Chapter 3
As Spirit approached Chara and Asriel, she realized this approach was a bad idea. I mean. I don't want to come off as weird, but then again, I need to know what's going on here. she thought. Despite all her common sense telling her not to, she tapped Chara on the shoulder and said, "H.. hi. You're Chara amd Asriel... right..?" Asriel and Chara exchanged glances before Chara said, "Um yes? How do you know us though..? We've never seen you before." "Ok.. I just wanted to make sure it was really you two. And who doesn't know Asriel? He's Asgore's son! And you were famously adopted by the Dreemurrs, Chara. Well I gotta go. Bye!" Spirit said as she ran back across the street to Frisk. Oh my god. That was SO awkward. Never again, she thought. The school was in sight. They arrived and the first thing Spirit noticed was Asgore in the courtyard tending to the flowers. I'm not even surprised. He always loved flowers, Spirit thought, Although if I want to ask about sparring, I better do it now. Oh my god! I'm so excited! I've always wanted to practice with Asgore! She looked over at the flowers. She wasn't paying attention to their color at first, but upon looking at them, she realized they were golden flowers. A memory suddenly came back to her.
Spirit was in the castle, back in the Underground. She stood watching as Asriel cried out, "No Chara! You'll make it! You have to..." Chara looked up at him. "No, Asriel... We both know I'm dying... so please... do this for me... when I die... use my soul to cross the barrier... and take me back to my village... to the golden flower bed..." Asgore looked at Chara with pain in his eyes. "You cannot give up just yet. Chara! Stay determined..." Spirit faintly recognized those words... as if she heard them a million times before. The vision faded away, and she was back in reality.
I don't remember visiting the castle... Well I don't really remember anything past Chara and Asriel's deaths. And the "determination" thing, she thought, I wonder what my life was like before... She quickly remembered that she had to go inside, after all, she was already pretty late already. She took a deep breath, and took a few nervous steps toward the door.
She was surprised at the sheer size of the entrance hall. It was empty. Everyone else must be in class. Ugh... this might be even more awkward than the Chara and Asriel street encounter, she thought. "Hey... Spirit, was it? I can get you a class schedule, if you need it." Spirit turned to see Frisk standing nearby. "Yes. Please." she said. "Ok.. I'll be back in a minute... or this could take a while," Frisk said.
Spirit has been standing around for about 30 or so minutes. What the heck is he doing??? I knew it would take a while, but 30 minutes seems a bit excessive, she thought. With her patience run out, she began to explore the halls.
She eventually came to a classroom. The sign outside it read "Class 3a". For absolutly no reason whatsoever, she stood on her hind legs and peeked inside through the little window on the door. She was there for barely a few seconds when a student noticed her and pointed at her. The other kids looked over and saw her too. A lot of them started waving at her. Spirit smiled and waved back. She noticed two kids who were either ignoring her or didn't see her. Those two kids were Chara and Asriel. A little idea popped into her head. The lecture that teacher seems to be boring these kids to death. Why else would they be so excited to simply see somebody at the door? I still have my violin and sheet music on me... so maybe... she thought with a grin on her face. She sat down and was hidden from view in the classroom as she got out her violin and the sheet music for Megalovania. She checked to see if the door was unlocked. To her surprise, it was. She opened it just a little. "... and that is why Camelot is one of the greatest literature pieces in history..." Spirit tuned out the rest of the lecture. Oh wow. No wonder these kids look bored. At least the teacher hasn't noticed the open door yet. I just got here and I'm already sick of this lecture, she thought. Staying out of view, she began to play Megalovania, and loudly too. The kids giggled and peeking through the crack, she saw some kids up and dancing. "Where is that coming from! Whoever is doing that, stop immediatly!" She looked in again and saw Chara looking right at her. Chara gave her a smile befoe dragging Asriel out of his chair to dance. The teacher must have seen Chara looking at the door, because he stormed toward it. Spirit stopped playing and hastily tried to pack it back up. The teacher opened the door and looked down at Spirit. "You. Principal's office. NOW!" Spirit could tell by how red he was he was VERY angry. She reached for her sheet music, but he put his foot on it. "Oh, and I'll be confiscating these." He grabbed her violin case and sheet music and tossed them to the side in the classroom. "If you break my violin or damage it and my music in ANY way, then I swear on my dead body I will make you regret it." Spirit said, anger flashing in her eyes. She noticed Chara looking at her amused, with a hint of pride. The teacher escorted her to the principal's office. Well... today's been full of sunshine and rainbows... hasn't it? she thought. Chara screamed "Somebody's being very pissy today!" The teacher stormed back to the classroom. He shooed Chara out and brought her to Spirit's side. Little did he know, Chara had managed to get Spirit's violin and music. Chara grinned as they were both escorted to the principal's office.
They sat in chairs outside the door. "That was pretty cool what you did. I've never seen anyone backtalk Mr Johnson like that EVER. What I did was the first time and probably the only time I've done that. I just realized Mom's gonna kill me for this when I get home." Chara said "I might get away with it... I live with Sans after all. I think we both know he's a prankster." Spirit said. The principal came out. "You two. Inside. NOW!" Chara and Spirit exchanged glances as they walked inside, accepting their fate.
