Chapter 149

Micro growled as he heard what happened in the dream world.

“First my mom and then he attacks you in your dreams!? For crying out loud it’s us he is after, not anyone else!”

“Calm down,” Chara said, putting a hand on his shoulder. “You know he is just trying to get to you like this. Likely he wasn’t even expecting you to lose to either of these attacks. He probably just wanted you pissed off enough to get you to do something stupid like attack him directly, which you know we aren’t powerful enough to do yet.”

Software watches as her son fumes a bit before closing his eyes and calming down. It must be that Mind ability he told her about. When his breathing evens out, Micro speaks.

“Mom, you already have the key. Anytime you feel danger is about or even just have a slight off feeling, I want you to enter Sanctuary. At this point, I’m going to work with Sombra to design something to monitor the dream world to make sure nothing attacks. If that doesn’t work then we need to have everyone sleep in the Sanctuary.”

“Micro,” Software said. “Please. Give yourself time to relax a little. Everyone is safe for now. Doing anything now will either result in rash action or mistakes.”

“Well what am I supposed to do?” Micro sighed.

“Well for one,” Chara starts, an amused smirk on her face. “You could let your more fun loving side out and try to let some of that calm you down.”

Software looked at the two in confusion as Micro chuckles.

“You really want to add that to the mind fuckery that mom is going through today.”

“Micro.”

“For crying out loud mom I’m fighting for my life, is swearing really the biggest issue right now?”

“No but it is one I can actually chastise you for. Now what exactly does Chara mean by your fun loving side.”

Micro and Chara exchange a look and Micro stands up. Right before her very eyes, her son’s hair lengthened to his shoulders and under the button up shirt she saw breasts grow from non-existent to nearly straining the buttons. Once the changes are done, the clothes change to a black spaghetti strap top that shows off her (?) stomach and dark blue skirt.

“M...Micro?”

“Actually,” the girl says. “I go by Perl. Technically I’m Micro’s more feminine aspects but I kinda developed my own mind and thoughts and… you know it’s too complicated to explain.”

THUMP

Perl and Chara look at Software’s unconscious body and Perl pouts.

“I wanted to spend some mother daughter time with her…”

Chara just bursts out laughing.

“So,” she said once she caught her breath. “How is Micro doing? Is he calming down a bit?”

“Well he is laughing at what just happened,” Perl said, still pouting. “But he is still trying to think of something to stop this sort of thing from happening again. Currently he is trying to think of how to make .exe programs from Megaman Battle Network to enter the dream world through the machine.”

“That could work,” Chara said. “Have some posted at everyone’s door and possibly have others searching around for other Gamers.”

“Ughhh,” Software groans as she sits up. “What just…”

Looking over she sees Perl smiling at her. With shaky legs she stood up and walked over to her...daughter? Perl blushes and shifts nervously.

“I know technically I’m not your daughter. But I have all the same memories as Micro and so I feel the same way and-“

Software pulls her into a hug and smiles.

“There are some things I’ve wanted to do with a daughter I know Micro wouldn’t like,” she said. “So… want to have a spa day sometime?”

Perl felt tears come to her eyes and she hugs Software back tightly.

“I’d like that...wouldn’t mind getting a massage from Shiro.”

Software pulls back and looks at Perl who is blushing and rubbing the back of her head.

“Yeah,” Chara smirks. “Perl here started making moves on him. Guess he’s collecting the set. Maybe that’s something you two can do together.”

Perl and Software both blush and Perl turns to Chara with a pout.

“Chara! Don’t ruin my first day with my mom! Do you bond with Asriel like that?”

“No, but I know he got a good look at you.”

Chara laughed as she darted out of the kitchen, Perl hot on her heels. Software didn’t know whether to be concerned that apparently a boy had seen Perl naked, the fact that she seemed to have a crush on a boy Software herself had fun with in the past, or all the other shit that she found out in the past couple hours.

After a moment's thought, she decided that she wasn’t going to focus on the things she can’t control. Right now, she essentially had a second kid, and a daughter at that. She loves Micro, and doesn’t regret a single aspect of her life. But there always was a part of her wondering what life would be like with a daughter instead.

With a smile, she checks her work schedule.

“Perl! Chara! How about after Micro is done at school we all hit the spa?”

She heard the two girls pause in their chase to shout out in agreement to that plan before resuming. Software just sighs and begins thinking of how she could explain Perl if anyone asks.
