UNDERTALE (Starring Twilight)by The_One_LlamaChapters"Howdy! I'm Flowey."The Ruins Pt 1.The Ruins Pt 2."Howdy! I'm Flowey.""AAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH!" screamed Twilight, as she fell through a giant hole, plummeting to her certain death. But, my friends, the story is not over, so our main character must stay alive. Before we start this amazing tale, I think it is fair if I tell you how Twilight fell down a huge hole. Twilight is currently the headmaster of a very prestigious school of friendship. She was told that a student had wandered off into the forest during a scavenger hunt. Twilight raced to the forest to try and find the missing student. She did not. What she did find was a very big hole. She wondered if the student had fallen down the hole, and had tried to tie a rope to herself and to a nearby rock so she wouldn't fall. The rope was not strong enough to hold the princess, so it snapped, and Twilight fell into the hole. I would like to say that no ponies were injured during the adventure, and the lost student is alive and well. Everyone caught up? Good. Let's get back to the story. "Where the HECK am I?" asked Twilight, a female pony. As Twilight picked herself up and looked around, she noticed how she landed on little Golden Flowers. "Wow," she said, to no one in particular. "That was quite the fall." She started to walk around, taking in every small detail of the small room she was in. "Hello?" Twilight yelled into the distant corridor. As she walked farther into the room, she noticed another Golden Flower. This flower was bigger than the flowers she landed on, but not by much. As she got closer to the flower, she realized that the flower had a face. "Howdy!" the flower said, smiling at Twilight. "I'm FLOWEY. FLOWEY the FLOWER!" Twilight took a gasp at the flower, as it wasn't every day you saw a talking flower. "Golly, you must be so confused!" observed Flowey. "Someone ought to teach you how things work around here! I guess little old me will have to do." Twilight gasped again, as a heart magically appeared in front of her. "See that Heart?" Flowey asked, nodding his head at the heart. "That's your Soul, the very culmination of your being!" "Well can you please put it back INSIDE my body?" Twilight asked, a little desperately. "Of course friend!" Flowey said, winking at Twilight. "But your soul is so weak, if I tried touching it, it might snap! Don't worry, your old pal Flowey will make it stronger!" Flowey then summoned little white pellets, and they hovered above him. "Down here," Flowey said, "the way we make Souls stronger, is by adding LV to them. What does LV stand for, you ask? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some Love, don't you?" Twilight was still too startled to talk. Did she hear him right? Her SOUL could snap if he was not careful? "These," Flowey added, nodding to the mysterious pellets around him, "are called Friendliness Pellets. On my mark, I'm gonna send them to you, and I want you, using your soul, to try and collect as many as you can. Ready, GO!" True to his word, Flowey started sending the pellets at Twilight. Twilight was getting more and more suspicious of this flower every minute, so rather than collecting the pellets as Flowey had said, she jumped out of the way. "Hey, Buddy," Flowey said, losing his happy face just a little. "You missed them. Don't worry, I'll give you some more." Flowey then sent more bullets Twilights way, and she once again dodged them. "Are you dumb?" Flowey said, getting more aggressive. "I can't make this ANY simpler! Run. Into. The. Bullets!" Flowey sent even more at Twilight, and these ones were MUCH faster. "Now I know something is up," Twilight thought. "He wouldn't be this persistent if he was harmless." Once again, she dodged the bullets. Flowey then lost it. "YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE DON'T YOU?" he shrieked, surrounding Twilight with the bullets. "YOU JUST WANTED TO WATCH ME SUFFER, DIDN'T YOU? WELL, I GOT NEWS FOR YOU PAL!! THIS ISN"T YOUR WORLD, I MAKE THE RULES, ME!! IN THIS WORLD, IT IS KILL OR BE KILLED!!" Flowey started making the bullets surrounding Twilight close in on her. Twilight tried to squeeze in as much as she could, but the bullets were getting closer, and closer, and... Suddenly the bullets vanished. Flowey's maniacal face disappeared and was replaced with a confused one. "What?" Flowey asked. Suddenly, a fireball appeared to Flowey's right and knocked him out. An elderly female popped into view, with a sympathetic look on her face. She was much taller than Twilight and wore purple robes with a crest Twilight didn't recognize on the front of it. The thing that shocked Twilight the most was her face though. This woman was a Goat! "What a miserable creature, torturing such innocent youth." the weird creature said. She then turned to Twilight and said "Do not be afraid my child. I am Toriel, the caretaker of the Ruins. I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down. You are the first pony to come here for a long time. Come! I will guide you through the catacombs." Twilights soul was placed back into her body. She looked around, still startled by the Flower's rage. Her thoughts were interrupted by Toriel, who coughed to get Twilight's attention. "This way!" she said, and with that, she quickly left the room. It took Twilight a few seconds to recover. She was shook after the events, but still, she was alive. She took another look around the room she was in, or, as Toriel called it, the Ruins. After everything that had happened, she just had one question. "Where the HECK am I?" she repeated, to no one in particular. Still being cautious of her surroundings, she started to follow Toriel. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2? Maybe? Let's see how popular this one gets. Author's Note This is my first story, and it is based on the popular game Undertale. Please no hate in the comments, I know it isn't perfect to the Undertale Storyline, but I hope you enjoy it! The Ruins Pt 1.Twilight continued to follow Toriel, unsure of where she is being taken. Twilight is being very cautious of Toriel, as just moments ago, she was betrayed by another monster that appeared harmless and friendly. She noticed that as she moves on in the corridor, the rooms get a little brighter, despite there being no source of light. Twilight follows Toriel up a flight of stairs, and into what seems to be the Ruins. It looks like a dark, stone house, that holds much mystery inside. Twilight follows Toriel inside and then stops to see six stone buttons on the ground in front of her. "Welcome to your new home, innocent one." Toriel says, with a warm smile on her face. "Allow me to educate you in the operation of the ruins." While Toriel begins to walk on the buttons in a certain pattern, Twilight starts processing what Toriel had just said. "My new HOME?" Twilight thought, taken aback. "I just met you, and you are telling me I am living here now?" When Toriel was done stepping on the buttons, she flipped a lever on the wall, opening the door next to it. Turning to Twilight, she said, "The Ruins are filled with Puzzles. Ancient fusions between diversions and doorkeys. One must solve them to move from room to room." With that, Toriel walked out of the room, and into the next. As Twilight followed Toriel into the next room, she adjusted her brain to the info she had just heard. "In order to progress from room to room," she thought, starting to make sense of this info, "I need to complete a task. The more tasks I complete, the quicker I can leave this place." Twilight then thought of all her friends back home. Spike, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity. Thinking of her friends, and thinking of getting back home to them, filled her with a strange feeling. The thought of all her friends back home, and how they would probably be looking for her by now, made Twilight realize all the more now that she needed to get home. She was filled with DETERMINATION, and continued on her path, feeling more confident than before. Toriel was waiting for her on the other side of the room. "To make progress here," she said, flashing another warm smile. "You will need to trigger several switches. Do not worry, I have labeled the ones that you need to flip." And with that, she started walking again. Twilight followed the path until she saw two different levers. The first one had three yellow arrows pointing at it, while the other stood alone. Twilight also noticed that the path to the next room was blocked by spikes. Trusting Toriel's advice, Twilight flipped the switch that Toriel pointed out. As soon as she flipped it, the spikes disappeared into the ground. "Splendid!" Toriel beamed, her smile growing bigger. "I am proud of you little one. Let us move to the next room." Once again, as soon as she was done speaking, she left the room. Twilight stayed behind for a second, just to see what would happen if she had flipped the other switch. As she attempted to flip the other lever, she discovered that the other lever didn't even work! "Huh," Twilight said, despite there being no one around to hear her. "I wonder if the rest of these puzzles will be any harder." With that, she quickly hurried into the next room. When Twilight entered the next room, she noticed something was off. Instead of there being a puzzle or a daunting task she had to overcome, there was nothing but a harmless little dummy, standing upright in the room. "As a pony living in the underground," Toriel said, becoming serious, "monsters may attack you. You will need to be prepared for this situation. However, worry not! The process is simple. When you encounter a monster, you will enter a fight. When you are in a fight, strike up a friendly conversation. Stall for time. I will come to resolve conflict. Practice talking to this dummy." Twilight walks up to the dummy and looks at it. Suddenly, she entered the "fight" as Toriel called it. It wasn't much of a fight in Twilight's opinion, as the dummy was completely defenseless. "So, uhh, Mr. Dummy, how was your day today?" Twilight asked the dummy feeling stupid. "Read any good books lately?" Despite nothing happening, Toriel is quite pleased with the outcome. The fight ends, and Twilight's soul goes back into her body. "Ah, very good, yes very good indeed!" Toriel beamed. Without saying anything else, she left the room once again. Twilight looked at the dummy, and then at the open gateway in which Toriel had just entered. Twilight, who was getting used to the process, quickly followed Toriel into the next room. When Twilight entered the next room, there was nothing but a paved floor. "This way child!" Toriel called from the other side of the room. When Twilight began to make her way across the room, out of nowhere, a Frog-like monster jumped at her. Twilight was startled as a new fight began. The Frog-like creature seemed pretty harmless, but Twilight knew better than to judge a monster by its looks after her encounter with Flowey. Twilight, who was in no mood to fight, instead took Toriel's advice and made conversation with the Frog. "So, Mr. Frog," Twilight said, making eye contact. "Did you catch the weather report for the day?" The Frog-like monster turned it's head to the side, showing obvious confusion. But before anything else happened, Toriel stepped forward and gave the Frog a cold stare. The Frog stopped what he was doing, and fled. Just like that, the fight was over. "I am terribly sorry you had to witness that, my child." Toriel said apologetically. "I'm afraid not everyone in this place is as friendly as I am." After walking a little more, Twilight and Toriel cam to a huge row of spikes. "This is the puzzle." Toriel said, pointing at the many rows of spikes. "I will guide you through the safe path. Just do everything I do." Toriel immediately began walking through some of the spikes. Twilight noticed that when Toriel stepped on certain spikes, those spikes would disappear, and allow a person to safely walkthrough. After completing the puzzle the exact way Toriel did, Twilight was ready for the next puzzle. However, when she entered the next room, Toriel had a sad look on her face. "You have done excellently thus far, my child," Toriel said. "however I have a difficult request to ask of you. I want you to walk through this room by yourself. Forgive me for this." And with that, Toriel was gone, running a top speed away from Twilight. "Wait, Toriel!" Twilight called. "Where are you going?" Twilight began to run after her. Twilight was fast, but Toriel was faster. Soon, Toriel disappeared around a bend and was gone from Twilight's sight. "Come back!" Twilight yelled. After running for what seemed to be forever, Twilight found the entrance to the next room. Before she could get any further, Toriel popped out from behind a stone pillar. "Why did you run away?" Twilight asked, catching her breath. "I am sorry my child," Toriel said apologetically. "but there was an important reason for this exercise. I needed to test your independence. I have some business I must attend to. You must stay here alone for a little while." "What sort of business?" Twilight asked. "Nothing of importance, just a little checking up on something," Toriel responded. "but it will not take to long. If anything happens, please just give me a call." As she said this, Toriel gave you a cell phone. On it, there was only one contact, and that was Toriel. "Please, if you have ANY concerns, any at all, just give me a call, and I will be back in a flash," Toriel said. She nodded at Twilight and then left the room. Twilight took a look at the room she was currently in. "Wait here until she gets back?" Twilight thought, continuing to look around her surrounding area, "I can make this work." With that, she leaned against the stone pillar and waited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 3? Maybe? Let's see if people enjoy this adventure. I hope you do because I can't wait to write more. Author's Note The second part of my UNDERTALE (Starring Twilight) storyline! Once again, this is not perfect, but I hope you enjoy reading it. The Ruins Pt 2.Twilight was still waiting in the corridor. It had been almost 2 hours since Toriel had left her there, instructing her to stay where she was until she got back. Twilight was starting to get impatient and was getting more so by the minute. "Wait a second." Twilight thought aloud. "Is this another puzzle? Was I supposed to leave and solve the rest on my own?" Twilight thought about this for a few more minutes, before leaving the room, and going into the next. However, the second she left the room, the mobile cell phone that Toriel had given her hours ago started to ring. "Hello? This is Toriel." Toriel spoke through the phone. "You have not left the room, have you?" Twilight took a glance back at the room she had been waiting in for the past 2 hours, before replying. "No," she lied. "Ok good," Toriel said, sighing with relief on the other side of the call. "There are a few puzzles ahead that I have yet to explain. It would be dangerous to try and solve them yourself. Please be good, alright?" Toriel then hung up. Twilight felt bad lying to Toriel, but she remembers that as long as she was down here, she was not up on the surface with her friends. The thought of her friends, and how they must be missing her right now gave her the strength to do whatever it took to get back up to the surface. Twilight looked around the new room and saw a frog-like creature similar to the one that had attacked her earlier. "Ribbit, Ribbit." the Frog-like Creature said before clearing its throat and spoke fluent English. "Hello, Pony. My name is Froggit. I have some advice for you about battling monsters. There are three ways to end a battle. 1) FIGHT it to death. This method is not preferred in any way. 2) FLEE from the battle. This is an easy way to escape the grasp of a monster, but you will be seen as a coward. 3) MERCY. By ACTing a certain way, you can change the way a monster looks at you. They might even stop attacking you, and you can SPARE them. I hope my advice was helpful. Ribbit." Twilight just stared at the Froggit. She then slowly walked away. As she did so, she noticed that there was a side room to the room she was in. As she entered the side room, she found a small bowl of candy. On it, there is a sign that says 'take one'. Twilight starts to feel a little hungry and takes only one of the candy and eats it. The candy tastes good, and she wants more of it, but she follows the rules and doesn't take any more. After doing everything that she thinks can be done, she moves into the next room. As Twilight gets into the next room, her phone starts to ring again. "Hello? This is Toriel." Toriel spoke into the phone. "For no reason in particular, which do you prefer? Cinnamon or Butterscotch?" "Hmm." Twilight thinks, recalling previous encounters with both items of food. "Well, once when I was on the surface, my friend Pinkie Pie gave me some Cinnamon Cupcakes, and I really enjoyed them! I'll go with Cinnamon." "Oh. I see." Toriel said. "Thank you very much!" She then hung up. Twilight was just about to do continue exploring the room when Toriel called her again. "Hello? This is Toriel." Toriel said again. "You do not DISLIKE Butterscotch, do you? I understand your preference, but would you turn your nose if you found it on your plate?" "Umm." Twilight thought, wondering if she had ever tried butterscotch before, "No, I would accept Butterscotch." "Wonderful!" Toriel said. "Thank you for being patient by the way." Once again, Toriel hung up. Twilight continued with her puzzle. In this room, there was a rock, a platform, and a row of spikes. Twilight went and stood on the platform, and the spikes dropped. However, the second she stepped off the platform, the spikes rose again. It didn't take Twilight long to figure out the puzzle. Twilight moved over to the rock and pushed it over onto the platform. With the platform pushed down again, the spikes dropped once again. Happy with her results, Twilight moved past the spikes, and into the next room. "How big are these Ruins?" Twilight asked herself, as she continued to walk through the ruins. As she continued to walk around the Ruins, she noticed a weird transparent glow coming from the next room over. As she made her way to the next room, she gasped as she saw the source of the glow. Lying on the ground was a ghost! Twilight gasped but didn't run away. She slowly approached the ghost. "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." Twilight noticed that this ghost was not actually sleeping, but instead say 'Z' over and over. "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Are they gone yet? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." Twilight was not right next to the ghost, and she realized that the Ghost was blocking the way into the next room. Twilight attempted to squeeze past the ghost, but instead accidentally started a battle with him. "Oh... hello." the ghost said, still keeping his expressionless face. His eyes were open, but everything about him looked like he was sleeping. "I'm Napstablook..." "I-I'm Twilight," Twilight said, nervous on how this was about to go. For no reason what so ever, Napstablook started crying. "Oh, no, please don't cry!" Twilight said, no longer feeling scared, now feeling bad. Did she say something wrong? "Uhh, a joke! Jokes always make people feel better!" Twilight said, now racking her brains to remember a joke that Pinkie Pie told her back in Ponyville. "Why are ghosts never invited to concerts?" Twilight said, doing her best impression of Pinkie Pie, "Because all they do is BOO!" Napstablook stopped crying a little and gave a small smile. "Heh heh. Can I show you something?" "Sure!" Twilight said, happy that he was no longer crying. "Here," Napstablook said, squinting his eyes together, "let me try..." Napstablook started crying again, but this time, he seemed happy. His tears instead of splashing against the ground instead went up and started forming a hat. Twilight was shocked to see this magic. "How is he crying up?" she thought. "And how are his tears forming into a hat?" "Well..." Napstablook said, looking hopefully at Napstablook. "What do you think? I call it, Dapperblook." Twilight took a look at Napstablook, who was now wearing a transparent top hat made of his tears. "It looks amazing!" Twilight said, smiling at Napstablook. "I usually come to the ruins because not many people are here," Napstablook said to no one in particular. "But today? Today I met someone nice." He smiled at Twilight, before disappearing into thin air. Twilight walked through the space Napstablook was in moments before, and continued on her path. It didn't take Twilight long to realize what she would do once she beat all the puzzles. Would she need a key? Would she need a secret code? Had she gone the wrong way? Where was she even going? Questions kept forming inside her head until she heard a familiar voice nearby. "Oh dear, that took longer than I thought it would," Toriel said, from somewhere nearby. Twilight heard footsteps echo throughout the halls, as Toriel came round a corner, and bumped into Twilight. "How did you get here my child?" Toriel gasped when she saw Twilight. "Are you hurt? I should not have left you alone for so long." "It's ok Toriel," Twilight said, looking up at the much taller goat lady. "But can I ask why you left me alone for so long?" "Well," Toriel said, "I suppose I can not hide it any longer. Come, small one." With that, she started going back in the direction she came from. "This," she said, pointing to a stone house built into the wall of the ruins, "is my house! Please, come in." Toriel went inside, leaving the door open for Twilight. Twilight looked the house up and down, then went inside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 4?

"Howdy! I'm Flowey.""AAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH!" screamed Twilight, as she fell through a giant hole, plummeting to her certain death.

I guess little old me will have to do." Twilight gasped again, as a heart magically appeared in front of her. "See that Heart?" Flowey asked, nodding his head at the heart. "That's your Soul, the very culmination of your being!" "Well can you please put it back INSIDE my body?" Twilight asked, a little desperately. "Of course friend!" Flowey said, winking at Twilight. "But your soul is so weak, if I tried touching it, it might snap! Don't worry, your old pal Flowey will make it stronger!" Flowey then summoned little white pellets, and they hovered above him.

"Now I know something is up," Twilight thought. "He wouldn't be this persistent if he was harmless." Once again, she dodged the bullets. Flowey then lost it. "YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE DON'T YOU?" he shrieked, surrounding Twilight with the bullets. "YOU JUST WANTED TO WATCH ME SUFFER, DIDN'T YOU? WELL, I GOT NEWS FOR YOU PAL!! THIS ISN"T YOUR WORLD, I MAKE THE RULES, ME!! IN THIS WORLD, IT IS KILL OR BE KILLED!!" Flowey started making the bullets surrounding Twilight close in on her. Twilight tried to squeeze in as much as she could, but the bullets were getting closer, and closer, and... Suddenly the bullets vanished.

After walking a little more, Twilight and Toriel cam to a huge row of spikes. "This is the puzzle." Toriel said, pointing at the many rows of spikes. "I will guide you through the safe path. Just do everything I do." Toriel immediately began walking through some of the spikes. Twilight noticed that when Toriel stepped on certain spikes, those spikes would disappear, and allow a person to safely walkthrough. After completing the puzzle the exact way Toriel did, Twilight was ready for the next puzzle. However, when she entered the next room, Toriel had a sad look on her face. "You have done excellently thus far, my child," Toriel said. "however I have a difficult request to ask of you. I want you to walk through this room by yourself. Forgive me for this." And with that, Toriel was gone, running a top speed away from Twilight. "Wait, Toriel!" Twilight called. "Where are you going?" Twilight began to run after her. Twilight was fast, but Toriel was faster. Soon, Toriel disappeared around a bend and was gone from Twilight's sight. "Come back!" Twilight yelled. After running for what seemed to be forever, Twilight found the entrance to the next room. Before she could get any further, Toriel popped out from behind a stone pillar. "Why did you run away?" Twilight asked, catching her breath. "I am sorry my child," Toriel said apologetically. "but there was an important reason for this exercise. I needed to test your independence. I have some business I must attend to. You must stay here alone for a little while." "What sort of business?" Twilight asked. "Nothing of importance, just a little checking up on something," Toriel responded. "but it will not take to long. If anything happens, please just give me a call." As she said this, Toriel gave you a cell phone. On it, there was only one contact, and that was Toriel. "Please, if you have ANY concerns, any at all, just give me a call, and I will be back in a flash," Toriel said. She nodded at Twilight and then left the room. Twilight took a look at the room she was currently in. "Wait here until she gets back?" Twilight thought, continuing to look around her surrounding area, "I can make this work." With that, she leaned against the stone pillar and waited. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 3? Maybe? Let's see if people enjoy this adventure. I hope you do because I can't wait to write more. Author's Note The second part of my UNDERTALE (Starring Twilight) storyline! Once again, this is not perfect, but I hope you enjoy reading it.
The Ruins Pt 2.Twilight was still waiting in the corridor. It had been almost 2 hours since Toriel had left her there, instructing her to stay where she was until she got back. Twilight was starting to get impatient and was getting more so by the minute. "Wait a second." Twilight thought aloud. "Is this another puzzle? Was I supposed to leave and solve the rest on my own?" Twilight thought about this for a few more minutes, before leaving the room, and going into the next. However, the second she left the room, the mobile cell phone that Toriel had given her hours ago started to ring. "Hello? This is Toriel." Toriel spoke through the phone. "You have not left the room, have you?" Twilight took a glance back at the room she had been waiting in for the past 2 hours, before replying. "No," she lied. "Ok good," Toriel said, sighing with relief on the other side of the call. "There are a few puzzles ahead that I have yet to explain. It would be dangerous to try and solve them yourself. Please be good, alright?" Toriel then hung up. Twilight felt bad lying to Toriel, but she remembers that as long as she was down here, she was not up on the surface with her friends. The thought of her friends, and how they must be missing her right now gave her the strength to do whatever it took to get back up to the surface. Twilight looked around the new room and saw a frog-like creature similar to the one that had attacked her earlier. "Ribbit, Ribbit." the Frog-like Creature said before clearing its throat and spoke fluent English. "Hello, Pony. My name is Froggit. I have some advice for you about battling monsters. There are three ways to end a battle. 1) FIGHT it to death. This method is not preferred in any way. 2) FLEE from the battle. This is an easy way to escape the grasp of a monster, but you will be seen as a coward. 3) MERCY. By ACTing a certain way, you can change the way a monster looks at you. They might even stop attacking you, and you can SPARE them. I hope my advice was helpful. Ribbit." Twilight just stared at the Froggit. She then slowly walked away. As she did so, she noticed that there was a side room to the room she was in. As she entered the side room, she found a small bowl of candy. On it, there is a sign that says 'take one'. Twilight starts to feel a little hungry and takes only one of the candy and eats it. The candy tastes good, and she wants more of it, but she follows the rules and doesn't take any more. After doing everything that she thinks can be done, she moves into the next room. As Twilight gets into the next room, her phone starts to ring again. "Hello? This is Toriel." Toriel spoke into the phone. "For no reason in particular, which do you prefer? Cinnamon or Butterscotch?" "Hmm." Twilight thinks, recalling previous encounters with both items of food. "Well, once when I was on the surface, my friend Pinkie Pie gave me some Cinnamon Cupcakes, and I really enjoyed them! I'll go with Cinnamon." "Oh. I see." Toriel said. "Thank you very much!" She then hung up. Twilight was just about to do continue exploring the room when Toriel called her again. "Hello? This is Toriel." Toriel said again. "You do not DISLIKE Butterscotch, do you? I understand your preference, but would you turn your nose if you found it on your plate?" "Umm." Twilight thought, wondering if she had ever tried butterscotch before, "No, I would accept Butterscotch." "Wonderful!" Toriel said. "Thank you for being patient by the way." Once again, Toriel hung up. Twilight continued with her puzzle. In this room, there was a rock, a platform, and a row of spikes. Twilight went and stood on the platform, and the spikes dropped. However, the second she stepped off the platform, the spikes rose again. It didn't take Twilight long to figure out the puzzle. Twilight moved over to the rock and pushed it over onto the platform. With the platform pushed down again, the spikes dropped once again. Happy with her results, Twilight moved past the spikes, and into the next room. "How big are these Ruins?" Twilight asked herself, as she continued to walk through the ruins. As she continued to walk around the Ruins, she noticed a weird transparent glow coming from the next room over. As she made her way to the next room, she gasped as she saw the source of the glow. Lying on the ground was a ghost! Twilight gasped but didn't run away. She slowly approached the ghost. "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." Twilight noticed that this ghost was not actually sleeping, but instead say 'Z' over and over. "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Are they gone yet? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." Twilight was not right next to the ghost, and she realized that the Ghost was blocking the way into the next room. Twilight attempted to squeeze past the ghost, but instead accidentally started a battle with him. "Oh... hello." the ghost said, still keeping his expressionless face. His eyes were open, but everything about him looked like he was sleeping. "I'm Napstablook..." "I-I'm Twilight," Twilight said, nervous on how this was about to go. For no reason what so ever, Napstablook started crying. "Oh, no, please don't cry!" Twilight said, no longer feeling scared, now feeling bad. Did she say something wrong? "Uhh, a joke! Jokes always make people feel better!" Twilight said, now racking her brains to remember a joke that Pinkie Pie told her back in Ponyville. "Why are ghosts never invited to concerts?" Twilight said, doing her best impression of Pinkie Pie, "Because all they do is BOO!" Napstablook stopped crying a little and gave a small smile. "Heh heh. Can I show you something?" "Sure!" Twilight said, happy that he was no longer crying. "Here," Napstablook said, squinting his eyes together, "let me try..." Napstablook started crying again, but this time, he seemed happy. His tears instead of splashing against the ground instead went up and started forming a hat. Twilight was shocked to see this magic. "How is he crying up?" she thought. "And how are his tears forming into a hat?" "Well..." Napstablook said, looking hopefully at Napstablook. "What do you think? I call it, Dapperblook." Twilight took a look at Napstablook, who was now wearing a transparent top hat made of his tears. "It looks amazing!" Twilight said, smiling at Napstablook. "I usually come to the ruins because not many people are here," Napstablook said to no one in particular. "But today? Today I met someone nice." He smiled at Twilight, before disappearing into thin air. Twilight walked through the space Napstablook was in moments before, and continued on her path. It didn't take Twilight long to realize what she would do once she beat all the puzzles. Would she need a key? Would she need a secret code? Had she gone the wrong way? Where was she even going? Questions kept forming inside her head until she heard a familiar voice nearby. "Oh dear, that took longer than I thought it would," Toriel said, from somewhere nearby. Twilight heard footsteps echo throughout the halls, as Toriel came round a corner, and bumped into Twilight. "How did you get here my child?" Toriel gasped when she saw Twilight. "Are you hurt? I should not have left you alone for so long." "It's ok Toriel," Twilight said, looking up at the much taller goat lady. "But can I ask why you left me alone for so long?" "Well," Toriel said, "I suppose I can not hide it any longer. Come, small one." With that, she started going back in the direction she came from. "This," she said, pointing to a stone house built into the wall of the ruins, "is my house! Please, come in." Toriel went inside, leaving the door open for Twilight. Twilight looked the house up and down, then went inside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 4?
