It had been a few weeks since Ink showed him Underfell and explained the wonders of AU travel. Heck, he even helped Link with his newfound abilities after what happened in Underfell. Flowey stuck by his side, and he grew to like the flower. May even consider him a friend.

Link traveled within his AU, staying here and there. Papyrus offered the spot on the couch for a place to sleep. Link turned it down, not wanting to intrude, but Papyrus insisted as he dragged him to the colorfully lit house. He slept there for the night to please the younger skeleton. Then, left before Papyrus woke up.

Chara had attacked a few different AUs and Ink brought him to each and every one. He gathered information from each survivor. But he hadn't heard anything from Ink in the past few days, though. Link wasn't sure if that was a good thing, or bad. Meant Chara hadn't killed anyone, but it could had also mean she has something bigger planned.

"Hey, Link?" Link's attention turned to the flower firmly rooted in the ground. "Are you okay? You've been staring at that echo flower for an hour."

"I'm fine," he assured Flowey, who didn't seemed convinced. "Just thinking about Chara." The flower's stem stiffened at the name and the dirt around its roots shifted.

"What about them?"

"It's been a while since they last attacked. Do you think they got something bigger planned? Did they get another one of the souls?" Link sighed and pulled his knees close to his chest, resting his chin on them. "This is all just getting stressful. I still don't remember anything from before all this. Thought something would have triggered a memory or a flashback."

"Well, I don't know about Chara and their plans," Flowey started. "But I think it's kind of a good thing you don't remember anything."

"How could that possibly be a good thing?" Link huffed.

"Well, you get to have a new start. The resets don't affect you so you won't forget anything." Flowey's root wrapped around his legs and his petaled face met his. "You get to experience everything a second time and find what you like again. If that's not a positive, I don't know what is."

"I guess you're right," Link grumbled.

"Good," Flowey said, pulling himself up to the skeleton's shoulder. "Now, how about we go to Papyrus's and eat some bad spaghetti." This made Link crack a smile and stood up. He shuffled down the dark path, only the soft, blue light of echo flowers soaking the dirt in it's glow.

They made their way to Snowdin. A few of the residents gave the acquaintances some glances their way. Link was a stranger to them, just as they were to him. Flowey seemed to know them, giving a passerby a small smile.

Link rapped on the door a few times and waited for someone to answer. Papyrus opened it, that large, gleeful smile quickly taking over and his eyes widened.

"Hello, Link," he greeted. "Hello, Flowey. How are you, today?"

"We're great, Papyrus." The taller skeleton gesture from them to come inside. They sat at the dinner table. A plate was placed in front of Link, piled high with spaghetti and topped with red sauce.

"You're lucky I had my famous spaghetti already prepared," he smiled. Papyrus scarfed down the meal, smiling passed the awful taste. Link did the same, offering a bite to Flowey every once in a while.

Hey guys,

I know it's been a while since I've updated this. I have other stories I'm working on and high school has taken a lot of my time, being a senior and getting ready for college. I am sorry about how short this is. Hope you like it.
