Somone was calling for you...willing you to wake up. Their voices were so warm... even though your whole being told you to fall asleep, you fought it. Desperate to meet those voices...

Through slinted eyes, your vision started to clear. Looking around, you noticed the many faces of the people you've come to care. All wearing the same face...the face of great relief and joy. The woman who you've come to love as a mom, embraced you. Her warm soft body held on to you as she told you how glad you were awake. You buried your face into her chest, enjoying the love she gave you.

"W-we were so worried...! It felt like you were out forever!" You tried to sign that you were sorry, but your mom refused to let you go.

"Yeah! Any longer and I would have freaked out! Tell us next time you decide to take nap, okay!?" You nodded your head as your mom continued to suffocate you.

"yeah. you made papyrus cry like a baby."

"WHAT!! I DIDN'T CRY!!! I DON'T CRY!!" Papyrus folded his arms, looking away from his brother. "I JUST... CAUGHT SOMETHING IN MY EYE."

"what did you catch?"

"TEARS!!!" Papyrus pulled you out of your mom's arms, holding you tight in his own as he started to cry once more. Asgore walked between Toriel and Papyrus before she could of done anything of not having you in her arms.

"Now, now. The important part is that Frisk is all right." Patting your head, he placed a cup of tea into your dangling hands. "Here, Frisk. Why not drink some tea? It'll make you feel better." You gave him a small nod, before you tried to take a sip. But Toriel snatched you out of Papyrus arms, leaving you with an empty tea cup.

"Errr...How about we give them space, first? They must be very exhausted." Pushing you behind her, away from the king, she told you that no one remembered what exactly happened to them. You side glanced at Sans, who merely shook his shoulders. "There was a flower...and then, everything went white. But now the barrier is gone." You mimicked Sans, too tired to explain. Looking around at the people you care so much for, you noticed that someone was missing.

Patting your head, Toriel told you that they will be waiting for you till you were ready to return to the surface with everyone. She must have noticed your concern for she asked you if you wanted to take a walk; to say goodbye to all the friends you've made. You wanted to, but you also wanted to spend a few moments with everyone.

You learned that while you were unconscious, Alphys had upgraded Toriel's phone. Turning her and Sans into a couple of dorks, much to Papyrus' displeasure. Watching them text to one another, when they were literally standing next to each other, you walked up towards Sans and shook your brow at him.

"hey, frisk, what's with that weird expression?" Toriel looked up from her phone and told Sans how you flirted with her before calling her mom. Turning around you gave him the best shit-eatting grin you could make.

"oh, boy..." Sans slapped his face with his hand, he couldn't believe that the rumors were true. He had heard of how you flirted with a couple of monsters on your journey.

"WOW, FRISK...THIS REALLY PUTS OUR RELATIONSHIP IN A NEW LIGHT." Sans shoulder stiffened as he slide glanced at his brother. Giving you a smirk, he asked Toriel of she had any embarrassing stories about you. You pouted your face at him as Toriel said that she did, but you flirting was one of the most embarrassing ones she had. Saying she thought it was strange how anyone would want to flirt with anyone like her. Behind you, you could hear Alphys laughing to herself. Sans must have picked that up too for he started to sweat a little. Turning around, you saw that she was blushing slightly as she stood to a nervous looking Asgore. Alphys, unable to contain her laughter, burst out chuckling while giving Toriel a sly look.

"Oh, Toriel. You have NO idea." Toriel didn't quite understand but you did notice Sans and Asgore fidgeting. Seeing how Asgore wasn't occupied, Papyrus asked of he could join the Royal Guard. But he said there was no need for one, since the war was over. Heartbroken, Papyrus grabbed you, holding you close to him.

"WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE HUMAN'S QUEST!?" You wiggled out of his grasp shaking your head as Papyrus explained that this was the worst ending. Trying to change the subject, Undyne asked Alphys what she was planning to do now that they were all free. Not wanting to lie anymmore, she told everyone that she was going to stay inside watch anime like a total loser. Which Papyrus and Undyne agreed... Asgore was a bit confused for he wasn't to sure what an anime was which sent Alphys into a frenzy.

Calming herself down, she pulled you away asking if you thought Toriel and Asgore could ever get back together. You stared at her for a bit before glancing at them. Toriel was chatting with Sans while Asgore gazed at her lovingly from afar. Tipping your head to the side, you thought for a bit before thrusting out a thumbs up at her.

"Y-yeah!!! Yeah, that's what I hope, too. Just think about how cute they must have been together." Sans noticed that you were still here, glancing away from Toriel, you smirked at him. He mearly glared at you, not quite getting why you were smirking at him again. Just then you felt a heavy warmth on your shoulder, looking up you noticed that it was the king. Pulling you away from Alphys, he bent down with a bit of sadness in his eyes. He wanted to say that he was sorry for trying to take your soul.

"I feel very bad about it. I hope we can still be pals." You gave him a funny look, before embracing him. Asgore was shocked at first, but returned the hug. Undyne walked over and patted Asgore on his back. Telling him not to worry about it since everyone in the underground had tried to kill you at least once. "Oh... I see...In that case, I'm not sorry, Frisk." You chuckled a bit as Undyne started to laugh.

"ASGORE! That's not what I meant!"

You smiled warmly as your new friends continued to interact with each other. They looked so happy, that it pained you to walk away from it all. You didn't want to get in the way and there was something you had to do...something you had to see. Walking away from the throne room, you were about to make your way out of New Home, when you noticed the strange pathway that led to the basement. Curious, you made your way back down. The room that held the sealed coffins of the human souls and that of the adopted child of the King and Queen, seemed a bit off. They were all opened...they didn't house the souls anymore, so that made sense. Looking inside you noticed a couple of mummified bandages laying at the bottom. Feeling a slight chill, you left New Home.

Making your way out of the core, you made it to MTT Resort. Everyone was bustling around, telling everyone they knew that the barrier was broken. Wondering, you made your way towards the small fast food restaurant where your very stressed out friend worked. You asked if he knew about the whole barrier thing, he said that he did...that Mettaton told him (kinda explained why he wasn't with everyone, too busy spreading the word) but that it didn't excuse him to leave work early. Feeling bad for him, you decided to give him a small break by pulling him away from his work a bit to let him vent out.

Feeling that he had relaxed a bit, you continued your way through out the resort. Leaving the building, you walked to the side and noticed that Catty and Bratty were still there. They talked about having cats or...eating them, you weren't quite sure, but you smiled at them as you waved them goodbye. Passing Hotland, you made sure to talk to all those you have meet, even the lion monster who apparently received that Mettaton dress he admired. You didn't forget Muffet, she literally wrapped you up in her many arms, saying how happy she was to have made enough money to rescue the spiders in the Ruins and then some.

The news about the barrier even reached waterfall. Everyone was glad, even the puzzler...sort of. Walking in Gerson's shop, you wondered if he remebered that story he said he would tell you. He said he did remember, that it was because of Toriel that he called Asgore, King Fluffybuns. Apparently she accidentally said it front of everyone during a monthly address at the castle. Everyone started laughing but stopped when the king calmed the room. But through out the event, the king started calling himself King Fluffybuns. You smiled to yourself as you tried to imagine it. The king really loved his people. You wanted to know more about them and ended up finding an embarrassing story about Toriel and a 'mu-mu' incident. Which you were planning to use it on her for an emergency. Then Gerson told you how Asgore was a boss monster, which ment that he would never age unless they had a child.

'What if they adopted a human child?'

He said that it wouldn't work, that they would still outlive you. You weren't too sure how you felt about that. You were happy to know that you won't have to worry about seeing them wither away...but if the situation was reversed... shaking your head, you continued to listen to the old turtle's stories. How lovey-dovey the King and Queen were, how he used to be a hero and how Undyne tried to be like him when she was little. Waving goodbye, you made your way towards Napsablook's place. Only to trip a bit as you noticed that Mettaton was there too.

"There you are Frisk-darling." He placed a kiss on the side of both cheeks. "Feast your eyes!" He gave out dramatic pose, "Dr. Alphys completed my wonderful new body." How long were you asleep you wondered. He gushed about how he couldn't wait to see the sun now that the barrier was broken. He even thanked you for reminding him of how fun it was to perform with others. He even decided to make a band with Shyren as a back-up singer, "And Bl...Napsablook here, will be my sound mixer!" He said as he dragged the hiding ghost into a one handed embrace. You smiled at them, you enjoyed hearing about everyone's dreams. Even laughed when Napsablook asked for your name, apparently he was the only one who didn't know.

You didn't mind.

Walking along, you found a couple of more familer faces, even found one of the amalgamates. It seemed it was Shyren's sister. Even with everything that had happened to her, the sisters still smiled at each other. In Snowdin you saw the rest of them. Doggo thought it was great having an 'amorphous shambling family member', seems that it helps him see them better than anyone else. The married dogs were fine with it to, considering they might be siblings now since their parents are the same being. Wondering around, you noticed that the wolf monster wasn't throwing ice anymore. Evidently, he didn't need to anymore and now had time to buy some pants. You walked away, paying no mind that he was in fact, the only monster you met that wasn't wearing any clothes...besides Heats Flamesman.

Entering Grillby's, you noticed everyone in here had also caught wind of the broken barrier. Talking about special drinks, hot guys, human food and bathrooms. Even not needing to translate for Grillby. Which it turns out that he was just making things up, that Grillby was capable of talking, just didn't wish to at the time. Looking up at him, he stopped cleaning his glass to stare at you too. After a while of just looking at each other, you smiled warmly at him.

"...Good job."

'Thank you...'

Leaving the bar, you found out that the King forgave Alphys for what she had done, even gave her a big hug. Unfortunately, Toriel wasn't all that forgiving, seeing how she fired her. You were a bit sad about that, but knew that Undyne would be there to comfort her. You even found out that Papyrus had made a fan which made you happy again. Going further down Snowdin, you noticed that no one thought you were a human, besides Monster Kid and Grillby.

Once again, you didn't mind.

Through Snowdin Forest you found what once was a frozen plate of spaghetti was now a lukewarm one. Even the paper beside it changed. Papyrus really was something... you thought. Visiting the lone snowman, you dug into your pocket and tried to give it back. But he refused, instead asking if you could take it with you to the surface. Nodding softly, you agreed to keep it safe. Trying to reach the end, you found another amalgamate family. It seems the mother of Snowdrake was one of them. The father was glad to see her alive, even if she was combined with 16 other people.

Entering the Ruins, the Frogitts were glad to hear that the door of the Ruins was opened. But got nervous when you told them that the barrier was opened as well. Guess they couldn't handle the thought of having not just the rest of the underground to explore. Going through everything, you really had time to finally take it all in. How beautiful and magical it was down here. But for those who have been trapped their whole lives in a place like this, you could see how it could start to turn into a prison. No...even with your short time here, you also felt how restricting it was. Near the end, you finally reached the place where you fell. Standing besides the bed of golden flowers, was Asriel. Calmly, you walked towards him...afraid you might scare him.

He was looking down at the flowers, with a face that broke your heart. Was there nothing you could do for him, you thought. But no matter what you could think of, you knew that there was nothing you could do. Resting a hand on his shoulder, you took a peek at his face. Noticing the sad smile growing on it.

"Don't worry about me. Somone has to take care of these flowers." You didn't let go, resting your chin on his shoulder, he placed a paw on your hand. "Frisk, please leave me alone. I can't come back. I just can't, ok?" You wrapped your arms around him, buring your face against his shaking back. He held tighter onto your hand as his word started to shake. "I don't want to break their hearts all over again. It's better if they never see me." Letting him go, he sat down...petting the heads of the flowers near him. Watching him, you decided to sit next to him. Flopping to the ground, you rested your head against his shoulder. "...why are you still here?"

'Just resting for a bit.' You signed.

"Are you trying to keep me company?" You mearly smiled, avoiding his question. "Frisk..."

For short while, the two of you stayed seated, not saying a word. You were finally resting peacefully. You might have even fallen asleep if Asriel didn't shift a bit. "Let me ask you a question. Frisk...why did you come here?" He asked you why did you climb the mountain when everyone knew that those who do, usually end up disappearing. "Frisk. Why would you ever climb a mountain like that?"

You didn't move as your mind wondered to the day you desperately climbed the mountain. Maybe that's what you really wanted to do. You wanted to dissappear... to escape from everything.

"Was it foolishness...was it fate? Or was it... because you...?" Feeling your body stiffened, he stopped asking. "I know why Chara climbed the mountain. It wasn't for a very happy reason." Chara...you knew that name. It was mentioned in the files you found in the headmistress room. You could probably guess why they were on the mountain. Asriel told you how Chara hated humanity but never shared why. He said how you were diffrent from them. But thinking closely, you knew you weren't all that diffrent. Even though you had every right to hate the humans, you didn't. You pitted them...but you didn't hate them. You were one of them after all. Asriel said how he wasn't to sure why he confused you with them. "Chara wasn't really the greatest person. While, Frisk...you're the type of friend I wish I always had. So maybe I was kind of projecting a little bit."

'A little bit?'

Asriel let out a short laugh. "Let's be honest. I did some weird stuff as a flower." You shoved him a bit with your shoulder and he shoved you back. "There's one last thing I feel I should tell you." Asriel told you of when he combined his soul with Chara. That they shared control of the body. How it was Chara who took their body to the village. They wanted to fight the humans. But Asriel refused...taking back the the empty shell they both ended up dying on the bed of flowers. Asriel started blaming himself, if he had done something wrong, then maybe he and Chara wouldn't have ended the way they did. "But now...meeting you...Frisk, I don't regret that decision anymore." He hadn't caused a war against the humans and in the end...everyone was set free. Resting your head back on his shoulder, he thanked you for listening to him but that you should really be with your friends.

He was right, but even so...you wanted to rest for a bit longer. You weren't sure what will happened when you went back to them. So you wanted to take an advantage of the small peace you had right now. Asriel asked you for one more favor, that if you saw him again in the future...to always remember how he is now...and not the monster he might turn out to be. "Be careful on the outside world. Despite what everyone thinks, it's not as nice as it is here." You couldn't help it, you had to laugh a bit.

'Your right. But I'm stronger now...and I'll do everything I can to protect them.'

"Don't kill, and don't be killed, alright?"

'Don't worry...I won't. To stubborn to think otherwise.'

Asriel laughed at that before saying goodbye. You didn't move though.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" You stretched your body out as you slumped your head onto his lap.

'Nope!' You closed your eyes.

"Frisk..."

'Don't wanna, I'm too busy napping.' He let out a shaky sigh before smiling at you. After awhile you started to feel his body start to fade. Opening your eyes, you saw that he was gone and you were laying on the bed of flowers staring at the opening up above. Saying a silent goodbye, you made your way back to your friends.

Facing all your friends, you grabbed hold of Papyrus' and Sans' hands, dragging everyone with you as you ran towards the exit. Standing at the edge of the cliff, everyone gazed at the rising sun with awe. Asgore and Toriel almost forgot how beautiful the sun really was, while everyone else was looking at it for the first time. You stood next your mom, but instead of watching the sun, you stared at their faces, enjoying the wonder that displayed on them. The moment was short lived, when the king and Queen asked of you could act as their ambassador to the humans. Feeling the determination inside you grow, you agreed. That you would do everything could to help them. One by one, your friends left to venture around the mountain, leaving you alone with Toriel. Who asked if you would like to stay with them or of there was some where else you had to be. Right away, you shook your head, that there was no other place you would rather be then with your friends. Which brought joy to her, patting your head she went in search of the wondering monsters, making sure they didn't get into any trouble. Standing alone, you looked over at the horizon.

It felt so long since you saw the sun, even when everyone thought that you where in the underground for those couple of days. But you weren't too sure, from all the deaths and fighting...it felt so much more. Feeling a small cold wind against your back, you turned around. Facing the gapping hole on the side of the mountain that led to the underground...you were compelled to walk towards it. The closer you got, the more the small gust of wind started to make a sound. Your gaze was so transfixed at the dark enterance that you didn't notice Sans had come to fetch you.

Sans squinted his eye sockets as he watched you. Your body was so still as you continued to stare into nothing.

"kiddo?" You didn't respond. Sans carefully started to walk towards you.

"hey...you ok there?" You still didn't respond. Deep in the dark, you could faintly hear a strange whispering...calling for you. Sans gently placed his hand on your shoulder, "frisk...?" He felt your body stir, but still, you didn't respond. Papyrus then came jogging by, looking for his brother.

"SANS!?...HUMAN? WHAT..." Sans let go of your shoulder and went over to his brother.

"bro, something's ...wrong..."

"W-Wrong..?" They both stared at you as you started to walk forward. The closer you got, the clearer you could make out the strange whispering. Feeling the cold wind start to coil around your body, you slowly turned your head around towards the brothers.

"Sans...Papyrus..."

"kid?! you can talk!???"

"HUMAN! YOU NEVER TOLD US YOU COULD SPEAK!" There surprise disappeared when you raised your hand towards them,

"Help..." Their eyes sockets went wide open, as fast as they could, they tried to reach your hand as the wind started to pull on you.

"k-kid...don't go..." Try as they might, the brothers were losing their grip. At this time, Toriel had gathered everyone back to the cliff, they all stood in horror as they watch as your body get sucked up by darkness.

"frisk!!!"

"FRISK!!"

Both brothers shouted out for you. Toriel covered her mouth as she let out a blood curdling scream. Everyone was too stunned to move. Papyrus and Sans rushed back to the enterance of the underground as they tried to find you. Hearing them shout your name, the rest of the monsters joined in their search. But as they entered, the walls of the mountain started to disappear. Papyrus watched in horror as his friends soon disappeared as well while Sans continued to frantically search for you.

"kid!? where are you!"

"Sa-sans..."

"papyrus?..."

"They're... All ...Gone..." Looking back at his brother, he saw the world behind him was gone...nothing but empty black space. The darkness soon dissolved the world around them. Papyrus held onto his brother's coat, staying as close to him as the floor underneath them started to give. Little by little the floor started to crumble. Papyrus was the next to go. Sans eyes sockets widen as he held as tightly as he could onto his brother. But soon he too faded into nothing.

Your body began to fall into darkness, until you crashed onto the floor. Gasping out your pain, your body laid flat on the cold ground. Your soul floated out of your chest, shining against the dark. You lifted your hands towards it, trying to cup it towards your body. The cold wind returned, caressing you. You let out a shuttered breath as dark decayed hands started to slid across your arms. Watching as they joined your hands, you were frozen still, your body couldn't move as they dug their nails into your hands. Hearing a raspy whisper on the side of your face, you soon saw a dark face beside you. All you could make out was their red blood eyes and their wide smile. Unable to look away, you noticed the shadowed face start to stare at your soul. They're smile widen more, more than you thought was possible. Pulling away from them, you too watched your soul.

The bright red hue that was once your soul, started to coil. Turning into a gleaming blood red.
