Arana: And finally, we are back.
Flowey: What took you so long?
Arana: Mostly video games… and lack of ideas.
Chara: Looks like someone was impatient for the story~!
Flowey: Hey! I can't feel remember!
Arana: But it is possible for you to regrow your soul.
Flowey: No it- wait what? It IS? Why did no one tell me this before!
Frisk: You never asked!
Arana: Anyways, on with the story!

Chapter 5- Lessons of the Save Point
"Now, my children," Toriel said, her eyes darting to and fro so she would not meet the others' eyes. "I have a difficult request of you."
And here she goes, Chara thought. She's gonna make us walk down this annoying hallway.
"But before I do," Toriel said, now meeting their eyes, and making Chara look at her with a small bit of shock. "Let me give you this." She gave Chara an old cell-phone. Which had been her's a long, long time ago when she was alive.
To her dismay, only Toriel's number was listed.
"This is so you can contact me, in case of emergency," Toriel said. "I must run some errands, and you three will have to make it to the end of the Ruins yourselves. I know this may seem hard, Frisk, but with Chara and Flowey, you'll be able to make it to the end."
"Mom," Chara said after sticking the phone in her inventory (which she still had no clue how it worked) and looking up. "Don't bother on asking if Frisk likes cinnamon or butterscotch. If she's anything like me, a cinnamon-butterscotch pie is best."
"Oh my," Toriel chuckled. "It seems you already figured out the surprise!"
"Eh, it's very easy to know what the surprise is when I've seen you do it for all of the other kids," Chara said. "And since we aren't staying long, in the Ruins at least, you should probably also pack some for healing after or during battles."
"That's some good thinking, Chara!" Frisk said with a smile.
"Will I get some pie?" Flowey asked, a questioning look on his face.
"Of course you will!" Chara laughed, noticing how the flower acted. "You're part of the family!"
Flowey then snorted, which somewhat confused Chara since he didn't have a nose.
"Still," Toriel said. "Since Chara seems to have known about what I usually asked to the other fallen children, I have decided to not do the test." She sighed. "Even I have grown tired of walking down this long hallway. I know we made it to try to ward off intruders, but those who live here are growing tired of it as well."
"Can we start now?" Flowey asked, impatient.
"Oh right, I shall go now," Toriel said.
In a minute, she was out of sight.
"I still have no clue how she does that," Chara said after a moment. "Come on, we must try to keep up." She then started to float as Frisk started down the long, long hallway.

"Oh hey, there's a save point over there," Chara whispered to Frisk and Flowey. "I'm gonna teach you how to use it, OK Frisk?"
Slowly Frisk nodded.
When they got onto the leaves, Chara took Flowey from Frisk's hands.
"OK, reach your hand towards the star," Chara instructed.
Frisk complied, and the Save Screen popped up.
This time, it had a message for the them.
"Playfully crinkling through the leaves fills you with determination," the screen read. Then, it switched to this, "File: Chara and Frisk, LV 1, Location: Ruins Entrance." At the bottom were the buttons Save, Reset, and Continue.
"OK," Chara said. "Whatever you do, do not press Reset."
"And why is that?" Frisk asked, obviously curious.
"Do you really want to end up back on my grave? With only Flowey, you, and I remembering what happened before you pressed that gosh be darn button?"
"Oh."
"OK, so Continue just exits the screen," Chara said. "But we want to Save, since we don't know when we are going to die."
"What?!"
"Yeah, these things help us go through the Underground without dying, so it's kind of necessary for us to Save whenever we come across one," Chara stated. "It helped me stop myself from repeating deadly stunts or getting into fights with monsters who were way too good at sending bullets at me. My total death count on my first save, before I tested out the Reset button, was about fifty-five deaths in the span of two years. My last one, about five."
"Is that why you would stop me from doing things sometimes?" Flowey asked suddenly. "Or declined to fight those bullies? Or even how gosh darn good you were at dodging when they forced you to fight?"
"You got it!" Chara said with a smile. "Now, Frisk, press Save…"

Arana: And that's the chapter!
Flowey: Why is this going so slow?
Chara: Oh shush you! (sprays with water guns)
Flowey: Hey! Where'd you even get that?!\
Chara: It was in my inventory…
Arana: OK, let's end it off here!
