The Broken Resets

Chapter 3: Finally Meeting Asriel

Once Gaster presented me to the queen I was hired right away. I was to help the queen with whatever she needed.

Honestly I had been working as the queen's aide for a week. I had yet to meet anyone but Asgore and a few of the citizens. I had become fortunate enough to meet Sans and Papyrus all over again. They were just children.

"Sons, I want you to meet my new friend, Arial, these are my sons, Sans and Papyrus." Faster warbled out fondly. Faster knew I had met them before, but I could tell he was too happy to be able to stop himself from introducing them. It made me think. Looking back, I realized why he was so happy.

"Hello you two." I said kindly. I noticed for the first time my voice had changed. It was clear, simple, sweet. I didn't dislike it, but my manner of speaking had changed too. I spoke more properly. It was interesting.

"Hey, what do skeletons say when they sit down for a meal?" Sans spoke up. The other Sans had told me this joke before, but he wouldn't remember that.

"I do not know, what do they say?" She asked kindly.

"Bone-appetite!" He said happily and I chuckled.

"That's a very clever joke." I said kindly, and he beamed up at me. I noticed the tiny baby Papyrus crawl over to me and I bent down and picked him up. "My goodness, you're so cute!"

"Mama!" The baby said and patted my cheek bones. I felt my heart drop at that moment. Gaster quickly took the child from my arms as I was just in a bit of shock, Sans seemed to be made upset by this.

"No no Papyrus, Arial, she isn't your mother." Gaster tried to explain. Oh gosh it just got worse for a while. Finally I had an idea. I took Papyrus gently back from Gaster.

"I'm sorry, Papyrus, I can't be your mother." I said to the young one, and he looked really sad. "But I can be something else..." I said with a smile, and he tilted his head, visually confused. "I can be your sister, sort of." I said, and he beamed.

"Sissy! Sissy!" He said and I turned to Gaster.

"What do you say?" I asked, and Sans bounded over to us.

"Can she dad? Can she?" He asked excited. Gaster smiled and chuckled.

"I suppose that's fair." He said kindly, smiling at me. There was a group hug, and everything was pretty good.

Most of the time I just ran errands for the queen. Poor Toriel was so busy with her duties as queen, she barely had time to go shopping for groceries or get new books for her kid. Chara I had met, and honestly was barely the demon I recognized. Sure they liked to play pranks, but I think more then anything I fascinated them. I suppose it's because "Arial" was completely new. At first Chara was very apprehensive around me, but I was able to quickly win them over. All it took was chocolate apparently. He mumbled something about a glitch in the code, but I said nothing.

It was a day I had just come back from doing the groceries for Toriel, who insisted not to call her "Her Majesty" or anything of the sorts. Just Toriel.

"Toriel? I've finished the groceries!" I called out, when there was no response I figured she must be teaching the kids their daily lessons. I began putting everything away when I felt a small tug on my dress. As I peered down I saw what looked more like a small baby goat. He was so cute!

"Oh, hello, you must be Asriel, I'm Arial, Toriel's... friend." I said smiling softly. He nodded a bit.

"Mom said you were going to bring us more juice, and she wanted me to ask you to watch us for a bit. she had some urgent work." The small kid spoke timidly. I smiled.

"Well, alright, I suppose that would be alright. Where's Chara?" I asked kindly as I moved to get the kid some juice.

"Hi Arial, I see you finally met Asriel." I heard, as I turned the demon stood behind me, seeming as innocent as could be. I smiled and nodded.

"Yes, finally met the young prince, your mother has told me much about you." I said as I handed the kid a cup of juice. The small goat like child smiled, making me chuckle, he was such a sweet kid.

"Well, since you're watching us, you can play with us!" Chara said excitedly. I chuckled and nodded. "Alright, what would you like to play?" I asked, and the smiled widely, taking my hand and bringing me to the couch. "All sorts of human stuff has come down here. We even got a video game system!" Chara said excitedly. I chuckled. "Well, I suppose we can play this for a little.

"Awe, I want to build a fort!" Asriel said as he set his glass on the coffee table. I looked between them and smiled.

"How about we build a fort, and then play video games from inside the fort?" I suggested.  They both seemed to like that idea.

So the three of us built the Fort and Chara set up the video games. We played a three player fighting game. It was fun. After that Chara and Asriel wanted to show me their favourite game, but it was two player.

"Here, you can play my character, Arial." Asriel offered me the player 2 controller and moved to sit next to me, so I could sit next to Chara. Chara and I played for a while, until I felt a soft object fall on my arm. As I looked down, I saw Asriel passed out on my arm. I chuckled and petted his head.

When I looked out from our Fort I saw  that it was quite late, according to a clock on the wall. "I think it's time for bed Chara." I said kindly.

"Awe! But I'm not tired." They whined and I chuckled.

"Your mother won't be happy I let you stay up so late. Now come on." I said and hoisted Asriel into my arms as he proceeded to snuggle into me.

I tucked the two of them into bed and then cleaned up the Fort. Toriel and Asgore came home, which freed me up to go home for the night.

When I stepped out of the house, I saw Gaster waiting for me.

"Oh, hello, I wasn't expecting you." I said smiling. "I thought I'd walk you home, it is pretty late after all." He explained, causing me to smile softly.

"How was baby sitting?" He asked. I merely shrugged and smiled.

"They're cute kids, it's hard to remember what Chara's done sometimes..." I said softly. It was true. Chara seemed happy in this timeline. I began to wonder what would happen though. This could all be an act.

"It's funny though, if everything had gone how it was supposed to, and they had lived, they would have been your age in your timeline." He added with a chuckle.

"Huh, weird, never thought of that before." I said, and let it go for the time being.

-------

Okay! So, Arial finally meets Asriel! So! I have a question for you! How long do you want this part of the timeline to go? Should I do more fluff chapters? Or wrap it up and move to the next part of the plot? Which would be a time skip to when Frisk falls into the Underworld again.

Also, what do you think of Arial? I'll be posting art of her sometime in the future, but for now you'll have to use the cover and your imagination to figure out what she looks like!

And are there any ships you guys want me to add into the future, when it comes down to it? Let me know!
