Frisk felt the sun shining brightly this morning, must have forgotten to close their blinds.
Opening their eyes, they saw Sans hanging above them.
"heya kid" Screaming, Frisk flailed as they fell from their bed and onto the wooden floor.
Not really… how they wanted the morning to go… Oh yeah! Monsters were on the surface, and have been for the past few months, 4 if they recall.
"Ow…" their floor-muffled voice reaching the skeleton.
"heh, seems the floor needed a hug, right?" He joked helping them up, rolling their eyes they shoed him out so they could get dressed.
"alright, alright, with all this shoeing your doing I'd think you didn't have a sole" He chuckled as Frisk did one final push and closed the door.
Sighing they wiped their forehead.
"Not even 12 minutes and you already pushed out the trash bag"
Yes but- hey! That's not nice!
Chara shrugged from across the room as they turned to the window, staring out to the mountain.
…
There is was again… this… urge, this urge to go to the mountain, to where the Barrier once stood all those months ago…
They didn't want to go but this urge was getting stronger and stronger each passing day.
Shaking their head, they yawned and walked over to their wardrobe, opened it, and picked out their new sweater, still purple and blue but new, their old one got trashed by some mean Humans last week.
Once they were changed into their sweater and shorts with their clothes thrown into a bin they exited the room, Sans wasn't in the hall.
They made a left and hit something, or, someone.
Both parties stumbled and fell. Frisk opened their eyes again, rubbing their head and saw Asriel, their brother a foot away from them doing the same.
"Oh, sorry Azzy, didn't see you there, heh" Asriel stood up and extended Frisk a hand for help, they took it and stood up as well.
"It's all right Frisk, I wasn't either, you going downstairs?" They nodded as Chara walked up behind them, they quickly waved to them and they did the same "Let's go then, I smell chocolate waffles!" Chara's bright red eyes lit up at that and rushed down before either child could take a step.
Both sighed and shook their head as they followed the chocolate crazed Human.
Once down the stairs the smell of cinnamon hit their nose and they rushed into the kitchen.
Toriel placed two cinnamon flavoured waffles onto a plate and slid it to where she heard tiny Human feet running.
Frisk smiled up to her and she ruffled their hair causing them to pout "Good morning my child, did you sleep well? I made some cinnamon waffles just for you knowing how much you love them" Frisk smiled, thanked her and took the plate, sitting in between Chara and Sans.
Asriel sat on the other side of Chara and took a bite of a waffle, most likely a chocolate one.
Frisk cut apart a part the breakfast and put it in their mouth, smiling as the cinnamon flavoured Monster magic food dissolved on their tongue.
"seemccamon is enjoying their breakfast" Sans punned taking a drink from a bottle of ketchup.
Asriel groaned from the pun while Frisk, Chara, and Toriel laughed.
"Oh hehe, it also seems like you are breaking the fast on your puns" Sans chuckled but other than that no one else laughed.
"Oh come on my children, that was funny!" A few second later she huffed and acted offended by crossing her arms and looking away.
"aw don't mind them Tori, they don't have a sans of humor is all" That got Toriel to laugh.
"Now hurry my children, it is almost time for school, you do not want to be late now do we?" Toriel ushered Asriel into the houses main hall as Sans grabbed a chocolate bar from Chara's coat pocket.
"Hey!" "sorry kid, Tori said no chocolate for you at school, you know what happened last time…" Sans turned around and disappeared around a corner.
Grumbling they walked up to Frisk.
As they came up Frisk turned around to them and tilted their head to the side.
"I'm all right… looks like I'm getting no chocolate today… hmm…" They stroked an imaginary beard "I think one of the kids brings chocolate on Fridays, yeah!" Frisk furrowed their brows and pouted to Chara.
"Nope, not gunna work this time! Let's go!" Chara marched forward grabbing Frisks hood dragging them along.
Asriel opened and closed the door once everyone was out.
As they walked down the side walk to school they saw other kids walking, mainly Monsters but some with Humans and some children going to school.
Monster district for ya!
At one point Chara wanted to buy a nice cream but this time Frisk dragged them by their hood away, "Oh, see ya later!" the nice cream guy said as they left the cart.
As they walked Frisk stopped and turned to the side, staring at the mountain.
A few second later Chara noticed a distinct lack of a certain pacifist and stopped Asriel. "Woah, what's wrong Chara?" He asked.
Chara turned around and saw Frisk staring at the mountain, Mt. Ebott.
"That…" They said quietly as they walked towards Frisk.
Once they started walking Frisk fell to their knees, holding their head, whimpering. Their eyes clenched shut as they looked towards the ground.
Come This way
You must…
Follow…
Listen to our voices
Frisk…
We must
The words raced through Frisks mind as they silently wished them to stop.
"Frisk! Frisk are you okay?!" The voice… Chara's.
"Frisk answer me, what's happening" The urge… no, they don't want to!
Their feet unwillingly tried to make them stand up but Asriel caught them and made them sit. Whatever was controlling their legs stopped as it realised it wouldn't win right now.
"Frisk, what's wrong, please, tell us" Asriel asked desperately.
Slowly Frisk raised their hand and pointed forward, their siblings looked to where they were pointed to. The mountain.
"The mountain, what's so speci- AH!" Chara fell to their side as they held their head, the same words rushing through their mind, telling them I go to the mountain.
Frisk faintly heard the murmuring of by standers as they clutched their head.
Once the pain was less, still not bearable was less, they opened one eye open and extended their arm.
They knew why this was happening but… they didn't want to go… they knew only one option.
Two words floated in front of them, two options.
RESET Continue
Asriel gasped as he saw Frisk reach for the RESET button, he grabbed their hand to try and stop them but with an unknown strength they continued, desperately poking their fingers forward at the button as the pain increased.
Finally, they pressed it.
And all in an instant, the pain disappeared, but a new pain was going to- OW!
Yup… falling.
They already knew, they were on a bed of golden flowers.
They tried to speak to Chara.
* …
They got no response but knew they were there. They walked onto Flowey.
Once they got to him a vine instantly wrapped around their feet as Flowey appeared in front of them.
"Why did you RESET Frisk?! We could have helped you! What was happening couldn't been so bad that you… you… RESET…" They felt the vines loosen.
"W- was it something I did… something someone did? Is it our fault?" Tears fell from Flowey's eyes onto the ground.
Even if Flowey can't feel emotions, at the start of a RESET his Soul hasn't fully… left him so he was remnants of emotions for a few minutes.
As they could walk they went up to Flowey and hugged him, the flower crying onto their shoulder.
"No… it wasn't" Was all Frisk said before Flowey burrowed away, Toriel walking in.
…
" ?" Before he could say anything more Frisk turned around and extended a hand, the person doing the same.
Um…
No whoopee cushion in the hand trick? But it's always funny!
"yeah, no trick, I'll just straight to the point kid, what happened, get bored on your walk?" They shook their head "then what? know what, not now, we'll talk at Grillby's" Both walked to the next area, Frisk hiding behind the lamp.
Frisk passed by Sans in Waterfall, he offered to go out to Grillby's, they denied and continued walking.
Chara hadn't spoke unless an action needed it.
…
Frisk entered the Judgment Hall.
"So, you've finally made it" The dark Sans like figure said.
"Not gunna do this shpel since you know it already and you've been avoiding me since Waterfall, what gives?" The darkness disappeared and Sans stuffed his hands into his pockets.
Frisk stepped forward.
Sans sighed "not gunna say? ok, we'll talk later, good luck" he disappeared leaving just them in the Hall alone, they continued walking.
…
The giant screen flashed as the light blue Soul speared on it, knifes.
Please…
It said before they pressed ACT, the orange Soul on screen now.
Listen Frisk…
It disappeared as they went back to Flowey.
The rest of the Soul segments went by, each of them pleading them to listen by some words less then fours every time.
As the screen fizzled the yellow Soul disappeared, all six coming out of it and flying to them and Chara, who had made themselves known but didn't talk.
As the Souls threw healing they spoke two at a time.
This is…
What we…
Must do…
They now spoke in unison.
We must
They went back to Flowey and slashed at him.
…
ASRIEL DREEMURR
The words faded as Asriel raised his arms, stars falling from the sky.
As stars fell they jumped left and right, gingerly stepping forward as one grazed their back.
No one spoke aside from Asriel with his regular lines.
…
"I want to stay with you…" They said quietly as they looked away from the mountain into the sunset.
Toriel smiled and wordlessly took theirs and Chara's hands, leading both down the mountain. Asriel left with Asgore.
…
Chara had gone missing a month ago…
When they left, all they left was a note by Frisks bed side with a rushed drawing of a mountain.
It had been four months, four months since they, Chara and Asriel released Monsters from their rocky prison.
From how Sans and Asriel acted they had either forgotten about them RESETTING last on their walk or decided to drop the topic completely.
It was May 11th 201X, Thursday night. One day before they last RESET from the… pain…
Frisk sat on their bed, staring at the wall in front of them, a half-filled backpack beside them. They knew if they stayed they would RESET again tomarrow so, they wouldn't stay.
Standing up Frisk grabbed the backpack by the strap and slung it over their arm.
They turned to the window which looked out to Mt. Ebott, their Soul pulsed with the need to leave, they listened to it.
Turning to their bedroom door they walked to it, opening it they saw Sans. Stepping back Sans did the same.
"what ya doing up kid? ain't t like… 11?" His pinpricks moved to their back seeing the pack on it one of his eye sockets closed a bit in confusion "what's the pack for?" Frisk shifted nervously.
Sans moved forward as they stepped back, he held his hand out. Looking down Frisk removed the bag and reached it handed it to him.
As Sans took it he gestured them to sit down as he did in a nearby chair.
As Sans sat down and opened the bag Frisk stood by the bed. He pulled out some bagged fruit and a sandwich.
Looking at the items curiously he threw them on the bed.
A tinge of pain surfaced in Frisks head "what's the food for? no school stuff so you're not going anywhere for that, only thing I can think of is your running away, why?" He asked, sadness in his voice.
Frisk stared down at the floor again, nodding slightly as they briefly glanced at the open door.
As fast as they could they bolted to the door only for orange bones to shoot up from the ground, blocking the path, the bones turned blue.
They franticly turned to Sans. His arm extended as a light blue aura around it.
"now's not the time for running kid, you know how much of a lazybones I am" He lowered his arm but the bones stayed.
Sans sighed and ran a hand over his face "kid… please, why were you going to run, not just now but, the bag… Paps, Tori, Undyne and Alph, we'd all be heart broken if you were gone, and I don't even have a heart" he chuckled.
A tear ran down Frisks face as they shook their head.
They mumbled something.
"what? I couldn't hear" They mumbled again.
Frisk looked around, eyes landing on something ignoring it for now.
"kid, please, I can't hear you, can you sign it?" More tears ran from their eyes.
"Can't!" They yelled turning around and running to the window, jumping they made themselves as small as possible before they smashed through the window.
As they landed on the ground a different pain went through them, not the head pain but… all over.
Well that's what happens when you jump through a second story houses window.
Slowly standing up the turned their head to their bedroom window
Sans stood at the broken hole, eyes empty. He tried to reach forward turn their Soul blue and bring them back but before he could Frisk was already standing and running away, towards the mountain.
From the view Sans could see that they were deliberately taking a route to the mountain he hadn't been down so he couldn't just take a shortcut to them.
Knowing he couldn't catch them he turned away from the window and walked out of the room, pulling out his phone and dialing some everyone. He was gunna need some help.
