Splashing along the watery corridor, Bonbon hummed along with the gentle echos of the musical statue.
"Yo! You got an umbrella?" Bonbon stopped in her tracks and noticed Monster Kid standing near the walls of the cave, shielding himself from the rain. She nodded her head.
"Awesome!" MK went under her umbrella. Bonbon, standing on her tips of her toes, stretched her arms as high as they could go, Mk still had to duck quit a bit. Under the umbrella, MK came face to face with a very annoyed Flowey. "Uh...kinda cramped under here, new kid."
"You think!?" MK jumped out as Flowey almost bit his face.
"Wait! I have an idea!" MK bent down in front of Bonbon," You can sit on my shoulders!" Bonbon smiled at his idea and carefully went and set herself on top his shoulders. "Hold on tight!" With one arm, she held tightly onto his head while holding the umbrella with the other hand. "Alright! Let's go!" Hugging MK'S head, she quietly listened to his stories, happy for the free ride.
MK was glad to see the new kid enjoying his stories. Most people would usually ignore him or tell him to stop. But what he secretly enjoyed the most was how light the new kid was. She made him feel strong. Which was big for him, seeing how he couldn't really lift much. Not having arms comes with a few disadvantages. He doesn't really mind though.
"Undyne really does sound cool!" MK looked slightly up as she spoke.
" I know right!"
"What are you planning to do when you do see her?"
"Watch her fight the human of course! Or even better! Maybe she'll let me help her!" Bonbon giggled at his excitement. "What about you?" Bonbon rested her chin ontop of his head as she thought for a bit.
"Try not to die...too much." MK stopped walking as he thought about what she had said.
"I doubt you'll die from just meeting her. I know she's epic and all..." he said letting out a small chuckle, which caused Bonbon to laugh as well. Hearing her laugh, he began shaking his head back and forth. Holding tighter on his head, Bonbon's laughter grew. Both tired from laughing, they continued to walk in silence, enjoying each others company. Leaving the cave, they passed a large lake were they could see the King's castle beyond the horizon.
"Cool isn't?" Bonbon nodded, agreeing with him.
"The stones really do look like stars." She sighed. The two watched the castle from a far, admiring stones above that twinkled brightly. Feeling that she was getting a little too quiet, MK continued their walk until they reached a ledge.
"You wanna meet Undyne right? Go up ahead!" Bonbon folded her umbrella and handed it over to MK before climbing over the ledge. MK holding the umbrella with his teeth, placed it near the basket of umbrellas near by. Bonbon layed on her stomach as she held out her hand towards him. MK refused.
"I don't think that's going to work new kid. Don't worry about me, I always find a way to get through!" He ran off, but not before tripping again.
"Brat, can we go now?"
"Kay~" Bonbon turned around and headed off.
Placing her hand on a star on the way, she entered the next corridor. Flowey started to fidget as the place grew more ominous. Bonbon's steps echoed through out the room as she walked across the wooden floor. Flowey then felt her abruptly stop.
"Hey! Why did...you" Bonbon looked underneath her foot.
"There...there's a lot of lights coming from under the floor."
"BRAT DON'T STEP ON THAT!" Bonbon removed her foot just before magical glowing spears shot up from below. "RUN YOU IDIOT! I'M NOT DYING HERE!" Just as Flowey had instructed her, she ran. Avoiding the lights beneath her, she caught a glimpse of the armored monster following her from the bottom floor. Distracted, a spear shot up and nicked her from the front. Staggering back, she noticed that it made a long tear on her chest .
"M..my dress..." Placing a hand on her chest, covering her wound.
"DON'T STOP! Who cares about your dress, just KEEP RUNNING!" Listening to Flowey she continued to run. She ran till she stood infront a dark void. Quickly turning around, the armored clad monster stood before her. Her heart thumped loudly against her ear. The monster summoned a spear and launched it as hard as she could. But instead of hitting Bonbon it landed on the floor near her. Breaking the wooden floor, Bonbon began to fall into the void. As she fell, she saw the monster let out a shriek of frustration. As she continued to fall, Flowey's pot began to slip. Hearing his scream, Bonbon reached for him, hugging him close her chest. Hearing water beneath her, she closed her eyes.
"Oh, you've fallen down, haven't you... are you ok? Here, get up. □□□□□ that's a nice name. My name is-□□□□□□"
Slowly Bonbon opened her eyes. As her vision started to focus, she noticed that she landed on a bed of yellow flowers. Staring up at where she had fallen down, she whispered "Flowey?"
"...what"
"I don't like falling."
"No duh, you idiot." Getting up, she brushed herself off. Looking around, she saw that she landed in a place filled with trash and water. Seeing how there was practically no floor. Placing Flowey back on her head, she asked, "you don't think the water is too deep, do you Flowey?"
"Sigh, you'll be fine." Walking to the ledge, she carefully entered the water. Trudging along, Flowey looked down at Bonbon's blood stained chest. "Doesn't that hurt?"
"What?"
"That wound on your chest. Kinda looks like it might sting."
"Hmm?" Entering the next room, she spotted another star. "Don't know...maybe being pummeled by Mr. Aaron hurted more." As she placed her hand on the star, her wounds started to heal.
"Ha! I knew you died before! If he killed you, why didn't you fight him!? Why haven't you tried to fight anyone so far!?" Walking to the next room, Bonbon shook her head.
"I told you already, I don't like fighting, and besides I can barely remember it."
"You're ...you're more of an idiot than I thought...aren'tcha?" Bonbon continued to trudge along till she spotted a dummy.
"Flowey? Are there alot of these dummies down here?"
"Why you ask?" Bonbon placed her hand on top of the dummies chest, feeling the stitches as she ran her small fingers across them.
"There was one in the Ruins..."
"Ghosts likes to inhabit them from time to time."
"Oh..." Bonbon stared at the emotionless face of the dummy. Smiling softly, she gave it a small hug, before walking off. As she walked off, she sensed someone behind her. Turning around she saw that dummy wasn't there. Hearing a splash, she turned back; the dummy was floating infront of her. The dummy had an angry expression as it stared at her.
"Ha Ha Ha... do you think a hug can help you avoid fighting me?! I am the ghost that lives inside a Dummy. HUMAN! I'll scare your soul out of your body!" The dummy started to glow with magic. Flicking his head, he pulled out Bonbon soul.
"Oh oh!" Bonbon looked around and saw she was surrounded by mini dummies. "..cute?" One by one, the mini dummies started sending small balls of magic at her. Moving left, right, jumping and ducking into the water she manage to dodged them. Jumping back, one of the magic orbs hit Dummy across the chest.
"Owwww, you DUMMIES! WATCH WHERE YOUR AIMING YOUR MAGIC ATTACKS!" Bonbon continued to dodge till Dummy fired his helpers for robotic ones. Which started shooting mini rockets at her.
"Aaaahhh!" Bonbon started running around the Dummy as the rockets kept chasing her. After awhile, she forgot why she was running and started to giggle as the Dummy's eyes started to swirl around from watching her.
"GHAAAAAA! You guys are worse then the last ones! Who cares! Who cares! WHO CARES! I DON'T NEED FRIENDS! I'VE GOT KNIVES!" Dummy threw his summoned knife at Bonbon. But he missed as the knife fell into the water near her with a *ploop*.
"I'm... out of knives. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU CAN'T HURT ME AND I CAN'T HURT YOU! YOU'LL BE STUCK FIGHTING ME...forever...Forever! FOREVER! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bonbon started to chuckle along with the dummy.
"Why are you laughing you idiot!? Don't you get what's happening!?" Flowey screamed.
"I don't know. He started laughing, so I joined in." Just then the Dummy started spazzing out as it started to rain on him.
"Wh... what the heck is this,? Ergh! Acid rain!? Oh forget it! I'm outta here!" Dummy left Bonbon, letting her soul to float back into her chest. Materializing infront of her was Napsablook.
"...sorry, I interrupt-" Seeing who it was, Bonbon lept into the air and hugged him. As she almost started to faze through him, Napsablook used his magic to hold her into place. "Oh...oh...it's..it's you. Almost ...didn't recognize you with the flower on your head...I'm sorry."
"Hehehe Blooky!" Napsablook started to blush as he slowly set her back down.
" well...I was going to head home...umm...feel free to 'come with' ...if you want...no pressure...I understand if..if your busy.." Bonbon followed Napsablook as he left the dump. Her shoes making a squishy squeaky sound with every step, she followed him all the way to the front of his home. "Hey...this is my house, in case you want to see..or not..." He then fazed through his door.
"I wonder if he has a towel?" Bonbon asked as she opened the front door.
"Why would a GHOST have a towel?" Closing the door behind her, Napsablook turned around as he stood infront of his computer.
"Oh... you really came...sorry, I wasn't expecting that. It's not much but make yourself at home." Moving her wet hair from her face she asked if he had any towels she could borrow. "Oh...uh sorry...I didn't notice that you were drenched...I don't...maybe...wait here. If you want." Napsablook fazed through his wall, entering the house next to his. "I hope he doesn't mind...um..." Fazing back to his house, he asked Bonbon if the small blanket was ok.
"Mhm" she smiled.
Holding up the small pink blanket, he gently started drying her off. As he finished, he went to return the blanket. Flowey alone with Bonbon, he looked down and saw that her hair had poofed up.
"Hahahaha you look ...hahaha...so stupid." Bonbon giggled as she shooked her head till her hair went back to normal. "S...sss..sstooopp..y...you...idiot!" When Napsablook came back, she asked if he could fix her dress.
"...sorry..I can't...but...if you'd like, we could lie down on the ground and feel like garbage...it's a family tradition. Do...do you want try...and join me?" Bonbon nodded her head. Napsablook handed her an ear bud, while she placed Flowey beside her as they layed down onto the floor.
Relaxing to the soft sound of music that played through the headphones, Bonbon stared at the ceiling. As her whole body started to relax, she could see stars fading across her. Sighing gently, she began remembering all her fights...all her deaths. The looks on the monsters face as she died. She felt so sad, so sad for those monsters. To have seen her die...it must have been hard to watch. She wasn't brave enough to see someone die before her. As she started to lose the feeling of the floor underneath her, leaving her to feel as if she was floating amongst the stars, her eyes started to relax.
Regaining their original colors, she came face to face with Flowey. Flowey stared down at her, confused by her gloomy look.
"Brat... you ok down there? Your eyes changed." Blinking rapidly, Bonbon removed her ear buds and sat up. Letting out a soft giggle, she smiled at her potted friend.
"I'm ok." Seeing her stand up, Napsablook got up as well,
"Well, that was nice...thank you." Bonbon digged into her pockets,
"Blooky? Before I go...do you think you can fix my treasure?" Handing over the small device that was wrapped in a soaked handkerchief. "It got wet."
"I'll see what I can do." Leaving it behind, Bonbon and Flowey left his home.
"What was that?" Flowey asked.
"My treasure, mommy gave one to me and my brother." Whispering softly, "it has secrets. Secrets we can't see."
"That's werid."
"Hmm...I don't know...but what's werid is my phone. It didn't get wet." Walking along, following the main road she spotted an old turtle sitting on a rock infront of a cave store.
"Woah there little lady. Now you look as if you've been running through spikes."
"Hehehe." She giggled.
"Now, why don't you sit over there, while you hand me over that old dress so that I can fix it, hmm?" Bonbon smiled as she handed over her torn dress. "Quite alot of scars you got there. Arent you a little too young to be picking up fights." She just smiled at him. Looking back at her dress, he examine the tear. "Don't worry, old Gerson will fix this up in a jiffy." She sat near him with her legs crossed."Just rest down here, while I tell you some stories." Reaching into his back pocket, he pulled out a tread and needle. Looking down at the smiling child, he let out a small chuckle. "Don't you be worring about this old dress. I've fixed worse tears than this, I tell you. I used to look after a young little lass, not much older than you, who always went looking for trouble."
"Ughh..." Flowey slumped backwards on his pot. Bonbon smiled, enjoying the the old turtle monster's story.
"Not much has changed over the years though. Still looking for trouble. She just won't let this old shell of a monster relax." Peaking up, he saw Bonbon swaying back and forth. "You know, for a minute there, when you were walking by, I thought you might be the 'angel' from the prophecy."
"Angel?"
"You know, the one on the delta emblem. There's one stuck on the wall behind my store." Bonbon tipped to her left and noticed that there was a marking on the wall. Looking closely, she noticed that it looked similar to the one on Toriel's dress. "An 'angel' who has seen the surface will descend from above and bring us freedom. So, why don't you tell me where you're heading off to, hmm?"
"Adven-"
"To see the king!" Flowey cut in.
"Ah, good old King Fluffybuns. He's a friendly, happy-go-lucky kinda guy."
"Hehehe, fluffybuns?"
"Eh? Why do I call Dreemur 'Fluffybuns'?"
"Mhm."
"That's a great story!... I don't remember it." Bonbon giggled. Gerson smiled at the giggling child. Holding out her dress, "There all done..." he said as he handed her over her dress. Bonbon putted it on and gave a small spin. "Aww, now aren't you a take this, consider it a small gift for listening to an old turtle's rambling." Gerson handed her a small apple in the shape of crab,"it should help you in your journey. Now, you better watch out your back, I hear Undyne is looking for someone who looks just like you." He said as he ruffled her hair.
"Okay. Bye bye Mr. Gerson and thank you!" Waving goodbye, she stuffed the apple into her pocket and went on her way. Gerson let out a sigh as he fished out his phone.
"Hey there, why don't you come by again and a have a cup of tea with your old mentor?"
"What! I don't have time for that! Look, as much as I would like to, I'm trying to find something."
"If its the human child, why don't you let them go, hmm? That little tyke ain't hurting no one."
"Sigh, sorry old man, no can do. I have a duty to up hold. I gotta hang up, ok?"
"Were are you?"
"Down by the dump, found traces of the human, rain check on that tea though. Bye." Gerson closed his phone and leand back against the cave walls.
"Sigh, well at least you can't say that I didn't try."
...
Bonbon entered a dark corridor, with only the small glowing mushrooms to light up the room. Bonbon crouched down, squishing the small squeaking mushroom. Giggling as they turned off and on. "I guess the mushrooms are like tiny little light switches to get through huh?"
"Guess you can say that." Bonbon followed the small lighted path, touching every mushroom she came across.
"Oh? What's this?" Bending down, she found what looked like a small cat treat with yellow and blue stripes. Putting it in her pocket, she continued walking towards the end of the corridor. Stumbling back as a small monster came running by. The small cat dog monster stared at her before pulling her soul out.
Special enemy Temmie appears here to defeat you!
Bonbon squealed as her eyes lit up, as she stared at Temmie. Her arms reached out towards the small monster, itching to hug it.
"NO! So hungr...(dies)" the monster collapsed onto the floor.
"Oh no! Temmie!" Bonbon rushed towards the small monster, digging into her pocket, she took out the small object she found earlier. "Is..is this food?" The small Temmie opened their eyes and sniffed at the Temmie flake.
"FOOB!" Opening up their mouth wide, Bonbon placed the small treat inside their mouth.
"Hi! I'm Bonbon!"
"hOi! i'm tEMMIE!" The small Temmie stared at Flowey, causing him to sweat under their intensive vibrating stare.
"It's nice to meet you Temm-" Temmie leaped over Bonbon's head, running past her, into the next corridor. Bonbon stared as Temmie carried Flowey ontop of their head.
"BRAAAAT! DO SOMETHIIIIING!"
"Bwah!" Bonbon stood there in shock. "Oh oh" she sighed. Running after Temmie, Bonbon entered the next room. The only light in the room were those of the small crystal through out the room. She soon slowed her pace as she noticed the room getting darker. She stopped in her tracks as darkness consumed her.
"I...I can't...see...it's..too dark.."
It was pitch black
"No...n..no...I...can't...there's...no...no...light..."
She was alone...and she was lost.
