Chapter Six: Chocolate Swirl

I propped open the fridge door, eyes rooting through its contents. Milk, eggs, strawberries... everything in there was monster food of what humans would've had to farm in some way. Leaning down, I suddenly noticed something different; a name-brand chocolate bar, looking very lonely. Smiling, I grabbed it.

"Hey Chara? This is human food!" I said with wonder, showing the Sheyher wrapper off to the ghost. "It's chocolate!"

"Uhhh... what's chocolate? That's some weird trash. How is it so colorful? Bet it's expensive..." Chara raised an eyebrow, peeking at the wrapper from all sides.

I stumbled back weakly. Holding a hand to my forehead, I gasped dramatically.

"What?" Chara had her arms out as if to catch me. I closed my eyes, smiling.

"Guess we have incentive now. Chara!?" I looked her dead in the cheekbones (I would have done eyes but...)

"Yy-yes ma'am???" Chara stuttered, surprised.

"You are GOING to possess me. There's NO WAY I'm letting you go on without trying chocolate."

<3 <3 <3

After telling Toriel that me and Chara were going to take a walk into the RUINS, I took us to the F4 room to practice. Three Froggits weren't there, and the ant-sized one was out of the way anyway, so we had the room to ourselves.

"Okay Chara. It's time to get possessing!" I said, hands on my hips and a big grin on my face. "This is gonna be soooo cool!"

"A-are you sure? I-I don't wanna hurt you..."

"Oh, c'mon Chara. It'll be fun! and then you can touch stuff, talk to aunt Toriel, and taste things again."

".........Okay. If you're sure. I hope I can get back out again afterwards..."

"I'm sure you can. And if not, I can just... well. LOAD. And it should be fine, right?"

"A-ah. You mean... one of us kill your body?" Chara fidgeted with her hands incessantly, a panicked smile on her face. "I'm just... still gonna be nervous, y'know?"

"Oh, yeah. Dude, same."

"S- never mind. W-well... here I come, I guess-!"

I opened my arms as if we were getting ready to hug. Long ago, I'd write stories about characters with little friends in their heads – a ghost, a computer chip, a demon – and because of that, I was super excited to try it.

Goodness knows I wasn't ready for the consequences.
