Altertale: New Generation

Chapter 4

Narrator's POV

It was nearly midnight, and everybody was asleep. "Berlin.... Psssst Berlin! Wake up you bonehead!" Berlin opened his eyes to see Fortune standing over him, she was dressed in her usual get up. Fame was standing on the other side of him trying to wake Dayne up, but no results. "W-What?" Berlin groaned, he ended up getting slapped In the head. "Boy! Did ya forgot already? We're reviving your dead uncle, doofus!" Fortune whispered, Berlin dragged himself out of bed. He threw on his sweater since he was already wearing his shorts. Eras was sleeping in her room, so Berlin took the risk of waking her. When he stepped in her pink room, surprisingly she wasn't sleeping. Berlin saw her buckle her boots on, she already had her cloak on so she was ready. "Ready? Did you check to see if their awake?" Eras asked, Berlin shook his head walking down to the adult bedroom corridor. Berlin peeked into his parents bedroom, both were sound asleep. He crossed the hall to Red and Papyrus's bedroom, and it again they were asleep.

The children snuck down stairs, opening the castle gates softly they raced on the streets. Berlin could see eyes from a nearby alley, and stopped to wait for the creature. "Hiya Berlin, what's happening?" A young, Cat child asked. Berlin smiled, just grabbing her hand. He led her to the rest of the group, Eras smiled as she hugged the 8 year old girl.

"Purrla! You made it!" Eras cheered, Purrla hugged back. "So did you guys lie to your parents?" Purrla asked, Dayne went silent as everybody looked at him. "What. Did. You. Tell. Them?" Eras asked, slowly inching towards Dayne. "Uh.... Only that um... We were in... I might've told them your all time secret" Dayne's eyes widened as he bolted towards Mount Ebott, an angry princess behind him. Fortune grabbed her IPhone9 (Just roll with it) and raced after the cousins, with Fame short behind. Leaving the youngsters, Berlin and Purrla walked slowly together. "Uh..." Purrla was trying to find the right words to say, but she couldn't think of any...

Purrla POV

Walking next to Berlin alone? I couldn't stand it! We both were in 3rd grade, and luckily in the same classroom. I just looked at the ground as we walked, his hands shoved inside his pockets. I was very nervous, My Mom said to me he was the son of the Co-King of the underground, which meant in my mind he had high expectations for friends. I'm just lucky Eras is my friend, or else there would be no way we would talk! "Whatcha thinking about?" I snapped out of my thoughts, turning my attention to Berlin who looked at me. I just realized he was still holding my hand, My Blush increased... "Soooo...?" He looked at me, raising his eyebrow. "Uh! N-Nothing! J-Just uh... How are we uh... Gonna g-get your uncle back?" I just randomly asked, I couldn't tell him I was thinking about him! He'd think I was weird! "Oh! Uh..." He looked up at the sky, and for some reason I couldn't stop staring at him. "I don't know... Depends on what we need" I nodded, Looking at our hands looking he looked too. "Oh... Sorry" He let go, and suddenly I felt shock. He must've thought I was embarrassed, yeah that's all! I kept my hands to my side, not realizing we were already half way up the Mountain.

I saw Eras waiting for us, as the others must've already went in. I sighed, I had all this way to talk and I failed. I kept walking, Berlin went up to catch up to Dayne. Eras walked besides me, My tail dragged behind me. "Him? Really? You could do better, Purrla" I looked up at Eras, who had her arms crossed she was looking at me. She cracked a smile, then chuckled. "Then again, he is your type" I didn't really know my type, what did she mean? "I mean... He's funny, Serious when needed, Powerful, annoying in my opinion, and he's really caring for others. Like you" I smiled, guess we go have similarities. "Berlin is tough with his emotions, he is like Uncle Sans he keeps his cool. So knowing whether he likes somebody, is challenging" Eras said, I had to admit she was right. For as long as I knew Berlin, he never was as the emotional type like Dayne. Dayne is tough and all, but he can break down easily.

We walked inside the barrier, and found ourselves in the old throne room. The flowers were wilted, and the throne had dust all over it and even cobwebs.

Berlin POV

After walking alone with Purrla, I was surprised she didn't lose it. Purrla is very easy to read, so knowing she's upset or not is simple. I was already at the end of the throne room, it felt weird being here. "Soooo what do we do?" Fame asked, texting on his phone. "Dammit! No wifi here, guess that makes sense. This place is old, how many years since they've been free?" Fame asked, walking down the judgement hall. "Must've been a couple years, you know before they had us" Fortune answered, Both Twins slowly turned to the next room. I was just following close behind, not paying any mind. "Berlin!" I turned seeing Purrla running at me, she pushed me out of the way. As we landed, a piece of the roof fell where I had stood. I took a deep breath, looking at Purrla she gazed at me. "T-Thank you" I smiled, keeping my cool. Purrla blushed, scrambling to her feet she nodded. "N-No Problem, these roof tiles are old..." Purrla said, I got up putting my hands in my pocket. We walked together towards the old lab, in Hotland. Purrla looked uneasy, as if she sensed something.

This place gave me the creeps, entering the lab I couldn't dare look at the monitor. It was stuck on an image of Aunt Frisk when she was 10, then occasionally glitched to another child with light brown hair and a green sweater with yellow stripes. I spotted an elevator that was left open, Dayne stood before it looking at me. "I don't know..." Was all he said, walking towards the elevator I walked in. Fame and Dayne followed me, soon eras, Fortune and Purrla walked in. It was getting crowded so I pressed the button, the elevator shut down and hurled us deeper to the ground, the lights flashed red with a loud alarm. Purrla and Dayne screamed. However Dayne used his fire spears to try to slow down the elevator, Eras and Fame were trying to fix the elevator control but it was no use. "JUMP!" I shouted, We all jumped as the elevator slammed onto the ground...

Great now I ship Berlin x Purrla... I even thought of a ship name for them, dammit! Thats why I added that small paragraph of them alone together,  Sorry... I'll try to stop, I need to draw them together to get it out of my system (Probably won't post it...) The Parents of Purrla are Catty and Burgerpants, also image up above by Friisans
