Chara met back up with Flowey and Frisk as soon as school ended.
"Frisk, have you called him yet?" Chara asked.
Frisk nodded. "Yeah, he told me to find somewhere secluded."
"Somewhere secluded, huh? Hmm..." Chara thought about a place she used to go when she was a child. She wondered if it was still free of construction. It wasn't too far, so it was worth a shot. "I think I know a place."
Frisk held her hand. "Lead the way."
Flowey, not to be overshadowed by Frisk, hopped on Chara's shoulder. "Let's go."
Chara smiled, and she led them into the forest nearby. Surrounded by trees, Nate likely would have been satisfied if they stopped here, but Chara kept walking. It was a nice day, and she wanted to see it.
Just a few minutes later, they made it. Chara saw the river's water sparkling in the sunlight, and she saw the waterfall pouring down onto the sharp rocks. Along the riverbank were the golden flowers signature to the Ebott region. It was just like she remembered.
Frisk took it all in. "Pretty..." He smiled at her. "Just like you."
Chara blushed. "Frisk, we have a job to do."
"Doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves why doing it. That's why you came here, isn't it?"
Frisk read her like an open book. "Well, you're not wrong," she said. "I wanted to see this place."
"Anything special about it?"
"It's just a nice view, that's all. I used to come here when I wanted to be alone. I would climb the side of the waterfall and watch the river flow from above."
It was the same river that flowed into the Underground. The water was pure and beautiful at this point, but once it traveled through the city, it became filled with the humans' trash. It was just like humanity to imprison another race and use their prison as a garbage dump, but at least the monsters scavenged some useful things out of it.
Well, to be fair, monsters did it too...
Flowey pointed at the jagged ledge Chara used to climb. "So, that's where you trained your climbing skills, huh?"
She chuckled. "I suppose so."
Frisk noticed the sharp rocks below the waterfall, which made him turn pale. He was thinking the worst. "Chara... that looks dangerous..."
It wasn't that tall, about twenty feet, but landing on those rocks would certainly be fatal, a fact that Chara was well-aware of.
"Yeah," Flowey said. "Good thing you didn't fall here. I don't think you would have survived that one."
Chara said nothing, which made Frisk grow even more solemn. "You didn't come here just for the view, did you?"
She frowned. "I never considered that, but... I wasn't exactly protecting myself, either. I was always taking unnecessary risks like that."
"... is that why you climbed the mountain?"
"I wanted to run away, and what better place to run than the place where people disappear?"
"Chara..." Frisk's familiar arms wrapped around her and held her tight. "I won't let you disappear."
Chara never got tired of Frisk's sweetness. She smiled and hugged him back. In the back of her mind, she still felt like she didn't deserve Frisk's love, but for the most part, she was happy to be with him. "That was a long time ago," she whispered. "I will never take myself away from you."
