someone who's acting suspiciously friendly so soon?" Marco questioned with a skeptical tone. "What?" Flowey asked in an innocent voice dripping with sweetness. "You're not going to survive if you don't know the basics. Here we go!"
Marco started to say something, then was immediately taken aback, by his and Star's hearts suddenly glowing. They glowed in the shape of a heart normally associated with love, and Marco was befuddled by this sudden change of events. Star, on the other hand, was running around excitedly, controlling her heart. "WOO-WEE! Marco. Why didn't you tell me we could do this!?" "Uh.. we couldn't, Star. I don't know how to make our hearts glow all of a sudden!?" Marco responded, so very confused. "Ah, but you see, those aren't just your hearts, friends. Those are your SOULS, the culmination of your very beings." informed Flowey. "Your SOULS start off weak, but they can get stronger if they gain a lot of LV." "Huh. Sounds like something of a videogame." Marco replied. "What does LV stand for? Why, LOVE of course!" Flowey explained. "Aw, how sweet." Star proclaimed. "And down here, LOVE is shared through little white friendliness pellets!" Flowey said while looking "Huh?" Both Star and Marco said. "Are you ready? Move around! Get as many as you can!" "Nah, I'm good." "Same here." replied Marco and Star, now both suspicious, moving away from the 'friendliness pellets. "Hey, you missed them." Flowey noted with a slightly miffed expression. "Let's try this again, OK?" "Uh, no thanks, Flowey, it was real sweet of you, but.." said Star uncertainly, both her and Marco moving out of the way again. Flowey started definitely looking ticked off and yelled out, "Is this a joke? Are you braindead? RUN. INTO. THE BULLETS! Friendliness pellets.", correcting himself at the last word. Marco and Star, now sure that something was up, yet again moved out of the way.
Flowey's face, totally unexpectedly changed to something out of their nightmares as he hissed, "You know what's going on here, don't you?" "Hey, I liked you better when you had your adorable face on." lampshaded Star. "You just wanted to see me suffer." spat Flowey. Abruptly, a ring of 'friendliness pellets' formed around Marco and Star. "Uh-oh." they both said in unison. "Narwhal Blast!" yelled Star, launching a narwhal out of her wand, but the narwhal was blocked by the friendliness pellets bullets. "DIE." growled Flowey, as his ring of bullets closed in on the duo, frantically trying to find a way out, with Marco swatting away at the bullets, while Star kept summoning spells, all of which failed to penetrate the shield inevitably coming towards them, while Flowey cackled in the background. Just then, the bullets dissipated before they could reach the two. Flowey's expression turned to one of a more 'huh?' face, before being blasted away by a fireball, allowing the two's SOULS to slowly disappear. "Wha?" questioned Star, as she along with Marco saw a figure where the fireball came from.
The figure, said, "What a terrible creature, torturing such poor innocent youths." The voice of the figure appeared to be female, a warm, welcoming tone coming from it. She revealed herself to be a goat woman of some sort with white fur, wearing a long purple robe, and she noticed that the two victims were incredibly high-struck, and paranoid of the attacks from not just the malicious flower, but from her. Trying to calm them down, she said, "Do not be afraid, my children. I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins. I pass through these ruins to see if there is anyone who has fallen down." "Ok, how do we know that you weren't just trying to steal his kill?!" Marco questioned. "Yeah, is that what this is? You some kind of witch?" "I understand if you two were not to trust me. However, if you were to follow me, I promise that I mean no harm." Marco and Star looked at each other. "Do we have a choice?" Marco asked Star. "Well, not all monsters are bad! Besides, we might as well enjoy while it lasts." Star reasoned. Marco hesitated. Toriel, for such a powerful monster, had a friendly vibe coming off her. "You sure, Star? Meh, ok." Marco gave in. "This way, children." Toriel led them into the ruins. However, Flowey emerged as they were leaving, albeit a little charred. "So that girl has the magic wand… Hm… Things just got a little more interesting."
