*But it hasn't even been a day! How- (for)

Frisk: "The timelines Chara...but mostly one timeline."

*You move onward.

Frisk: "In the first timeline we'd chosen to spare everyone as our route. Freeing the underground. And living merrily for years."

*...You move onward. The city you pass is empty. No bells, no melody, only silence remains...is that how the underground was? Devoid of life-

Frisk: "No! Chara it was...it was beautiful. B-because the underground's chains had been overcome! Because Monsters could finally see the setting sun. Our departure was full of hopes and dreams! With the city singing for our ascension out of the dark! It...it...."

Frisk: "Please... if you must take one thing from my words then take this...we were happy Chara."

*...Were

Frisk: "...For 7 years. Chara, we had jobs! Friends you've never met. Suzy, Noela, even bird-face was fun to bully."

*We bullied people?!

Frisk: "Didn't I tell you we were jocks? Kinda hard not to be when you're the ambassador of Monsterkind and as good-looking as me. Plus, we went to monster school, so it was kinda inevitable."

*Why would that be relevant?

Frisk: "Monster schools were just renovated abandoned schools of humanity, so they used the same equipment. Which meant similar physical activities. Including sports. And when half the class lacks two good arms or legs...well you have a tad of an advantage."

*I see...still stuck on the bullying part.

Stolen story; please report.

Frisk: "Blame it on Suzy, she kept calling it that because she's edgy, but it was more like...frenemies or some shit! Oh right, Suzy! Trust me Chara that girl is WILD! Like, this one time I told Suzy 'Yo, I bet you can't complete the decoupled pancake challenge' and she was like 'bet.' Then she did the challenge...two times in a ROW! We ended up getting kicked out after Suzy vomited all over the table."

*What?

Frisk: "Alright fine, I admit it. Maybe me licking off the vomit to try to complete the-"

*Please stop, you're going to make me sick.

Frisk: "Ha, Noela said the same thing when I told her about it. I think that's why she was your favorite."

*Favorite?

Frisk: "Well it's not surprising that two sticks in the mud would get along."

*There is a difference between being a stick in the mud and supporting...whatever nonsense you shove up your mouth.

Frisk: "Pff, that just proves my point! Noela said the same thing! Well, minus the impoliteness. I swear that girl couldn't take any spice in her life. I mean she rejected my request to be mean girls together!"

*Mean girls? I thought you were a jock.

Frisk: "Hey! I can terrorize the field while giving nerds wedgies AND flirt with those same nerds while comparing fingernail colors!"

*W-wait, so you...walked up to some bookish monster, gave them a wedgie, then started flirting...while showing off your fingernails?

Frisk: "What? No! I didn't literally do that, it was an example for goodness' sakes! Like, come on! Use your brain Chara! I was the ambassador of Monsterkind, you think I could go around hurting people for fun?"

*But eating someone's vomit isn't crossing the line?

Frisk: "...I never said I was a proper ambassador, but I was a good one. Or who do you think suggested and advocated for the idea of using abandoned schools in the first place when humanity began getting stingy? And honestly, that was easy compared to the headache me and Alphys went through trying to figure out how to get an airplane to fit in a classroom or a walking volcano to not destroy the entire building. Hmm, I remember it so clearly. That was the time I realized...'Yeah, I'd rather become a hobo than a scientist or engineer.' "

*A bit extreme don't you think?

Frisk: "Hardly, I was much better at politics and sports than I ever was in any hard maths."

*I mean, STEM jobs are really the most secure fields. No buts or ifs, just numbers that when broken down-

*Your groan is ridiculously loud.

Frisk: "We've had this conversation like 23 times or some shit. Just let it rest."

*Oh...I see.

Frisk: "...That's all beside the point though. The point is...we'd reached our happily ever after...so when I laid on my bed full of pie and good vibes? Well... the last thing I expected was to wake up back at the same Flower Bed that we first met in."

Frisk: "7 years I'd lived with all those wonderful people...and in a day I'd watch them all die. That was the route chosen for the second timeline." (our)
