"Yakko! Wakko! Dot! This is all just a bad dream…! Please, wake up…!"
Yakko's eyes slowly blinked open at the sound of Toriel's voice. He sat up, stretched his arms out, and released a big yawn. He found himself in the middle of the room before the barrier, surrounded by his friends. Wakko and Dot, lying next to him, started to wake up as well.
"Oh!" Toriel gasped. "You are awake! Thank goodness!"
"W-we were so worried…!" said Alphys. "It felt like you were out forever!"
"Yeah!" said Undyne. "Any longer and I would have freaked out! Tell us next time you decide to take a nap, okay!?"
"Oh boy...how long was I asleep?"
"I-it's already tomorrow," said Alphys.
"you made papyrus cry like a baby," said Sans.
Papyrus was embarrassed by Sans' comment.
"WHAT! I DIDN'T CRY! I JUST...CAUGHT SOMETHING IN MY EYE."
"what did you catch?"
"TEARS!"
"Awwww," said Dot, "how sweet!"
She hugged him tight. Papyrus hugged back, shedding a few more tears.
"It's okay, Papy. We're all good."
Asgore intervened.
"Now, now. The important part is that the Warners are all right. Here, children. Why not drink some tea? It'll make you feel better."
"Errr…" Toriel started. "How about we give them space, first? They must be very exhausted."
"Actually," said Wakko, "I feel fine. That was a good nap."
"I suppose. Though I am not certain what made you so exhausted to begin with."
The Warners shot her a confused look.
"Children...We do not remember exactly what happened. There was a flower...And then, everything went white. But now the barrier is gone."
"Yeah," said Yakko, "we broke it! We fought off Flowey, saved your butts, then smashed that thing open with all ya guys!"
Yakko felt it was best that they didn't mention Asriel. For his sake and theirs.
"REALLY?" said Papyrus. "WOWIE! TOO BAD I CAN'T REMEMBER IT!"
"I h-have no idea how you knew it'd work," said Alphys, "but I'm proud of you three."
"Thanks Alphys!" said Wakko.
"When you are all ready," said Toriel, "we will all return to the surface. It seems the door to the east will lead us there now."
"Before we go," said Wakko, "we're gonna let everybody know the barrier's down. I got this one!"
He headed to the door to take a picture of the smashed barrier. Meanwhile, Yakko and Dot conversed with the others.
"Oh!" said Toriel. "Yakko, you'll be happy to know Alphys upgraded my phone."
"Cool! Now ya got all those fancy messaging apps, right?"
"Yes. I am having a lot of fun with the 'texting' feature. Sans, 'check out' this one."
"oh man, tori...that's brutal."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THE QUEEN HAS RETURNED...AND ALSO THAT SHE'S A HUGE DORK!"
"Finally figured that one out, huh?" said Dot.
"IT MADE MORE SENSE THAN ASGORE CLONING HIMSELF."
He looked back at Sans and Toriel.
"YOU TWO ARE TWO FEET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER! WHY ARE YOU TEXTING!"
"Worry not, Papyrus. We are texting for a good reason."
"WHY IS THAT."
"well. cause we're huge dorks."
"Since when were you huge?" said Yakko. "You're only big-boned!"
Sans chuckled.
"Sans, Yakko, please do not say those things. You are not a dork, Sans. You are more of a bonehead!"
"HAHAHA, WOW! THOSE PUNS ARE EVEN LESS FUNNY COMING FROM HER!"
"then why are you smiling?"
"IT'S A PITY SMILE!"
"But he's got a point," said Dot, "they work better coming from Sans."
"So, Alphys…" said Undyne. "What do you want to do now that we're all free? We have the whole world to explore now."
"W-well, of course I'm going to go out and...Um...No, I should be honest! I'm gonna stay inside and watch anime like a total loser!"
"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!" said Papyrus. "EVERYONE! A CELEBRATION! TO BEING LOSERS!"
"Cheers to that," said Yakko, "we're not popular anymore, so we're losers too."
"Heh," said Undyne. "Papyrus has the right idea. Losing to the Warners is the best thing to ever happened to me. So, I'm glad that we…"
Asgore tapped her shoulder as Wakko came back.
"What took ya so long?" said Dot.
"Our notifications are blowing up! Look!"
Wakko pulled up the post he made on the Undernet about breaking the barrier, already having reached 100 comments.
"Holy moly," said Yakko, "that's a lotta comments!"
Alphys leaned in, interrupting their conversation.
"Guys, please. Help me explain what anime is to Asgore."
"Be lucky he knows what a cartoon is," said Yakko. "Poor Toriel had no idea before we came along!"
He looked at Asgore.
"They're cartoons from Japan on a lower budget. They got these huge sparkling eyes-"
"And giant swords!" Wakko interrupted.
"And magical princesses!" Dot chimed in.
"And slow moving mouths too," Yakko finished.
"So Anime is a Japanese cartoon...but with sparkling eyes, swords, magical princesses, and slow mouths?"
They nodded.
"Golly! That sounds neato! Where is this? Where can I see the Anime."
"H-hold on," said Alphys, "uh...I think I have some on my phone."
"I got some back home," said Yakko. "I'll get ya started with 'Attack on Titan'; I think you'd like that one."
"Thank you, Yakko."
Meanwhile, Alphys pulled up an anime on her phone.
"Oh, wait...that's the wrong-"
"Golly! Were those two robots…"
"...kissing?" Undyne finished, smiling.
"Boy!" said Asgore. "Technology sure is something, isn't it?"
"Ehehe…" Alphys chuckled. "Yeah! It sure is!"
"Oh!" Asgore exclaimed. "Children?"
"Yeah, Goat Dad?" said Yakko.
"Sorry about almost trying to take your souls. I feel very bad about it."
"It's fine," said Dot, "it's not the first time a king tried to kill us."
"I think everybody's tried to kill them at least once," said Undyne.
"Oh...I see! In that case, I'm not sorry."
"ASGORE! That's not what I meant!"
The kids laughed.
"Well," said Yakko, "come on. It's surface time."
"We will be right behind you," said Toriel.
The Warners walked into the east room, finding a door-shaped hole reminiscent of when they first entered the Ruins. Their journey was truly over.
"This is it," said Dot, "the moment we've all been waiting for."
"The past twelve days have been preparing us for this," said Wakko.
They toons held each others' hands, took a deep breath, and walked through the exit. On the other side of the mountain, they were greeted by the start of a sunrise.
"Whoa…" they gasped.
They sat on the warm ground, embracing the fresh air and staring in awe.
"I don't think I've seen a sunrise this beautiful before," said Yakko.
Asgore nodded.
"Well said, Yakko."
"Oh my…" said Toriel.
"Wow…" said Alphys. "It's e-even better than on TV. WAY better! Better than I ever imagined!"
"Warners," said Undyne, "you LIVE with this!?"
"You betcha!" said Wakko.
"The sunlight is so nice...and the air is so fresh! I really feel alive!"
"HEY SANS...WHAT'S THAT GIANT BALL?"
"we call that 'the sun,' my friend."
"THAT'S THE SUN!? WOWIE! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY MEETING THE SUN!"
"I could stand here and watch this for hours…" said Asgore.
"Yes," said Toriel, "it is beautiful, is it not? But we should really think about what comes next."
"That's easy," said Yakko. "Ladies and gentlemen, the future's looking bright! It's a great big universe out there and now it's ours for the taking."
"He is right," said Asgore. "This is the beginning of a bright new future. An era of peace between humans, monsters, and humanfolk."
"It's a big change," Yakko continued, "but don't let it scare ya. We'll be right there with ya every step of the way."
"Does this mean you will act as our ambassadors to the humans?"
"Absolutely!" said Yakko.
"YEAH! THE WARNERS WILL BE THE BEST AMBASSADORS! AND I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS...WILL BE THE BEST MASCOT!"
"Welcome to the team!" said Dot, staring at him lovingly as hearts appeared around her head.
"I'LL GO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION!"
He suddenly ran off to the right.
"Wait Papyrus come back-"
Dot was too late to stop him.
"welp, someone's gotta keep him from getting into trouble. see you guys."
Sans walked the other way. The Warners laughed, being the only ones who knew about his shortcuts.
"Classic comic Sans," said Wakko.
"Man," said Undyne, "do I have to do EVERYTHING? Papyrus, wait!"
She took off after him, with Alphys following right behind her.
"Hey, Undyne! Wait up!"
"Whoops," said Asgore.
"Yeah," said Yakko, "now we have to round 'em all back up."
"Uh," said Asgore, "should I do something?"
Toriel looked away, not happy. Yakko answered for him.
"Knock yourself out, Goat Dad!"
"Right. Well, gotta go!"
He scurried away, leaving only Toriel and the Warners left.
"It seems that everyone is quite eager to set off," she observed. "Children...you came from this world. So you must have a place to return to, do you not? What will you do now?"
"Well…" said Yakko. "Sibs, huddle up!"
They huddled up, having a mini discussion. Toriel could only hear incomprehensible murmuring from the kids. After a few seconds, they nodded and turned to face Toriel.
"We're not done with ya yet!" said Yakko. "Wakko, Dot, get the others back to the tower."
"Right!"
Wakko handed Yakko and Dot plot holes, which magically reappeared in his Gag Bag, then ran off to take Sans's shortcut.
"I gotcha, Papyrus!" Dot shouted as she jumped through her plot hole.
Yakko kissed his plot hole, then threw it on the ground.
"Good to see ya again, old friend."
Then he looked at Toriel and extended his arm out.
"You're comin' with me, Tori."
She took his hand, and they jumped into the plot hole together, whooping as they fell through.
Wakko and Dot managed to catch up with the others; by the time they did, Undyne was able to stop Papyrus from mingling with the humans prematurely while Alphys and Asgore tried to calm them down. Sans merely watched them, then sensed Wakko appearing behind him.
"hey kid, about time you showed up."
He playfully snatched Wakko's hat and rubbed his head, making him laugh.
"Sans!"
Dot, on the other hand, jumped through the space between Papyrus and Undyne. She grabbed their arms as she fell back into her plot hole.
"You're comin' with us!"
"Gah!" Alphys shouted, clinging to Undyne's leg and falling through with them.
"Come on!" said Wakko, pulling Sans and Asgore into the hole with them.
Within a flash, everyone made it to the top of the water tower. Yakko then opened the large WB logo to reveal a large, cozy living room.
"Okay everybody," said Yakko, "listen up! You're stayin' with us now. Any questions?"
"i'm cool with it," Sans shrugged.
"That's fine with me I guess," said Alphys.
"I mean," said Undyne, "I have nowhere else to go, so…"
"WOWIE!" Papyrus beamed. "WE GET TO LIVE ON THE SURFACE NOW!"
"Oh my," said Toriel, "you have a lovely home."
The monsters stepped in.
"We got a few hours left before everybody else out there wakes up," said Yakko, "so get comfy, make yourselves at home, yadda yadda yadda. Sibs, ya know what to do."
Wakko and Dot ran off to get their friends' rooms ready while Yakko prepared a crash course to inform them on everything they missed in surface history.
So this is the true ending to their incredible story. From that day onward, everything seemed right with the world. The monsters were freed, and the Warners adopted six people into their big happy family.
As for myself? Well, let's just say I spend all my days talking to a certain flower Underground. I believe it's safe to say his life became a little happier, or at least the closest he could get to it.
If there is one last thing I can say with utmost certainty, it's that everyone's lives became noticeably brighter.
A/N: Well, this is it. We finally reached the end. Thank you guys for all your support! I highly enjoyed writing this story, and I'm glad that I have people who enjoyed reading it! I actually never expected to have so many fans and followers this time around! But I don't think this is the best way to show my appreciation...so, have this special thank you instead. Undertale edition!

Thank you all so much for supporting me; even when I left on a 19-month hiatus without you knowing there was a guarantee that I would return and finish, you were still patient and waited for me. And I thank you, the reader, for taking your time to read this passion project of mine. I hope you all enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
