Chapter 8
Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey Stuff
I let go of Skiee's hand and look at her.
"We missed something." I say, Skiee cocks her head sideways.
"What do you mean?" Skiee asks, I bring her to the side of Grillby's, where a frozen pool was at.
"When I fell down Mt. Ebott, the first thing in the first timeline was look into a pool that gave me a window into the future." I say, Skiee looks a bit more confused now.
"Why is that important." Skiee asks, I look at the frozen pool.
"I didn't look into it on the first timeline." I say, Skiee looks shocked by this revelation. I bring her to the pool and we look into it. We see the "just fallen" me (with both eyes and no long spiky hair) jump back. I'm confused now, I didn't jump back this timeline.
"I didn't jump back from the sight of the pool this time line." I tell Skiee, now she's surprised even more. First time-line me look back into the pool, I look at Skiee. "This must be another one of those glitches." I say, Skiee goes to says something but doesn't. We walk off to Papyrus's house and enter.
"I've hidden the chest in your room Papyrus." Undyne says, We walk up to this gathering that's going on in the middle of the living room.
"What's up Skiee?" Riku says to Skiee as he walks up to her.
"Nothing, just saw something with Ziplet." Skiee answers, Riku looks at me suspiciously. Sans comes up to me.
"Hello Ziplet." Sans greets, he brings up his skeletal hand for a high-five so I commence in it.
"Hi Sans." I reply, when suddenly the door bursts open and we all look to the door.
"Skiee!" A voice says, a little girl enters the door. It's the same girl I saw in the vision hiding in the corner only she has glasses.
"Phoenix?" Skiee says in surprise, the girl hugs Skiee.
"Yes." The girl says, Skiee hugs back. I sense both SOUL wavelengths from them giving off joyful wavelengths to each other. They let go of each other and Skiee turns to us, eyes full of tears.
"This is my sister Phoenix." Skiee introduces, We all go to greet Phoenix. Once it comes to my turn I stick out my hand for a handshake.
"I'm Ziplet." I say cheerfully, Phoenix takes my hand and drags me outside…...this is sudden. Phoenix let's go of my hand when we get outside.
"I already know who you are Ziplet." Phoenix says sternly, I'm honestly confused because I've never met Phoenix before.
"How?" I ask, Phoenix rolls her eyes.
"I've been following Skiee for awhile now, even at the first timeline." Phoenix states, I think I may know why she pulled me aside now.
"You know about the whole date thing don't you?" I say, Phoenix rolls her eyes again.
"Of course I know! I need to know something from you." She says, I wonder what she wants from me (in fact you guys are too I'm guessing).
"What is it?" I ask, Phoenix glares at me.
"Keep Skiee safe." Phoenix command….wait…..didn't Phoenix see that spar Skiee did with Undyne?
"But Skiee is so highly capable of protecting herself." I say, Phoenix rolls her eyes again (what is up with this girl and rolling her eyes).
"All of you have an 82 percent chance of not surviving. If any of you are going to survive i want Skiee to." She replies, that percentage of us not surviving doesn't boost my confidence. We walk back inside.
"What're you two up to?" Riku asks, I shrug along with Phoenix.
"I think it's about time for us to sleep so we can fight tomorrow!" Undyne yells out, we all go to our original sleeping spots (except Phoenix who went to go sleep in Sans room). I lay on the couch and fall asleep.
I wake up to the sound of glass shattering, I see I'm in the living room. The chest containing the bottles of SOULs is right next to me open and empty. I look on the ground in front of me to see the containers shattered, with the SOULs missing. I hear doors slam open as I drop to my knees and scream.
"Ziplet! What's wro…" Skiee stops when she notices the broken containers in front of me.
"It wasn't my fault! I swear." I plead, tears start to roll down my cheeks as my friends start coming into the house….this wasn't my fault.
