I am back and spinnin' the bottle of... I don't know actually?

Did you know that I actually like Chara? Well probably not.. 

(some point in story the it is gonna get REALLY weird when she comes hopping along the bunny trail)

(Y/n)'s POV

"We need a plan.."

The past couple days I was telling Rashaa, Josh, and even Dust all my encounters with Chara, even the strange dream that I had of her! We were also brain storming. We didn't have a plan, no, but we were trying to make one. I was hopeful, determined, and just as much scared. If we do come up with a plan.. will it even work? Dust warned us that Chara is very dangerous, as well unpredictable, and that she doesn't slip up often in her actions. He said that she can be anywhere, watching until the perfect moment to strike her knife into your back. Like a predator and it's prey, once down you won't get back up. Dust even admitted that he doesn't know much about her, except her sadistic tendencies, and her undying, corrupt determination. The thing that was terrifying is that when she dies she always comes back! But then a thought in my mind came along,

'How is she everywhere, if she's never noticed coming?'

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I will asked Dust today...

                                ~

This morning I was looking for Dust, I found him in the kitchen with his hand outstretched near a fork on a table with his eyes closed, seemingly deep in concentration. I watched as his hand glowed with a faint purple fire, and his finger flick up. The fork lying on the tables surface slowly levitated upwards, glowing with a similar flare as Dust's hand. I watched in awestruck. Even though I've seen Dust use his telekinesis magic before, I still will  never get used to how cool it looks. 'I wonder if he can read minds?' I could only inner chuckle at such a thought.
Suddenly the fork fell to the surface of the table. Dust's hand dropped to his sides as he let out a sigh.

"You know, I can't concentrate with your googly-eyes watching me"

Dust said with a small sneer. I jumped slightly. "Sorry- I just..it's kinda cool looking, you know!" I said with my hands slightly up. Dust gives me an owlish look, but he then looks away. "I was practicing.." he said, as if reading my mild question. "My telekinesis is very random, I was hoping to fix it" his multi-colored pinpricks train on me

"I know that when we see Chara, some sort of fight is going to go down, because...unfortunately, I know her enough to tell that she isn't going to go down without a fight" he said balling his skeletal hands into sharp fist.

"Is there any other way?"

"What?"

"I mean, is there any other way that someone innocent won't get hurt"

Dust eyes widened, but then the bright red-blue pinpricks became dim.

"No..I-..I can't tell.."

I nodded slowly. I knew he can't promise no bloodshed, but what can I say? It would be a lie to think that I didn't know what the answer was. I then thought back to why I wanted to see him. "I wanted to ask you something" I said walking up to him till I was in front of him.

"What is it?" He responded cocking a face-bone.

"When you told us that Chara can be anywhere, what did you mean?"

Dust's frown deepens "I thought you would understand," he said. But then his eyes widened as if in realization

"Wait wait, anywhere" he paused, then snapped his fingers with scowl, "how could I be so stupid!?" He said walking quickly out of the kitchen.

I followed him with confusion hazing my mind, "w-what?" I stumbled through my words, surprised by his sudden outburst. He started pacing around really fast in circles, "I got it!" He said with a grin that I only seen a few times. "The stars!" He said almost excited like he was eating the best pancakes.

"The.. stars?" I asked standing at the kitchen doorway dumbfounded.

"I saw them a lot," Dust explains "they are invisible to most monsters, but when my LV grew high enough I started seeing them a lot. How they work is when Chara dies she comes back somehow through a star like object." He said looking back in his memories,

"I remember destroying them as much as I can, but she somehow managed to slip through one that was unnoticed"

Is grin disappeared when he was talking, but then it came back. "I have a feeling that Chara came here through one of those.." he said adjusting his hood which almost fell off with a with a slightly irritated look.

"And if that's the case.." he said struggling slightly with the hood straps,

"then we are going to have to find it" He said finally getting it adjusting it right.

"What are we going to do when we find it?" I asked. Dust gazed at me "that's the thing, there could be multiple of them and it will take forever to find them" he said seriously "and we don't have much time to do that" he answered, I was going to ask him why but then I remembered..

"Or else our universes are going to collide.."

I remember Dust saying that to me when I first figured about what I am. I was scared to hear that but I understand now that there's limited time to stop this. My eyebrows furrowed, that seemed so long ago when I was just like a normal human, living like a normal human. I'm happy to know Dust, and our 'adventures' together.. but I miss feeling like I know what emotions are. I miss a lot of things, really. But I don't miss enough to wish for things to go back to where they were. We got something, a plan. And if even Chara is daring us to come for her, threatens that she's going to take me, thinking that we can't do anything about it! If this makes her thinks twice.. well then,
