3rd POV
As they danced, the world around them dissolved away. Chara tripped over unfamiliar steps but Frisk made sure she was ok. Chara's breathing was getting slower and slower with each passing second, her breath visible in an almost white cloud. Frisk noticed this and slowed down a bit before stopping. She looked at him with confusion.

"Chara, I-I don't want you to die" he said as tears treatened to spill. She smiled at him weakly before collapsing. Frisk barely caught her and held her frail body. Her eyes could barely stay open.

"F-Frisk.... thank you.... thank you for.... for everything you've ever d-done.... for me... I-I'm sorry..." Chara spoke, barely a whisper.

"Chara you have nothing to apologise for, I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you. Trust me, if I could reset, I would to save you. Even if it meant giving up my life" he claimed as he held her. She shook her head weakly.

"N-No.... i-if it ever came t-to that.... I wouldn't b-be able to forgive myself.... p-please.... I don't...." she interrupted herself with a cough and covered her mouth with her bloodied hand. "I d-don't want to live i-in a life without.... without you.... so p-please.... i-if it ever comes t-to that.... d-don't.... don't reset.... S-Sans wouldn't.... wouldn't like that i-idea anyway..."

"I don't care what he thinks, if it weren't for him, you'd be fine. You'd have a roof to live under. We both would" Frisk said and hugged her close.

"You don't care what I think? Geez kid that hurt" said a familiar voice. Frisk turned his head to see the short skeleton who had been the cause of it all. In his eyes at least.

"Sans?" Frisk asked. The said skeleton nodded.

"Chara's really sick huh? I thought you'd be the one getting sick" Sans said. Frisk knew why. Sans probably thought that Chara would look after herself more than care about Frisk. But obviously he could see now that wasn't the case. It was the complete opposite actually.

"Sans please I'm begging you. Please can we take her to the hospital? Or to mom? Or anywhere that'll heal her please?..." Frisk begged with pleading eyes. Desperation in his tone. Sans sighed.

"Sure. We'll take her to Tori first kay?" Sans asked. Chara looked up to Sans slowly and smiled weakly.

"T-Thanks Sans... I-I... I-I'm sorr....sorry..." she whispered out before losing consciousness.

"Chara?..!" Frisk asked.

"Come on, lets take one of my shortcuts" Sans said. The next thing they knew, they were in Toriel's living room. The place had slightly changed over the time they were gone. There was new furniture and a new purple carpet on the floor. Though Frisk's mind was on Chara. Sans called for Toriel and goat woman soon walked in at the call.

"What do you need Sa- my children!" Toriel gasped rushing over. She kissed Frisk's forehead and hugged him before doing the same with Chara. "Oh Chara, my poor child, she's terribly ill"

"S-She cared more for me than herself. She made sure I always had food for myself but she would almost never take food from me. She would make sure I had something to sleep under. She..." Frisk paused for a minute. "She took care of me instead of the other way around and now she's sick. She felt so bad about the fact that she thought it was her fault we didn't have a roof to live under."

"Oh dear..." Toriel said and glanced at Sans for a brief moment before she placed her paws on the sides of Chara's head. They glowed green as Frisk and Sans watched. Soon, Chara's skin returned to it's natural colour and her body temperature increased. "Charas going to be fine. She should wake up ina  few minutes"

Frisk sighed in relief. Sans sighed as well which caughed Frisk's attention as he turned to him.

"What? I'm glad the kid's ok. I.... I guess I kinda feel bad for lettin you kids fend for yourselves. Sorry bout that. And I guess Chara's changed from what I've witnessed so" Sans looked at Frisk. "If you two still want to, you kids can live here again"

Frisk was shocked. "Really? You mean it??!"

"Yep"

"Thank you Sans so much!" Frisk beamed and hugged the short skeleton who replied with a 'no problem kiddo'. Chara groaned as her eyes fluttered open. "Chara!"

Her eyes looked to where the voice came from she sat up and smiled at Frisk.

"Wait... where am I?" She asked and looked around.

"You're back home my child" Toriel said smiling

"Mom..."

"Yep. And this is where you'll be stayin" Sans stated. Chara looked at him, shocked.

"Did you hear that Chara?" Frisk smiled and kissed her.

"We're no longer alone"
