AlterSwap
(AlterTale Toriel)We walked around the town a little bit, Snowdin... Heh.... It felt.... Nice to be back..... With Asgore.... Although my Asgore was different.... He wasn't a smoker... Nor did he wear jackets so often but..... He was... Just like him... In small ways.... The way he spoke..... His behavior....
It was like... I was back home......... My hand trembled a bit........ I...... I failed them...... Sans..... Asgore..... King Papyrus.... Everyone.........
I could practically feel Infecteds hand caress my shoulder as I perked up, turning around to the sight of nothing...
"You all good Other Tori?" He asked, smiling as his hands were in his pockets, "Y-Yeah I just... Thought I heard something heh-" I said, brushing my hair back, as I looked at him.... "Uh-Huh..... You sure?....." Asgore said as I sighed, "Yeah I'm sure....." "Heh- If there's one thing you and my Tori have in common, yer bad liars-" He joked as he leant against a Snowdin house as I rolled my eyes, putting my hands in my jacket pockets....
"I..... I'm just starting to miss my people, that's it.... The UnderVerse is falling apart at the seams, this Bill guy is behind it all, he's the reason I'm missing my eye an-" "Whoa-Whoa... Slow down heh...." Asgore held his hand out, "I hear ya..... Sounds like tough shit... But.... What can ya really do about it right now?" He asked, shrugging, "I..... Well.... I....." I was at a loss.... I.... Couldn't do anything really.... "I can't.... My friends, they're all elsewhere... And... And I ended up stranded... Here.... Safe, but stranded.... in an unfamiliar universe.... But.... I can't help......" He wagged his finger as I said that, "Correction... You can help, Tori... Just not right now Heh-" he smiled, "Take the load off a bit.... If these guys are really ya friends... They'll figure something out... They'll come pick ya up... And fix whatever mess is going on..... For now.... Enjoy the moment, Sis-" He smiled, as I looked aside.....
"........." I didn't know how to respond, but I nodded my head as i felt someone pull on my jacket, I immediately turned around, as a... Little-Me stood across me, "Tori-Twin! Teeheehee! Freeze! Before the Terrific Toriel! Preparing for the arrival of The Great King Sans!" She said, smirking and pointing at me..... I chuckled softly and scratched my head... "O-Oh... Heh.... Hi, other me...." I said, awkwardly, not used to seeing... Me.... Usually it was all AU Sanses... Seeing another me felt a bit, bizarre... Heh.... Now I know how Epic and all the other Sanses feel
Asgore smiled and let us talk as he lit his cigarette up, as we spoke among each other, "King Sans needs flowers aplenty! Doesn't he? Teeheehee, I bet you know that already! I bet you and your King Sans are living happily every after!" She said as my ears went down, "My.. Heh, My Sans was no King... He was a caretaker more than anything.... But... he was perfect heh-" I said softly as AlterSwap Toriel smiled, "A caretaker? Heh- How peculiar... I hope one day... I'll have my own happily ever after like you and your Sans!" She said, her eyes twinkling....
She reminded me of my Asgore... If not... A bit more.... Slow... But.... She had an aura of positivity... And hopefulness for the future.... I.... I admired that.... When all I've seen this past while is pain and hardship... I rested my hand over my bandaged eye..... Softly feeling it.....
It reminded me of my Sanses Skull... How it was cracked open..... I trembled softly, and moved my hand down...
"..... Yeah... Heh.... A happily ever after......" I said softly, my ears going down, Asgore glanced at me, noticing my change in tone, giving me a sad look for a moment, as AlterSwap Toriel perked up upon hearing a bell ring... "The King! He's arrived! Oh-Oh-Oh sorry other me! My plan must be brought forth! Teeheehee!" She scampered off like a gremlin as I awkwardly waved...... "B-Bye...." I mumbled, as royal guardsmen walked through the town, Sans was stopping by... I let them all do their thing as I stood by Asgore....
