Asriel: Howdy, Readers! What you see here, is a spinoff to Ben's story, 'Our Own Route'. Our adventures in the Underground aren't over just yet! *nibbles pie*

Frisk: It will cover how our lives are going with our friends and family during the six year wait before we go to the surface. *nibbles pie*

Chara: This first chapter is around 3000 words or less. The length of the chapters will vary. Some might be less than a thousand. Some more. It depends on what pops in his head. *nibbles chocolate*

Me: Indeed, this spinoff takes place in-between the first story and the sequel, which I will publish at some point. It isn't ENTIRELY necessary to read these in order to understand some things I'll do in the sequel, but some things might definitely be clearer later.

Toriel: A majority of the drabbles will be around my three children, as well as Asgore and I. But our friends will also be present at some points. *ALSO nibbles pie*

Asgore: My family and loved ones are going to have a very happy life together during our wait. Granted, there shall still be a bit of difficulties ahead of us. But there is nothing we cannot endure. For we are DETERMINED! *...sips Golden Flower Tea*

Me: Couldn't have said it better myself. Now here, enjoy this first drabble, filled with Dreemurr family fluff!

Nice day today, isn't it?

Birds are singing, flowers are blooming.

Perfect day for sweet cinnamon rolls like Prince Asriel Dreemurr...

...to be waking up.

Asriel slowly opened his eyes a bit, a soft yawn leaving his muzzle. He sat up from his bed and stretched his arms upward, and scratched his floppy ears a little bit. He looked around his bed and smiled softly at the sight.

His two siblings, slept by either side of him, the sweet and gentle-hearted Pacifist, Frisk Dremurr; and his not as gentle-hearted but reformed Chara Dremurr. His two beloved brothers whom he loved so dearly. He remembered his two promises to them: He would protect Frisk, and he would reform Chara. He would not fail, it was not even an option. He would help these two received the proper happiness Frisk deserved and Chara desperately needed. And his loved ones are more than willing to help. Sans was understandably...very doubtful about Chara reformation, but he wouldn't crush the Dreemurr's hopes just because he was in disapproval. They deserved a chance to work their magic on him. Asriel promised he wouldn't regret it. He would make sure he never regrets it.

Asriel's smile grew wider. He may be the middle child, but it didn't matter. He always wanted siblings, and now he finally has them. He's got a new best friend/brother, and they worked together to help put his old best friend/brother om the path to redemption. He couldn't be happier for succeeding.

He hears the door open, and the light of the hallway light shines upon the three siblings. It was enough to wake Frisk and Chara up, though the latter was less than pleased about it. Toriel was the one who stepped in and opened the door, a gentle smile gracing her muzzle as she lets go of the doorknob and clasped her paws.

"Rise and shine, my dear children. It's time to start another day! I've already made some good morning pie!~"

"Can't the day start like three hours later?" Chara groaned, pulling the covers over his head. Frisk pouts at him and lightly shook his back, quietly insisting thst he wake up. Frisk was DETERMINED to get him out of bed, while Chara was DETERMINED to go back to sleep. Thus results in stalemates like this one.

Asriel pouted as well. "Come on, Chara~ It's time to get up."

"Nope. I prefer to spend the rest of my morning soundly asleep, thank you."

Toriel smiles knowingly. "Well then, I guess you won't be swayed by the delightful smells of chocolate chip waffles, right?"

There was a long pause, followed by a small grumble of 'Curse me and my weakness for all things chocolate' and he sat up with an annoyed yawn. "Alright, alright. I'm up."

Soon enough, Asgore stepped into the room and stood beside Toriel, a louder yawn than the others leaving his jaws, which exposed his father razor sharp teeth and front fangs. Though when his jaws closed back, the same smile belonging to the same jolly king returns. "Is our eldest sleeping prince being a bit grumpy so early in the morning?"

"Ha ha, I forgot how to laugh, Dad." Chara rolled his eyes. Frisk and Asriel snickered at his annoyed yet cute pouting face. Chara managed to grow comfortable enough around them to stop referring to them as 'Mother and Father' and simply call them Mom and Dad. It shows definite growth.

Toriel got on one knee and opened her arms out to them with a warm smile. "Come now. Can't start a morning without good morning kisses from Mommy~"

"And Daddy~" Asgore smiled just as warmly, also getting on one knee.

Asriel and Frisk giggled, eagerly running into their parents arms and hugging them tightly. Their laughter grew much more cheerful as Toriel landed sweet kisses on Asriel's cheeks and forehead, as well as Asgore doing the same for Frisk. The they would switch and repeat the process, and then allowed them to leave the room. They both turned to Chara, their arms still held out to him with bright smiles. Chara sighed in slight embarrassment.

"Do I have to?"

"Of course not. But we know you want to."

Unable to argue against that, Chara sighed and submitted to his fate, walking into his foster parents arms. They grabbed him at the same time and held him in-between them, and worked together to bring plenty of good morning kisses to his cheeks and forehead from both sides, showering him with equal amounts of love as the other two, until they let go and sent him on his way. He was blushing mildly, which made his naturally rosy cheeks that much more noticeable.

He caught up to his younger siblings, who were sitting at the table, already eating their share of morning pie that Toriel baked for them, as well as the side of orange juice. Though she made sure there were plenty of chocolate waffles for Chara. Sighing softly, he set at the table in-between them and began eating as well.

"Where's the flower?"

"You mean Flowey? He's sitting outside being all pouty." Frisk answered, sipping a bit of orange juice. Since Flowey was essentially an embodiment of a majority of Asriel's negativity since they became two different beings, they decided to take him in too. Of course he initially responded with harsh words and steely glares, but then he just stopped struggling when it was made clear they weren't taking no for an answer.

"You know, I keep wondering why you would take him in the first place." Chara looked towards Asriel.

"He doesn't have many places to go. We couldn't just leave him behind." Asriel answered while nibbling his pie. "Besides, Dad seems to have fun watering him. Flowey likes it and just won't say it."

"Agreed. He's an annoying weed."

"He's still wary of you."

"We're both here to stay. He'd best get used to it."

"I'm just saying, can't you try being nice to him? He seems to still like you quite a bit but is too scared to approach you." Frisk asked. "You both tend to be the naughty ones."

Chara rolled his eyes. "Someones gotta balance out the two balls of blinding sunshine that is you two. I'm that dark kind of star that balances out the sunshine yet still manage to be essential. It might not be making sense right now, but it will in time, I assure you. I have to take the role of the mischievous problem child in order to balance us out."

"Of course you're still going to be better than you used to be, right?'

"Yeah yeah, I'm gonna be alright."

"And here I am with more pie!" Asriel called. Frisk and Chara didn't notice that Asriel finished his first pie slice, and came back with another, slightly bigger one. Chara chuckled.

"Good grief, Asriel. You're gonna eat up all the pie before anyone else can get a chance!"

"Sorry. I can't help it." Asriel said as he then dug into his pie once again, greatly enjoying it as well as the last slice.

Toriel and Asgore both stood through the doorway of the kitchen, smiling at the sight of their children eating. The former lightly rubbed a bit of sweat off of her paw. "Dear me...I'm deeply grateful that Asriel is alive again...but I'm also very surprised that he brought such a monstrous appetite along with him! He's almost as bad as you are now, Gorey."

"You know, Tori...you have a point. The boy now has a large stomach inside that small furry body of his." Asgore chuckled in amusement. "Maybe someday he'll beat his old man at a pie-eating contest. Would you mind assisting us in supply if that day ever comes?"

"That might be a possibility, but I'm more than happy to oblige. Someone has to keep you boys fed. Even if it's through contest form." Toriel smiled softly, also chuckling softly.

Asriel finished his second plate of pie just as Frisk finished his own pie, and Chara finished his waffles. They decided that would be enough for now, putting the plate in the sink and starting to clean them. Though Toriel placed a paw on his shoulder. "I can do the dishes, sweetie. You three can go outside and see your friends. Make sure that you, how you say...keep me posted."

"Mom. There really is not much in the Underground that is seriously dangerous anymore. Do we really..." Toriel looked Chara in the eye, and the boy wisely chose not to continue. "Fine."

"Good. Now...kiss Mommy and Daddy goodbye."

Once again, Asriel and Frisk were eager to comply, hugging their parents once again. Asriel kissed Toriel's cheek, then switched and kissed Asgore's cheek. Frisk kissed Asgore's cheek first, then Toriel's. Then they opened the door and ran outside. The parents looked at Chara with patient expectation. He sighed and resigned to their wishes again.

"Bye Dad." Chara said while kissing Asgore's cheek. Then he turned to Toriel and kissed her cheek as well. "Bye Mom." He says with a soft and tiny, yet still genuine smile, as he followed his brothers out the door, shouting at them, telling them to wait for him.

Toriel softly waved after the boys as she turned to the sink and began washing the dishes they left behind from breakfast. She smiled in admiration when her mind came to the three boys. She couldn't be happier to have those three to be a part of her life. She's been spending a lot of time with her family as of late, something they all really needed.

Asgore stood next to her, rolled up his sleeves, and began helping her with the dishes. "Chara...he's making progress. We've seen it."

"I know. It's been three weeks since all of that chaos ended. Though I can still sense small waves of self-doubt emitting off of him. That's fine. With the way he was, a path of redemption is not an easy one to take. But we love him, and we're very patient."

"Indeed we are. We've made this clear to him through both action and words. Reassuring him that his new family won't abandon him is an excellent way to keep his spirits up." Asgore nodded.

"Luckily he also has the brotherly love of Asriel and Frisk. They stay close to him at all times and shower him with brotherly affection. Asriel and Frisk are bordering on being inseparable, and they wish the same for Chara. Maybe together, we'll all be able to get more smiles out of him."

"I hope so too, Tori. Reassuring him that we'll always be there for him is a definite necessity for his reformation." He says as they finish up on the dishes and look out the window above it. Then he turn towards Toriel with a knowing smile. "You know...Asriel and Chara still get embarrassed whenever we get too 'lovey dovey'. While Frisk seems perfectly fine with it."

"Indeed. I've noticed."

Asgore smirked. "They're not here right now."

"I know, Gorey. We've just seen them leave."

"Soooo~" Asgore gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, clasping his paws above her stomach, and kissed her cheek. Toriel's immediate reaction was to blush. She could feel his golden beard lightly tickling her cheek and a bit of the back of her neck.

"G...Gorey..."

"Come now, Tori. I love our time with the kids as much as you do. But I also intend to greatly enjoy our alone time. So many years apart...you realize we have much catching up to do."

"Gorey...I do understand that, and I agree..." Asgore leaned and kissed her other cheek. "But...but I'm just suggesting..." Then he lightly nuzzles into her furry neck, she let out an uncontrolled murr. "...W-We need to practice s-some degree of self-control...we shouldn't r-rush too much..." He then softly kisses the top of her head, a smile gracing his lips with every action. After that, Toriel's resolve broke, and she sighed. Then she turned around with an almost predatory look in her eyes, and it made Asgore flinch just a bit. "Just remember, Gorey. You asked for this."

She placed her paws over his cheeks and roughly pulled him down to her, instantly connecting her lips to his. She then placed her paws on his chest and pushed him during the kiss, until his back hits the wall. Asgore blushed deeply at the sudden burst of passion from his wife, but didn't complain. He did ask for this with all of his teasing. He eagerly wrapped his arms around her back to pull her closer and return the kiss, though once again it was made clear who the dominant one was. It really is surprising to see the King of Monsters being so submissive.

Granted, this was his wife, and she was never one to be known as weak, no matter how nice she was. Asgore had the necessary strength needed to lead the kingdom on his own for as long as he did, but lacked the intelligence to lead it on a stable path that made short-run decisions very costly. While Toriel had the necessary intelligence needed to lead the kingdom on a stable path, but lacked the strength to keep it that way, making some long-term decisions useless.

These are yet another testament of how much they needed one another. They carefully balance out one another's flaws, sometimes without even realizing it.

After such a passionate make out session, Toriel pulled back from Asgore and smoothly licked her lips, leaving Asgore as a blushing mess. "Well? Did you get what you wanted?"

"Golly..."

"I'll take that as a yes." She smoothed out a bit of his beard, her smile growing softer. "I'll be in the living room if you need me. I haven't called Sans in a while. He must be feeling incredibly bonely." Asgore stifled a laugh, while she was thown into a fit of giggling. She then placed a kiss on his cheek and walked off. Asgore smiles softly, then a much deeper blush spread across his face when he found himself involuntarily staring at her gently swaying hips, before she disappeared into the next room.

Asgore lightly touched his cheek, then his lips, his smile growing. He deeply missed this. He missed being able to talk with Toriel, laugh with her at her terrible puns, cuddling with her and kissing her, or just simply feeling the warmth of her fur against his own. He also missed the feeling of coming home to people waiting for him, instead of coming home alone to an empty, colorless house, lifeless house where only be resided in and kept his darkest emotions hidden. Not only that, he had his birth son revived from the dead, Asriel Dreemurr. His foster son revived and pacified, Chara Dreemurr. And a new foster son who managed to make both of those feats possible, Frisk Dreemurr. The Underground was no longer suffering, and they, along with all other monsters would be living on the Surface when their patience rewards them.

The Monsters finally have a happy future in sight. Asgore got his family back, with a very great addition, and they were better than ever. He couldn't be happier.

"These days have become truly beautiful..."

Me: First drabble done! And there's bound to be more!

Toriel: Lovely work, my child!

Asgore: *Blush* Tori sure can be...assertive with her advances...Golly...

Me: To quote Papyrus: 'HE'S A BIG FLUFFY PUSHOVER'. So I thought...what does that mean for his romance with Toriel? Thus, this view of the pairing is born...and I'm having fun with it. Hopefully you all will too.

Chara: I did NOT want to get out of bed...but then I was bribed with chocolate waffles...

Asriel: That's like me with cinnamon!

Frisk: Those two flavors are so powerful...

Toriel: I can make more.

All: Yes ma'am!
