Waterfall of Memories

As soon as the group leaves the bitter cold of Snowdin, their eyes widen in awe at the next area. Flowey chuckles at their reaction. "Welcome to Waterfall." He says with a flourish of his leaves. "This so... Cool!" Karma exclaims, hazel eyes twinkling in the reflected lights of the ceiling stars. She jumps back in surprise when a tall cyan flower repeats her exclamation. "What's this thing, Flowey?"

"That's an echo flower. Say something to it and it'll repeat it until it hears something else." He explains, drawing words of amazement from the girls. Seemingly sharing the same thought, Kendal and Lauren break off without a word, each heading for separate patches of echo flowers. Each one leans in and whispers something before finding someone else to listen to their message. Kendal snickers as she and Lauren exchange flowers, Flowey rolling his eyes from his perch. "They'll never find your body... More beautiful than I do! You lovely thing! Hehe, sparkle!" Lauren's voice echoes from the flower.

Kendal giggles, a small blush forming on her cheeks as Lauren leans into the other flower. "Butts." It simply states. "Kendal! Why am I dating you?!" Lauren exclaims. "Aw, c'mon, you know ya love me." Kendal says, engulfing Lauren into a bear hug, who sighs. "I do and that's the issue." Lauren says, hugging back. Kendal gasps and pulls out of the hug, her hand flying up to her chest in mock offence before sniffling. "Emma! Lauren hurt my feelings!" Kendal runs towards her cousin, hugging her around the waist and pointing towards her girlfriend like a small child.

"Get over it, crybaby." Emma says, pushing her cousin off of her. Kendal pouts for a moment before Flowey cuts in. "If you guys are done messing around, we should get going. The underground isn't safe for you all, remember?" He prods. Kendal sighs, but follows after her friends as they start to walk off without her. The girls talk and laugh as they walk, almost as if they were still at home on the surface. At one point in time, Neko falls into a pool as they were solving a Bridge Seed puzzle, her raven hair sticking to her face as she surfaces, shivering slightly, but laughing. To say the least, they all were having a fun time, even managing to get Flowey to join with them in their revelry.

They used their advanced numbers along with Flowey's knowledge to solve puzzles more efficiently, only running and hiding once when a weird vibrating cat/dog monster tried to mug them. As the girls hid in a large patch of what Flowey called 'sea-grass', the blue-haired woman from earlier stormed through, seemingly extremely angry about something. She pauses near the sea-grass and lets out an exasperated, wordless scream. "Stupid Laurence making me do this stupid job all by myself! Stupid Gene for sending us all on this trip to hell!" As she rants, a cyan blue spot fades into existence beneath Neo.

Flowey sees it and tries in vain to catch the girl's attention. "Run!" He simply yells, catching everyone's attention. The blue-haired woman's head snaps to the side at the sound of Flowey's voice before a Cheshire grin overtakes her features. "Aw, come here, little humans. I'm not gonna hurt you." She says, her sickeningly sweet voice sugary enough to give you diabetes. The humans, however, weren't going to buy it. They take off running, avoiding magical attacks that looked like bladed gauntlets.

"Flowey! What was that for?!" Kendal yells at the flower on her shoulder as she runs. "Neo was about to be killed! Would you rather have a dead friend?!" He shoots right back, a soft growl following his words. Begrudgedly, the blue-eyed girl shakes her head and goes silent. The girls ran as fast as they possibly could, but it still wasn't enough to loose the crazy monster on their tail. Eventually, they run down a dead end, Emma nearly falling into an abyss as she attempted to skid to a halt.

The woman grins as she slowly approaches them, her game of cat and mouse a good source of amusement to her. "Any last words, humans?" She asks, conjuring about a million blue gauntlets pointed at the girls. Neo grunts as she stands up straight, looking the blue-haired woman right in the eye. "Yeah... Jump!!!!" She yells. Her eyes begin to glow a bright shade of orange as she clinches her fists, a bunch of small white balls the size of ping-long balls appearing around Katelyn. Neo snaps and the balls turn orange just before they explode, catching the monster off guard, the girls jumping into the void behind them.

They crash to the ground, blacking out from possible concussions. When Kendal awoke, she found Flowey wasn't on her arm, so she panicked just a split second before she realizes he had planted himself back into the ground right beside her, still passed out. She stands and studies her surroundings. 'A trash dump. My people.' She jokes to herself before the sounds of her friends stirring catches her attention. She helps each of them stand before gently pulling Flowey out of the ground and putting him in Jen's messenger bag.

"Okay, we're down a tour guide. What do we do?" Jen whispers. "As the famous blue tang once said, just keep swimming." Lauren grins, taking the lead forward. With some laughs, the girls follow, now making as many Disney jokes as they possibly can. At one point, they pass a small goat statue that was holding an umbrella. A small tune reached Karma's ears and she stopped, curious. The others noticed and joined her by the statue.

As they stood there, someone starts to sing softly. Jen lifts the top of her messenger bag and the singing gets louder, confirming it was indeed Flowet singing. He didn't notice that the girls were watching him as he had his eyes closed.

It's not fair to be alone
After what you've been though
So let me be your best friend
Please let me stay with you

I'll keep trying to reach out
I'm never leaving you
DETERMINATION fuels me
I want to be with you
I will show my love always
because it's clear to me
together we'll do anything
our life isn't easy

I will stay here by your side.
I know it's frightening
To think that you might now leave
But that my friend is why
I'll be in your life always
and hold you tight and close
We will be together here
until it's safe to go

I will show my love always
because it's clear to me
together we'll do anything
our life isn't easy.

As he seemed to slow to the end of the song, he opened his eyes and finally notices the girls. "O-oh, sorry..." He stutters, his flowery face heating with an embarrassed flush. "It's just an old song me and my brother used to sing when we came down here. Memories, heh." The girls nod in understanding before they begin to head forward, each grabbing an umbrella from a bin full of faded umbrellas then returning them on the other side of a rainy passageway.

I am SO sorry this took so long to get out. I've been having a lot of personal issues and I just completely forgot to update. I'm really, REALLY sorry.
