A/N: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. As a treat, here's the next chapter. Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving-me, I just ate a turkey ham sandwich with chips, marshmallows, and Tootsie Rolls. Yeah...we didn't have enough money to get all the stuff for a traditional Thanksgiving meal...and even if we did, neither of us know how to prepare everything. Heh heh heh...yeah. Also, guess that means no sweets at all next week-trying to stay healthy, after all.
XXPay4XtraShippingsXX-Robbie as Alphys...hmm, there's a thought...
The Whovian Faller Nyan Cat-YAY! New reviewer! :D Good to have you on board. One of the best fanfictions you've ever read?! Oh you :*) Well, I try. Seriously though, I was getting pretty disheartened that I had only one reviewer, so thanks a lot. Your feedback means the world to me. I'm certainly trying-I have ideas for the characters, and I'm pretty happy with how everything's turning out. And don't worry, I won't do a Genocide version...well, not entirely...

"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Pacifica screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran through the snow, Wendy hot on her trail.
Even as she screamed it, she knew it was hopeless. She was human, after all. Who would help her?
This was it. She was doomed. That fish girl was going to kill her, and she couldn't even fight back. The best she could do was evade her. Light ax after light ax flew after Pacifica, and she only barely avoided losing her head.
"Hey, watch it! I…" Pacifica didn't get a chance to continue. She bumped into something solid.
Or rather, some ONE.
"HEY, IT'S YOU!" Grenda said.
"Help!" Pacifica begged her. "Wendy's going to kill me! For REAL!" Before Grenda could say anything, Wendy herself stopped in front of her.
"Hey-what are you doing?! Get away from that human, kid!"
"I wasn't going to do anything!" Pacifica said, tears pouring down her face. "Please, don't kill me! I-I've got gold! I'll pay you!" She knew she was grasping at straws, but at the moment, Pacifica didn't care. She was scared out of her mind.
"Trying to bribe me?!" Wendy demanded. "You can't buy me, human! And I'm not going to stand by and let you hurt the people I care about!" She raised her halberd, and Pacifica took off running again, ignoring Grenda's shout of 'HEY, WAIT! WENDY!'.
What's her deal?! Out of all the monsters I've faced here, none of them have been THIS determined to get me!
Suddenly, Pacifica remembered what she'd heard from Soos and Grenda.
"The kingdom's in a pretty desperate situation. Did you know Wendy was only your age when she joined the Royal Guard?"
"HUMANS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN MONSTERS, AFTER ALL! THE HUMANS ATTACKED US FOR NO REASON!"
Something must have happened to her that made her really hate humans! Pacifica thought. How do I…?
Suddenly, she froze in her tracks, an idea coming to her. Wendy wasn't far behind, and she raised her halberd again.
"Giving up?!"
"No." Pacifica answered, shaking her head. She turned around, offering her hand to Wendy.
"What are you doing?" The fish asked, raising an eyebrow.
"What does it look like?!" Pacifica demanded. "I'm showing you mercy!"
"Excuse me?"
"I…!" Pacifica sighed, trying to calm down as she looked over at Wendy. "Look, it's pretty obvious you're not crazy about humans. I don't know what happened here-but I'm not LIKE the humans that drove you all down here. Heck, for all I know, that could've happened long before I was born! So how about it?" She looked at Wendy seriously. "I'm showing you mercy. So how about you just take it, and we let bygones be…"
"Just how stupid do you think I am?" Wendy interrupted. "I know you're just trying to trick me into letting my guard down!" She raised her ax again, and Pacifica's heart stopped.
"No! I'm showing you mercy!" Wendy threw another light ax at Pacifica, and the blonde screamed out as her arm was slashed. A line of blood started to trickle down her arm.
"End of the line, human." Wendy stepped forward, ax raised to finish Pacifica off. The little blonde was openly crying now.
And like that, Wendy's bloodlust was gone.
She sighed, dropping her ax.
"I can't do this."
"H-huh?" Pacifica blinked through her tears at her.
"I can't kill a kid. It'd give me nightmares." She shook her head and turned to walk away…but then suddenly froze in her tracks, breathing heavily.
"What are you…?"
"Aw man…" Wendy panted. "With all that excitement…I didn't notice I'd come all the way out here…"
"Here?" Pacifica wiped the tears from her eyes…and suddenly realized that she was in an entirely different part of the Underground.
The area had volcanic rock all around…and a river of lava. Pacifica gasped as she looked down from the bridge she'd just realized she'd run out on.
Fumes wafted up from the lava, beating her face with blasts of hotness and making her start to sweat.
"My armor…" Wendy panted again. Pacifica winced as she looked at Wendy. That was some heavy-looking armor. And with the heat from the lava…Wendy was a walking fish fry if she stayed here.
"So…you gonna just stand there?!" Pacifica wiped the sweat and tears from her face as she stood up and walked over to Wendy.
"Come on." With those words, she grabbed Wendy's hand and led her off the bridge like SHE was the child. Once they were safely across, Pacifica looked up at the fish girl.
"See?! I saved your butt! So don't kill me, okay? Please?" This last part was added as an afterthought, but it wasn't necessary.
"…Dipper was right about you." Wendy sighed, shaking her head. "He didn't say you were this much of a brat, though."
"Hey!" Pacifica protested.
"Have you really been going all this way by yourself?"
"Yeah-kinda." Pacifica answered.
"Armed with nothing but a stick?!" Wendy smirked. "Good way to get yourself killed."
"Well, it's worked so far!" Pacifica blushed, then looked down. "I don't want to fight or kill anyone, okay?!" Wendy studied her.
"Y'know, you kind of remind me of Ford."
"The king?" Pacifica asked in surprise. Wendy nodded, letting out a shaky breath.
"He doesn't like fighting either, unless it's absolutely necessary." She gave Pacifica a thoughtful look. "I can't just let you go off on your own. I'll tag along to protect you-but just for a little while, okay? I'm still the head of the Royal Guard, after all. I can't let myself be seen with a human."
"Oh. Thanks…I guess?" Pacifica wasn't sure how to feel about this arrangement. After all, the fish girl HAD just tried to kill her.
"Now come on. Let's get a boat."
A/N: So, Pacifica and Wendy are friends now...kinda. At least Wendy isn't as hotheaded as Undyne XD Well, I hope you guys liked it. So...how about hitting that review button and giving my ego a boost, ay? ;) Happy Thanksgiving again!
