~Few years later, past~

A slightly older Ariun was visiting her aunt and uncle with her brother. Asriel was a small child now. She loved playing with him. Ariun had basically seen him grow up, and thought of him as her own younger brother.

"Hey Ari, aunt Tori wants to see you for some reason. I think shes trying to cook again..." Alcor had walked up behind them, and Ariun turned. She smiled at him. "Alright! Watch Asriel for him, if you're good I might make you some of Tori's famous pie!" She laughed and walked off. Alcor then played with Asriel in her place. Ariun found her aunt.

"You asked for me?" She looked at the ingredients Toriel had brought out. She came to the conclusion she MUST be making a feast! "Uhm... are you sure about this? This is a lot of ingredients..." Toriel simply laughed. "Well, if were going to feed all of us AND your parents, we must have a lot of food!" She took a stool of sorts out for Ariun to use. Ariun climbed on so she could reach the counter. "Mama and Papa are coming?? Really??" Ariun had gotten happier at this, her parents had been mostly away. Fighting and what not. She began to help her aunt cook and awaiting her parents arrival. Nothing could ruin this night for her. ... That's when it happened.

Screaming could be heard from outside, Ariun was scared slightly. "T-Toriel, what's going on?..." She was shaking slightly. Toriel turned towards the door. "I... do not know. Stay here." Toriel started making her way outside. Asriel and Alcor were yelling for her to come. "Mom, hurry!" By the time she had got there, she could not believe her eyes. A small child from a human village had fallen down. "H-How did this happen?..." The kids were too flustered to answer. She noticed the human child was hurt. Quickly she scooped them up. "Alcor, please take Asriel back to the house. I will take care of the child. Help your sister in making one more portion of each." He nodded and ran back with Asriel. Toriel quickly made her way into her room, and went to work on the child.

Ariun continued to cook food, while Alcor ran in. He jumped on another stool and began to help. "You aren't going to believe what happened!" Ariun looked to her brother confused. Nothing interesting ever happened, so why was he all worked up? "What? Nothing that interesting really ever happens..." She half listened to his story of how Asriel wanted to play in the forest nearby, and continued to cook. She only perked up when she heard the word 'human'. "What?! Theres a human child?!" She became so surprised she dropped a bowl. She quickly cleaned up her mess and looked back at Alcor. "What do you mean?! They sealed us down here!" She couldn't think of any way a human could of fallen to the underground. Alcor only laughed. "It's true! A real human! Aunt Toriel brought them back, I think they're going to have dinner with us!" Ariun still couldn't believe what she was hearing. She stood there staring at the ground. "What's wrong?? You better hurry if it's going to be done!" He pulled her arm, and they continued to cook.

By the time it was time to eat, Toriel had still not walked in. Ariun was anxious to see this 'human'. Asriel looked around. "When is mom coming??" Asgore laughed at his son. "Soon, my son. She is... pre-occupied." As if on cue, Toriel walked in. She had her arms around a small human. She smiled at them. "I'd like to introduce you to someone..." She looked down at the human, as if telling them it was okay. Slowly they looked up at everyone at the table. They were bandaged in multiple places. They started to talk, with a soft quiet voice.

"M-My name is... Chara..."
