I turned and put my hands on Andrew's shoulder. I sighed. "Andrew..." I whispered. His eyes widened. "You're not gonna let me go with this creepy man, are you?" I was silent.

"I promise, Andrew, he won't hurt you." I looked over my shoulder at Gaster. "Right?" I asked aggressively. Gaster stepped forward. "Ï ñëëd hïm ålïvë, sø yës. Ñø dëåth, ñø påïñ." For some reason, that wasn't very reassuring.

I looked back at Andrew, my hands still on his shoulders. He reached a hand up and held mine. "Please don't make me go alone!" He whispered. Tears glittered his diamond eyes, falling freely now.

I smiled. "I won't." I remembered all my friends for some reason. I removed my hands from Andrew's shoulder and faced Gaster. "Why take him? Why not me?" I argued. "I'm aware of the True Resets, too!"

Gaster thought. "Yøü'vë rësëtëd får tøø müçh. Åñdrëw ïs mørë pøwërfül, mørë frësh." I tilted my head. "Fresh?" Gaster nodded. "Yës. Yøür pøwër ïs rüññïñg øüt." I glared at him, looked back to my friend, then back to Gaster.

"If you take him, you take me, too!" I told him. The doctor stared at me. "I will be with Andrew, or you aren't getting him." I grinded my teeth. Gaster nodded. "Ålrïght, Ï süppøsë yøü çåñ... Tåg åløñg." He finally replied.

I looked at Chara sitting silently. "What?" She asked. "Do you want to come, too?" I replied. She stood up. "No, that's fine. I'll just wait till I'm with Asriel." She sat down again.

"Okay." I turned back to Gaster. "Let's go."

We flashed from where ever we were to a dark lab. All I could make out was a large silver object from some very very dull lights around the room. Gaster snapped and the lights brightened ever so slightly.

What was there was a huge machine that looked like a sideways spider. There were so many wires and gadgets I didn't even know what to think. It was twice the size as Alphys's Determination thing.

"Økåy, Åñdrëw, Ï ñëëd tø høøk yøü üp tø thësë..." Gaster grabbed some wires hanging from the spider legs. He ran to the side, pressed buttons and flipped switches, and the machine whirred.

"Jüst gët üp hërë." The Doctor helped Andrew up to the center of all the wires and spider. He began to float. "Oh crap!" Andrew was spinning and flipping. I couldn't hold it back, I started laughing.

"F-Frisk! Stop!" Andrew managed. Gaster began floating too, and started attaching wires to Andrew. "Are you sure this won't hurt or you know... Kill me?" He asked shakily. Gaster nodded. "Døñ't wørry, Åñdrëw." He assured.

Andrew murmured something under his breath and Gaster chuckled. Finally, the doctor fell away from my friend. Then he went to the side of the machine, playing with more buttons. I ran over to him.

"Gaster, wait." I started. "Are you sure this won't hurt him?" He didn't look at me. "Åñdrëw wïll bë jüst fïñe." He finally replied. It was probably supposed to sound reassuring, but it was far from that.

Finally, Gaster hovered his hand over a blue button. "Åñdrëw!" He shouted. "Ï ñëëd yøü tø thïñk øf åll thë fållëñ, øf Çhårå, më, Åsrïël..." Andrew tilted his head. "Wh-who is Asriel?" He asked. "Ñø øñë." Gaster replied. "Jüst thïñk øf whø yøü kñøw."

Andrew nodded and closed his eyes, and Gaster pressed the button. Parts of the machine glowed blue, and my friend started whining. "Këëp thïñkïñg, yøü'rë døïñg gøød!" Gaster shouted.

I ran to the doctor and grabbed his shoulder. "What's going on? Why is he doing that? Are you hurting him?!" I yelled over the machine that seemed so loud. "Ït's tëårïñg ïñtø hïs mïñd!" Gaster smiled. "WHAT?!" I screeched.

Then, there was a flash, just like when I reset. The loud noise that probably didn't even exist... I closed my eyes. When I opened them, Andrew was still floating, but hunched over and looked lifeless.
