Happy New Year! How did you spend your first minutes of 2016? Let me know in the reviews!
This is the first time skip of the story! And I'm hoping that I can get a schedule for update days going on this story, at least one a week. Probably on Sundays. And I did some research on sprained ankles, so I'm not giving Chara an overly long, or too rushed recovery time.
(One Month Later)
"Chara, watch your ankle! And don't hurt yourself Asriel!" Toriel called as Asriel and I ran out the front door.
"We'll be careful mom!"Asriel yelled over his shoulder. We passed the tree in front of the house and ran off into the ruins. My ankle had been healed for about a week, but Toriel, or mom, as I had started to call her, insisted that I stayed in the house. I had shown Asriel a few different card games, and we would sit and play them for hours on end at the table.
But now mom was actually letting me go into the Ruins with Asriel.
So, naturally, Asriel had grabbed my wrist and was basically dragging me around the Ruins, showing me his favorite hiding places. He even introduced me to a few of his friends. Napstablook was quiet, but he was really nice, too. Asriel taught me about the different monsters and puzzles that filled the area.
It was fun and all, but after about a week, Asriel had shown me everything in the Ruins, and I became bored. Apparently the Ruins were only one part of the Underground, but Asriel wasn't sure how to leave the Ruins.
But he did mention that mom wouldn't let him in the basement, and that's when I got an idea.
"Hey, Asriel," I said, looking over at the monster. He looked up from where he was, sitting on a bed of flowers, while also holding a bunch of them in his arms. "I have an idea."
"Well, what is it?" Asriel asked as I sat next to him. He began to place the flowers he was holding in my hair, one at a time.
"You know how mom said you can't go into the basement?" I asked. Asriel froze up, his hand halfway between the flowers in his lap and my head.
"Chara, no," he said firmly, bringing his hand down to his lap, dropping the small flower. "We- we can't disobey mom! She'd get really mad, and- Chara, I don't wanna upset her!"
"Who says she has to know?" I asked, though Asriel looked away from me. "You've said it yourself; you're sick of staying in the Ruins all the time."
"I am, but-"
"But nothing!" I interrupted. "Asriel, please! You've shown me everything you can in here!"
"Chara, no," Asriel said, sighing and wringing his hands. "I-I can't..."
"Why don't we go tonight, when mom's asleep?" I suggested, though Asriel still looked worried by the thought. "She'll never find out." His red eyes looked nervously at the pile of flowers in his lap, and he closed his eyes. I placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Fine Chara, you win..."
"How is your leg, my child?" Mom asked when Asriel and I walked through the door. I looked up at her, the smell of butterscotch and cinnamon hitting my nose.
"Good," I said, smiling.
"How about you, Asriel?" Mom asked, focusing on my brother this time. He nodded, grinning as he handed mom a bright yellow flower.
"Chara and I found some flowers near the opening in the ice," Asriel said. Mom smiled softly, looking down at the flower.
"Be sure to never eat these, my children," she said, holding up the flower. "They can make a monster, or a human, very sick. Do you understand?" Asriel's eyes widened, and he glanced over at me.
"Okay, mom," I said, nudging Asriel, who blinked and nodded quickly.
"Good. I don't know what I would do if I lost either of you..." Mom said, pulling the two of us into a hug. Asriel hummed, wrapping his arms around her neck. I did the same.
Alright, so next chapter I plan on adding some characters that I think you guys know... It's Papyrus and Sans (if I can find a way to add them).
Also, expect updates at least every other week. I got my kindle working again, so I can now write a little more often. And I plan on pre-writing chapters now so I can just edit and publish on a schedule.
Anywho, expect a little more from me, especially in this fandom. I actually drew Undyne today, and it should be up on DeviantArt by Wednesday.
So if I don't have an update in a couple of weeks, it's probably because I've been with my boyfriend, and he comes before fanfiction. It's true! Us authors have lives, too!
