THE NEXT MORNING


Toriel opens her eyes as some sunlight enters the room that she and her family are in.

"Good morning, mommy." Frisk said softly, enjoying the comfort of Toriel's fur. "I love you." She said. Toriel looks over that Frisk with a smile, before nuzzling her.

"I love you too." She said. Frisk gets into a more comfortable position as she lay on top of the former queen of the underground.

"Can I go to school again to day, mommy?" She asked. Toriel nods.

"Sure sweetie." She said.

"Yay!" Frisk smiled, hugging Toriel around the neck. "It's great to have a mommy again." She said happily. Toriel hugs Frisk back.

"And I'm glad to have my family back." She said.

"Mom?" Frisk asked.

"Yes, Frisk?" Toriel asked.

"D-do you think maybe more ponies will start to like me? And maybe someday I can just take a walk without being glared or screamed at, but hear hello's from everypony instead?" She asked, her voice sounding nervous.

"Yes, Frisk, I'm sure. You did make friends at school, so ponies should warm up to you." Toriel stated. Frisk smiled and nuzzles Toriel's chest.

"Thanks mom." She said happily. Toriel smiles.

"Now then, shall we get you and Asriel ready for school?" She asked. Frisk nods.

"Mmm I wish I had a fur coat like you guys...it's so comfy..." she said. Toriel looks over at Asriel.

"Asriel, time to wake up." She said. Asriel grunts and rolls over.

"Five... more minutes." He mutters. Toriel shakes her head slowly.

"No, Asriel, it's time to get up for school." She said somewhat sternly. Asriel opens his eyes and grumbles.

"Okay." He mutters. Frisk goes to lay by Asriel and cuddles into his side.

"Hi, big brother!" She said happily. Asriel pulls Frisk into a hug.

"Morning little sister." He said. Frisk hugs back, curling up in Asriel's grasp. She smiles.

"I love you all so much." She said happily.

"I love you too, Frisk." He said, just as Twilight walks in.

"Morning!" She said happily with a smile on her face. Asgore stirred under the loud noise.

"Wha?" He muttered. Frisk giggles. Toriel looks over at Twilight.

"Morning, Twilight." She said. Twilight smiles.

"I have breakast made up for you guys." She said. Toriel nods and smiles.

"Thank you." She said. As she gets up, a crack was heard and she gasps in pain, quickly bringing  hoof to her back.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Asgore asks in worry, holding Toriel close. Winches in pain.

"My... back. It hurts. Being over one thousand years old can really take a number on a monster's back." She said. Twilight winches a bit as well.

"That sounded like that hurt..." She said. Asgore held Toriel gently in his hooves.

"Are you going to be alright, love?" He asked.

"I don't know, I havn't had a good relaxation in a long time. " She said, just as Rarity came in.

"How's about you join me and Fluttershy at the spa later on today, hmm?" Rarity asked. Toriel looks at her.

"I've never been to a spa before, sure Rarity, I wouldn't mind joining you and Fluttershy." She said.

"It will help pull those knots in your back loose!" Rarity said. Toriel rubs her back with a hoof.

"That would help a lot." She said.

"Shalll I come as well, darling?" Asgore asked. Frisk was laying on top of Asriel.

"I'm so jealous of you pones and your fur..." She said.

"Rarity, is it okay if Asgore can come?" Toriel asked. Asriel looks up at Frisk.

"Well, your chitin almost looks like armor though." He pointed out.

"Who says I can decide if he can or can't?" Rarity asked.

"I don't like it...I wish I were a pony...I wouldn't have to worry about other's turning me away..." Frisk sniffed. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"If you want to come, you have to take that armor off. You've been wearing ever since we got here." Toriel said.

"Frisk, do you need quick hug?" Asriel asked. Asgore sighs. Frisk nods and hugs Asriel.

"I'm happy your here for me, Asriel." Frisk said. Toriel winches a bit from the pain.

"I'll always be here for you, Frisk." Asriel said. Asgore holds Toriel close. Toriel relaxes slightly and closes her eyes, taking deep breaths.

"It's going to be okay..." Asgore said.

"Thank you." Toriel said. Asriel remembers that they have school.

"Oh no! We're going to be late for school!" He yells.

"You lay down, I'll take them." Asgore said.

"Oh no!" She yelled. Toriel nods and lays back down. Asriel quickly gets up, accidentally knocking Frisk off him. Frisk giggles and stays close to Asriel.

"My big brother...so clumsy." She giggled. Asriel has a sheepish smile on his face.

"Sorry." He said. Frisk giggles and gets on his back. Asriel looks at Asgore.

"We're ready dad." He said.

"Yes we are daddy!" Frisk yells.

"Alright, then. Come on you two." Asgore said as he gets out if the bed. Asriel nods and gets out of bed as well.

"Hop on." Asgore says with a smile, motioning to his back. Asriel jumps onto Asgore's back.

"Um... little help." Frisk whimpers trying to jump on, but her little legs don't give her enough push. Asriel nods and lifts Frisk up onto Asgore's back. Frisk giggles and snuggles against Asriel. 

"Ready to go?" He asked. Asriel nods.

"Yep, were ready dad." He said. Asgore smiled and began to trot out of the room. Frisk lay against Asriel, nuzzling his shoulder. Asriel has a smile on his face as he looks at Frisk. Toriel lifts her head and looks at them.

"Have a good day at school." She said.

"I'm cold." Frisk said.

"I'm sure they will!" Asgore yelled. Asriel brings Frisk into a hug. Toriel painfully smiles, before laying back down. Frisk smiles. Asriel smiles as well. Frisk cuddles as close to Asriel as possible.

"Can you hold me tight?" She asked. Asriel nods and holds Frisk tight, but not too tight. Frisk smiles and gives a happy sigh. Toriel was about to fall asleep, when she heard somepony walk in. She raises her head and sees that it was Rarity and Fluttershy.

"Me and shy are ready to head out, darling. Would you still like to come?" Rarity asked. Toriel nods and slowly gets out of bed, some cracking from her back can be heard. She winches in pain slightly.

"Yes, I would still like to go please." She said.

"Oh my...you must have slept all wrong last night!" Rarity said as she hurries over to Toriel to help her up.

"It's also because I'm starting to age now because I have Asriel back." Toriel said.

"Oh dear..." Rarity said. Toriel nods.

"Yep." She said.

"Well, the spa should help you with that a lot." Fluttershy pointed out softly. Toriel smiles as she stands, a couple of feathers falling out of her robe.

"Thank you." She said.

"Oh it's no problem!" Rarity said happily.

"Shall we get going?" Toriel asked. Rarity nods.

"After you, your majesty." She said. Toriel walks towards the door. She looks back at Rarity.

"Please, just Toriel is fine. I'm not a queen anymore. I'm retired." She said.

"Oh..." Rarity said in embarrassment. Toriel gives her a reassuring smile.

"Hey, it's okay Rarity, you didn't know." She said. Rarity smiles.

"Well let's get going." She said. Toriel nods and slowly walks out the door.

"Maybe a massage would help as well." Fluttershy softly said.

"It would take a load off my back." Toriel agreed. Rarity giggles.

"Whatever you say, dear!" She said.

"So Rarity, what's the spa like?" Toriel asked.

"Oh, you'll see!" Rarity said with a smile.

"It's quite wonderful!" Fluttershy whispered.

"Can't wait to see." Toriel said. And so the ponies continued to chat as they walked, Toriel seeming a bit grumpy as result of her aching back. As Toriel walked, a couple more feathers fell from her robe.

"Um...Toriel...you seem to be dropping a lot fo feathers..." Fluttershy pointed out. Toriel looks behind and sees the feathers.

"Oh dear, is that a problem?" She asked.

"May I see your wings?" Fluttershy asked. Toriel nods and lifts her robe, revealing her wings. Fluttershy gasps noticing most of Toriel's feathers had fallen out.

"That is NOT good!" She said. Toriel looks and notices that her wings were a mess.

"Oh, dear." She said.

"I've never seen that before..." Fluttershy said. Toriel flaps her wings, causing some more of the loose feathers to fall off.

"Eee...that doesn't look good at all..." Fluttershy said, slightly scared. Toriel looks at her.

"I've never had wings before I came here. I don't know how to take care of them." She said.

"That makes sense." Fluttershy said.

"Can the spa help with my wings?" Toriel asked.

"Sadly, no..." Rarity said. Toriel looks down.

"Oh..." She said.

"Maybe it's age that's doing this?" Fluttershy asked.

"I think that my body is adjusting to aging. Because of that, I'll age like a normal pony." Toriel said. Rarity looks at her.

"How do you know that?" She asked. Toriel looks at her.

"Well, when Asriel died, me and Asgore stopped ageing. So for a thousand years, we stayed young and never aged. But, now that we have Asriel back, we'll age like anyone else." She said.

"Being a thousand years old...you must be going through some sudden changes..." Fluttershy whispered. Toriel sighs.

"Yea, but I should get used to it." She said as she flaps her wings, causing more feathers to fall off. Toriel looks at her wings and notices that some of the missing feathers are growing back.

"Yea, see, I can see some of the feathers that I lost starting to grow back." She said.

"Good!" Fluttershy said happily.

"So, Rarity, how far are we from the spa?" Toriel asked. Rarity looks around, then blushes and points in back of them.

"We passed it..." She said. Toriel looks behind her.

"Whoops, I guess we talked so much we missed it." She said. Rarity giggles and turns back. Toriel follows. Fluttershy trots up along Toriel and gives her a soft smile.

"Your going to love this." She said.

"I hope so, because my back is killing me." Toriel said.

"Oh, it will!" Rarity said happily. She opens the glass door to the white and purple painted building. Toriel smiles and walks in. Fluttershy follows and goes up to the counter. Toriel looks around.

"Hi! Welcome to Ponyville spa! How may we help you?" A purplish pink pony asked.

"We're here for Toriel's poor aching back..." Fluttershy said. The pony looks at Toriel and notices that she was rubbing her back in pain. She shake her head.

"Oh, no, no, no, this ain't good. Lotus! We have a pony who needs a message stat!" She yelled. A blue pony who must be lotus comes trotting into the room.

"Yeah?" She asked. The purple pony points a hoof at Toriel.

"This pony needs a message, stat." She said.

"Yes ma'am!" Lotus said as she gives a quick salute and brings Toriel into another room. Toriel rubs her back as she walks with Lotus.

"Alright, uh, just lay on your stomach on this table here, and would you mind removing your robe for me, dear?" She asked. Toriel nods and takes off her robe, revealing her wings. Lotus gasps in shock.

"Y-you're an alicorn!" She yelled. Toriel looks at her and nods.

"I am, but please, no formalities." She said. She was too late as Lotus was already bowing.

"So I heard from Rarity that this place is great." Toriel said.

"W-we hope it will be for you!" Lotus said shakily. Toriel looks at Lotus with a caring smile.

"Please, there's no need to be afraid." She said, just as her back cracks, causing her to wince.

"I, urf, I just need to get this pain from my back gone." She said. Lotus nods and motions to the table again. Toriel gets onto the table and tries to relax, but exactly can't do that because of her back pain.

"Now um..." Lotus said as she couldn't think straight when she's got an alicorn in her store. Toriel slightly moans in pain. Lotus helps Toriel onto the table. Toriel gives her a pained smile.

"Thank you." She said.

"Don't you worry, you be feeling better in no time!" Lotus said with a smile. Toriel relaxes on the table as best as she could.

"Okay, here I go!" Lotus says as she gets prepared. Lotus stands over in front of Toriel and places her front hooves on Toriel's shoulders and begins firmly rubbing. Toriel slightly tenses from the pressure, but relaxes as Lotus works.

"Its going to be alright, Miss Toriel." Lotus said.

"Sorry, it's just that I never had a message before." Toriel said. Lotus nods in understanding.

"This is sure to help you." She said. Toriel nods and sighs happily. Lotus smiles at Toriel as she continues her work. Toriel closes her eyes and has this dreamy look on her face.

"Feeling better?" the mare asked kindly as she began to work on Toriel's back. Toriel nods lightly.

"See? You're doing great!" Lotus said happily. Toriel hmm's at the pleasure the massage is giving. Lotus rubs carefully along the frame of her wings. Toriel didn't notice that the other pony, Rarity and Fluttershy walk in. Fluttershy smiles.

"Enjoying the massage?" She asked. Toriel doesn't say anything, but has a wide smile on her face.

"I take that as a yes." Rarity giggled. Toriel somewhat fell asleep as Lotus worked.

"I'm glad you're enjoying this, Ma'am." Lotus said happily.

"This... feels... amazing." Toriel said. Lotus smiles and continues rubbing up and down her back.

"I know!" She said. Toriel hmm's again.

"Your coat is so soft, I must say! What shampoos do you use?" Lotus asked. Toriel thinks.

"Well, I used a special shampoo and conditioner that was called MTT brand shampoo and conditioner." She said.

"Well, it's doing wonders for you!" Lotus said. Toriel nods.

"Is your back feeling better?" Lotus asked. Toriel notices that she didn't have any pain at all, in fact she felt like she was hundreds of years younger.

"No, not at all, in fact, I feel amazing." She said.

"Shall I stop then?" Lotus asked.

"If you want to." Toriel said.

"No, no, it's up to you." Lotus said.

"I guess we could." Toriel said as she gets off the table. She stretches and small cracks could be heard. "Oh, that feels good." She said.

"That's good to hear!" Lotus said happily.

"Told you didn't we, Toriel?" Rarity asked. Toriel nods.

"I feel like I'm hundreds of years younger." She said.

"I bet." Lotus giggled. Toriel looks at Rarity and Fluttershy.

"I'll wait for you two in the lobby." She said. 

"Why dont you stay and chat?" Rarity asked. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Sure!" She said.


30 MINUTES LATER


Toriel walks out of the spa feeling so much better.

"Did you enjoy yourself Toriel?" Rarity asked. Toriel nods.

"I did." She said.

"Now what should we do?" Fluttershy asked. Toriel looks around the town. As she looks around, something caught her attention. As skeleton like pony wearing a blue sweater was staring at her and was extremely familiar to her. The pony gave her a wink and waves a hoof.

"Is something wrong dear?" Rarity asked. Toriel notices that Rarity was talking to her. She looks at her, then looks back at the pony, only to notice that he was gone.

"It's nothing, I thought I saw somepony very familiar." She said.

"Oh...well...what should we do now?" Rarity asked.

"Maybe visit Asriel and Frisk?" Fluttershy suggested. Toriel smiles.

"That would make them happy." She said, just as she saw Twilight heading their way, carrying some sort a scroll with her magic. "Hey Twilight." She said.

"Hi girls! How did the spa treatment go?" Twilight asked.

"Great! I feel like I'm hundreds of years younger. And what's with the scroll?" Toriel asked.

"An invitation to the crystal empire from my brother and his wife, Princess Cadence." Twilight said.

"I didn't know that you have a brother." Toriel said. Twilight nods happily.

"I do!" She said.

"And who's this Princess Cadence?" Toriel asked.

"The princess of the Crystal Empire and the best foal sitter ever." Twilight said. Toriel nods

"Ah, okay. Me, Fluttershy and Rarity were going to see Asriel and Frisk, would you like to come?" She asked.

"Sure, why not!" Twilight said happily.

"You can also tell me more about your brother and Princess Cadence." Toriel said.

"Sure, let's go!" she said, smiling. Toriel nods and continues walking.

"So Twilight, who is your brother?" He asked.

"Shining Armor." Twilight said. Toriel nods in understanding.

"Okay. Did he have a role or something?" She asked.

"He rules the Crystal Empire alonside Cadence." Twilight said.

"So he's a king then." Toriel pointed out. Twilight giggles.

"No." She said. Toriel is confused.

"But, he rules a kingdom, that should make him a king, am I right?" She asked.

"He's a prince, dear. Our rulers, princess Celestia and Luna should be queens then! And they're without princes and kings!" Rarity pointed out.

"When you really think about it...the way our monarchy is set up is really weird..."  Fluttershy says wth a hoof to her chin. Toriel shakes her head as a small headache forms.

"This is just all too confusing." She said.

"You'll get used to it."  Rarity said.

"I actually wouldn't mind seeing your brother, if it's not too much to ask?" Toriel said..

"It's a long train ride...and you've got Asriel and Frisk to look after. Are you sure?" Twilight asked as they approach the school.

"I actually wouldn't mind taking them and Asgore along." Toriel said.

"Alright then!" Twilight said happily. Asriel notices Toriel and shakes Frisk.

"Frisk, mommy's here!" He yells.

"She is!?" Frisk yells, having a wide smile on her face. Toriel sees Asriel and Frisk and waves at them. Frisk runs up to Toriel and hugs her leg.

"Hi mommy!" She yells. Toriel hugs Frisk with a smile.

"Hello Frisk, Asriel." She said.

"Hi, mom, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity." Asriel said. Both Rarity and Fluttershy say their hellos. Frisk doesn't let go, nuzzling Toriel's leg.

"I love you mamma!" She said. Toriel nuzzles Frisk.

"I love you too Frisk. And hey, Twilight and her friends are going to visit her brother and his wife over at the Crystal Empire and she would like us to come. How does that sound Frisk, Asriel? All four of us can visit Twilight's brother." Toriel said. Frisk looks down in sadness.

"I'm a changeling, mom...I can't go...They'll just scream and run and try to hurt me..." She sniffed. Toriel looks at her with a sad smile.

"Frisk, you made friends here at school I'm sure that they will accept you over there. In fact, hey Twilight," she said looks at her. "Can you send a message to your brother or something to let him know about Frisk?" She asked.

"Of course!" Twilight said.

"They'll just hate me...like everypony else." Frisk sniffed.

"Frisk, who said that they hated you?" Toriel asked.

"What pony doesn't hate me? You're the first one to show you cared about me, mom...I..." She sighs heavily to keep from breaking down again. "I can't go..." She said, looking down. "I'm sorry..." She sniffed.

"Awe, it'll be okay," Twilight said, giving Frisk a reassuring smile. "You're in caring hooves, alright? Nopony can hurt you with us around. We're here for you." She said as she ruffles her mane. Toriel nods. Asriel appears next to Frisk.

"Besides, you have me to protect you." He said. Frisk smiles.

"I know." She said, hugging him. "Thank you for being there for me." She said. Asriel smiles and hugs back.

"Don't you at least want to give it a shot?" He asked.

''I don't know..." Frisk said, sounding nervous.

"All of us will be here for you, Frisk." Toriel said.

"But it's the CRYSTAL EMPIRE, mom...the guards aren't gonna let me in for a second...they'll probably ut the castle on lock down and who know's what they'll do to me..." she sniffles, staring down at the floor. Ms. Cheerilee trots over.

"Frisk, sweetie...something the matter?" She w. Toriel looks at her.

"Hello Ms. Cheerilee. Twilight invited me and my family to visit her brother in the Crystal Empire, and Frisk is scared because they'll hurt her." She said.

"I can understand why she says that,"  Ms. Cheerilee says pulling Frisk into a hug. "Being a changeling will make it hard to get in." She said. Frisk hugs back.

"You guys like me...right, Mrs. Cheerilee?" She asked.

"Of course I like you, Frisk! I wouldn't be hugging you now if I didn't! At least you know you've got friends here, okay?" Ms. Cheerilee said. Frisk nods.

"I know." She said. Toriel smiles.

"So, Frisk, are you willing to give it a try?" Asriel asked. Frisk shrugs.

"Twilight, it may be a good idea to tell your brother about Frisk, so that no harm will come to her when we visit him." Toriel said.

"I know, I'll write the message when we get back to the castle." Twilight said. Frisk goes by Toriel.

"Mommy can you hold me?" She asked. Toriel warmly smiles at Frisk and holds her.

"Sure sweetie." She said. Frisk has a wide smile as she nuzzles Toriel's chest.

"Thanks mom." She said. Toriel smiles.

"At lest I will always have you, Asriel and daddy to love me, right?" Frisk asked.

"Of course, we would never leave you." Toriel said.

"That's right! I would never leave my little sister." Asriel said. Frisk smiles.

"I should get back to my friends. They want me to play." Frisk said.

"Go have fun, we'll come and get you when it's time to go." Toriel said.

"Okay momma!" Frisk said as she hugs Toriel's leg once more. Toriel looks at Asriel.

"Keep her safe." She said. Asriel nods.

"I will!" He said. He then looks at Frisk.

"Hey Frisk, race ya!" He said, running back to the school. 

"What, hey! Wait up!" Frisk yells, her bug like wings buzzing in irritation a little before she ran after him. Toriel smiles as she sees them having fun. She turns to look at Twilight.

"We might as well tell my husband about the invitation." She said. Twilight nods.

"Sure!" She said. Asgore is walking around town. Toriel notices Asgore walking around.

"Asgore!" She yelled. Asgore stopped at a apple cart and looked at what it was selling. He was thinking, he doesn't hear his wife's calls. He's was trying to decide to get a red delicious or golden delicious apple.

"Uhhh...I think I'll take a red delicious!" He said.

"Sure, that'll be one bit, sir!" The store keeper said. Asgore nods and hoofs over the bit he found earlier on the ground and takes the apple.

"Thanks!" He said. Toriel stands right behind him.

"Asgore!" She yelled. Asgore turners around, frightened.

"Honey?" He asked, dropping his Apple onto the dirt road. "Awe..." he grumbles. He stomps the ground in irritation.

"I miss having food brought to me and not have to pay for it, then I drop it..." he said. Toriel picks up the apple and cleans it off on her robe. She looks at it and sees that it's clean. She levitates it to him.

"Here you go." She said. Asgore drops his jaw with wide eyes.

"Since when did you know how to do that!?" He asked.

"Ever since I got here." She said.

"I can't... it's so annoying." He said as he tries to take the apple in his magic, but can barely make his horn glow, it only flickers yellow.

"I think I know what's wrong. You're forcing it. Don't try to force it, try and let it flow and if you can, give it a nudge." Toriel said.

"I have! I've tried everything!" Asgore yelled, before sighing. "What's the point of having a horn if I can't even use it..." he said.

"Hey it's okay, even if you can't use it, you still have me and the kids." Toriel said.

"I know, I know...how's Frisk doing? I'm worried about her. I know I don't know much of her specie, but what she's told us...I hate knowing she's away and me not being with her." He said, sounding worried. Toriel smiles.

"She's actually doing great. She made new friends at school." She said. Asgore's ears perk up.

"Really? That's great news!" He sighed happily. "When she get' home I'm gonna wrap my hooves around her and hug her tight!" He said.

"Also Twilight got an invitation from her brother from the Crystal empire, and she has invited us to go." She said.

"Crystal empire?" Asgore asked.

"From what Twilight talked about, it's a kingdom." She said.

"Oh cool..." he said. He can't really focus since he's eager to see Frisk, his little girl. He looks down and sighs. "I wanna see my daughter..." he said. Toriel gives him a smile.

"She should still be playing outside with Asriel, we can go visit them." She said.

"Okay! I really wanna make sure my little girl is okay." He said.

"Well then, let's go." She said.

"Lead the way my love!" Asgore said. Toriel smiles and walks back to the school. Frisk notices Toriel.

"Mom!" She yelled, running up to her. "What are you doing back?" She asked.

"I wanted to see you." Asgore said.

"Oh hi daddy!" Frisk said, hugging Toriel's leg.

"Don't I get a hug?" He asked.

"Yeah!" Frisk said. She goes and hugs Asgore's leg.

"Hey dad!" Asriel said.

"Hey buddy!" Asgore said as he pulls Asriel into a hug. "I love you kids!" He said happily.

"I love you too dad." Asriel said. Toriel couldn't help but smile. Frisk goes back to hugging Toriel. Asgore continues to hug Asriel tightly. Toriel smiles as she looks down at Frisk. Frisk nuzzles her leg as she hugs it. Asgore smiles at Asriel.

"How are you, son?" He asked. Toriel nuzzles Frisk.

"Everything's just great dad!" Asriel said. Frisk climbs onto Toriel's back.

"That's good to hear!" Asgore said, rufling up Asriel's mane. Toriel helps frisk up.

"Daaaaaad!" Asriel yelled. Frisk hugs Toriel's neck.

"I love you mommy!" She said happily.

"What's the matter, buddy?" Asgore asked.

"I love you too, Frisk." Toriel said.

"Not here at school, it's embarrassing." Asriel said. Frisk giggles and gets comfy under Toriel's left wing.

"Frisk doesn't see it like that." Asgore said.

"I know, but it's just, Asriel as it gets!" Asriel punned. Toriel giggles as well and and hears a badum tsh coming from somewhere. Asgore facehoofs. Frisk laughs at the pun.

"That was funny!" She laughed.

"That's my boy!" Toriel said. Asriel has a hoof out.

"Heh, heh!" He said.

"Come here!" Asgore said, pulling Asriel into a tight hug.

"So what now, mommy?" Frisk asked.

"From what I see, schools over." Toriel pointed out.

"Sorry for the pun, I just had too. Asriel said.

"Yay, now we get to go home!" Frisk yells happily. Asgore chuckles and puts Asriel on his back. Toriel notices Twilight.

"Oh, hey Twilight!" She yelled.

"So have you decided?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"Would you like to go, sweetie?" She asked.

"Sure!" Asgore said.

"Guess I'm staying home...alone..." Frisk sniffed. She gets off Toriel's back and walks a few feet away with her head down.

"Frisk, wait, you can come too, along with Asriel." Toriel said.

"I don't wanna go..." Frisk sighs, digging at the dirt road beneath her hooves. "Everypony will either come after me or run away..." she says tearing up. "I don't wanna go..." She sniffed. Toriel walks up to Frisk and pulls her into a hug.

"Its okay, we're here." She said, before looking at Twilight. "Twilight, did you tell your brother about Frisk?" She asked.

"I did, and the letter I got back...the guards simply will not allow a changeling in the castle...sorry..." Twilight apologized. More tears start to fall from Frisk's face.

"See mom? Nopony wants me around...it was a big fuss just to get me into school..." She sniffed. Toriel has a look of anger.

"I don't care what the guards say, she is my daughter, if they have a problem with that, they can talk to me." She said.

"You dont want to do that. Trust me." Twilight said nervously.

"Mom..." Frisk sniffed. "It's okay...just go..." She said.

"if she won't go, I won't go." Toriel said.

"No mom...go...i promise I'll be fine..." Frisk said. Toriel shakes her head and has a look of determination.

"No, I won't leave you here alone." She said.

"Mom  I'd feel much better if you went...dont let me being a freak stop you..." Frisk sniffed.

"Frisk, sweetie, you are many things, but you are no freak! Ponies just dont see it! From what I see they only think you are because they put you on the same level as other changelings. but they don't know you. The good heart you have. Maybe coming and getting you in somehow would probably make big on the papers, and everypony would see you aren't so bad! Asgore pointed out, gently hugging Frisk.

"I'm not letting you stay because you think you're a freak. We love you Frisk. You're our daughter and we only wish to make you happy, okay?" He asked.

"Okay, daddy...I love you too. I'll come." Frisk said.

"That's my little girl." Asgore said happily. Toriel smiles and pulls her family into a hug. Asgore kisses Toriel on the cheek, causing her to blush, before looking at Asriel and Frisk.

"I love my family so much!" He said.

"Aww!" Twilight said.

"Now then, shall we get going?" Toriel asked. Frisk nods, feeling more confident in herself.

"Uh-huh! But can I ride on Daddy's back this time?" She asked. Toriel nods and levitates Frisk onto Asgore's back.

"There you go sweetie." She said. 

"Thanks mamma!" Frisk said happily, and hugs Asgore's neck. Asgore smiles.

"Lets get going." He said. Toriel nods and looks at Twilight.

"We're ready, Twilight. And if your brother has a problem with Frisk, he can talk to us." She said.

"I'll make him understand." Twilight said, smiling at Frisk. "She's a good filly!" She said. Frisk has a wide smile on her face.

"Thanks auntie twiight!" She said happily. Toriel smiles.

"Now let's go, we can't keep him waiting." She said. Asgore nods and helps Asriel onto Toriel's back.

"Lets go, love." He said, kissing Toriel on the cheek again. Toriel nods and follows.
