- Wow, well done Chara, you saved yourself furrom trouble again. Sans exclaimed as he appeared on their shoulders, a smocking dog biscuit in his mouth. You want to smoke a dog biscuit to celepurrate ?
- Yuck, no ! they cried out immediately, lots of bad memories coming to mind. The last time I smoked some, I hallucinated a talking flower !
- I don't see the problem...?
- Me neither, before he proclaimed himself the future king of this world and tried to fucking kill me ! Chara exclaimed, the flower's sinister smile still haunting their nightmares.
- Haha, of course that's where your mind goes ! rigola le chat squelettique, trouvant tout cela hilarant. I'll smoke fur you then.
- What a huge sacrifice you're making there, thanks hen. they said sarcastically, rolling their eyes.
- Always there to help you.
- C-Chara, Chara ! Aphys then exclaimed, her and Mettaton suddenly appearing in the horizon.

Chara sighed; they didn't quite know how to feel about it all, their trust had been lost and they really didn't want to have to talk to that traitor again. They had honestly believed Alphys - she seemed kind and reliable after all, it couldn't be seen at all that she was acting - and it hurt them a lot to know that she had manipulated them because she thought she knew what was best for them, it reminded them of the asylum and the "medicine" which were more drugs to make them half asleep all day than anything else.
But they had to speak with her, she had to take them to see the white king so that they could be sent to the red ruler, otherwise the Underground would be lost... Too many monsters had already been killed by this vile megalomaniac person, they had to put an end to all this for the good of all.
Those thoughts then went off on a tangent about the white royal family, as it had been so long since they'd seen any of them - actually, it wasn't that long, but god did it really look like it had been - and they had a smile on their face just to imagine hugging Asriel.

- So Dr. Alphys, you don't have anything to say to Chara ? Mettaton asked with a smirk.
- I'm sorry for everyone, I shouldn't have scared you like that, even if it was to protect you... the little dinosaur whispered, lowering her eyes in shame - although it could honestly have been a sham too, it was impossible to tell now. I will take you to the white king.
- Thank you.

Getting to the white castle didn't take as long as they thought it would, they got there in about an hour and Chara was amazed; the castle was even more beautiful than she remembered.
A wave of nostalgia then took over : they remembered their games with prince Asriel, gardening with king Asgore and queen Toriel's wonderful pies; it was like coming home. They were treated as the prince's sibling, a full-fledged child of the royal family, and they really needed that kind of comfort before they went to fight the red ruler; because, after all, if they failed, they would never have the chance to have something so precious again.

- I have to go back to Hotland for my research, so I'll let you finish going there alone... well, with Sans. Alphys said, embarrassed. Good luck Chara, you'll need it.
- Don't be so dramatic Alphys, I'm sure they'll save the Underground ! Mettaton exclaimed, laughing. Pay no attention to her darling, I have no doubt that you will succeed !
- Thank you Mettaton ! they replied with a small smile, it warmed their heart. And thanks Alphys, I guess.
