Chara waited to be screamed at, to be kicked out of the home never to return. Who could love someone so broken? Someone who had killed, not just a stranger, no their own father? She barely held onto her sanity, the only thing that gave her the courage to continue living day by day was the hope that her sister had somehow survived the fall. There was no joy in the day to day activities anymore besides the thrill of killing and occasional sex. She felt hollow and numb, but around her sister she felt something she hadn't in all these years: hope.

Chara clenched her eyes shut and stiffened when Frisk suddenly raised her hand. She wouldn't strike her younger sister, for in her mind she deserved every bit of pain inflicted upon her. But when Frisk calmly stroked her hair and left Sans' arms to embrace her, Chara's strength subsided. Her emotional walls crumbled in that instant and she bawled her eyes out, clinging to her sibling. Frisk just stroked her hair gently.

"It must have been so hard for you, sister. I'm so so sorry that I left you alone in that situation. I didn't want to leave you, and I only wish we had fallen together. But I won't ever leave you alone again, Chara. We're together now, and that's all that matters." At the eldest's confused look, Frisk smiled softly and continued, "My dear sister, I do not think any less of you. You did what you must to survive and I'm glad that you are here. I just wish you never had to go through those horrible experiences."

They spent a long time just holding onto one another, absorbing all that had been said. When they finally let go, they wiped their eyes and let out a small laugh. They had finally found one another after being separated for so long, and they were determined not to let anything separate them again.

Chara smiled a small bit, "So, I see you've found yourself a boyfriend, huh? Who woulda thought you'd dig a bag of bones."

Sans snorted, "Husband, if you don't mind. And why not? I'm bonetacular." He joked and smiled at the tender kiss to the cheek his wife had given him.

Chara rolled her eyes, "Oh, please. You're nothing but a giant dog treat."

Sans growled lightly, "This dog treat can give you a bad time.."

Frisk elbowed him sharply in the ribs, causing him to flinch, "Now there will be none of that. You two will behave. I just got my sister back and I won't have you acting like a tough guy to scare her off." At Chara's snicker she rounded on her, "And Chara, Sans isn't going anywhere. He is my husband and you will have to get along. After all, we're family!"

They both snorted but nodded.

Frisk smiled but the smile quickly fell, "Uh, Sans, we really should go see The Queen and King. We haven't really.. uh told them about the marriage.." she whispered quietly.

His signature smile faltered a bit and a light sweat broke out on his skull, "Oh yeah.. With everything going on it must've slipped my mind. When do you want to go?"

"The sooner the better," she sighed, "Just be prepared for a lecture of a lifetime."

Chara watched the two of them curiously, "Wait, wait, wait. You're married and you didn't even get permission from the royals? Aren't you the princess of the monster kingdom?"

Frisk groaned, "Only in name. I don't make decisions or anything, I'm just trying to do the job of ambassador."

Chara snorted at her sister while Sans went to the other room to call Toriel and Asgore to let them know they would be coming by. Meanwhile, Frisk had another idea up her sleeve.

"Chara, I know how you said you were a mercenary.." she paused when the elder sibling stiffened, "Well, I was thinking, since you know how to fight and handle the worst case scenarios.. why don't you become my bodyguard?"

Chara didn't say anything for a few moments and the half monster only babbled on quickly.

"I-I mean you don't have to! It was only a suggestion! Um, I didn't mean to offend you, but it would be a good use of your skills, and we could be together more that way. I'd even pay you-"

"I accept."

The two sisters smiled and laughed lightly. This would be a new chapter for the both of them, and although the hurt couldn't be undone, with time, love, and determination, they could learn to move on and heal.

Sans came back and extended his hands, "They're expecting us. Ready to go, ladies?"

"What happened to the lazy bones I married?" Frisk giggled taking his outstretched hand.

"Oh, still here, but there are some urgent matters requiring our presence." He said solemnly before taking Chara's hand and teleporting them outside the barrier. The girls took a moment to steady their queasy stomachs.

"God, you could have given us a warning." She hissed.

He scoffed and led the way into Underground. Frisk grabbed Chara's hand and hurried along to catch up with Sans. The trio walked down the dimly lit hall back toward the Throne room. The air was as tense as it had been all those years ago when Frisk had been walking in to keep her soul during the final fight. It was eerily silent, the only sounds being the slight shuffling of their feet. Sans just squeezed her hand gently and hurried their pace.

Finally reaching the end of the hallway, they passed the giant archway and continued to their right, completely ignoring the staircase at the other end. Chara was the first to question it, but a sad and a bit scared Frisk managed to convince her to drop it. She never wanted to think about the coffins for as long as she lived. It only brought back horrible memories.

They kept walking until the came into a large room filled with brightly glowing yellow flowers. The whole ground was littered with the beautiful plants and right in the center sat two large thrones. Absently, Frisk realized Toriel was back ruling by Asgore's side. They didn't have to walk far before a giddy cry sounded through the throne room. Toriel sprinted to Frisk and swooped her up into her furry arms.

"My child, it has been too long! You are much too thin! I swear has the lazy bones been taking care of you?" She huffed and cast a quick glance at Sans. Her smile faltered for a moment as she looked down and took in her child's new appearance.

Her brow furrowed and her eyes held worry as she gazed down appearance the pale human... but she wasn't. Letting go, she looked at the three people before her.

"Come, my child. We have much to discuss." She guided the creatures the rest of the way to the small home where Asgore and Flowey were waiting. It was a long way back, but the goat mom and Sans filled the eerie silence with puns that made the sisters groan playfully and fall into fits of giggles.

Sooner than expected, the little group made it all the way back to the house set in new home. Coming up from the stairs, they were hit with a relaxing warmth. The home was cozier than it had been once before, the softly playing music and the colorful decorations helped make the place feel much more lively.

Taking a right once they climbed the stairs led them to the humble living room where Asgore sat in one of the two giant recliners reading a newspaper. There was a gentle roaring fire in the hearth beside him, a bookshelf filled to the brim in the corner, and a dining room table, but what was much more exciting was the bright colored walls. She smiled silently and looked towards the Goat monster who had just risen from the chair to hold out his arms in a hearty hug. She flew into his embrace laughing softly and kissing his cheek. Her father chuckled and set her down after a moment and fully took in her change.

Toriel left the room momentarily to fetch Flowey from his place on the windowsill. The two monsters were about to start their questioning, but Frisk beat them to it.

"Before we start with why we're here, I'd like to start off with introductions." She smiled and pulled Chara forward.

"Mom, Dad, this is my sister, Chara. We were separated the day of my descent into Underground. We have finally been reunited."

Chara smiled a little, took a knee and bowed, "H-Hello your majesties."

Toriel smiled warmly and walked over to the still bowing woman. Chara looked up at the towering figure before her. She was easily ten feet tall seeing as Frisk only came up to her waist. She gulped reflexively and took note of the motherly aura that surrounded her, but underneath she knew that this woman would be a formidable adversary.

The goat mother picked the eldest sister up into a warm embrace, "Hello, young one. It is nice to meet you." Chara stiffened and glanced to Frisk in a silent plea of help. Frisk shook her head and smiled warmly before moving to Sans' side. Toriel let the human go, but gave her a small smile as she set her on her feet.

Flowey perked up at the new human and he eyed her curiously throughout the encounter. Flowey let a vine grow from his pot to reach out to the new human. It wrapped around her wrist and she yelped in shock as it lifted itself from the pot to root itself onto her wrist. He sniffed at her cautiously and determined she was the real deal, her scent the same as Frisk's albeit a bit more bloody.

A deep authoritative voice shook them out of their stupor, "Frisk, what is the sudden meeting about? Not that we aren't happy to see you, child," he added quickly at Toriel's glare. Chara just kept her gaze on the flower as they held an intense staring match, almost sizing one another up.

Frisk chuckled nervously, but Sans was the first to speak, "King Asgore, Queen Toriel, I wish to ask for your blessing to marry your daughter."

Everything in the room fell silent as the weight of the words settled over the crowd. Asgore smiled, whereas Toriel frowned and narrowed her eyes at the skeleton before her.

"It seems as though you have already married her. What does our consent to this union matter anymore?" She huffed, smoke pouring past her black lips that were pulled back in an angry frown.

Asgore was quick to place a hand on her shoulder, "Now Tori-"

"Do NOT Tori me," she whirled on him and let more smoke pour out, "Our input doesn't matter. If it did, we clearly would have been told ahead of time." She turned and stalked out of the room leaving behind a surprised Sans, a devastated Frisk, and three more confused faces.

Asgore cleared his throat and bent down to the couple, "I for one am not entirely certain what that was about, but I give you my blessing, my child." He kissed the top of her head, "We will set up a date for the ceremony once your mother has calmed down."

With that, he took his leave to try and level with his thoroughly upset wife.

Flowey was the first to let out a gut wrenching laugh, "Well, sis, you finally managed to snag this lazy bag of bones. Mom's not against it, but you gotta admit that was really funny."

The other three in the room disagreed with him, but they just let out a tired sigh. Sans looked to Frisk, "Do you think it'd be okay if we stay Underground for the next few days? I'd like to visit since we're here anyway." She nodded and turned to Chara. Chara shook her head and let out a tiny laugh, "And be stuck with you two lovebirds? I think not. I'm going to go talk to the queen." She exchanged phone numbers with the two of them and gave them a firm push out the door.

Sans and Frisk smiled before they left New home, excited to finally get a break and enjoy the Underground once again, although they both knew they would have to face Toriel once she was calmer.
