Taking a Break
After the 'playdate' was finished, Papyrus provided Woona with the promised kiddy pool filled with his delicious spaghetti for her to swim around in while eating her fill. He also provided a basin to wash her in once she was done. While she swam, he decided to engage her in conversation. "SO WHERE ARE YOU FROM, WOONA?" Papyrus asked curiously.
"The surface, originally," Woona replied, much to Papyrus' surprise. "But I think my home's in the Ruins now...at least, once I do what I set out to do."
"AND WHAT IS IT YOU SET OUT TO DO?" Papyrus asked eagerly.
"I need to find my Daddy so I can bring my family back together!" Woona proclaimed happily. "Mommy's upset with Daddy, so I have to find him and punish him for being a poopyhead!"
"A WONDROUS GOAL!" Papyrus proclaimed happily. "SO WHERE IS YOUR DADDY?"
Woona raised her hoof, then blinked. "Uh...I dunno..." she offered, sinking sadly into the spaghetti.
Papyrus rubbed his chin in thought. "VERY WELL! I SHALL HELP YOU FIND HIM! TELL ME, WHO IS YOUR DADDY, AND WHAT DOES HE DO?" Papyrus flinched as something small and metal bounced off his head. "SANS! WHY DID YOU THROW A POLICE WHISTLE AT ME? I'M TRYING TO BE A ROYAL GUARD!" Sans merely chuckled in response.
Not understanding the joke, Woona decided to focus on the question. "...I dunno..." she responded finally. "Mommy didn't tell me."
Papyrus scratched at his skull for a time. "OH! I KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO! YOU CAN GO SEE KING ASGORE! HE KNOWS EVERY MONSTER IN THE UNDERGROUND, SO IF YOU TELL HIM WHO YOUR MOMMY IS, HE'S SURE TO KNOW WHO YOUR DADDY IS!"
Considering Asgore is 'Daddy', I'd say so, Chara muttered quietly. Don't tell Papyrus that, though. He won't be able to handle it.
Taking Chara's advice, Woona nodded. "What's King Asgore like?" she asked curiously.
"WELL...HE'S..." Papyrus began slowly. "...HE'S A BIG FLUFFY PUSHOVER! HE'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU!"
"Yay!" Woona proclaimed happily, licking the last bit of sauce from her hoof before leaping into the bath.
After drying off from a bath that cleaned Papyrus as much as it cleaned her, Woona made her way east out of Snowdin. Once she made her way off the snow, she dequipped her snow shoes to walk on the dirt floor inside the cavernous area that followed. The sound of falling water echoed throughout.
She soon found herself in a smallish chamber. She could see Sans behind a sentry booth, and a monster she didn't know standing beside a blue flower. MK was also there, staring out at the distant falling water. Woona eagerly approached him. "MK!"
"Woona!" MK greeted happily. "Are you sneaking out to see her, too?"
"Her?" Woona asked, confused.
"Undyne!" MK proclaimed eagerly. "The Captain of the Royal Guard! She lives here in Waterfall and she's just so awesome!" MK's grin split his face, and his eyes were filled with stars. "I wanna be just like her when I grow up!"
Woona giggled, finding his behavior adorable.
MK suddenly looked nervous. "Hey...don't tell my parents I'm here. Ha ha..."
Smirking, Woona winked. Turning, she went to talk to the red fish monster standing beside the blue flower.
"This is an echo flower," he explained, gesturing to the blue flower. "It repeats the last thing it heard, over and over..."
Curious, Woona walked up and nudged the flower, only to hear it repeat what the red fish had said in his own voice. Satisfied, she walked up to Sans. "Are you a sentry here, too, Sans?"
"what? haven't you seen a guy with two jobs before?" He shot her a conspiratorial wink. "of course, two jobs means twice as many legally required breaks."
Woona giggled. "So how many jobs do you have to work until you're taking so many breaks you don't have to work at all any more?" she asked wickedly.
Sans chuckled. "now you're thinking like me," he praised. "i'm about to go on break, actually. i'm headed to grillby's. wanna come?"
Woona smiled eagerly. "Sure!" She clambered up Sans' clothes until she could settle in his hood.
Smiling, Sans walked through the archway of the path ahead...only to step through the entrance of Grillby's. "like my shortcut?" Sans asked happily, glancing at his hood...only to find it empty.
"I love it!" Woona proclaimed happily from a bar stool. "Much easier than climbing up and down!"
Dear lord, Sans, what have you done? Chara groaned.
Chuckling, Sans greeted everyone as he made his way to the bar, making a joke about breakfast and brunch as he went that had everyone laughing. As he took his seat, however, the sound of a whoopee cushion went off. "eh?"
"I'm still too light to have it do anything, so I put it on your seat!" Woona replied impishly as the gathered monsters laughed at Sans getting caught by his own joke.
Sans laughed good naturedly. "nice one, woona. so what would you like to eat?"
The souls of the innocent! Chara hissed out, doing his best to make his voice menacing.
Woona merely smirked. "A bagel!" she piped up happily.
WHAT?
"Two bagels!"
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
As Woona giggled and Grillby - the fire monster that ran the restaurant - fetched the bagels, Sans smirked. "you really like teasing him, huh?"
"As much as he likes teasing me and everyone else!" Woona replied happily.
Chara suddenly chuckled wickedly. So Sans, how does it feel knowing the little girl you're talking to has a man inside her?
Sans skull smacked against the bar. "shut up, chara," he grumbled. "i don't need that mental image..."
"Huh?" Woona asked, confused. "What's wrong with it? It feels good have Chara inside me. Feels all warm and exciting."
Grillby decided not to question why Sans was banging his head repeatedly against the bar. Besides, even though he couldn't hear Chara's howls of laughter, they still made the air around Woona feel a little chilly. As such, Grillby left the bagels there and moved away.
After a time, Sans got some control of himself. "want some ketchup?" he offered calmly.
"Not thirsty!" Woona replied as she nommed on her bagel.
Chuckling, Sans chugged the ketchup. "so...what do you think of my brother?"
"He's silly!" Woona replied with a giggle. "I like him!"
Sans couldn't help but chuckle at that. "he's also really determined," he explained. "he keeps trying to get into the royal guard. one day, he went to the captain's house and begged her to let him in. course, she shut the door on him, since it was after midnight. but come morning, he was still there."
Woona laughed. "Bet that made her stop and think!"
"yup," Sans agreed. "she decided to give him warrior training. it's...uh...still a work in progress."
"He'll make it," Woona said firmly. "I know he's kind and soft and squishy inside...but he just needs something to really inspire him...something to fight for. If he had that, he'd be unstoppable."
"...you really think so?" Sans asked, surprised.
"Yup!" Woona proclaimed firmly. "You've seen how energetic and emotional he can get, and Mommy told me that's the source of strength for Monster Magic. If he had something that made him want to turn all that emotional energy into power..." She shivered in excitement. "And I know he'll find it one day. I believe in him."
Sans stared at her, stunned. "...if anyone else told me that, I'd probably just laugh it off. but when you say it...i want to believe it."
Chara was pointedly silent.
"oh yeah," Sans suddenly spoke up, the world around the pair seeming to briefly fade out of existence. "i wanted to ask you something. have you ever heard of a talking flower?"
Woona blinked. "...do you mean the Echo Flowers, or Flowey?"
Sans said nothing for a time. "...so you do know what I mean..." he replied. "...papyrus told me once that a flower sometimes appears when no one else is around and whispers things to him. i...wanted to believe it was just someone pranking him with an echo flower, but...i've had too many nightmares to believe something like that so readily anymore."
"...nightmares?" Woona whimpered softly.
"...sometimes, dreams aren't just the antics of your subconscious," Sans explained. "especially not here in the underground. sometimes...dreams are events that have no longer already happened..." He gently stroked her mane. "i...didn't want to tell you that. i'm...pretty sure you know why..."
"...the bunny lady told me Papyrus bought a tough glove and manly bandanna from her," Woona replied woodenly. "I...dreamed him giving them to me. The dream that...turned into a nightmare. That...that really happened, didn't it?"
"not anymore it didn't," Sans replied softly. "put it out of your mind, woona. it's not a choice you made, and you shouldn't feel guilt for something you wouldn't have chosen to do if you knew what would have happened. and now, you didn't make the choice."
"...that doesn't wash away the guilt of knowing it was real..." Woona whimpered softly, starting to cry. "T-tia..."
"...someone important to you?"
"My big sister," Woona replied. "And...I saw her...amongst the fallen in my nightmare...unmoving..."
Carefully, Sans scooped Woona into his arms. "shh..." he whispered to her. "it's alright..." Reaching out, he placed his hand on the torc that, to him, held no mystery. "just sleep...and have happy dreams that are only dreams..."
Woona slowly felt herself drifting off as DETERMINATION filled her being.

Poor Sans.
Honestly don't know what to make of this big reveal and the dirty joke beforehand
Bum
I keep thinking TF2.
Did you know they're making a Kindergarten Cop 2? It's s**t.
Also, ASGORE'S HER FATHER!?!?!?
Hmm... I still find this cute...!
That has got to be one of the best comics ever!
Also:
I too, do not understand.
This too:
MAGNIFICENT THINKING
Then there's this:
BADABING BADABOOM
One more:
*is also banging head* curse my dirty mind
All in all, keep up the MAGNIFICENT work. It fills me with DETERMINATION.
Poor Woona, while I'm kind of glad for Sans to tell the truth to her, I still feel sorry for her for dealing with that kind of pain.
Wonder what funny business she'll get up to with him when she finds the abandoned quiche?
Okay, ignoring Chara this time. On the other hand, SANS IS THE BEST CARETAKER SINCE ZHAO YUN, HANDS DOWN!
I want a bagel.
Two bagels.
Snowdin doesn't have a mayor, but if there's a problem, a skeleton will tell a fish lady about it. Thaaaaat's politics!
Oh, hey, just like that guy with the alt!script predicted.
...
Heh.
Oh?... I wonder why... nah, I'm just kidding, we all know that it's because he doesn't want to get dunked on... right?
Pretty good chapter, I have to say. Can't wait for more.
Sans is definitely her Guardian Angel.
Yassss the Schwatzeneger tho!!!
This Chara is both more pathetic an yet more devious than the original.
welp, looks like i have a new story to read.
DETERMINATION!
Ha! That bagels comic reference! I love it!
i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/027/294/f5f.jpg
I also love how Woona used Sans' prank against him. That little filly is learning a lot from him!
Guess Papyrus and Woona really used their noodles to think of a good plan eh?
Huh, so she can leave. Guess they weren't Snowdin after all.
Who knew such a hot place could have a chilly atmosphere.
Sans is trying to help Woona to ketchup but she doesn't need it.
6953863 Hands down? But then he would drop her! Please, let her rest!
I love the bagel skit! But you made another reference that I didn't see in the comments. Lunabagel. A funny, silly tumblr blog. It may not have been on purpose, but it was amazing. In this case, it would be Woonabagel.
6954373 HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

EEEEEEEEEEE! woona and sans more cute than a chicken
a marshmellow 
a coupla apples 
a princess 
two trixies 
and a pinkie smile
6953706 If children who fall into the underground sometimes call Toriel "Mommy", and Asgore and Toriel are married, then what does that make Asgore to Toriel's (adopted) children?
6953706 you stole what i was going to do. *shrugs* oh well.
Another enjoyable chapter. Good work.
Hey, before you read this comment, know this: I"be been reading ever since Fortresshy, and that fic made half a year for me. I definitely respect you as an author, and you are respected by a lot more than just me. That being said:
I've watched a lot of the Undertale YT vids as of late, and I feel like your drawing a lot of small jokes, that I didn't mind at first. But now that it is effecting the plot, I just think that a bit more of that Tatsorou Magic we all love is needed.
6954630
I'm not actually using all that many, and I don't see how it's affecting the story beyond deliberately.
6954643
thats not foreboding at all
Oh my gosh. MK is Scootaloo and Undyne is Rainbow dash. And now that I've written that I can never unthink it.
6953706 so you don't know who flowey is either then get ready for a reveal down the line
6954892 oh, I have played the game, and I have beaten both styles. Man, never had I teared up and bawled that hard since the washed away mother scene from the first Ice Age, Ash dying in the first Pokemon movie, Optimus Prime's death bed in the animated Transformers movie, the note Jenny at the end of Forrest Gump, The ending to My Little Dashie... man, a LOT of stuff made me cry.
But yes, the good ending to Undertale... tears of joy.
6953924
You called?
Anywho, I always thought Asgore was in the right with what he did, he may have forced the Monsters to stay underground, but they seem happy enough. If Asgore had waited for one human, then left to gain six more souls, like Toriel said, he would have had to kill more humans to defend himself. His way is the one with the least death.
Also, every monster in the ruins were to afraid to even talk to Toriel. She vilified Asgore, in spite of the truth.
In conclusion, Toriel is a bitch. Please don't burn my house down, my plushies life there.
6954951 *shrugs* Eh, I think they're right and wrong in their own, mutual way, maybe..
encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTj5GKVnyUfZgQRWuEY8u-_dSQkIkLU1BaHjJ00DLjnN2YoqRAAHtgHI7dfrA
I couldn't find the original...I just went with this because lazy
Also, bagels? Why not donuts? Donuts are gooood~ There like fluffy bagels that have chocolate icing and sprinkles! (Chara would obviously like that) They also come with different flavours and toppings like-
*The commenter proceeds to talk about donuts*
Aww... did my comment not post?
How in the heck can this be so cute and so deep at the same time? Witchcraft! Witchcraft, I say!
awesome new chappie man, hahahaha XD
Satisfied?
6954643 eh, guess we just watched a lot of the same ones. It looked like the one with the One Punch Frisk joke was starting to affect the plot, as this is where Woona learns about resets. Just being cautious.
I LAUGHED HARDER THAN I SHOULD HAVE AND IM IN PUBLIC!!!
6955916
That was deliberate.
When it first happened, it was important Woona not realize what she had done.
On the other hand, it's important at this point that Woona learn resets were possible...and that couldn't happen without her realizing the truth of the previous event. It had to happen soon enough for Woona to be able to learn to make use of it at need, but late enough that said realization wouldn't destroy Woona.
perfection Kudos to the good joke insert
6956678 ah, so the joke was a plot device that was thought out?
Props to you, then.
I don't get the bagels part.
hmmm, im disappointed about sans not making a comeback to chara along the lines of finding an easier way of getting a sex change than dying and possessing a girl
I wish I could upvote every chapter, cause each chapter just keep getting my feels! XD
Do you know what, I'm half expecting Celestia will come looking for her soon, she's probably worrying herself sick, imagine either Asgore or Toriels surprise if a frantic Celestia comes tumbling into the underground.
