Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Neb and Sven.

Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Thank you guys so much for being there for me. Things are calming down, I've come to closure (kind of), and I did a few things so that my best friend and I are now on decent enough terms. I really do appreciate all of you and I'm happy to report that I managed to ignore the character in my head long enough to write this. Again, thanks to all of you who continue to support me. :)

KCL: Hey, things might not work out, but if they do, yay for you! Really, talking to you through reviews is fine for me. An account would be an extra bonus. And it's fine, really. I kind of needed your ditsy personality right then. Made me smile. :)

Rainbow Swirl: Ok, I'm not sure I understand this twin thing. You are the original Rainbow Swirl, right? And to answer your question, the original one haunting me was Flowey the Flower. It's not Flowey anymore, but he's really the only one worth mentioning.

Apple Cider: Thanks… I think.

Prompt 99: Determination

"Your soul is red, you know," Neb said randomly one day. He sitting in the living room in his chair, a laptop sitting on his lap. He had on a pair of headphones and he seemed to be scowling. Kitty was sitting in a chair across from him, reading a book entitled 101 Ways Neb Can Find a Reason to Interrupt Someone. Kitty put the book down and looked at Neb curiously. Her stomach was huge, meaning that the baby wasn't that far away from being born.

"How do you know?" Kitty asked him.

Neb shrugged as he scowled harder at his laptop. "Just something I've been able to see lately," he said. "Everyone's soul matches a different color. Each color has a defining trait." Neb screamed abruptly. " #$%it! Quit #$% killing me Mettaton! No one cares about you! NO ONE CARES!"

Kitty raised an eyebrow. "What are you playing?" Kitty asked him.

"Something where timelines are a thing and a bit of a cheesepuff," Neb grumbled. "Anyway, what was I talking about when Mettaton crudely interrupted?"

"The colors of our souls," Kitty reminded. She paused for a moment. "What about Alistair? What color is his soul?"

"Orange," Neb said instantly. "He's brave. Every time you're in trouble, he goes in head first and asks me annoying questions later. Even when he's the one in trouble, he's brave enough to try to get himself out of it. Last I checked, he wanted to go straight into your mind to save you, didn't bother with details."

Kitty smiled. "Sounds a lot like Alistair," she giggled. "How about Maddie?"

"Give me a tough one," Neb said flatly. "Her's is blue, integrity. She always remains herself, even when things get rough. I may find it irritating, but she continues to be herself, and really… that's why she's my best friend. When Dark Kitty threatened the kill her, she still remained herself."

Kitty bit her lip. "Can you not remind me of Dark Kitty?" Kitty asked him.

"It's not a matter of me reminding you," Neb said. "It's a matter of me not letting you forget. She's still there, buried deep inside of your subconscious. You forget her, she owns you. Now, who's next on your list?"

"My brother," Kitty said, trying to trick Neb.

"Hunter. Ah, yes," Neb said, smirking slightly, making Kitty pout. "Green. He represents kindness. He might be a mighty and be able to save people by being tough… but all he cares about is the safety of others. He took you under his wing after your suicide attempt and he generally looked out for your welfare the entire time."

Kitty smiled a small smile. "Good old Hunter," she said to him. Kitty thought for a few moments. "What about Sven? He's kind of… broken. I know that sounds terrible, but…"

"Purple," Neb said, interrupting her. "I envy his color, actually. He has perseverance. He's been through more than most anyone else. Thing is, he's still here. He could have given up a long time ago, but he's still made it through all the things that hinder him. He's suffered more than anyone I know. The only one who might know a fraction of his suffering is Maddie. But he keeps going, persevering. I admire that boy… even if his stuttering annoys the cheese out of me."

Kitty smiled at Neb. "You really did save him, didn't you?" Kitty asked him.

"No. Maddie's the one who spared Sven," Neb said, his voice growing quiet. "But none of that Kitty. Now then, Lizzie, I guess?"

"Sure," Kitty shrugged.

"Cyan. Kind of like Sven's hair," Neb said. "Patience. She waited for me for over two years to come back. She waited after my death to come to closure, not wanting to let me go. Lizzie will wait, Kitty. She might hate it. She might be torn by it. But she'll wait. And she'll never let go."

Kitty bit her lip. "And that's why it took her so long to forgive me, huh?" Kitty asked him.

"Pretty much," Neb shrugged. "Lizzie holds a grudge. But she'll move on eventually. She always does."

Kitty nodded to Neb and thought for a moment. "Wait… I don't think you ever talked about my soul. It's red… but what's it mean?"

Neb gave Kitty a small smile. "Determination," Neb said. "You can't give up. You won't give up. You'll always come back and kick butt. And that, Kitty… is why I keep an eye on you all the time. Is because sometimes, you need to give up. I'm there to help you do that."

Neb stood up, closing the laptop and removing the headphones. "Well then, that's my word count out of the way," he said. "Nice talk Kitty. See you at dinner. I have to go take a nap by a dark tree."

Before Neb left the room, Kitty said, "Wait. You didn't say anything about your soul," Kitty said.

Neb chuckled right as he left. "Who said I had one?" he called from the door. "But if I had to pick any color… yellow. There's a lot of things that upset the balance not only in this world, but the other ones as well."

Kitty heard the door open. "It's my job to exact the correct justice needed to return the world to normal. Whether that's saving someone I don't know or care about… or killing someone I love. I'm in charge of making sure justice is met. Makes sense why I don't have a soul. I'd be too much of an emotional wreck. Later Kitty." The door shut.

BN: Kind of my way of getting Undertale out of me. I wanted to go over each soul of a main character in this fic and kind of show Kitty that she has true friends who have strengths, just like herself. I feel as though I easily matched each color with someone, but if you disagree with some of these, feel free to.

The major thing I wanted to explain in this one, however, is Neb. Remember, he's more than just the author. He retains (most) of his memories of everything. If you refer to Her Number, he entered one version of many to save Lizzie. He could have easily entered into another timeline and saved that Lizzie, but he chose this one. He still remembers (most of)the other EAH time lines though. Each universe of EAH he's in, it's his job to set things on the right path. If Neb was limited to a soul, then he would feel too much, having the memories ultimately break him. I feel this is better explained by me than by Neb himself, simply because Neb doesn't talk about that kind of thing.

There's a reason for that too. There are timelines where Lizzie becomes a mass murderer. I'm sure there's a story somewhere out there like that, maybe on FF, maybe elsewhere. Neb's job is to go into that timeline and take care of it, one way or another. Makes sense why he's heartless sometimes, huh? If he cares, it'll bite him in the butt when he's forced to do something extreme. Just something curious I'd thought I'd explain, since I don't really have Neb explain it anywhere else.

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!
