Frisk continued walking through the area of the Underground called Waterfall as she thought of what Undyne had told her. 'One soul, my soul and they'll all be free. I know I'm being selfish making them wait for so long to be free but… I just have to see King Asgore, I have to know what Chara's life was like down here, and why she had to die.'
As she walked down the path Frisk came up to that same young monster, a red fish monster standing next to a flower, and another sentry station.
"Huh, oh hey. Did you sneak out to see Undyne too?" the young monster inquired eagerly. "She's really cool, isn't she?"
"She's a little scary, but she really cares about helping people so I would say yeah." Frisk answered before turning to the flower. "What's that?"
"You don't know, it's an Echo Flower." the young monster answered before walking up to it. "Watch, you say something near the flower. Like, Undyne is awesome."
Frisk watched curiously before the flower repeated exactly what the young monster said in his voice. "Wow."
"Yup, hey if you're going to see Undyne why don't we both go together?" the young monster suggested only for Frisk to shake her head sadly.
"I appreciate the offer but I think I should go on my own." Frisk explained. "I just want to go slowly, if we bump into each other it could be a nice surprise."
The young monster nodded in understanding. "Yeah, you're right. See you."
With those words the young monster ran off.
'They all deserve to be free, once I see the king I'll let him take my soul. They deserve it more than I do.' Frisk thought sadly before following the path the young monster took only for a monster resembling a tub full or water approached her and engaged her in a fight.
"Green means clean." the monster stated before launching large drops of water towards Frisk with one of them being green.
'Green means clean so does that mean I should let it hit me?' Frisk thought before moving to let the green drop of water hit her and the monster looked pleased. "Thank you, I really appreciate that."
The monster smiled before walking off leaving Frisk alone again as she sighed and continued through Waterfall passing what she guessed was the first of several waterfalls the area was named after only to find another Echo Flower.
"I swear, I saw something behind the waterfall." the Echo Flower repeated causing Frisk to pause before deciding against checking as she went back and continued through Waterfall and found an extremely tall patch of grass where the young monster appeared.
"Oh it's you." the young monster smiled. "Have you seen Undyne yet?"
"Actually, I saw her earlier but…" Frisk started only for the young monster to look at her in excitement.
"You saw Undyne, isn't she incredible?" the young monster inquired excitedly. "Everybody wants to be just like her."
"She was definitely… inspirational." Frisk admitted. 'I just hope she lets me see the king before she takes my soul. These monsters need it more than I do.'
"Come on, if we're lucky maybe we can catch up to her." the young monster mentioned before running off only to fall on his face before getting up and running ahead.
"Lucky wouldn't be the word I would use, well lucky if Undyne doesn't try and kill me first but I hope she decides it's worth letting me see King Asgore." Frisk whispered to herself before continuing along the path only to find four seeds near each other.
"Bridge Seeds, when four are aligned they bloom." she read on a nearby sign before deciding to go over and float the seeds one by one across the water only for them to bloom into a bridge when she lined them all up.
"This really is an incredible place; I hope you were happy here sis." Frisk whispered as she continued through Waterfall.

"SANS, THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION ISN'T THERE?" Papyrus asked suddenly. "THE HUMAN FRISK IS SO KIND, AND SHE'S GOING TO THROW AWAY HER SOUL TO FREE US BUT… I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL WE NEED TO STOP HER."
"you have a point Papyrus, as much as we need that soul Frisk is the kind of human you can only ever dream exists. there just isn't any other way for us to gain our freedom, Undyne said it herself, we need seven and Frisk is it." Sans replied. "besides, the kid is heartbroken. the one person she considered family on the surface and she finds out she's dead."
"EVEN SO, WE CANNOT ALLOW HER TO JUST WALK STRAIGHT TO HER OWN DEATH. UNDYNE WILL UNDERSTAND IF SHE GETS THE CHANCE TO KNOW FRISK." Papyrus pointed out. "PERHAPS I CAN SUGGEST THAT TO UNDYNE, THE TWO OF THEM SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER BEFORE FRISK MEETS THE KING AND TRIES…"
"I appreciate what you're trying to do Papyrus, I truly do." Toriel interjected. "But Frisk has made up her mind, spending time with Undyne, with any of us will only make this choice more painful for her. It would be best if we stayed."
"tibia honest your majesty, I kind of agree with Paps on this one." Sans mentioned. "right now Frisk feels like she's lost the only person that cared about her, I don't know if having her spend time with any of us will help in the long run, but at the very least she deserves to know we care enough to not leave her on her own when she sees the king."
Toriel looked at Sans and Papyrus sadly before smiling.
"You're both right, we can't make Frisk's choice for her but the least we can do is be there for her when she does make that choice." Toriel smiled sadly. "We aren't her family, but we are her friends."
"EXACTLY, WE WILL SUPPORT OUR FRIEND IN WHATEVER DECISION SHE DECIDES TO MAKE." Papyrus declared confidently.
(Frisk is traveling through Waterfall, while Sans, Papyrus, and Toriel have decided to make sure they're with Frisk when she makes her final decision on what to do when she meets King Asgore. Next chapter Frisk will continue through Waterfall and meet one of the other residents of the Underground. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
