Chara was happy at the moment having Asriel firmly cuddling up to her in his fright. Asriel wanted absolutely none of what was going on, and so he took to screaming for the entirety of the trip.

“It's okay Azzy, big tough Chara is here for you…” Chara says softly as she holds him close.

“WE ARE THE SIZE OF TODDLERS!!! HEEEELP!!!!!” Asriel screamed trying to get help. It went about as smoothly as one would expect.

“I promise I'll protect you Azzy.” Chara says continuing to hold Asriel trying her best to comfort him.

Asriel closed his eyes, berating himself for having the mental fortitude of a kicked puppy. He began to take a series of calming breaths until he found himself no longer on the aerial carriage, a pleasant dream gracing his mind.

The princess could only smile, having to school her emotions so as to not seem like an overbearing mother. She was happy, having always wanted children of her own, and looking after these two seemed to fill a void she never knew existed. Chara on the other hand seemed content with the world now that Asriel was cuddling up to her without screaming as she held him close.

“Well at least he's calmed down now.” Chara whispers as she noticed he has gone to sleep. Chara then turns her head to Celestia.

“Sooo~how have you been?” Chara asks as a way to try and get some small talk going.

Surprise struck Celestia hard, a deep tinge of red gracing her cheeks. “O-oh… well, I’ve actually been rather joyful these past few days, the death of Cloak still weighs heavy upon my mind, and being unable to properly tell her lifelong partner Dagger of her passing makes the situation so much harder…” Celestia said.

“Well I'm glad you've been joyful as for myself I've been a little exhausted and I don't know why…” Chara says as she gets a thoughtful look, wondering as to why she's been so tired.

“Is it your hatred? Twilight will be rather thorough in her investigations, so I’m sure everything will be just fine.” Celestia assured.

“It's not my hatred, I know the feeling of something caused by my hatred…” Chara said as she remembered the disgusted feeling she felt every time hatred was used.

“Have you seen a doctor lately? Sometimes, magic won’t always explain away the changes one undergoes as they become older.” Celestia said.

“I'm 10 sunbutt!” Chara says as her face gains a red tint.

Celestia tilted her head in confusion. “You’ve had all your shots? Do you need blood work done? Is there an illness you don’t know about that causes you discomfort?” Celestia actually began to worry herself. “We’ll have to schedule a doctor’s appoint for the two of you, we wouldn’t want a pathogen only native to this world to have any adverse effects on your biology.”

“Bu-but-” Chara tries to get out but is cut off by Celestia.

“No buts, as your guardian it is now my duty to ensure your safety and well being. I’ll be with you every step of the way and I promise to treat you both to something special once all is said and done,” Celestia began to smooth her wings along the children, a smile on her face that told you she could do no wrong.

“When the hell did you become my guardian!? I never agreed to this!” Chara says although she wasn't adverse to the idea… she just didn't like people making her decisions.

Celestia was actually rather taken aback by this. “O-oh… I... I didn’t mean to assume, it’s just… since Asriel was under my care I thought that maybe…”

“Not that I don't mind don't get me wrong, but the least you could have done was ask me!” Chara says feeling a little guilty at making Celestia upset, but she was more angry at the fact she wasn't asked first.

Disheartened, but not deterred, Celestia gave a solemn bow of her head. “Of course, it was rather foolish of me to assume. Would you allow for me to care for you? You would want for nothing, your education would be of the highest degree… you would be touted as nobility if it is something you so desired,” Celestia informed her.

“Sure… but I think nobility is something that should be earned not something that should be guaranteed from birth,” Chara said as she frowned at how many times she had seen nobility act like complete and utter bastards because they were raised as nobility.

As Chara said this, an unseeable happiness welled within Celestia. It almost felt like yesterday that her nephew Blueblood had told her the same thing, making a name for himself upon treacherous waters… coming back a seasoned veteran and an absolute pain in the rear to most nobles… and most commoners.

“Of course, it is a position that requires worth. Determination and undying will will be your closest allies in such an endeavor,” Celestia said, smiling a bit.

“What's the scariest enemy you've ever seen or faced?” Chara suddenly asked trying to get her mind off of nobility.

Celestia looked forward, a blank look upon her face. “It was a hulking behemoth of a demon. Bipedal, blood red, cracked and unruly horns that twisted around themselves. It was a monster in every sense of the word and I was forced to use a forbidden spell to even weaken it… it’s not something I like to remember.”

“Mine would be sans… the skeleton, he may not look like much, but he can summon bones floating skulls that fire lasers and he can control gravity… I can't count how many times he killed me causing me to reload…” Chara said as she shivered at the remembrance of being impaled, vaporized and having her neck snapped.

“What would force you to face such a monster?” Celestia asked, visibly worried at Chasra’s shivering. “Has Asriel had to fight this skeleton?”

“Frisk decided to be a Dick and go on a killing spree while shoving their execution points and level of violence into me so I wasn't thinking straight and by the time Sans rolled around, I took over their body and fought Sans…and then I recreated my own body.” Chara said with guilt written all over her face.

“Frisk?” It was a name that she glimpsed once or twice from the tome of heroes. “Would you be able to tell me more about them?”

“Well they used their powers to manipulate people always rewinding time when they didn't get everything just right, well that was until they committed genocide and faced me. We destroyed the entire timeline and then I forced them to give up their determination to me in order to restore it… after that they somehow tricked the others into thinking I was the bad guy,” Chara explains not wanting to say that she forced them to give up their soul and also trying not to paint themselves in a bad light. “You have to remember, I was corrupted by Frisks level of violence at the time and all I wanted was to make them suffer for killing everyone.” Chara continues.

“I… why would this Frisk wish to be so cruel? To play with the lives of others just seems so… heartless… ” Celestia said as she wondered what would drive such a being to go to such lengths. “What of Asriel in all this? What role does he play in all this?”

“At the time he was a soulless abomination called flowey…” Chara says her face contorting into a look of disgust.

Celestia began to ponder, ‘Was this part of the reason for the disconnect?’ “What happened to him?” Celestia questioned.

“We both died…I clung to my body until Frisk with her red soul woke me up, but Asriel turned to dust and was spread across flowers that were experimented on with determination, a power that humans have which can rewind time to reverse death.” Chara explained. “You see a monster, when it dies, immediately turns to dust and their souls can barely survive outside their body for even a few seconds before they disintegrate. Luckily I was able to take the shell of a red soul and had the other six Souls pour their Essence into it,” Chara continued.

“But there was a problem, wasn’t there?” Celestia said more than asked. Chara nodded her head. “Please, tell me more. Tell me everything.” Celestia pleaded.

“I don't know what's wrong with this Asriel though…the best I could think of was a human was shoved into a monster's body…” Chara says as she didn't know what would happen with a human soul inside of a monster's body without a monster Soul.

And glitchtale didn't count in her opinion as that was a modified human soul.

“Would that explain the translucent blue heart?” Celestia asked, once again bringing up Asriel’s stat screen. The Blue heart now highlighted, and a branch actually connecting to the souls proper. “Oh, when did that happen?”

“Damn it now I know what's wrong, more than one human soul can't survive in a single body without a monster Soul as a medium… hell I'm surprised he hasn't exploded yet,” Chara said as she went off of her undertale knowledge.

Celestia began to think back to when Asriel began his training. ‘Um… I think this is what it’s supposed to look like… maybe. I think I just have to charge it a- OHSWEETLORDWHYDIDITBLOWUP!!?’ Celestia began to recant the tale of Asriel’s first days of training, explaining just how much volatile magic he would bring to bear only for most of his attempts to explode much as Chara said he might have.

“Actually, it was Rose Petal who helped him gain a sense of stability in focusing his power…” Celestia said causing Chara look at her with skepticism.

“Hopefully we can stabilize him before he does blow up, maybe we can get the soul shards to fuse into his other soul…” Chara says trying to throw ideas out there.

“There, Golden Oaks library is just below. Twilight will help you find the answers, of this I hold no doubt,” Celestia said as the pegasi lurched down, startling Asriel from his slumber.

“Mm, no more sword training Rosie…” Asriel began to awaken, rubbing the slumber from his eyes. “Hmm? This isn’t the guards barracks?”

“We're going to Ponyville and we're now landing from are flying sessions after you passed out.” Chara explained as she ruffled his head.

“Aahh… nooo… stop… I’m a grown addled man and I deserve to be treated as such…” Asriel pouted as he still lamented the fact he couldn’t swear. “That sounded so much better in my head.”

“You were a grown man, now you're a tween goat!” Chara says over enthusiastically. ‘and my crush’ She added in her head.

“Nuu… let me adult…” he whined as Celestia picked him up and laid him on her back. “I will have my reveeeeenge………”

“Now now, most stallions would love to relive their foalhoods,” Celestia said with a giggle. The trio made their way to Golden Oaks front door, said door nearly being ripped from its moorings as a frazzled Twilight… greeted them.

“A wild book horse appears~” Chara says before humming the wild Pokemon battle theme.

“PRINCESS!? I’m so sorry for the mess, I thought I would have more time, NOT that I needed more time for-” Twilight’s eyes went wide, as she popped from existence.

“Ohh… why did she have to be crazy…” Asriel complained.

“You do realize every time you point a finger you get three pointed back at you?” Chara says with a smirk.

“I’ll have you know I’m perfectly sane, you people are the crazies…” Asriel mumbled.

“I'm pretty sure you're committing treason by calling the princess crazy… Am I right Sunbutt?” Chara says to Asriel and Celestia respectively.

Celestia giggled, trotting inside and hoping Spike was at least handling things well enough. “It wouldn’t be the first time one of my subjects brought my mental stability into question, and I doubt it will be the last.” She replied.

“Hey you want to play a joke on book horse? I want to see what happens when I call you sunbutt in front of her!” Chara says with a evil grin on her face as she giggles.

“Please don’t be evil… I’m here to get help remember,” Asriel groaned as he began to climb off Celestia.

“Oh come on it will be fun! I'm betting she'll make a goat sound before fainting!” Chara said as she danced on the balls of her feet.

Twilight had popped back into the room, her man straightened out, her eyes calm and focused, and wearing a white lab coat and a pair of goggles.

“So sunbutt is this your student?” Chara said with a unrepentant grin.

Twilight seemed to lose focus for a bit, her eyes going wide and a frightening smile creeping along her face. Her horn began to crackle with electric like currents of magic as an creaking noise escaped her muzzle… before passing out on the floor.

Spike, knowing this would have happened sooner or later, went up to her with a bucket of ice cubes and began pouring them over her. Chara was giggling as she tried her hardest not to fall on the floor laughing.

“Come on Twi, you’ve been through worse.” The drake muttered as his caretaker began to gasp for air.

“Pi is exactly three!!” Twilight screamed, shooting back up. She shook off some of the ice, taking a second to look over the children in her library. “Oh… you must be Asriel and Chara!” She happily declared, looking first to Chara, then Asriel.

“Yep I'm Chara Dreemurr.” Chara said still giggling.

“Hm? Oh, yes of course! Spike? The documents. If you’d both just follow me?” Twilight began to make her way for the basement door.

“... I feel like I'm about to go into a mad scientist laboratory…” Chara said that she tried to put Celestia in front of her.

Asriel only walked forward faster. “Don’t care I need her to fix me,” He said monotonously. Spike gave him a frightened look at how accepting of his fate he was.

“Chara? Why not join Asriel? Twilight can get ahead of herself at times,” Celestia whispered to Chara, worried that she wouldn’t be as willing to go through with whatever tests Twilight had set up.

“I don't want to be poked and prodded!” Chara says quickly as images of horrible experiments being done to her enter her mind.

Celestia chuckled, scooting Chara along. “I’m sure everything will be just fine…”

“SPIKE PREP THE ANALYZER! I’LL BE TAKING A BLOOD SAMPLE NOW!” Twilight yelled from the basement.

“Fuck this shit I'm out!” Chara yells as she tried to run around Celestia and tried to make her way out the door to escape.

“CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SUNDAE!” Celestia yelled once Chara was at the door.

“WHERE!? WHERE IS IT!?!”Chara said as she immediately turned around and started looking around the room before turning a deadpan face to Celestia. ‘I really do need to get these child impulses under control’ Chara thought to herself.

“Weather through the tests, and I’ll take you out to the best pastry shop in Equestria. Please? If not for me, than for chocolate?” Celestia pleaded, using her own puppy dog eyes.

“… I want a free pass to get chocolate everyday…” Chara said trying to get more out of this.

“Rather difficult if you aren’t there to enjoy it, four pieces at the end of the week, as much ice cream as you want every three weeks.”

“As much ice cream as I want at the end of every week and one piece of chocolate a day.” Chara says trying to haggle more out of the princess.

“You are still on probation. Finish the month and we’ll see,” Celestia said with a smile.

“You better be glad I already have training thanks to undyne!” Chara says crossing her arms upset at the reminder of being on probation.

Celestia began to lead the way, curiosity written on her face. “You were trained by the goddess of the sea?” The two found themselves at the mouth of the lab, Asriel strapped to a table and a straining bowl on his head.

“Nope…” Chara said in deadpan tone as she turned her butt around and started heading back up the stairs.

“I wouldn’t mind cuddles tonight!” Asriel called out. This caused Chara to stop for a second as she weighed the options of cuddles or not getting strapped to a table. Chara eventually decided cuddles weren't worth being strapped to a table and continued her ascent up the stairs.

“Hmm, and I was actually gonna consider going to bed half nude... “ Asriel muttered. “So, what’s wrong with me doc?”

An idea crossed Celestia’s mind as she went back to find Chara. “It would be such a shame if Asriel went to bed naked, alone…” Celestia cooed. “But, Rose is rather sweet on him, and ponies don’t usually wear clothing.”

Meanwhile

“Oh, I’m not a doctor. But I have read several volumes on mystical biology, several beasts of the Everfree having a biology quite similar to your own,” Twilight exclaimed rather happily.

“Hmm… well, I guess a voodoo priestess is a lot better than an actual doctor in this case…” Asriel mumbled.

Chara glared at Celestia as she came back down before grabbing onto Asriel. “Mine!” Chara yelled out in a dark voice as her eyes gain the black tint and she held on to one of his arms.

“Char, you’re scaring me,” Asriel muttered with an estranged calm. A ding resounded through the room, Spike coming back with several sheets of data.

“So, we went through your blood work and everything looks normal, but there was something running through your bloodstream that when it was finally isolated, it turned out to be a really strong paralytic.” Spike began to bite at the eraser of a pencil. “You haven’t been eating anything strange have you?” Chara was glaring at anything and everything that was getting near her Asriel.

“Dude, that’s creepy… ” Spike muttered. Another ding went off and Twilight returned with another set.

“You should be dead. How your body hasn’t rejected the magic you produce naturally goes against any and all known theories and laws set forth by the board of archmages… this. This is amazing, and I would LOVE it if you stayed here for further tests!”

Twilight had stars in her eyes as she put her nose on Asriel’s.

“I'm actually more surprised you got blood out of him since most monsters are made mostly of magic…” Chara says before realizing Twilight was close to her Asriel causing her to growl at Twilight “MINE!”.

“Gah!?” Twilight stumbled back and fell upon several wires and mechanisms. “I’m okay!” She called up from the floor.

“Chara, please don’t scare the nice pony trying to fix me. I would like to live,” Asriel pleaded. Spike began unhooking him from the table and began wiping the table with rubbing alcohol. “You wouldn’t happen to have booze on hand would you?”

Spike and Twilight gave him a strange look, slowly shaking their heads. Finally, Twilight motioned for Chara to lie on the metal table. Chara crawled up on the table but she used her determination to make sure Asriel couldn't leave her side.

“Did you have to melt my feet into the ground? My knees are starting to lock up…” Asriel complained. Chara immediately changed it to where he was held next to her by Red ropes of energy. Chara didn't want her Asriel be uncomfortable after all.

“I take it back, I don’t mind aching knees.” Asriel relented as he pulled at the ropes slightly. Twilight, unnerved but not deterred, began to strap several diodes onto Chara’s exposed skin and placed the strainer on her head.

“Now, if you’ll relax, we’ll have a small vial of blood drawn before you can even notice,” Twilight explained as several machines began to blink and whirl. Spike already having slipped a thin butterfly into Chara’s vein.

“She’s warm, same procedure or standard?” Spike asked, hooking the butterfly’s tube to a collector. Chara let out a whimper at the sting of the needle.

“Standard, we won’t need to sedate her for it,” A switch was flipped and blood began to fill a small phial. After about ten seconds, the phial was taken, and the entry point of the needle was cleaned and covered.

“The bloodwork won’t take to long, so, how do you like Equestria so far?” Twilight asked of Chara.

“It's better than being trapped Underground or in a constant time Loop…” Chara says as she pulls on the ropes of determination so that Asriel was right next to her to skin contact levels.

“Chara… this isn’t helping your case…” Asriel muttered, no doubt whatever sedative they used affecting his current state of being

“Mine!” Chara says changing the ropes into a pair of energy arms to hug him close to her.

A ding went off and Spike returned with Chara’s blood work. “Okay, whatever paralytic agent was in Asriel is present in overtly lethal amounts in your blood. What did the both of you do!?” He asked in exasperation.

A second ding echoed, Twilight literally screaming bloody murder as she began to pelt her machines with enough magic to level a small block. “THIS ISN’T REAL! IT CAN’T BE! WHAT KIND OF MONSTER WOULD EVEN-”

Twilight ran up to Chara, worry stricken on her face as she began to undo her straps. “Are you alright!? Are you in any pain? Who… who did this to you!?”

“What are you talking about?” Chara asks not realizing that Twilight was talking about her black soul trait.

“This… darkness… it's so unnatural and…” Twilight gulped, cold sweat forming at her brow. “I doubt even Nightmare Moon would be able to handle this type of magic…”

“TWI! Take a look at this.” Spike called, his claws gliding over Chara’s blood work. “That dark magical signature… it's helping her.”

The two looked over the data, finding that whatever paralytic agent that had been found at the beginning of their data had been cut dramatically by the tail end, having been replaced by lines of data similar to the darkened magic.

“Truly outrageous…” Twilight blanched, a world having been opened to her. One she feared she would have to leave unexplored lest it devour her

“Oh you're talking about the black soul trait, that would be my hatred,” Chara says as she realized exactly what she was talking about. “The Black Soul Trait can only be used by someone with excessive amounts of hate and the red soul of determination.” Chara finished her explanation as she shivered in revulsion.

“That would insinuate you literally being filled with more hatred than any one living organism could ever bring to bear!” Twilight cried as she looked back to her data and then back to Chara. “Who or what could have forced that kind of hatred to well within you?”

“My parents…” Chara says with a quiet voice trying to keep herself from crying at the memories as her grip on Asriel loosened. Chara may not have been the original but she relived the memories of the original so she still hated ‘her parents’ with a passion, besides she naturally had hatred in her.

Twilight took one look at the child, before nuzzling her and running a hoof over her head. Quickly followed by a hug from Spike, which was followed by Celestia who was waiting patiently in the background. Chara didn't protest being hugged by so many people.

Asriel hadn’t much say in the matter as Chara had yet to let him go, not the he would have struggled much in this current situation.

“I'm s-sorry for being s-so weak…” Chara says her voice quivering as she couldn't hold back the tears anymore and she started to cry.

“You aren’t weak shortstack…” Asriel had managed to say, somehow an adult and working against his bindings so his hand could cradle Chara’s face. “Someone weak… would never have even come down here.” Chara tried to look away as her determination arms evaporated.

Finally free, Asriel did the only thing he could think of in this situation, cradle her as he began to sing a calming song, magic forming at his feet and music echoing along the chamber walls. Those present began to lose themselves to the haunting melody, hanging on every note as they felt a calm wash over their minds. Chara cuddled close to asriel as she felt her mind calming.

“Thanks…” Chara whispered to him as she had her face buried in his neck.

He sighed, dispelling his magic. “Everybody gets one.” Twilight and Celestia couldn’t help but look wide eyed at Asriel, the former wanting to keep him for as long as was physically possible.

“Please please PLEASE tell me you’ll let me study you!?” Twilight pleaded at Asriel’s feet.

“Yeah whatever, Doc. So long as you help fix me, we’re golden.” asriel says as Chara holds him closer possessively

Twilight thusly began trotting in place happily while repeating the word ‘Yes’ before zipping over to Princess Celestia. “This could fundamentally change the way we use magic on a cosmic scale!” She thusly took up a fetal position. “What if I do something wrong? What if I end up dooming the world instead!?”

“ that will only happen if you end up touching my erase button which will end up erasing all of time which I will then have to recreate thank you very much…” Chara says really not wanting to have to recreate the universe.

“You mean this button?” ASriel asked, a floating ERASE aloft upon his palm. “It popped out during your breakdown. You should probably keep a tighter leash on that kinda thing.” Chara immediately grabbed the button and crushed it in her hands.

The princess and her student looked at the child, fear quite apparent upon their faces. “She can’t actually destroy existence itself… can she?” Celestia asked, Twilight having clammed up with a twitching eye.

“Chances are, if she can. So can someone else.” Asriel muttered.

“I can't destroy all of existence since the Multiverse is infinite but I can destroy a single timeline…” Chara Whispers as she looks away from them not wanting to see the fearful looks on them. Chara was tempted at that moment to LOAD so they didn't know about it and asriel could see her intentions. Although, he too had no idea as to what she was thinking.

Twilight finally shook herself out of her stupor, looking back to Asriel. “Right well, the decision is yours of course, but it would benefit the world as a whole if you stayed in Ponyville.”

Chara soon pulled up the load button…

“Uh… what’s that one do?” Spike asks, looking to one of Twilight’s busted machines and the button. The former going haywire at the presence of LOAD.

Twilight and Celestia begin to back away from the button. “That can’t…”

“It is.” Celestia began to form a barrier around her student and herself. Clocks running along the film of said barrier. “Chronological manipulation…”

Asriel tossed Chara into the air, a bit of his magic slowing her descent. “I’m out.” He stated as crawled into the bubble around Celestia, Twilight, and now Spike. Well as soon as Chara hit the button Celestia felt a ungodly amount of strain on her barrier nearly shattering it instantly before Twilight added her own magic into the mix both of them having to tap into the sun and the elements respectively.

The haphazard squad found themselves in an undisturbed laboratory, nothing had been destroyed, no data collected, it was as if nothing had ever happened…

“I don’t want to get molecularly disassembled!” Twilight cried, her eyes shut tight. Both she and Celestia looked worse for wear, sweat dripping off of them, and Spike clinging to both for dear life.

“Drop the bubble.” Asriel said more than asked. “We’re stable.”

The bubble began to fade, Twilight holding her breath, fearing the repercussions that time travel would surely smite her with.

When no smiting came, she opened her eyes and took in a large breath of air. “This is unreal…” Princess Celestia whispered in awe. “It’s…”

“It’s annoying as hiffle. I have to go say bye to Rose, see you two in a bit.” Asriel said with a two finger salute as he walked into a rift.

“Wait!” Both she and Twilight shouted, the latter shrinking and blushing in embarrassment. Asriel stopped, halfway back to his room.

“We don’t know when in time we are. Give me a moment to locate ourselves.” Celestia asked as she began her temporal search.

So the four waited in silence, neither wishing to say nor do anything that may or may not rupture the sensitive fabric that was time itself. “I… see. If you would, could you retrieve Cloak? This was the day you would have ventured to Old Town.”

“I might actually be able to get something out of her this time, but it won’t change the fact that she was dead when I get… when I got? Frumpet berried time travel…” Asriel spat as he left for his quarters in Canterlot.

“What were we even doing today?” Spike asked, much to the confusion of all those present.

Chara was panicking as she didn't see Asriel or Celestia as she looked around hoping to all hope that she didn't fuck up the time stream. Chara was looking around the room having a mental breakdown as her heart felt like it was tearing into at the thought of killing asriel.

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!” Chara chanted to herself as she tried to figure out what was wrong as she turned the room upside down.

Popping on top of Chara’s head was a note, a wax seal of the sun tying it together.

Chara,

Asriel may be somewhere in the castle, he should be with you momentarily

Chara was at first grateful that she didn't erase a few people from time then she became truly fearful as she realized that whatever Shield Celestia put up made it where she wasn't affected by the load and that would mean neither Twilight Spike or asriel would be affected either.

“Okay I need to get out of here I need to disappear…” Chara whispered as she started planning on disappearing although it tour at her heart leave asriel.

A rift opened behind Chara, asriel peeking in. “Come on, we have a job to do.” He said with a bit of disinterest, once again a child. Chara turned around fearfully not saying the word hoping Beyond hope that he didn't remember.

“Today’s the day we pick up Cloak, try not to absorb her body this time.” He teased with a small grin as he offered his hand.

“So you remember?”Chara asks with a whimper as her Hope begin to dissolve much like the future Corpses.

“You want in or not? I can come back later if you need time to think.” He offered, not at all angered he was almost lost to time.

“…you didn't answer my question…” Chara Whispers as she slowly walks up to his portal although she didn't need the answer she just wanted confirmation.

“Not obvious enough for you? Yes I remember. You okay?” The two stepped into Old Town, the rift slowly fading away.

“So the others remember too.” Chara said as a statement as running away looked really really good at the moment as she started channeling that fear into her hatred.

“Probably? Are you sure you don’t need time to think? I can do this one on my own and wow I am way to calm for someone who almost died…” Asriel closed his eyes and took a deep breath, waiting about ten seconds before taking another breath. “Okay… not freakin’ out…”

Asriel took point as he looked down the aisle of the alley Cloak was in. “Ready?” He asked.

How to charge just poured the black soul train into the alley not feeling like dealing with the zombies before asriel could even enter the alley.

“I'm not dealing with fucking zombies!” Chara screams her hatred at herself and at the fact that more of her powers were exposed only enhanced the power of her hatred even more. By the end of it even the buildings were half-melted and absorbed as they promptly collapse after the hatred started moving back into Chara.

“Woah! Overkill much!? You almost got Cloak again…” Asriel muttered as he managed to save the dearly departed from once more becoming mulch.

“I didn't even know I had that much hatred!” Chara yells out at before shuttering as she feels the hatred leech back into her body.

Elsewhere…

“Dude that’s creepy.” Spike stated as he munched on some popcorn, Celestia and Twilight doing their best to hold in their lunch.

“Princess… just what is that…” Twilight asked in cold sweaty fear.

“Hatred, dear student. Pure Hatred…”

The Alley…

“Chara, give me a hug.” Asriel commanded more than asked. Chara soon was wrapping her arms around him still shuttering as the hatred settled.

“Who’s my little ball of rage?” He cooed while running his fingers through her hair.

“Me…”Chara said with a whisper as she really didn't like being a ball of rage and hatred.

“Who’s my little chocolate fiend?” He continued, still playing with her hair, even going so far as to braid it at certain sections.

“Me…” Chara Whispers again enjoying the cuddling and not minding having her hair braided.

“Who doesn’t like the fact I have female friends…” He groaned out. Still playing with Chara’s hair. Chara growled as she remembered Rose.

“Ready to go back to Celestia? She’s worried sick you might have hurt yourself.” Asriel asked finally letting go.

“They're going to have a lot of questions for me aren't they…” Chara Whispers more as a statement than a question to Asriel.

“Not if you don’t want them to. They understand we aren’t from this world, but they also worry. About what our being here means to their existence as a whole, to what being here might or has done to us…” Asriel opened a rift back to Twilight and Celestia, Spike having come back down with a box of popcorn.

The trio looked at them, curiosity written upon them. “I don’t know about you short stack,” Asriel hefted Cloak, once again an adult and shirtless. “But I happen to have liked being an adult.”

He was halfway through when he stretched out his arm. “You comin’?”
