AN: Just a Quick Note, this little intro below is supposed to be a very vague summary of what's going to happen in the chapter, , so I know when to start or stop a chapter, otherwise I drag chapters on too long and they feel like a badly paced mess. Usually though, I try to write them in an entertaining and misinformed way, so for example if for some reason Chara killed Flowey, I would write something like "Chara picks some flowers" The reason I'm asking this is for a question, after reading this chapter, please let me know if I should keep them in for entertainment and foreshadowing purposes or leave them out, of course, you don't have to read them if you don't like spoilers, but like I said their vague and misleading so . . . just let me know, now I'm done rambling, Make sure to review this, I love feedback Enjoy!
Tonight in Overtale
Dreamception!
Frisk hates School
Asriel Threatens Frisk
And Racism!
Enjoy! :D
Long ago, two races ruled over Earth, humans and monsters.
One day, war broke out between the two races, and their lives were changed forever. Both sides felt they were right in their decisions and they both had such DETERMINATION, that the war lasted for years
After a long and painful battle, neither side could get an advantage, and so they split apart, Humans and monsters spread throughout the land. Some mixed together, but most separately between the two races.
Asriel's POV
Many Years Later- New Ebott, USE 20XX
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* The alarm clock wails, piercing my furry ears, instantly waking me up and
"Children, it is time to wake up" I heard my mother call out from downstairs."You two shouldn't be late for your first day of middle school"
I groaned and climbed out of my bed, pulling off my star pajamas, making sure that the cloth doesn't get stuck on the two little nubs on my head known as horns, if you could even call them that. Slipping on my green sweater, I walk over to Frisk's bed and shook her awake
"Frisk!" I called out to my sister, loudly but soft and kind. "It's time for school" The yellow human groaned, stretching her arms above her head as she wobbled out of her bed.
"Ugh, really" Frisk yawned "I barely even slept! Is it time for school already, I swear we had one more day of summer."
"Nope! School time, come on, I wanna see the new school!" I exclaimed, we were both now in sixth grade, so we were going to Ebbot MIddle School now, and I was excited, there would be so many new friends to make from the other elementary school that feeds into it. Frisk though, well she's never been a people person, or a monster person for that matter. Usually just hanging around her close friends, who, besides MK, were only adults.
"Fine, you know I don't want to though Asriel. If it were up to me, we would have our friends homeschool us. Wouldn't you want to learn Math with Mom, or Science with Alphys, or even Cooking with Undyne, . . Ok maybe the last one's a bad idea but still." Frisk explained her dream of not having to go to school, it's not that she didn't like learning, it was the opposite, she loved it, and almost always loved her teachers, it was the kids who ruined it, they were always worried about something else, or picked on her, or worried about picking on her.
"Children, breakfast is ready, I made butterscotch waffles!" Frisk sprung to life at the sound of that, quickly changing out of her pajamas and putting on her signature striped shirt and running down the stairs.
Frisk's POV
"Good morning Mom!" I called out to Toriel as I took a seat in the kitchen. Whiffing up the the sweet smells of Butterscotch through the air.
"Good morning Frisk, did you sleep well?" my mother asked me
"Okay, Asriel was talking in his sleep again, this time he was talking about Hopes and Dreams, it's strange that he would dream about dreams" Ever since I was adopted into the family, Asriel had always mumbled in his sleep, but recently, he had been normally talking and even sometimes yelling in his sleep. It's not so bad though, at least he's entertaining to listen to while trying, and failing, to sleep.
"I did? Again! How am I supposed to fix it?" Asriel's fluffy head popped into the room,as he peeked around the corner and headed to his seat, meanwhile Toriel brought over a plate of waffles, each of the siblings ravaging the plate, almost instantly, the waffles disappeared. . "Ah mean, you probably know what I dream about better than Ah do"
"Asriel, no talking with food in your mouth" Toriel scolded as I giggled at him "That goes for you too Frisk, doesn't matter if your a goat or a human, it's just as disgusting either way"
"Okay, Mom" I replied.
A brisk breeze blew across throughout the neighborhood as Asriel and I walked towards the bus stop, Mom had already left about a half an hour ago to head to the Elementary School. Now it was time for us to leave, I noticed our neighbor, Sans, waving to us as we exited and we both waved back
"You know what's also going to be weird Asriel?" I asked
"What? You already said like a hundred reasons you don't want to go to school" Asriel teased.
"Well. mom's not going to be there, we're never going to see her in the halls or anything" Frisk observed. This would be the first year of school they would have without her adopted mother.
"What! You're calling that a bad thing, I love Mom, but she is always so meticulous, she's a perfectionist!" Asriel says.
"Woah Asriel, hold up for the people that aren't as smart as you, Using big words today are we." Frisk teased with a smug smirk.
"Hey!" Asriel yelled "It's not that big of a word"
"You're such a dork" I said, and we both chuckled, it was all in good fun
"And you're just a silly human" Asriel put on a terrible, but also hilarious, furious facade, scowling while trying not to laugh at what he was about to say "You will fall to the monster race! You fools barely even have magic! Arrrrrgh!" Asriel tried his best to do an intimidating yell, maybe someone like dad could do, but instead it just looked like he was very angrily yawning,
Both of us lost it, now laughing as we walked, not being able to form any words. Eventually, we reached the end of our journey, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, normally, on days like these, kids like us would of been outside. But no, we were going to school. I was nervous, scared even, but the time on the way to the bus I spent with my brother filled me with DETERMINATION!
Asriel's POV
The bus ride was short and sweet, both me and Frisk just chatting about nothing, I was still worried about my continual sleep talking, but at the time I didn't want to bring it up. We walked into the school and got our schedules, comparing the two.
Asriel's Schedule
Homeroom- Mrs. Tikun (Tee-Kin)
1st Period- Math- Mr. Lebowski
2nd Period- P.E.- Mrs. Carply
3rd Period- Magic Essentials- Mr. Gaster
4th Period- History- Mrs. Jumbalee
5th Period- Biology of Humans- Dr. Jade
6th Period- Music and Arts- Ms. Allowa
7th Period- English-Mrs. Oak
Frisk seemed to have a very similar schedule to me, which calmed her nerves a bit. "Welp, it looks like we go to homeroom first. Come on, Frisk ours are next door to each other" I ran off ahead, trying to find our rooms. I explored the halls of the school, bustling around me were kids of many shapes and sizes, humans and monsters, I was happy to be here. Wait . . why was I happy to be here "Maybe Frisk was right, maybe I am a dork." I mumbled to myself as I walked into my homeroom, shaking off the down feeling I had from my thoughts. Who cares if people think I'm a dork, at least I'm having fun, Everyone is always so miserable at school.
"Good morning Class" The teacher in the front of the room called out. She was slightly chubby and had a bright smile on her face, "Im Mrs. Tikum, and I'm your homeroom teacher this year, now I know you guys are probably sick of things like this after doing them for seven years straight, but I would like to try to learn about all of you, please tell me your name and one thing about yourself. Let's start in the front here" She pointed at a short human girl in the front of the room. Wait is that . . .
"Hello, my name is Chara, and I really like chocolate" it was! I smiled to myself, I hadnt seen Chara since 5th grade. It was nice to see her after such a long summer.
I spaced out, barely paying attention to what any of the students were saying. There was a tall human boy, a chubby girl reptilian monster, and a few more I couldn't remember, most of them were either in different classes at my old school or were from the other school. It soon came to the girl before me, she was wearing her hair in pigtails, and besides her height looked like she was still in kindergarten Looks like someone gets babied by her parents I thought to myself. Not trying to be rude, even though she couldn't hear me, I cut the thought short.
"Hi, my name is Maddie" she said in what was almost a snooty voice that said, Im better than everyone here. Asriel was getting uncomfortable as she continued "and me and my mom think that magic should be illegal, and that monsters shouldn't be allowed to live with hu-" she was cut short by the teacher who instantly was almost fuming and she began to yell
"MADDIE! I do NOT tolerate such hate speech in my class, Monsters pose no threat to us, and help us as much as we help them. Go to the Principal's office NOW!" Woah! Mrs. Tikum was taking no prisoners.
"B-but" Maddie began, now trying to be defensive and earn some pity points, she pouted
"I said NOW!" Mrs. Tikum furiously pointed at the door, unphased by the attempt at exploitation. Maddie almost sprinted out of the room, frightened to the core. "I'm very sorry about that class, especially the monsters. I'd like you to know that if you EVER hear anyone talking like she just did towards monsters, or monsters talking that way towards humans, let me know, I will handle it. Anyways, we were on you" She pointed at me,and I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves after the events that occured.
"Howdy! I'm Asriel Dreemur, and I have an adopted human sister" I say my voice slightly shaken, it was the first thing that came to my head, and I wanted this class to be over with.
"Asriel?" Mrs. Tikum asked, now no longer burning red from anger, instead she had a compassionate smile on her face. It calmed me down, and I took another deep breath
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, just a bit spooked"
"There's an empty desk over near Chara, I usually keep the assigned seats the same all year, but due to the . . . event that just occurred with your neighbor, I think I can make an exception, just don't be a distraction or I'll have to move you somewhere else."
"Thank you Mrs. Tikum"
"No problem"
A few more minutes pass as my classmates and teacher get to know each other better, asking questions, everyone though, seemed to be on edge from what had happened earlier that morning, but it was lightening up.
"Asriel, you mentioned that you had an adopted sister, what's her name." I turned up to the teacher, hearing my name. Realising the question she just asked me, I answer
"Her name is Frisk, she's in the class next to me."
"Hmm, I'd love to meet her" she then looked down, a sad look on her face "Look, I'm sorry about what happened today with Maddie, nothing like that usually happens here. It's usually just announcements, roll call, and stuff like that."
"Hey, It's not your fault Mrs. T, She's just misguided is all"
"She says you shouldn't even exist and you just call her misguided?"
"Where do you think she learnt it from, her mother is the ones that the true villain"
"You shouldn't talk about other's family members like that Asriel" Mrs. T says, as she leans towards me. "But, off the record, you're one hundred percent right"
The bell rang and I waved goodbye to Mrs. T as I head towards my next class
The rest of the day luckily went without anything remotely like that, unless you count Frisk and I learning that Undyne was the P.E. teacher, and her last name was a pun. Our bedroom was filled with chuckles as we discussed this newfound knowledge.
"Can you believe it!" Frisk exclaimed to me "Carply! Undyne Carply"
"Next you're going to tell me that Sans' last name is fibula!"
We both laughed at the pun, though mine was interrupted by a yawn, it had been a long day at school, and I knew that I needed that day to end. I got off of my bed
Frisk's POV
Asriel was now asleep in his bed, but I couldn't sleep, not after what happened last night. I may of hidden it from mom and Asriel, but what Asriel dreams about, it scares me. I think something is wrong with him. And I can't do anything about it.
I never told anyone but Asriel about my DETERMINATION, my ability to SAVE and RESET. It's strange how easily he understood it. I would of never gotten it if he was the one that had this power. But, recently, it hasn't been working, I don't know if it's me or someone else has more determination than I do, but whatever it may be, I don't like it, and I think Asriel's dreams have something to do with it.
"Frisk?" I hear Asriel whisper to me
"Yeah, Azzy, what's up?"
"I'm thirsty, I'll be back I just need some water." Asriel rubbed his eyes, trying to see in the darkness. After he left, I got up, turning on the light. There had to be a hint somewhere around here. I didn't know where to look. I tried his closet, dresser, everything, until I found it.
