"So today, we're going to be making our own fanfictions," Frisk told her gathered monster friends; Undyne, Alphys, Chara and Asriel.
"Shall we make it a challenge?" Undyne asked, appearing excited at the prospect of a challenge.
"Sure," she answered. "and we can have the readers vote on the best?"
"Sounds good."
"I bet I'll win!" Chara announced.
"Not if I can help it!" Asriel smirked.
"Okay, let's get started!"
-A little while later
"Is everyone finished?" Frisk asked.
"Yep!"
"Mhmm!"
"Okay, let's see what you guys got."
-Undyne
Walking down the freezing roads of Snowdin, the young monster shivered. It was so cold and lonely without her parents. Her parents... she blinked away a stream of tears. She didn't want to think about it. She heard footsteps behind her, and quickly turned to face them.
…
…
But nobody came.
Feeling colder and more miserable than ever, she continued to make her way, her feet numb with cold. She heard the footsteps again, and once more turned to an empty space. A sigh wracked her body as she began to make her way home again. Where was her home? She knew where it was, but she didn't know how to get there.
She decided it was best to ask for directions. She went to the nearest door and knocked. "H-hi?"
"Go away!" The voice hissed from the other side. "I don't care."
"B-but-"
"Go away!"
Tearing up again, she turned from the door and made her way back across Snowdin. Soon, she found herself in the snowy forest. Another door loomed in the distance, and she didn't even realize as her legs carried her faster and faster towards it to break down in front of it, knocking furiously. "Please... help me!" She cried.
"Oh, I think I heard someone!" A voice answered from the other side.
"What did you hear, Tori?"
"Who's in there?" She called, knocking again.
She heard creaking from the other side and the door opened, revealing two tall goat monsters, one white with tan markings, and the other being a pure snowy white, both of them wearing matching purple robes with the royal symbol printed on them. "Oh, hello!" The female goat monster smiled, instantly warming the little monster up. "I am Toriel!"
"Well, gosh, it's not every day we find a little monster on our doorstep. My name is Asgore."
"What's you're name, little monster?"
"I-I don't have a name," she said shakily.
"Well! We'll just have to fix that, shall we? Come on in, little monster. Make yourself at home!"
She blinked at the goat monster, suddenly unsure of herself.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Come on in." She reached down and grasped her hand, patting it with one soft hand. "Welcome to you're new home, little monster!"
"Wow, Undyne! I didn't know you wrote like that!" Frisk exclaimed.
Alphys blushed. "R-remember the letter?" She asked.
Frisk blinked. "The one I tried throwing away, and she gave me Undyne's Letter EX instead?" She asked.
"Yep!" Undyne grinned.
"Okay, who's next?"
-Alphys
"Wait!" Frisk interrupted. "Alphys..."
"Yeah, let's not let her do her's..." Chara murmured.
"Agreed," Asriel nodded.
-Chara
Several wondrous things had happened since the monsters escaped Mt. Ebott two years ago. Papyrus was finally learning how to make proper spaghetti, Sans was able to relax for real, Toriel and Asgore had settled back down (with their favorite houseplant, Flowey), Mettaton was making it big, Napstablook was feeling less like garbage, and even Undyne and Alphys seemed relaxed and happy. Of course, they all still had deep connections with their savior, Frisk.
Frisk actually lived with Toriel, Asgore, Sans, and Papyrus, since the skele-bros had really nowhere else to go. Undyne and Alphys were more like aunt figures, and they lived together.
None of them would've allowed Frisk on the internet if they knew what would happen.
"Wow!" She cried happily. "You got internet!?"
Toriel stood a few feet behind her, smiling warmly as always. "It's what you asked for, my child," she said in the soft, gentle voice she used for her adopted daughter.
Grinning widely, Frisk wasted no time in utilizing the new abundance of information. One day, however, was a different story. Unable to contain her emotions (a mixture of excitement, fear, and triumph), she ended up calling all of her friends to the house.
Frisk turned to look seriously at the monsters gathered behind her. "Have you heard of... fanfictions?"
Frisk sighed. "Chara, what did we tell you about stealing fanfictions?"
"Hey, that sounds familiar," Asriel muttered.
"You doof, that's our fanfiction!" Undyne growled.
"Oooh, picky picky," Chara hissed. "Fine, Asri, you're turn."
Sticking his nose slightly in the air, Asriel propped the computer on his lap.
-Asriel
"Do you think Dad'll like it?" Asriel asked, feeling the warm fuzz of the sweater beneath his paws.
"Oh, of course, Asri," Chara agreed, the faintest tint of a sneer in his voice.
What's wrong with him? Asriel wondered. He's been acting really weird lately...
"Hey Asriel," Chara started, and Asriel perked his ears.
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering...how do you feel about getting back to the surface?"
"I would love that more than anything, you should know that, Chara," Asriel replied honestly.
"Well, I know a way to get there," he gave the goat monster a wicked grin.
Asriel gasped, before lowering his voice so his mom and dad didn't hear. "What is it?"
"You see," he brought him closer so that his face was inches away from the monster's ear. "I eat the buttercups Dad has in his garden," he started, his plan unfolding as he explained it. "Then, when I am on the brink of death, take my SOUL."
"But Chara! Wouldn't that kill you?"
He chuckled, his voice lowering even further. "Of course, but I care more about you getting to the surface than my own life. It'll be fun! And when you get there, we can play again, like old times!"
"It wasn't fun,"Asriel took in a shuddering breath. "It wasn't..."
He was on the brink of tears, and it took a moment to realize that it wasn't just a fanfiction, but him recalling that point of his life.
Even Chara teared up. "Was that really how it was like?" He fretted. "Asri... I'm sorry."
Undyne threw her arms around the two old friends, grinning madly. "Fuhuhuhu! Those were the good days, weren't they, Alphys?"
Alphys didn't say anything, but replied with a blush.
"Well, since that's everyone, I guess that's the end of this chapter," Frisk informed the audience. She nodded to the other monsters.
"Hey! Don't forget about me!" Chara pouted. "Stupid narrator, forgetting about me."
Nodded to the other monsters and Chara.
"Better," He grumbled.
"Bye people!"
