Undyne blinked, "The battle is over?"

"What happened to Asriel?" Toriel asked, worried.

[ASRIEL]
There's a world out up above

"Oh... he looks just like how he used to..." Toriel said, obviously looking back on memories.
It would not show me love
I thought I could stop the end
Be here with you, my friend

Somewhere deep down I believed
I'd bring you back to me
I thought we could have some fun
Can my damage be undone?

"It wasn't really damage. We ended up on the surface anyway." I said.

Sans raised the skeleton equivalent of an eyebrow, "How did we end up on the surface anyway?" He asked.

"Asriel used all of the souls he has to destroy the Barrier." I explained.

"W-wait... Why- how- do we have our souls back?" Alphys asked.

My mind went blank, "Oh..." I stammered, "I don't know?"

I'd forgotten how to feel
Not sure if I was real
If I am no longer me
Then what can I still be?

By your side until the end
I thought I'd be your friend

"Aw, you are my friend." I said, looking down at Flowey.

"I'm not him." Flowey insisted, but even him didn't really seem to believe it. The fire behind his words has quieted down. I simply smiled and lightly poked his petals. To my suprise, he didn't even attempt to bite me.

I still hold onto that hope
No matter what I am then

So please just leave me behind

"What!? No... no one should be abandoned, no matter what." Toriel said. Flowey snorted, muttering something cynical under his breath.

I ignored him, turning to Goat-mom, "You're right." I stated, simply.

I couldn't win this time
I don't want to let you go
I'll be okay alone

You deserve far better friends
Now you're here at the end
I can let all of them go
I'll be okay alone

Asriel starts to cry, his cries slowly get louder. Frisk hugs him.

The monsters stayed silent for a while. The silence is broken by Toriel's sniffles, which are quickly turning to tears.

I hugged Toriel, she wrapped me up into a bear hug. "Mom... don't cry..." I said.

"My child, do not be afraid... these are happy tears." Toriel said.

Leave me be
Say goodbye
You can't help, why must you try?

"Determination." I answered.

"You're annoyingly stubborn, you know?" Flowey said.

"So are you!" I said with a smile. Flowey's scowl momentarily shifted to a slight smirk, "Yeah... guess you are right." Flowey admitted.

"Both of you kiddos are stubborn." Sans said, smiling.

"Don't call me kiddo! I'm as old—maybe older— as you, you smiley trash bag!" Flowey shouted, snapping out of his smiling state.

Sans simply shrugged with a wink, pissing Flowey off even more.

Why must you stay with me
Your battle's won, go with your family

[FRISK]
It's not fair to be alone
After what you've been through

"It isn't." I sighed, agreeing with 'musical me'.

So let me just ease your pain

Please let me stay with you

I'll continue to reach out
I won't abandon you

Flowey gave me a sad look, his previous sour expression fading. He didn't say anything... but his eyes told it all; Thank you. I smiled a little, the murderous angry flower persona Flowey used is slowly cracking. I don't exactly know what it meant, or even what I was trying to do... but regardless, this is progress.

I felt Toriels eyes stare down at Flowey with curiosity. Flowey didn't seem to mind it anymore.
DETERMINATION fuels me
To keep trying to save you

[ASRIEL]

I don't deserve your MERCY
If you won't FIGHT, please just leave

No one came, or heard my call
I'm so glad you took your fall

Leave me be
Say goodbye
You can't help, why must you try?

Why must you stay with me

Your battle's won, go with your family

Forgive me, stay with me

You're the last light I'll see

"Flower—Flowey..." Toriel said,correcting herself, her eyes still damp.

"What?" Flowey said, his voice firm and brittle. It didn't even sound like a question.

"I know that you've said—numerous times in fact— that you aren't... him... but I must ask..." Toriel said, "Are you Asriel? Are you my son?" She asked, her voice cracking and her eyes brimming with tears.

Flowey looked down at floor, not daring to meet her eyes. "Would you- would you think less of me... less of him if I was?" He asked, though it sounded like a plead. That seemed like enough of an answer for Toriel, because she set me down and pulled the small flower into a big bear (or goat) hug.

"My child!" She cried. Flowey turned bright red, "You're squishing me! And don't call me 'my child' again! I'm Flowey! 'child' is Frisk!" Flowey shouted. Sans and I where laughing at Flowey's predicament, while most of the monster remained confused. A certain mechanical celebrity raved about how dramatic and 'tear-jerking' the scene is... I didn't get it. Asgore looked happy, but didn't dare interrupt Toriel's 'moment'. (Mom-ent)

Finally deciding to 'save' Flowey, I pry them apart. Flowey muttered something about almost dying and wanting to change seats... but remarkably everyone took the news well.

"See? That wasn't too hard!" I teased.

"Like you're one to talk..." Flowey grumbled. I smiled and laughed it off... but he's right. I'm a hypocrite... a big fat liar.

Welp, we are almost to genocide... two more songs left. I hope you enjoyed this relatively shorter chapter... to make up for it I tried to jam pack it with feels... Dunno if it worked or not, but I had fun writing it.

Also! If there is any 'line' or scene that is in the game (or head-canon) that you want them to react to (It kinda has to be in the genocide run cause, you know) then please let me know! If I have a good idea for it then I will add it in it's appropriate spot...

Thank you for reading!
