"I'm Flowey! Flowey the Flower!" he continued on with his happy-go-lucky voice.

"Hmmm…" he pauses, his gaze held on you. "You're new to the underground, aren'tcha?"

The underground? Is what this place is called? The flower kept his eyes on you, waiting for you to answer. You shuffled your feet as you and the child nodded, uncomfortable by his eye contact.

It chuckled, "Golly, you must be so confused! Someone ought to teach you how things work around here!" He brought his leaves to his stem, pointing to himself, "Guess little old me will have to do."

"Ready?"

Suddenly, you felt a tightness in your chest. It felt like an elephant was sitting on you. It was almost unbearable until you heard an audible *pop* and what appeared in front of you was a. . .green cartoonish heart? It emitted its green glow, hovering and stay close to your chest from where it came from. Looking down at the child's heart, it was a different color than yours, instead of your green heart, it was red. They looked back at you, bewildered.

"See your hearts?" He said, bringing back both of yours attention, "That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being!" You raised your eyebrow at that, why would you bring out such a sensitive organ if it's so important to you?

"Your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV." Flowey started to explain. LV? What is this, a video game?

"What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of course!" You snickered at the cheesiness at that. "You want some LOVE, don't you?" he asked. Before you could answer his question, he kept on going, "Don't worry, I'll share some with you!" He then winked, and if this was an anime, you would've even seen a tiny star come from it.

Tiny pellets shoot from behind the flower and started to float around him. "Down here, LOVE is shared through. . ." He trailed off, looking to his side as if in thought, ". . .Little white 'friendliness pellets' . . ." Well, he doesn't seem to be that bad, you thought to yourself, he looks nice enough.

"Are you ready?" He asked, you started to braced yourself, "Move around! Get as many as you can!" The pellets started to focus towards you and the child. You reached out to grab a few drifting towards you, but when you went to grabbed one, excruciating pain shot up from your arm to rest of your body.

You cried out in pain, nearly toppling over and grasped your throbbing arm. You felt your hand start to bruise up, the sharp pain traveling up to the rest of your arm. Checking on the child, they also fell into the flower's trap, on the ground holding their bruising arm. They glared at the flower, gritting their teeth.

"YOU IDIOTS," The once happy flower's grin has now shaped into a maniacal one, grin reaching petal to petal. His once shrill and merry voice was almost nonexistent as it was now gravely and demonic. "In this world, it's kill or BE killed." Flowey rasped out. "Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this!?"

You mentally facepalmed yourself, of course, how could you be this stupid? Now you're actually going to die from some talking flower and rot in a cave where no one could find your body. You wondered if anyone would miss you in the first place.

As you were zoning out, you didn't even notice the tiny pellets starting to surround you and the child. It wasn't until your companion shook you out of your trance that you noticed and let out a shocked cry.

"Die." Flowey proclaimed.

He then let out a hellish shrill laugh as the bullets started to slowly edge towards you both. You threw your arms around the child, trying to hopelessly shield them from the pellets. The child grabbed back just as desperately, shivering, just waiting for death to come.

The bullets started to approach both of you closer and closer and you closed your eyes tightly, bracing for what was to come and briefly wondered if your friends back on the surface were able to get the fire going without you.

So you both waited for the bullets to finally kill you and the child off, but the time it took was starting to become unbearable. Were you already dead? You peeked one eye open and looked around the room and realized that the bullets have already disappeared and the exhausting pain around your body have strangely gone away.

Flowey was as confused as you were, and didn't realize a ball of fire in the shadows forming behind him and when it was finally conjured, blasted at him. He didn't realize it until last second when it struck him, rooting him out of the ground and thrown off somewhere in the room. You didn't get to see where he landed and you didn't really care to be honest. Looking back where the ball of fire came from, your savior started to come out of the shadows and approaching you two.

. . .They were a giant goat person? What other weird people are in this cave-no, the underground, as the flower said. Are there talking bunnies as well?

"Such a terrible creature, torturing such poor, innocent youths. . ." She murmured to herself.

Redirecting their attentions to the quivering mess which is you and the child, noticed your state, and started reconciled you two.

"Ah, do not be afraid children. I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins."

How many freaking names are there for this place?
