MemoryTale --- Hopes and Dreams

Frisk does a bit of backtracking and warms up

Frisk somehow felt even colder then she did in Snowdin.

Maybe because she was soaking wet, shivering and the water was just freezing in general! Probably!

Frisk tried to ignore the goosebumps on her arm when she was greeted by a really nice lovely golden light. A SAVE! Those things usually healed her, so maybe it would also dry her clothes..?

She grabbed the warm light.

Nope. Still cold.

Worth a shot though!

"Are you sure you're okay?" Chara asked. Frisk nodded hastily. Why wouldn't she be! I mean other then everything negative, she was still in one piece! (She knew it was easily reversible but she hated turning back time. It reminded her too much of the last time she came through here... Besides, the pain in the moment of dying was so much.)

Chara still seemed uncertain, but took the response. Frisk was glad. Still, the topic needed changing.

"Do you think my search party gave up yet?" Frisk asked, "think about it, I was in the RUINs for a week, and I have no clue how long it took me to get from Snowdin to here. There's no sun to tell the time! For all I know, I've been up for twenty four hours straight!"

"Hey, I know a lot about a lot of things but NOTHING about search parties," Chara said with a scoff, "who knows when you'll be declared dead."

It was probably for the best. She didn't know how long she'd be here. It was for the best her family thought she wasn't coming back, she didn't want them to waste time searching for her when she was safe and immortal.

"Hey. You probably should keep moving so you dry out," Chara insisted.

"oh, look who seems to care," A familiar voice drawled out.

"Sans??" Frisk ran up ahead, "oh! Hi!"

"heya. undyne out of your hair yet?" Sans asked. Frisk touched her hair out of instinct.

"Undyne may not be in it but lake water is," Frisk said. Sans snorted.

"oh, it looks like you got your 'flower-boy' back," Sans yawned.

"Her WHAT????" Chara yelled. Frisk forgot he called him that.

"How about we stop talking now!!!" Frisk cut in, "I need to get a move on and I'm really cold!!!"

"how about you take a pitstop at my place, do a little backtracking. we'll be back there soon enough. you can warm up, get a little food in your system. whatever you need. only rule is the flower doesn't come."

"Sorry, he goes where I go-"

"Frisk, it's probably for the best. Human bodies can get uh, hypo- uh- hypothermia??? Or something??? So you should try to prevent that. I'll be fine."

"You'll get lonely-!"

"Go. I'll be fine." Frisk didn't exactly believe Chara but not only was arguing getting them nowhere, but she was REALLY cold.

Why didn't she believe him? He said he'd be fine, and he was literally arguing for it. He'd be fine.

"Alright, fine. But let's be quick."

It was only a blink, and Frisk was back at Sans and Papyrus' house. Chara suddenly felt so far away. Was he really going to be okay?

Frisk scolded herself in her head. He was a teenager! Teenagers were supposed to be mature and stuff! He can sit in the same spot for an extended period of time!
