Listening to the soft calming water, Bonbon rested her head on Riverperson's lap as they sang their little tune. Her eyes were threatening to close, but her determination kept her from doing so. She wanted to get to the end as fast as she could to prevent you from getting any worse. You would be laughing at her small attempts to not sleep if the whole thing wasn't so concerning to you. Nothing you say could convince her to stop, but it could be that you didn't want to.

"Flowey..." she mumbled.

"What."

"I didn't like your plan."

"Still going on about that! It worked, so what's the problem!?" Bonbon sat up to look at Flowey from where he sat next to her.

"You hurt someone I really care about." She whimpered.

"We didn't hurt anyone!!" Bonbon balled out her eyes as her face got closer to him.

"The spaghetti!!!! You blew it up!!! You don't just blow up a good batch of spag!"

"Wha?"

"It...it smelled so good too." She sobbed as she curled herself into a ball.

"Idiot."

As Chara's unconscious body slept near you, you could feel a very forbidding feeling itch it's way into you. During the whole time after Chara's little nightmare, she hasn't woken up. In one side it was a good thing because Bonbon didn't have to deal with your memories and threats. But in another, it only meant that she was gaining more strength. Strength that you might not be able to stop.

"Tra la la, Hotland."

"Hmm...?" Bonbon's head wobble back and forth as she struggled to sit up.

"Brat, hurry it up!" Flowey stretched one of his vines near the water and splashed it across her face, startling her.

"Aah!" Bonbon tripped over her feet and rolled out of the boat onto the ground. "Ehhh?! I didn't know you could do that!? Why did you lie that one time saying that you couldn't play cards with me?"

"NOW is not the best time, don'tcha think?!" Hoping back to her feet, Bonbon dusted herself off.

"Yes, you're right Flowey!" Digging into her pocket she pulled out her phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Calling Alphys."

"Why!!?"

"She could help me!"

"Or rat you out!!!"

"Shush-shushshhh..." After the first couple of rings, Alphys picked up.

"O-oh! Bo-bonbon, what are you doing? !"

"Alphys, I need your help! Take me to the king of fluff, hero of science!!" Bonbon looked to the far distance, with stars shimmering in her eyes.

"W-what?!"

"Hee hee, sorry. Is there a faster way to get out of Hotland?"

"O-oh...um...there is an elevator that takes you pretty close to the MTT Resort." Bonbon smacked her lips as she thought about this.

"Theres nothing that can take me straight to King Fluffy?"

"I-I'm sorry, but...that elevator is out of order." Flowey scuffed at the obvious lie.

"She's lying you idiot, she probably rigged the whole thing up."

"Bonbon? Is..is there someone with you?" Flowey sunk back into his dirt, leaving Bonbon alone to deal with Alphys. "Bonbon?"

"...no?"

"Oh..well, the elevator is straight up ahead before you reach my lab. So um...I have to go now. Gotta make another phone call. Bye." Putting away her phone, Bonbon started to walk forward.

"Alphys sounds like a very busy person." Bonbon said as she went into the elevator.

《Sorry, but I don't think you're going to be able to go past the resort.》

"Gasp! Voice person you have to believe!"

《It's not that I don't, just call it a hunch I have.》Pressing the last button on the elevator display, Bonbon waited with a huge smile on her face. When the elevator came to a stop and the doors open up, Bonbon noticed a familiar looking fire monster.

"Hey hey! Did you remember my name?" Bonbon rushed over and hugged the small flame monster.

"Yes!" In a fit of laughter, Bonbon spuned around Heat Flamesman in her arms.

"Wh-WHAT!? You REMEMBER!? How could I be so easily defeateeeeeed?" Going stiff, Bonbon stopped her spinning to look at the small flame man.

"Hellooo?" Wiggling him with all her might, he didn't unfreeze. Placing him down on the ground, she tilted her head. "Hello?"

"I'll always remember that you remembered my name!"

"Hee hee, silly." Patting his flame like hair, she continued her journey. Entering the next area, she could feel the stifling heat of the air start to cool. She jumped up and down with glee as she stared at the resort infront of her. Noticing a sheet of paper on the ground, she went over to pick it up. Seeing only words, she sticked out her tongue before tossing it behind her.

"Bleh.."

Walking over towards the bright building, she placed her hand on the glass doors. Not moving, Flowey asked why.

"We don't have time for you to stand arou...nd?" Bonbon stepped away from the door to look to her left as sweat dripped on the side of her face. With a nervous smile, she waved at the shadowed figure. "Holy crap!" Flowey was then engulfed in a bright blue light before hovering near the shadowed figure.

"language..."

"Hiya...Sans. hee...hee..."

"hiya munchkin." Stepping out of the dark, Sans skull was still shrouded in dark as the hood of his jacket was up. But it didn't hide the tired smile that he was sporting. "heh, come on. don't put that face. not gonna nag you if that's what you're scared bout'."

"O-oh?"

"heard from alphys that you're heading past the core. how about grabbing some dinner with me, seeing how you blew up the one we were going to have earlier."

"I-I'm sorry!!!!" Sans staggered back in suprise as Bonbon started sobbing infront of him. "I killed the spaghetti!!!!" Sans sighed as he tried not to laugh. Placing his hand ontop of her head, she looked up at him, calming down by his gesture.

"don't worry. i know that wasn't you." He calmly said as Flowey screamed behind him as he spuned him around. "still up for that dinner?" Bonbon nodded. "great," he said as he lifted her up from the ground. "hang on, okay? I know a shortcut." Bonbon gave a sharp nod as she held tightly onto his jacket.

Short cutting his way, they entered a dinner inside the resort. Leaving the annoying potted weed near a monster licking dew, Sans sat across the small human at a diffrent table. By the soft candle light, Sans tried to figure out the words he wanted to say. "you know, munchkin. if ya continue past this place, you'd be getting closer to the end. an end, ya might never be able to get back from. but i guess, it just means you really want to go back to your home." Clenching his fists, he continued. "hey, i know the feeling munchkin, being trapped underground is not an exciting place for a kid. i, know that. but..." Sans struggled to keep his voice from wavering. "is it that bad? being here, with us...with me..." he whispered. "you've got food, drinks, friends...is the world out there really all that better? you might not have said anything...but...sigh. it seems as if that world out there wasn't all what it cut out be, ya know?"

Looking through the candle light, Sans let out a dry chuckle as he tried to look at Bonbon's face. Emphasis on try, seeing how he could barely see her forehead much less the rest of her face. "kinda hard to have a serious conversation with you if i can't even see ya. need a boost?"

"Okay." Calling over a waiter, they brought over a small booster seat for her. Able to see her clearly now, Sans continued on.

"let me tell you a story. so, there was this human kid once that fell into the underground. seeing how i'm a sentry in snowdin forest, my job is to watch out for humans. pretty boring stuff. but a sweet old lady that lives in the Ruins made me promise not to kill the human. so when the human walked out, i kept my promise and watched over them. if i'm being honest, the human was a little weird. they didn't talk, not that that was weird, just they never said anything bout' themselves. they would run around the underground, befriending all the monsters they could meet. all in all, they were a good kid. loved my puns." He winked, "cared bout' my brother. also thought he was cool. abit of a flirty little thing but.. it...was nice. things down here didn't look so bleak. even if things down here looked bad. which it still does. the kid gave us some hope."

The waiter came by with a small drink and a bottle of ketchup. They asked if Sans wanted anything else, but he only thanked them and waved them off. Bonbon drinking her beverage with a straw, Sans tries to remember where he had left off. "ya know, the kid and i had a similar sit-in like this. not that i could remember it clearly, that's why i have it all written down somewhere. when the kid was sitting where you are sitting right now, i told them if the old lady didn't make me do that promise." The room chilled as Sans eyelights disappeared. "they would be dead where they stand." Bonbon continued to suck deeply from her drink. "i told them it was all a joke and to lighten up. after that, the kid did something that we never thought we would live to see the day. they broke the barrier...but it didn't last. they changed...and things got worse. things got so bad that...munchkin...you have no clue how close you were to being our ticket out of here..." Bonbon had sucked so hard on her straw that her cheeks where caving in.

Hard to scare a kid with a puckered up face like that...

Sans eyesockets went back to normal as did the room around him. Settling back to his seat, he noticed Bonbon's empty cup. "uh...? need a refill there, munchkin?" Bonbon blinked her black and white eyes before looking down.

"No..." Sans scratched the back of his skull, letting out a nervous laugh.

"i didn't scare ya did i? the last thing i want is for ya to be afraid of me." Smiling at him, she shook her head no.

"You looked pretty cool for a second though, hee hee." Sans letting out a sigh, he crashed his head into his folded arms.

"ah, you're too good for this place..."

"Hmm?" Lifting his head up, he patted her head.

"welp, at least you could say that i was able to keep you alive so far huh. being in a place filled with monsters and such."

"Uhhhhh..." Bonbon's gaze wondered off to the side.

"HA! That's funny!" Flowey barked out.

"Flowey shh..." Sans eyesockets squinted as he stared down at her.

"wait...what's with that look?"

"Hmm?" Sans lifted her chin gently to make her look at him.

"is there something i need to know?"

"Hee hee!" He let out a sigh.

"be...be careful out there...cause there's a lot of people who care about you." With a heavy soul, he got up from his seat.

Just...just get out. Before...

But as he was walking away, he felt a small hand grab onto his jacket. Gritting his teeth he forced himself to look back.

"Are you mad at me?"

"what do you mean?"

"Kinda sounds like I can't go back home."

"home?"

"With you and Papy?" Sans eyesocket grew wide as he looked down at her.

"you're coming back?"

"I can't?"

"aren't you...i mean...I thought you where going to the surface and..."

"Hmm? Not yet. I just wanna go check on something. Can I still come back?" Sans smiled grew before pinching her cheeks.

"course you can."

"Ehhhh~"

"take care, munchkin."

"Hee hee, bye bye Sans!" Running off towards where Flowey was at, Bonbon placed him back ontop of her head. But as he watched her leave, he felt his soul clench painfully. At the same time, his phone rang. Picking it up, he could hear the worry in his brother's voice.

"Sans...Do...Do You Feel..."

"yeah, i feel it too. don't worry, bro. i'll stay close."

Bonbon walking out of the diner, you consciously stiffened when you saw that Chara had woken up. She was glaring so cheerfully at her, that it left a shiver down your spine.

{Chara...what...what are you...} she ignored you as she continued to stare at Bonbon. Smiling wider and wider everytime Bonbon's eyes started to droop. {Chara!} Her eyes shifted to glance at you ever so briefly before landing back to the small human. {Bonbon...you cannot sleep...do you hear me!}

"Heh...sleep? Too hungry..." Bonbon stared at the door that led to the burger emporium, following the smell of food that spilled out through the closed doors.

"Brat! Let's just hurry it up and get to end before that smiley trashbag changes his mind!"

"But my belly speaks to me..." Opening the door, she saw a very stiff looking cat monster.

"Welcome to MTT-Brand Burger Emporium, home of the Glamburger."

"Kitty..." she whispered out. The worker shifted his eyes nervously as he tried to keep his fake smile on. "Are you a kitty?"

"I'm sorry, (Ha ha) it's against the rules to talk to customers who haven't bought anything." Bonbon digged into her pocket and pulled out her bag of gold coins. Looking inside, she saw that she didn't really have that much. Looking back at the menu, she saw something that caught her eyes.

"Oooh! Starfait please!" Bonbon went on her tippy toes as she tried to hand over the 60g over to the employer. Bending over the counter, he grabbed the gold and then handed over the parfait towards her.

"Thanksy! Have a FABU-FUL day!!! Sparkle up your day (TM)." Bonbon gazing over it, she smiled brightly before stuffing it into her pocket.

"You idiot! You said you where hungry, why aren't you eating it!"

"Flowey, you can't eat sweets before dinner."

"So, why didn't you buy something else first!"

" Because it's my favorite!"

"You've never been here!!" Flowey groaned out before hiding back into his dirt. "Mr. Kitty?"

"What." He said beneath his breath as sweat dripped down his face.

"Hee hee, hi!"

"Why do you keep trying to talk to me?"

"I can't?"

"I'll get in trouble if I get chummy with the customers."

"Oh..." Bonbon deflated before him. Seeing this, the employee let out a loud sigh while rubbing his face with his hand. Looking back at the small kid, he lifted her up from her hoodie andplaced her ontop of the counter.

"SO, I wanted to be an ACTOR." Bonbon placed her hand on her cheeks as she let out a large gasp. "Take it from me, little buddy." Bonbon's eyes sparkled as she continued to talk to him. About how he hated his job, his boss, how he wasted his life and how the two ladies started calling him burgerpants. "Everyone calls me burgerpants now. But you won't, will you, little buddy?"

"Hee hee nope! So what's your real name." Some how during they're whole conversation Burgerpants and Bonbon ended up sitting at a near by table, relaxing as they chatted away.

"Wow, you really wanna know little buddy?"

"Mhm!"

"Nah, it's cool. You can just call me Burg or Burgy like what that Nice Cream Guy calls me. That dude does NOT know how to tell jokes. He understand comedy EVEN LESS than that guy who keeps going on stage and crying about his family. Anyway, I, uh, just tell him that they are good, because he gives me a nice cream for free afterward..." Bonbon, tapped on her chin as she started to think.

"Do you think if you talked to the ladies they'll again, the'd want to be friends?!!"

"Look little buddy, Never interact with attractive people. Unless you're 'one of them,' they're just gonna take advantage of you."

"For Burgy!!!" Bonbon screamed out as she hopped off from the chair and charged out of the restaurant. Sidetracked by her desire to get people to get along, Bonbon meet the two ladies that hanged out in the alley that went by the name of Bratty and Catty.

"Another kitty..." Bonbon whispered as she stared at the purple short cat that stood next to a tall slender alligator.

"Hey!"

"Check it out!"

"Yeah!"

"Check it out!"

"I'm Bratty, and this is my best friend, Catty."

"I'm Catty, and this is my best friend, Bratty."

Bonbon eyes swirled as they chatted along back and forth and before long, she was caught along withtheir life story as well. Even though most of the things they said went from one ear straight through the other one; she did manage to find out a little more about Alphys, which she enjoyed. But more importantly she found out alot about the king. Which only made her want to see him even more then before. For in her mind, she imagine him to be as cute as the nicknames he was given.

"Oh! Do you know Mr. Burgy from the restaurant!" Bonbon asked.

"Oh, that guy from the store?"

"Yuck, what a creep."

"Yeah! He's a creep!"

"But he's kind of cute, too..."

"C'mon Catty, don't you have ANY standards?"

"Nope!!!"

Hearing how they didn't sound like they hated him, she giggled while she asked if they wanted to be friends with him.

" Well, yeah maybe."

"Yeah, definitely a maybe."

"Like a slim chance."

"A major chance on being a possibility."

"Like, the annoying thing is..."

"He'd be OK if he just treated us with some respect."

"But he just acts..."

"Really weird."

"And then acts like it's OUR fault he acts that way!"

"Like, when we asked him to get those Glamburgers..." Hearing this, Bonbon rushed in to tell her new kitty friend who was eating a Glamburger.

"The girls were...Talking about me... ?" Burgerpants pieced his burger in half, giving a piece to Bonbon as he thought to himself. Around his excited mumbling he ended up sighing before looking back at her. "Wow. Poor, naive little buddy. They've brainwashed you. 'Friendship' is just a hot person's way of making you their slave...So, uh, what time would they wanna hang out?" Bonbon's mouth stuffed with sequins and glue, she gave him a chubby smile before rushing back to the alley.

Going back and forth, Bonbon was able to get Catty to convince Bratty to invite Burgerpants to hang out after work. Even more tired then before, she gasped her way back to her orange kitty friend. "They wanna hang out after work? Ha! Ahahaha!! Yes!!!" Burgerpants lifted Bonbon into the air, spinning her around in his excitment. "I won't let you down!! Little buddy... thank you. You've brought a tear to the eye of this old man. So, uh, where do they want to go?"

"The garbage dump!!" She said with her wobbly arms up in the air.

"...They want to hang out at the garbage dump..." he slowly lowered her back into the ground before take out a cigarette. "Well, nowhere to go but up, right, little buddy?" He sighed happily." Thank you, little buddy." Patting her head, he went back to rest behind his counter. Feeling good, Bonbon left the small restaurant. But as soon as she stepped out, she felt extremely faint.

"You idiot! If you weren't so busy running around you wouldn't be so tired." Bonbon, held onto the wall near by, as her eyelids threatened to shut. Seeing a monster lady hand near by, she went over. But through her tiredness all she heard where of rooms going for 200g. Handing all her gold, she grabbed the key and stumbled her way towards the room. "Brat, I don't think this is a good idea." Flowey voiced out as Bonbon opened the door. "We can try this another day,...maybe call that trashbag to pick you up?"

《No! Bonbon! You must not fall asleep! Bonbon do you hear me!!》

"Just...for a bit..."

Closing the door, Bonbon crashed ontop of the large bed. Try as you might, you couldn't get her to wake up. You frantically tried to tug on her even though your hands went through...but it did nothing. Staring back at a annoyed looking Flowey, you started swiping your hands at him. Causing him to shiver. With unknown fear, Flowey too started to trying to wake the sleeping human.

Seeing how all your work was in vain, Chara smiled melted. Letting out a shrilling laughter, she creepilly crawled into the small human's body.

《No...》 Bonbon's eyes shut wide open, scaring Flowey off the bed in shock. Her eyes glowed a bright red as a thin smile stretched across her face. Getting up with an unnatural fluency, she began to crack her neck. Looking around, she let out a small smirk. Digging into her pocket, she pulled out something yellow.

"Brat...w-why..why do you have those?" Flowey' eyes grew wide as he saw what Bonbon had dugged out. At a closer look, you noticed that they where yellow golden flowers. "Bonbon... don't...t-that isn't funny..." without warning Bonbon started shoving them into her mouth. "STOP!"

《CHARA! NOOOOO!》

Flowey tried biting Bonbon's arm, but she merely shoved him away from him as she continued to eat them. As he fell to the ground, he was able to get a hold of her phone that peaked from her pocket.

You watched in horror, as Chara continued to force the tiny human to digested the poisonous flowers. Holding onto all the determination you could muster, you dugged into Bonbon's body. Gripping tight onto Chara's conscious, you pried her away just when the room exploded with a bright light of magic.

"...!!!!! Bonbon!!!!!" A voice filled with pain filled the room as the small child's body collapsed onto the bed.
