First Steps

"Ow my head! Why is it always my head? You would think after all the Resets I would be able to land better." Frisk sat up rubbing there head. "Chara, you there?" After a few moments of silence. "Chara?" they look around in confusion, their eyes stop once they see a child lying on the ground less than a foot from them. "What? This isn't supposed to happen."

Frisk quickly got up and walked over to them. "Are you all right?" After getting no response Frisk rolled them over quickly seeing that the person was a little girl around his age, after a quick look over Frisk saw that the only thing wrong with them was that they were unconscious from the fall. Her hair was a brilliant purple, and she wore a clean black dress.

"I wonder who you are?" Frisk sits down right next the girl deep in thought. "The last timeline, that was new I wonder what caused that thing to appear. It talked as if it knew us, but I would know if we had met." There is a brief moment of silence. Frisk's eyes brimmed,"Segoe was there to at the end and they acted like they had met or that they were working together... Segoe I'm sorry!"

"Will you be quiet please," a sleepy voice muttered.

Frisk jumped in shock, they were unaware that they had been talking out loud,"I am sorry but are you not worried about the fact that you feel down here?"

"I just kicked your but Frisk, and yes I know who you are, and yes I know Segoe, and yes I am that dragon, my name is Aurora, okay?" Aurora said sleepily. Rolling back over in the flowers in hopes of returning to sleep.

"What? How, you look human?" Frisk's mind was racing, how is it possible for this girl and that dragon to be the same person, just how?

"Ha, you are the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover, and MAGIC!" with that she sits up. "Listen, after Segoe killed you, you Reset like normal right?"

"Right" Frisk said with a voice filled with confusion.

"But there was something wrong, Chara was starting to completely take you over mind, body, and Soul. So Segoe had one of her teammates activate a True Reset, so the only ones that know about what happened in the other Resets that are from this world are you and Gaster."

"What you two made a True Reset, and what do you mean Chara was taking me over?" Frisk has gone from confusion to panic.

"Because of the multiple Geno runs you and Chara began to overlap with each other, and it was clear that Chara had a stronger will than you, you had the Determination, but not the will to control Chara, once they became like that." She rubs her face. "So are you going to try Geno again?"

Frisk looked at the ground,"During our fight did you truly mean those words? About even the worst person can change?"

"Yes I do Frisk, but my words don't matter, your intentions do, so what is it going to be?"

"I...I don't want to kill anyone, you were right I killed out of fear, Flowey scared me into not trusting others. Then Toriel left I... I just thought that it was what I had to do." Frisk started to cry.

Aurora hugged them "It is alright Frisk, this time we will save everyone, even Chara." She stood up. "Now we need to go!"

Frisk wiped away their tears. "okay lets do it!" The said with the biggest smile on their face. They ran up and garbed Aurora's hand. Together they walked into the next room, waiting for them was a single flower in a patch of sunlight. Aurora was enjoying the sudden wash of company.

"Howdy! I'm Flowey, Flowey the Flower!" Flowey said with false cheer,"You're new to the Underground aren't you?"

Aurora tilted her head to the side, but before she or Frisk could say anything Flowey continued his little speech,"Golly you must be so confused! Someone will have to teach you two how things work around here! I guess little ole' me will have to do! Ready here we go!" The area darkened around us as the familiar feeling of entering a fight happens, Frisk's red soul appeared, but Aurora's soul didn't. Flowey sent a quick look of confusion before smiling.

"See that heart that is your soul!" At that point both Frisk and Aurora stopped paying attention to what flowey was saying, Frisk was wondering why Aurora's soul didn't, was it because she was a Monster, or was it something else? Aurora was to busy Singing something, actually it fit with Flowey's theme, she was bobbing to the music and everything. When the 'friendliness pellets' came they both dodged them, and again, and again.

Flowey's look of friendliness vanished as he goes all demonic on them,"You know what is going on here don't you, you both just wanted to see me suffer! In this world it is Kill or be Killed! Die!"With that a ring of pellets surrounded them, slowly drawing closer while Flowey laughed his evil laugh.

Frisk hugged Aurora, using that to whisper to her,"What are you singing?"

Aurora smiled and whispered back "It is called Your Best Friend, I heard it in a different AU:"

Your Best Friend (Undertale the Musical)

Suddenly a ball of Fire hit Flowey sending him across the room as a motherly voice said,"What a miserable creature torturing such poor innocent youths. Don't be afraid my Children, I am Toriel, Caretaker of the Ruins!"

"My name is Aurora and this is Frisk!" Aurora was excitedly bouncing on her feet at Toriel's arrival.

Toriel smiled and said "I pass through this area everyday to see if anyone has fallen down, you are the first humans to have fallen down here in a long time. Come! I will guide you through the catacombs!" Frisk ran up to her and grabbed her hand, Aurora did the same after glaring at Flowey.

After a brief walk Toriel lead the children up to a dummy, she explained what a fight was to us, and to not Fight but to use Mercy instead. Aurora looked at Frisk "you go first!"

Frisk nodded and walked up to the dummy and entered a fight. Frisk hit Act then Talk. "Hi, how are you doing?" After that the fight ended and Toriel looked happy. Then it was Aurora's turn, an evil smile crossed her face as she entered the fight. Aurora just sat there and spammed the Mercy button, until the dummy had enough of her foolishness and floated up and out of sight, Toriel's face just had the funniest expression, it caused Aurora to bust out laughing as Frisk look just as confused as Toriel did.

Toriel shook her head before smiling and saying "Come my children, lets go." After we walked through the next room Frisk entered a fight with a Froggit, they hit the Act button and hit complement "you look nice today Mr. Froggit!" Then Toriel entered the fight and just gave him the glare only a mother could, the Froggit quickly ended the fight and ran away from that stare.

A little bit later Toriel left us after she did the independence test and after handing Frisk the phone. Frisk looked nervous before asking,"Why does your Soul not come out when you enter a fight?"

"Because I don't want it to," was the reply he got. Frisk just rolled their eyes then decided to call Toriel, after a few calls they called her mom on accident. Toriel was very happy about that, and so was Frisk. "Hey lets call her Goat Mom, how about that?" Frisk nodded happily! "Now lets go!" after the usual phone calls, to which we said butterscotch over cinnamon, but that we didn't mind the other, we got to Toriel's house.

"So how did you like Napstablook?" Frisk asked

"It was fun! I like the Dapperblook hat thing he does!" before Aurora could say anything more Toriel came out.

She was worried for us but We hadn't taken any damage, she was a bit surprised, but grateful,"Oh it was foolish trying to surprise you this way! Oh well, follow me, my children!" she lead us into her home, once we stepped inside we felt the welcoming atmosphere of the house. "Do you smell that? Surprise I baked Cinnamon-Butterscotch pie! I thought that we could celebrate your arrival, so I will wait for another day to bake the Snail pie. Here I have another surprise for you!" she lead us down the hall to our left to the first door. "Here it is, your very own room! I am sorry that I had only one bed," she looked apologetic at that.

"Don't worry about that, you didn't know we were coming!" Aurora quickly said,"Me and Frisk can share a bed for now, it won't be to much trouble right Frisk?" Frisk nodded their head, almost falling asleep right there in the hallway.

"As long as you two don't have a problem at that then I don't either," suddenly Toriel turned around,"Is something burning...? Um.. Make yourselves at home!" She said as she ran of towards the kitchen.

Aurora opened the door and lead Frisk to the bed,"Get some rest Frisk, you will need it!" They just nodded and fell onto the bed. Aurora tucked them in before laying down next to them, as she does a purple mist surrounds her as they return to the Void.

"Well, it is going good so far, no deaths and no monster has been hurt, I call that a win so far!" She waves her hand and a screen pops up showing Toriel saving the pie From being burned.

"Chara! come here please!" Aurora called out. Chara appeared as a red ghost.

"Hi, what do you want Dragon?" Chara said with hidden fear in their voice.

"Relax I am not here to fight you again, in fact I am here to help you," Aurora said cooly.

"How? I doubt that you are going to let me posses you or Frisk."

"You saw my power, your soul still remains, as does your body. I can theoretically bring you back to life, but before I even start I want to come to an agreement with you, that sound fair?"

At this statement Chara's eyes where as wide as saucers "You can do that? And what kind of agreement?"

"I know that it was Frisk's fault for turning you into that murdering psychopath, but you can't deny the fact that you hate humanity and see it destroyed. I want you to give Humanity a chance to prove you wrong, and when Frisk and the other Monsters get to the surface, I want you to protect Frisk."

"Yes I hate humanity, but I am willing to be proven wrong about them, so I agree. Though why do you speak as though you aren't a Monster?" Chara was relieved that the deal was such a simple one, but also curious.

She smiled,"That is because I am not a Monster, it is as simple as that. I know you are eager to live once more, but you will have to wait a little while longer."

"Why is that?" Chara asked impatiently.

"Because if I brought you back now, Toriel wouldn't let Frisk, me, or you leave the Ruins, not to mention Asriel/Flowey wouldn't leave us alone. Once Frisk finishes the Pacifist route I will bring you back, along with Gaster and Asriel if things go according to plan."

Chara nodded at those words. "I can understand that, I will wait" they seem downcast at the news. "I understand, but.."

"I know, it hurts to be so close to being alive, but being told to wait." Aurora hugged Chara,"Now I have to get back before your mom notices that I am gone, so good night, Chara!"

"good night Aurora!" Chara said with a sad smile on their face.

Purple mist once more filled the void as Aurora returned to the bed and went to sleep. a few minutes later Goat Mom walked in to see Frisk and Aurora hugging each other in their sleep. Smiling she set down the two plates with slices of Cinnamon-Butterscotch pie. As she left the room she switched of the lights.

"Goodnight my children..."


"Hmm..." a familiar figure peered into the current timeline,"You did a good job."

"Thank Courier," grumbled another, they were seated in mid air, typing away on god-knows-what. There pale eyes drifted from their work to glance at the first.

"I'm assuming that you're pleased, G," she grinned.

"Ugh," sighed G,"You've been calling me that since TM43X! Give it a break, will you?" He scowled playfully,"Script."

"Segoe!" she brushed her bangs out of her face.

"Gaster!" he countered.

"Speaking of script, I assume that's what you're working on."

"Actually...no. This is more of a side project."

"Elementtale?"

"...Yes."

"Why are you yet to complete it? You've been on it for almost two years."

"Something always goes wrong, leave it be."

"Hmm."

There was an uncomfortable silence. Then Segoe was engulfed in a puddle of ink, only to appear out of a puddle beside Gaster.

"Something's off..." Segoe frowned, pressing F12 to open the timeline's code.

[ 5**3]

"Hmm...This will take a bit of effort..."

"Segoe, what does that mean?!" Gaster panicked.

"It's just a bug! Calm down, Wingdings! I can get this fixed in about a few days."

"What happened?!"

"I'm not sure because you won't quit distracting me!" She snapped,"I do need to warn Aurora to be careful..."

She summoned a small piece of paper, writing:

Aurora,

We have a small problem. It won't effect anything as long as you stick to the story line. Make sure not to do anything rash.

-Segoe

"I love how you write in Segoe Script," Gaster swallowed a laugh, reading over her shoulder.

Segoe growled at him. She created a small portal out of ink magic, and sent the note through-smiling with satisfaction as it appeared on the nightstand.

"Segoe Script to Avenir Bold, requesting backup-we need a pacifist ending, over."
