DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM UNDERTALE

Chapter 3: Her desire and DETERMINATION

After the small reassurance that Frisk gave to Toriel, everyone dissolved into more general and happier topics. Sans and Toriel mostly driving Papyrus crazy with their duo act of terrible puns. After such they all watched TV, it had been the news and the repeat of the speech that Frisk had made. She was so nervous about it. On the screen she stood tall in a suit which many had complimented her that she looked quite dashing.

"As we currently are, Monsters and Humans have lived in the same city. At peace, with a minority of both sides still resisting our new way of life. I beg for those people to please…Give this a chance. We have all suffered enough tears, grieved for lost ones. We do not need any more bloodshed. In the next few years, the city will expand to allow more living space between Humans and Monsters. We are all united and must work together." Frisk took a breath and she felt her DETERMINATION skyrocket. "PLEASE. No more hatred. We are in this together." There was a pause before cheer roared out from the crowd.

As the news programme continued, everyone congratulated Frisk much to her embarrassment. She blushed brightly and shook her head, trying to play it off. She was never one to accept compliments without a small struggle.

"Nonsense my child! You did wonderfully. No need to act so modest." Toriel said with a soft smile while the others agreed with her words.

"S-She is right Frisk…We all s-saw how passionate you were about that speech." Alphys encouraged while Undyne nodded with her usual grin. "She's right kid! You said it with all of your heart! That's passion right there."

After all the praise, Frisk asked if she could talk to Alphys about something. The lizard monster smiled and agreed, walking with her to the garden. Frisk was happy to finally be able to talk to someone on what was troubling her.

"You said that a soul can't be shared when you were talking about your research…But…I thought I've seen it happen before…I mean, Flowey managed to pull it off so it can't be that impossible." Frisk rose a brow at her scientific friend for an answer.

"T-That isn't right Frisk. Flowey didn't SHARE the souls of the children. H-He simply took them and used them. SHARING, is a new concept and is almost impossible. An example of something similar, two lovers. An expression and description some give is that they can feel their souls 'Combining'. Both souls form one for a temporary period before becoming two once more. However, sharing requires a willing and strong host to give their soul to someone fully. When I mean strong…I mean VERY strong." Alphys explained in detail, with Frisk paying extra attention.

Frisk nodded at the conclusion of that explanation before her curiosity came up again and she turned to look at her clever friend once more. "What about splitting the soul?" When she heard the question, Alphys tensed before sighing softly.

"It is possible…but not a good way to…I-It's bad. Me and Sans once knew a monster who did that. The previous Royal Scientist…W. …He was brilliant. He had so many theorise and his work was something to behold." She took her glasses off and gave them a wipe before placing them back on and adjusting them. "One day…he did just as you said. Split his soul not once, but twice. Two new monsters were created as a result. It was amazing…However…Slowly he became corrupted before vanishing." She sighed and shook her head.

Frisk thought for a moment before thanking her friend on what she had explained, going inside to the rest of them. Undyne grinned as she picked up her reptilian girlfriend and kissed her cheek. Alphys blushed brightly. "U-U-Undyne! W-What are you doing?!" She all but squeaked. They all laughed and chuckled before Toriel looked at the clock and gasped. "Oh my…time flies…" Soon they were all walking towards their cars.

"Thanks again for having us. We Goat-a do this again." Sans grinned as he punned. Frisk shook her head and sighed as she got in Papyruses car. The younger brother yelling at Sans to stop while Toriel giggled softly, Asgore chuckled with a rumble. Undyne walked to her vehicle along with Alphys and said their goodbyes before driving off.

"Bye you two, I hope to see you soon." Frisk said to the two and smiled at the two of them. She then grinned evilly and the two Dreemurrs sweatdropped. "Try not Bone-dry him…" Toriel gasped in shock at the implications while Asgore blushed so brightly. Sans laughed with his ribs straining ever so slightly. Papyrus apologised furiously for the twos actions before they drove off quickly. What they didn't see was Toriel grabbing Asgores hand and leading him inside…rather quickly.

Driving back seemed to take forever to get back to the brothers' home. Frisk looked over to Mount Ebott, its shadow cast over the land by the sun behind it. 'Asriel…I hope you are still there…Wait for me…' She thought. Her soul filled with DETERMINATION. Her eyes flashed with a familiar light.

Finally arriving at the house, they walked in going separate ways. Sans went instantly to the couch and turned the TV on. Instantly going to sleep and Papyrus shook his head.

"Such a lazy bag of bones! Why can't-?! Nyaaaaah!" The taller skeleton stomped towards the kitchen to probably make some spaghetti. Frisk smiled at the two before going upstairs to her room. Shutting the door slowly before it clicked. It was now and never. Preparation time.

The first thing she did was grab her pink backpack from the wardrobe in her room. She would go down when they were both sleeping to stock up on snacks just in case she needed them. For now, she got the clothes she wanted to take. A blue striped jumper with some trousers along with a hoodie to make sure she would not freeze in Snowdin. When Hotlands came up then she would take the hoodie off. Boots were another good idea for the occasion.

For the last few hours, Frisk spent time with Papyrus and Sans together. They watched Mettatons performance in the stadium for concerts and Frisk sang along with his songs, annoying Sans for once while his brother smiled and watched.

"You have to admit Sans, If Frisk wasn't an ambassador she would make a good singer." Frisk blushed at the praise and Sans nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she would…but she is and she is singing Mettabutts songs…" He said deadpanned.

After a bit more TV and laughter, Papyrus said he was going up to his room to sleep and surprisingly, Sans did the same thing. Once Frisk was sure that the two brothers were asleep she made her move. Now wearing her travel clothes that she had put out earlier and with the backpack on her back, she moved quietly out of her room and down the stairs. Living with the brothers had helped her learn how to be quiet at night so she was sure the two of them would be asleep. To the kitchen, she started to stock up on some treats to get her through hunger. When she was done, Frisk zipped up her back and got moving towards the front door only to stop and stare.

Sans stood in front of the door like a guard, his sockets closed. It was obvious he was awake, his skeleton grin was a straight line, meaning he was disappointed.

"Kid…What you doing up? With your cool gear and bag?" He said calmly while Frisk stood back slightly. "Sans…Please, you know that I have to do this…" She mumbled softly. It was then that Sans eyes opened to reveal the Cyan eye.

"I made a promise to someone…That I'd protect you…" He raised his hand which glowed blue. Frisk was worried her uncle would freeze her in place. He then walked slowly towards her and grabbed her hand which surprised her.

The skeleton grinned once more. "Why walk? I know a shortcut…" Both of them disappeared.
