"What'cha lookin at?" A voice said, causing her to jolt, and swing. "H-hey!"
Flowey narrowly dodged the stick, the flower having popped out of a crack nearby. He gave her a look, as she let out a sigh. Huffing some, and shrugging.
"I thought you were an angel." She explained.
"An angel?" He asked.
"Ya know, those freaky things with like hundreds of eyes, who kill people when they look at them?" Chara commented, gaining a humm from him. "You've never heard of them?"
"Usually people say they like them, or something." Flowey commented. "Find them reassuring, or whatever. Think one'll save them."
"They creep me out." The girl noted, asking. "Also, Howdy Partner."
"Howdy." He responded, tiredly. "So...she just left you here?"
"Had to go do stuff." She replied.
"Right...well, at least she seemed happy to see you." Flowey hummed. "Also, before you ask...I was around. I just...doubt she'd be as glad to see me."
Chara shrugged. "She's usually pretty friendly." He gave a doubting expression. "Hey, I get it, you're shy. No worries Petals."
"That is...a terrible nickname." He noted.
"Not not inaccurate." She smiled some.
"Ughh." He sighed.
The two were quiet for a moment. Glancing towards the entrance leading in. Chara huffed some, checking her phone, debating calling. Putting that up for now, she noticed a rock.
"Hey Flowey-" She picked up a rock. "Check this out."
Taking the rock, she felt its weight in her hand. Turning her focus to the wall across from her. The Flower watching curiously. Tossing it out, it skipped across the floor, smacking the wall. The force prompting it to bounce, and fall about halfway back.
"Neat." He replied.
"That wasn't the trick, petals. So...hang on, I got this." She stated, picking up another.
"What are you trying to do?" He inquired.
"Just give it a moment, you'll see." The girl stood up properly.
Taking a moment to examine the distance between her and the wall. Using her fingers as a sort of guide for a moment, she held out her hand. Imagining a line for where the rock would go. The world seemed to slow, as she imagined the different ways she could throw it. Until, at last, only one remained.
Flowey raised a brow. "What are you doing?"
Taking a breath, she pulled her arm back. Before snapping it forward. The rock hitting the ground at an angle, ricocheting against the wall, before bouncing back. It sailed back, and a quick motion saw her snatch it from the air. Smiling a proud little smile in the aftermath.
"Tada!" She exclaimed.
"H-how did you know it would do that?" Flowey asked, looking genuinely surprised. "That was so cool!"
"Well you know," She got a devious look. "I'm quite the Chara-cter."
"And you ruined it...good going." He said back. "Still neat, I guess."
Chara shrugged. "Well, I'm known to do a Gneiss Job."
"Was...Was that a pun?" Flowey asked dubiously.
"Sorry, It's just...we've been off to a rocky start-" Chara noted casually. "So, I figured I'd brighten the mood."
The flower seemed annoyed. "Stop."
She snickered a bit, and the pair once more went back to waiting. With Chara now and then tossing the rock. Catching it, and tossing it again. At a point, she offered Flowey to try. Though, he just shook his head, declining the offer.
Waiting as it turned out, was not the childs strongest suit. Her mind, her soul kept pressing her to continue on. And after letting the rock drop, she began pacing. The Flower watching her move back and forth. Somewhat confused looking.
Chara gave a glance to the doorway. How long had it been? 20 minutes, thirty? She took out her phone, and began pressing the buttons until it brought up Toriels number. Putting the phone on speaker, as the ringing began to fill the empty hall. The duo watching it with mixed anticipation. And then...it clicked. Nobody answered.
Flowey blinked a few times, noticing Chara mumbling something. He couldn't quite make it out. He attempted to listen in and was able to piece together that she was muttering about whether or not Toriel was alright.
"You shouldn't worry about Toriel." He said knowingly. "She's...pretty strong, she'll be fine."
"But what if-" Chara began.
"She'll be alright," Flowey assured her, almost amused.
Finally, she stopped pacing, and looked to the door. With a huff she started walking towards the door. The Flower giving a surprised look, diving into the soil, before appearing in front of her.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"But she didn't answer the phone-" She stepped past him. "What if something bad happened?"
"C-Chara-" The Flower groaned, appearing in the next room with her. "Just slow down would ya, I doubt anything in the ruins could hurt your mom."
"Ugh, why did you even show up, if you don't wanna help me?" The child asked, crossing her arms.
Flowey blinked, and frowned. "I didn't say...I don't wanna help you. I was there to try and keep you safe, until your mom showed back up."
Having entered the room, she noticed the purple shine on entry. Still uncertain of what it was, exactly. But it didn't matter. She had more pressing thoughts right now.
"Are you going to come with me, or are you going to run away?" She demanded.
"Of course I'm gonna go with you." Flowey sighed in defeat.
"Well great cuz-" The world suddenly flashed, turning red and dark.
Her attention turning to a rather beat up looking monster. Like a frog, with what could best be described as 'fangs.' Her surprise matched by Floweys.
It seemed...they were about to be in a fight.
