Tonight on Overtale

Asriel Doesn't Like Buttercups

Asgore Does a Crossword

And Chara is a bad comedian

FRISK'S POV

The Petal

It seemed to mean nothing, why was there a petal in Asriel's bed. It seemed so random, so insignificant. But I knew, I knew it was more than that. Maybe if we went to dad's shop today it would of been different. Yeah, actually, now that I thought about it, it was just from dad's shop.

"Frisk?" Asriel said as he turned off the lights once more, he was back in the room, now with a small plastic cup in his hands. HIs glow in the dark pajamas lightly illuminating his face and his surroundings. "Is something wrong, you should probably be sleeping."

"I'm fine" I lied "Goodnight, my little Goatbro"

"Goodnight Frisk the Human" he gave a light chuckle, realising he sounded like Papyrus,

ASRIEL'S POV

I awoke, lying on the ground, surrounded by darkness extending for what seemed to be endless abyss,

"Where am I" I called out "Hello"

My voice echoed through the void, hurting my sensitive ears,. There was nothing here, just black forever extending from each horizon.

"Asriel" A voice rang out, it sounded similar to mine, but different "Gee Asriel, I never thought I would meet you in one of my resets!"

"Who's there? Who are you?" I called out into the void

"Oh! Your right! I haven't introduced myself" Popping through the nonexistent ground in front of me was a cheery yellow . . flower? "Howdy! I'm Flowey, Flowey the Flower. Your best friend! I just want to tell you how happy I am that I finally found a timeline that has you still alive!"

"Still alive?" I asked confused "Timelines? What are you talking about?

"Well, you see Asriel, I am a creature with lots of DETERMINATION, like your sister for example. But a whole lot more than her. You see, I used to only live in one timeline, and it was boring. Eventually I learned that I gained so much LOVE form uh . . . helping people in my timeline, that I could use my powers to travel to other dimensions. In most dimensions, Asriel, you're dead. Sorry to say. A few bad decisions, or something, or that one world where you died at birth, man I hated that place. Anyways, The point is, I need your help Asriel, you see, I need your SOUL. With a SOUL, I won't be stuck as a flower anymore. It's that simple.

"My SOUL? Isn't that important? I've just met you Flowey"

"Asriel, don't make this hard on yourself, it's not too much. Just a SOUL, I could give you something in return if you want!" The cheerful smile on Flowey's face was beginning to waver, replaced with anger and frustration.

"I think I'll pass on that Flowey, sorry."

"Asriel, don't test my patience. I need it, please. I can't be stuck as a flower anymore"

"I'm sorry Flowey, but not now, probably not ever, someone else might

"Asriel, I don't think you understand. I'm not asking you for it. I need it, otherwise many worlds are in danger" The cheery demeanor of the yellow flower was beginning to fully dissipate. Flowey continued "So if you won't give it to me. Small white pellets surrounded me as Flowey spoke ,"I'll just TAKE it" Flowey began cackling "Don't worry, this will hurt me more than it'll hurt you, at least in a technical roundabout way" He popped back into the ground, though his laughs still echoed throughout the void.

What can I do? I didn't have anywhere to go, and it seemed I couldn't cast any magic to defend myself. I didn't know what I was supposed to do. The area I was safe in was shrinking, and I could barely move around anymore. All of the pellets were about to hit me, and . . .

"Flowey Stop!" I yell, my throat gasping for air from the sea of darkness surrounding me.

"Azzy, you awake or just yelling at your dream" Frisk asked, wondering if I was sleeptalking, or if I had awoken.

"Im awake" I say to her "I just had a really weird nightmare though"

"Tell me, maybe it will hint to something we can do to fix this whole dream problem" Frisk's voice seemed serious, she was worried about my well being, and she wanted to get to the bottom of this dreaming problem

"Well, I woke up in the middle of a void, I was confused and scared, but then there was this flower, he called himself Flowey, and he said he knew me." When I mentioned Flowey, the little I could see of Frisk's face went into a face of shock, like she just realised something "He talked about different timelines, and he said he traveled through different worlds to try to find me! Or, more specifically, a version of me that was still alive. He said he needed my SOUL, and when I said no, because I just met the flower, I wasn't going to just hand him my SOUL, he started surrounding me with magic and tried to steal it from me!"

Frisk was silent for a second, seemingly processing what I had just told her. "It's just a dream, Asriel, I don't think we should look into it" I would have normally believed her, but the way she said it, I don't even think she believed it. But I played along, much too tired to start analyzing what was basically a two minute exchange between me and a plant.

"Alright, goodnight Frisk, hopefully for the last time"

"Goodnight Asriel"

FRISK'S POV

I was awake before Asriel that morning, so I had time to think about what happened last night, it seemed much more than a coincidence that there was a yellow petal in my brother's bed, and then he happens to dream about a magical talking yellow flower, and just when my ability to LOAD and SAVE became unstable too. It was just too many things happening at once that it couldn't not be connected, and I didn't think this Flowey was quite who he said he was either. I knew that if I was going to help Asriel through this problem, so he can finally get sleep every night again, we would need to figure out this problem.

I had not realised just how early I woke up until I came downstairs, my father, Asgore, was sitting at the dining table, with a Newspaper and cup of what seemed to be tea with a splash of milk. Hearing my footsteps, he looked up from his crossword puzzle and greeted me.

"Oh! Frisk, you're up early. How are you today dear?"

"Ok, I just am worried about Asriel again."

"What is it this time Frisk? Is he dreaming about all of the monsters being locked up in Mt. Ebbot again?"

"Nope, now he's scared of an evil buttercup flower with time powers that has no soul and wants his" When I said it aloud, I noticed that it sounded completely ridiculous.

Asgore let out a hearty laugh "You didn't show him some weird movie right Frisk? Now he'll be scared to enter my shop!" He stopped for a moment, looking around the room, until his eyes landed on the clock on the stove. "Speaking of my shop, I have to leave for it now. I'll see you tonight Frisk." with a small kiss on the forehead, he grabbed his coat, and left out the door. The house was silent again. I was never quite the fan of silence, even though I don't really talk much, it gave me too much time to think, and especially right now, I didn't want to think.

Asriel needs my help, but I don't know how to help him.

(Later)

The cafeteria of Ebbot Middle School was bustling with kids, and Asriel, Chara, Kid, and I were all sitting at a table, enjoying the time off from classes. Something seemed off about Asriel though, as he was quiet and keeping to himself, which was not like him. Usually, he was easily excited, and kind of a goofball, but now, he was silently eating a small slice of pie that he had packed for dessert.

Chara was the first one to break the awkward silence "Asriel, what's up with you today?" If there was one person besides me that would get Asriel to open up, it would be Chara, they were basically best friends, much closer than I am to either Chara or MK.

"Nothing" he said, nothing else.

"Asriel, if that's true, then I no longer like chocolate." She looked over to me "Frisk, you want my chocolate bar, I hate those things" Chara said in a joking sarcastic tone. It seemed she was going for cheering Asriel up more then she was going for trying to figure out what was wrong.

"Chara, I'm fine"

"Your ears are droopier than normal, I don't believe you" Chara teased in a sing-songy voice, trying her best to get a chuckle out of the goat child. Instead however, Asriel picks up his stuff, looking down at the ground while walking away from our table.

"Yo! Az, where are you going?" MK asked loudly, getting up and beginning to chase after him

ASRIEL'S POV

I walked away from the table, there was no reason for me to be there. I didn't feel like sitting with anyone today. It's strange, I never remembered dreams, even though, at least according to Frisk, I have very weird and interesting ones. But this one, I just couldn't get out of my mind, over and over, that weed's laugh kept repeating in my head, haunting me throughout my classes and leading up to lunch. I had almost started screaming during one of my classes, that was how far it was going.

What is wrong with me? What am I doing wrong? How do I fi-

"Watch where you're going, Crybaby." I recognised the voice the moment I heard it, and it stopped all the thoughts I had in an instant. The terrible mullet, the snarky look, the torn football jersey, yep, it was definitely him. Mason Leeva, generic school bully extraordinaire.

"Shut up, Mason" I said, staring up at him, pretending not to be intimidated.

"Oh, did Wet Dreemurr grow some balls? Oh wait! Monsters don't have those." Wet Dreemurr. I hated that nickname with a passion, and I was sick of Mason always picking on my friend group.

"You still hanging with that Armless Idiot and the Chocolate Addict?" he asked mockingly.

"Do NOT bring my friends into this."

"Oh, no friends, ok. I heard that your mom gained another half a ton this week. She's making good progress, maybe by next month, she'll only be putting on a couple hundred."

"Leave my mom out of this too, she is adorably chubby, and nothing more!" I said, instantly regretting how I worded the 'comeback'

"Oh, no mother either? Man, your not letting me have any fun, with your real family. Maybe you want me to talk about your pet?"

"I don't have a pet." I say, slightly confused.

"Oh sure you don't, because that girl in the lunchroom is your sister." I was silent, instead scowling. I was burning with rage, more than I had ever been before, maybe I was just sick of his crap. Maybe I was sick of life's crap. I began clenching my fists, and Mason noticed.

"Woah there, it's just some friendly teasing."

Friendly? I thought to myself. I was done with Mason, I was done with everything, I was done with my dreams, I was done with School, I was done with that stupid girl that thought she was better than me just because she was human.

I chuckled to myself. "I'll show you friendly." I say, as magical pellets, surrounded him. "These are just some harmless Friendliness Pellets

Chapter 2 END

AN: Oh my gosh, I finally finished this thing, it took me so long to just get two scenes right and they didn't even end up that good. But whatever. It's time for the plot to continue, yes I know I said this was just Slice of Life fluff, and we will get to that, but I just want to make a plot to make this not be a snoozefest, don't worry though, it won't become some epic adventure and it probably wont end in some insane battle. But what's going on with Flowey and Asriel? Why does Asriel dream about what he does, find out next time on Overtale Z!

Bye! :3
