Hey, time for Chapter 2. Thanks for even considering reading this. And if you liked it, thanks even more. I will try and make it that each area of the game takes 3-4 chapters, (one for intro, one or two for the middle and mini boss, and one for the boss.) so this will be a long one.

Chapter 2

The Ruins

The three children followed Toriel into a Purple room with two flights of stairs. They walked up, and entered another room with 6 pressure pads and a lever.

"Where are we?" Mabel asked.

"Your new home Innocent ones. Allow me to educate you in the operation of the Ruins."

Toriel walked over to the pressure pads, and stood on four of them. She then pulled the lever, which opened a door ahead of them.

"The ruins are full of puzzles. Ancient fusions between diversions and doorkeys. One must solve them to move from room to room. Please adjust yourself to the sight of them." She said before walking through the door, which seemed like an entrance into the main ruins. Dipper walked up to a sign that read, "Only the fearless may proceed. Brave ones, foolish ones, both walk not the middle road." Dipper read out loud so the other two could know what the sign said. "Huh, I wonder what that means." Dipper thought before he and the other two girls walked through the door, where Toriel was standing. "To make progress here, you will need to trigger several switches." She explained to the kids. "Do not worry, I have labeled the ones that you need to flip."

Dipper looked over to see three switches, two of which where labeled with bright yellow arrows.

"You don't say." he sarcastically mumbled under his breath. Frisk pulled the first, while Mabel pulled the second. Toriel congratulated them, despite the fact that the puzzle was incredibly easy, before moving on to the next room. Inside was a single dummy. Toriel explained, "As a human living in the underground, monsters may try too attack you. You will need to be prepared for this situation. However, worry not, the process is simple. When you encounter a monster, you will enter a fight. When you are in a fight, strike up a friendly conversation. Stall for time, I will come to resolve the conflict. Why don't you practice talking to the dummy?" Mabel walked up to see that her soul, like their encounter with Flowey, had appeared in front of her.

"Hello dummy. You look really good today. You sure are a cool dummy."

"Heh, doesn't seem like its up for conversation." Frisk said. "But Toriel seems happy."

"And happy I am. Young lady, you are very good." Toriel said. She did seem happy with Mabel, and walked through to the next room.

"I don't really think that talking to someone during a real fight will help with anything." Dipper said.

"You never know bro. It might just work."

"Maybe, but what if we get in an actual fight with someone who is trying to kill us, like that flower?"

"Well, we just talk our way out of it, or run."

"If you say so Mabel."

They walked on to another room, where Toriel said that there was another puzzle. They followed Toriel through to a thin corridor, until a large, and very strange frog appeared and began to jump towards Mabel, her green soul, once again, jumping out and appearing in front of her. Dipper suddenly ran in front of her.

"Hey, leave my sister alone, or I'll, I'll, I'll attack you!" He shouted with anger at the frog. The creature backed away, threatened by Dipper. Toriel then came and gave the 'Froggit' a look, and, even more frightened than before, slowly walked away.

"Thanks Toriel."

"No problem young lady. Now come along, there is still a ways to go."

They continued forward, and came across a large group of spikes in the middle of a pond that led to the other side.

"This is the puzzle," Toriel explained. "But… here, take my hand for a moment."

She grabbed Frisks hand, and began to lead her across. Knowing that they might forget the path, the twins followed her, managing to get across un-injured.

"Puzzles seem a little bit too dangerous for now. Why font we carry on?" She said. They continued forward, and came across a large, long corridor, with a pillar at the end. Toriel stopped and looked at the three.

"You have done excellently thus far my children."

"Thank you." Mabel replied politely. Dipper thought to himself.

"Wait, your children…"

"However, I have a difficult request to ask of you… I would like you to walk to the end of this room buy yourselves. Close your eyes, and open them in about 10 seconds." They did so, and closed their eyes. Toriel spoke as if she were slightly, or, greatly worried, maybe even guilty.

"Forgive me for this." She quickly said before running away. They all reopened their eyes only to see Toriel had disappeared.

"Great, she ran off and left us to get killed by monsters."

"Nah, I bet you any spare change you have that she's behind that pillar." Frisk said to the boy.

'Yeah, Toriel doesn't seem like the kind of nice, caring lady who would leave you to get eaten by monsters."

"Okay, but if I'm right, I'm in charge of leading us out. "

They agreed, and begin walking to the end of the needlessly large room, with little to nothing in it besides the path and hanging moss. They got to the end of the corridor where, lo and behold, Toriel was indeed hiding behind the pillar.

"Greetings children. Do not worry, I did not leave you. I was simply behind this pillar the whole time. Thank you for trusting me."

"Dipper didn't." Mabel said quietly.

"However, there was a reason for this exercise; to test your independence. I must attend to some business, and you three must stay here for a while. Please remain here. Its dangerous to explore by yourselves." She stood for a while, until saying

"I have and idea. I will give you a cell phone. I would give one to each of you, but I only have my one and a spare one, so I will give it to Frisk. If you have a need for anything, just call. Be good alright." Before walking off. Frisk rose her hand to Dipper, before he handed her a few coins in spare change.

They waited for about 10 minutes, and besides from a strange phone call about a small, white dog, nothing happened.

"Uggghhh" Dipper groaned impatiently, "Why don't we just go by ourselves, I doubt that Toriel is going to come back any time soon."

"Hey Dipper, why don't you have a look through the Journal?" Mabel asked.

"I already did, but there is nothing in it that says anything about underground civilizations, talking flowers and goat people."

'You know, I actually agree with Dipper, we should explore. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?"

"Okay. Now we all agree on something. Onwards, to explore the ruins!" Mabel shouted with excitement. They walked forward, only for Frisks phone to ring. She answered, only to see that Toriel had called her.

"No, we're still there. Ok. By mom." Said Frisk before hanging up.

"Hey, why'd you call her 'mom'?" Dipper asked

"Uhhh, no reason. Come on, let's go through there." She pointed towards a doorway, where inside, there was a bowl with candy. They each took some, however, Mabel took more than the other two, eventually knocking over the bowl. She immediately felt like the scum of the earth. They walked out, and Frisk began playfully crinkling around in some leaves, Mabel following her.

"You know what" Frisk said with a grin "Crinkling around in these leaves fills me with DETERMINATION!"

"Yeah! That sounds almost like a meme of some kind!"

"Mabel, stop doing the leaf dance." Dipper said.

"No, it's fun."

"Ughhh." The boy groaned groaned. He was un-amused by the 'leaf dance' and had began to grow impatient.

"Ok, so while you two are playing are playing around in a bunch of leaves, and monster with a taste for Human flesh, or that Flower, or a giant frog is going to attack and kill us. That's just great."

"Calm down Dip, we'll be fine."

Suddenly, a Froggit leaped on top of Dipper, and like every other time they had gotten into a fight, his heart shaped soul appeared, red as blood.

"HEY, GET OFF!" He shouted as he through the monster off of him, injuring it. Deciding to fight back, it began spitting at him, many of the small balls of saliva smacking him, hurting him, but not too much.
"Dipper, stop!" Frisk shouted. She stopped him from attacking it, before knelling down in front of it.

"Hey there. It's ok, he won't hurt you. You know, you are really good at jumping."

The frog blushed deeply, giving the girl a smile. Despite the fact that her soul was showing, the Froggit did not attempt to attack in any way.

"Ok, now hop along, go back t your home." She said, before it happily hopped away.

"Wow Frisk, that was amazing. You sure know how to talk to those Monsters."

"Thanks Mabel. Maybe it's a talent. Also Dipper, be more careful. You could've killed it."

"Sorry. What was I supposed to do, just let it attack me instead?"

"No. Remember what Toriel said, 'Strike up a friendly conversation'. Do what I did. Spare them, and don't fight. They may be monsters, but they are still people"

"Ok, ok. I'm sorry. I will try to be less… aggressive, when we encounter monsters. I just want to get back to Gravity falls as soon as possible."

"It's ok, I forgive you. Now come on, there are still ruins to explore and puzzles to solve. Lots, and lots, of puzzles."

"Huh. She seems forgiving."

"That would make sense. She does seem to be a nice person. Now come on, you like puzzles, don't you Dipper."

They walked on for quite a while, before Toriel once again called Frisk. She asked if she preferred cinnamon, or butterscotch. She answered by saying, "Butter scotch please." before hanging up, and continuing on. The three children encountered many strange things while they walked around the Ruins, including; A meek, fly like creature who didn't really need to be talked to, as any time one of them tried to speak to it, it burst into tears and ran off, more Frogs, a jelly like creature, some puzzles, and a stubborn, living rock that took some convincing, and some complaining from Dipper, to move to the right place so that the three could move across a wall of spikes. They eventually came across a table with a piece of cheese stuck to it, and a mouse hole.

"You know what," Dipper said with a more glad tone in his voice than previously. "I'm actually kind of enjoying myself. Sure, we are lost in some sort of ancient underground civilization, but this place really isn't that…"

"HEY A GHOST!" Mabel shouted with excitement as they saw a ghost looking ghost lying on a bunch of leaves. It made a snoring sound, obviously pretending to sleep.

"Are they goonnee yeeettt?" It said with a sad sounding voice. Dipper reached into his vest to consult the journal.

"Hmmm. Well, it doesn't look like it wants to move, but it's probably no more than a class 1-maybe 3 ghost, so there's nothing to worry about." He tried to push the ghost, only for all three of their souls to appear.

"What to we do?" Dipper asked.

"I don't know, say hi."

"Ok, hi there Mr. ghos… AHHH!"

Suddenly the Ghost began to cry; its tears flying towards them, only narrowly being able dodge them.

"Hey hey, it's ok Mr. Ghost, don't be sad." Mabel said to the ghost as she attempted to cheer it up, "You don't have to be sad." She gave the ghost a patient smile. It chuckled, but the tears on the floor began to spell out 'really not feeling up to it right now. Sorry."

"Hey Mabel, it might be working. Hey uhh, what's your name?"

"Napstablook."

"Napstablook." Dipper chuckled. "Why did the ghost not go to the party? Cause he had no'body' to go with."

Napstablook gave a small chuckle again, but it still cried all over them, a few tears hitting Frisk, only partially harming her. He soon stopped.

"Let me try…" He said before his tears went upward to his head, creating a top hat. Out of tears.

"I call it, 'Dapperblook'. Do you liiike iiit?"

"Yeah it is" frisk began to compliment him, "But anything would look good on you."

"oh nooo…" He stopped. "I usually come to the ruins because there's nobody around… but today I met some nice people. Oh, I rambling again, I'll get out of your way." He said sadly, but slightly happier than before, before disappearing.

The kids looked at each other, puzzled by what had just occurred.

"Did you seriously just flirt with a ghost."

"Yes. Flirting is another one of my talents."

"Why?"

Frisk shrugged her Shoulders, before they moved on to the next room, where it seemed that spider where selling some donuts and cider.

"Come on bro, let's get some Spider Doughnuts."

"I'd rather not Mabel. I'm pretty sure there are real spiders in those."

"Don't be ridiculous." Mabel said with a mouth full of Spider donuts, and spiders from said spider donuts, "Besides, all proceeds go to real spiders."

"Hmmm, I'll take two spider donuts please." Frisk asked. Some spiders crawled down a web handing her what she asked for as she left some coins in the web.

"I'll save these for later. Anyways, let's continue."

They walked on through the ruins, once again coming across some strange people and things, like some vegetable people, Cyclops monsters, Napstablook again, and even more puzzles, until they came across a large entryway. Inside was a dead tree, and behind that, a tidy house.

"Where are we?" Dipper asked. Suddenly, they heard a voice from behind the tree.

"Oh dear, that took longer than expected." It was Toriel. She picked up her phone, before she noticed the three standing mere meters away.
"How did you get hear children?" She asked worryingly.

"Fairly easily really." Mabel said before running up to the Motherly goat.

"Are any of you hurt? There, there, I will heal you. I should not have left you alone for so long. It was irresponsible for me to try and surprise you like this. Err… Well, I suppose I cannot hide it for much longer. Come small ones."

"Wait, where are we going? Dipper asked with confusion.

"Welcome, my Children, to your new home."

Welp, that's all for now. Stayed up at midnight to finish. Thanks. I'll keep you posted.
