Frisk's POV:


I walk into the kitchen, everyone's already awake and getting breakfast before school/work. I grab a bowl and pour myself some cereal, I say good morning.

"Good morning, my child." Mom smiles, washing up her breakfast... then she grabs her things and says goodbye, she's going to school early today so that she can sort some things out for the drama club's performance today. Chara and Asriel say that they're going to get dressed and then they'll be ready. I sit down and put the spoon in my mouth, chomping down on the cereal.


"So, that little 'quote' from yesterday reminded me a bit of Papyrus' death. 'Not fighting is cowardly', I guess you were just getting ready to kill us all then huh?" Sans looks at me angrily.

"Sans, I-"

"I wonder, Kid, how long have you been thinking of hurting us? A week? A month? Since I saw that dang reset button and you hid your powers from me, I've been waiting for something like this to happen." He says, why is he acting this way? I ignore the stinging feeling at the back of my eyes,

"Look Sans... I'm sorry. I would never do another genocide and I wouldn't dare do another RESET, it's not fair on any of you and I don't want to lose all the progress we've made up here. So I'm sorry that I'm a disgrace, I'm sorry that I ruined your life, I'm sorry I flipped out and tried to hurt you all and I'm sorry that saying sorry won't fix anything. I know that I'm bad and that I've affected a lot of things in a bad way, but I try. I'm really trying to be good, I'm trying to forget everything that happened but it constantly haunts me. I have flashbacks all the time of when I killed everyone in the underground, it's a horrible feeling and I know that you get haunted by the thought of another RESET, of Paps dying again but I'm trying. I'm trying to be better, I'm trying to forget and just live in the moment but it's hard. I just- I miss the way things used to be, when we first came up to the surface. It was hard convincing everyone that you belonged here but I stayed determined because your lives mattered to me more than anything. I miss everything good, I miss all the amazing memories I made those years ago but it's not coming back and there's nothing I can do about it so I'm trying to forget, I'm trying to live in the moment. Why can't you try that too..? I miss how close we used to be and how much fun we had together, but I've done a lot to ruin our relationship. I'm sorry, I'm trying and you should too." I grab my bag and go outside, wiping my tears away. I'll just wait for Chara and Asriel out here.


Chara's POV:


I look at Sans whose expression I can't read,

"Um, where's Frisk?"

The short skeleton just points to the front door, I nod slowly and then walk out with Asriel beside me.

"Hey, Frisk? You ready?" I ask, tapping their shoulder. They nod,

"Yeah, sorry, let's go."

As we walk, I see Sans lock the door and walk across the road to Papyrus and Mettaton's house. What happened with these two? I was only gone two minutes or so.


I sit down in class and look over at Frisk who looks like they're in another world. I poke them and whisper their name, they look up and then at me, a fake smile spreads across their face.


I walked into the school and over to my friends, today we were going to perform our play in front of the rest of our class.
