././. Eve's POV .\.\.
I was lying in a pile of leaves with Froggit. It just laid there with me and played with the leaves every so often meowing or ribbit-ing. I smiled and relaxed. It felt nice here. I had been here for a couple days healing up. But right now, I was a bit... Bone-ly. Toriel, who I now call mom, has been teaching me a few puns.
Anyways, I've been worried about Frisk and hoping he was ok... I needed him to be alright. I also wondered why he had pushed me into the hole that brought me here. I was angry for a moment but, I was more worried than anything else. He was good at gardening and very careful with the plants but, he was going to need to go to the store and talk to the cashier for the other things we needed at the house. He told me that he didn't like them very much almost all the time.
Mom walked over and sat next to me. The Froggit quickly ran away as it saw her, "What's wrong my child?"
"I... It's nothing... I'm just missing someone..." I sighed as I played with the leaves.
"Oh? Is it a boy? ~" She slightly teased as she sat next to me in the pile of leaves. I quickly became flustered as she says that, "W-What!? Mom! n-no! Well, yes but, not like that!"
After telling her about my brother and our life style beforehand. Also about the life before the one we had in the house we worked in together, she tried to convince me to stay and wait for my brother but, I was against it. I wanted to find him as quickly as possible. I wanted to make sure he was ok and going to school. I worried about him more than anything in the world. She soon understood and decided to train me in case I needed to defend myself.
I learned how to hear all sorts of attacks as we trained for the next day. I, however, didn't fight back and kept dodging the attacks she sent. I would get hit a few times but I still did nothing offensive. I would be telling her puns to make her laugh and be distracted so she would be spared. I didn't want to hurt anyone so, I mostly Acted and Spared her as well as other monsters she had put me up against.
Finally, she felt I was ready and let me go, "Alright my child... If you must go... Please don't come back..." I felt her arms around me and smiled lightly, "Mom... 'water' are you talking about? I'm going to try and free all the monsters in the underground... Then we can live on the surface... Together like a family. You, me, and Frisk. And who knows, maybe you can find someone to make you happy so you won't be so 'bone-ly'."
She sadly chuckled and hugged me tightly, "Oh, my child, you're the first one to stay so long... Before you go... Your skirt is much too short for the weather out there. I'll be back with something warm to wear..."
.::. Author's POV.::.
Toriel smiled and came back with a long black military styled coat dress that would keep Eve warm for the snowy weather. She had saved it from the last time a female human fell. 'It must have been winter up there when that girl fell...' She thought as she touched the gold embroidery on the bottom of the coat. It was designed to look like little bird cages at the bottom.
The girl, sadly, hadn't survived the fall and the soul had broken by the time she had made it to the ground. So, she hadn't suffered when she passed to Toriel's knowledge. The flowers were covered in splatters red and a fluffy white during that time.
She shook her head of the thought and grabbed a pair of boots, stockings, scarf, gloves and hat. She thought it best to let these be useful to Eve now instead of collecting dust. Eve smiled when she heard Toriel come back as quickly as she left. Toriel handed Eve the stockings and boots, "Put those on. I'll help you with your coat dear."
"Ok." She says softly, doing as she's asked to. After they were put on, Toriel put the coat on Eve and buttoned it for her. "My, aren't you as cute as a button... Makes me want to eat you up like snail pie. ~"
"Well, I'm you're button mom." Eve smiled as she hugged her. She then looked sad as she touched her mom's face. She began to feel her mother's features for the first time.
She 'saw' the monster-like face that Toriel had but, she simply smiled lightly, "There you are mom..." Toriel held back tears and smiled softly as she gave her the gloves and hat, "Stay warm sweetheart... I... I love you very much."
"I... I love you too mom... I promise I'll make it back to you." Eve says confidently as she hugs her tightly. "And... I'll see you again. We can have Cinnamon butterscotch pie together with Frisk. I know he'll love you too."
Toriel hugged her one last time before letting her go. Eve waved her walking stick slowly in front of her as she left the Ruins.
/'.'\ Flowey's POV /'.'\
Frisk was crying over his sister being pushed in. I couldn't believe Frisk had the guts to do it, but to jump in with such determination... "You're an idiot Frisk. Why waste your time with this stupid task? She'll be dead in no time. Why not reset and come alone next time?"
Frisk looked at me as he wiped away his tears away, "B-Because... I think it's time I lived in this timeline. No more resets!... I have to tell her it was an accident... That I didn't mean to push her... She's the only person I have left in this world..."
"Frisk... She's going to fucking die you know, right? If you reset now, she won't be in any pain or die." I smirked slightly
"Not if I'm fast enough! I'm a god damn Dreemer after all... And so are you Asriel..." He says with the most determination I had ever seen.
"StOp CaLlInG mE tHaT yOu LiTtLe ShIt!" I shouted at him. Instead of him yelling back at me he spoke softly...
"Fine, Flowey. You're coming with me..." He says picking me up and taking me with him.
"WHAT!? Hey! Frisk put me down!" He had found a boot and carried the boot with me in it. He took me through the ruins and to Toriel's home.
"I hAtE yOu FrIsK…"

My little girl left and I went back to the house to clean up. I sighed, "Well, she wasn't really little but..." I sighed as I looked at the book she had me make so I could learn Braille. She had such a kind and care free smile even when I made mistakes. She told me about Morse code as well and what would be said with the different taps that she made on the table. We made a game of learning that as well.
I was learning so much from someone so different from the other humans that had come through here. It made me so sad as I looked through the books that she had helped me with. All I could do was wait and hope she was going to be ok so I could see her again.
Tears were forming in my eyes and I tried to wipe them away but more kept coming I sighed and took deep breaths. Taking care of so many humans and letting them go to meet the same fate over and over again. It was beginning to take its toll on me. Suddenly there was a knock at my door.
"Oh my... I wonder who that could be." I say more to myself slightly surprised as I finally had calmed down and wiped away the tears, "Who's there?"
"Um... Lost." said a young child's voice.
"Lost who?" I asked as I reached down to open the door.
"Lost my sister. Can you help?"
