Y/N's POV:
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Splash is... Dead?! But how can that be?! It's not humanly possible! It's not real! It's- it's gotta be a joke-.... Right...? I decided not to push the subject any further, trying not to cause any discomfort. But... I can't NOT worry about them or anything..! They're my friend (hopefully) and just learning this?? It's sca-

Mx. Y/N? Can you please answer the question on the board?" Mr. Gaster, my science teacher cut the ties I had with my thoughts and reality. Looking up at the board, I see a fill in the gap question with a word bank underneath. "Oh...! Um..." (time to think up of a simple ass equation and shit) "Volume is different than mass because of the equations used to get such answers." (Oh god I feel and know this is wrong and skdhakdnwk) "That's correct!" (No it's not Gaster. You can't lie to me.) I was panicking because the question caught me off guard but I got past it. But I guess my breathing wasn't normal or something because PJ (omg I forgot PJ and you were supposed to be the main characters in this I'm sorry-) tapped me on the shoulder and whispered "Hey, I noticed you were breathing unevenly. Everything alright?" I look at him with worried eyes. "I'll take that as a no." He raised his hand and sorta shouted. "Mr. Gaster? I need to go to the nurse. And Y/N also said they need to go. They're saying they're having a 'terrible headache' or whatever." What PJ said kinda startled me. What? What is he doing?? Is he- oh-... But why was he concerned then all of a sudden cold against me..? Maybe to keep his social status up..? Not bring it down because he's around a nerd like me..?  Either way, it's obvious he wanted to talk alone. "Aright then... You two can go together I trust? No casualties to be had?" He shakes his head and I slightly shake mine. "Then please go." PJ grabs my arm and drags me out of the classroom and I feel a bit of heat coming from my face. Realizing I'm blushing, I tug my arm away after we leave the classroom. ".... I assume we're not going to the nurse." I abruptly stated. He seemed to be caught off guard cause he flinched a little before turning around. "You're a sharp one. But... Why did you look worried earlier..?" He tried placing a hand on my cheek but I gently push it away with the back of my hand. "... I.. I found out my friend is dead... But... They're still... Alive..?" He looked at me in a bit of shock and confusion.

PJ's POV:
What.
Who- what- how- are they like that napstablook kid or- Y/N continues "And... I just... I only found out today... And it's scary enough to know your friend is dead but having to see them almost every day? I don't know what to do or how to do it... I'm scared PJ..!" They come over and hug me as they silently cry. I don't know what to do at first but I eventually pat their back before hugging back. "I'm scared..." "Shhh... It's ok... It's fine." They look up at me with tears in their eyes, and I wipe em off. "You know you don't look pretty when you're sad... Right?" I accidentally blurt out. Shit! They're gonna think I'm a total weirdo! "What..?" I started panicking "Nothing- nothing!" Dearest Toby Fox, please have mercy on me. I don't want to be suspicious. Their eyes seemed to get heavy as they whimper "I'm... Getting sleepy... Can we actually go to the nurse and try to convince her to let us out...? Almost without hesitation, I answer "Oh yeah sure! Definitely." So I pick them up properly before bolting towards the nurse's office. Once I get in, I start screaming. "Nurse Toriel! Y/N randomly started coughing up echo flower petals in class! What's going on?!" As I held them in my hands, I used a bit of magic and created an illusion of echo flower petals to make the situation seem real. Nurse Toriel turns around to see a pale, sicken Y/N with echo flowers scattered around them, dripping onto the floor. The nurse took Y/N from my hands and checked their temperature. Wow. They must be really good at acting to look so pale. "This isn't good... PJ? I'm gonna call your parents letting you know that you'll be staying at Y/N's house for a while. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" I shake my head "No ma'am!" She nods her head and smiles at me. "You're a kind kid PJ. Now, I'll tell Mr. Gaster you two have been sent home early due to... Some circumstances." As I hear that I get scared before I again blurt out "No that's fine! I can tell him on the phone!-" She looks at me with slight shock covered on her face before she gives a gentle smile. "Alright then, I trust you know more about this situation than I do." She hands me the school phone and I hear a single ring before it picks up. "Hello? Who is this?" "This is PJ, and... The nurse said that Y/N and I are to go home... Apparently, they're starting to cough up echo flower petals..." There was a moment of silence before... "That's not good. That's not good at all. Alright then, you two are excused from class. I'll have one of your parents pick up your and Y/N's homework." "Yes sir..." I hang up and smile at the nurse before leaving the room, and shortly after, the school.


Y/N's POV:
As all of the events happened in the nurse's office, I felt a bit sick. Not like the acting, I was doing, but actually sick. My face turns pale and as the nurse is checking my temperature, I start to think about what PJ's done for me in the past few days. Sure, he's been a dickhead and all that but... He's also kind... He helped me get out of class and heck! He and his friends stopped bullying me now! Maybe I could even call us friends..! Or best friends! Or even..!

No... Don't get ahead of yourself. He won't. But I say it anyway. "I love you PJ..." The nurse looks at me after she's finished taking my temperature and whispered "You really like him that much, don't you?" I jump a bit in shock but regret it immediately. The pain that was inside my stomach grew and grew, blowing me up like a balloon until...

I puked. I didn't really but... I did cough up multiple flower petals. Not just any either. Echo flowers. Was PJ going this far as to make me actually cough up petals? No, he can't do that... Right..? My last moment of vision was PJ picking me up, saying something on the phone. I couldn't hear what because there was an annoying ringing sound spreading through my ears. It sounded like high pitched church bells ringing constantly. I then blacked out.

I couldn't tell what happened after that but, when I woke up, I was outside of my house, as PJ searched for my keys. "P... J...?" He looks at me and gives a worried face. "Oh good, you're awake. I stopped the magic petals, and I got us out! You have your keys on you...? The nurse said I have to take care of you for the rest of the day. I nod before pointing to my bag "In the top small pocket should be my keys." He searches said spot and soon enough, he found the keys, opened the doors, and walked me inside. I still felt that sick feeling planted in my stomach. Before long, I was coughing up more petals than I could imagine. PJ got worried. "Hey Y/N? You can stop the acting now..! I'm sure I stopped using magic as soon as we got into the car..." I kept on coughing. "Y/N..? It's alright..! You can stop now..!" I kept coughing, and coughing, and coughing. "Y/N? C'mon friend! It's alright! You can drop the act! We're home!" A little bit of blood stains my hands and the petals as more fall out. "Y/N? Y/N?! Y/N!" I blackout once again.
