A few seconds after the events of OCTale: Pacifist...

15th April 2117

"Come along, Tyler!" Guidea chirps happily. I run to catch up with her, and smile, glancing at the sunset.

"I'm so excited to be on the surface again! Especially with all of my new friends!" I cheer.

"It's been so long..."

Guidea interrupts me politely. "Well, anyway! The others should be up ahead, let's go!" She grabs my hand and drags me down the pathway, humming joyfully as she goes along. I try to keep up as to not trip and fall off the edge.

I read the sign I read when I came up here, but this time fully.

WARNING! DO NOT GO PAST THIS POINT. THE CAVE UP AHEAD TO THE RIGHT IS DANGEROUS. IF YOU PASS, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH. IF YOU DIE, THEN YOU HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF. ALTHOUGH YOU TECHNICALLY WON'T BE ABLE TO BLAME ANYONE BECAUSE YOU'D BE DEAD. ANYWAY, TURN BACK NOW. THANK YOU.

I giggle, and sigh with contentment.

If I listened to that sign, this journey would've never happened...

Guidea stops and waits for me to catch up, hoisting me down the hill again. I laugh.

I read another sign I must have missed.

WARNING! DO NOT CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN PAST THIS POINT. THANKS.
- Mountain Climbers Association

I hold Guidea's hand again, and this time we walk all the way down to the base of Mt. Ebott. After walking through the surrounding woods, we reach a clearing where all my friends are waiting for us.

"Ah, there you are!" Puffet remarks.
"We've been waiting! Ahead of us lies a human village... Tyler, are you ready to introduce us to the humans?"

I smile and nod.

Puffet smiles back. "Wonderful!"

Impact looks over at her and comments "Let's hope they like us. Maybe it'll help if I tell some jokes?" He shrugs.

Guidea pipes up. "Um, maybe it would be best if we keep our jokes to ourselves. Alright everyone, it's finally time!" She walks up towards the entrance and gestures to the walkway, smiling widely. She looks at everyone with an accepting glance.

"Try to make a good first impression. This is very important!" I walk up to her side and hold her hand again, taking one last glance at my friends and the mountain.

"Off we go!" I chirp.
