(this is JustAPolerBear's AU! Basically Monsters are more elven-like in nature, think fantasy elves, all prim and proper in the face of humans being humans. Everyone is on the surface as well!)
(Since you didn't specify anything other than the AU, I kinda let the oneshot write itself XD)
(Also there are some herb facts at the end! It'll make sense why I added them once you read)

Requested by the lovely justapolarbear!~

You walked through the forest, basket resting on your hip as you stopped every now and then to collect herbs. Your older sister Undyne walked with you, taking up patrol on your herb routes in the meantime.
"The clove patch is up ahead." Undyne murmured, "Weren't you saying you were getting low?"
"I am," you hummed, smiling brightly up at her, "Thank you for reminding me."
You both walked on, stopping so you could collect your clove. You also collected some more aloe from the plants nearby.
Thanks to the forest's magic, you didn't need to worry about some plants not growing, or even being to the wrong part of the world to grow.
"(Y/n)."
You froze at the tone in her voice, looking up at her from your crouched position. "What is it?"
"Something's coming this way." She replied, getting into stance as you caught the sound of footsteps and bushes rustling.
A human broke through the underbrush, collapsing at your feet as more footsteps came into earshot.
"Help..." The human rasped, and all it took was for you to turn to the human for Undyne to move to protect them.
If you trusted this human, so did she.
"Where ya goin', Frisk?"
"You can't hide in this forest forever!"
Once the other humans were in view, one throw of her spear, and Undyne had them screeching and turning tail.
You, on the other hand, were currently turning Frisk over, fingertips tracing over the scuffs and scratches on their skin.
"Did they do this to you?" You asked softly, already digging into your basket for the herbs needed to make a salve. Frisk nodded, letting you sit them up against a tree.
"How are they?" Undyne asked, coming back from retrieving her spear.
"Scraped and exhausted, but otherwise I don't sense anything life threatening."
She nodded, settling down to help you with the medicine.
She didn't understand it like you did, but she was always willing to help.
Soon enough, you managed to tend to each of Frisk's cuts.
"What were they after you for?" You asked, setting your stuff back into your basket.
"They think I'm strange." Frisk murmured, "I... wander to the edge of the forest often. Just to look and relax, that's all..."
You hummed, getting to your feet before helping Frisk to theirs. "Well, so long as you stay on the edge, you shouldn't have a problem with us monsters."
Undyne nodded, beginning to guide Frisk back to the edge of the forest.
"If they come bothering you again, just call out for Undyne, or (Y/n)."
Frisk nodded, giving a soft 'thank you' in return before heading off towards their home.
"...They are not like other humans, are they?" Undyne spoke up once you both headed back to your own home.
"No, they are not." You replied.
The walk home was quiet, for the most part.
"...I bet you six gemstones Papyrus messed up dinner again."
"I'll bet you seven Sans helped make it decent this time!"

Herb facts:
Clove - clove oil is often used for it's numbing effect. Often used for toothaches and used as an antiseptic for cuts.
Aloe - in case you don't know aloe is used for minor burns and sunburn. and although there's better herbs, it can also be used to help heal most kinds of open wounds.
