The UnderTale

Looking around Twilight saw Froggit staring at her, both stared as if one was going to attack the other. Coughing Twilight scratched the back of her head, the Froggit ribbited. “H-Hello. My name is Twilight. Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said as she walked near the Froggit. The froggit just stared at her

“Ribbit...Ribbit” The Froggit said as Twilight looked at the Froggit confused. Not understanding the Froggit Twilight looked around to try to find something that could help her understand him. The froggit looked at Twilight again, “Ribbit… Ribbit…” The froggit said.

Twilight opened her mouth to say something. “He said “excuse me human, I have some advice for you about battling.” A female voice said. A bit surprised at the voice Twilight looked around but couldn’t see anyone.

“Hello?” Twilight asked, looking around, a bit afraid and unsure. The Froggit looked at Twilight as it tilted its head, it ribbited again as Twilight looked around. “Um, is there someone else here?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, turn around.” The voice said, Twilight slowly turned around. The Froggit was the first thing she saw. He sat still looking confused at Twilight as to why she was talking to thin air. Next to Froggit was a figure, a young girl around the same age of Twilight. She wore a green sweater with a yellow stripe in the middle. She wore brown shorts and black shoes. She had light amber skin, red and brilliant yellow hair. She was transparent as Twilight looked surprised to see another human. “Howdy.” The figure said as she had her arms crossed in front of her. Twilight looked at the froggit and then back to the girl, “Ah don't worry he can't see me...well no one can. Other than you.”

“Well that's great, I am going insane…” Twilight said as the girl walked up to her. Twilight put her hand on her head, “did i hit my head too hard on the ground or are you an actual monster trying to make me freak out?” Twilight asked the girl.

“No, I am serious, I am… Okay how do I put this. Ah, when you first fell to the underground do you remember feeling cold and alone?” The girl asked as Twilight slowly nodded. Noticing the Froggit looking at her as if she was crazy, Twilight looked to the room to the side and walked toward it. The ghost seemingly was dragged into the room as she looked at Twilight. “The froggit giving you a look? Yeah I understand you are talking to thin air in his eyes. But as I was saying. When you fell you were actually dying, though you might not believe me. Your soul here.” the young girl said as she pointed at Twilight's chest. “Is what brought you back from the brink of death. But in the end you needed one more push. That's when I first talked to you. Remember,“You have to wake up…”” the ghost girl slowly explained to Twilight.

Twilight nodded slowly remembering clearly another voice within the darkness. “But why? Why are you here? With me, why didn't you talk to me when I was all alone in that room?” Twilight asked the ghost girl.

“Well I was about to, but then that skeleton guy started to talk to you, and you seemed to enjoy his presence and his terrible jokes. Then when Mom” the ghost girl stopped in her tracks. Twilight looked confused for a second until the ghost recovered. “When Toriel called you seemed in distress so I thought perhaps giving you some space is best.” The ghost girl said as she looked to the side. “And imagine if Toriel saw you talking to nothing then she would have thought you were insane.”

Nodding at that reasoning. Twilight looked at her own soul. “So can I ask why are you with me? When I was on the surface I had no ghost friend following me. And if I fell and that connected us, why is that?” Twilight asked the ghost girl as she had various questions but thought this question would be the best to ask. The ghost girl smiled as she pointed at Twilight's soul.

“That question is very simple to answer.” The ghost girl declared to Twilight. “Your soul of Determination was strong by itself but you might have taken some of my determination when you landed on my grave. Your soul and my soul are kinda joined together… well now it's more of your soul, mine is no longer there but infused with you.” the ghost girl explained to Twilight.

Twilight looked at the ghost girl with a expression that can be classified as a mixture of disgusted and confused. “Landed on your grave? What do you mean?” Twilight asked, a part of her really not wanting to know the answer as another part knew it already.

“Um the flower bed… that was my grave.” The ghost girl said nonchalantly. Twilight's eyes widened as she looked at the ghost. “The next thing you're going to say is “I’m sorry.” Don't be you didn't know and if it wasn't there you would have surely died.” The ghost girl said.

Twilight was about to say, “I'm sorry,’ But stopped as the ghost girl seemed to already know. “Still I didn't mean to disturb you. I don't know if you were at peace or not and i disturbed you.” Twilight said to the ghost girl. The ghostly figure nodded and shrugged.

“Eh it happens. I am just happy I can help someone out this time. Don't need another kid to have no idea what to say or do down here. Or how to handle some fights.” The ghost girl said to Twilight. Though Twilight heard her she seemed to be deep in thought, “I do have one question…” The ghost stated as Twilight looked at her. “Why did you jump?”

Twilight was quiet as she started to bite her nails. “It… it’s a long story, and I don’t want to get into it?” Twilight offered closing her eyes expecting for this ghost to continue to ask her what was the reason or pry it out of her. The ghost looked at Twilight for a few seconds in silence but then shrugged.

“Hey your life your rules I guess? I ain’t gonna snoop around for answers.” The ghost stated in a carefree attitude. Twilight looked around in the room they were in, seeing a small pillar with a bowl in the middle Twilight walked up to it, her curiosity getting the better of her.

“So what's your name?” Twilight asked the ghost girl as she read the sign on the pillar, the sign read, “Please take one…” within the bowl was candy. Looking at the sign and then around the room similar to how a child about to steal a cookie would, Twilight picked one up.

“My name? You haven’t told me yours so why should I tell you mine?” The ghost asked, floating upside down and in front of Twilight. The sudden closeness of the Ghost made Twilight uncomfortable as she quickly took a step back. “You know you can grab more right?” the ghost asked as Twilight nodded, “Do you want another one?” the ghost turned to Twilight who was opening the candy, “Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait just a second!” The ghost girl shouted, the sudden loud noise triggered Twilight to jump back, her arm up in a defensive position as her eyes closed.

The room was quiet as the ghost looked unsure at Twilight, reaching out to Twilight the ghost was stopped in her tracks as Twilight opened her eyes. After seeing no threat around her, Twilight stood straight instantly. “Hey kid are you alright?” The ghost asked cautiously, unsure of what to say or how to react.

“I’m fine! Everything is alright!” Twilight started as she stared at the candy once more. “Okay, if this is how we are now we need to figure out a way to work together on this, rule 1. Please no sudden or loud noises. If you want to tell me something just say it, don't yell it please…” Twilight asked, her expression holding a sense of preparation from the ghost.

“Alright, that sounds fair enough. Sorry I shouted.” The ghost girl stated as the room seemed to relax from the situation. “But you should not eat that candy.”

Twilight looked at the candy with worry now as she looked up to the ghost once more. “Is it poisoned? Is it yours?” Twilight asked unsure of the reason as to why she should not eat any of the candy.

The ghost girl shook her head. “No, monster food is very different from human food.” the ghost started, Twilight looked at her and then at the candy and sniffed it. “It's not poisoned. How can i explain this… oh okay, you know when humans don't eat you guys get hungry and soon tired and weak?” The ghost asked.

Twilight looked at the food, not seeing anything special about it, hearing the explanation the ghost girl was giving Twilight nodded “Yes… but does this monster food boost your body up or something?” Twilight asked. The ghost girl shook her head.

“Well it can if you eat a lot, since monster Monsters are far weaker than humans, both in physical combat and regular aspects, they need ways to heal up their HP, the thing that shows you if you're close to death or not.” The ghost started. Twilight started to think of the explanation slowly understanding it. “So to heal up their body the SOUL uses the healing magic that is in all monster food.” The ghost girl started as Twilight looked at the candy worried. “It's fine if a human eats it, actually it is super good. Since you will be fighting a lot. Some monsters don't quit or give up so easily and if you can't run you might be forced to fight.” The ghost girl explained, Twilight looked at the candy as she started to wrap it up once more but then looked at the ghost. “Sadly due to this monster food, monsters are accustomed to food mostly made of magic, it means their physical form’s do not have actual nutritious and health problems us humans do. They do not bleed and when they die they dust away. They still eat physical food grown from the over world but that comes in rare and sometimes is not the best. This means monsters have to use magic to create new foods and items to help the underground sustain.” The ghost girl explained to Twilight.

“You sure do know a lot of monsters and their abilities and languages. How do you know that?” Twilight asked the ghost, putting the candy into her pocket she waited for the ghost to respond. “You were also buried here...so that means I am not the first human to fall down here. But the lack of humans also means that… none escaped.” Twilight said grimly. The ghost girl nodded

“Look, I know it because I've been here for a while now. I suggest you take a few more candies and talk to Froggit. He might have some good information” The ghost girl started. Twilight was currently looking at the floor as she felt something within her getting stronger.

Looking at the ghost girl Twilight smiled, “Well if no one else made it out before I will be the first one to make it out, you can bet your ghost stuff on that.” Twilight stated, her determination rising up as she was feeling excited. “But first let me ask you this. Are you going to be my new friend?” Twilight asked the ghost with a smile.

The ghost looked at Twilight confused. “We just met and you want me to be your best friend?” the ghost asked a bit confused on what a friendship means in Twilight's eyes.

Twilight nodded. “Yep you haven't hurt me or done something wrong to me and in fact if what you said was true you saved my life and you are going to save my life in the future. So you're gonna be my best friend?” Twilight asked, “You're kinda bound to me so you don't really have a choice.” Twilight added in a light hearted joking manner.

“If it gets you moving I guess I can be. And it's like you said. I am bound to you so we are best friends''.” the ghost girl said as Twilight's eyes glimmered. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Twilight went to hug the ghost girl only to go right through her and fall onto the ground. The ghost girl couldn't help but snicker at that reaction as she kneeled down to Twilight. “Sorry should have mentioned that even though you can see me you still can't physically touch me. I would offer you my hand but…” The ghost girl joked to Twilight who looked at her.

Thinking of a way to tease the ghost back, Twilight remembered what the ghost girl said and did at the mention of Sans' bad jokes. “Oh don't worry I will be fine, I might hurt for now but having a new friend is already “Raising my spirits.”” Twilight said to the ghost girl.

The ghost girl stared at Twilight, her eyebrows furrowing, “…No…” The ghost girl stated, making Twilight only laugh as she got herself up.

“Ah what you don't think that was punny?” Twilight asked as the ghost girl's face palmed. “So since I don't know your name I don't think ghost girl is appropriate. So…” Twilight said as she dusted herself off. “Hmm, what about Bacon?” Twilight said.

The ghost girl looked at Twilight with an even more irritated stare. “What your hair looks like bacon.” Twilight started as the ghost girl rolled her eyes. Then an evil smirk appeared on her face.

“Fine, if you call me bacon I can call you Goat kid.” The ghost girl said to Twilight as her eyes went wide and her face turned red. “Yeah, remember when I said I was around the whole time. I meant that, I heard your whole conversation with the phone guy and your “monster name”. By the way, I love that nickname for you, Twilight, it's so funny and adorable.” the ghost girl said as Twilight covered her face with both hands.

“I- I was trying to think fast and under pressure. I didn't want to get in trouble.” Twilight said as the ghost girl laughed at Twilight's reaction. “It's not funny! I was scared and I- I… Fine, what should I call you then?”

The ghost girl wiped a tear away from her eye as she held onto her gut. “I didn't even know that my gut could hurt from laughing. Give me a second Goat Kid.” The girl said as Twilight looked at her.

Twilight walked up to her and tried to grab her arm but couldn't. “Stop it!” Twilight yelled trying to make the ghost girl stop. With the ghost girl laughing even more at Twilight attempts. She looked at Twilight and smiled

“You can call me Dream.” the ghost girl said. Twilight looked at her a bit unimpressed. “W-what?” Dream asked Twilight who was still having an expression of not being impressed.

“Nothing Dream, just not that impressive, i thought it was going to be something super cool like, Sunflare, or, or daybreaker, or even Bacon Blast.” Twilight said as Dream just looked at Twilight with a confused slowly turning into an irritating expression. “Um… nevermind let's get going, Dream!” Twilight said as she started to walk back to the previous room. Not taking anymore candy.

“Damn those names actually sound good.” Dream thought in her head as she floated beside Twilight. “So Goat Kid, what's your plan?” Dream asked Twilight, curious to see what she would say.

“Well Bacon… my goal is to get out of the underground in one piece so that's what i will do.” Twilight teased Dream back. “I plan to survive. As I said I will be the first kid out.” Twilight stated as Dream nodded.

“And what about the monsters?” Dream asked Twilight. Though Twilight was thinking on the topic of the monsters she truly didn't know what to say for them.

“Well, we will have to see…” Twilight stated unsure. Dream was quiet as she floated silently next to Twilight. “My name is Twilight, Twilight Sparkle.” Finally getting back to the Froggit he ribbited. Twilight turned to Dream who was translating it.

“He asked if you're done going crazy.” Dream said with a smirk. Twilight groaned and nodded. The Froggit blinked at Twilight and proceeded to ribbit. Dream listened closely and turned to Twilight. “He said “If you act a certain way or fight until you almost defeat another monster then they might not want to fight you anymore, if a monster does not wish to fight you anymore, please use some mercy.” Dream said to Twilight.

Twilight looked at Dream and nodded. Then she looked at the froggit and nodded. Turning around, Twilight started to walk down the dirt road curious to see what else she would find. “It will only be about five minutes right! I can explore a bit.” Twilight started only to bump right into a Froggit, her soul automatically being summoned as the Froggit looked at Twilight confused. “Oh- I’m sorry!” Twilight said The new froggit only looked confused to Twilight not understanding her as a second Froggit hopped around the corner and looked at the ensuing fight.

Twilight looked at the Froggit worried, “Hey Twilight you have to say something to it or react or he will attack!” Dream shouted at Twilight, “Compliment him or say he looks cool or something!” The froggit jumped at Twilight.

Seeing the jump Twilight rolled to the side as the froggit barely missed her. Looking at Dream, Twilight spoke, “I don't speak Frog! What should I say? Ribbit Ribbit? Croak Ribbit!” Twilight shouted at Dream in distress.

Dream looked shocked at Twilight as the Froggit that attacked her croaked and the second Froggits eyes widened. Twilight looked at the Froggit confused and then toward Dream her expression shocked. “What- what did I say? Was it something bad?” Twilight asked Dream unsure if she wanted to know the response.

Dream nodded slowly, “You said, “You look like a tadpol and your mothers a toad.” Dream said Twilight looked at Dream confused and then at the Froggit then back to Dream, rolling her eyes Dream sighed, “In their eyes tadpols are the weakest and they are not toads, they are Frogs! That’s like misrepresenting them entirely!”

Twilight looked at Dream with a even more dumbfounded expression. “You gotta be kidding me!” Twilight said as the Froggit jumped at her. Sidestepping the Froggit Twilight saw her chance. “Fine then! I got an idea,” Twilight started. Dream looked at her confused.

“An idea? What is it? Will you say sorry? Or maybe offer it the candy? Or offer friendship? Anything that does not lead to the destruction of these guys!” Dream asked as Twilight shook her head.

“Nope it’s time for my special attack!” Twilight stated confidently, Dream quietly waited to see as the froggit tilted its head in confusion. Twilight pointed at the Froggit and smirked, “With this attack you won’t be able to even beat me!” Twilight stated as the froggit prepared itself.

The froggit Ribbited twice, the second Froggit watched on in silence. Twilight went to push her glasses back up only to realize it wasn’t there. The room was silent for only a second until, “Watch out behind you!” Twilight shouted as she pointed behind the Froggit. Without thinking the two Froggit turned around.

Seeing nothing in the air behind them they turned to Twilight again, seeing nothing was there again the Froggit looked around confused and very surprised only to see Twilight running down the hall behind them.

Dream floating behind Twilight spoke with shock “This is your special attack!” Dream asked as Twilight ran into the next room. “You could have talked to them or just said sorry! You running makes it seem worst!” Dream yelled

“I don't care! I dont know how to fight! And it was two against one! It's not fair!” Twilight shouted as she heard the Froggits hopping after her.

Running into the next room Twilight wasn’t paying attention as she had turned to see the Froggit. Stepping into the ground of the next room, Twilight felt the ground under her crumble.

As Twilight started to fall into the hole, she looked around as her thoughts shouted “Not again!” Twilight landed softly on leaves as she grunted. Looking up at where she came Twilight could see the Froggit at the top looking down at her.

Shouting in fear, Twilight got up and started to run toward the door in front of her, climbing up the stairs Twilight was surrounded by darkness. “Watch your leg your going to stub your-“ Dream started only for a spike of pain to make itself present in Twilights foot. “Toe…”

“Ow ow ow!” Twilight shouted in pain, almost falling backwards only to get her footing once more. Dream, I can’t see! Where do i go? Why isn’t there any torches here to light the room?” Twilight asked as a chuckle echoed around the room.

Facing the darkness Twilight squinted in a attempt to stop Dream from chuckling. “You can’t see me can you?” Dream’s voice asked from Twilights left. Jumping in shock Twilight turned to face the ghost, opening her mouth to speak Twilight was interrupted by Dream. “Keep going up the stairs, there is an exit up there. And the Froggit won’t go past the flower patch come on!”

After walking up a few more steps, Twilight finally made it back to the room she was once in before. Looking to her left Twilight saw the two Froggit murmuring to one another, one seemed to want to chase Twilight again, the other seemed to be focused with another idea. Upon seeing Twilight exit the room the first started to Ribbit once more. Dream had been floating over the hole Twilight had made as the ribbits grabbed both of the girls attention. “He says “You got lucky this time human, next time your mother will be made fun of.” Dream explained quietly laughing at the Froggits reaction.

The two Froggits had started to hop away as Twilight looked at Dream with a confused but worried expression. “Will they come back? Are they going to hurt me?” Twilight asked as she then faced the hallway the Froggits had entered, “Sorry! I didn’t mean to make fun of your mother!” Twilight started. Dream had started to float toward Twilight with a smirk.

“Ah they are just messing with you, they don’t wanna hurt you. Plus they are harmless, any attack they make will be healed in the next save!” Dream stated, Twilight’s confused expression showed Dream she did not understand the statement. “The star thing, it lets you save so if you need to reload a situation you can.” Dream stated

Confused Twilight would look at Dream with a unsure expression, “What do you mean reload? Like regain my HOPE?” Twilight asked, a shake of Dreams head was all she got in return.

“No, think about it this way, we live in a world were the earth continues in one timeline right? Now imagine someone has a powerful force called determination. This unwavering soul never gives up but it also adds a new factor within our world. It allows you to reshape the path one is to go through, It’s like having a magical redo button in your pocket. When things don’t go the way you want, you can press that button and go back to a previous moment. It’s like rewinding time, giving you a chance to try again and make better choices.” Dream explained to Twilight who looked at her with an unsure expression.

“Are you sure this monster food doesn’t mess with your head?” Twilight asked as Dream’s excitement drooped quickly. “What your stating is bending and breaking the fabic of time. Things that continue without any of us. And your explaining that this soul has the ability to change that? It’s just not possible.” Twilight stated as they continued to walk.

“I swear it’s real, and now you have it. It’s a powerful tool of the universe and you have full control to use it. Whenever you want to redo a situation you felt that could be done better or even bring someone back from death at a certain point you can do it with just a reset.” Dream stated. Still unsure of Dream and her words, Twilight was left in thought.

“So with the power of this soul, the space time continuum bends at my will? But only at certain points…” Twilight started, Dream nodded expecting to hear Twilight understand it more only for a laugh to exit Twilight. “That would be insane! I mean could you imagine such power, people would live their days over and over with this. Time moves forward and we can’t change it. What is done is already done, if this were true then that throws a wrench into all of space time studies and quantum science!” Twilight stated as she stepped into the next room.

Dream let out a sigh and nodded, “I can understand your doubts but there is something special about people with determination! We have this ability to make a difference and-“ Before Dream could finish Twilights phone rang. Looking at her phone, Twilight saw one singular name “Toriel”
