*le tears* this Chappie is kinda sad. Not gonna spoil anything, but someone dies (for now.) Also, Chara and Lust "Bond?" *le shrug*

________________________________

    She wakes up about thirty minutes later and rubs her eyes. Her form flickers again a little bit.
    Lust's in his room thinking. He hears Shadow's voice again, "HELL IS WHERE HE BELONGS! YOU BELONG!" He sighs.
    Chara walks downstairs and goes into the kitchen and she looks out the window, her form flickering for longer.
    "... M-Maybe it is... Where I belong...  N-No! Don't say that!"
    Chara looks in the mirror and sees her form flicker and she laughs, "I knew this would happen sometime soon... I have to keep holding on though... for Frisk's sake..." She mumbles, "and for his..."
    "But maybe... Just maybe... Th-They were right... Maybe hell is my only destination..."
    She sighs and gets a bowl of cereal, sitting on the couch and eating it.
    "Hm..." He's crying, "Why am I so affected? I've heard plenty of this crap! But... She seemed to be so confident about it..."
    Chara finishes eating on knocks on Lust's door.
    Lust doesn't hear it, "B-But... I... Well, maybe it is... I mean, I'm UL, nobody would care if I left... And some may be happy... Ok, a lot... Chara would be happy...   And Frisk is with Virus so... Maybe hell isn't that bad..."
    Chara knocks on the door a little harder, hearing what he said, "Yo, can I come in?"
    "Huh?" he jumps a bit, "Oh... Y-yeah..." He pulls himself together.
    Chara opens the door and sits next to him, "I'm pretty sure Hell is really bad. I dunno. I just know I wouldn't be happy, because Frisk wouldn't be happy..."
    "O-Oh... You heard... Well, Frisk would be better off, and I am UnderLust, my life is hell anyway... I don't like doing what I do but... Coding and crap... As for Frisk, she'd be fine, and you would too, you don't like me... You tried killing me, and I can understand that..."
    "No, Frisk doesn't like letting go of friends... and" she sighs, "I-I'm sorry... I thought I was protecting Frisk..."
    Lust puts his boots up, "Oh no, you were. It was one of those days when I couldn't control it. If it wasn't for her, I'd probably think you'd be running right now." He seems casual about this, "And I'm not her friend, she's afraid of me now, did you see her when I went all Lusty? Nah, she's like the others now..."
    Chara shakes her head, "She'd forgive you. It's actually surprising..."
    He laughs, "I am UnderLust. You know this. I don't get friends. People hate my AU. People think I should die. I do, but I just reset. Understand?"
    "I don't hate you... If I hated you I wouldn't have gone into your mind..." She mumbles, "I rarely do that anyway..."
    He looks down, "Did... Did you see anything when you went in? Please tell me no..."
    Chara laughs, "To be honest, I had my eyes closed..."
    Lust shrugs, "I would too... Now about Frisk... You know about her and Virus, right?" He's trying not to look upset.
    She nods, "I'm not a huge fan of him, but if Frisk's happy... I guess that's all that matters... she wouldn't listen to me anyway."
    "S-She's... Happy?" He looks down, "I see... Well, I'm glad too then... I guess..."
    Chara flickers again and looks at him, "If I had any say in the matter," She laughs a little, "I'd be like my mom and lock her in her room and not let her near anybody else... I just don't want to see her to get hurt..."
    Lust nods, "Well... If you're allowed to date Hidden, why can't she date?" He smirks, "Don't think I can't tell, my AU revolves around this kind of stuff."
    She blushes, "Don't tell mom! She'd kill him! Also, mom kinda has looser rules when it comes to me. Technically I'm 'older'."
    He laughs, "Tell her? Let your mother meet me? No way, I'd be the one dead first!"
    "I guess you're right..." she flickers a bit, and it's noticeable.
    He's seen that happen more than once with others, "... It's happening? Why didn't you say anything?!"
    Chara laughs quietly, "I knew everyone would be worried, but I'm not... I'll come back." she looks down, "and Frisk wouldn't be able to handle it..."
    "Yeah, but there is an easy solution. My Chara back at home uses it all the time!"
    She laughs, "If you've supposed to die as many times as I have, you'd just let it happen."
    "Same here. I've died inside AND out of Genocide round because people hate me that much. But why don't you just use the SAVE POINTS? Me and my Chara use them."
    "Frisk does, but she doesn't need to. I guess... she does it for me... I've racked up quite a 'death count'... I'm surprised Reaper hasn't taken my soul yet..."
    Lust laughs, "He's thought about it many times. In fact, look behind you!"
    Reaper makes motions for, "SH! BE QUIET!"
    Chara turns around, "You're not sneaky."
    Horror slowly walks in.
    Reaper sighs as Horror comes in, "Uh-Oh..."
    She begins to feel uneasy and a few memories of Toriel turning into dust flash before her.
    He looks scared too, "Uh... H-Hey babe!" Horror taps his foot.
    Chara tries not to snicker.
    Reaper glares at her, "Hey!"
    He turns back to Horror, "Please don't hurt me!"
    Horror grins.
    "Uh... Horror... What are you?-" Horror kisses him and runs away, and Reaper turns red and falls over.
    "DANG IT HORROR!"
    She laughs, "Well... I'm gonna go... I'd would very much like to not die... For Frisk's sake, thank you!"
    Reaper shakes it off and goes shadow form, "Nope! I'm hungry!" Horror comes back and drags him away, "H-HEY! LEMME GO, I'M HUNGRY!"
    Frisk slowly draws in a deep breath and mumbles to herself, "B-Betrayal..." She slowly looks down and scrunches up her nose as images of Virus and Lust appear in her head. She shakes her head. In head: Where did Mr.Virus go?
    Chara walks out of the room, and sees Frisk, trying not to flicker, "H-Hey Frisk..." it seems she's getting weaker.
    Virus is at his home and laying down and watching videos from past Christmas parties.
    "Hmm?" She looks up at Chara, "Oh, hey Chara!" Frisk smiles weakly, "Do you know where Mr.Virus went?"
    She shrugs, "I dunno." Chara sits down next to Frisk, "You okay?" she flickers.
    Frisk sighs, "I'm fine... Just wondering w-where Mr.Virus went..." She fumbles her fingers around.
    "Okay." she stares off into space and flickers a little more.
    Frisk looks at Chara, "W-Wanna help me go find him?"
    "Frisk I gotta tell you something..."
    "Huh?" She's looking at Chara.
    Chara flickers for even longer as tears start to stream down her face, "I'm dying quickly..."
    "W-WHAT?! N-NO!" Frisk begins to cry, "Y-YOU CAN'T DIE!"
    "I was supposed to a long time ago... I-I'm sorry..."
    Tears are streaming down her face and all of a sudden, the RESET button appears in front of Frisk, "... T-That means I-I'll have to RESET... Just to keep you alive!" She smiles weakly.
    Chara grabs her wrists, "I will come back. I know I will... my soul just needs a break, that's all."
    Frisk is looking down and her eyes turn red, "I'm bored of this run anyway..." She pulls one of her wrists away and presses the RESET button, smirking evilly, but before she finally dissolves, an image of Frisk's normal face appears on her face, she's crying.
    "Frisk! I won't come back if you reset! Not this time!" she starts slowly turning into a flurry of yellow petals.

    Buttercup petals.

    Instead of waking up on a patch of golden flowers, she wakes up in a pitch black room, "Huh?" Frisk looks around, "W-Where am I?"
    A flashed image of Virus appears on the screen, then Toriel, Papyrus, Lust, Hidden, and finally Chara.
    Her eyes turn red and Genocide(Evil) Frisk takes over, "Pathetic idiots..." She smirks and laughs evilly.
    "N-No..."
    Chara's image turns into a cloud of yellow petals.
    Frisk touches the yellow petals as they flow past her.
    "C-Chara..." A tear trickles down her cheek. Suddenly, all the other images besides Lust's and Virus's turn into dust and all types of other things. A scarf, a pair of slippers, a tattered and worn jacket, and a small pin.
    Frisk looks at the 2 images.
    Subtitles appear in between them at the bottom. Subtitles: Choose one.
    The images light up as Frisk walks towards them. She presses both of them as they come to life, "M-Mr.Lust?! Mr.Virus!" She smiles and goes to hug both of them, but instead they snarl at her.
    Frisk tries talking to them, but eventually gives up, and she gets brought back to the beginning of the game, but something's missing. Chara.
