??? Pov
I felt… both heavy and lighter at the same time. Struggling to open my eyelids, I could see why. I was small as all hell. I also felt like my eyelids weren’t really opening, yet I can see still. Looking around, I saw I was in what looked like some kind of ruined entrance hall of a stone castle.
“Howdy!” A voice said. My eyes widened a whole centimeter, and I turned around, seeing a certain flower and backing away in fear.
I managed to muster enough courage to speak. “D-d-don’t you c-come near me! I-i know w-who you are, I-i know what you do!” I shouted at the flower. This seemed to amuse him.
“Really? You know what this form usually does? Please, tell me.” The flower said with a chuckle.
“Y-you m-mean y-you d-don’t know how you b-became a flower?” I asked, curiosity giving me courage.
“Nope! I just woke up a little before you did,” The flower said, shrugging it’s petals. I sat down next to the flower, but was ready to bolt.
“D-d-do you know h-how I got here?” I asked. The flower tilted it’s head.
“You fell outta a portal.” The flower told me. I was concerned. Why did I fall out of a portal? The last thing I remembered was working on one of my stories with my co-writers. It also felt like a piece of my memory was missing. “Anyway, we should get out of here, a ruins aren’t a place for a kid.”
Alarm bells went off. “K-kid? I’m over 20 years old!” I said, offended.
“Yes, kill the fucking-flower…” A voice in the back of my head. I yelped at this, shaking my head to clear it of the voice.
“D-did you hear that?” I asked as I searched for the source of the voice.
The flower looked at me funny. “You hearing voices there, kid?” The flower asked me, with a inquisitive face.
I shook a bit. “I-i h-heard a-a dark v-voice, i-in my head,” I said, scared for what this could me. If I’m Frisk, and that’s Flower… then the voice was Chara. And I had NO intention of ever releasing her.
“A dark voice, huh… we better get me some power then, huh? I’d be the only one that could combat that ‘voice’. Don’t say it’s name, that’s how it came…” The flower said with a chuckle.
I got scared. “W-w-what about thinking it?” I asked nervously.
“That should be fine. They’re the demon the comes when you CALL it’s name. Not think it.” The flower said with a shrug.
I had a thought then. “W-w-were you h-human before you g-g-got here?” I asked the flower, recieving a nod. I suddenly felt better, knowing there was another person like me here. One that could actually defend me. “Oh thank god… I thought you were like the original Flowey.”
Then, I told the flower what it’s original counterpart could do. The flower was intrigued at the ideas. I did leave out the part of the human souls, though… I had a suspicion that it had a feeling about the power gaining part anyway.
“Do you have any idea… how I would do any of this?” The flower asked me.
“I don’t know. I’ll go get a flower pot, unless you want to try sticking in my hair.” I replied. The flower got a look of concentration for a second, before popping out of the ground, managing to make it’s way up my body into my hair.
With Flowey firmly in place, I moved out of the entryway, peeking my head out. I saw what looked like a dark and spooky forest. “Wait…” I thought to myself. If that was the forest I thought it was, and this castle had sun and moon symbols on it’s tattered banners… I WAS IN EQUESTRIA!
I was beaming, loving that I was here and displaced. I almost missed the yellow save point, if Flowey hadn’t slapped the side of my head to make me notice it, quickly saving my progress before going out into the woods.
*The thought of being a displaced fills you with DETERMINATION
Moving on into the woods, I followed the path coming from the castle, hoping it led somewhere near Ponyville. “Why are you so… happy?” The flower questioned as I skipped through the forest.
I giggled, smiling, “Don’t you get it Flowey? We’re displaced, and in one of my favorite shows! Why wouldn’t I be happy?” I asked with a little twirl, hearing the voice gag and doing another. “Shut up, Chara.” She thought to the voice.
Soon, the two were making their way out of the forest, to be met with the pastel colored ponies in their pastel colored village.
“My eyes! Can’t. Claw them. Out. Fast. Enough!” Chara shouted in Frisks mind, making the girl giggle at the demons overreaction.
I couldn’t see it, but I could feel the flowers deadpan. I shrugged a little, and decided that staying on the outskirts would be best. I was excited to meet the ponies, but they were skittish at best, and though it saddened me, I know they’d be scared of me at first.
Looking around, I saw a yellow blur. Assuming it was the shy that flutters, I followed the blur as sneakily as I could. I ended up outside the treehouse, hiding in a bush and looking inside as I saw the ponies… but they were different. They were anthro, and all but Pinkie and Rarity seemed dressed as the equestria girls versions of themself. Rarity was like Mettaton, and Pinkie… was wearing a pink version of Sans outfit. Except for the slippers, which were blue shoes of her equestria girls outfit.
“So the pink one is this universe’s smiley trashbag?” I heard Flowey whisper.
“Stupid comedians…” Chara said in my head. I was terrified, but hopeful. I knew no one had messed with timelines yet, so this should be a very different sans experience. Touching the savepoint I saw outside the building, I nervously knocked on the door.
I heard the ponies inside stop speaking, before hearing one come to the door It opened, revealing a purple mare of the magic variety. The purple smart. “I keep telling-” Was what she got out, before seeing me, screeching, and slamming the door shut.
“U-um… I’ll… c-come back later…” I said dejectedly, feeling tears pool in the sides of my eyes. I heard Flowey hissing a bit. He went into the ground, before vines came up, picking me up and the other slamming the door open. “Flowey! We don’t break into people's homes!”
“It’s a library!” The flower shouted back, putting me inside before going back in my hair. Purple smart looked scared, Pinkie had a sans worthy grin, Rainbow looked about to attack, Rarity, predictably, had fainted, Fluttershy was hiding somewhere, and AppleJack seemed sympathetic.
I panicked a little at seeing the light blue mare about to attack me. “P-p-please d-don’t attack! F-f-flowey j-just… doesn’t like s-seeing me cry,” I said hurriedly. At that moment, if Flowey could, I could tell he would have facepalmed.
“And why should we?” Rainbow asked with a snarl. I took a step back, afraid of the giant ponies. There were about three times my size.
Flowey got in front of me in the floor, white pellets forming above him. “Howdy, I’m FLOWEY. FLOWEY the Flower. And if you don’t want this flower to show it’s thorns, you’ll apologize to Frisk over there,” Flower said, a vine pointing to me.
I shivered a little at the flowers tone. “F-flowey, please don’t hurt them,” I begged.
The flower glanced at me for a second. “Oh, I won’t…” it started, before gaining it’s creepy face. “Much.” Before I could say a thing, Rainbow flew at the flower. The vine previously used to point at me shot up, grabbing the mares ankle and comically slamming her into the floor again and again.
“Really?” I asked, a bit exasperated. The flower rolled it’s eyes, tossing Rainbow away.
“Puny Pony.” It drawled. AppleJack seemed to not like her friend getting tossed around, and charged the two of us. A circle of pellets appeared around me, acting as a shield.
The orange mare snarled. “Why don’tcha pick on someone ya own size?!” She shouted.
“I would, but I’m a flower.” The flower deadpanned, shooting the five pellets above it’s head at the orange mare as she jumped, launching her into, and through, the far wall. I started crying a bit, making Floweys face go normal, the flower appearing below me.
“Frisk? What’s wrong?” The flower asked concernedly.
“I-i w-wanted t-to make friends here… n-now it’s all ruined…” I sobbed a bit.
“Silly. You got a power for that, remember?” Flowey asked with a smug look. My eyes widened, before I closed my eyes, concentrating. When I tried to see, I saw the Continue and Load buttons there… but also RESET. I pressed Load, not needing RESET, and we went back roughly five minutes, to me outside the door. I was completely disoriented.
This time, I tried a different approach. “H-h-hello? C-can I h-have some help?” I asked, sounding scared and lonely, and more importantly, innocent, Flowey helping by making only it’s head show in the side of my hair. “I-i’m lost…”
The discussion inside stopped, and a mare opened the door. This time, it was Pinkie. “Hey, girls! It’s that creature we were just discussing!” She said, gently leading me inside. “And she has a cute little flower in her hair…”
When the two came in, the mares gave me looks of caution. “H-h-hello? C-can you help me? I-i’m lost, I-i-i w-woke up i-in t-this weird castle, a-and I d-don’t know where I am…”
“She’s just a little filly,” Rarity said, concern in her voice.
“She could be a spy, we don’t even know what she is!” Rainbow said. “For all we know, she’s some evil creatures minion.” I teared up at this. I wasn’t evil! I wasn’t!
Flowey, on the other hand, comfortingly rubbed my back, sliding a tendril discreetly down my back to do so. “You are manipulating them…” The voice in my head said.
“S-s-shut up, Chara! Noone wants you here! Not even FLOWEY, and he know’s you're in here!” I shouted mentally at the former human, who went silent at this. Fluttershy kneeled down, hugging me and rubbing my back, me feeling my flower companion move the vine away, whispering comforting this. I accepted the hug, hugging back and sniffling, hoping things would get better.
They won’t.
