Chapter Three: Songs of the Fans
Can you hear the screaming
Can you hear the shouting
Can you hear them applauding
Can you hear them calling
The fans, the stars
Are exactly what we are
You are the fan of me
I am the fan of you
So tell me what to do
It has been a week after "A Flower Has Fallen" had been released on iTunes and it became a national sensation. Echo Records even started to make a music video.
Chloe, the drummer that worked with Frisk, recorded a video of the band (Mike, Chloe, Lee, and Madison, who called themselves the Buds) pranking her. Apparently, it was some kind of tradition for newbies to be pranked.
The video went like this-
"You guys ready," the camera was pointed to one girl and two guys, who nodded. The camera then turned to the girl holding it, Chloe.
"Hello, Echoes," this was the nickname they gave the fans of Echo Records, even though there isn't that much. Chloe was in charge of the company's YouTube channel, "Chloe here! I know how much y'all love Buttercup, so we're gonna prank her! Me, Lee, Madison, and Mike all work with her and the tradition of pranking new comers is continuing."
The camera moved to the door way, "we are gonna do the classic art of when the door opens and the bucket dumps stuff onto Buttercup. In the bucket is a bunch of pink glitter! She should be here in a couple of minutes."
Chloe moved behind a chair by the door to secretly record the prank. The others pretending to be working.
Soon Buttercup arrived, opening the door.
"What the?!" Mike yelled as the glitter tried to fall on her, but she dodged it.
After she was clear of the mess she found Chloe, "if you want to prank me then you'll have to do better than that."
"Dang it!" Chloe stood up and put the camera basically in the singer's face, "but how did you move so fast?"
Buttercup just shrugged, "just remember, I'll get you all back for that"- she pointed to everyone- "come on, we have work to do."
Now, the video got a million views and the channel got a lot more following. Also, everyone knew what Buttercup looked like. This is why Frisk's trip to the coffee chop was different than normal.
She usually went to the coffee shop before going to Echo Records. She used the name Buttercup, but everyone thought she was just a fan of the new singer.
"Buttercup?" The barista shouting a Frisk went to go get her coffee.
Once she got up to the counter, the barista stared at her, "you're actually Buttercup!"
Everyone's head turned to her direction and she was bombarded by questions.
"Are you writing more songs?" The barista asked.
"Yes," Frisk was getting overwhelmed.
"What made you go into singing?" One asked.
"A friend told me to."
"Buttercup?" A little girl tugged at her shirt, "I wanna be like you when I grow up!"
Frisk smiled, "I think whatever you do, you'll be amazing!"
The girl squealed and ran to her mom, who was standing a bit a way.
It took Frisk about thirty minutes to get out of there. She gave everyone autographs, not wanting to disappoint them, and answered more questions. She was finally able to leave.
"Looks like you're pretty famous, huh?" Chara teased.
Frisk rolled her eyes as she entered the company.
Suddenly, the human's instincts took over and she jumped forward. Looking back, there was a trip line and a pie in front of it. Frisk saw Chloe with a camera.
"Seriously!" Chloe shouted, "how are you doing that?"
"Secret," Frisk giggled, "also, every time you try to prank me, I'll prank you back times two!"
"I doubt it," Chloe looked into the camera, "another bust, Echoes. Maybe another day, later!" She turned off the camera.
"Yo, Butercup," Madison walked up to her, "why were you late? We've been waiting for thirty minutes!"
"The people at the coffee shop knew who I was," Frisk said, drinking from said coffee.
"That's gonna be happening more often," Lee told her, "you're becoming famous!"
"Come on!" Chloe told them, "we're recording your new song today!"
A couple days later at Asriel
Asriel sat down on his bed listening to Frisk's new song. It was his way of keeping track with his sister.
Cyrstal light, water bright,
First thing I wish tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
To see the stars at night.
I wish I might, I wish I may,
To see the stars another day.
Crystal light, water bright,
Shining through the night,
I wish to see them in my sight
And wish for something right.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
To see the stars shining bright.
I wish I might, I wish I may,
To be free one day.
Crystal light, water bright,
Last thing I wish tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
To have this wish I wish tonight,
To see the stars shining bright!
Asriel smiled. He knew she was singing about Waterfall. The glowing crystals that were stuck in the ceiling, the glowing water, and wishing. The prince wondered if anyone else would notice.
"The new star's new song about stars!" The host on the radio show shouted.
"That's the best way to describe it," another said, "Crystal Light, Water Bright", which was based on the poem, has reached number one on the charts! Buttercup is becoming more famous by the day!"
"Yeah," the host said, "also, some good news. We have information that Echo Records, along with Buttercup, are making a music video of "A Flower Has Fallen". It should be released in a couple of weeks!"
Asriel turned off the radio to go check the mail. No one was home, Toriel and Asgore were at some interview, and so no one saw him.
There was no letter from Frisk, but there was a letter from some movie company. More specially, Mettaton's movie company, which was based in the city that Frisk was in.
The prince read the letter. It was asking that his family would star in the retelling of Frisk's journey through the underground.
Asriel thought for a moment, this might be hard on his parents to remember Frisk. But, it might also help. If Frisk is in the city, then if they saw her, they could see if Chara is better or not.
He smiled and went back inside, holding the letter for "Undertale".
For the people saying I'm stealing the story from "Come Find Me", like I said, this is based off it. Song of the Soul will have a different plot, but it will also have some of the same things. Also, the story really hasn't even kicked off yet, so it will basically have the same start as the others. Anyway, stay tuned for chapter four: Song of the Movies!
See ya later!
