THIS IS A FANFIC THAT CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR UNDERTALE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. SO PLEASE STAY BACK. YOU INTEND ON PLAYING THE GAME. AND I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND IT.

Anywho....

Frisk had returned to the ruins, to find Asriel there. (Like in the epilogue, some actual lines from game here.) Frisk looks at him, running towards him happily. She called out his name “ASRIEL!”

Asriel smiled back wiping tears from his eyes, “don't worry about me, someone has to take care of these flowers.” She continues to walk towards him. “Asriel…”

Asriel continues “Frisk, please leave me alone. I can't come back; I just can't, ok? I don't want to break their hearts all over again. It's better if they never see me.” Frisk sighs. “I understand...But I'm not leaving you…”

Asriel replies “... why stay here? Are you trying to keep me company? Frisk.... Since you're still here… Let me ask you a question.” Frisk smiles wiping tears as well, “name it.”

Asriel sighs. “Frisk… Why did you come here? Everyone knows the legend, right? Frisk. Why would you ever climb that mountain? Was it foolishness? fate? Or was it because you?...

..Nevermind. Only you need to know the answer… I know why Chara climbed the mountain. it wasn't for a very happy reason. Frisk, I'll be honest with you: Chara hated humanity. Why they did, they never talked about it, but they felt very strongly about that. Frisk… You really ARE different from Chara, I don't know why I ever mistook you for the same person.

Chara wasn't really the greatest person… While, Frisk.... You're the type of friend I always wanted. Maybe I was projecting a little bit? Let's be honest… I did some weird stuff as a flower."

Frisk wiped her tears again. "That wasn't you Asriel...none of that matters..." Asriel interrupts "There's one last thing I feel like I should tell you… Frisk, when Chara and I combined our souls together.... It was to....to kill all of the humans..... but I backed out… This whole time, I've blamed myself for that decision. That's why I adopted my view of the world...'Kill or be killed' But now Frisk...I don't regret my decision anymore. If I had killed those humans we would've waged war on humanity… And in the end, everyone went free right? Maybe in the end, it wasn't the perfect decision, but you can't spend your whole life regretting hard decisions right? Well, not that I have much of a life left. Frisk...leave me.. thanks for listening but you need to go… I want this to be how you remember me… not as a flower. If you see me don't-"

Frisk starts to cry again. "I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!"

Asriel wipes tears. "Please Frisk… I want this to be the me you remember..." Frisk then hugs him. "All you need is a soul right?... to keep you alive... right?" Asriel's face turns to despair, "FRISK! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! I WON'T LET YOU!" Frisk starts to take out her own soul. "This is all you need..."

Asriel begins pushing her away. "NO! THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT YOU FRISK! THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE! I CARE ABOUT YOU!...I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE!" Frisk shouts back in anger, "THEY CARE ABOUT YOU TOO!" Asriel screams as tears stream down his white furred cheeks, "THEY ALREADY LOST ME! DON'T MAKE THEM LOSE YOU TOO!"

Frisk then grabs out a knife. "I have an idea… It's crazy..." Asriel tries to take it from her. "YOU'RE RIGHT IT'S CRAZY! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?"

Frisk then slashes her soul in half, giving half to Asriel, and half to herself. Asriel starts to fade away, but then abruptly stops. He starts to cry tears of joy. "I'm...I'm still alive…. Frisk...what did you do?" Frisk then shows him her soul. "I cut my own soul in half..." Asriel screams. "BUT NOW YOU'VE CUT YOUR OWN LIFE IN HALF! You can only live half as long now, don't you understand that?"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Frisk smiles. "I do, but I don't care, as long as you can live the life you were meant to have.... life that Chara ripped from you.... come on Asriel...let's go home..." Asriel wipes tears from his eyes once more. "Right...." he smiles. "Home."

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">They then head to the Castle, Frisk stands in front of him. "Hide until I get the word!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Asriel nods, Frisk then smiles back. They arrive behind the barrier, where Frisk left to find Asriel in the Ruins. Frisk walks up, "ALRIGHT! I'M ALL DONE AND READY TO GO!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Toriel smiles. "Oh! already? As happy as it is to be free from this place… it's going to be sad saying goodbye to what has always been our home..." Frisk then tugs on Toriel's dress. "Goat Mom...I have one more present I'd like to give to you… and Goat Dad. But you only get it on condition..."

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">They both look confused. "Hmm?.. W-what?"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Frisk smiles. "You have to try to at least be friends again. otherwise, you don't get my present."

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">They both blush intensely. "O-oh..." Asgore replies "of course… I will try my best."

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Toriel sighs. "I will....TRY. But...I can't make any promises." Frisk smiles. "Alright then, close your eyes." They both close their eyes. Then, Undyne, Alphys, Papyrus and Sans looking at Frisk suddenly run off. Sans then asks,"hey kid, what are you doing?" Frisk smiles back again.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">"You'll see!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">She then goes to get Asriel. Toriel sighs. "Frisk… you've done so much for us already… all of Underground, owe you our lives, and our freedom… You really don't need to give us anything else."

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Frisk smiles again. "JUST TRUST ME! You'll love it!" Asgore laughs. "Maybe she got us a puppy? That would be nice… I always wanted to catch that little fluffball, or a Temmie. A pet Temmie would be nice too." Frisk then brings up Asriel, gift wrapped with a bow on his back.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Everyone simply stares, they start to speak, Frisk replying. "SSSHHH!!!!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Frisk then goes up to Toriel. "Goat Mom... Goat Dad… here's your present!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">They take off their blindfolds, and see Asriel before them. Asriel then says softly. "Hi Mom...Hi Dad..." They both start to cry tears of joy, Toriel puts a hand over her mouth, to silence her intense gleeful sobbing. She drops her knees to the ground, attempting to say his name. "A-a-a-a.." She cries again. "ASRIEL!" She screams. She then begins to hug him intensely.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Asgore kneels down next to them, simply sitting there. Toriel looks over to Asgore, longingly. She pulls him into the hug, they embrace in a hug. Asgore cries as well. "Asriel...I don't understand… how are you alive?..."

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Toriel exclaims "It doesn't matter how! Our son is back with us… that's all that matters." Asriel cries. "I don't know how it happened for sure… or how to explain what I do know… but..." he turns around smiling. "It's all thanks to Frisk!" he then takes out his soul, and holds it up in front of them. "She gave me half of her soul see?" Frisk walks up closer. "Aw, anyone would've-" Asgore replies, "No Frisk, you went above and beyond what the average person would do.” Asgore then pulls her into the hug. Frisk hugs back reluctantly. The four stood there embracing each other for what felt like days, and must've at least been half an hour real time. Until Asriel finally told them. "You're finally free now… I'm not the only happy thing here. Walk outside and view the world Mom, see what you've been fighting for for the past thousand years Dad!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">They each walk outside to view the world. "Oh my..." Toriel exclaims. Asgore then replies "Isn't it beautiful, everyone?" Alphys then exclaims. "W-wow! IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN ON TV! WAY BETTER! Better than I ever imagined!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Undyne replies "Frisk, you LIVE with this?! The sunlight is so nice… and the air is so fresh!I REALLY FEEL ALIVE!" Papyrus then asks "Hey Sans, what's that giant ball?"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Sans exclaims "We call that 'The sun,' my friend.” Papyrus replies "THAT'S THE SUN!? WOW!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY MEETING THE SUN!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Asgore lays on his back. "I could lay here for hours..." Toriel sighs. "It is beautiful… But we should really think about what comes next." Asgore nods. "Yes, of course. Everyone… This is the beginning of a bright new future. An era of peace between humans and monsters. Frisk... I want to ask something of you. Will you act as our ambassador to your kind?"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Frisk exclaims "I WILL DO MY BEST YOUR HIGHNESS!" Papyrus screams "YEAH! FRISK WILL BE THE BEST AMBASSADOR EVER! AND I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS...WILL BE THE BEST MASCOT!LET ME GO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION!"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Sans sighs. "Welp, somebody's gotta keep him outta trouble.. cya." He then walks in the opposite direction. Undyne screams "NGYAAA!!... PAPYRUS WAIT!" Alphys follows after her. "UNDYNE WAIT!" Asgore sighs. "Uh, should I do something?" Toriel simply stares.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Asgore replies "Welp, gotta go!" he runs away, Asriel chasing after him.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">"DAD WAIT!" Toriel sighs. "It seems everyone is off.... Frisk...you came from this world yes? So you must have a place to stay yes?"

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Frisk sighs. "N-no..." Toriel replies "Frisk, you're a funny child, if you had said that earlier, none of this would've happened… it is a good thing you took so long to change your mind.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Hee hee hee. Well… I suppose… I will do my best to care for you, as long as you need. Now come...Everyone is waiting for us!" She then runs ahead.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">*Months later*

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">We see Toriel walk into a bedroom, with bunk beds, Frisk laying on the top. She brings in a slice of Butterscotch Pie, leaving it aside the bed. She goes back and opens the door, Asriel running in with a piece excitedly. She then jumps into the bottom, the covers shaking everywhere.

<span style="color:rgb(44,54,53);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19.5px;">Toriel shakes her head and laughs, then shuts the door, turning the lights off.
