17 - Don't Give Up

Illys PoV :

Once again, I woke up on the flower bed, nearly bleeding to death, but I'm kinda used to it now.

I heard quick footsteps approach.

"Illys? Are you there?" A familiar voice called, I tried to get up to find the source of the voice.

Lily's.. actually here..?

She saw me and ran towards me, "No, no don't get up. Remember what happened last time!" After scolding me about how I shouldn't do it again, she healed me and helped me up.

Unfortunately, my dearest sweetest best friend forever, Flowey the flower wasn't here today, "I took care of him. He won't bother us for now" Lily explained.

...

Froggit approached!

I complimented it and smiled at it as genuinely as possible without scaring it away, seems like.. it worked..

I was able to spare the froggit without a fight.

"You did it!" Lily proudly cheered from behind me. Despite me knowing the path for the spike puzzle, she insisted on holding my hand so I don't accidentally 'get injured'

I equipped the Faded Ribbon and Toy Knife.

After completing some puzzles and sparing monsters, we finally reached Toriel's house.

We rested there for awhile and set off to the basement, the one way exit to the whole underground.

After going through 2 genocides, Toriel's battle was.. a piece of pie.

I managed to spare her even without a single scratch, and so did Lily.

...

Meeting sans was.. interesting after killing him twice, it just.. makes you think of how depressing it is to know that an 'anomaly' can just reset everything you've done and worked hard for and you won't even remember a single thing.

Is that why Lily knew so much even though she 'has never been outside the ruins' in this timeline?

After completing the puzzles that.. aren't really puzzles since I knew how to solve all of them and.. playing with dogs in the snow we got to snowdin, getting more heal items in the shop and taking a quick nap at the inn.

Knowing it'd help in the long run, I took the Tough Glove with me and bought the Manly Bandana.

Fighting Papyrus was again, another piece of pie. I did what I do best, flirt. Now I have to go on a date with him. This is great.

Well then, I'll save that date for later.

...

I can never get used to Waterfall, it's so dark and mysterious, the glowing cyan flowers whispering about and the rushing water gives such an odd charm to it.

Walking around to find the pink Ballet shoes and Dusty Tutu, I do admit they're pretty cute. I can use that as an excuse to stay in Waterfall even longer.

I always took my time around Waterfall, making time to prepare for my next battle..

Undyne, the knight of justice.. probably the most determined monster in the underground with the undying will of protecting monsterkind.

What a girlboss. Even I admire her in some way, I don't blame the monsters for idolizing her and looking up to her so much.

...

I sighed, giving the water to Undyne. She got up and left quickly and silently, I felt Lily patting my head happily talking about 'how nice I was' for that action, despite having to see me do it multiple times.
