Hello folks! Arana here! And with a new chapter for Basket of Kindness!
Anyways, on to the reviews!
Yo: "barely gas any plot and interest" What the heck does that mean? Why is the word 'gas' in the middle of this sentence? Were you meaning 'has'?
SleepyMangaHead: That would be a great idea!
And now, if you wish to meet me on Roblox, (if you go on it) look for fannadragonfox. This is what I go by.

Chapter 4- I am Human
The next day, after school, Frisk trudged down the road to Snowdin. Passing Sans, who looked on with a sense of tension, she finally noticed how she was not joined by MK by now. Usually he would meet her at Sans's post.
Was the tension she was feeling part of why he was not here?
Flowey, too, seemed to feel the tension. After yesterday's events, he did not really want Frisk to tell the folks of Snowdin her true identity. But then, it had been years since the last human had fallen, and they had not even made it past Toriel.
Frisk stopped at a guard post. "Hey Doggo," she greeted.
The dog, who was smoking a dog treat, jumped. "O-Oh hi!" he laughed awkwardly. "Couldn't see you moving there."
"You going to be at the town meeting?" Frisk asked, halfheartedly.
"Of course," Doggo said slowly. "The whole dog team is. Greater Dog says he doesn't really want to though, his armor is being repaired."
"How'd he break it this time?"
"He fell off the edge of the ice puzzle," Doggo chuckled. "Without his claws, he can't really steady himself on that thing."
Frisk chuckled as well. She remembered her own experience with that puzzle. She got it down in two tries, the first having her fall off it.
"I'll see you at the town meeting," Frisk said, starting to walk away.
"See you there too!" Doggo called after her.

"Frisk!" MK called out, running~and tripping, but managing to get up quickly~over to her. Marcus and Snowdrake behind him. "The meeting's gonna start soon! Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I have to," Frisk said. "The townsfolk need to know who has been helping them these past few weeks. Plus, I don't really like lying."
"She only keeps a few things hidden," Flowey snorted with a roll of his eyes. "One of them is best kept secret, and the others concern her past."
"Fl-Flowey!" Frisk said, her eyes fluttering open for a mere second or two, revealing ruby red eyes underneath.
Flowey paused, remembering a ruby eyed girl from back when he was Asriel. Were they related in a way?
"Well, if you don't want to tell us those secrets," Snowdrake said. "we won't press you. That wouldn't be nice."
Marcus nodded. "We better go over to where Papyrus asked us to be," he said slowly. "I know he's kinder now, but I don't really want him angry with us."
The group agreed.

Alphys stared at her monitor, watching as the kids ran up to Papyrus. Next to her, Undyne scoffed.
"I don't get why he didn't kill the human when he first saw her," Undyne growled.
Alphys paused, remembering the weird readings she had picked up on her determination monitor, when the human was making her way to Snowdin. Every now and then, the readings would spike, but then go down for a while before spiking once more. Had the power of determination been used during those spikes to keep the human alive? No, they were when the human was seemingly waking from a daze in certain spots where sparkling starS, special monsters that only responded to those with high determination levels, were.
"Maybe he was astounded by the human's abilities to get through his puzzles," Alphys spat out, instead of 'I bet the human was using her determination to get pass him.' "And he just wanted to test her with harder puzzles."
"Highly unlikely," Undyne spat. "The last human got killed almost as soon as Papyrus spotted it. Didn't even managed to get to the first puzzle."
"You never know when it comes to this human," Alphys sighed.
"Darlings!" called a voice. "Are you two still watching the human?"
The two looked over to a monster~actually, two monsters, ghosts, who shared a host body, a robot. His top arms were crossed, while his bottom were… flapping around?
"Blookie… please stop…" the robot sighed.
They were still getting used to sharing the robot body.
The robot sped over to the two monster, and looked at the monitor. "I've seen her before!" hissed a second voice from the robot. "In the Ruins. She was… nice." "Blookie, please, we've got to get her soul so we can break the barrier." "Can you wait for her to get here to Hotland at least?" "You know as well as I that she won't make it pass Undyne." The second voice was quiet.
"Can you two stop arguing already?" Undyne growled.
The robot was silent.

"RESIDENTS OF SNOWDIN," Papyrus said boldly, Frisk at his side. "I HAVE CALLED THIS MEETING TO ALERT YOU TO SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT ALERTED THESE PAST WEEKS DUE TO IT NOT NEEDING TO BE. BUT NOW, FRISK HERE IS GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD, NOW." He nodded to Frisk, who hesitantly took the mic.
"Um, as you all know, I've been here for the past few weeks," Frisk said slowly. "But, I've keep on thing secret until now for my safety until I knew all of you would take it without trying to kill me." She took a deep breath. "I'm the human who Papyrus failed at killing. I've been showing you true kindness because I feel sorry for you. You were trapped down here, although I've heard it was mainly your king's fault for going to war with my kind… which I still don't get why he did…"
The townsfolk were quiet. Then, MK ran onto the stage. "Yo!" he called. "Frisk is a good person! She's shown us what it's like to feel lowercase love! She's giving us a better future!"
Marcus ran onto the stage too. "She's helped me get better relationships with my family!" he cried. "She's helped my aunt's business grow!"
Snowdrake ran up on stage as well. "She's shown me that joking is a good thing!" he said. "She's been a great friend! I don't care what you other kids call us, 'cause friendship is not weak! Helping others isn't weak either!"
Sans walked up on stage. "she's helped me and paps get to know each other better," he said lazily. "we don't fight as often now. plus, she is determined to change the rule of 'kill or be killed'. i'm rooting for ya, kid."
Then, the Annoying Dog trotted onto the stage, and then jumped on Frisk's head. "Woof!" he barked.
"Woof!" barked Greater Dog from the crowd.
"He says that he trusts her!" called Doggo. "And to say the truth, I do too!"
"She's helped my business," the bunny shop keeper called. "She can keep her part-time job!"
One by one, the townsfolk stood up, saying what Frisk had helped them with. Be it getting through a tough time, or helping repair a broken romance with a few simple was all that were needs, Frisk had somehow helped the entire town.
Frisk smiled. Then paused as a twinkling star flew up to her~the one from in front of the inn! It gave out a few… noises… and floated in front of Frisk.
Frisk realized that it must have come towards her strong feeling of determination. She smiled, and reached her hand out, a glow washing over her and those on stage.
"Hearing that the townsfolk of Snowdin will stand behind you, fills you with determination," read the voice of a young girl. "Fill saved."
The star then went back to the inn, getting awed looks from the townsfolk.
"What was that?" MK asked, as Frisk hadn't really done that in front of the group.
"I'll… explain later," Frisk said with a smile.
The kids looked at her in awe, as they had never seen one of those kinds of monsters interact, let alone seek out, someone. No one had a name for them either.
Now, Frisk looked towards the blue rocks of what she presumed was Waterfall. "I'm going there next," she said, pointing. "Everyone, wish me luck!"
