"Well that sure took you a long time to escape."
"Escape?"
"Look brat, all you have to do is keep going forward and DO NOT look back, got it?"
"But..."
"You wanna go home, dont'cha? So hurry up and 'meet' Asgore so you-"
"Flowey...I don't think I can go thr-"
"Yo! Are you a kid?" Bonbon stopped in her tracks as she noticed a monster who was a couple of inches taller then her. The monster had spikes down his back and was wearing an orange and yellow striped sweater. "Well are you? You have funny looking stripes so..." Bonbon smiled and nodded, jostling Flowey in the process.
"Cool! Then that means you must be sneaking out to see her too right?! I heard she was in town, but I didn't see her. I bet you were thinking the same thing too right?" Bonbon blinked as she was quiet confused by who he was referring to.
"Awesome! I also think she might have gone back to Waterfall. She's the coolest, right?" Bonbon lost in the conversation, she continued to smile and nodded at his words.
" heya munchkin," tipping to her left, she noticed Sans slouched over a sentry post.
"How did...we literally just left..." said Flowey with a deadpan look while Bonbon giggled to see him so soon.
" a friend of yours?" Sans said as he looked at the young monster in front of her.
"Names Monster Kid, but everyone calls me MK, you won't tell my parents that I'm out here...will you?"
" nah kid, to lazy to remember," looking back to Bonbon he asked, "seeing how you left in such a hurry, wanna head out to Grillby's" Bonbon nodded vigorously while jumping up and down with her arms up. " alright munchkin, up you go." But as he was about to lift her, he noticed a very annoyed flower, glaring at him. " sorry weed, but three's a crowd." Picking up the pot, he tossed him ontop of his sentry post. Bonbon being weed free, he lifted her up, settling her over his shoulders. " hang on munchkin, i know a shortcut."
"WE'RE NEVER GOING TO LEAVE!" Flowey's cried rang through out as Sans and Bonbon left him.
Sans took a few steps, quickly entering and leaving a dark void, before landing right infront of Grillby's. Well, he thought he was in front of it, for all he could see was darkness. Sans was a bit confused, reaching his for his eyesockets for they also felt ...off...He found that Bonbon had dug her hands inside. " uh, munchkin? "
"Oh...oops., I dont...why was it so dark?"
" sorry, i should have warned you," Sans greeted everyone at the bar before standing in front of his usual spot. Picking Bonbon up, he placed her ontop of the stool next to him. " heya Grillby, we'll have a double order of fries." Grillby looked down and saw Bonbon staring at him smiling with her arms out towards him. As if she waiting for him to hug her. "...huh...guess the kid likes ya..." Sans, for some reason didn't like how openly affectionate she was towards him. Sans watched as Grillby placed his hand on top of her head, petting her softly. Bonbon in returned reached up and hugged his arm. After the odd greeting, Grillby went to the back of the bar to get their orders.
"Sans...you ok?" Bonbon tipped her head as she looked at Sans hand, which were clenching and unclenching.
" yeah, just...so what do you think of my brother?"
"I like him, he's funny and he always makes me smile."
" heh, that great munch-"
"I like you too," Sans soul gave a small thump, " when I'm around you, I feel safer." Sans smiled wider at her words as Grillby arrived with their orders. "Oh oh! I also like Grillby, he's so warm! He makes me fell so toasty!" Sans phalanges scraped against the wooden counter top of the bar. Grillby merely raised an 'eyebrow' at him and patted her head before going back to work.
" well, 'bone' appétit, don't want these fries getting cold on us."
"Hee hee~" Bonbon stretched over Sans as she tried reaching out for the bottle of ketchup near him.
" heheh, something out a your reach there, munchkin?" Sans passed her the bottle. Bonbon giving him a soft thank you, she tipped the bottle over. The cap falls off and all the ketchup in the bottle pours onto her fries.
" whoops." Bonbon stared down at her ketchup drenched fries. " eh forgeddaboudit, you can have-" with a serious look on her face, she pulled out a straw in a dramatic swift movement and lodged it into her food. Sans melted onto the counter top, watching her eyes sparkled as she happily drank the ketchup. "Cute~" was the only word he could think off as he watched her. "you sure we're not related or something?" Bonbon glanced towards him. Sans face warmed up and looked away from her.
"What?" Trying to cover up, he started telling her stories about Papyrus till she finished her meal. When she finished her cheeks were stained with ketchup. Picking up a napkin, he gently wiped her face clean.
" paps really cares about you, so be careful out there ok? don't think twice to call either of us for help." Bonbon just smiled at him. " welp, i gotta head out, wanna walk back?" Bonbon nodded and lifted her arms up. Sans chuckled and lifted her up. Holding her tight, buring her face into his jacket, he took his shortcut back to his post. Putting her down, he waved goodbye and went off to his other sentry post.
"Brat! How long were you going to make me wait! That monster runt kept assulting my ears with meaningless jabber!"
"Hee hee, you don't have ears."
"That's besides the point! Just hurry up and let's go." Bonbon picked up her friend, placing him ontop of her head and headed off.
"Wooooo!" As she walked, she looked around her and noticed all the stones wedged onto the walls of the cave. "Pretty~" stopping as she stood in the middle of tall grass, she heard voices.
"UNDYNE PLEASE! YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO WATERFALL! DON'T YOU WANT TO SEARCH THE TOWN SOME MORE? YES...YES I KNOW YOU HAVE SEARCHED IT TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY...BUT...YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE HUMAN'S SOUL...JUST...I'M SORRY UNDYNE, BUT I ...I CAN'T ASSIST YOU ON THIS...IM..SORRY." Bonbon feeling awkward on listening to someone's conversation she decided to leave. But before she could take another step, she heard the steps of somone wearing armor. Standing still, she waited till they left. Jumping out of the grass, she let out a sigh.
"Wow! That was intense!" Her arms shooting to the air.
"Brat? Weren't you scared?!"
"Scared? Why?" Looking back, she noticed that the same young monster from before was also hiding amongst the tall grass.
" Yo, did you see that, she was staring at you?" Bonbon tipped her head sideways, "that... was AWSOME, I'm so jealous! What did you do to get her attention ha ha?" Bonbon moved her shoulders up and down. "C'mon! Let's go watch her beat up some bad guys." Monster Kid ran off, but not before tripping and falling flat on his face.
"Hee hee" Bonbon ran off, following MK. But as she entered the next room, she found that he wasn't there. Walking, she noticed the yellow star. Running towards it, she touched it before walking further. As she did, she noticed a couple of strange plants and a sign over them. Staring at it for awhile, Flowey spoke,
"do you get it?"
"I can't read."
"Stop staring and ask! You idiot. Just grab those and place them on the water." After placing the flower seeds everywhere she could think of, she manage to cross to the next room.
"Brat, how did your clothes get all dirty?" Bonbon looked down at herself,
"oh, you mean this?...I di-" Just then a monster spotted her, "oh! It's Mr. Seahorse again."
"Again? What do you mean again?" Flowey asked as Aaron pulled out her soul. Bonbon watched as Aaron started to flex. Giggling she lifted one arm, " what are you doing?"
"Flexing!"
"You're just putting up your arm..." Aaron winked at the small human.
"Flexing contest? OK, flex more!" Aaron flexed, and Bonbon raised her other arm, "Nice! Though I won't lose!" Aaron flexed some more and Bonbon raised both of her arms high, standing on the tips of her toes. Aaron was impressed and started flexing very hard, that his veins started to show from strain.
"Run you idiot!," Shouted Flowey. Bonbon ran off as Aaron muscles carried him away. "Your an idiot you know, and he's a bigger idiot for not knowing how much of an idiot YOU really are!"
"Hee hee that's your favorite word huh?"
"Shut up and go" Flowey sighed. Reaching the next room, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"HELLO! THIS IS PAPYRUS! HOW ARE YOU!?"
"Good"
"WELL, THAT'S GOOD. REMEBER TO CALL ME IF YOUR IN ANY DANGER"
"Okay."
"YOUR NOT IN ANY DANGER...ARE YOU?" Bonbon rubbed her eyes, for a second, for she thought she could see Papyrus coming out of the phone.
"No~"
"PERFECT! YOUR MY FRIEND AND I WANT YOU TO STAY SAFE. I WOULD LIKE IT IF YOU CAME HOME RIGHT NOW, BUT...YOU WOULDN'T LIKE THAT...Would You. HAVE A NICE TIME IN YOUR LITTLE ADVENTURE! REMEMBER TO CALL IF YOU SENSE DANGER!" Hanging up Bonbon walked to the next room.
Looking around she noticed signs all over the cave walls, shining stones on the cave ceiling and the echo flowers giving off a small bluish glow. Looking up, she awed " They look like stars!"
"Stars huh..."
"Well, I think so, I never saw them before."
"Didn't you use to live in the surface?"
"Yes, but I couldn't leave the house, and I couldn't see them through the windows beacuse of all the tall trees surrounding the house." Walking through the cave, she could hear the echo flowers. "They're like tiny little whispers of dreams." She whispered.
"Your weird human, you know that." As he she walked, admiring her surroundings, a short turtle like monster shuffled by her.
"Hello~" she said, as she passed by him. Curious, Washua pulled out her soul. Bonbon stumbled by the sudden tug. Looking at the monster, she saw that the short monster was very clean, that he even sparkled. But she also noticed a small dirt spot on the glass shell on his back that housed a small bird. "Clean?" She asked. The monster swayed back and forth happily as his bird friend chirped. Cleaning him up, he let her go.
Dragging her hands on the cave walls, she manage to find a a secret cave door. Leading to a room, with planked floor over water. The walls were also covered with more signs. "Sigh, I wish I could read." Reaching the end, she wobbled a bit as the wooden board disconnected from the others, floating her across. Walking ahead, she noticed that it was eerily quiet. Stopping in her tracks as a glowing spear came flying by, landing near her.
"RUN YOU IDOT!," cried out Flowey. Bonbon ran across the the room as hundreds of glowing spears came raining upon her. As she ran, a spear manage to skim across her cheek. Running, she noticed another tall patch of grass. Taking her chance, she jumped in and hid amongst them, closing her eyes. Listening closely as who ever was chasing her got closer.
Opening her eyes, she saw that it was the armored monster. The monster then dug her hand deep into grass, lifting up MK by his cheek. The armored monster stared at MK before releasing him and walking away. Seeing that she was gone, Bonbon walked out of the grass.
"Yo! Did you see that!? Undyne just... TOUCHED ME! I'm never washing my face again! Man if you were standing just a little bit to the left..." Bonbon giggled to see him so excited. " Yo, don't worry! I'm sure we'll see her again!" Bonbon waved goodbye as he tripped and fell before running off again. Following MK, she found a another star. Touching it, caused her wounds to start to heal. Flowey sighed.
"I'm so warn out, I rather not deal with him" poofing deep into the dirt in his pot.
"Who?"
" heya munchkin!" Sans winked as he stood next to a telescope.
"Sans!" Bonbon ran off and hugged his legs. Sans chuckled as he dislodged her.
" i'm thinking bout getting into the telescope busi-" Sans stopped, as he looked closer at her, noticing the small healing scar. His soul clenched, gritting his teeth he gently touched the scar. " who ...did..." swallowing his anger, he sighed" does it...hurt?"
"Hmm?" Bonbon said as she held onto his hand that rested on her cheek. Letting go, she skipped towards the telescope, "You were saying something about this telescope?" Sans snapping out of it and told her how it would normally cost 50000 G to use it,
" since i like ya, you can use it for free. howzabout it?" Giggling she placed her eye on the lid. After awhile, she let go.
"I don't see anything?" Sans stifled his laughter, for Bonbon had a large red circle surrounding the eye she used. Bonbon unable to understand what was so funny, decided to look again, but with her other eye.
" uhhh! wait!"
"I still don't see anything" she puffed. Sans stared as both of Bonbon eyes were rimmed red.
"bwhahahaha! oh my god munchkin!" Sans held his ribs, as if they were about to burst. Wiping a tear, he grabbed a small cloth from his jacket pocket. "i bet you have a 'panda-monium' of problems don't you. it was 'un-bear-able' to see you do that twice. i could 'bearly' contain myself."
"Bear puns?" Bonbon asked as she closed on of her eyes, as Sans started cleaning her face.
" i better clean you up, since you made quite a spectacle of yourself."
" Hee hee now that's a glasses pun! Was there something on my face?"
" nope, not anymore. now run along, 'eye' will see you later." Waving her off, a confused Bonbon went to the small cave near by.
"It's the Nice Cream rabbit!"
"Well if it isn't my favorite customers." Standing in the far end of the small cave was Guy with his cart of nice creams. "I relocated my stand, what do you think?"
"I like it!"
"Yeah me too, still no costumers though." Digging into his pocket, he took out a couple of cards. Posing infront of her in a dramatic move," Fortunately! I thought of solution. PUNCH CARDS! Everytime you buy a Nice Cream, you take a punch card from the box. If you have 3 cards, you can trade them in for a free Nice Cream!" Bonbon clapped at the news, before buying one. Putting the Nice Cream into her pocket, she went towards the box and grabbed a card.
"Hello snails." She said before closing it.
"Tell your friends, there's ice cream hidden in the depths of the watery cavern." Guy said as he waved her goodbye.
Happy about her purchase,she walked out of the cave, accidently running into a small seed looking monster."Oops, sorry." The small monster looked at her with a small smile.
"What's a star? Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it?" The small seed got closer to Bonbon, "...are you a star?" Bonbon too shocked to scream, marched herself onto the next room.
"Well...that was disturbing."
"Flowey?! I thought you were sleeping?"
"What no, I just didn't want to deal with that trash bag, so how far are we?" Bonbon stopped and looked around. The placed was filled with luminating plants, water that gave off a small blue glow and whispers of the echo flowers surrounded them. Crouching down next to a mushroom, Bonbon placed her hand on top of it, which made a small squeak.
"It's so pretty in here" she giggled softly as she continued playing with the mushroom.
"Well don't get distracted, there's a long way to go." Brushing herself off, she continued her journey down waterfall.
