I'm sorry for the long waits in between chapters. Sometimes I lose motivation. But I swear, I will finish this before 2018. :P

And, I will get a Friskriel oneshot out next month sometime. :)

After breakfast, me and Azzy had a few minor chores to do. We worked together to clean and put away dishes, we made sure we cleared the table before doing so. We also tidied up our room and made our beds. Again, minor chores.

Asriel had an idea of what do for today.

"Let's got to Waterfall!" He suggested.

Oh, great. Asriel wanted to take pictures, a hobby he'd developed since shortly after I'd arrived. I felt like it was an excuse just to take pictures of me. He's got enough for you to have a separate picture of me for every day of the year! Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration. But it sure feels that way, sometimes!

But given he's never taken a picture in Waterfall - at least, to my knowledge - I supposed he was going to actually take scenic pictures. Boy was I wrong. We got there, and the first thing he did was get me standing in front of a waterfall. I was immediately pissed off with him.

But, I let him run around and have his fun for around two hours. Had we done things differently, however, I don't think I'd have as much of drastically different life as I do now. Y'know, living in your head and all.

Ooh, whoopsie me. There I go, spoiling everything! Sometimes I wonder about myself. But yeah, that is kinda where the story ends. I guess.

I suppose I don't need to continue? Oh, wait, I do. Aw, shit. Sometimes I just hate people like you.

So, I posed in front of a few waterfalls for him. He got his pictures. We began to wade through the waters, deep in Waterfall, and he began to educate me. He began to educate me about the past lives of monsters. About the war between monsters and humans. The meaning of the Delta Rune.

He told me about how souls fused, and created powerful beings. How the humans had feared them so much because of it, they'd banished them here. I cursed my ancestors. They'd done this, and I felt responsible for it all. Like I had to bring everyone to the surface, somehow. Finally, he mentioned this;

"A long time ago, monsters would whisper their wishes to the stars in the sky. If you hoped with all your heart, your wish would come true. Now, all we have are these sparkling stones on the ceiling..."

"Wow," I said, awestruck.

"C'mon, sis! Make a wish!" He said, putting me on the spot.

"Uhh... I..." I stammered, unable to think of anything.

"So? Don't you have any wishes to make?"

I thought for a moment. "... hmmm, just one, but... It's kind of stupid."

"Don't say that! Come on, I promise I won't laugh."

"... hmmm... if I say my wish... You promise you won't laugh at me?"

"Of course I won't laugh!"

"Someday, I'd like to climb this mountain we're all buried under. Standing under the sky, looking at the world all around... That's my wish."

He chuckled.

"Hey! You said you wouldn't laugh!" I whined.

"Sorry, it's just funny... That's my wish, too."

To say I was touched by that moment would be saying the least. I felt a connection with him that day. I knew we'd be friends for a very long time.

So, we did the whole "pictures," thing at Waterfall for around two-ish hours. I honestly didn't keep track, but it felt like an eternity's hell. I wanted nothing more than to take his camera and bash it on the ground.

But, I couldn't do that to him. He was like a brother to me. I shouldn't say that, as it becomes awkward later, but I don't care at this point. You asked for this story.

So, as we walked back to Home, and when we were about to leave Snowdin town, lighting seemingly struck, even though it should be impossible for it to happen in The Underground. There was a big flash of white light, the world around us merely a blur. Asriel screamed like a girl throughout the process, something of which I noted to pick on him for later.

When the temporary blindness cleared from my eyes, a skeleton with an odd grin stood on one knee. He looked up at me, and his expression seemed to darken, though his smile need changed. His right eyeball vanished, and the left glowed blue and orange simultaneously.

"If you kill anyone, you're gonna have a bad time," he said in a monotone, nearly evil voice. It was gravely, and held weight to it.

"I- I don't understand wh-what you mean by that. I love everyone here," I stuttered. I meant it, too.

His expression changed instantaneously. His eyes reverted to normal, and he stood quickly. He placed his hands on the sides of his skull.

"Dammit," he uttered.

He felt a bit off to me. Like, he'd come here to tell someone something, and mistook me for that person. I know who he meant to speak to now, but I won't reveal who it is just yet.

Something about killing someone? I'd never tempted the thought, other than myself, of course. But, that wasn't what was off to me. How had he appeared from nowhere? Did he hold some sort of mighty power? If so, what was it? And if we were similar, what could he teach me.

Oh, right. I'm getting ahead of myself again. This is a secret I rarely reveal. I have the ability to save and reset timelines as I wish. You probably already guessed, but I figured I'd just confirm your suspicions. I actually didn't figure that out until a year before the events I'm describing. Of course, you know I discovered saving before then.

But, I'm off track. Let me take a second to get my story straight.

...mmhm, yeah, alright.

So, I figured this into account in his power. Perhaps these powers were within his capacity. And I had a needlessly complicated plan to get the truth out of him to set up.

In hindsight, it wasn't one of my best plans...
