Are we there yet. The bored voice grumbled. The flower groaned and rolled his eyes.

No, please shut up. He retorted in his mind.

Now you may be confused about what's happening. Now here's the thing. Asriel can't exactly help you with that, he still didn't know what was happening.

Hopefully, that makes sense.

But what he did know was ever since he woke up as a Flower this... voice was there. At first, he called it his 'inner demons' that just came without the barrier of a SOUL to hold it back, but then when the... bad timelines came around, the voice grew louder and louder. Eventually, he couldn't deal with ignoring it and just learned to listen to what it said.

He also named it Flowey. Because.

Well hurry up, we haven't got all day Azzy-boy.

Flowey, for crying out loud, we'll freeze to death.

When did that stop us?

When we had control of the timeline we could go back if we died in the cold. Now Chara has control and anything we do is final.

Chara just did a RELOAD. If we cause him to do it again we'll be fine.

How the heck. Are we supposed to force a RELOAD. IF WE'RE DEAD!

I have no idea, you're the brains of us 2.

This was fairly normal between the flower and the voice in his head. Neither of them knew what they were doing at every given point of time, Asriel was just very good at pretending he knew what he was doing.

Ok, I get your point. No reloads once we die.

Or if we make a mistake

Or that. Fine. Then what do we do?

Not something stupid

Trust me. We know ourselves well enough. We're going to do something stupid whether you like it or not.

Asriel let out a soft chuckle hearing Flowey say that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frisk was confused to a whole new level. First, her only friend in this kill or be killed world didn't want her to SPARE Sans. Sans was an annoying skeleton who told way too many puns in her mind. Second Chara FORCED HER TO KILL PAPYRUS. Who is too sweet and innocent to be hated.

So what was wrong? Was she a... Bad Friend? What did she do wrong?

And now Chara doesn't even trust her? Great. She did nothing wrong! All she wanted to do was help people and monsters, and Chara was first on her list. She would do anything to help her friends.

She didn't know if this was a strength or a weakness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asriel groaned Snowdin was definitely colder then it was before. His small flower body shivered against his will. He felt Flowey grumbling from inside of his head. Something about freezing to death.

I told you so!

The tiny flower kept popping up at intervals, sometimes staying underground to warm up, to look for Chara. He remembered why he hated Snowdin so much now.

Maybe we should wait until he goes to Waterfall?

Asriel, stop being a cry baby, we're finding Chara whether YOU like it or not.

The flower grumbled. He hated not being in control of his own life

I heard that!

Yup. Painful. Especial since Flowey can't respect his privacy, he's loud and annoying, and all he does is talk about Chara and...

Shut up!

Asriel cracked a small grin.

I'm just teasing you, mostly.

Mostly.

The flower went back under the ground and popped up a bit later.

"Chara, where are you," The Flower said, not caring who saw him. I mean, everyone was dead anyways, well almost everyone. The Smiley Trashbag was still alive. He shuttered a bit more. Oh boy, how he hated snow! It's cold, it gets all over his petals, and it reminds him about playing in the snow with Chara and Sans so long ago. Snow abso-lu-tely sucks. He summoned a few vines to surrounded him, blocking out the wind and snow, but restricting his vision, but hey! He couldn't freeze to death anymore!

...He learned by experience that it wasn't a fun way to die.

Until he felt a sharp tug from his vines and heard the familiar tug of blue magic humming through the air.

"heya weed,"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frisk stopped pacing an hour ago, but her footprints still left dusty prints in the snow. Now she was 'chilling' there, waiting for Chara to come out of his 'rage' mode. She had no idea how he got into this and didn't exactly want to know. He just kinda stared off into space for 20 minutes then acted like he just killed his Mother. And now Frisk was stuck waiting. She groaned as she stretched her back.

"I'm going to go break into the inn, tell me when you're ready to move on," Frisk groaned and she left. She saw Sans to her left talking to... someone, but she didn't care enough to go check on him. She kicked the door down of the inn, because. And walked into a room, also because. She flopped down on a bed for a few minutes before getting up, at full HP. She sighed and giggled about the wonders of magic. She got up and walked back. Sans was gone..? Whatever.

"Chara I'm back," Frisk said flopping down onto a pile of snow she formed earlier for this purpose.

"Oh... Hi," Chara said, as glum and blank and before. "I guess we can continue now,"

"Are you sure you don't want to wait?" Frisk questioned, "You still don't feel that.. stable,"

"I'm fine, see?" Chara said while flashing an obviously fake smile.

"If you say so," Truth to be told, Frisk didn't want to stay here much longer either. "If you need a break, preferably somewhere warmer, please let me know,"

"If I needed a break, I could leave you. You know that, right?" Chara stated, frown taking up his features again.

"I know, but you're too nice to do that much more," Frisk responded with a smirk.

"You caught me there, Friend."
