Asriel

Asriel lay in his bed,
he had heard Chara get up after waking from a nightmare again.  How he knew it was a nightmare, he had no idea, but he just knew.  She was getting some water from the kitchen, now she is probably sitting in one of the chairs in the living room.  Having ears like mine really help in discerning that kind of stuff.  He heard her walking into the room, she stopped right next to him.  He was about to ask what she wanted when a cold, bony hand grasped him.  Before he could do anything, he found he was no longer in his bed, but in a room so messy, he could barely see the floor, at least he thought that was the floor.  A voice behind him growled "Alright, ya fower, you just couldn't let everyone have a happy ending, now could ya?"  "Sans?"  I asked, "I didn't know you were alive already.  I guess I didn't get out much."  I turned to face the skeleton, whose left eye was glowing a frosty cyan.  He was not wearing his trademark smile™.  "I can explain...kind of."  I said.  I proceeded to explain how I was able to reset to right before Chara fell.  I explained how Chara was acting differently, and how I thought I could prevent her from killing herself.  Sans sighed, "I can't tell you two to kill yourselves, but have you thought ahead?  If you never died and became Flowey, you never will have taken all our souls and been able to break the barrier.  Besides, Asgore will have never killed the six humans and taken their souls either, so we won't have any chance whatsoever to break through the barrier."  Asriel was shocked, he had not thought of that. "We'll think of something, I can't just let Chara die, I can't go back to being Flowey.  Sans, I wanted to say...I'm sorry, for everything that I did.  I know you remember it all, and I can't even begin to imagine how it must have felt for you."  Asriel burst out in tears, it was the first time he had cried since, well, since Chara died.  Sans looked at Asriel for a moment, then put his arm around him.  "It's gonna be okay, bud, we'll root around for answers.  I got someone I want to save as well, and one of these daisy'll come up with a solution to the problem that a rose."  He then winked at Asriel as Asriel stuck out his tongue.  After a short pun contest which Sans won (who knew so many puns existed?), Sans waded through his room and opened the door.  As soon as Asriel left he immediately was hoisted upside-down into the air by his foot.  He heard a shrill, high-pitched voice yell "SANS!  YOU REALLY NEED TO CLEAN YOUR ROOM, THERE WAS A MINIATURE CLONE OF THE KING LIVING THERE!  THAT CAN ONLY MEAN THAT YOUR ROOM HAS BECOME PRIMORDIAL SOUP AND STARTED FORMING LIFE!" I heard a sigh come from Sans' room. "Bro, have you seen my room?  I have weather phenomena in here, not soup.  Right now there's a trash-nado whirling through the room, last week I was woken up by a trash-quake.  I even had a trash-nami once."  Sans came out of the room smiling and somehow not covered in trash.  "In any case, that is Asriel, the king's son.  He and I were having a friendly chat."  Sans said with a flash of his blue eye.  "SANS!  YOU MEAN YOU HAVE KIDNAPPED THE PRINCE?"  "Technically speaking, yes."  There was silence for a few seconds.  "IN THAT CASE, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SPAGHETTI?  I DO NOT MAKE IT, BUT IT IS KILLER!"  Right now, I was actually feeling quite hungry, "Sure, how bad could it be?"  To answer that question, really bad.

    A while later, we sat downstairs, waiting for the food.  "BROTHER!"  Papyrus yells, even though he is right next to Sans.  "I MADE YOU A CUP OF SPAGHETTI!"  "Uh, you don't make a cup of spaghetti."  "WELL, I MADE YOU ONE! WILL YOU PLEASE EAT IT? I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU LIKE IT."  "Nope, not gonna eat it."  "PLEEEEASE!"  "No, why did you make it anyway?"  "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!"  "Not gonna eat it"  "I HATE YOU!"  I witnessed this scene go on for several minutes.  It ended with Sans relenting and taking a bite, he immediately spit it back out, "Ugh, this is terrible.  I am not trying any more of your food until you take some lessons."  For the rest of the meal, which tasted like construction paper, Papyrus pouted and would not even look at his brother.  Why didn't I get to know these two before?  They are so fun to be with, I can see why Frisk liked them so much.  Then I got a thought, Frisk.  How old was she when she fell?  I didn't know but I was pretty sure she wasn't even born yet.  How would that work?  Frisk remembered resets.  Would she be born and instantly know everything she had before?  Would she have forgotten?  Man, I have so many questions.  "Sans?  Can I talk to you for a minute?"  "Don't see why not."  Sans replies.  "I mean, erm, alone?"  "OH! I SEE HOW IT IS!"  Papyrus immediately yells, "I CAN TELL WHEN I'M NOT WANTED!"  Papyrus storms out of the room, spaghetti trailing behind.  "Oops"  "Don't sweat it, kid, he'll get over it.  Well, what did ya want to tell me?"  "I wanted to ask you about this whole reset thing.  You have even more experience than I do with it."  "Well, I don't know much, but I'll try to help you any way I can."  "Ok, first, what happened to Frisk?"  "I truly don't know, but my guess is she'll develop the memories gradually as she gets older.  By the time she originally fell down, she will remember everything.  This is, again, only my guess, but I know if I'm asleep when a reset happens, the memories are very fuzzy at first.  This last reset that happened," at this he glared at me pointedly, "it took me a few days to completely remember everything."  "Thanks, that makes sense.  Next, do you know how I could have been given the power to reset again?  Do you know who that voice might have been?"  "There is only one being I know of that exists outside of space and time as we know it, but the way you described it, it can't be him.  He talks with his hands."  I looked at him confused, imagining a monster with mouths on its hands, "I mean he talks in sign language."  Oh, that made more sense.  I yawned, I hadn't gotten much sleep last night, I had nightmares of the things I had done as Flowey.  "Oh, crap.  It's getting late in the morning, I need to get you home, now."  Before I could even completely register what he had just said, he grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and we were back in my room.  Chara was standing in the middle of the room with a piece of chocolate in her mouth, eyes wide with shock.  Sans put his finger to his mouth and disappeared.  "So," I said, "see you got some more chocolate."  "What was THAT?"  Chara practically yells.  "Oh, that was, um, Sans.  He's a skeleton who can teleport."  Just then, my parents burst into the room with fire in their eyes and their hands.  Mom rushed over to me, "Where have you been, young man, and what do you have all over your mouth?"  "I went and visited Sans and Papyrus, I had spaghetti with them."  I explained.  "Well, son, next time maybe you should tell us before you leave, we have been looking all over for you."  Dad said.  "Sorry, Mom.  Sorry, Dad."  I mumble.  Mom turns to Dad, "Who are Sans and Papyrus?  I don't believe I've heard of them."  "Oh, they're Gaster's kids, I think."  Mom nods, then walks out of the room discussing with Dad the latest advances our royal scientist has made.  Chara looks at me, "I know you didn't sneak out, I saw that skeleton take you.  Why are you covering for him?"  "Well," I say, "he's an old friend."  Chara looks at me skeptically, "Whatever you say."
