Rainbow Dash grumbled as she walked out of the bathroom. Her fur was all fluffy and soft, making her look like a kitten.

It's was embarrassing.

Toriel clapped her paws. “There you go, you’re all clean! Now, how 'bout you explore a little before bed? If you need me I’ll be in the living room.” 

Toriel turned around and started heading off.

“Wait!” Rainbow said quickly.

“Yes, my child?” The filly clicked her hooves together nervously.

“Can… can I call you mom?” Toriel looked at Rainbow with so much love that it was intoxicating. She reached down and hugged the fluffy pegasus.

“Of course!” She ended the hug with a pat on Rainbow’s head and walked toward the living room.

Rainbow looked down the hall and noticed a mirror. Wanting to see what she looked like, she headed over to it.

She stood on her hind hooves and looked in the mirror. What she saw though nearly made her scream. There was someone behind her! She looked behind her before back at the mirror. It seemed that It was not actually behind her, just in the mirror. The thing was an ape like creature that had brown hair and red eyes. It was also wearing a green and yellow striped sweater. It appears that the thing in the mirror was just as shocked as Rainbow was.

What the fuck?! It screamed in Rainbow’s head, making her realize that the thing was what she has been hearing since she fell.

Eventually, both of them calmed down. They studied each other before Rainbow finally spoke.

“Hi? What's your name?” Rainbow asked slowly.

I’m Chara. It- no, she said.

“I’m Rainbow Dash."

I know, I’ve only heard it like a million times. She grunted, crossing her arms. Rainbow huffed at Chara’s attitude.

“Okayyy, what are you doing in the mirror?” She asked.

I’m not in the mirror, stupid. I’m in your head, and no I have no clue why I’m in your head. I was in someone else's before this. Chara said.

“Whose head were you in?” Rainbow asked, swishing her tail across the ground. She’s got to admit, it kinda creepy that somebody was in her head, but was also kind of cool.

None if your damn business! The ape snapped. And stop calling me an ape! I’m a human! HUE-MAN! Your almost as bad as Frisk!

Rainbow smirked.

Oh God, I just told you who’s head I was in, didn't I? She hit her head against the mirror, mumbling how stupid she was.

Rainbow just giggled, got down on all fours, and started to walk toward the living room. She peaked into the room and saw Toriel knitting a red and pink striped sweater that looked like it would fit a pony.

Toriel looked up and saw Rainbow peeking around the corner and smiled. She got up and walked over to the filly.

“Hello, my child. I just finished making something for you. I hope you like it.” Rainbow let her goat mom slip the sweater on her. It felt warm and comfortable.

Mom really likes you, especially if she made a sweater for you. You know she likes someone when she makes a sweater for them. Chara chimed in. Rainbow hummed in acknowledgment and hugged the boss monster.

“Thank you,” she whispered.
