Frisk carried two slices of Toriel's famed Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie to Chara's room. One slice for Chara, and one slice for herself. Frisk wanted to spend as much with Chara as possible. Now, Frisk only had to be nervous being around Chara when there were other people around.

It felt good to let her true feelings for Chara out. Frisk found these feelings a while back. All the way back to when they were locked in the room in Toriel's home. That was a long time ago...

"Greetings, partner," Chara said when Frisk walked in.

"Hi, Chara. I brought you some of Toriel's pie," Frisk said.

Chara stared Frisk dead in the eye, "I swear to god if you say snail pie, I'll eat another damn Buttercup. Please tell me it's Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie."

"Don't worry, Chara, the Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie will help you heal!" Frisk said. The two ate their pie in relative silence. "Well, Chara, we need to talk about the three elephants in this room."

"Yeah, Frisk?" Chara asked.

"We've got love, self-harm, and suicide. We need to make a plan. Do you know how bad it hurt me to know that you were hurting yourself? Each time you had tried to kill yourself, my heart was almost stopped. And whenever I'm around you, my heart is racing. It's racing for two reasons: are you going to hurt yourself and I'm here with the person I love. What are we going to do when you feel like hurting yourself?" Frisk said. Chara nodded and started to cry as Frisk spoke. She felt bad to hurt Chara's emotional state.

"I want to say I'll let you know, but we both know that that's a promise I can't keep. Look how RESETing worked earlier. I promised to Sans I would never RESET. I tried to. I'll do my best to let you know. It'll either be easier or harder now that we've both admitted our feelings..." Chara said. She was feeling uncomfortable to talk about these subjects.

"Okay... But now you will make a promise to me that you will keep, okay? Promise me that you'll never, ever try to kill yourself ever again. Make that promise, and we'll be able to work better. If you don't, I won't know what to do," Frisk said.

"I'm sorry Frisk, but you'll just have to not know what to do..." Chara cried.

"Please. Chara. At least tell me why you can't..." Frisk pleaded.

"Because Bane."

"Oh. Yeah. That makes sense, Chara. I'd also kill myself if Bane got me. He's a horrible, evil demon that should go to hell!"

The two girls sat in a peaceful silence for a while. It took an uneventful four days for Chara to heal 100%. Frisk spent around ten hours each of those days with Chara. The two had bonded. Sometimes they would talk or play games. Sometimes Frisk would inspect Chara's cuts. Sometimes Chara and Frisk would just sit and hold hands.

Being in love with someone makes it easier to care about them.

It was around eleven in the morning on the fifth day when Chara was able to stand, walk around, talk, and actually move without having any side effects of the poison from the Buttercups. Frisk was so happy when Chara could move around. Her friend was really, actually getting better. From now on, Frisk swore to make sure that she or someone else was always with Chara. Chara had refused to make those promises, so Frisk had to be ever more careful.

Chara and Frisk explored through Snowdin and Waterfall on the fifth day. Frisk and Chara were in the Mysterious Caverns of Snowdin when it happened. They had just come back from exploring waterfall and reliving everything that they had done in the first timeline. They walked through Snowdin town and found themselves by the Gyftrot families' homes. Frisk and Chara preferred not to bother them after the previous incidents with some of the Gyftrots.

The walked into the Caverns and found that Toby had his door shut. Glyde was away, so Frisk and Chara didn't have to worry about having to sit through everything he had to say. Frisk and Chara let themselves lay down head to head and stare at the bright-blue, diamond-like ceiling. It was a lot like staring at the clouds. It was at this moment when it happened.
