Alright here is chapter 4, with Toriel's fight, and the Skelebros, chapter 5 will go up much quicker, because my What If chapter can work to make it SO much easier. Also to hollowgod88...how? I own nothing except my ideas.

Ash slowly woke up with a yawn, looking over, he saw Frisk was still sleeping. Ash saw a slice of pie saved for him and Frisk each, he grabbed his and walked out silently, a smile on his face.

He walked into the living room and saw Toriel on a rocking chair, reading a book with glasses on her face.

"Oh! Ash, I see your awake, did you have a nice nap"? Toriel asks.

"Yeah, thanks for saving us some pie". Ash thanks, sitting down in a chair across from Toriel, and starting to eat it.

"It's no problem, you two must have been exhausted from traveling the Ruins, I do not blame you". Toriel assures.

The two sat in comfortable silence as Ash ate.

"Hey...Toriel, how many humans have fallen down here"? Ash asks.

"...Counting you and Frisk, eight". Toriel answers.

"Where are they"? Ash asked again, noticing Toriel's hesitance.

"...Dead". Toriel said dully.

Ash paled, very nearly dropping his slice. "D-Dead? What happened"? Ash asked in a panic.

Toriel sighed. "Ash...do you know the legends"? Toriel asks.

"What legends"? Ash asked, puzzled.

"So you don't. Well, there was a War between Humans and Monsters, the Humans won and locked us down here, no monster alive has a powerful enough SOUL to break the barrier, however...Human SOULS, are incredibly powerful, and persist after death, seven human SOULS...are required to break the barrier". Toriel explains.

As she continued, Ash got more and more paler, until he was snow white.

"So...the other 6...their SOULS are"? Ash assumed.

"Yes...they are in Asgore's custody, Asgore is the king of Monsters". Toriel answered.

"I see". Ash muttered.

"I don't want you or Frisk to leave...I can't risk you dying". Toriel mutters.

"Did...you ever have a kid of your own"? Ash asked.

Toriel frowned. "Yes...Asriel...and Chara, Asriel was my son by blood, Chara...was the first human that fell". Toriel explained.

Ash's eyes widened.

"We treated her as if she were our own, however one day...she became deathly ill, and died". Toriel muttered. "Asriel absorbed Chara's Soul and took her body across the barrier, to her hometown...and they thought he was the one who killed her". Toriel said, her tone sounding like she was about to cry.

Ash listened with rapt attention, and great pity.

"He came back with Chara's body, unable to give her peacefully, dust trailing from him...and he collapsed and died". Toriel finished, tears starting to form.

"Two kids in one day...I'm so sorry". Ash apologized, knowing it must have been horrible to bring up.

"It is fine, you did not know, now you see why I am trying to keep you two safe". Toriel says, looking at Ash.

"Yeah, always calling us for allergies and opinions, making sure the puzzles were safe...its justified". Ash agrees. "However...I think your being a little overbearing with it". Ash adds.

"I am"? Toriel asks.

"Yes, now don't get me wrong, your completely justified in your actions"! Ash said, putting his hands up upon noticing Toriel's face. "But...what if Frisk want's to go home"? Ash asked.

Toriel went silent. "What about you"? She asked.

"I...have ways to get home outside of the barrier". Ash answered sheepishly.

"Well...I see now". Toriel said, closing her book. "Your right, I may have become a bit overbearing, I am sorry...my expectations...my loneliness...my fear. For you and Frisk, if she asks, I will put them aside". Toriel assures with a smile.

"Thank you Toriel". Ash thanks with a smile, before his stomach rumbled.

"Oh! Are you still hungry? I have more pie". Toriel giggled out.

"Yes please". Ash said sheepishly.

3 hours later.

Ash sat in the same chair and laid there, he heard footsteps and saw Frisk walk in with a piece of pie in her hands, the bow in her hair.

"Hey Frisk, have a nice nap"? Ash asked with a grin.

"Yeah". Frisk responded, sitting on a chair and eating her pie".

Toriel walked in, noticing Frisk. "Oh! Frisk, your awake, it is nice to see you". Toriel says with a smile.

"Hi Toriel"! Frisk greeted with a smile.

"Are you enjoying your pie"? Toriel asks.

"Yes". Frisk responded, still eating.

Frisk went silent as she ate. Toriel and Ash exchanged glances as they realized what she may be thinking about.

"Toriel...when can I go home"? Frisk asked nervously.

Toriel took a deep breath, remembering what Ash said. "I cannot take you there, you must travel across the Underground to reach the Barrier...that is where you can leave, it will be dangerous...do you wish to do that"? Toriel asks.

Frisk glanced at Ash, who gave her a reassuring thumbs up. "Yes". She replied.

"Very well". Toriel said, getting up. "Please, follow me". She said, before walking out and downstairs, the other two following.

Toriel's face hesitated, but she kept remembering what Ash said. "I want them to be happy, regardless of my own feelings". Toriel mutters to herself.

They reached a door, where Toriel turned to them. "This is the exit to the Ruins...know that if you leave...please do not come back". Toriel said with tears in her eyes. "I'm sure you understand". She said.

Ash and Frisk nodded, looking like they were about to cry. The two walked forward and hugged her, which startled her...before she hugged them back.

"Please...be careful". She muttered.

"We promise". Ash assured, Frisk nodded.

"This is goodbye". Toriel says, before walking around.

"This isn't goodbye". Ash said. "Goodbye is when meant for when you never see them again, this is not goodbye". Ash said, before waving along with Frisk. "See you later, Toriel"! Ash and Frisk waved.

Toriel's eyes quivered as she saw two other kids in their place, she smiled and waved in return as the two opened the door and left. "See you later". She muttered, before leaving.

Ash and Frisk walked into another blank room, Flowey there.

"Flowey"! Ash shouted, Frisk hiding behind him in fear while he put a protective arm in front of her.

"Clever, verrrrrryyy clever". Flowey 'applauded' the two. "You think your really smart, don't you"? He asked, to Ash in particular.

"Well, we didn't share your outlook, that makes us smarter than you". Ash rebuts.

Flowey chuckled at Ash's wisecrack. "So you were able to play by your own rules, you managed to avoid a fight with Toriel, and you never hurt ANYONE so far". Flowey named off, surprising them, before it hit them.

He's been watching them.

"I bet you feel really great, being the goody two shoes you are". Flowey said with sarcasm. "But what happens if you meet a relentless killer"? Flowey asks.

"You mean you"? Ash retorted.

"Exactly, what will you do then? Will you just be nice and try to be their FRIEND?! Your in a world where Humans are hated, good luck with that". Flowey said, before vanishing.

Ash growled, frustrated with Flowey.

"Calm down Ash...we'll think something out". Frisk calmed.

Ash sighed. "Your right...let's get going". Ash said, before the two headed out.

Ash opened the door and shivered when he felt cold air hit him. The two stepped out and saw snow everywhere.

"Wow, sure is cold here". Ash muttered while holding his arms to warm himself, Frisk huddling beside him.

"Y-Yeah". Frisk shivered.

Ash let out a small puff of fire and glowed a bit, warming himself and Frisk. "There...that should help". Ash said before the two walked down the path. They saw a huge stick and stepped over it, walking down. Ash and Frisk jumped when they heard a loud 'SNAP!' they looked behind them and saw the stick had been broken in two, they gulped and slowly progressed forward, momentarily Ash heard another set of footsteps as they walked to a bridge with some structure above it. They stopped when they heard it.

Loud footsteps...and they were coming towards them.

The two froze as the footsteps came closer, before stopping right behind them.

"You two". The voice stated slowly. "Don't you know how to greet a new pal"? He asked. "Turn around, and shake my hand". He said, the two slowly turning around to see a figure cloaked in shadow, and standing on even height with Ash, they slowly held their hand out, Ash and Frisk hesitantly taking it.

Only to blink when the shadows faded, revealing a Skeleton in a blue hoodie, a loud farting noise echoing across the forest, revealing he had a whoopee cushion in his hand.

"Hehe, the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick, it never fails". The Skeleton said with a laugh, a permanent grin on his face. The two laughing a bit at it. "So, you two are humans right? That's hilarious". He said as he looked at them.

Ash looked like he wanted to say something, but shook it off.

"I'm Sans, Sans the Skeleton". The Skeleton named Sans greeted. "I'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now". He said, the two tensing up. "But...y'know, I don't really care about capturing anybody". Sans assures, causing the two to relax. "Now my Brother, Papyrus, he is a human hunting FANATIC". Sans said, causing the two to look nervous. "Hey, actually I think that's him over there". He said, pointing behind them.

The two turned and indeed saw a taller skeleton running towards them, he hasn't spotted them yet.

"I have an idea, go through this gate thingy". Sans said, gesturing to the gate. "Yeah, go on through, my bro made the bars too wide to stop anybody". Sans said with a chuckle.

The two walked through as Sans followed them, they saw a station and an odd lamp, along with a tree with spiked leaves.

"Quick, behind those conveniently shaped objects". Sans said, pointing to the lamp and tree.

Frisk ducked behind the lamp, which actually WAS conveniently shaped. Ash went behind the tree, which was the same.

The other skeleton finally ran in.

"Sup, bro"? Sans greeted.

"You know what's 'sup' brother"! The skeleton, most likely Papyrus, shouted. "It's been eight days, and you still haven't. Recalibrated. Your. Puzzles"! Papyrus punctuated. "You just hang around outside your station"! He continued. "What are you even doing"? He demanded.

"Staring at this lamp and tree, aren't they cool"? Sans asked, causing the two to tense up.

"NO! I don't have time for that"! Papyrus shouted. "What if a human comes through here"?! Papyrus asked. "I want to be ready! I will be the one, I must be the one"! Papyrus reminded, stomping the ground. "I WILL capture a human"! Papyrus shouted.

Ash listened as Papyrus listed off the perks he would get from capturing a human, the one that concerned him is that people would ask to be his friend...did he not have any?

"Hmm. Maybe this lamp and tree will help you". Sans said, bringing the two back into the conversation.

"SANS! You are not helping you lazybones"! Papyrus shouted. "All you do is sit and boondoggle"! Papyrus said, the two hidden kids laughing a bit at the word. "You get lazier and lazier everyday"! Papyrus chided.

"Hey, take it easy, I got a ton of work done today. A skele-ton". Sans punned. The two sweatdropping.

"SANS"! Papyrus shouted.

"Come on, you're smiling". Sans said, pointing to Papyrus' grinning face.

"I am and I hate it"! Papyrus said, before sighing. "Why does someone as great as me...have to do so much to get some recognition"? Papyrus asked himself.

"Wow, sounds like your really working yourself...down to the bone". Sans punned again.

"Ugh! I will attend to my puzzles, as for your work, put a little more...'backbone' into it". Papyrus punned as well. "NYEHEHEHEHEHEHE"! Papyrus laughed as he ran off.

The two were about to come out when Papyrus ran back. "HEH"! He finished before leaving.

"Okay you two, coast is clear". Sans assures as the two come out. "You two oughta get going, he might come back, and if he does...you'll have to sit through more of my hilarious jokes". Sans said with a wink.

The two laughed a bit and walked off, before Sans stopped them. "Actually, hey, hate to bother ya, but could you two do me a favor"? He asked.

"Sure, what do you need"? Ash asked.

"I've been thinking, my brother's been kinda down lately, he's never seen a human before. And seeing you two might just make his day". Sans said.

"Umm, are you sure that's a good idea"? Ash asked.

"Don't worry, he's not dangerous, even if he tries to be". Sans assures.

Ash and Frisk glanced at each other, before nodding. "Alright".

"Thanks a million, I'll be up ahead". Sans said...before going in the opposite direction.

The two sweatdropped, before heading off in the direction Papyrus went.

To be continued.

PSYCHE! YOU REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE THEM FIGHT TORIEL?! Yeah no. So Sans and Papyrus have made their appearance, with the two going to play along, what will happen? You probably know since the chapter is already on the 'What If' chapter, but I'm adding things. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
