Tis be the final and longest chapter in your life, both literally and figuratively, your journey is almost over. Your wish is almost fulfilled. Your determination has gotten you so far. Are you ready for this chapter Y/N, are you determined to see the end?

Your eyes flash open once again, you're on the floor on your side, alone, back in the grey area. The voice from before echoing in your head but you can't tell where it's from or who is speaking but it's so familiar to you, you don't know why. What're you doing here? You were just with Papyrus then everything went black, you're not in pain so you didn't get hit, but how did you get here? You get up and walk to an elevator at the end of the hallway but when you get there you realize that it's overgrown with vines, you can't get them off, now you regret not taking the garden knife. You look behind you and see another door and it looks to be the Judgement Hall but you couldn't see Sans. Is this the final stretch of your journey? You turn on your heel and walk the other way, walking through the door that has a plaque by it saying 'Throne Room'. You step into a large room with yellow flowers blooming out the floor, they're beautiful, you can hear birds chirping but can't find them, light pours into the room, bringing more serenity to the atmosphere. You step inside, your shoes ruffling against the flowers as you walk, you see a person in the middle of the room, backing you and in front of a large throne, there's another throne in the back but it's covered by a white tarp.

"I'll be right with you in a minute." The person says in a deep guttural tone but his voice is chipper and light. He sets down whatever is in his hand and turns around. It's a male version Toriel, tall, a bit on the heavy side but still sorta muscular, his fur is pure white and he has long golden hair and a beard and mustache, his horns were a huge and curved behind him, his eyes are deep blue, big and round, his sharp teeth are overhanging his lip. He's wearing dark silver armour but no shoes or gloves, unlike Undyne's it looks bulkier, stronger, and a royal purple cloak that reaches the floor. He has a smile on his face when he turns around but it instantly falls into a frown when he sees you. Like he didn't expect to see you.

He must be King Asgore.

"It seems the human has finally come," he says in a solemn tone, he looks away from you as if debating with himself then looks at you again, "I want to ask if you would like a cup of tea so badly. . .but I guess now is not the time," he looks away again with the same look on his face but turns to you once more, "well I guess we better get down to business. Follow me."

He walks off to another door at the other end of the wall, you follow him, the door leads to another hallway, it looks so much similar to the hallway you were first in before you met Flowey.

"Just think of it as a trip to the dentist." He whispers but you're not sure if he's talking to you or himself.

Although this is King Asgore, the monster that you must fight to go home and who wants your soul to free everyone, you're not nervous or anxious. In fact you're calm, why? You thought meeting the person that wanted you dead would make you a nervous wreck but you're not. You've settled and resolved everything you had on your mind. Made new friends, a family even. What is there to worry about? Everyone has faith in you and you aren't gonna let them down.

*You are filled with determination!

He leads you through another door which leads you to the literal end to your path. Everything was a pulsating black to grey to white then to black again, a wave like motion, filling your ears with a rhythmic sound that resonates in your very soul. You recognize this place.

"This is the barrier, this is what stops us from going back to the surface," he turns around and towers over you, looking down with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "is there anything you would like to do before we fight? Maybe read your favourite book or chat with a close friend?" But you shake your head, there's nothing to do now, you've solved all your problems, "very well."

Then seven canisters raise from the ground, six of which having what you assume to be human souls, light blue, dark blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, the final being empty. The final for your soul. He engages in battle with you, pulling out a long red trident from behind his back, you can feel a memory creeping in but you push it back, nothing is going to stop you from the fight ahead, you are DETERMINED!!! He starts to give a speech that sounds rehearsed just like Sans and Flowey's, you're itching for the fight to begin, ready to get this show on the road, but then something unexpected happens. Mid speech a white fireball appears next to Asgore you both look at it in confusion, where the hell did that come from? Asgore squints at it hard but then his eyes suddenly widens in shock, then out of nowhere, a slightly pink furred foot connects with his face and sends him flying while some weird music is playing. You couldn't hear it properly but you swear you heard 'fuck the police' and 'coming straight from the Underground'.

You couldn't believe your eyes.

Toriel just jump kicked Asgore. In the face.

Holy shit!! XD

She stands up and huffs in annoyance, smiling when she looks to you and walks towards you, "my child! I'm so happy I got here in time, I thought I was too late!" She hugs you and buries your head in her chest, you hugging her back as she pats your head lovingly.

"T-Tori?" Asgore says as he gets up, his cheek swollen and red.

Toriel looks at him harshly, "do not call me that." She hisses.

"Y-You came back to me, after all these-" Asgore starts to walk towards you two with a happy look on his face but it then turns to one of horror as GoatMom growls at him.

"I didn't come back for you, I came to protect my child from you." She deadpans.

"Toriel I'm sorry, please come back."

"No, how do you expect me to continue to live with a child murderer?"

The fuck? O.O

"Hey, I didn't kill all of them, one was already dead by the time it came to the palace." Asgore tries to defend himself but ultimately makes the situation worse.

"I don't care! Point is you attempted to kill seven human children for their souls when one would've been sufficient, making your people wait and hold on to false hope when humans don't fall down a mountain everyday." She scolds, Asgore's face instantly drooping and frowning.

You feel awkward being there, like a child who's parents are fighting in front of you while you're doing something and you didn't know whether to stay or leave. You can't anyway since Toriel still has a grip on you to her chest.

"WAIT!!!!!" Undyne runs, in spear in hand, she's still in her tank top and jeans, "DON'T START FIGHTING UNLESS. . ." she sees all of us looking at her and looks confused, she doesn't even bother to continue her sentence as she walks to the king.

"Uh Asgore, isn't that your ex wife?" She whispers but you could still hear her clearly, Asgore looks like he's about to cry as he nods, "bummer." She pats his back in consolation, she's three heads shorter than him but he was two heads taller than Toriel, which makes you feel rather short.

"UNDYNE!!!!!" and there's Papyrus, "YOU CAN'T JUST BARGE INTO SOMEONE'S HOME LIKE THIS-" he stops short seeing everyone not fighting but more specifically Toriel hugging you, "I DIDN'T KNOW THE KING HAD A CLONE!!!"

You groan into Toriel's chest, really Papyrus?

"And who might you be my dear?" Toriel says, finally getting go of you and now hugging you from the side.

"I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM I CLOSE FRIEND OF Y/N, BUT WHO MIGHT YOU BE IF I MAY ASK?"

"Sup guys?" Le random Sans appears and walks up to you three.

"BROTHER!!" Papyrus smiles.

"Sup bro?"

"Wait, I know that voice," Toriel walks closer to Sans, "I know that voice anywhere." She smiles wide.

Sans eyes light up like he suddenly realized it too, "you're the door lady!" His eyes turn to stars, "I can't believe it's really you!" His smile grows wider.

"Neither can I though I didn't catch your name, my name is-"

"WAIT, DON'T FIGHT!!"

Alphys runs in, panting as she stops and holds over on her knees. She looks up and sees no one's fighting, she shrinks back to her short height as a yellow blush comes on her face, she sees Papyrus and the blush disappears.

"Papyrus?" She says walking towards him, "how did you get here before I did?"

"NYEHEHE! I RAN OF COURSE!" He says proudly.

"B-But you said there was going to be a fight, where's the fight?" She stands dumbfounded.

"OH, IT SEEMS THERE IS NONE. . .THOUGH MY RESOURCE SAID THEY WERE RELIABLE." He ponders.

"Resource?" Sans starts, "who was it?"

"A LITTLE GIRL TOLD ME, THOUGH SHE SAID TO BEWARE OF-"

"A flower?"

Thorny vines shoot through the ground, capturing everyone and winding themselves around their bodies, all except you. Everyone screams in pain as they are hoisted in the air, the vines cutting into their flesh and bones painfully as they struggle, a maniacal laughter erupts as you see an all too familiar face appear before you, the weed fuck.

"You sicken me," the flower glares at you, "all you had to do was kill everyone and none of this would've had to happen," he grows to your height, his smile more menacing as he peers at you, "ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS KILL!!"

You glare at him as he glares back at you, you're so fed up with his shit and now he comes and fuck up shit even more. He flinches seeing your mean expression, it isn't what he expected, but regains his angry expression.

"Tch, well that doesn't matter now. No matter how much determination you have, you will never be able to save your friends."

The vines tighten on them, making them scream again, your heart aches hearing them scream but you can't let him see. Not now, not yet, not ever.

*You tell him to give you your friends back

"Make me bitch, I'm not doing anything until I have your soul, since it's not like you're doing anything useful with it."

White petals surround you in a ring, slowly closing in on you, you had no where to run, you don't know what to do. You could use your powers but you didn't know how, you honestly don't know what to do. They're closing in on you, his laughter increased in villainy, but before they can touch you a line of spears and another of bones protect you and disrupt the attacks. He's just as surprised as you're until you heard a familiar voice above you.

"The only *pant* one who's allowed," Undyne looks down to you two, a menacing glare in her eyes for Flowey but a warm smile for you, casting both at the same time, "to kick his ass *huff* is me!"

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY Y/N," did he just call you his? "THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL NOT ALLOW IT!" He also has the same face as Undyne.

Flowey's look of surprise soon disappears as he growls once more, tightening the vines around them and earning more screams, preparing to attack again but is blocked by fireballs and electric bolts in the same way.

"Keep your hands off my child!" Toriel growls.

"Y-Yeah, don't bully him." Alphys joins in.

He does the same to them and prepares to attack again but is blocked again by two rows of fireballs.

"You shall not harm him." Says the man that wanted to kill you just a minute ago.

But before Flowey can try again all the monsters you've encountered before, Muffet, Aaron, Moldsmal, Temmie, all of them protect you. Hell you even see Grillby and Mettaton getting into the action as well. You feel your heart swell with happiness, everyone you've encountered came to your rescue even though you're a human, a wide smile comes across your face as you face Flowey, confidence coming from you but Flowey seems unfazed. In fact the little bastard is smirking.

"All of you are so stupid." He says darkly.

Then more vines shoot out the ground but instead of capturing them like he did the others he aims at their chests, stabbing every monster in the room, you feel your pupils constrict in shock and your heart stops as you hear that dreaded hissing sound, a sound you wish you'd never hear again. Piles of dust lay on the floor, white upside down souls float about as Flowey laughs maniacally. Amongst the piles of dust you see articles of clothing that make you sick to your stomach.

Grillby's glasses.

Alphys' lab coat.

Asgore's cloak.

Undyne's hairband.

Toriel's dress.

Mettaton's body, he may be incorporeal but his body is still metal.

Sans' hoodie.

. . .Papyrus' Bugle and scarf . .

A new feeling starts to rise in you, one you haven't felt in a long time, seeing your friends' dust.

Anger, pure hatred, and lots of it.

"You poor unfortunate soul," Flowey laughs, "did you really think that these worthless monsters were going to stop me?" The souls start to float towards him, the human souls as well, the fucking flower's eyes become darker while his teeth get sharper, his voice getting more annoying yet evil at the same time, "with their souls and the human ones I can finally have the power to control the universe, and to destroy this world."

The souls pick up speed in heading towards him, being absorbed by him when they get close enough.

"I guess I can't be too stubborn here, I mean, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have been able to get all these souls. . .and everyone would still be alive. Must be fun killing everyone you love again." He smiles maliciously.

Everything goes dark with a sort of charging sound for a second, you can't see anything besides yourself, what happened to the color, the scenery? Then, in the distance, you see a figure, they're backing you, their clothes looked familiar to you, like the ones in the locket. . .could it be? You walk towards the figure, stopping just short of them, they seem to notice your presence and turn around. It's a goat boy, he looks around your age maybe older. He has white fur, long ears that touch his shoulders, short fangs and deep brown almost black eyes. He's wearing a yellow and green striped shirt with long khaki pants but no shoes.

"Howdy, Y/N" he says in a chipper tone, how did he know your name? "It's me, your best friend," then he transforms into a godly creature, horns growing long and sharp, black markings appearing on his face, he's now wearing a tunic like Toriel's, same symbol and everything, "A S R I E L. D R E E M U R."

Everything just goes psychedelic from there, pixelated colors of the rainbow replaced the black background as he starts to float in the air, he laughs at you as he starts to attack, you try the best you can to dodge them but some manage to hit you. Though you have a somewhat advantage since somehow there's a warning to his next attack.

"There's nothing you can do to stop me." He taunts.

You realize his attacks are based off of space or space related, having the word 'star' in the name. But you just can't figure out who the hell this Asriel person is, and how does he know your name? Wait a minute.

His last name is Dreemur.

It could be said he's the kid in the locket.

He's a goat, and his name kinda sounds like Asgore and Toriel.
.
.
.
Could it be?

His star saber catches you across the stomach, sending you flying and landing hard, you cough up blood as you hold your belly, grey oozing out the wound, coating your arm and staining your sweater. He laughs maniacally at your pain, a thundering cackle from him, you pant as you sit up wishing you had a way to get your health back up, then, as if hearing your call, the butterscotch pie that disappeared from when you were at Toriel's house appears in front of you. You reach out to it and it disappears into gold dust, you feel your HP going back up, your wound stops bleeding and doesn't hurt anymore.

A mother's will to protect her child is stronger than her will to live.

You stand up again, feeling stronger than before, Asriel gets upset and increases his attacks, you dodge them all, smirking to yourself when you see him stagger with his Saber.

"I'm not done with you yet!"

A bright light flashes behind him, making you shield your eyes, when it dies down your heart almost stops, he changed. You couldn't describe it, he looks like a demon more than anything else, if you didn't know any better you'd say he looks like that weird symbol you saw on his clothes.

"YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!"

His attacks come from the left and right, you dodge most but a couple still catch you. You feel a weird vibe from him, like something's trying to come out, it calls out to you so you call back. Asgore and Toriel mysteriously appear before you, their appearances are black and white and their faces covered by a white digital haze, you smile but then they start to attack you.

"It's for your own good." Toriel says.

"I have to do this." Asgore says.

They throw fire attacks at you, you dodge all of them, they look as if they've forgottten you or, in a sense, their worries have clouded their judgement. You try to make them remember you, you call Toriel 'Goat mom', forgive Asgore for trying to kill you and there's nothing to worry about, that we'll all make it to the surface together. The white haze then disappears and they smile seeing you.

"I believe in you my child."

"Stay determined."

Then they disappear but Asgore leaves his trident, Asriel notices what you did and growls loudly, throwing more attacks at you. You run and pick up the weapon, it's heavier than you thought but you don't care, you use the trident to block the attacks. Asriel seems more pissed now. You can feel your own magic coursing through you, blue fire forming at your hand and spreading to the weapon, you smirk a little, you throw the trident at him seeing an opening, it lands right in his chest and he groans in pain, he yanks the trident out his chest and it breaks. You feel another calling and you answer. This time it's Undyne.

"We'd all be free if it wasn't for you."

She's in the manner as the others, you give her a big smile, a weak punch, saying she's the strongest of them all and you're glad to be her friend, the haze disappears and she gives you her signature grin.

"You're not such a punk after all."

A spear drops and you take it up, this time fire looking ice forming around your hand and the spear, Asriel's attacks increase in number but you don't faze, you block all of them and throw the spear when you can. A direct hit in his chest. He groans and yanks that out his chest as well. Another call and you answer, it's Alphys.

"I'm such a failure, I can't do anything right." She says unsettlingly without stuttering.

You comfort her saying she great at what she does and failures don't shape who she really is and ask if you could watch anime with her later. The haze disappears.

"Y-Y c-can d-do it Y-Y/N!" She says before disappearing.

Asriel growls louder and attacks more ferociously, some of the attacks making a U-turn and coming back to you like a boomerang, you notice he's panting hard and his movements are slowing down. Could he be tired?

You hear another call, it's Papyrus and Sans.

"I MUST CAPTURE A HUMAN IF I'M TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD." He says solemnly.

"Just give up, I did."

You tell a bad skeleton joke, ask to make spaghetti with Papyrus and say encouraging words to both of them. The haze disappears.

"I BELIEVE IN YOU Y/N!!"

"Yeah, you can do it kiddo."

They disappear soon afterwards. Asriel pants as his hands shake in angered fists.

"WHY DO YOU KEEP FIGHTING?" He growls.

A large bone and a circular-like one appear in your hold, they look like a somewhat staff and shield, Asriel growls as more attacks come your way, you use the 'shield' to block and the 'sword' (sword sounded better) for the stray ones, ice leading to the shield and fire to the sword. You hear another calling but it's unfamiliar, who could it be? You call out to it but nothing happens.

"NO! STOP DOING THAT!" Asriel yells.

It calls to you again and you answer again but once again gain no response.

"NO NO NO!! STOP DOING THAT!!! STOP FIGHTING ME!! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU AGAIN!!"

What does he mean by that? You don't have any memory of meeting with him before so what could he be talking about? You answer the call again but gain no answer.

"I'M NOT LOSING YOU AGAIN!!"

You hear the call but receive no answer. You throw the sword at him and it collides with his chest, he yells in pain and you can see his face hold that of anger but also sadness, why sadness? He huffs angrily at you and his hands stretch in front of him, a bright ball of white light forms in his palms as a charging sound gets louder. You barely have enough time to defend yourself with the shield before a wide laser of rainbow colors shoot towards you, the force pushing you back as you try to keep your ground.

"WHY DO YOU KEEP RESISTING?!"

The beam intensifies and the force continues to push you back but you stay determined. The calling returns and you try to answer but again no response, but you do feel it trying to answer back. You notice cracks in the bone shield, it can't hold out much longer.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET ME WIN?!?!?!" He yells, tears starting to stream down his face as the beam goes full blast. The shield cracks even more, it looks as if it could break at any second, you can't withstand it for much longer. The beam stops suddenly and in just the nick of time for when it stops the shield breaks into several pieces, you drop to your knees and pant hard, you could barely breath and you were exhausted and in pain. You hear whimpering ahead of you, you slowly look up and see him with his hands to his face, his height is lower now and his wings are drooped on the floor. You tiredly stand to your feet, limping your way to him as you held your arm, he hears you coming and slowly looks to you, moving his hands away from his face but tears still fall down his face.

"Why won't you let me win?" He whimpers, "I don't wanna lose you again and you still fight against me."

You reach out to him with your good hand and he flinches but you don't care, you continue on until his hand touches his large nose. Compared to him you're like an ant. He suddenly reverts to his other self, on his knees and sobbing even more, he sees the soft look in your eyes and a flash of regret fills his soul.

"I-I'm sorry," he weeps, "I'm so sorry."

Even though you're battered and bruised, tired as all hell and bleeding from several places, you smile at him, even though he (as far as you know) was that hell weed and did all those things to you you still find it in your heart to forgive him. He give him this calm look and he instantly understands it, like he could read your face rather well, and even fatter tears fall down his face. He suddenly hugs your waist (since he was still on his knees) and cries loudly, you hug him to the best you can and pat his head, ruffling his soft white fur through your fingers. You look up as you feel the fatigue setting in, you're sure you broke something in the fight but you're too dazed to wonder where, then you feel your weight shift backwards. You don't even notice that you fell, you just feel at peace, Asriel is still hugging you, you can still feel that, and he doesn't stop either.

You feel sleepy, maybe you should take a nap. Yeah, a nap wouldn't hurt right? You feel your eyes starting to droop as your muscles relax.

A nap wouldn't hurt. . .right?

Time Skip
You did well, Y/N you did well

"Y/N WAKE UP!!"

You wake up with a gasp but immediately wince and hold your stomach.

"Oh thank the stars, he's alive."

"I-I told he wouldn't die!!"

"Oh thank goodness."

You slowly look up, seeing everyone looking down at you with relief on their faces. Wait, everyone's alive?!? But how??

You feel a sudden hug to your side, "Y/N!!!! I THOUGHT I LOST YOU!!!" It's Papyrus, "DON'T EVER LEAVE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!!"

Then the unexpected happens.

He kisses you.

Papyrus is fucking kissing, on the fucking lips, in front of everybody!!!!!!!!!!

You eyes widen as he kisses you harder, completely ignoring the cat calls and wolf whistles from Sans and Undyne. He then pulls away with a smack, looking deep in your eyes with worry, he then realizes what he did and is about to back away when you grab his face and pull him forward, kissing him again. He stiffens but then relaxes after a while and melts into the kiss, Sans and Undyne get more rowdy. You pull away shortly after hearing Toriel clear her throat.

"Y/N I am very disappointed in you," she crosses her arms as she walks towards the both of you, seeing her glare makes your heart quiver and you know Papyrus feels it too, she kneels down and glares at you again before it turns into a bright smile, "why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?"

You sigh hard in relief, you thought you were going to die just now thinking she's one of those parents. Papyrus blushes hard as he tries to explain.

"NO NO NO NO, WE'RE NOT BOYFRIEND AND BOYFRIEND!" He says and you feel a pang in your chest, he sees your dismay and holds your hand, "UNLESS Y/N WANTS US TO BE."

You look up to him with a flash of happiness, nodding your head frantically as you hug him tight and he does the same.

"Aawww!!" You hear the others coo.

After a while you and Papyrus stand up, everyone with bright smiles on their faces. Undyne and Alphys are standing side by side, Sans is beside Undyne and Asgore is beside Alphys.

*You ask everyone if they remember what happened.

"I'm sorry my child but I don't seem to remember." Toriel answers first.

"I don't either." Undyne says

"E-Everything j-just w-went d-dark a-after w-we came h-here." Alphys pips.

"Everything is just a blur to me, I'm sorry." Asgore says.

Sans just shrugs.

"UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER EITHER," Papyrus sulks, "DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING, Y/N?"

You shake your head.

"Well maybe a walk through town will jog your memory." Toriel smiles.

You smile and nod, you ask Papyrus if he would like to go with you.

"OF COURSE!! . .IF THAT'S OKAY WITH BROTHER AND MS. TORIEL." You both look to the two with puppy eyes.

"Sure, why not?" Sans chuckles.

"Of course my child, just be safe you two." She kisses your forehead.

You both smile wide and quickly run off down the hall and out the castle, you stop running when you get to the Hotlands stop for RP. You're panting hard as Papyrus looks like he didn't break a sweat.

"NYEH HEH HEH HEH, YOU SHOULD TRAIN WITH UNDYNE MORE Y/N, THEN YOU COULD BE AS FIT AS THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" He boasts and you roll your eyes.

"Tra la la, Tra li li," you hear that familiar quote, "I wonder who might that loud person be."

RP drifts up to the bank, hopping off and curtsying to you both.

"AH, GOOD DAY MR. RIVERPERSON SIR!" Papyrus bows.

You wave and say hi.

"And where might you two like to go today?"

*You tell them you want to go to Snowdin.

"Very well, hop on."

You both walk on to the boat and sit down, they push off soon after. Though they're still their usual hyper and random self you notice they aren't talking as carefree as when it's just you, maybe to not blow their cover (if they had one)? You three arrive at the Snowdin stop and you and Papyrus step off, you ask Papyrus if he can walk ahead and you can catch up, he whines but complies, giving you a small kiss on the cheek before walking off. You turn back to RP when he disappears and they clap happily.

"Its about damn time you guys got together," they place their hands akimbo, "I've been shipping you two lovebirds since the beginning of this book!"

You blush having no idea what they're talking about but you let it slide as their usual blabbering, you walk towards them and embrace them in a warm hug, your chin resting on their shoulder.

"Hmm? What's this for?" You don't answer them, just hug them tighter.

They don't seem to mind though, they hug you back with a light chuckle, swaying slightly from side to side.

"You're very welcome." They sound satisfied.

After a while you pull away with a smile, you wave at them walking away as they wave back, feeling light and extremely happy right now. You catch up with Papyrus just as he's about to pass the building with the ice chucking wolf, you jump on his back and he shrieks in surprise but soon relaxes when he notices it was only you.

"IF YOU WANTED A PIGGYBACK RIDE YOU COULD'VE JUST ASKED." He laughs heartily.

He continues walking with you on his back, waving and saying hello to everyone you guys pass. You notice Endogeny with the other dogs as well, they're happy and yipping together, Annoying Dog's vibrating more than usual, Doggo, Dogamy and Dogaressa are crying happily and Lesser and Greater are petting them instead of them wanting to be pet. So they are family. The little reunion is very touching to you both and Papyrus keeps 'aww'ing at them. You pass them and continue down the path you took when you first came here, an Amalgamate is with a Snowdrake, he's telling them bad snow puns and they're laughing and crying at the same time but seem to be happy. Papyrus smiles even wider seeing them together. It isn't until you reach the doors of the Ruins that you hop off his back and stand beside him, the large doors are opened and Papyrus looks surprise.

"CAN WE REALLY GO IN THERE Y/N?" He looks at you with uncertainty, "I'VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS AREA BEFORE."

You smile and tell him everything's going to be okay, you take his hand and gently pull him forward, he still looks uneasy but follows suit. As you walk in you see the Ruin monsters running towards you, Papyrus grows defensive and protects you but you shoo him away. All the monsters then tackle you, forcing you to the ground on your back, they hug you tight and others lick your face happily, Papyrus is very confused. You laugh as you sit up and gently push everyone off, patting their heads and petting others with a smile. After a while they let you stand up and you dust yourself off, Papyrus is still confused and bombards you with questions, you try to answer them all but he's talking to fast. You two walk all through the ruins, Papyrus is amazed by the 'complexity' of the puzzles you had to go through and praises you for completing them and whoever made them. You blush softly at his praise and he teases you about how you change color so fast, which makes you even more flustered.

After about a fifteen minute walk you manage to reach the room just before the room where you fell, where you met Flowey, you ask Papyrus to wait here for you once more and he complains again but lets you go. You give him a kiss on the cheekbone before walking off. You walk until you see the bed of flowers you fell on, a familiar figure sitting in front of them, when you're an arms reach away from them they speak.

"What're you doing here?" Asriel asks glumly, "don't you have a barrier to break or something?"

You sit beside him, not too far not too close, an awkward air falling over you two. What's actually making the kid nervous is that you're staring intently at him, 'why?' would be a very good question to ask. Asriel tugs on his collar as he clears his throat.

"S-So what're you going to do, after all I've done? This isn't even the timeline with Frisk or you as Frisk so it wouldn't even matter if I gave my usual speech." He laughs bitterly.

You don't even bother to ask what he means. He shifts in his seat uncomfortably as you glare at him, your hair is currently before your eyes but he could still see the rage in them.

"Look I'm really sorry about what I did, its just. . .*sighs* I just got so angry when the timeline reset and you looked like my Frisk and seeing you with Papyrus made me jealous and. . .and. . .did. . .that. . .thing," your scowl is making him even more uncomfortable, "but I don't want your forgiveness, what I did was wrong. I know you hate me, both as Flowey and as I am now, but if you want revenge on me then go ahead. I don't mind, I deserve it anyway."

You feel anger towards him but also sympathy. . .and sadness actually. You can't remember what he's talking about but you feel like all this was your fault (like everything else), not the 'kidnapping' or what happened earlier, he's just a troubled soul and someone just. . .broke him. After a moment of silence you tell him to face you and he reluctantly does. Then you let out a breath and relax yourself before his head whips to the side, his left cheek swollen with a hand print as he holds it, tiny tears of hurt in his eyes. You then lean forward and hug him, your head resting on his shoulder. He stiffens as you continue to hug him, he's utterly confused. After a while you let him go.

*You tell him that you forgive him for all he has done, he smiles wide in happiness but then you lean in close with a glare and say that if he tries this or that shit again you will end him and no one will be able to hear him scream.

He looks at you with fear in his eyes as he nods, you smile and let him go. A small smile then slowly creeps onto his face.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" He chuckles and you lightly punch his shoulder.

You then stand up dusting off your pants and he stands as well, he hugs you one last time before letting go while rubbing the back of his neck, you smile and ruffle his hair. You two then say your goodbyes and you walk off, waving goodbye once more before heading down the hall. You see Papyrus pacing back and forth anxiously, waiting for you to come back, he looks up hearing you coming and runs to you and hugs you hard.

"I MISSED YOU!!" He whines.

You were only gone for 15 maybe 20 minutes. You pat his head and rub his back lovingly. He then lets go and takes your hand again.

"SHALL WE CONTINUE WITH OUR WALK?" He asks and you nod.

You walk the way you came and as you walk you realize something you never saw before, a Faded Ribbon. Papyrus wants to put it in your hair to tie it back, you refuse but he still puts it in anyway. You also find a toy knife, you don't want go touch it so Papyrus is keeping it for you, he doesn't exactly know why you're so fidgety around it but he doesn't ask.

Walking back through Snowdin you buy the Tough Glove and Manly Bandana from the bunny shopkeeper, Papyrus wants to wear them badly but you stop him saying he would hurt himself. You stop again, this time at Grillby's. You turn to him once to ask him again but he gives you this stern look.

"THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS NOT LEAVING AGAIN, THIS WALK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE US TOGETHER AND NOT YOU LEAVE EVERY FEW MINUTES." He whines, giving those sad puppy eyes.

You sigh and apologize, telling him he can come in if he wants to and he jumps in happiness. You walk in and a little bell rang, signalling someone has entered, it's only you, Papyrus and Grillby inside at the time, a lively tune playing in the background. Grillby was just putting a glass away when you two walk in, he sees you and his flame grows a bit brighter.

"GREETINGS GRILLBY!" Papyrus says as you both walk towards the fire man.

"Hello Papyrus, Y/N. What brings you by?" He replies.

"I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE, Y/N WANTED US TO COME IN HERE BUT HE DIDN'T SAY."

You smile as you let go of Papyrus' hand and walk around the counter, they both look at you confused, Grillby tilts his head to the side as you walk towards him, eyeing the ribbon that's holding your hair but not your bangs back. When you're close enough you open your arms and catch him in a hug, burying your face in his chest, he's just as surprised as Papyrus who's the most confused. Eventually his arms find their way around you and hugs you tight, like if he lets go you'll slip from his grasp. . .again. You both let go after a while and smile at each other, then Papyrus speaks and catches your attention.

"Y/N WHAT'S WRONG?" You shake your head at him.

*You ask Grillby if he can join you and Papyrus on your walk.

"If that's okay with you." You nod.

"Y/N?" Papyrus asks with a raised brow.

*You tell him you'll explain later.

You walk around the counter with Grillby behind you and take Papyrus' hand, he keeps asking you what's going on but you refuse to tell him or just avoid the question.

Though Grillby was rather reluctant to go, you persuaded him to go through Waterfall with you guys, he jumps at every sound of water, walking closer to you both in fear of being splashed. You and Papyrus try to calm him down, understanding why he's so jumpy.

You buy a Torn Notebook and Clouded Glasses from the turtle vendor, the others are confused as to why you bought glasses when you don't need them.

You also find an Old tutu and Ballet Shoes, Papyrus made you wear them, there isn't much space to hold them now, Grillby's laughing behind his hand and Papyrus keeps saying how adorable you look, especially with the ribbon in your hair, but you don't care. Real men wear pink.

You pass Shyren on the way and she's with an Amalgamate as well, they both are singing happily, Grillby starts to calm down when you guys encounter them, the music soothing to him. You think he likes the way they sing.

You visit Mettaton and Napstablook, Mettaton's happy to see you and Papyrus, hugging you both though you feel a slight retraction from him and an uncomfortable aura when he goes near Papyrus but the skeleton doesn't seem like anything is wrong. Napstablook tells you about what Mettaton told him and thanks you for bringing his cousin home, hugging you to the best he could and you hug him back.

*You ask if they can join you on your walk.

". . .if you want us too. . ." Napstablook whispers.

"Of course Darling~" Mettaton replies.

You smile and encourage everyone to follow while you take Papyrus' hand again.

The walk to Hotlands is lively though, Mettaton keeps flirting with you and Grillby while Papyrus tries to get him to stop, Napstablook's blushing and also tries to get him to stop but fails. Plus all the Hotland monsters keeps pouncing on you too, even the Vulpins and Pyropes who Papyrus has to protect you from before they burn you.

Along the way you find a Stained Apron and a Burnt Pan, you let Grillby hold them since they appear to be fireproof. Mettaton fabulously reminisces about the time when he did the cooking show with you.

When you reach the MTT Resort you notice another turnoff you didn't before and a suspicious sign leading to it. Everyone's staying at the entrance while you and Papyrus go to check it out. It leads to an alley which leads to a small 'shop', a skinny green alligator and a chunky purple cat (Amethyst?) pops up from behind the counter, they said their names are Catty and Bratty. They show what they have for sale (while talking about different things at the same time or saying 'like' all the time) and the only thing of interest to you is the Cowboy Hat and an Empty Gun so you only buy those.

You let Mettaton have them, he insisted. . .Mettaton-like. . .

All of you walk through the CORE once more, moving through New Home again you let Grillby pick up the (garden knife) Worn Dagger. You still don't want to touch it, you don't trust Mettaton or Papyrus with it, Napstablook is too scared to hold it and you don't care if the damn thing goes up in flames.

You also find a Real Knife and let your uncle hold that too.

Because fuck knives, that's why.

When you meet back with everyone they're talking to each until they see you.

"What's with all the stuff kiddo?" Sans says, walking up to you and ruffling your hair which makes you giggle, "and why're you wearing a tutu, trying to dance up your style." He grins.

"BROTHER NOW IS NOT THE TIME!" Papyrus exclaims.

"Sans is right, why do you have these items my child?" Toriel says walking to you.

*You tell her that you'll tell her later.

"Y/N wouldn't say anything to any of us." Grillby chips in.

". . .but he said we had to bring them. . ." Napstablook says.

*You ask if Asgore can hold them for you as you have something to say.

"Of course." He smiles as he walks to you and takes the items away from everyone.

"What cha gotta say Punk?" Undyne says as she sets her hands akimbo.

You take a deep breath to steady your nerves.

*You tell them you're sorry that you lied to them, that it wasn't your intention but it was for a good reason.

"W-What do y-you m-mean you l-lied to us?" Alphys stutters.

*You tell them that you are not what you lead on, that you're not who you said you were.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN Y/N?" Papyrus says with sad eyes.

Seeing his face brings down your confidence to continue but you power on with determination.

*You tell them that you're not human, then you slowly take off your hat and pull out your tail, you tell them your half monster.

Everyone looks surprised, shocked even, but you can see the hurt their eyes. The only one that seems less affected is Toriel since she saw you before and you know Sans is faking but don't say anything.

*You tell them that you were never human, you were only trying to protect them, you wanted to tell them earlier but everyone was really hoping for a human to fall but they got you instead and you didn't want to kill everyone's hopes and dreams so you went along with the facade.

"So you never wanted to free us?" Sans says.

*You quickly tell them that you had every intention on setting them free but thought it would cause more trouble if people found a human with a monster soul or the other way around.

Your heart feels heavy telling them this, with their faces in utter betrayal, but you know its for their own good. It would've been better to tell everyone now than later.

*You tell everyone you're sorry about lying and that you respect their decision if they decided they want nothing to do with you now. You also apologize to Papyrus for ruining his dreams and aspirations, for playing with his emotions and causing so much strife but you're stopped by said skeleton.

"Y/N," he says holding your hands, "WITH THE NEW INFORMATION I HAVE RECEIVED I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY."

Your heart beats harder and seems to slow down while staring at the skeleton, he has an unreadable look on his face as he gazes towards you. Is he upset? Angry? Surprised? You can't tell.

"I DON'T CARE," wait what? "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE HUMAN OR MONSTER, OR EVEN HALF OF EACH, YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON BESIDES BROTHER AND UNDYNE WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN ME AND THE FIRST FRIEND I EVER HAD. YOU DIDN'T SQUANDER MY HOPES AND DREAMS, YOU BROUGHT THEM TO LIFE AND GAVE ME NEW ONES. YOU SET EVERYONE FREE AND GAINED THE LOVE OF EVERYONE HERE. YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL SORRY FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING, PLUS I COULD NEVER BE MAD AT YOU BECAUSE. . .BECAUSE. . .I. . .LOVE YOU."

You're eyes widen, he actually said it, HE ACTUALLY FUCKING SAID IT!!!!!!

"He's right," Grillby says, "you shouldn't be ashamed of who you are, even if others don't approve."

"This is the most I've ever heard the bartender talk." Undyne whispers.

"I will always love you my child," Toriel says, "no matter what species you are, and that will never change." She smiles lovingly.

"Yeah, even if you're a bit weird." Undyne laughs.

"We could never hate you Y/N." Alphys says with confidence.

"Yeah, kiddo, I would definitely throw you a bone of you needed it." Sans winks.

"You're always a star in my books Darling~" Mettaton glamours.

"Yeah. . .what he said. . ." Napstablook whispers.

Asgore looks like he's ready to cry.

Well you beat him to that.

Tears of joy are streaming down your face as you look at the others, you don't remember why but this feels like the first time you've been accepted for who you are and not what you look like, your hands start to tremble as everyone, more so Grillby, Toriel and Papyrus, starts huddle around you.

"NOOOOO!!! WHY IS YOUR FACE MELTING Y/N?!?!?! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT TURNING INTO AN AMALGAMATE, ARE YOU?!?!?"

"I think he's crying." Grillby says as he rubs your back.

"BUT WHY??!?!?!?!?"

"I think they're tears of joy." Toriel smiles and you nod happily.

"OHHH. . .HUMANS CRY WHEN THEY'RE HAPPY?!? HUMAN EMOTIONS ARE SO WEIRD." Papyrus laughs.

After a while you start to calm down, only hiccupping every now and then and wiping away your tears. You ask if everyone is ready, they all nod and Papyrus takes your hand again, smiling wide with you. You all start to walk to the barrier, the same pulsating vibe as strong as before, the souls are still in the canisters but they're bouncing against the glass, as if they wanted to come out. You walk forward without Papyrus towards the canisters, the closer you get the more frantically they bounce against the glass, until the lids open by themselves. The souls are floating out the canisters, floating about haphazardly and glowing brightly, the others 'ooo'ing in amazement.

They look so pretty, trails of their colors following them as they move. They stop as if they just now noticed your presence, they then suddenly shoot forward to you, colliding in your chest–your soul–before you could react. It's painful as fuck, a sudden surge of force pushing into your chest, was this what Asriel- Flowey felt when he absorbed the souls? Papyrus sees you buckle over in pain, wanting to help you out if he could, but Grillby and even his own brother stop him, Papyrus starts to sulk seeing you like this. After a while the pain starts to die down and you can breathe normally too, when you stand up right you felt. . .different.

The others watch in awe, you can't see it, hell you didn't even notice it, but the only word that can actually describe the sight is 'beautiful'. All the colors of the souls including your own wisp around you, and your eyes glow with those same colors, your natural eye color hidden behind the kaleidoscope of tints. They can't even speak as they stare, Papyrus is in a jaw dropped state, his sockets wide in surprise but also wonderment. You look absolutely amazing to him.

You can't really remember anything after that, your vision went white and there was a constant ringing in your ears, you felt warm and light. A few seconds later, you could see again, before you is an amazing sight. The morning sunrise, or is it an evening sunset, you don't know and you honestly don't care. You notice everyone's standing beside you, all gazing at the yellow orb falling below the green horizon on the deep orange backdrop. You're so caught up in the sight that you don't even notice everyone leaving, only Toriel and Grillby stay. GoatMom then taps your shoulder, finally breaking your train of thought.

"My child," she starts while holding your hands, "I don't know what awaits us in this new world, or if you have any plans but. . .oh how do I put this? Would it be a bother to you if you stayed with this old lady?" She says with a smile.

She actually wants to stay with you? Wait, why is that an actual question?????

*You shake your head and tell her you would love to stay with her, but only if you can be with your Uncle Grillbz too.

Grillby perk up at the mention of his name, or rather the nickname, and his cheeks go a soft pink and the tips of his hair goes flush as well. He smiles seeing the affection in your eyes, Toriel took a while to catch on but soon smiles as well.

"Of course my child, our family will just be-"

Police sirens blare in the distance, breaking the current mood from love to concern.

"What are those?" Grillby asks.

*You tell them they're police sirens and that they only sound when there's an emergency.

"Isn't that the direction the others. . .went?" Toriel goes.

Your eyes widen as you suddenly realize the situation, dashing off in the direction of the sirens, the others following shortly after.

"Y/N wait!!"

"My child, what's wrong?!"

They yell as they run after you, you just hope you can reach the others before what you're thinking happens. . .or worse.

To be continued? Of course, sorry not sorry XP
