*(i have been receiving a few complaints about how i was neglecting to add major detailing into this, as well as that the chapters should be longer. I would like to apologize for both of these, and i will work to try and fix that in future chapters. But still, i am glad you all enjoy this story, i really don't deserve all of you =)

Chapter 27: SAVE trials and Pacifism 101.

I hold hands with toriel as we walk into the next room, the one with the first SAVE point. I can use these SAVE points to my advantage, so long as i utilize them appropriately i release mom's hand and run up ahead and touch the SAVE star.

*game SAVED.

Asriel pops up next to me. "Hey, you can see those too?"

"Yeah, Azzy, i can use the SAVE points now. They should be able to help us with everything that happens.

Mom walks up next to us. "My child, what are you talking about?"

"You can't see it? It's right here."

"My child, i'm afraid i only see you pointing at the leaves."

"Oh." so she can't see it. Huh. well, maybe i should explain what the save point is. "You can't see it, well, think of it like a safety precaution. Azzy, can you explain?"

"Sure, Chara." asriel straightens himself up. " a 'SAVE' point is a place where someone with the most DETERMINATION can set to go back to whenever they want. Chara here just so happens to be that person."

Mom chimes in "i'm not so sure what you mean."

"Think of it like time traveling. Here, why don't we give you an example. Think of a word, any word."

Mom thinks for a moment."ok, now what?"

"Ok, Chara, hit the SAVE button again."

"Ok, Azzy."

*Game SAVED

"It's done."

"Ok, mom, now tell us what you were thinking about."

Mom smiles "I was thinking of making you both a pie when we got home!"

"Ok, Chara, now load."

*Game LOADED

As soon as the LOAD is done, i tell mom "You were thinking of making a pie for both of us."

Mom seems surprised for a moment. "Oh. that's completely correct. Strange…"

"That's how the SAVE points work. Now, let's keep going. Wanna get out of here as soon as possible. See you both up ahead." Asriel ducks back underground.

"Well, i still don't fully understand it, but i guess i will have to accept that. He is right, though, we should keep moving. This way, my child." she takes my hand and takes me up the stairs. When we enter the next room, mom starts to speak again. "Im sure you remember the puzzles in the ruins, right? Here, why don't you try this one on your own, my child?"

"Sure mom!" i walk up over the four pressure pads on the sides and pull the lever. The door next to us opens.

"Ahh.. very good, my child." we both walk into the next room. "Here's the next puzzle, i trust you can do this one on your own as well? Worry not, i am here if you need anything, and i have marked which switches need to be flipped." well, this one is simple, i just walk up to the two switches and pull them down. When they both are down, the spikes at the other doorway retract. "Good job my child. Let's keep on our way. we enter the next room with the training dummy.

"Now, i am not certain how much you remember about the underground, but since you've been gone, humans haven't been seen in a positive manner. For this reason, monsters may attack you. Worry not, i Toriel will protect you from them. But if i am not there, try and start up a friendly conversation. Stall for time until i can come and resolve the conflict. Here, practice talking to this dummy." start a simple conversation? Ok. i approach the dummy.

*Battle start!

Ok, it's just the training dummy. Nothing to be afraid of. How about i ask it about the weather…?

I'm not crazy, i promise.

*Act talk

*you ask the dummy about the weather

*...

*it doesn't seem much for conversation.

*Toriel seems proud.

*you WON!

"Good, thank you, my child." mom walks into the next room as i follow closely behind. "This way. Mom goes down the adjoining hallway and i follow her. Wait, didn't that froggit attack them he-

*Battle start!

Well, i guess that fights now. Toriel is nearby, too, so the solution is simple…

(*slash)

NO

I don't think i will ever forget their run, i'm probably going to have nightmares for years about it...

*Act talk

*froggit doesn't understand, but is flattered anyway.

Mom walks over to me and glares at the froggit. It looks at her, and slowly starts walking away.

*you WON!

Mom is still glaring at the froggit for a moment as it walks away, before looking back at me. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, mom, i'm fine."

"Good." she turns around and looks at the field of spikes. "This is the puzzle, but… here, take my hand." i give mom my hand as she carefully guides us through the spikes. When we reach the end, she releases my hand. "That puzzle's always been too dangerous, anyway." we walk into the next room. "I have a difficult request for you, my child. I want you to walk to the end of this allway on your own. Forgive me." mom takes off running down the hallway. I try to keep up with her, but she vastly outpaces me, leaving me alone in the hallway… well, she's just at the end of it, right. Yeah, i can keep going…

This hallway really is too unnecessarily long…

As i approach the end of the hallway, mom comes out from behind the pillar. "Hello, my child. I am sorry for leaving you like that. But worry not, i was merely behind this pillar the whole time. But, i am glad you passed the test. I had you do this to test your independance. Now, i must take care of something, wait here for a while, would you not? Here, just in case, i have kept your old phone safe. Call me if you need anything, my child, even if it is just to hear the sound of my voice." mom leaves the room. Well, i guess it wouldn't hurt to wait. I sit down against the pillar, as Asriel pops up next to me again.

"Howdy, Chara! What'cha doing here? Come on! Let's go have some fun! Mom will never know!"

"Asriel, mom told me to wait here, so that's what i'm going to do. Why don't you wait with me?"

"Aww, but Chara, please?"

"Come on, Azzy, let's just relax together, ok?"

"Fine, whatever." i lay down against the pillar as Asriel leans up against me. I close my eyes, listening to the sounds of the ruins…

I fall asleep.
