Notes: If you go against your family's will for a good reason ... does it make it right? Asking for a friend...
Ebott Ville, Peace Memorial Avenue, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
Running through a storm is not easy. My socks are drenched. Same goes for every piece of clothing on my body.
**"CAN YOU STOP JUST FOR A MINUTE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF? YOU... YOU BUTTFACE!"
Chara, please! There is no time...jeez, I'm getting really tired. Look, I'll explain everything later. Just let me save them first.
**"Ugh, Fine…"
Thanks!
Thankfully, the park is not that far away from home. Another good thing about being adopted by the queen of the underground is that we could freely choose where the new house would be built in the new part of the city. It was built to accommodate all the monster residents from the underground, which is a lot!
Almost there!
**"Okay I get it, he's your friend, but Frisk! If that monster didn't come from the underground, then where did they come from?"
See, uh... that's a very funny story!
**" I swear if you are going to give me an excuse-"
No! It's just... you won't understand if I don't explain it from the beginning.
I don't think you'd believe me anyways.
**"Patience is not my virtue Frisk! You know that! Also, what makes you think I would'nt believe in you? I trust you."
I'm sorry, I know. I just...huff…okay... the weight from the water in my sweater isn't doing me any favors…
Why was I wearing the heaviest sweater I have?!
Chara please, just let me save him first! When he is not in danger anymore I'll tell you everything.
And surely everyone else will want a piece of me too after this…
**" Frisk look I-I'm here for you, as is mom, the comedian, and Papyrus. Even Undyne and Alphys. You're not alone pal, we've got your back! And," Here Chara sighs, before continuing, "I'm sorry... I shouldn't ask about the things you want to keep a secret. I have my fair share of those too, after all."
Okay, that made me slow down a little. Chara NEVER apologizes.
**"Ugh, screw you."
Well, I never intended to hide this, to begin with. Let me explain from the beginning or else you might just get confused. I've always felt guilty for never telling you.
...And Chara?
**"Yes?"
Thank you for trusting me, and I'm not just thanking you for this time but for all the other ones, too.
**"Sure thing Frisky business!"
I had to take a break after running for 15 minutes straight. No matter how much Undyne trained me, she's never prepared me for running in a storm!
*The downpour is relentless.
*Having someone to protect fills you with Determination.
FILE SAVED
I'm close enough when I hear it.
*CLANK. CLANK. CLANK.*
Oh no!
That's Asgore's trident meeting with concrete!
Wait, concrete?
Rushing closer to the scene I notice that all of the present -with the exception of Undyne- watch Asgore in awe. For someone who would be witnessing a magic battle for the first time, it's extraordinary. It's no surprise they all seem stumped.
Blue, blue, blue, orange…
I watch the shadow creature dodge. He's pretty good at it!
Stay still...
One...
Two...
Three...
MOVE!
*CLANK. CLANK. CLANK. CLANK.*
Jeez, I still have nightmares with those blinking eyes and that trident…
**" Wow, whoever that is, he knows how to dodge!" Chara points over my shoulder, floating off the ground to see.
This is bad, when we fought against Asgore he was not going all out like he is now! What to do, what to do?
"FRISK!" I hear someone shout!
WHOA! Papyrus is soon standing right in front of us. How did he even get here so fast? The water slides down and over his skull, and he doesn't even seem the least bit tired.
"DEAR HUMAN FRISK, AS MUCH AS I LIKE TO EXERCISE AND BE FIT AND READY FOR ANY CHALLENGE, I HAVE TO SAY THAT A STORM IS, IN NO WAY, AN OBSTACLE! IT IS EASILY OVERCOME BY YOURS TRULY!" He strikes a heroic pose before finishing his spiel. He's so cool! "AND I AM VERY SURE WE SHOULD HAVE ASKED MISS ASGORE'S CLONE FOR HER AUTHORIZATION FOR AN OUTSIDE ACTIVITY BECAUSE WHILE THIS MAY ONLY BE A PERSONAL OPINION, I THINK SHE'S-"
"FRISK DREEMURR STOP RIGHT THIS MOMENT OR ELSE…" Toriel makes her presence known with a howling warning. She looks exhausted, sorry mom.
"-NOT THRILLED ABOUT HAVING A HEALTHY RACE TO THE PARK IN THE RAIN." Papyrus looks down at me, smiling like he usually does. Oh Papyrus.
Well, thankfully my heart was still pumping with adrenaline from running for so long! If not, I'm sure it would have ended up stopping completely by now.
"Oh. Umm, sorry Pap. It's just… complicated." The confused skeleton only glances at me anxiously but distracts himself with the battle a couple of meters away from us.
**" I was going to tell you that he was tailing us closely, but I figured you wouldn't have given a single crap to what he had to say since you were running like a madman."
Oh thank you so very much Chara, your help is very appreciated.
**" Shut it buttface, sometimes you don't deserve my incredible guidance"
If your help is soooo incredible, tell me; how do I stop Mr. Dad Guy from hurting my friend? I mean... look! He's not even attacking Asgore back… he doesn't want to fight! He's not always like this. I don't even know why is he in that form…
**"Form? You mean to say that that is not his real appearance?"
"heya kid, gonna tell what made you run like you had your pants on fire? weird, 'cause I see them soaking wet right now"
WHOA! Not again!
He just… appeared out of nowhere!
**"He took a shortcut, Frisk. A bad timed one, that is."
"Umm I… eerrrr…" I wring my wet sweater between my hands and can feel it splatter water all over my shoes. Ew.
I didn't have time to think of a good excuse as rings of fireballs started to get closer and closer to Asgore's opponent and the "monster" started to get hit by them.

HP:3452/5000…
HP:3446/5000….
*He doesn't want to kill Asgore.
I grit my teeth at the sight. It reminds me so much of my battles with Asgore and Flowey.
Like father like son, right?
I have never wanted to fight, yet they were set on killing me… welp, no time for gloomy thoughts!
*A friend is still in danger.
[ACT]
*Get in the middle *Shout
*Plead
*Get in the middle
Papyrus and Sans knew better than to try to stop me. They never could in the underground and they wouldn't be able to on the surface, either. Knowing this, they followed me until reaching the police circled area. They stayed there but I quickly slipped through.
"PLEASE DAD, STOP!" I shouted. Owwie! I always forget how much shouting hurts. I stood between both males, successfully stopping them from hurting each other.
Obviously I didn't want to get impaled by the king's trident again, so I left a margin of about one meter from him and outstretched my arms in a placating way. His eyes grew wide and he stopped dead in his tracks. Something… something flashed through his gaze... like a phantom memory, but it was gone as quickly as it came. I'm not sure what emotion was shown, or maybe I just imagined it.
"Fr-Frisk what are you doing here, child?" Asgore's eyes widened, and he glanced back towards the monster worriedly.
"Asgore, please! Don't harm him, he's my friend!" I pleaded using the best puppy face I have.
**" It's not working Frisk!" Chara looked up at Mr. Dad Guy, and even she was scared.
She is right! His stance didn't falter... but he stopped throwing fireballs so at least that's something!
**"Because you are in the middle. If you weren't…"
I know… I don't want to think about it.
*The rain has stopped.
"Meeeow?" I hear the softest meow, and I almost died right then and there.
OMG. That was sooooo cuuuute! I suppressed a squeal as I heard him meowing questioningly behind me again. I turned around and extended my hand. I had to be quick! This might be my only chance to pet him!
"DO. NOT. TOUCH IT, Frisk!" Asgore's commanding voice reverberates in the park and I don't care one bit. The cat-like monster stilled; though as if afraid of breathing.
Asgore's comanding voice reverberates in the park and I don't care one bit. The cat-like monster, though, stilled as if afraid of breathing.
I take a step closer to my transformed friend. He most be so confused.
Yes! I made contact! I can finally touch him!
"Hi! Pleased to finally see you again Mr. Higgsbury! Do you remember me? We used to talk a lot. Are you there? Don't worry, they won't hurt you if I'm here!" I talk happily to the black monster, and it's like all his worries just slip out of him.
He looks so happy! My SOUL feels all fuzzy inside at the sight of him trusting me even when he's like this.
"FRISK DREEMURR. STOP RIGHT THERE!" Uh oh, Toriel finally caught up to us. Okay, now I'm ROYALLY screwed.
Gone was the sweet and loving goat mama; and now, in her stead, stood a very stern looking queen, right next to her(?) king.
She was LIVID.
