"how is she doing?" Sans inquired. "Frisk is sleeping, right?"

"YES, THE HUMAN IS CURRENTLY IN MY BED GETTING SOME WELL-DESERVED REST." Papyrus answered before looking down thoughtfully. "SANS, IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR HER?"

"I wish I knew, the kid's in bad shape and from what I can tell there isn't anything we can do." Sans admitted as Toriel walked into the room. "oh your majesty, is there anything we can do for you while you're here?"

"No, I'm alright but thank you. I am just concerned about Frisk." Toriel explained. "The poor child must be heartbroken."

"yeah, I just wish there was something we could do to help her feel better." Sans agreed before glancing up at the door to Papyrus's room.

"Frisk, are you awake?" Chara inquired. "Come on, you need to get up."

A younger Frisk just tried to pull the covers over her eyes only for Chara to pull them away again.

"Chara, I'm sleepy." Frisk complained. "Later."

"It can't be later; will you just trust me Frisk?" Chara asked. "You'll thank me when you see it."

Frisk opened her eyes and yawned before slowly sitting up. "Chara, it's still dark outside. We need to be sleeping now."

"Frisk I promise this is worth it, now hurry up we don't have a lot of time left and you need to get dressed." Chara instructed. "I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

Frisk just stared as Chara walked out of the room before relenting and sleepily putting on something to wear before going downstairs to see Chara sitting in the chair.

"What did I need to get up for so early Chara?" Frisk asked only for Chara to take her hand and walk out the front door.

"Just trust me, after what happened last night…" Chara started before pausing as she recalled the incident. "Anyway, there's something I really think you should see."

"Something I have to see, can't it…" Frisk started.

"No it can't wait." Chara interjected before taking Frisk's hand. "You were really upset last night and I think this might cheer you up."

With those words Chara and Frisk walked out of their aunt's house and went off down the street.

"Chara, where are we going?" Frisk asked again as she continued following her older sister through the snow towards the park they spent hours at to avoid going home. "It's too cold."

"I know it's cold Frisk, but trust me. I saw this before and I knew you'd love it." Chara explained as they reached the snow-covered park and she dusted off one of the benches and the two sisters sat down.

Frisk just took a deep breath and smiled. Chara was just trying to make her happy like usual, she was the greatest sister in the world and this was another thing she was doing for her. Those people who called her evil were wrong, Chara was the greatest person in the entire world.

"Chara, can you tell me about what mom and dad were like?" Frisk requested quietly. "I was so little when…"

Chara just looked at Frisk and nodded recalling that Frisk was only three when the accident occurred. "They were amazing, not like the others. Mom was always smiling and telling silly jokes to make you laugh. I can't even remember a time when you didn't start smiling and laughing when she was holding you. As for dad, he taught us about the important things in live, not hurting people and that we need to stay with each other no matter what."

"I miss them Chara, why do bad things have to happen?" Frisk asked tearfully. "Mom and dad were nice people."

"I wish I could tell you, but I just don't know Frisk." Chara admitted before pulling her younger sister into a tight hug. "There is one thing I do know, no matter what happens I'll always be right here with you, and even if something separates us I'll still be with you because I love you Frisk. Whatever it takes I promise I'll keep you safe, just like I always have."

"Chara…" Frisk whispered before noticing the sun was rising and the light hitting the snow on the tree branches was causing it to glow in a variety of different colors. "Wow, that's so pretty."

Chara just smiled looking at the rainbow of color in the trees. "So, was it worth getting up this early Frisk?"

"Yeah, you were right. This is something I would never want to miss." Frisk agreed. "Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." Chara replied with a smile.

"She's been asleep for hours, I think I should check on her." Toriel noted. "I can't help but feel this is partially my fault for not recognizing her sooner."

"NONSENSE YOUR MAJESTY, THERE WAS NO WAY YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE'RE ALL HERE TO HELP FRISK." Papyrus reassured her.

"that's right, what happened to Chara is terrible but right now we can make sure Frisk knows she has friends who are willing to help her no matter what." Sans added before looking down thoughtfully. "Paps, call Undyne. let her know what's going on."

"Undyne, the captain of the royal guard?" Toriel questioned. "Are you sure letting her know that a human is…"

"right now Frisk needs people who care about her, and despite everything Undyne will understand." Sans answered. "besides, at this point I have no idea what else to do. Undyne was the one who told me about Chara, so maybe she'll be able to help."

Papyrus just nodded as he walked to the phone.

Toriel just looked down sadly, she felt Frisk was strong enough to survive in the Underground and yet because of her actions she was hurt and there wasn't anything she could do to help her.

Suddenly the door to Papyrus's room opened and Frisk walked out with a sad look on her face as she walked down to the three monsters.

(Frisk has recalled a memory of her time with her older sister and is starting to decide to keep moving. Next chapter, Frisk will continue on her journey through the Underground with a new goal, and she will meet Undyne. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
