Undertale: Resurrected

Chapter Five: The Bittersweet Taste of Pie

The drive to the city hadn't been all that pleasant, seeing as every bump and turn gave the souls more than enough reasons to panic. Via luckily was able to keep the four in her care at bay, though Frisk sometimes had trouble with Daya, especially when she accidentally turned on some music when messing with the dashboard. It was a miracle Toriel didn't get into a wreck, but having handled rowdy children before, she could handle this. Luckily the six all ended up getting sidetracked by the sights, buildings as tall as the sky itself towering over them and everything else. Everywhere, people walked, and cars of all different sizes and colors drove alongside them. It was almost overwhelming, but at least Via and Frisk were there to try and keep down any potential panic.

        Eventually, Toriel turned and drove up a little driveway that lead to a light purple home, flowers of all different shapes and colors growing out front. Those little flowers instantly caught little Austin's attention, and once the goat monster went to let them out, the boy jumped down and ran to the flowerbed.

        "So many colors!" he exclaimed happily, picking a few for himself as the other children began marveling at the structure the flowers were planted near.

        "This place is huge!"

        "So this is where Outsiders live..?"

        "Why can't we build something like this?!"

        "It's so l-loud here-"

        Despite his desire to run over to his friend, Gabriel was too intimidated by the sheer existence of such a metropolis and decided to stay by Via's side, the boy planning on using his job of typically guiding Via around as an excuse. However, this terrain was definitely not as rocky as the mountain's; even though the driveway sloped, the ground was flat. Best part was, the glasses were a lot more helpful now that she was simply looking over a structure rather than examining every single crevice in Mt. Ebott's rocky outcropping. She could actually see the house really well, and that prodded her to smile slightly for a few seconds.

        "Do you like it?" asked Frisk, looking over at Via and grinning; he'd caught her small smile.

        "The structure is impressive, but not as impressive as the city inside the mountain," she replied before walking over to where Vera currently was with Daya, examining the supposed entrance.

        "I think we're supposed to pull this thing?" Daya suggested, pointing at a circular door knob.

        "Well apparently not, cause it didn't open!" Vera snapped, banging on the door yet again.

        "Children! Don't bang on the door!" Toriel called to them in a firm voice, the monster currently preoccupied with Flare as she tried to get the unnerved child to exit the vehicle.

        "I got it, Mom!" yelled Frisk as he jingled his adoptive mother's keychain and made a beeline for the door, the boy weaving his way through the small group of kids before inserting the proper key into the lock.

        "Miss Monster Lady! Frisk stabbed the door!" Daya tattled as she crossed her arms in a pout, the child not understanding a simple lock-and-key function.

        "No- It's okay!" And with that, the Latino kid opened the door, warm air making its way to the entrance as it invited them all inside.

        "C-Can we go in?" asked Gabriel softly, though Austin and Vera beat him to it as they quickly moved inside, Austin hugging his newly picked flowers while Vera stretched out her arms as if to soak up the warmth.
