Chapter 3: Other Realities (Part 1/2)

AlbinoAsriel (The Author!): Howdy! It's time for some more Overtale, this time with a larger chapter with a bit of plot in the beginning, and a new fold in this whole dreaming situation. But after this two parter, the Dreemurr are going to have fun, love, and cuddles. I'm sure it will be adorab-

(Asriel Pops into existence in front of the author. He looks around for a second, before noticing him.)

Asriel: Hey! You! Why did you steal my name?

AlbinoAsriel: Wait? Oh crap! Asriel, what are you doing here? These are the Author's Notes.

Asriel: The Author's Notes? I just fell asleep again and woke up here.

AlbinoAsriel: Great, now the Author's Notes can't escape the Goat God of Hyperfluff

Asriel: Wait! That's My OC, you can't steal it!

AlbinoAsriel:I didn't! I'm talking about you! (Clears Throat) Anyway reader, enjoy the chapter! (How does he even know I'm using his name?)

Warning: This Chapter Contains way too many Video Game Parodies. If you don't like that, in the words of Reggie Fils Aime "Whats wrong with you?" Also Undertale had tons of those so you must be on the wrong part of this website

ASRIEL'S POV

I was standing in front of Mason, my own personal devil, small pellets, my pellets, were surrounding him.

"Just some harmless Friendliness Pellets" I repeated, the ring of small white bullets surrounding Mason began moving "Here, let me give you a hug." The bullets continued closing in on Mason, while I felt a sense of cruel joy. The thought of his SOUL shattering made me smirk a confident smirk as I watched him panic.

"ASRIEL!" Chara's voice rang throughout the hallway, which was luckily empty since it was still lunch time. "What are you doing? Why are you doing this? You can't kill Mason, even if I want you to!"

"What the heck, Chara!" Mason exclaimed, it was a not very well kept secret that Mason was scared of my rosy cheeked friend, but he would always talk about her when she wasn't around.

"Shut up. Mason, no one likes you besides the other kids on your idiotic football team." She rebutted, not that I was paying much attention. I thought about what Chara had said a couple seconds earlier. What are you doing? Why are you doing this? What was I doing? I looked down at my paws, as magic still channeled through them. I had never made that type of magic before, usually I made my family's fire attacks or my own 'lightning' (It's really just static but don't worry about it). Whatever I made was new to me, but it wasn't new. I knew exactly what it was from. Flowey, what did you do to me? I thought to myself. The pellets dissipated as I desummoned them, and I silently walked away from the scene.

"Asriel, Wait up!" Chara called out to me and began following me. "Do you need to talk" she asked me.

"Chara, what's wrong with me?" I asked her, tears swelling in my eyes, I didn't ask for this, I didn't want to be evil. "What do I do? I'm suddenly attacking people, and teasing them with their deaths!"

Chara sighed and sat next to me, leaning her back against a locker. "Asriel, let me tell you a secret." She looked down, the kind smile on her face disappearing as she took a deep breath, getting ready to say something to me. "Before my foster Dad adopted me, I was like you are right now, angry, I was ready to attack anyone at a moment's notice, knives were my only friends. I used to dream about killing the orphanage owner, and running from the place. But then, good people came into my life, people like you, and Frisk, and MK."She sighed as I let a soft smile appear on my muzzle " My point is that if you helped me with that, I can help you with whatever is going, no matter how big or small. You're my friend Asriel, and I care about how you feel"

I smiled, tears swelled once again as I began to respond "Chara, I don't even think you would believe me"

"I will, I promise"

I sighed, and began explaining "I had a dream, but it wasn't like a normal one, I can never remember dreams, no matter what they're about. But last night I had a dream that I can't get out of my head, and I've been acting different, you saw, I attacked Mason, and I liked it. I was smiling while he was about to die."

"What was the dream about?" Chara asked, she seemed skeptical, but she wanted to be a good friend and keep her word, so she stayed quiet.

"It was so strange, I woke up in the void, and a flower appeared in front of me and asked for my SOUL. He said he was looking for a version of me from all the multiverse that was still alive, whatever that meant. After I said that I was pretty sure I needed my SOUL, he started attacking me, with the exact same type of magic I just used, why do I suddenly have his magic? This is scary Chara!"

"And all of this because of some dream?" Chara asked

"That's the problem, it didn't feel like a dream, like I said, I never remember dreams, and now my magic is completely different, it has to be more than just a dream."

"This is insane Asriel." I frowned, and she paused for a second before sighing "But, I did say I would believe you, and the way your acting doesn't seem like you're making it up or anything like that. But I don't know what I could do to help."

I nodded, understanding her concern, it really was a strange idea, but it had to of happened. "How do I stop acting like him, I'm being a heartless jerk to Mason, even if he's rude to me as well. I even was rude to MK and Frisk, I feel so bad about it"

"Honestly Asriel, the best idea is just to not worry about for now, see what happens tonight, if it comes back, we can worry about it. Just relax tonight, Aren't Tuesdays Dreemurr family game night anyways?" I nodded "Alright, fun tonight, and if it's still a problem flower tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok" I said

"I think it's time for your next class anyways, I gotta go to English. See you in music!"

Thankfully, the rest of the day went without a hitch. And now it was time to go home.

Frisk's POV

I arrived in my bedroom after school with a sigh, backpack flung lazily on to the floor, I quickly changed into a casual t shirt that was way too large for me, and a pair of sweatpants. I flopped down onto my bed, my hair covering my eyes. I was tired, and I was determined to take a nap.

"Frisk, are you already in here" my brother called to me, peeking his head into the room.

"Yeah" I said, face still in my bed, my speech muffled by the blankets.

"You gonna take a nap?"

"I hate school." I groaned, while putting the covers on me

"That didn't answer my question Frisk."

"Yes. I'm taking a nap, now wake me up when it's dinner or if we're starting game night early." I grumbled, already half asleep, comfy under the soft blankets.

"Alrighty" Asriel said as he left.

I sighed, and began to try to fall asleep, before I realized something.

"Shoot, I forgot to SAVE!" I said, quickly getting up, luckily, there was always a SAVE point right by my door. While I usually tried my best not to LOAD, especially now that Azzy can remember them, I always felt safer after I SAVED. There had been a few times where I did have to LOAD though, like one time, when Asgore forgot to bring his suitcase to the State Senate, and then because of that he couldn't do anything that day which made some problems.

Asgore was always a bit of a goofball, even if he could be eerily serious if he had to. He was a government official, sure. But I had never met a government official that spends his time when he's not delegating working in a dainty flower shop in a cozy town.

Continuing the train of thought I had, I thought about the only time I ever had to LOAD because of myself was because of a time where I broke my leg, and me and Azzy agreed that LOADing was worth it so it wouldn't happen. It was summer vacation after all, and not being able to play outside in summer is a fate worse than death.

I realised that I let my mind wander, and I looked back to the SAVE point, it's faint yellow glow illuminating the room just for me. I reached out, but it flickered out. Huh, that's never happened before- in a sudden flash of light, the star reappeared, now a bright white, the light surrounded me, engulfed by the it, I was blinded, there was nothing but light in the room, followed by complete and utter darkness.

I laid in a pile of flowers, golden specks of pollen floated around as I slowly let my eyes open, I still felt tired, but that could wait, I didn't know where I was. I began wandering, first heading down a hallway, which lead into a small patch of grass, where a hole in the ceiling of wherever I was opened to skylight, I continued on my journey, now in a purple room with a cracked staircase and fountain in front of me, as well as a familiar feminine figure. I recognised the robes she was wearing as one of our family's old crest, all the way back during the war, the Dreemurr's used the Delta Rune as a symbol of our nobility, but why was my mother wearing them?

Before I could speak, she had already begun "Child! Have you fallen down?" She asked as she approached me.

"Fallen down? Fallen down what?"

"You do not know where you are?"

"Mom, I don't know where the heck either of us are, or where Dad or Asriel is or-"

Toriel face quickly shifted from its soft motherly tone, to a face full of shock and a small hint of pain. She took a step back from me, though I could also see a small amount of happiness in her face. All of this just made me more confused.

"C-Chara? Is that you? How are you here, why do you look different, I didn't prepare for this, what am I going to do? Oh no! Where have you been, you look younger, how is that even poss-"

This time, I was the one to interrupt my mother. "Mom? Chara's my best friend, I'm your daughter, remember, Frisk? Maybe you were the one that fell, you sure you didn't hit your head, Dad said once that whenever he tripped and hit one of his horns, he would always have some memory problems. Remember? He called Azzy Astell and thought her was a girl at dinner once, he's always been a bit of a ditz though"

While Toriel did seem confused, she looked like she agreed with me on the last part about Asgore being a ditz. "Child, I think there may be something strange going on, I've never seen you, though you do look like my daughter I once had"

"You Don't remember me Mom?" Seeing her nod made me sick to my stomach. If it wasn't for Toriel, I would be cold on the streets, or in some terrible situation with foster parents. Toriel had been so nice to me, and without her, I didn't know what I was going to do. I didn't know why everything was so different, there had to be something that could explain this. Maybe the SAVE point had something to do with it. It was supposedly a tear through time and space. They scattered all throughout the . . .multiverse! My mind started to think about the different worlds that Asriel had mentioned in his dream, and it all clicked. It wasn't too surprising honestly, I mean, I could control time and space, and my brothers being tormented by a demonic dandelion or something, basically anything can happen.

"Oh, my child, I'm sorry to disappoint, but I've never met anyone named Frisk before." her comment drew me from my own deep thinking, and I decided to bring up this possibility to her.

"Its okay mo- I mean Ms. Toriel" I caught myself again. And while it felt weird calling someone that looked just like my mother by her name, I felt it would help ease the tension that was now in the room. "I think I know what it is. I found a rift to another dimension."

"Oh, well that does make" She paused for a moment, before fully realising what I had just said, eyes wide and pupils shrunk she spoke quietly "D-did you just say, another dimension?"

I nodded "You see, I found a rip in reality in my bedroom, and then boom, all of a sudden I was here, lying in a bed of flowers."

She seemed to understand, but she was still staring at me like I was crazy. "Are you sure you didn't hit your head child? These are some outlandish things."

"I promise they're the truth!"

Toriel sighed, "Let's head to my house, and we could continue our conversation there, Im sure you are likely hungry"

I had to admit, I was pretty hungry. So I agreed, and began to follow her farther into the place I was in

Asriel's POV:

After Frisk went to sleep, I came downstairs with nothing to do. There had to be something for me to do to get my mind off of Flowey. I looked around the house before my eyes landed on the small dock for a tablet near the TV. I could play Super Smashing Fighters!

Uncle Sans got the Notnendo Swap for us last Christmas, though he disguised it as being from "Sansta". While Toriel at first was a bit upset that he got it for us without asking her, after playing a couple games of MaryKart she could see that it was all good fun. I disconnected the two small JoyMotes, and booted up the system.

The recognisable music began to play, and I booted up the online mode. I quickly started up a voice chat on my tablet, and he picked up

"Yo! Azzy! Are you feeling better?" He asked

"Yeah, a bit. Do you want to play Smash?" I asked him, though him bringing up earlier temporarily put me on edge.

"Sure!"

"Alright I'm playing Yisho!"

FRISK'S POV

I began to approach TwoToriel's house, TwoToriel was the name I decided to use for her, because while I call her mom, it's still weird to just use Toriel to me. A cozy little thing in the middle of the place she called the Ruins. I looked up to her, and noticed that once again, she had her calm smile, seemingly over, or at least currently not worrying about this whole ordeal. I'd noticed a few SAVE points on the way to her house, and of course, it seemed that, while I could still SAVE, none of them would return me home.

The interior of the house was about what I expected, cozy and small, made for one or maybe two people. Toriel led me to a room with a fireplace and a table and chairs, as well as a chair made for a larger monster.

"Bring a seat over here please, Frisk." she said, motioning to the table's chairs that looked a lot more reasonably sized for me, while she herself sat in the recliner.

'Ok"

"Now, tell me what exactly your dimension is like?"

"Well, the biggest thing I've noticed for us is that you've never met this world's version of me. I live with you, Asgore, and Asriel, you adopted me when I was like 2, and we're all family!"

Toriel smiled "That does sound like a nice dimension, no wonder you were so confused. I'm sorry to say that it's nothing like that here. I'm afraid I haven't met you, and Asgore and I split apart for . . . unsavory reasons. Asriel, well, Asriel is no longer with us here. He was killed by humans. But, it is the world I live in. So I live in it as best I can."

"Why would humans attack Azzy?" I asked.

"I don't know how it works in your dimension, but ever since we lost the war, any monster seen on the surface was killed on sight.

"Monsters lost the war!" This world was getting stranger and sadder by the second.

"Did they win in yours?"

"Nobody won or lost, we divided the land, except for one nation where the humans and monsters that got along live together, though there are some bumps in the road every once in a while"

"Well, sadly in this place, us monsters were locked in an underground prison. I'm beginning to envy your world Frisk, your world sounds much nicer than my own." Toriel sighed "Until you will be able to return home, there is a room down the hall, if you would like I could make you a pie."

I nodded and smiled "I guess even through dimensions some things never change."

Toriel giggled "Does your mother also make Butterscotch Pies?"

"Yeah, it's both mine and Azzy's favorite, it's always what she bakes us on special occasions. Birthdays, Christmas, all come with a pie." Toriel was beginning to get up and walk into the kitchen, but was still talking to me through the small archway.

"And this other version of me, what does she do?" Toriel asked

"Well, she teaches humans and monsters at an elementary school, and she is also a large part of all the things they do at the school. Fundraising, the PTO, all of those."

Toriel once again giggled "What a coincidence, I also wanted to teach. This whole alternate dimensions thing is so confusing, I may need two Toriels!" she cracked herself up as I also let out a few giggles. Calming down, I brought up something a bit more serious.

"Hey Toriel?"

"Yes my child?"

"Do you know if I'll be able to get home?"

She sighed, seemingly knowing that question was coming "I don't know"

Asriel's POV

"Haha! Let's go! Three stocked you again!"

"Whatever! Yisho is a hard counter to Hamondorf. Of course you're gonna win"

"Yeah right, you and that pig king has got nothing on my egg skills!"

"Fine, let's see if you can handle my Jester gameplay."

"No! Jester is broken and you know it, his nuetrel special is an actual gun!"

"So what, Yisho is toxic!"

It had been like this for at least two hours, me and MK had been at it for a couple hours, and while he had won a couple, I had won the majority. To be fair, I was the one with actual hands, but then again, most companies have made like seventeen different types of controllers for various monsters, so he couldn't be that far behind due to his disability

I hear the front door open, and look behind me to see Mom coming through the doorway. "Frisk, Asriel, Im home" I put down my controller and mute my mic, before I run up to her and give her a hug. She embraces me back and I smile up towards her.

"Hey Mom!"

"How are you Asriel, you did not seem too well this morning."

"I feel better mom, don't worry"

"Alright my child, I was just worried. I am going to check on Frisk, okay? And Im thinking we order pizza tonight."

"Pizza, sounds awesome!" I said

"Okay, now don't leave MK waiting, I'm sure you two were having your usual arguments, and I'm sure they are very important" my mother joked, as she climbed the stairs to my bedroom.

"Yeah right Mom!" I retorted back, as I picked up my controller again and unmuted my mic. "Im Back MK, so what are we going to do now?"

Before MK could reply Toriel instead yelled down the staircase "Hey Asriel, where's Frisk?"

Authors Note: Wow! And I said this would be Slice of Life, honestly I took this in the opposite direction then I expected, but I like this better than just some Sitcom style stuff, though that will still happen, probably after this arc, we'll have a bit of a break with that Dreemurr Family Game Night, but until then. Please give me feedback, it matters a lot more to me to get it than a favorite or follow, even though they are both also apprciated! Hope you come back next chapter to see what happens to Frisk and what seems to be UT Toriel, let's find out next time in Overtale!

Asriel: I'm Still here how do I get out!

AlbinoAsriel: I'm gonna go help him out
