It's been a few days since Chara defended me at school, needless to say Mom had to suspend her for 2 weeks, she said just because Chara was her daughter, did not mean she could give her special treatment, however she did thank her for defending me from the bullies, who were given detention for a whole month and have lunch in the detention hall. Asriel and I are walking home from school with Flowey in Asriel's hand "Boy Professor McPherson sure did give us a lot of science homework eh Frisk?" I nod and Flowey groans "That guy needs to get a girlfriend or something, all he does is mope about his love life to me since 'somebody' puts me on his desk during class" I snicker "It's not my fault he enjoys talking to you" "Yeah yeah yeah, how bout you just play matchmaker and hook him up with a date " "That sounds like a great idea...If Mom hadn't told us not to mess with the teachers" I nod as we walk inside to find Sans and Papy playing Uno with Chara "And...I win" "Ah man! That's the tenth time in a row!" "I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT SANS" Asriel sets Flowey down on the coffee table and him and I do our homework together while they play a couple more rounds of Uno.
After finishing our homework Asriel and I go outside for a bit "Hey Frisk, can I ask you about something?" I nod "Yeah sure Asriel, what is it?" "Are...You in love with Chara?" I freeze for a second, is it that obvious?! I think I go pale "I...Uh...Is it that obvious?" Asriel laughs "No, not really, I just had a hunch that you did, the way you always like to hang out with her, you blush when she's nice to you,why don't you just tell her Frisk?" I turn from him, if only it were that easy, I've been contemplating about confessing to Chara for a while, I wanted to flat out say it after the "Date" we had at Mettaton's concert, but even with all the Determination I can cope up, I never do it,I get scared and just ask her how she is, I even tried to tell her when I was for sure my Determination was at it's max...and I still couldn't do it "I-I could help Frisk, you could practice on me if you want" I turn back and smile "Thanks Asriel, but...It just wouldn't feel right, I've tried before but I need it to be special. I want to tell her at the right moment and time how I feel." Asriel nods "Well then, we'll just have to make that moment happen!" "Wh-what do you mean?" Asriel laughs "I mean you should ask Chara out to dinner and to see the Autumn fireworks Frisk, then you should confess to her as the fireworks go off, that would be a special moment, right?" I think about it for a second in my head, me and Chara on top of the hill near our house waiting for the fireworks to go off, then right before they do, I lay my hand on Chara's and tell her how I feel...It's perfect! "I love it Asriel! You're the best!" I hug him and run back inside to find Sans and Papy gone and Chara on her school laptop (Which surprisingly, they did not take away from her when she got suspended), I sit down next to her and she over to me "Oh hey Frisk, what's up?" I'm sure for a fact my face is pure red "Chara..Would you like to go to the Fireworks show with me tonight?" Chara looks at me confused but smiles "Sure, sounds like fun, but only if we grab something to eat. I wanna try this new restaurant that opened up down the block that Alphys told me is amazing!" I smile and nod "It's a date then...NOT LIKE THAT I JUST MEAN-" I'm cut off to Chara's laughter "I know what you mean Frisk, don't worry" I smile and see Asriel giving me a thumbs up from outside.
Going into my room with Flowey, I set him on his little perch near the window and change into the best clothes I have, nice white dress shirt with a black coat and nice black khakis "What do you think Flowey?" He smiles "Looks great Frisk, hey this might sound wrong coming from me, but you should give Chara a flower on the date...just no buttercups! Not after what-...Eh, you already know why anyways" I nod, knowing how Chara killed herself by eating buttercups, which are very poisonous, I heard the audio from the tapes Alphys had in the True Lab, I still remember every word said in the ones Asriel recorded. I change back into my signature look and place my date outfit on top of my dresser neatly folded and text Alphys -Hey Alphys, Chara wants to go to this new restaurant you told her about, where exactly is it?- -Oh, she must mean Temstaurant- I read the name...a restaurant run by Temmies? I remember those cute adorable monsters and there weird way of speech "HOI, I'M TEMMIE" Just remembering that makes me laugh, and picturing a whole restaurant run by them make me laugh even harder -Is it run by the Temmies?- -Well, the owner is a Temmie, this one is surprisingly smart, they must've went to college- I almost drop my phone reading that "TEM NEED MUNNY FOR COLLEG" It can't be that same Temmie that ran the Tem Shop, it just can't be...That one Temmie, who I payed for them to go to college, opened a restaurant, and it's a huge success. I send Alphys a thanks and walk into the bathroom to take a shower
After a nice shower, I get dressed up in my date clothes and wait for Chara to be ready, a couple mintues later she comes out in a green dress with a yellow stripe, Mom bought her that saying it reminded her of the sweater Chara outgrew "Wow Frisk, you sure look all fancy for this" I blush a bit "You look good too Chara" She smiles "Azzie already told Mom and Dad we were going out to see the fireworks, so no need to worry about that, so come on, let's go to this awesome new restaurant!" I nod and we walk out and down the block to see a new building with the sign painted in yellow and blue spelling TEMSTAURANT on it "This is the place Frisk, Alphys told me their food is to die for!" I laugh and we walk inside to find a Snowdrake manning the front counter "Welcome to Temstuarant, how many?" I hold up two fingers and he leads us to a table "Your waiter will be with you shortly" I look at the menu to see it's all food from the Underground! No wonder it's a huge success up here, it's serving monster food! "I think I'm going to have a Glamburger with a side of fries, what are you having Frisk?" I look at the menu a bit more and decide on a hot cat with some potato chisps. Our waiter, which is a Majick, takes our order and poofs in a cloud of smoke "This place sure is nice eh Frisk?" I nod "I think I might know the owner, you see back in the underground, you remember Temmie Village right?" Chara nods "Yeah, those cat like monsters that spoke funny" "Well I kinda payed for one to go to college, and I think that Temmie opened this place" Chara laughs "That's totally something you would do. It does seemvery likely that it's the same Tem" our waiter reappears with our meals and we begin eating, I can see Chara smile with joy as she engulfs her Glamburger "THIS IS AMAZING!" I laugh and take a bite of my Hot cat, it tastes just like the ones Sans makes whenever we have a barbecue "I have to agree Chara, this stuff is incredible!" She smiles at me "I told you Alphys wasn't lying!" she says this with a mouthful of fries and I laugh at her. After finishing our meals, we both order some nicecream bars "Oh man, this place is the best, if only they had cinnamon butterscotch pie, then I would eat here everyday!" "Nothing beats Mom's pies Chara, some restaurant can't make em like her" Chara thinks for a second "Yeah you're right, nobody can make a pie quite like Mom" I nod as our nicecream arrives. We pay for the food and leave with licking our nicecream bars "I say we go there with Azzie next time, he'll love the snail pie" I laugh and nod, taking a lick of my nicecream as we walk to the hill "You know Frisk...I think back to us meeting inside your soul, I was a real jerk back then wasn't I?" I shake my head no "You weren't a jerk, you were just confused is all" Chara sighs "I'm not proud of making you do those runs of Genocide Frisk...I'm sorry, I thought humanity had given up on me...But then you showed me I wasn't alone, I wasn't the only one treated like that, and yet despite how you were treated, you still saw the positive side of things, you saved us all Frisk, you saved me" I smile and blush a bit "I was just doing what was the right thing to do Chara, and I look on the bright side because I know there is one. I saved you because I knew you could be saved" I see something I've never seen before, I see Chara's face go red "T-Thank you Frisk, that means a lot coming from you". We arrive at the hill and sit and wait for the fireworks while finishing our desserts "The view from this hill is amazing. You can see from up here, and most of the town as well" I nod, looking over to the place where this all started and down to where my journey ended "Chara...I have something to tell you" She looks at me confused "What is it?" I tense up, and I suddenly begin to think of all the ways this could go wrong...but then I'm able to think of that one way it'll go right, I take a Deep breath and using all my determination, I speak a full sentence "CHARA I LOVE YOU!"
