Conduit Tale-An Undertale Fanfiction Novel

Chapter 60: Epilogue

Epilogue: 

Friskarino had to wait to come back. Being gone from the Underground as Frisk wasn't easy. Being alone after all that time of being as one. Every Frisk was gone though, except one. Even his brother, BRAVERY, all but gone. He went out a hero, but it still put Friskarino in a hard position. 

Friskarino knew Sans would let him stay, even though he most likely picked up that he had some feelings for Frisky. But, he did need to move on. Frisky belonged to Sans, he'd known that for longer than he wanted to admit. Even in another timeline, they belonged together. And if there was any doubt, walking in on that scene in the Hall of Memories, as painful as it had been, was the nail in the coffin.

It had been many a year before he was ready to come back. At first, he didn't think he ever would. Then he met someone. Okay, more like hunted for someone. He had to cross many a dangerous barrier in those days to find his someone special, but he did. 

In less than a year they had been married and had a son. He, of course, was still drawn to the name Frisk. So, he named him Frisk. Married and with a kid now, he was quite settled and happy, barely thinking about the Underground again. 

Until, it was time to cross over. When the Frisks pulled their last trick and showed the world that re-resets could be freed, it changed a lot of things. Humans weren't so scared anymore, and their souls weren't considered weak. They had lived and accepted that Monsters and Balancers were here to stay now, and weren't going to do anything stupid. Although tension was still high between all three actually, no kind of real war broke out. And, humans slowly gained more rights. 

In fact, they were on there way to see Alicia's family on the other side of the Underground. A part of him had waited for the day they could cross. His own son was nearly Chance's age before the big change on him, meaning Chance himself would be older. He wouldn't remember him, or anything they did together, but. How much had he ended up like his old self? 

Friskarino walked hand in hand with his wife, holding his son as they came up. As a crossing territory, there were a lot more guards. There was a chance he might not even catch a glimpse of anyone he knew. Which, was fine. He didn't want to interrupt their lives, but, it would be good to see someone. 

"Halt!" 

Papyrus. He still looked the same as the day they met. Friskarino waved, bringing out his proper papers for crossing. 

"You look familiar human . . ." Papyrus was trying to size him up. "I am very good at detecting these things. I know I've seen you once before. Maybe twice. Maybe more. Maybe less?" He rubbed his head and looked at the papers. "Oh, I remember now." 

"We are passing through to see my family," Alicia spoke for him. "It should be in the papers?" 

"Friskarino!" 

To his right though, he saw her, running right toward him. And, for a moment, several feelings came back. He remembered being FRISK again. Remembered the time all their souls were joined into one. Remembered his little crush on her. But, that was all it had been. He waved as she came by. "Hey, Frisky. Just passing through." 

"Just passing through my rear end, Friskarino." She practically slugged him in the shoulder. "You haven't visited nearly six years." She smiled at his wife and son. "Hi, I'm Frisky." 

"Yo," Frisk said, waving. "I'm Frisk." 

"The name kind of sticks around," Friskarino said. "This is my son." 

"Dead giveaway," she teased him and shook his wife's hand. "Hello." 

"Hi. I'm Alicia." 

"Frisky."
