Not long after they had left the Lab had Alphys started updating her status, flooding the girls' phones with notifications. They decided to ignore them so they could focus on the Hotland. It was less than safe for the two to be there. To get across platforms, they had to stand on vents of super concentrated air that would propel them forward.
"Frisk! I don't care how many times either of us have done this!" Chara said, staring at the vent in front of her. "There is no way I am doing this, it freaks me out! What if we get hurt, or thrown into the lava!"
Frisk didn't respond, stepped on the vent and was launched across. "Look Chara! Easy!" Frisk said.
Chara stared at her. "No! I'm not going to." Chara crossed her arms.
Frisk didn't know how to convince Chara. She thought for a moment, and then had an idea, a devious grin spreading across her face. "Oh well, Chara. I guess you'll have to stay here. Alone." She stressed the alone on purpose. "While I go ahead, and possibly get hurt without you to protect me! I need you!" Frisk started to walk forward. She added the "I need you" because she knew that was her ace in the hole.
Chara stared at her. There was no way she was going to be alone, and certainly no way she was going to let get hurt. "Frisk, wait!" She jumped on the vent and was launched across. She ran towards Frisk and hugged her from behind.
"Over your fear yet?" Frisk giggled.
"I was never scared!" Chara lied.
"Than what was that all about?" Frisk smiled, Chara hugging her tight.
Chara had a evil grin on her face. "Making sure you needed me, that's all!" Chara kissed Frisk's cheek gently.
Frisk knew she was lying, but didn't care. "I will always need you Chara."
Before the scene could get romantic, the moment was ruined by Frisk's phone ringing.
*RING RING*
"Alphys sure did make our phones loud with her, 'upgrade.'" Chara complained, and let go of Frisk.
Frisk looked at her phone.
*Papyrus is calling*
While she didn't like how loud the phones were now, she did like the Caller I.D., as Alphys called it. She opened the phone and answered.
"Hey Papyrus! How are you?" She answered happily.
"Put it on speaker," Chara said. Frisk selected the speaker option.
"HUMAN!" Papyrus said. "I AM FINE, AS ALWAYS! IS CHARA WITH YOU?"
"Greetings Papyrus, I'm here." Chara responded.
"GREAT! NOW I CAN TELL BOTH OF YOU AT THE SAME TIME." He continued. "HUMAN, DO YOU REMEMBER MY CALL FROM AWHILE BACK REGARDING UNDYNE?" He asked.
Chara looked at Frisk questioningly. "Yes, I do, about going to her house?" Frisk said.
"But Frisk!" Chara started, but was interrupted by Papyrus.
"WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT RIGHT NOW! MEET ME IN SNOWDIN!" Papyrus said, hanging up before they could answer him.
Chara crossed her arms as Frisk put away her phone.
"Lets go!" Frisk said. She held out her hand for Chara to grab, but she didn't. "Is something wrong?"
"Frisk. We can't go see Undyne! Are you mad? Or did you already forget what she tried to do to yo-To us?" Chara said looking at her disapprovingly.
"Chara, this is our chance to reconcile with her. We can show her we are friends!" Frisk smiled patiently at Chara. She knew Chara didn't like Undyne, but she was going to get them to be friends. "Besides Chara, I bet you'll really like her when you get to know her!"
Chara looked at Frisk smiling at her. That smile could make her day no matter what, and it was hard being mad looking at it. She uncrossed her arms, and grabbed Frisk's hand. She sighed. "Okay Frisk, I believe you. I will try to be her friend, but if she attacks us-" Chara started.
"She won't." Frisk interrupted her. "I promise it will go well." Frisk said, giving Chara another smile.
The smile warmed Chara's heart, more so than Hotland ever could, and she squeezed Frisk's hand. "I can't wait then." She said, smiling back at her.
*Time Skip*
"YOU'RE HERE!" Papyrus said gleefully. He clapped his hands.
"Ready to go?" Frisk said.
Papyrus looked them up and down. "HMM.. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT.." He stared harder. "YOU TWO ARE FILTHY!" He finally said, after a thorough inspection. "WE CAN'T GO SEE UNDYNE WITH YOU TWO LIKE THIS. COME INSIDE!" He ran towards the door super fast and opened it for them. Frisk admitted that they hadn't changed clothes or showered for awhile, they were just too busy.
Papyrus ran upstairs and ran a bath. "WE MUST GO QUICKLY, SO YOU TWO WILL NEED TO BATHE TOGETHER!" He said coming out of the bathroom. "I WILL GET SANS TO GET YOU SOME CLOTHES."
As he walked away in search for clothes, Chara looked and Frisk. She was madly red in the face.
"Frisk, you alright?" She asked.
"B-bathe together?" Frisk stuttered nervously. She had never bathed with someone before, and definitely not Chara.
"It's fine Frisk! Just wash and get out." Chara said.
"But.. we'll be... you know..." Frisk said quietly.
Chara hadn't thought about that, and blushed too. "Well. If you, um, want me to not look or something.. that's fine."
Before Frisk could answer, Papyrus came running down the stairs. "SANS YOU LAZY BONES, I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING! HUMANS, I WILL BE BACK WITH SOME CLOTHES!" He rushed out of the house, as Sans walked downstairs.
"heh. told him to go all the way to tori's. so, whatcha two doin here?" He asked, yawning.
Frisk was still flustered and didn't answer Sans. Chara spoke up.
"Papyrus wanted us all to go talk with Undyne."
"ah. say, what's wrong with frisk?" He said, looking at her.
Chara blushed. "Um, ah.. well. Papyrus said we needed to take a bath together, and she's a little nervous."
Frisk looked up and grabbed Chara's hand. She was filled with DETERMINATION!
She got up and dragged Chara to the bathroom.
"heh. wonder what that was about." Sans said, sitting on the couch, pulling a bottle of ketchup from his jacket and drinking it.
The bathroom was warm and the bathtub looked inviting. The clear water was warm, and stream arose off of it's glistening surface. Frisk wondered why Sans or Papyrus would need a bath tub, did skeleton's get dirty?
Frisk slowly took off her clothes. "C-Chara.. turn around."
Chara was wide eyed and her face was redder than a tomato. "Oh, y-yeah."
She turned around and undressed herself. Chara stepped into the tub and let the warm water surround her, relaxing her nerves and giving her a sense of calm. That is, until she saw Frisk. Her heart skipped so many beats she thought she'd die right there. Somehow, she was even more beautiful now, with nothing on.
Frisk stepped into the tub and felt the warm water. She sighed. "You staring at me like that is not making me comfortable, you know." Frisk was red, she pulled her knees up to her chest and held onto them.
Chara turned away, "S-sorry Frisk. You're just so beautiful." Chara's heart was still racing.
Frisk smiled, and was flattered Chara found her so pretty. "Not as beautiful as you.." She said quietly.
They heard a knock on the door. "HUMANS!" Followed by heavy breathing.
"Yes Papyrus?" Chara called back.
"I.. GOT YOUR.. *huff* CLOTHES! *puff* THEY ARE OUTSIDE... THE DOOR..." Papyrus said.
Frisk giggled softly at Papyrus, "Could you set them in here?" Frisk called back.
From the other side of the door, Papyrus blushed. "BUT... YOU TWO ARE.."
"It's fine, Papyrus, just close your eyes and set them down for us!" Chara said, giggling as well.
It was silent for a moment, and then they heard the door open slowly, and Papyrus walked in with on hand covering his eye sockets, and the other with their clothes. He knelled down and set the clothes on the floor. "HERE THEY ARE!" He said, quickly running out the bathroom. Shutting the door. Chara and Frisk laughed at Papyrus' nervousness.
"Well, Frisk, we shouldn't keep him waiting, lets clean up and get out." Chara said, grabbing the soap next to her.
"Y-yeah."
The two washed and rinsed themselves off and got out of the tub. Chara couldn't help but get a few side glances and Frisk. She was too pretty to not look at. They grabbed separate towels and dried off. They put on their clothes, and walked out.
Frisk was still red, and Chara was smiling. Chara leaned in close and whispered, "We should do that again." Flirting with Frisk.
"C-Chara!" Frisk said.
Papyrus looked at the two and smiled. "YOU TWO ARE FINISHED! LET'S GO!" Getting up from the couch with Sans, and running to the door.
Chara grabbed Frisk's hand.
*Another Time Skip*
"STAND BEHIND ME! I DIDN'T ACTUALLY TELL HER YOU TWO WERE COMING OVER!" Papyrus said.
Chara got wide eyed. She thought Undyne knew they were coming, what was she going to do when she saw them in her own home uninvited?
"Frisk, this doesn't seem like a good idea anymore!" Chara said.
"Why all the sudden you don't want to go?"
"I didn't know she wasn't aware we were coming!"
"It will be fine, don't worry." Frisk reassured her.
"OH, AND GIVE HER ONE OF THESE!" Papyrus held up a bone wrapped in yellow with a red bow. "SHE LOVES THESE" He handed it to Frisk.
He knocked on her door.
Chara took a moment to look at her house. It looked like a giant fish with impressive sizing teeth as the door. The fish had giant scales and windows that resembled big evil eyes.
The door opened and Undyne was standing there, looking at Papyrus. She didn't notice the girls. She smiled wide. "Hi, Papyrus! Ready for your extra private, one-on-one training?"
Papyrus smiled wide, as always. "YOU BET I AM! AND I BROUGHT SOME FRIENDS!" Papyrus moved to the side to reveal Frisk and Chara standing there.
"Hi, I don't think we've..." She looked at them and realized who they were. She became angry, but looked at Papyrus. She didn't want to blow her cool in front of him. "Why dont. You three. Come in." She said through gritted teeth.
Chara took Frisk's hand, feeling intimidated.
They walked in.
Undyne had a very cozy looking home. She had her kitchen, complete with a big stove and a large fridge and sink, with a long counter. Her table, which had no chairs but comfortable sitting pillows was in front of the kitchen. (I don't care if it is actually stools, just read the story) To the left was a large black piano, Chara wondered if Undyne was good at playing. Her wallpaper was blue with pink fish, and she had tiled floors.
"LOOK UNDYNE! MY FRIENDS BROUGHT YOU A GIFT ON THEIR OWN!" Frisk handed Undyne the wrapped bone. She knew it was really from Papyrus.
"Uh... thanks, I'll put it with the others." She opened a drawer full of the bones and threw it in.
"So are we ready to start?" She said impatiently.
Papyrus looked to the side suspiciously. "WHOOPSIE DOOPSIE. I JUST REMEMBERED, I HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM. YOU THREE HAVE FUN!" He sprinted towards the window and did a spectacular flip right out of it, leaving everyone stunned.
Undyne looked at them. She didn't feel angry anymore, but instead, she felt sad. "So, why are you two here? Come to run your victory in my face? To humiliate me even further? IS THAT IT?" She yelled at them.
"No Undyne! We came here to talk to you, and be friends!" Frisk spoke up. Chara didn't want to talk.
"I don't want to be friends with either of you brats." Undyne spat out.
Chara was about to say something, when she heard Papyrus. "WELL, I GUESS I THOUGHT YOU COULD I BE FRIENDS! I WAS WRONG, I GUESS UNDYNE WASN'T UP FOR THE CHALLENGE!" He said, then he ran off.
"CHALLENGE!" Undyne roared. "You think I can't be friends with these two? HA!" She laughed. "I make them so in love with me, they'll feel so STUPID for their previous actions! It's the perfect revenge!"
Chara didn't know how to react. Frisk giggled.
"Why don't you two have a seat!" She said politely, gesturing to the table.
They sat down, and realized the pillows where extremely comfortable.
"Comfortable? Let me get you girls something to drink!" She placed items on her counter. Sugar, Soda, Tea, and Hot Chocolate. Chara barely moved, when suddenly Undyne threw a spear at the table, scaring Chara.
"HEY! DON'T MOVE, YOU'RE THE GUEST, SIT DOWN AND BE COMFORTABLE!" She reassessed herself quickly, calming down. "Why don't you just point to what you want, you can use the spear."
Chara's heart was pounding, but Frisk held her hand to calm her down and gave her a warm smile. "What do you want Chara?"
"Hot chocolate sounds pretty good.." Chara said.
Frisk pointed towards the hot chocolate. "You want Hot Chocolate? Wait. Wait. I forgot, that container's empty. I stopped buying it because it was such a hassle! Asgore kept getting the marshmallows stuck in his beard!" She laughed.
Frisk pointed towards the tea, raising an eyebrow at Chara. "Yeah, that's fine too."
"...tea huh? Coming right up!" She made them the tea, and brought over their cups, and sat down across from them. Chara took a sip. It was scalding hot, but other than that, it was delicious. She could faintly remember the taste of the tea, it reminded her of something.
"Hey.." Undyne said after some silence. "It's kinda strange you chose THAT tea. Golden Flower Tea... It's Asgore's favorite."
Chara could remember now. She used to drink this tea with Asgore, Toriel and... Asriel... after a long day, and tell stories,
"Actually, now that I think about it," Undyne continued. "You two kind of remind me of him." She laughed. "You're both total weenies!" "...sort of." She sighed. "Y'know. I was a pretty hot headed kid. Once, to prove I was the strongest, I tried to FIGHT Asgore. Emphasis on TRIED. I couldn't land a single blow on him!" She looked to the side. "And what's worse, he refused to FIGHT back the entire time. I was so humiliated..."
She looked down, but remembered something and looked right back up. "And then, he said something goofy.." She giggled slightly and mocked Asgore in a deep voice, "'Excuse me, would you like to know how to defeat me?' I said yes, and from then on, he trained me! One day, during practice, I finally knocked him down. I felt... bad. But he was beaming! I had never seen someone so proud to get their butt kicked!" She laughed a little more. "Anyway, long story short, he kept training me, and now I'm the head of the Royal Guard."
The girls had already known that, from Papyrus, but kept listening.
"So I'm the one who gets to train dorks to FIGHT!" Her smile faltered. "... like, uh, Papyrus. But.. to be honest, I don't know if I can ever let him into the Royal Guard." She looked at them, and quickly said, "Don't tell him I said that! He's just... he's too... it's not that he's not strong, he's actually pretty freaking TOUGH! It's just that, he's... just.. too innocent and nice! I mean, LOOK, he was supposed to capture you, and instead ended up being friends with you two! I could never send him into battle. That's part of why, I started teaching him to cook. So maybe he can do something else with his life."
Chara became sad upon hearing this. She knew it was Papyrus's dream to be in the Royal Guard, and now she knew he never stood a chance.
"I'm sorry. I can't do this." Undyne started. "I tried my hardest! I can't be friends with you two.. I'm not a good hostess."
"Why not Undyne?" Frisk asked.
"It's obvious you two are intimidated by me, there is no way you'd want to be my friend."
Chara actually spoke before Frisk could.
"Undyne, we would love to be friends with you! Let's put the past behind us and just all be friends, what do you say?"
Undyne looked at the girls and laughed, but it wasn't a sarcastic laugh, it was a laugh from the heart. "Alright you dorks! I'll be your friend!" She got up excitedly. "AND I'LL BE THE BEST FRIEND YOU'LL EVER HAVE!" She laughed even more, triumphantly.
The girls had wished Undyne a farewell, and headed to the direction of the River Person to take them back to Hotland.
Frisk pulled closer to Chara and grabbed her arm, wrapping her hands around it, trying to get as close to Chara as she could. "I'm so happy you want to be friends with her, Chara. I knew you'd give her a chance." Frisk said happily.
Chara smiled and blushed slightly. "She wasn't bad once we got to know her." Chara said. "I'm just happy you are happy, Frisk."
She turned around quickly, surprising Frisk, making her let go of Chara's arm. She grabbed Frisk's waist and pulled her in close, making Frisk turn red.
"And that's all that matters to me." She said, getting closer to Frisk's face. "I love you," she whispered, and kissed Frisk gently on the lips.
Frisk hugged Chara close and kissed back, closing her eyes, and letting the warmth she felt flow through her body. She was in paradise and never wanted to release this kiss.
The gentle sounds of the Waterfall area and the beautiful lights added to it all, making this their best kiss so far.
*Befriending Undyne fills you with DETERMINATION*
*The beauty and perfectness of this moment, fills you both with LOVE*
