As soon as I heard those words it felt like my skull was cracking with the information that flooded my mind. So many images flitted in front of my eyes and all of a sudden I knew things that I didn't know previously. Knowledge about the pasts of everyone in the Multiverse, about the Multiverse itself, about the Void and Anti-Void, and about my abilities. I felt myself stumble and vaguely felt arms wrap around me. The worried voices of my brothers and friends surrounded me.
"We..." I winced as I straightened myself out, "We may not have to worry about resets anymore." I could feel my friend's confusion roll off of them in waves. I used my staff to open a portal back to our universe.
"Are you sure we can go back?" Palette seemed to be most fearful and when I wracked my brain for why, it popped up instantly. I could feel myself gasp at the information.
"You didn't! With Goth!?" I smiled for my friend, who blushed a mix of yellow and green.
"H-How did you know?"
"I don't know honestly. I just know that I know a lot of things now." My brow bones furrowed in confusion, "Though it seems this most recent time doesn't line up with the other timelines. Did you decide to do it before it wasn't a choice?" Palette nodded shyly at my question.
"What? It wasn't the first time, Pally?" Cil looked at her brother while the other were looking at us with confusion in their eyes. It seems they didn't know about Palette and Goth.
"Nevermind that. We'll talk about it more later. For now we have to get back before were killed for being late." Everyone nodded in agreement and started going through the portal one by one, until there was no one but PJ and I left. Before I followed the others, PaperJam took my hand.
"You know, I think we some unfinished business." His expression held his signature smirk.
"What would that be?" I rested one of my hands on his chest, feigning ignorance. PaperJam whispered my name while we leaned into each other and right before our 'lips' met he whispered the three words I wanted to say to him myself, "I love you." He pressed his 'lips' against mine in a sweet kiss. It felt like my soul was going to beat out of my chest. My bones felt light and my mind was clear for the first time for this entire encounter.
I didn't realize that we had stumbled through the portal until we heard the snickers of our friends and family. PJ blushed bright magenta when he pulled away. "O-Oops.."
I laughed softly and kissed his cheekbone. "Well, it's too late to hide it now." I pulled away from our embrace and leaned against my staff. "We have a lot to discuss."

Frisk's Point of View
It's been nearly 5 months since anyone had seen Cora or PaperJam. I was worried. This had never happened in any other timeline before but everything seemed to go along like normal, except the progression of Fresh and PaperJam's relationship. Now more people have gone missing. Cil, Palette, Incubux, Moonlight and Gradient. Mr. Ink, Coach Error, Mr. Dream and Mr. Nightmare looked really worried over the past month and a half. I decided to get all of the 'nerds' to go over Cora's aunt's house so we could see what was going on. It was getting near my time to RESET and I wasn't sure if I could do that without essential characters in this storyline.
"A-Are you s-sure we should v-visit? S-She may not l-like strangers o-on her d-doorstep," Alphys stuttered out. She seemed scared.
"We have to figure out what happened to Cora and the others. Now that there are seven students missing it's serious." Fresh's fists clenched as he spoke.
"Are you sure you're worried about Cora and not PJ, punk?" A new voice spoke up. We turned around to see Undyne with the 'jocks.' Alphys rushed to her girlfriend and Fresh glared at the taller with an untamable malice.
"What do you mean, Undyne?"
"I mean you're not as good at hiding your feelings as you claim to be. It's obvious you like him."
Fresh rolled his pinpricks. "You sure about that? I hate the guy. I'm only worried about my friends."
"So are we," SkateGirl piped up. "Over half our group is gone and its unsettling."
"At least we don't have Bunny following us around," BurgerPants muttered, taking hold of NiceCreamGuy's hand.
"We followed you punks cause we knew you were planning something. Now are you going to knock on the door or are you just going to stand here like a bunch of idiots?" Undyne wrapped her arm around Alphys' shoulders and pushed past us.
'We were getting to it. Just be patient.' I signed to the jocks. Alphys' translated for me, which I was grateful for.
"Well hurry up then." I shook my head at the basketball player and knocked on the door. All talking on the other side of the aforementioned door ceased, aside from the soft, "Come in."
We opened the door and piled into the living room. The scene before us was certainly a strange one. Almost all of those who were missing were sitting on the couch, aside from the unfamiliar skeleton-human hybrid standing in the corner with a large staff, the teachers that were worried the most were standing against the wall, along with most of their originals and there was one more human than there should have been.
The others made a beeline to their friends but I just stood there with my eyebrows furrowed. The Star Sanses were here, along with the original Error. Why were they here? The unfamiliar human was holding hands with Mr. Nightmare and the unfamiliar skeleton was smiling at them.
"Welcome, everyone. You must be confused so have a seat." The unfamiliar skeleton conjured up extra chairs with her(?) magic. Raven glared softly at the skeleton. "What? We're gonna need Frisk's help anyways. They might as well know everything that's been going on."
After one long, confusing explanation of events, the skeleton, that I guess was Cora, asked me for something I never would have expected.
"Frisk, I need you to RESET."
