Chapter 12: The memories

(Lucy's P.O.V)

I slowly moved my head away from Lucas' chest and looked above us. Seeing the pretty little hearts surprised me, and I had a small feeling Sans was a part of what just happened. But what surprised me even more was seeing big bro's soul, it was split with two different colors. Like it had two different personalities which I couldn't be so sure about what it was. But I wanted to find that out, so I looked up and Lucas with a sad expression. I usually did that when I wanted to get things my way, and it worked surprisingly well on my friends and at times my parents. But on him, it wasn't that easy, since he would tell me things no matter what. So, I was hoping it worked this time on him though.

"Big bro? What is that about?" I said as I looked at him and pointed at the heart floating in the air. He looked down at me and I could in his eyes that he knew something about it, but he didn't want to tell me about it.

"I'm not so sure Sis. I'm just as confused as you are" He told me as he gently and carefully grabbed his soul and looked at it. It being two colored was something that I thought was really cool, and looking at my soul made me curious of why I had only one color, but he had two. We both looked towards Sans, who had just commented on these souls. He had his eyes stuck at the soul, which scared me, so I grabbed my soul quickly, feeling a small ticklish feeling in my body as I grabbed it and held it close, not knowing how to put it back in. Sans let out a small chuckle as we put our souls back.

"Heh, well, I'm no expert at souls, but Alphys may know how those souls of yours are come too, and the traits you two have." Sans said, but his voice sounded like he was hiding something. "But you got to get to Hotland first, where she works in her lab. She's the royal scientist for the king here in the underground, though she mostly works for herself." I carefully looked at my soul again, a bit scared of what was going to happen it, but seeing that Lucas looked calm about this all made me feel better. I looked up at him and smiled.

"W-what you say big bro? Should we go visit Alphys?!" I asked him as I slowly felt my soul go back into my body, making me giggles since it felt that it tickled me. He looked at me, smiled and nodded.

"Sure Lil sis. It might help us get them free" He whispered to me, nodding his head. "So where do we need to go Sans? Something tells me we need to leave this town." I grabbed my plate and kept eating the spaghetti that me and Papyrus made. It was really good, so I was enjoying eating it. Lucas placed me back down in my seat, stood up and walked to the window, just looking outside. Wonder what he is looking at.

"Yeah, just pass this house and walk towards waterfall, and you'll reach Hotland" Sans said, as he stood up and looked at papyrus. "Maybe you could hang out with Undyne?" Papyrus lit up and stood up, looking at me excitedly. I could tell that it was something he really wanted to do, but something seemed wrong, I just couldn't put my finger on what it was.

"THAT'S AN AWESOME IDEA SANS! WE COULD ALL BE THE BEST OF FRIENDS!" Papyrus said to us and walked over to Lucas. "SHE HELPS ME TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD! I HAVE TO MEET HER TOO NOW! LET'S GO!" He grabbed big bro's arm and just ran outside, dragging big bro with him while he tried to keep balance. I laughed softly and looked at Sans who was quietly chuckling to himself, stood up and walked upstairs, which I could see he walked into a room and closed the door after him. I smiled and walked outside, following the path which Pap was leading big bro, and saw that he had gotten up, and the two of them was walking beside each other. Letting out a small laugh, I ran towards them and just jumped onto Lucas' back, clinging my arms around him.

"Aww! You had to wait on me big bro!" I said as I nuzzled my head against his neck, feeling his arms holding my legs as he untenably gave me a piggyback ride. In the distance, I could see Papyrus sprinting away from us, which made us lose sight of him because of this thick white fog that started to surround us. I moved my head over Lucas' neck and looked in front of us, but all I could see was white fog and snow that covered our tracks. Papyrus' figure was nowhere to see, no matter how hard we looked for him. The white fog and the snow fogged my vision, so I closed my eyes and buried my face into Lucas' neck.

"Damn, I can't see anything sis. We just got to walk" He told me as he kept walking through the fog. The coldness and the breeze of the wind flew through my hair and I felt it tickle the back of my neck as I let out a soft giggle. I slowly lifted my head and looked over at Lucas, seeing that his face was filled with snow, the same was his brown hair, which now had small white snowflakes on top of his head.

"Hihi, big bro! You are a snowman" I told him as I jumped off his back and looked up at him, giggling. He looked down at me and smiled, ruffling my hair and I could see snowflakes falling from my head too. "And so are you sis" He told me as he ruffled his own hair and started to walk away from the snow. Looking ahead of us, I saw lots of rocks, a waterfall and a river. I smiled and ran over to it, stopping right by the river and looked around. In the distance, I could see a blue flower, who had small little light bugs around it.

"Big bro? What's that?" I asked him as I followed the path towards the flower. It was just a simple blue flower standing all by itself, and beside it was something that seemed like a sentry station that we saw earlier, but no one was around it. I gently brushed my finger over it and an echo like voice suddenly speaking out from it. "Never trust a flower…That's one of the constants in this world" A low voice said coming out from the flower, then it was just silent right after it. Lucas came walking up beside me and looked at the flower too, while I tilted my head to the side, confused on what I just listened to.

"Seems they do repeat the last thing they heard." He said as he brushed his finger over the flower, and then another voice came from it. "Seems they do repeat the last thing they heard". I let out a soft giggle as I looked back at him, smiling happily because of what I just heard.

"Come on big bro! Let's go and see where it all leads!" I said as I grabbed his hand and started to lead us through the waterfall. He laughed quietly behind me and walked up beside me, and then we started to walk forward, away from the first echo flower we met. Looking at my surroundings, it wasn't much to find here really, but it was calm and quiet, a bit of how I liked it back home. Home, that was a place I was starting to miss now.

"Lucy, hold on a bit, I remember something now" Lucas said as he looked at a waterfall we were just walking by, let go of my hand and ran into the waterfall. I tilted my head and ran after him, seeing that it was a small cave behind the waterfall. It wasn't much in it, just some small light bugs and what looked to be an old pink ballerina tutu just laying on the ground. "So I was right huh" I tilted my head up towards him as he carefully picked up the tutu and inspected it.

"Big bro? What is that doing here?" I asked him as I moved the bandana I had been wearing since we left Snowdin from around my head and held it in my hand as he walked up to me and held the tutu in front of me, hinting towards that he wanted me to wear it. "Hihi, silly bro" I took it from his hands, laid it down on the ground and stepped in the middle of it. I carefully placed it around my waist, brushed the dust that was on it and looked down at it, giggling.

"It suits you really well little sis" He said as he sat down by the wall close to the waterfall, the water falling down beside him as he carefully placed his hand under it. I smiled and walked up to him, noticing him being in deep thoughts as he was slowly closing his eyes. I looked around us, noticing that this cave also had some small shining rocks in the wall, which gave me a good idea.

"Hey big bro?" I said out, noticing his eyes slowly opening themselves again. I smiled and did a little curtsey. "It's been so long, what about a little dance?" Looking at him, I could see his eyes open fully and a genuine smile appear on his face. He slowly stood up from the ground, walked up to me and did a small bow.

"That would be nice lil sis." He said as he stretched out his hand, waiting for mine. I smiled back, took his hand and stepped closed to where he was. I carefully placed his other hand around my back, while I placed mine on his waist, since I couldn't reach fully up to his back. He smiled and looked into my eyes, as I looked into his and we started to slowly dance around the ground, feeling the little breeze coming from the waterfall hit me on the side. It had been a while since he and I did this, since last time we did it, we sneaked out from our house so he and I could do it in secret, preparing for a wedding we were going to go to. He was 13 and I was 9 at that time, but neither of us was so popular in our school, and neither of the families who was going to get married had children at our age. So we snuck out and prepared ourselves for it. When the wedding day came, the bride of the wedding couple noticed my shyness and asked me if I wanted to dance with someone. I pointed at my big brother at that time, and she asked my why him, since he was family. I told her it was because he was the only one I trusted to dance with, which earned me a soft smile from the bride. She called Lucas over so I could ask him for a dance, and she put a rose behind my ear. From that day on, he always called me, his little rose. It was one of the happiest memories to me, that I would never forget.

I carefully leaned closer against his chest as we kept dancing around the ground, just the two of us. I let out a soft giggle and a quiet yawn as we carefully stopped dancing around and just held each other close. He pulled me away from his chest, gave me a slow spin and dipped me down, holding me just above the cold ground.

"Hihi, you were always a big teaser Lucas" I told him with a faint blush in my cheeks. He always did this to me, because I always blushed at this feeling of happiness and joy inside me.

"That I know, thanks for telling me it again, my little rose" He said as he carefully dragged me back up and held me close. "Now tell me, what do you want to do?" I looked at him with curiosity, as I tried to joke around it.

"Right now I want to sleep" I said, smiling half heartily, trying so go around it. But one simple look at him, and I could tell that is not what he wanted to hear. "i…want to free them all. Help them to the surface and save as many as we can. They all deserve a second chance right big bro?" I looked at him again, and his left eyes suddenly had a small glint of redness in it, before it disappeared as quick as it came. He smiled weakly and looked down at me, slowly sitting down on the ground and placed me on his lap. I buried my face closer to his chest and held around him.

"Then we will do our best to save them all, heck, even Flowey. He too deserves a second chance." He said and mumbled something else, but I felt the tiredness come over my body, so I let it be. I yawned once more and carefully closed my eyes. "Hehe, get a bit of sleep now sis. We are safe here, and I'm sure Papyrus will keep Undyne busy" I let out a soft giggle and nodded my head, feeling his hand being placed around my body.

"Okay big bro! Night!" I said to him with a little bit of joy, as I kept my eyes closed and slowly drifted to sleep. I heard him saying night too, before sleep got the best of me, and I got sent into the land of dreams.

(? P.O.V)

I just can't believe it, how can they be so happy and relaxed, when the entire underground despite them. How can they keep on living like this, when they only got once chance at this? They have been lucky so far, but I know from experiences, that it won't end well. I won't give up! I will get the brother to fall into genocide…but do I actually want it now? He seems so nice, he even laughed and keeps trying to talk to me, even though I only gave him nightmares and trouble ever since I accompanied him. So why is he so nice to me? And why do I get the feeling of…I don't know what it is. But it makes me feel different, not as bad as before, more like a happier side. He seems to like me, but I don't like him back! He's just an idiot…but really sweet. I'm a bit jealous of the sister, I wish I could learn more from their past and be more around him like that. N-no no, stop thinking that now. Heh, never mind. Hehe, oh well…time to sneak into his mind again! =)
