The rest of the day was just a blur after that for Frisk, she barely even noticed the kid next to her in history getting a detention for throwing paper airplanes at her, all she could think about was Flowey and what he was gonna do now that he had escaped, and in a school ground no less! He had been talking about taking SOULs after all.
"Frisk, are you ready to go home?" Toriel asked snapping Frisk out her stupor. "And where's Flowey?" "He escaped." Frisk dead panned. "I have no idea where he is." "What." Toriel said. "When did he escape?" "Right after lunch." Frisk replied.
They both remained silent for the remainder of the drive home.
Frisk went up to her room upon arriving home and went sleep before even unpacking her bag. She had another dream almost immediately.

She was back in the ruins, right in front of the door where she had met, what was his name? Ah yes, Gaster. She opened the door to find him standing there. She held out her hand and touched him, he jumped, his eyes wide open, and then he slowly faded away and she put her hand back down but not before she noticed her hand was, furry, and soft? Then realized who she was dreaming as this time.

She woke up gasping with a big smile on her face, she knew where to go to find him.
In about three minutes she had gotten dressed and was out the door. Running up Mt. Ebbot again proved to be easier then last time now that she knew the way to the Hotlands much more fluently. In less then ten minutes she was already at the river persons stop, but they weren't there, all that was there was the boat itself. She quickly got on the boat and said. "Snowdin please!" And the boat took off, but without a driver it took a little bit to get started.
Soon she got to the ruins and quickly opened the door and, running into them she heard footsteps, quiet, but still clearly the footsteps of someone with furry feet.
Frisk turned a corner to find Asriel locking up the strange puzzle she has noticed last time she went down there. "Asrie-" Frisk started to say but was cut off by a cyan aura appearing around her. "shhhh." Sans said quietly from behind her. "how do you know that's the real asriel?" "I just do sans, stop it she whispered back." And he let her go. She turned around but he wasn't there anymore. "Asriel!" She shouted out for real this time. "Asriel!"
He turned around, he was still in his young form Frisk noted, except in the six months he appeared to have been stuck underground for he had started to grow his horns, they were barely visible.
"Frisk! What are you doing here?!" He asked.
"I'm here to take you to the surface!" Frisk exclaimed. "Mom doesn't even know your stil-" but she was interrupted by Toriel running past her and hugging Asriel, tears running down her face. "Mom!" Frisk said. "How did you-!" But was cut off by Undyne saying from behind her. "Alphys noticed you leaving your room on her cameras and followed you all the way to the Hotlands with one of her drones!"
At hearing Undyne's voice she turned around to find Undyne, Papyrus, Sans and Alphys standing behind her. "How did you all get here so fast?!" She asked over the sound of Toriel and Asriel meeting each other for the first time in years.
"WELL, FRISK." Papyrus said. "SANS LEAD US THOUGH ONE OF HIS, SHORTCUTS OR WHATEVER THEY ARE AND NOW WE ARE HERE! TO PROTECT YOU FROM WHATEVER DANGERS MIGHT STILL BE LURKING IN THE UNDERGROUND!"
"don't worry there's nothin'" Sans said. "come on, time to head back to the surface." And at that they all stood and walked through the entrance of the ruins only to find themselves just inside of the Dreemurr household. "Okay punks!" Undyne said trying to hold back tears of joy at the reappearance of the long lost prince. "Bedtime! Reunion tomorrow!" And with that she one by one herded everybody to they prospective sleeping location parking and then herself on the couch.

… … …

The next morning Frisk woke up to the swell of Toriel's signature cinnamon breakfast muffins. She checked her alarm clock and realized she had gotten up two minutes before her alarm would go off, she quickly turned it off and ran downstairs. "Good morning mom." She said sleepily as she turned into the kitchen. "Good morning Frisk, are you ready for school?" "School?" "Yes, Frisk, school." "But, Asrie-" "today is the second day of school Frisk." Toriel said patiently. "You are not missing the second day of school. And as for Asriel," she started tearing up again. "Well, he's going to go to the elementary school right next door."
"Hi mom, hi Frisk." Said a sleep disheveled and frankly adorable Asriel from the kitchen doorway. "What's for breakfast?"
After some back and forth on the subject of breakfast and how happy they were to see Asriel alive Frisk had to go to catch the school bus.
As soon as she stepped on it she heard a voice from the back. "And! Frisk! Come sit with us!" Frisk sighed and went to sit in the back with the 'popular girls'
The bus stopped and Frisk stepped out, readying herself for another day of school.
