I woke up the next day feeling sore all over, especially my back and leg. The supposed "feelings" I had yesterday faded and gone from my thoughts entirely. I head to the bathroom to look at one source of the pain. After that little surprise attack she pulled, I never bothered to drink a potion, I guess the adrenalin kept me from noticing the pain after the battle. It'll leave a scar, but I don't really care, what I do care about, is how I let her live. She wounded me, and that would have been a death sentence for anyone. I sigh and pull my shirt back down and dig through my inventory for an elixir to stave off the pain. Checking my panels, I make my way to the grey room to grab my assignment, and get today's mission over with.

"You'll be doing a little more recon in the recently discovered world called mount ebbot, we have reason to believe that the world is in the middle of a major change and we need someone to keep an eye on it," Saix just droned on with recommended panels and rewards for this mission, I wasn't listening, I stopped when I heard the word ebbot. My "heart" fluttered in my chest and the feelings I had yesterday started rushing back.

I simply nod my head, grab the assignment sheet, and corridor out of there, trying not to rush. I came out of a corridor near the training spot and I heard the tale tell noises of a certain fish beating on something. I consider going over there, but I gotta finish my mission...unless...I could use her, she would know what this big change is all about. I creep my way over to the edge of the clearing and spot her bashing on a dummy, which for some reason, looked as if it were in pain, somehow.

"Hey," I nonchalantly call out, even though it like my chest was about to burst at the sight of her,"what're you up to?"

She seemed to slip up a little when she heard my voice. She turned and was readying a spear to whoever was intruding, but stopped when she saw it was me.

"Oh, just training, and what about yourself, I wasn't expecting to see you until tomorrow?"

"Well, I'm new around here, and I was wondering if you could show me around, and tell me more about the history of monsters and humans."

"I didn't take you for a nerd," she said jokingly.

"And I didn't take you for a person to plan out a sparing match all night" I threw back with a smile playing on my lips.

Her face went slightly more blue, which I assumed was a blush,"well...I don't...I didn't," she tried to find a response but couldn't. She just sighed and said,"Fine, I'll show you around" she got rid of her spear and gestured for me to follow her.

She showed me around the town and guided me around the mountain that wasn't too far off. She had explained that monsters had been trapped in said mountain for hundreds of years after they were defeated in a war with the humans. And that a human child named Frisk had released them a couple years ago, but there's been trouble because of anti-monster groups. And that a lot of monsters are getting into government positions to help fight off these groups.

"There's been a lot of change, and we're all still adjusting," she said with a sad smile,"but I'm confident that things will work out fine!"

I do admit, I respect her confidence and bright outlook. after a whole tour of the town we decided to stop by a bakery/cafe run by a monster named Muffet. We picked up some spider doughnuts and coffee and made our way back to the practice spot.

"Go ahead, try one," she handed me a spider doughnut. And I gave a questioning glance. I'm a little hesitant on eating something made of spiders.

She cracked a grin and said,"what? Are you chicken?" She started to making little clucking noises and flapped her arms like a chicken.

Okay that's it, bracing myself, I break off a peace and pop it into my mouth...and, it's not half bad. I relax and finish the rest of the doughnut.

"See, not so bad is it? Muffet is the best baker here in Ebbot. And her coffee is the best, I don't know what I'd do every morning without it."

I glance at the cup I bought, I hadn't touched it since I got it. I bring it up to my lips and give a small sip, and my taste buds nearly explode. I hadn't tasted coffee this good since...since I was a somebody at Radient Garden...I took another sip, a little desperately.

Undyne chuckled at my little reaction,"yeah that was my first reaction to it too."

We sat there for hours talking, making idle chitchat, even joking, after a while we ran out of things to talk about and we just sat there. I hadn't felt like this in years, I don't think I can make myself RTC, but, the organization would hunt me down if I didn't.

"Well, I guess I should go now," I say letting out a sigh,"it's getting pretty late."

"Yeah, I guess it is," she agreed but I could see a hint of disappointment in her voice,"see you tomorrow?"

"Of course, you think I'd chicken out on our fight?"

She gave a toothy grin and shook her head,"nah"

We say our goodbyes and we head our separate ways, at least for today. The urge to turn around and get another look at her was nearly overwhelming, but I just kept walking to the corridor. Once I was back at the castle I go to bed almost immediately after a quick snack, the faster j fall asleep, the faster tomorrow comes...and the faster I can see her again.
