The monsters were moving out from their old home in The Underground. Boxes apon boxes were spread throughout the ruins, each holding personal belongings of each creature.

Gradually, each box disappeared until there was just one left. It lay on the wooden floor in a cute, little, purple house at the end of the ruins. This house, like all homes in The Underground, belonged to a monster named Toriel.

This particular monster was an anthropomorphic goat who was the caretaker for the Ruins. She had an extremely fluffy, white coat and wore a purple robe with white sleeves. She was extremely caring and cautious and would not hesitate to take someone in if need be.

Suddenly, the large, purple, wooden doors in the basement creaked open. A small child stepped through, her eyes continuously squinting and expressionless.

The young girl made it down the long hall and up the steps to the foyer where she picked up the last box. As she turned, she noticed the empty rooms and ran her hand along the wall, smiling. Finally, she made her way down the stairs once again.

Distant crying was heard as the child walked down the hall to the basement's exit. Hearing this, the girl stopped and hesitantly gripped the door handle. Pulling the door open, she saw a lone, yellow daisy, it's "head" angled towards the ground. Drops of water seemed to be falling towards the ground from it.

The girl gingerly put down the box, making a small rustling sound in the process. This rustle caused the flower to look up.

"G-GO AWAY!"

She shook her head in response and advanced towards him, frowning, sadly.

"N-NO!! I SAID, STOP!!!"

Ignoring him, she continued until she was inches away from the flower. He cowered as she knelt down in front of him. Suddenly, she hugged the plant, letting him cry into her shoulder. She stopped hugging him and uprooted him, keeping him alive with the small amount of dirt around his roots, picked the small box up once more, and headed up.
