Chapter 2: I DON'T WANT TO BE DIFFERENT!

Time flew by quickly and now Bella was six and Asriel eight.

"Bella are you ok?" Asriel asked looking to Bella as she just sat on a rock, just staring at nothing.

"Bell?"

...

"Sis...?"

...

"Bella-Anne?!"

...

"BELLA-ANNE DREAMURR!?" Asriel shook her shoulders trying to snap her out of it.

"Huh? huh? What?" Bella looked to her brother confused.

"You've been staring into the distance for the past few minutes and haven't been responding!" Asriel snapped.

Bella recoiled and then looked down at her knees.

"...I just don't want to be different from you and mommy and daddy..." Her voice was low, barely above a whisper.

Now Asriel understood where his sister was coming from.

He didn't answer her for a long time.

And when he did it was not with words but with a tight hug only her big brother could give.

The next day both royal children, were up early.

"You too seem chipper today!" Asgore smiled as they ate eggs, bacon, and waffles.

Bella nodded as she took another bite.

After their parents had gone to work for the day, the two children set out to Make Bella more like the rest of the family.

Asriel led his sister to the large kitchen and then they began their little plan.

Bella had her swimsuit on and shook the excess water from her hair.

"Are you sure this will work, Asi?" She asked.

He nodded as he made sure the flower was the white and not wheat.

Picking up a handful as Bella shut her eyes tight.

"Ready?" He asked getting ready with the sifter.

"READY!" she said giving him a thumbs-up.

With that he took and sifted the flour over her skin.

When Asriel finished, Bella was whiter than white.

She pulled her dress back over her head and they went to their room to finish their task.

After digging around on their dresser with a mirror Asriel triumphantly held up a white head band.

"Azzy I don't like my hair pulled back..." Bella said.

"Relax this is for your ears." Asriel giggled, taking a pair of her long white socks and tying them to the head band.

He then took same paper and made two small cones and glues them to the top.

When the glue finished drying Asriel put it in Bella's hair.

She looked in the mirror with a gasp.

Her already pale skin was no as white as Asriel's, and she had 'ears' and 'horns' like the rest of her family.

"So, do you like it Bella?" Asriel asked with a small grin.

"...no... I don't like it..." She said turning away from the mirror but not facing her brother.

Asriel's mood fell at hearing this. Bella could be stubborn sometimes and this seemed to be one of those times.

"I LOVE IT! OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" Bella squealed tackling her brother in a tight hug.

Asriel did not know what to do other than hug back.

Later that evening.

Asgore called the children to the table for dinner, and Asriel went to wash his paws and Bella hers.

Toriel had the food set on the table and her and Asgore were seated by the time the two children sat down.

Both parents gasped, Asgore's fork hit the table and Toriel dropped the tray of dinner rolls onto the table.

Neither could form words for a long time but when Toriel did it was the first time either child had heard her raise her voice at them.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU TWO THINKING?!"

Labored silence filled the room after the goat mother's outburst. The crackling fire even seemed to become silenced.

Her next words were much quieter, but her anger was still rather evident.

"Asriel, please have your father re-heat your dinner and then finish it please. Bella-Anne, come with me."

The children exchanged looks having never really had their full names used.

Bella followed her mother to the bathroom where Toriel had drawn a bath for her.

She began scrubbing away at the caked-on flour, but after an hour most of the white baking dust was still stuck to Bella's skin if not more so now.

It took a week of one-hour bathes to get all the flour off Bella.

But today was not going to be spent taking lessons or spending time around the underground, no Today Asriel would sit in on his first royal meeting.

Bella was coming because Toriel had errands to run and could not take the young human.

But earlier that morning she did Bella up like how she wanted, but without the sock head band and flour mask.

No Toriel did her lengthening Auburn hair in Pigtails, with two white bows, and now she did have 'ears' and 'horns' in a sense.

Bella-Anne sat under the conference table and played with the doll she had brought, but when your six you NEVER wanna stay still for long.

Nope soon enough she had crawled around under the table until she found a certain pair of shoes.

These shoes belonged to the Lieutenant.

She gently shook one of their legs and try as they might to ignore it the could not.

"KNOCK IT OFF KID!" Undyne's head shot under the table to scold the child.

Asgore looked under the table and gave his daughter a displeased look.

But after another hour, and another, and another, Bella was getting tired, and bored.

So, she climbed into her father's lap and snuggled against his chest, pulling his cloak around her like a blanket.

Yet another hour later when the meeting came to an end, almost past the children's bed time.

Asgore stood with Bella-Anne held in his one arm as he gently shook his goat boy awake.

Groggily, Asriel followed his father back to their home where he went right to bed.

Asgore undid his cape and placed Bella gently in her bed and tucked her fully in.

Asriel and Bella giggled as they played in the heat of hotland, running around like well children.

Asriel and Bella went into MTT resort and took a seat at the counter.

"Two starfaits please!" Asriel said.

The young cat man on the other side of the counter gave a VERY forced smile and began to work on their snack.

Then a Singy-song voice called out, almost too sweetly:

"OH~ BURGURPANTS~"

The cat man paled as he served the two children.

"Y-yes boss...?" He began sweating.

"I do hope your treating to of my favorite patrons well."

Bella stopped mid bite and her head flicked around.

"TON-TON!" She beamed, leaping up from her chair she hugged the leg of the superstar.

"Why hello there, princess, and how might you be fairing this fine day?" Mettaton asked, squatting down to the little girl's height.

"Good! Azzy and I are playing!" Bella's smile grew.

"Is that so? I do hope your having fun." Mettaton hugged the young human and stood.

"I hope to see you soon darlings~!" The pink robot waved walking off.

Asriel and Bella finished their starfaits and left back for new home.

Bella pushed the button in the elevator that was second to last before they were at their home.

The box hummed and began its climb.

Bella hummed while Asriel held onto the side railing.

They were a floor Below new home. But that is when the box went dark.

Bella let out a scream and grabbed onto her big brother.

But soon they were floating in the box if only for a few seconds, before hitting hot land level roughly.

They hit so hard they were knocked out.

When they came around they could hear voices outside.

Two voices were the most reassuring.

"HOW LONG HAVE MY BABIES BEEN TRAPPED IN THERE?!"

"How soon can you get it open?"

Toriel and Asgore were there!

They could hear the doors moving but they only opened enough to let in a bit of light.

"MOMMY! DADDY!" Bella cried lightly and saw her mother come into view.

"My child, are you all right?!" Toriel's voice was laced with worry.

"Yeah!" She said and Asriel said something along the same lines.

An hour and a half had been spent trying to get the children out, but each plan failed more than the last.

"I'm tired of waiting!" Toriel said pulling up her sleeves as she stormed over to the elevator.

"Children, please move to the back corner of the elevator, ok?" Toriel asked, the two royals moved back and huddled close.

What was Toriel going to do? She was going to pry it open with brute force.

And so, she began pulling at the doors.

It failed but she did not give up.

Two glowing figures each formed in the elevator, it looked like they cast the children tender looks. The more feminine figure grabbed the right door while her male counterpart grabbed the left.

With their force and Toriel's the doors began to creek open.

When they were open part way the two figures stopped and looked to the children.

"Keep her safe young one." The male said bending down to Asriel's level. Not knowing what to do the little prince nodded.

The female smiled kindly at the pair and disappeared in a bright flash. The male worked on the doors a bit more and then said. "It's ok now, go ahead out to your mother."

The children rushed out into Toriel who picked up them both in her arms.

"Oh, my sweet, sweet, children! Are you all right? Are you hurt? Here let me heal you." Toriel was flooded with emotions.

All the children did was hug their mother back tightly.

Bella however could not help but feel as if she knew those glowy figures from somewhere but could not place it.

Ok, so who are these figure's? and it took me so long to post this because I have had homework (don't we all) and have had to rewrite this chapter till I got what I wanted. And celebration!
