Toriel, a friendly monster who helped out a human. She wanted Frisk to stay, but the human said that she wanted to go home. Toriel was saddened when the human left the ruins to head back to the surface. When she went back home, she found a strange artifact that wasn't hers. She finds a note saying "Do you want to go to the surface?" Toriel touched the artifact and is transported to a new world and in a new body.

Chapter 1: The note and the artifact

View Online

Toriel is sitting in a chair next to a crackling fire in her fireplace, reading her favorite book, 72 uses for snails. It was a calm night, a slight breeze whistling through the leaves outside, causing some to move. She closes her book and sighs, taking off her reading glasses. It was cold, other than the fire, since the place was located underground. Toriel gets off the chair and onto her feet. She enters the kitchen next to the living room and sees what was left of the cinnamon-butterscotch pie sitting on the counter. A memory of the human named frisk taking the slice of pie from her popped into her head. The scent of the cinnomon sailed into her nostrils, as if begging to be eaten. She ignores the delicious smell and walks out of the kitchen. She walks to the entryway and walks down the stairs towards the gates that Frisk went through. The smell of cinnamon lingered in a slight scent in her nose, making the thought of consuming a slice become a larger possibility. Toriel stoped in front of the gate, it's purple doors looming over her. She remembered when Frisk proved to her that she can take care of herself. Toriel began to worry, wondering if Frisk would be okay. She knew Frisk was quite frisky, and her deeds were rather risky, especially under the influence of whiskey. She shakes her head and walks back to her home. Thee smell of the pie assaulted her nostrils again. As she started to climb the stairs, she heard a thud coming from the top of the stairs. She blinks.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" She asked. It was a bump, and how that bump made her jump. As she neared the top of the stairs she sees something that she has never seen. It looked like a tiara with a purple starburst on it. She also saw a note attached to it. She takes the note and opens it.

"Would you like to come to the surface?" The note said. Toriel blinks multiple times.

"Is this some sort of joke?" She asked in a bemused manner. She looks around. "Asgore! If this is some sort of joke to get me back, it's not going to work!" She yelled. There was no reply. Toriel looks back at the tiara with her dragon eyes.

"If he didn't drop you here, then who did?" She muttered.

"Twilight Sparkle" It said on the bottom of the note.

"Twilight... Sparkle?" She asked. She picked up the tiara. But as soon as she did, she felt dizzy. The Tiara emitted a bright purple glow from the star. Toriel's vision started to get blurry as the world started to spin. She fell with a thud to the floor. She gave a moan before losing consciousness. Toriel moaned again as she started to come back around. She slowly opened her eyes. The world around her was vibrant in colors, with a wide open sky above her. She looks around.

"Wha...what?" She asked. She stands up on all fours. She looks down and her eyes widen. Instead of her white furred hands, she sees white hooves. As she looks at her new hooves, her breathing quickens. She looks around and sees that shes in a forest. Everything was calm and quiet. Toriel carefully takes a step, her new legs wobbling. She slowly takes another and another until she could slowly walk. She found herself next to a lake and looks at herself. She sees an all white equine with a long horn wearing her robe stare back at her. She could also see that she still has her dragon eyes. She looks behind and sees that she has bumps on her back. She lifts her robe back to reveal beautiful wings. She put the robe back the way it was and saw a mark on her flank. She sees a heart surrounded by a flame. She thought the fire was engulfing the heart, but as she looked closer, she could see that the fire surrounded the heart like a shield, protecting it. There was a rustle in a nearby bush. Toriel turns towards the bush with a slight gasp. There was a small yip. She stared at the bush with confusion. Then there was a whimper. She carefully walks towards the bush. A wooden object fell out of the bush. Toriel stares at the object.

"Huh?" She asked. She looks back at the bush in front of her and parts it. There lay a wolf like creature, about as small as a cat, with its right hind leg stuck in a tree root. Toriel gasps. "Oh my. Hold on little one, let me get you out of there." She said. She reaches for the tree root that's holding the wooden wolf like creature. The wolf whimpers and whines in fear.

"Shhh, it's okay little one, I'm not going to hurt you." She said. The wolf seemed to understand and calmed down. Toriel frees the wolf's leg from the tree root. "There we go, you're free now." She said. The wolf licked Toriel's cheek and rose its flank into the air with his head low, panting. Toriel chuckles at the wooden wolf and lightly pats it's head. The pup pounced up and grasped her hoof, playfully. Toriel smiles at the wooden wolf pup.

"Do you have a home or a family little one?" She asked it. The pup wagged his tail and ran off to the right, looking back at Toriel. She follows the wolf pup. The pup leads her through some bushes and into a large cave. She continues to follow the wooden wolf pup with not one bit of fear. Inside, there were three more wooden wolves. Two were large and fully grown, the other was a pup, but smaller than the other one. The largest of the wolves stood up and approached Toriel. Toriel looks at the large wolf with curiosity. The wolf sniffs her for a bit and licks her cheek. She smiles. The pup pounced and jumped around in front of Toriel. She slightly giggles as she played with the pup. The pup tackled her hoof. Toriel smiles wider as she continues to play with the pup. It jumped and latched onto her chest.

"Oh, careful now little one, you don't want to damage my robe." Toriel said. He giggled and went to her back, where he jumped to the top of her head and yipped. The other wolves watched curiously, the other pup hid behind the mother. Toriel sees the other wolf pup hide behind the mother wolf. She kneels down until she's laying on her stomach.

"It's okay little one, you don't have to be shy." She said. The mother wolf picked her up in her mouth and set her down in front of Toriel, followed by a few reasurring licks. The other pup was chewing on Toriel's mane. She carefully holds her hoof out. The pup back up a bit, whimpering slightly. Toriel pulls back her hoof.

"Maybe next time little one." She said. The mother holds the pup. The one atop Toriel's head ended up getting tangled in her mane. Toriel looks up at the tangled wolf pup. "Hold on, I'll get you untangled." She said. The pup wiggled and wriggled. Even with the wolf pup wriggling, Toriel managed to free the pup from her mane. The pup slipped and fell in front of her. Her horn starts to glow a fire red and the pup is caught before it hits the floor. The pup looked around, confused. Toriel's eyes widen as she looks up and sees that her horn is lit. She looks back at the floating pup and has a idea. She concentrates and the floating pup is gently set onto the floor. The pup giggles. Toriel sighs in relief and smiles, knowing that the pup is okay. The pup hugs Toriel. The male adult licks the pup. She smiles and looks at the male adult wolf.

"Um, excuse me, I don't want to be rude, but is there a town or village nearby?" She asked. The wolf stood and exited the cave. She stood as well and followed the wolf. He stood outside the cave and pointed down a dirt trail. Toriel nods and looks at him.

"I will see you soon whenever I can." She said. He nodded. The male pup came running out and jumped onto her back and hugged her neck. Toriel smiled and carefully hugged the pup back. It licked her cheek a few times before running back to his father. She waved goodbye as she walked down the path. It had begun to rain. She looks up.

"Oh dear, I better hurry before my robe is ruined." She said. She begins to go at a faster pace. It was a slight rain, a little above sprinkling. As she went, she stepped on a rock and tripped, causing her to face plant into the ground.

"Ow." She moaned. Wet mud clung to her fur and robe. She stands up and brushed as much of the mud off as possible, only getting a little bit off. She sighs and continues to walk down the path. She ended up tripping over a tree root not too long later, getting covered in more mud. After walking and tripping for a little bit longer, she sees a town with a Crystal castle.

"I guess this is the town." She said. A few passing fillies saw Toriel and ran away screaming. Toriel watches the fillies run away with confusion.

"Um, okay?" She asked. She then realized how much mud she was covered in. She tries to wipe off as much mud as possible, but so much has clung to her fur that she's having trouble. She groaned in frustration. She gave up, only managing to get off only a little bit of mud. She walks towards the town. More passing ponies stare at her as they go by. Toriel ignores the stares as she continued to walk, looking at the town. Some of the ponies ducked into the nearest building. She walked around, lost and didn't know what to do. Nopony said a word to her. She stopped and stood there, rubbing her head with her right fore hoof because of a headache forming. Closing doors from retreating aponies, and the rain hitting the ground were the only sound to be heard. Toriel looked around and saw a building next to her, a building that looked like a carousel. She walks up to the building. The lights were on, and there was yelling within. She knocks on the door. There was a gasp, and a clang.

"Coming!" A voice said. Toriel waited patiently. A white unicorn mare appeared in the door, with a frazzled purple mane.

"Uh, sorry, Just some..." The mare stopped talking and notices Toriel covered in mud. Her jaw drops and the door shuts.

"Well that was quite rude." Toriel said with a bemused face. She knocks on the door again, this time a little harder. The door opens and the mare appears again.

"Sorry, I just wasn't expectin a mud covered pony...twice my height come to my doorstep and I may have gotten a bit scared..." She said.

"It's okay, I just came from the forest outside of town, that's why I am covered in mud, kept tripping over roots and rocks." Toriel said.

"Oh, well, uh...how should I go about doing this?" The mare asked.

"I just need some place to wash my robe and to wash this mud off. Do you know of a place where I could do those?" Toriel asked.

"Yeah, the shower is upstairs..." The mare said.

"Thank you Miss um." Toriel said.

"Rarity." The mare said.

"Thank you Miss Rarity. My name is Toriel." Toriel said. She walks into the building. Rarity puts a hoof over her nose. Toriel walks up the stairs and into the bathroom that Rarity told her about. She flipped the switch to what could be an overly decorated bathroom. "Wow." Toriel said. She looks around in amazement.
"I've never seen a bathroom so clean before." Toriel said.

"What was that darling?" Rarity asked. Toriel looks back a Rarity.

"I said I've never seen a bathroom this clean before." Toriel said.

"Oh yeah, I'm sort of a germophobe." Rarity said.

"I see." Toriel said. Her horn lights and she carefully removes her robe, freeing her wings, which have some mud attached to them. Rarity gasps.

"You're an alicorn!?" She yelled. Toriel looks at Rarity with confusion.

"Alicorn?" She asked.

"How...do you not know what you are...or are you just playing with me?" Rarity asked. There's confusion in Toriel's dragon eyes as she blinks. Rarity faints.

"Oh dear." Toriel said. She walks towards Rarity, just as another pony walks in. This time a filly. Toriel looks at the filly. The filly screams at a really high pitched wail. Toriel jumps in fright.

"You killed Rarity! You bastard!" The filly yelled.

"No, no, no! She just fainted, you can see so." Toriel said. The filly begins hyperventilating. Toriel points a hoof at Rarity, showing that she is still breathing.

"...oh..." The filly said. Toriel was about to say something, when she heard the front door bang open.
"Search everywhere!" said a voice and several hoofsteps were heard through the building.

"Who was that?" Toriel asked.

"You're in big trouble. " The filly said. She ran to the stairs. "Up here guys!" She yelled. Toriel shakes her head in confusion.

"What?" She asked. Soon six poines came running up the stairs.

"Rarity!" Yelled a purple pony that has wings and a horn like Toriel. Toriel tilts her head in confusion.

"Huh?" She asked.

"She did it!" The filly yelled, pointing at Toriel. Toriel was about to say something, but was slammed into the wall by a rainbow blur. She cries out in pain.

"Who do you think you are to hurt our friends!?" The rainbow mane'd pegasi holding her yelled. There was fear in Toriel's eyes as she looks at the Rainbow mane'd pegasi.

"I didn't hurt her, she fainted when she learned that I was an alicorn." She said.

"Lies!!" The rainbow pegasi yelled. As Toriel was slammed against the wall a second time, she cried out in pain again.

"Rainbow, I think she's had enough, and Rarity is still breathing." The purple alicorn said.

"Fine." Rainbow grunted. She glares at Toriel. Toriel looks at the ponies with fear as she sits on her flank.

"I can tell you've been having a bad day. You're covered in mud, being accused of killing my friend, and shoved into a wall." The purple alicorn said. She sighs. "Girls, get Rarity to her room." She said. The other ponies nodded and did as told.

"I am very sorry, miss..." She said.

"T-Toriel." Toriel said.

"Tutorial?" The alicorn asked. Toriel shakes her head.

"No, Toriel. To-ri-el." She said.

"Oh! You stuttered and made it sound like tutorial. " The alicorn said. She blushed from embarrassment. "Sorry." She apologized. She holds a hoof out to help Toriel up. Toriel grabs the purple alicorn's hoof and stands up, towering over her.

"Wow...you're s-so tall!" The alicorn stammered. Toriel looks down at the purple alicorn with her dragon eyes.

"Oh, um, I don't mind it. And, I never got your name." She said.

"It's Twilight Sparkle." The purple alicorn said. Toriel's eyes widen.

"Wait, Twilight Sparkle?" She asked.

"Yes?" Twilight asked.

"So it was your tiara that brought me here." Toriel said.

"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Well, when I was in my home underground, I was walking up the stairs when I heard a thud a the top. I see a tiara with a purplish color starburst in the middle. When I touched it, it brought me here." Toriel explained.

"...That wasn't me..." Twilight said. Toriel was quite shocked.

"Then, if it wasn't you who sent me here, the who did?" She asked.

"I have no clue to be honest. Did you say you live underground?" Twilight asked. Toriel nods.

"I did." She said.

"How come?" Twilight asked.

"I always lived underground, mostly in a house in some ruins." Toriel said.

"What do you do there?" She asked. Toriel suddenly gasps.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no! If I don't get back home, anything that falls into the underground will be lost without me!" She yelled. Toriel started to panic.

"What do you mean by anything? Like living beings?" Twilight asked. Toriel still continues to panic.

"Yes." She said.

"That doesn't seem too good..." Twilight said. Toriel quickly puts back on her robe, ignoring the mud and runs past Twilight and out of the room.

"No no, no, no, no, no, no! I must get back." She said. Twilight follows.

"How will you even know where to go?" She asked. Toriel suddenly stoped.

"I.... I don't know. I've never been to the surface. Usually there's a giant hole leading down to the underground." She said. She hangs her head low. Twilight puts a hoof on her shoulder.

"I'm sure things will be fine." She reassured. Toriel looks at Twilight with a slight smile.

"Thank you." She said.

"Do you know what part of Equestria you're from?" Twilight asked. Toriel shakes her head.

"No. I lived underground my entire life. So, no I don't." She said.

"Whats so dangerous down where you live anyway?" Twilight asked.

"I lived with monsters." Toriel said.

"Oh, that's not good..." Twilight said.

"Oh, no, don't worry. We did make a fine civilization in the underground. There were monsters ranging from snow drakes to walking volcanoes. Even Miss. Muffet, with the help of her spiders, do make very good pastries. And its all runned by a king named King Asgore." Toriel said.

"Wow, I've never heard anything like that before!" Twilight said in surprise. Toriel nods.

"Everyone was happy. We even had royal guards." She said. Twilight nods.

"And... well. Asgore was sorta into me and... made me queen." Toriel said, blushing slightly.

"That's nice, and what creatures usually fall down the hole?" Twilight asked.

"Human mostly." Toriel said.

"Human? How can that be possible!? There's no humans in this world, except the world parallel to this one." Twilight said.

"Well, there has been six humans to have fallen down into the underground. And you said that there is a world parallel to this one?" Toriel asked. Twilight nods.

"Where there are human counterparts to everypony here, there." She said. Toriel is interested.

"I've only seen those six humans, but a whole world filled with them, I would like to see. I've read about humans in my books." She said.

"What were the humans like you encountered?" Twilight asked.

"Well, they were like the skeletons, except with flesh and hair." Toriel said.

"I see." Twilight said.

"But I would still like to see this other world." Toriel said.

"Oh, I don't know about that..." Twilight said. she rubbed the back of her neck with a sheepish expression.

"Well, why not?" Toriel asked.

"It's complicated." Twilight said.

"Let me guess, it's being guarded." Toriel said.

"That, and only I am permitted to go through." Twilight said. Toriel rolls her eyes.

"I'm not surprised." She said. Twilight tilted her head from the sudden change in mood Toriel had.

"How come." She asked.

"Asgore hid things from me and guarded them from me, such as five human souls that he had collected." Toriel said.

"Souls? So...he killed them!?" Twilight yelled, looking rather shocked.

"I don't know, he probably did, or they died of other reasons. I don't know. But after I found out that he has them, I was through with him. So, I left him and lived in the ruins." Toriel said.

"Oh dear...so what did you do with any humans then that came down the hole?" Twilight asked.

"I asked them if they wanted to stay with me. I always wanted to be a teacher. But, they left all the same, except one." Toriel said.

"Where is that one now?" Twilight asked.

"She left as well, but she stayed the longest. She even slept in the room I had made for her." Toriel said.

"I assume you also want to be a mother." Twilight said. Toriel slightly blushes and nods.

"I'm sorry..." she said.

"It's okay." Toriel said. She heard a door open and looks. She sees the other ponies except Rarity come out of the room. Rainbow looks rather guilty.

"Hey..sorry for you know...pushing you..." She apologized. Toriel looks at her.

"It's okay." She said.

"I thought you hurt my friend..." Rainbow said. Toriel looks at Rainbow like how a teacher looks at a student who is in trouble.

"You should really think before you act. You nearly gave me a heart attack." She said.

"S-sorry..." Rainbow apologized. Toriel sighs.

"Just don't do it again." She said. Rainbow hugs Toriel. Toriel hugs Rainbow back. Suddenly Rarity came out looking weak and tired. Toriel looks at Rarity.

"Are you okay Miss. Rarity?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks Darling." Rarity said. Toriel smiles.

"That's good. And... I still need to get this mud off of me. It's starting to irritate my wings." She said.

"Oh yes take your shower then." Rarity said. Toriel nods and walks back into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

"So uh...now what?" Twilight asked. Toriel takes off her robe and starts the shower. Rarity sighed.

"I guess I'll go and wash her robe as an apology for her troubles." She said. Toriel tries her best to get the mud off of her. Rarity went downstairs where she went into the washroom to wash the robe. Toriel tries to grab the soap with her hooves, but it slips.

"Just tell us if you need anything!" Twilight yelled. Toriel looks up at the door.

"Will do!" She yelled back. Twilight smiles. Toriel grabs the soap with her magic.

"I have you now." She said. The girls went downstairs. After minutes of scrubbing the mud off, she was clean. She turns the shower off and get out. She notices that her robe wasn't here.

"Huh, where'd it go?" She asked. She walks out of the bathroom. Rarity lets out a sigh as she hung the robe to dry. As Toriel walks down the hallway, she sees the filly that screamed at her, along with two other fillies headed in her direction.

"Hey, um..my sister told me to say sorry for acusing you of killing her, so... I'm sorry..." The filly that screamed at her said. She looked down sadly. Toriel looks down at her with kindness.

"It's okay little one, you were just protecting your family, I can understand that." Toriel said.

"But I got you beaten up and everything..." The filly said. Toriel kneels downs to the filly.

"Look, you shouldn't be angry at yourself, it's not your fault, you didn't know. I would probably do the same if somepony that was dear to me was hurt." She said.

"I still feel bad about it.." the filly said.

"What would make you happy?" Toriel asked. The filly shrugs.

"Dunno." She said. Toriel stands up.

"Oh yea, I forgot your names." She said.

"I'm Sweetie Belle, and these two are Applebloom and Scootaloo!" The filly said, pointing a hoof at the two other fillies behind her.

"Hello to you three. My name is Toriel." Toriel said.

"We heard." Sweetie belle said, smiling weakly. Toriel smiles back.

"So...you're an alicorn...do you have like some sort of royal duty?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, where I was from, I was a queen. But not anymore." Toriel said.

"Well, what happened?" Applebloom asked. Toriel looks away with a slightly sad look.

"I... don't really want to talk about it." She said.

"Awe, it's okay." Applebloom said. Toriel looks back with a smile.

"Thank you. Now, shall we see if Rarity is done with my robe?" She asked.

"Okay!" Sweetie belle said. She turns and trots down the stairs with Scootaloo and Applebloom. Toriel follows behind the three fillies.

Rarity hums as she finished drying up Toriel's robe. Toriel hums as well. She hums a happy little tune as she carefully walks down the stairs. Downstairs, the other five ponies had been browsing Rarity's current inventory. As Toriel steps off the last step, she looks at the ponies and notices a peculiar pink pony stare at her with a wide smile. The pink pony waves with a smile so wide, Toriel was scared if she smiled any further, her jaw would snap. Toriel waves back. The others began to notice her and waved as well. Rainbow walked over.

"H-Hey..." She said nervously. Toriel looks at Rainbow.

"Hello." She said. Toriel could see that Rainbow is blushing and rubbing the back of her neck with a hoof.

"So uh...how are things?" Rainbow asked. Toriel smiles.

"Things are just fine, thanks for asking." She said.

"I feel really bad I hit you...I thought you hurt my friend and my instincts just triggered and I guess I lost control..." Rainbow said.

"You know, Rainbow was it, you remind me of Undyne." Toriel said.

"Undyne?" Rainbow asked. Toriel nods.

"Yes Undyne. She is one of the royal guards where I came from, a bit of a hothead if you asked me. Always wearing that big bulky armor." She said. Rainbow giggles slightly.

"Her armor is kind of like my ego! Which can be a bad things at times..." She said. Toriel smiles and looks around. She sees Rarity look over her robe, which is clean, as if think of something.

"So Twilight told us you came from underground?" Rainbow asked. Rarity notices Toriel looking at her, and waves with a sweet smile.

"I'm almost done, darling." She said. Toriel waves back at Rarity and looks back at Rainbow. She nods.

"I did come from underground. I lived in a house in some ruins." Toriel said.

"Where from?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, we didn't have any names for where we're from." Toriel said. A orange yellow pony wearing a hat walks up to Toriel.

"So Twi also told us you came here from some message attached to a tiara like hers?" The pony asked. Toriel looks at the pony and nods.

"Yes." She said.

"H-how did you get supplies to even surive?" A yellow shy pegasus asked.

"Yeah, and why were you there in the first place? I assume somepony forced you to live there since nopony decides to live underground." Rainbow said.

"Well, I lived with monsters where I'm from. They made a pretty good living, opening up shops, restaurants, and even a bake sale that is owned by Mrs. Muffet. As for being forced to live down there. I wasn't forced to live down there. I lived down there my entire life." Toriel said.

"And I'm gonna guess there was a war between monsters and the humans in which the humans won the war, and exiled the others to the confinement of the ruins in which you lived till you came here because of a magical message!?" The pink pony yelled. Toriel was quite shocked at the pink pony.

"Yes, how did you know?" She asked. The hat wearing pony chuckles with a small roll of her eyes, giving a soft punch to he pink pony's right foreleg.

"Pinkie Pie here can guess things on a whime without knowing a thing!" She said. Toriel shakes her head.

"Anyway, everyone was happy where I lived." She said.

"What about Frisk?" Pinkie pie asked. Toriel suddenly gasps and starts to panic.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" She yelled. She runs towards the front door, only to trip and fall on her face halfway there. Pinkie pie looks confused.

"What's wrong with her?" She asked.

"Don't know." The hat wearing pony said. She wakes up to Toriel and helps her up. "Is...Frisk somepony you know?" She asked.

"I... I nearly forgot about her! She is a human who stayed the longest when she stayed with me before she left to get out of the underground. I... I'm worried, she may be hurt, or injured, or worse!" Toriel yelled, panicking again. The pony that helped her up put a hoof on her shoulder.

"Hey, hey, don't go panicing on us. I'm sure she'll be okay." She told Toriel. Toriel looks at the hat wearing pony with a sad look.

"Thank you, Miss um..." She said.

"Applejack." The hat pony said, smiling at Toriel. Toriel slightly smiles back.

"Thank you." She said.

"No problem." Applejack said, patting Toriel's back. "Was this frisk like a daughter to you?" She asked.

"Well, yes and no. She did feel like a daughter to me when she stayed with me before she left." Toriel said.

"I hope she's okay." Applejack said. Toriel nods.

"I hope so too, she did prove herself worthy of taking care of herself." She said. Rarity trots over to the small group of ponies with a smile, carrying Toriel's rob in her magic.

"Here's your robe, dear!" She said happily. Toriel looks at the robe and smiles. She takes it with her magic.

"Thank you, Rarity." Toriel thanked. Rarity nods.

"No problem." She said, smiling up at Toriel. Toriel slips the robe on and sighs in happiness, then she remembers.

"Oh, I need to pay you for this Rarity. But..... I don't have any money." She said, looking down slightly.

"Dear, Your robe was an absoelut mess! you're lucky it didn't get stained. I just couldn't bear to allow you to wear such filthy garments!" Rarity said with disgust, smiling sweetly. "You needn't worry about your budget, or the lack of it really. But, there are MANY jobs in Ponyville you could try to get into, or start your own!" She said. Toriel puts a hoof to her chin and thinks.

"Well, I always wanted to be a teacher." She said.

"Oh! Mrs. cheerilee could possibly hire you as a substitue for when she can't work!" Rarity said. Toriel puts her hoof down and smiles.

"I could do that." She said. As she looks around, she noticed that a certain purple alicorn was missing. "Huh? Where's Twilight?" She asked.

"Oh, she had to leave in a hurry for some reason. She spoke so fast all I heard was letter and Celestia." Rarity said. Toriel tilts her head in confusion.

"Celestia?" She asked.

"Oh! The lead princess of Equestria." Rarity said.

"Ahh, ok." Toriel said. She was about to speak again, when the door suddenly opens and Twilight walks in alongside what looks like a lizard.

"Hi! I'm back I just had to send a letter to Celestia about our new friend!" Twilight yelled, smiling at Toriel.

"That was quick." Toriel said.

"Just like how she lead us to defeat Nightmare Moon in no time at all." Applejack said. Toriel looks down at the lizard.

"And who might this be?" She asked.

"Oh, this is Spike! I've had him since he hatched! I was just a filly. I hatched him actually." Twilight said, hugging spike.

"So technically, you'll be his mother, since you hatched him." Toriel stated. Twilight's eyes widen.

"Oh no, no, no, no! He didn't come from me! I just used a magical spell to make his egg hatch! But he is like a son to me." She said, nuzzling spike.

"Awe, come on Twilight, you know I don't like all this mushy lovey dovey stuff!" Spike complained. Toriel smiles slightly.

"That's cute." She said.

"Please, mom." Spike said." Twilight giggles and let's him go.

"You called me mom." She said.

"I...I didn't mean it." Spike said. He crosses his arms and looks away.

"Awww." Toriel said. Spike looks down. Twilight kisses him on the head. Spike turns to look at Twilight.

"You...you kissed me..." He said.

"Kind of hard to when you don't like all the mushy stuff." Twilight said, smirking at him. Spike rolls his eyes. Toriel smiles at the sight. Suddenly, Spike burps and fire shoots out of his mouth, forming a scroll.

"Oooh! I wonder what it says!" Twilight said happily. She takes it in her purple magic and began reading.

"Well? What's it say?" Rainbow asked after a few moments. Toriel walks closer slightly, intrigued at what she saw.

"It says that the princesses would like to see you, and they have dispatched a chariot to pick us up." Twilight said. Toriel shakes her head.

"Wait, princesses, as in more then one?" She asked.

"Yeah. There's me, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Priness Cadence." Twilight said.

"Oof, must be hard to be a princess." Toriel said.

"Yeah, it can be hard." Twilight said.

"I wonder what Asgore is doing." Toriel muttered.

"Who is he?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"Hmm?" She asked.

"Who is this Asgore?" Twilight asked.

"I thought I told you about him before I took a shower. But if not, then he's the king of the underground." Toriel said.

"Heh heh, oh yeah..." Twilight said in embarrassment, blushing slightly. Toriel smiles slightly. Suddenly, a shadow appeared over the building.

"Huh? What was that?" She asked.

"Probably Discord with his tricks." Twilight said in a bemused manner. She goes back outside, but only to return with two guards wearing golden armor. "Nevermind! It's just our ride! Come on Toriel!" She said. She goes back out to the chariot. The two guards stay to wait for Toriel.

"This way, your highness." They said, noticing that Toriel is a alicorn. Toriel walks out of the store and outside. The guards lead her to the chariot and helped her in before going back to the front, getting ready to take off.

"You'll love the castle!" Twilight said happily. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"You'll think so?" She asked. She looks around and sees other ponies look at the chariot. "And if I may ask, how will we get there?" She asked again.

"They fly us. Now let's go!" Twilight said. The guards noded and took off into the air.

"Woaaaaaaah!" Toriel screamed as the wind whipped around her.

"Faster!" Twilight commanded and the guards obeyed as they turned towards a large castle in the distance. Toriel grips the side of the chariot with a strong grip and breaths heavily.

"You okay? We're hardly even moving!" Twilight said. Toriel let's go and takes deep breaths.

"Sorry, it just surprised me, that's all." She said.

"It happens to everypony on their first time who hasn't flown." Twilight stated. She tilts her head at Toriel.
"Have you never flown before? You DO have wings you know." She said. Toriel shakes her head.

"I've never flown before." She said.

"How come?" Twilight asked.

"I lived underground and hardly left my house, except to save those humans." Toriel said.

"That would explain it." Twilight said. "But I'm sure Rainbow Dash wouldn't have a problem helping you learn to fly." She said. Toriel smiles.

"I wouldn't mind that at all." She said.

"And since I'm the second most powerful being in Equestria when it comes to magic, I can teach you all I can how to use your magic!" Twilight said happily.

"Thank you, Twilight." Toriel said.

"And I'm sure the princesses will try to find where you came from and try to send you back." Twilight said. Toriel smiles at the thought.

"I would like to go back." She said.

"I'm sure you must miss Firsk, huh?" Twilight asked. Toriel nods.

"I do." She said.

"I'm sure you'll see her soon." Twilight said, patting Toriel's back. Toriel smiles.

"Thank you again, Twilight." She said.

"That's what friends are for." Twilight said. Toriel nods and notices that they were nearing a castle that seems to be built on the side of a mountain.

"Oooh! We're almost there!" Twilight said happily. Toriel stares at the castle with amazement.

"Wow." She said.

"Yeah, the biggest highlight in all of Equestria. To think thre are only four ponies to rule over billions!" Twilight said.

"That's... That's quite impressive." Toriel said.

"It is!" Twilight said. She giggled as they came to land in front of the castle, where there were four more guards, being unicorns, were waiting for them.

"This way." The guards said in unison, with emotionless expressions. Toriel steps off the chariot and follows the guards. Twilight walks alongside Toriel, with two guards to either side of the pair.

"I'm gonna miss you when you leave, Toriel. But I hope your stay here with us. Down in ponyville to be exact." She said. Toriel looks at Twilight. She was about to say something, when she tripped over something and fell. Twilight screeches slightly.

"Toriel! Are you alright? Darn over turned tile!" She yelled. She glared at one of the white bricks on the side walk as one end of it stuck up out of the rest. "Here, let me help you." She said. she lit her horn and lifted Toriel with her magic. Toriel shakes her head.

"Thank you." She said. Twilight nods with a smile.

"Let's continue shall we?" She asked. Toriel nods.

"Yes." She said. Twilight smiles and resumes walking. Toriel follows behind Twilight. Twilight slows so she walks alongside Toriel. Toriel looks around, amazed with the details of the castle.

"I'm sure the princesses will like you. Celestia is the open type of pony who is willing to be friends with anypony! Luna is more skeptical, and can be hard to get to if you don't make a good first impression. Now Cadence is a very sincere, and caring pony. I'm sure she'll like you." Twilight said. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"Seems like Celestia sounds just like me." She said.

"Great! I'm sure you two will get along just fine! but, if you get on her bad side...you don't wanna know..." Twilight said, shuddering a little bit. Toriel laughs slightly.

"Yep, sounds just like me." She said.

"Eh, you two must be related then!" Twilight laughed. Twilight laughs hysterically as the guards lead them down many halls and up several flights of steps. Toriel looks at Twilight with a confused look.

"I'm kidding! That can't be possible! Faust only had two children! Celestia and Luna!" Twilight yelled. Toriel raises a eyebrow.

"Faust?" She asked.

"What?" Twilight asked, shocked.

"Nothing, nothing." Toriel said.

"Okay. This conversation got a little weird, didn't it?" She asked as they came to a large door, which the guards opened for them.

"Right through her your highness." They ordered. Twilight rolls her eyes.

"I think I know my way around the place." She said, smiling at Toriel as she walked in. Toriel follows Twilight into a vast room. Toriel could see two alicorns sitting on thrones. She could see a white alicorn with a slightly rainbow like mane. Toriel knew that this must be Celestia. Princess Celestia smiled from her throne on the other side of the room as she stood and slowly approached.

"Ah, Twilight! Is this the friend you told me about? Toriel was it?" She asked, looking at Toriel, her voice was kind, yet powerful. Toriel nods.

"I am. And are you Princess Celestia?" She asked. Celestia nods and looks back to a slightly shorter, dark blue alicorn.

"Lulu! Come meet our guest!" She said.

"Oh...yeah." The dark blue alicorn said, approaching shyishly. "Hi there. I'm Princess Luna. Celestia's sister." She said. Toriel bows.

"Its an honor." She said.

"You're an alicorn. How can that be?" Celestia asked.

"Before, I didn't look like this." Toriel said. Celestia was a little taken back from the statement.

"Wh-what do you mean?" She asked. Toriel tells them about what she looked like before, where she lived and how she lived there all her life, about the underground, about King Asgore, about Frisk and how she took care of her before she left, about the six human souls that Asgore kept to break a barrier that held the monsters back from entering the surface, and ending it where she found the tiara that Twilight said was a duplicate and ended up here. Celestia nodded her head now and again to Toriel's several points.

"I'd assume you miss your home?" She asked. Toriel looks down with sadness.

"I do. But, I've never been this happy before, except when I was taking care of Frisk." She said. Celestia sighs.

"I would send you back if I could." She said. Toriel tilts her head in confusion.

"What do you mean "if I could?"" She asked.

"By what you tell me I an only assume you aren't from Equstria." Celestia said. Toriel nods. "Well, It was magic that sent you here, so maybe I can try to sniff out the trace and see if I can pinpoint where you came from." Celestia said. Toriel smiles.

"Thank you." She said happily. Celestia smiles. Toriel looks around and sees stained glass windows. She walks towards them and sees that they are pictures.

"These aren't just windows." Celestia said.

"They tell stories of the past." Luna said. Toriel looks back at Celestia and Luna.

"The past?" She asked. Celestia nods.

"Hundreds of years." She said. Toriel looks back at the Windows with amazement.

"Wooow." She said.

"Most of the windows in the castle tell a story. Hardships we've overcome, joys we've had, special ponies to remember." Twilight said.

"Anything you can think of." Celestia said, smiling. Luna looks at one of the windows and looks down with a sad expression. Toriel sees a window with a alicorn that looks like Luna but different looking. She looks at Luna.

"Hey Luna, that looks..." She stopped when she sees Luna's expression. "I'll... just skip that one." She said.

"Yeah let's skip that one..." Celestia said.

"No...she deserves to know. It's the whole point of these windows, is to tell their stories." Luna said. She looks at Toriel. "You see, I wasn't always a kind mare...I tried to overthrow Clestia. Over a thouand years ago. Nopony liked my night, being the princess of it, and I became angered, and turned into...that. " She said, pointing at the window. "Nightmare Moon." She said. Toriel was quite shocked.

"It was hard for everypony." Celestia said sadly.

"Especially Tia." Luna sniffed.

"I had to banish her to the moon. For a thousand years sadly. Being my only close relative, and only pony to talk to...it was very depressing." Celestia sniffed.

"All because I was so selfish..." Luna said. She looks down as a tear slips from her eye. Toriel places a hoof of Luna. Luna looks at Toriel. "You are a kind pony, Toriel. Please don't make the same mistake I once did..." She sniffed. Toriel looks at Luna with kindness, then pulls her into a hug. Luna is shocked, but hugs back.

"Thank you, kind Toriel. Your generosity shall not be forgotten." She said, smiling. Toriel looks at her.

"No one should go through the pain that you went through." She said.

"It wasn't me. It was Tia who suffered the most..." Luna said.

"It must have been hard for both of you." Toriel said. Celestia nods. Toriel smiles as well. Suddenly, her stomach growled.

"Hungry?" Celestia asked. Toriel slightly blushes and nods.

"Twilight, take out friend to the dinning hall would you?" Celestia asked.

"Yes, ma'am!" Twilight anwered cheerily with a determined face.

"Lead the way Twilight." Toriel said. Twilight nods with a smile and trots out of the throne room. Toriel follows behind her. Twilight motions for Toriel to trot at her side rather than behind her.

"I can't talk to you when you're back there!" She said. Toriel nods and picks up the pace, walking beside Twilight. Twilight slows down a bit for her as well. "So, how do you like the castle?" She asked.

"It's very impressive, as impressive as King Asgore's castle." Toriel said.

"Hm. I shall hope to see this Asgore's castle!" Twilight said with glee.

"Minus the room with the human souls, you just might." Toriel said.

"Souls?" Twilight asked.

"The five human souls that he collected, that I told you about." Toriel said.

"Oh, yeah..." Twilight said in embarrassment. Toriel slightly laughs, when something caught her eye. She looks and sees a door that it open. She walks towards the door curiously. Twilight doesn't seem to notice and keeps going. Toriel walks inside and looks around in amazement.

"It looks like a library." She said. She looks around and sees all sorts of books. But a certain piece confused her. It was a mirror with tubes and coils coming out of it and a book with a red and yellow sun on it above it. "A mirror?" She asked. after a minute she finally realizes Toriel is no longer at her side.

"Toriel?" She asked. She seemed confused as she began to back track in search of the foriegn alicorn. Toriel walks up to the mirror and sees her reflection. She raises a hoof and touches the mirror. She expected her hoof to touch glass but instead it went through and instead of a hoof, a hand was in its place. It looked like her hand before she came to equestria. She backs up, slightly scared, only for he legs to slip off the edge of the stairs and fall backwards away from the mirror. She screams as she fell. Toriel lands on her back on the ground with a thud.

"Ow." She moaned. Twilight hears the scream.

"Toriel!?" She yelled. She got worried and runs off in the direction in which she heard the scream come from. She came to the library where the door stood wide open. Twilight hears a thud and goes to investigate.

"Toriel?" She asked. Toriel stands back up and sees Twilight standing in the doorway. Twilight peers in. "Toriel? What are you doing in here?" She asked. She goes to help her up. "You fall a lot, did you know that?" She said.

"Sorry, Twilight, it's just that I saw this door open and I was curious. But if I may, what's up with this mirror?" Toriel asked as she walked back up to it, starring at her reflection.

"Oh, that mirror leads to a world parallel to ours!" Twilight said. Toriel noticed that Twilight was standing next to her. Her eyes widen.

"Wait, this mirror leads to the human world?" She asked.

"I don't know if its the same world, though." Twilight said.

"That's... that's quite interesting." Toriel said in amazement.

"I only go through there if my Canterlot High friends are in trouble. Lately there's been nothing." Twilight said. Toriel looks at her.

"Wait, you have friends over there?" She asked. Twilight nods.

"Human counter parts of my pony friends here. Like Luna and Celestia! Only Celestia is the principle of a school, not the world leader." She said. Toriel was about to say something, when there was a flash of light and something heavy slammed into both of them, sending them into the mirror.

"AGHH!!" Twilight screamed.

"YAAAAH!!!!!" Toriel screamed.

"AAAAAAAAH!!!!" A third voice yelled. Twilight lands outisde of the portal with a thud on the sidewalk. Toriel lands outside of the portal with a thud on the sidewalk as well.

"Ooof!" She said. A voice very familiar to Toriel moaned. Twilight rubs her head with her hand.

"Ugh...what happened?" She asked. Toriel moans.

"Ugh, something is on top of me." She moaned. Twilight looks to see a large form with a cape and a helmet with horns opun his head. The form moans again. The form rolls off Toriel. Toriel stands up and looks at her self. She could see that she looks like herself. She then looks at the form that was on top of her and gasps. Twilight tries to use her magic to push the being off Toriel, but comes to the sudden epiphany her horn is gone.

"Oh, yeah..." She said, facepalming. Toriel stares at the form. Twilight stands up.

"What is it?" She asked. The form moans and opens eyes. It turns it's head and looks at Toriel.

"T-Toriel?" The form asked.

"A-Asgore?" Toriel asked.

Chapter 3: A little family reunion

View Online

Toriel stares in shock at Asgore.

"A-Asgore!?" She yelled. Asgore gasped in shock

"Toriel!" He yells. Toriel narrows her eyes and crosses her arms.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with anger. Asgore looks down.

"I'd rather not talk about it. what are you doing here?" He asked. Toriel rolls eyes and looks away.

"Pffh." She huffed.

"What?" Asgore asked, confused. Toriel looks back at him.

"I'm just surprised that you're here. The last time I saw you, you were taking care of you're golden flowers." She said.

"It's uh...a rather long story I'd rather not go through the embarrasment of telling how I got here...where ever HERE is." He said.

"A human world filled with human versions of ponies." Toriel said.

"Really? Huh...weird.." Asgore said.

"And you knocked us here." Twilight said. Toriel nods in agreement with Twilight, when she heard a voice yell Twilight's name.

"Wha?" Twilight asked. She looks in the direction of which the sound if her name being called came from. Toriel looks as well and sees five girls heading their direction, a girl with a familiar pink hairdo waving. Twilight smiles and approaches them.

"Hey girls!" She said happily as they pulled her into a group hug.

"What are ya doin here!?" A girl that must have been Applejack asked.

"Yeah, it's been forever and ever since you were last here, and we all missed you!" Pinkie said.

"Well as nice as it is to see you guys, it wasn't my intent to come here." Twilight said, blushing.

"So why are you here then?" A girl that looks like Rainbow said.

"Well, me and my friend were knocked through the portal by accident." Twilight said. Toriel walks towards the girls. Asgore follows. Toriel stands next to Twilight, towering over them all. The five girls stare up at toriel. Toriel waves hello to the girls as Asgore stands next to her, at the same height.

"Woah! you two are so tall!" Pinkie yelled. Toriel shrugs and looks at Asgore and notices that he's wearing his bulky armor.

"You never take that thing off, do you." She asked.

"Nope!" Asgore said. Toriel facepalms and sighs, shaking her head.

"Same as you've held you grudge against me, so, fair game." He said, chuckling sarcastically.

"Touche." Toriel said.

"I also believe I haven't recieved my hug yet." Asgore said. Toriel crosses her arms and looks away.

"This is getting awkward..." Twilight said. Asgore pulls Toriel into a warm hug. Toriel doesn't hug back, still having her arms crossed.

"I love you." Asgore said, holding her gently in his arms. Rainbow have a look of disgust.

"Well...uh..we see y'all are busy an whatnot, so we'll just be going..." Applejack said. Toriel doesn't say anything, but has a slight look of anger on her face.

"Come on, for old times sake." Asgore said, nuzzling Toriel's cheek.

"No." Toriel said.

"Why not, my queen?" Asgore asked. Toriel looks at him.

"Don't, call me your queen, not after you took those human souls." She said.

"What if I gave them back?" Asgore asked.

"How, how would you give them back when monsters like us couldn't get through the barrier blocking us from reaching the surface?" Toriel asked.

"I don't know...but at least im willing to. I just want you back." Asgore said. The girls all had awkward faces as the walked away.

"I would only stay with Frisk is she came back to me." Toriel said, looking away.

"Ah, Frisk. Sweet little girl, but she's moved on." Asgore said. Toriel looks back at him with anger.

"Did you kill her. Because so help me if you did!" She yelled.

"No! Of course not!" Asgore said. Toriel's anger slightly subsides, but still shows it on her face. Asgore holds Toriel closer, softly rubbing her head. Toriel sighs.

"I'm still not going back to you." She said.

"Can I at least have a hug, my love?" He asked.

"Not right now." Toriel said. Asgore continues to hug Toriel.

"Asgore, please, why are you here?" She asked. Asgore sighs and looks down.

"I wish not to talk about it..." He said.

"Not only that, what's up with this I hear from Toriel that you absorbed human souls?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"He collected the souls in special containers." She said.

"What for?" Twilight asked, looking sternly at Asgore.

"None of your business." Asgore said, crossing his arms. Toriel looks sternly at Asgore, then back at Twilight.

"He kept the souls so that he can break the barrier that's blocking us from going to the surface. He wanted to rage war with the humans, because when he went to the surface, he was gravelly injured by humans. They were scared of him. But he didn't have to collect five human souls, he could have done it with just one." She said, glaring at him. Asgore scoffs.

"Wow...I don't know what to say." Twilight said in shock.

"Let's just say, that he's also afraid of the humans as well, since they hurt him." Toriel said.

"He got what he deserves then." Twilight said, crossing her arms. Toriel shakes her head.

"He only went to the surface, when something horrible happened to us." She said.

"And that was...?" Twilight asked.

"The humans locked us away underground. So, Tori, you haven't explained how you ended up here." Asgore said.

"Just like how you won't tell me how you got here, I won't tell you." Toriel said. Asgore sighs heavily.

"Flowey." He said. Toriel looks back at him.

"What?" She asked.

"Flowey...killed me..." Asgore said. Toriel was shocked.

"H....how?" She asked. Asgore rubs his temples.

"I don't know." He said.

"I... I knew that he was evil, but not that evil." Toriel said.

"He stabbed me in the back..." Asgore said. Toriel looks down and clinches her hands into fists. Asgore looks down from embarrassment. Toriel's hands burst into flames as she looks like she wants to hit something very hard.

"T-Toriel? Are you okay?" Twilight asked, sounding scared. Toriel looks at Twilight, showing hatred in her eyes. Twilight takes Toriel's hand.

"You can tell me, Toriel. I'm your friend." She said. Toriel's expression softens and her hands cease to be on fire. She has a sad look on her face as a tear falls from her eyes.

"Flowey, used to be our son, Asriel." She said.

"I..I'm sorry to hear." Twilight said.

"This all happened when the first human came to the underground." Toriel said.

"So...Flowey is your son?" Twilight asked. Toriel nods.

"He... used to be our son... before he became Flowey." Toriel said.

"I..I'm so sorry..." Twilight said. Toriel looks down with sadness. Twilight hugs Toriel. Toriel looks at Twilight with a slight smile.

"Thank you, Twilight." She said. Twilight pats her back. Toriel smiles.

"Maybe he'll come to his senses someday." Twilight said. Toriel nods.

"Maybe Frisk shall bring him back." She said.

"Let's hope so." Twilight said. Toriel nods and notices girl with red and yellow hair walking towards them, waving.

"Hmm?" She asked.

"Twilight!" The girl yelled, coming running out of the school.

"Sunset Shimmer! Hi!" Twilight yelled, waving. Toriel tilts head in confusion.

"Huh?" She asked.

"Toriel, this is my friend Sunset Shimmer!" Twilight said.

"Hi!" Sunset shimmer said, waving with a smile at Toriel. Toriel waves back.

"Hello." She said. Sunset holds a hand out to Toriel. Toriel takes Sunset Shimmer's hand and shakes it.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." She said.

"I love the costume!" Sunset said.

"Well... these aren't costumes." Toriel said. Sunset tilts her head in confusion.

"We're not exactly from around here." Toriel said.

"I know that! I know Twilight isn't wearing a costume. I thought you were though." Sunset said, blushing in embarrassment. Twilight giggles.

"We think Toriel here came from another world." She said. Toriel nods in agreement. Sunset crosses her arms with a smirk.

"Discovered another already, huh?" She asked.

"Well, it's more like she discovered us." Twilight said. Toriel nods.

"It's true." She said.

"That's interesting! What is your species called? I'm sure Twilight already told you what we are here." Sunset said. Twilight nods.

"Well, our species were called boss monsters. Either than that, I don't know." Toriel said. Sunset raises a eyebrow.

"It's true!" Toriel said. She looks at Asgore and sees him look at the building behind them.

"Is this your castle?" Asgore asked.

"No...its the school I go to..." Sunset said. Toriel's ears perk up.

"Did I hear school?" She asked.

"Yes, you did. Why?" Sunset asked.

"She wants to become a teacher." Twilight said.

"Oh, maybe they'll hire you! First trans dimensional teacher!" Sunset said. Toriel smiles at the thought of herself teaching.

"Well come on! I don't think being from another world will affect your chances." Sunset said. She motions for Toriel to follow. Toriel looks at Asgore, and sighs.

"You can come with me if you'd like." She said. Asgore nods and follows. Toriel follows Sunset shimmer.

"This way." Twilight said as she leads Toriel down a hall to the right.

"So, Toriel, have you had any experience in teaching before?" Sunset asked.

"This place is puny and small." Asgore said. Toriel glares at Asgore, before looking at Sunset.

"Well, I taught a little bit of math to a couple of humans, either than that, not much." She said. Asgore nudges Sunset's arm.

"Any classes for teaching about snails?" He asks, smirking at Toriel.

"Well...Life science may have things about that...why?" Sunset asked.

"Toriel loves snails." Asgore said. Toriel smiles.

"Ooh yea! I had this book, my favorite book, called 72 uses for snails." She said.

"You love snails so much I bet you found a 73rd use ." Asgore said, laughing hysterically. Toriel deadpans at Asgore. Asgore ruffles her hair. Toriel shakes her head.

"Still cute as always." Asgore said. He plants a soft kiss on her cheek. Toriel blushes slightly, before shaking her head again.

"Good luck on getting that job." Asgore said.

"Awe thats nice!" Twilight said, smiling. "In here." She said, opening up a door for Toriel.

"Thank you." Toriel said, ducking a bit and entering. Sunset motions for Asgore to go in. Asgore chuckles.

"I won't fit through there." He said. Sunset shrugs.

"Okay." She said, going in after Twilight. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"If you want to come in, you have to take off that armor." She said.

"Nope!" Asgore said. Toriel facepalms and sighs in irritation.

"This is also why I'm not coming back to you." She said. Asgore feels a sting in his heart.

"Fine. Sorry for trying to change, because I love you." He said, shaking his head and leaves. Toriel places a hand on Asgore's shoulder and looks at him.

"Look, I didn't say that I don't love you. It's just... that it will take some time." She said.

"You said it yourself you won't come back to me. Now I have nothing..." Asgore sighed. He walks away, knocking his armour off as he does. Toriel runs up to Asgore.

"Wait!" She yelled.

"Leave me be, pest." Asgore said. He ignores her and walks faster. Toriel was shocked at what Asgore said.

"My whole life I've done what I could to keep you happy. I went out and fought a war to keep us monsters safe, and you safe! I failed, and we were locked underground! Then we had a little boy named Asriel who turned out to be not so sweet. Then you left me! I only took those human souls because it was they who banished us to the ruins! I only wanted to keep you and our son safe from harm! And then, my own son kills me, and I end up here in some world I know nothing about, except it's filled with HUMANS! And what a coicidance it was you were here! After so many years I just wanted to make ammends, but all you can do is brag how you will never take me back! Do you think I really needed that after being killed by my own flesh and blood!? The last thing I need is for you to have a sudden change of heart and pretend to care! My life has become a wreck, and I don't need to be taunted by the one I hold nearest to my heart!" He said, beginning to tear up. "I at least thought through everything, I'd have you and Asriel...turns out you both hate me." He said.

"Don't follow me either." He said, continuing to walk away. Toriel looks down as tears fall from her face. Sunset stood with a slightly dropped jaw, unsure of what to do. Twilight tightly hugs Toriel. Tears stream down Toriel's face as she cried.

"It's gonna be okay. Just let it out." Twilight said. She pats Toriel's back as she holds her close. Toriel bends down and picks up the armor that Asgore took off. Twilight helps to pick the pieces up.

"So...still want to go apply for a job?" She asked. Toriel sighs as she wipes the tears from her eyes.

"I...I guess." She said.

"What's wrong?" Sunset asked.

"I... I don't know if... if I will see Asgore again." Toriel sniffed.

"It really seemed like you didn't want to see him..." Sunset said.

"I do want to see him, but after taking the human souls, that's when I stopped being with him." Toriel said.

"Based on what he said, he had a good reason to." Sunset said.

"But it was one of those things hwere you do the right thing, but in the wrong way." Twilight said. Toriel looks down with sadness.

"Twilight, you get Toriel a job, and I'll go get Asgore." Sunset said. Twilight nods.

"This way, Tori." She said. She brings her to another door which she rose a hand to knock on. Toriel shakes head and has a look of determination.

"Come in!" A voice said. Twilight opens the door and walks in, motioning for Toriel to follow.

"Morning your highne-...er...principle Celestia." Twilight said. She waves as she walks in. Toriel ducks slightly and walks in.

"Twilight?" Principle Celestia asked.

"Hi! I...never planned on coming here today, but I have my friend, Toriel here, who is looking to get a job here!" Twilight said. She motions for Toriel to take a seat. Toriel sits down in a chair in front of the desk.

"I'm, surprised that your here." Principal Celestia said. She looks at Toriel. "And who may this be?" She asked.

"Toriel. And just to let you know, she's not wearing any costume. She's from another world!" Twilight said. Toriel waves hello.

"Hello!" She said. Principal Celestia was quite shocked at what Twilight said.

"Wha... what did you say?" She asked.

"Toriel isn't from here, or my world. She came to my world on accident by some magical note attached to a tiara that looked like my crown." Twilight said. Toriel nods.

"Anyway, what can I do for you both?" Principle Celestia asked.

"Go ahead and tell her." Twilight said, smiling at Toriel.

"I would like a job teaching here." Toriel said.

"Well, let's see what I have." Principal Celestia said.

"Anything specific, Tori? Like math?" Twilight asked. Toriel nods.

"Yes, anything in the math department." She said. Principal Celestia nods as she takes out some papers. Twilight pats Toriel on the shoulder. Toriel looks around and sees a poster, sponsoring something called "The friendship games."

"The friendship games?" She asked.

"Oh, it's a competition between schools. It's mainly about teamwork and making friends!" Twilight said.

"A competition, Asgore....would have... liked.....that... " Toriel said, looking down.

"I'm sorry to hear. Also, Here are some forms you will need to fill out." Principal Celestia said, giving Toriel some forms. Toriel wipes a tear away from her face, grabs the pen, and fills out the form.

"Something wrong, Toriel?" Principle Celestia asked.

"She kind of just got into a small fight with her ex husband?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks at Twilight and nods.

"Toriel." Principal Celestia said as she places a hand on Toriel's shoulder and smiles. "If you need anyone to talk to, Im sure Twilight would be the best one for that." She said. Toriel looks at Principal Celestia and smiles.

"Thank you." She said.

"I'd try to help, but I'm always busy with paperwork. " Principal Celestia said. Toriel hands Principle Celestia the forms.

"Here you go." She said. Celestia looks over the papers.

"Thank you very much!" She said. Toriel smiles.

"No problem." She said.

"Now, then. I see you're good with children, correct? You've dealt with one at a time, but how would you handle thirty on average?" Celestia asked.

"Truth be told, I'm a little nervous, but I think I can handle it." Toriel said with a look of determination. Celestia nods.

"That's good to hear. Now, every student has a different personality. Who knows, one might come in and put an apple on your desk, and another, a thumb tack on your chair, which is never fun. They may always be the quiet one, or the one who always raises their hand, or possibly one who lauches spitballs across the room. See where I'm going with this?" She asked. Toriel nods.

"Yes." She said. Principal Celestia puts her hands together under her chin.

"I'll start you off as a sub for small classes, mostly made up of special ed students, where there are about ten students per class. Students who find it more difficult to learn than others. Does that sound good?" She asked. Toriel nods.

"So, youll need a phone if you don't have one, since teachers will need to text or call you to ask or you to sub for them if needed." Celestia said. Toriel pulls out a old cellphone.

"I have this. It may be old, but it does it's job." She said. Celestia nods.

"Good. What's your number?" She asked. Toriel gives Principle Celestia her number. Celestia adds it into her phone and sends a massage to Toriel saying hi.

"Tell me if you get my text. I just like to make sure the number is real."+She said. Toriel feels her phone vibrates and she looks at it. She sees the text.

"Yes, I got it." She said.

"Great! Now, seeing how you're new here, do you eve have a place to stay?" Celestia asked. Twilight nods.

"She'll stay with me. She can just come through the portal when needed." She said.

"Sounds like a plan!" Celestia said. She reaches out to shake Toriel's hand. Toriel takes Celestia's hand and shakes it.

"I'm sure you'll enjoy working here at CHS." Celestia said. Toriel nods and smiles.

"I probably will." She said happily.

"And may you return to where you came since I'd assume you wish to go back." Principal Celestia said. Toriel nods.

"I do want to go back. But, let's put that on the back burner for now and focus on this." She said. Celestia nods.

"I'll see if one of the math teachers would like a day off, and i'll fill you in their spot to start you off tomorrow. Sound good?" She asked. Toriel smiles.

"I would like that." She said. Principal Celestia smiles.

"You start tomorrow." She said. Toriel nods and stands up. Principal Celestia smiles at Toriel. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"Anyway, we should probably head back, we don't want the princesses to worry." She said. Twilight gasps.

"Oh I forgot!" She yelled. Toriel opens the door for Twilight.

"After you." She said. Twilight giggles.

"Yes Miss Toriel!" Twilight said. Toriel smiles. She steps out of the room and sees Asgore and Sunset Shimmer stand in front if them. Asgore has a look of apology. Toriel crosses her arms and looks at Asgore as her smile fades into a frown.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"Certainly not you." Asgore said flatly, refusing to look at her. Sunset punches his arm.

"You need to apologize!" She yelled.

"For what? Doing what i can as a father and husband to keep my family safe? My outburst was me expressing my feelings. I have nothing to apologize for." Asgore said, crossing his arms. Twilight sighs. "All I wanted was my wife and son back...guess that's too much to ask for." He said, beginning to walk away.

"Wait." Toriel said, placing a hand on Asgore's shoulder. "I... I don't want you to leave." She said.

"Once again. Mad to sympathetic in an instant. How much longer much you torture me like this?" Asgore asked, not looking back.

"I'm... I'm sorry." Toriel said.

"Sure you are." Asgore said as a tear slips down his cheek.

"I... I only left you... because I thought that you would go mad with power because of how strong a human soul is. And after what has happened to our son. I... I didn't want to burden with the pain. So please... I'm sorry." Toriel said.

"I wish I could forgive you..." Asgore sniffed.

"You still can." Toriel said.

"Not if you're just going to continue to toy with me. Especially at a time like this." He said. Toriel spins Asgore around until their eyes met.

"Look at me, I'm sorry okay? Do you know how hurt you made me feel when you yelled at me." She said. She looks down away from Asgore before looking back at him. "I'm sorry okay? What more do you want from me?" She asked.

"I never wanted anything but for you to love me. Me expressing my feeling may have hurt you, which i'm sorry, but it's nothing compared to the pain you've caused me." He said. Toriel's expression turns into sadness as she looks down.

"Please....I don't.... I don't want you to go..." She sniffed.

"Why?" Asgore asked. Toriel looks back at Asgore.

"The truth is... I do miss you. Besides the monsters in the ruins, I was quite lonely." She said. Asgore sighs.

"Fine. I guess I forgive you." He said. Toriel hugs Asgore with a smile.

"Thank you." She said. Asgore hugs back. Toriel continues to smile as a tear falls from her face. Asgore sniffles and cries sofly, holding Toriel tightly in his arms. More tears stream Toriel's face.

"I've missed you so much, my love. I...I just want things to go back to the way they used to be. I can't go another night without you!" He yells.

"I miss you too, Asgore. I miss you so much." Toriel sniffed. Asgore smiles.

"I love you, Toriel." Asgore said.

"I love you too, Asgore." Toriel sniffed. Asgore holds toriel close, sighing happily.

"I was begining to think you didn't love me anymore..." He said.

"I would never do something like that." Toriel said.

"I'm just glad to be holding you in my arms once again." Asgore said happily.

"Same here." Toriel said happily. Asgore reaches into his pocket, and pulls out ring and slides it on her finger.

"I bet you want that back?" He asked. Toriel gasps and blushes. She nods. Asgore takes her hands in his again.

"Now we only need our son and everything will be happy again." He said.

"I hope he's okay." Toriel said. Asgore smiles and kisses Toriel on the head. Toriel smiles widely, then looks at Twilight.

"Anyway, shall we head back, I'm sure the princesses are pretty worried by now." She said. Twilight nods.

"Good luck guys!" Sunset yelled. Toriel waves at Sunset as they stop in front of the statue. She looks at Asgore.

"After you." She said.

"You know it's ladie first." Asgore said. Twilight sighs sarcastically and pushes them both through.

"WOOOOAH!!!" Toriel yelled. Asgore holds Toriel close, fearing she was scared. Toriel looks at Asgore with a slight blush.

"I'm fine Asgore, I didn't know that Twilight was going to push us." She said. Asgore chuckles nervously.

"Sorry." He said.

"It's okay, Asgore." Toriel said as the both of them exit the portal and enter the library. Toriel was turned back into a alicorn, while Asgore was turned into a white unicorn with black armor. Asgore is dazed, and falls onto the floor. Toriel gasps and helps him up.

"Are you okay, Asgore?" She asked.

"Yeah, just tripped is all." He said. He tries to stand on two legs, and ends up falling again. "Oof!" He grunted.

"You have to walk on fours instead of two." Toriel said. Asgore looks at Toriel.

"What's tha..." He stopped when he sees Toriel's horn.

"Uh...you got a little something on your forehead..." He said. Toriel laughs slightly.

"Don't worry, it's a part of me. I also have these." She said, pulling back her robe a little bit and extending her wings. Asgore jaw drops and eyes go wide.

"Why did you never tell me before!?" He yells.

"It's because we're in a different world, were we're ponies instead of bipedal beings." She said.

"Ponies!?" He yells. He looks at himself and faints. Toriel looks down at Asgore on the floor.

"Oh, dear." She said.

"I had a feeling this would happen." Twilight groans. Suddenly, Sunset falls through the portal, landing on her belly.

"Toriel! You forgot this!" She said, holding out Toriel's phone. Toriel looks back at Sunset and levitates the phone to herself.

"Thank you Sunset." She said. Sunset looks at herself.

"Heh, I'm a pony again." She said. "But I have to get back now." She said. She quickly hugs Toriel, and goes back through the portal. Toriel smiles before looking at Asgore, who's still out cold on the floor. Toriel lifts Asgore onto her back, only to buckle a little due to the weight. Toriel then notices Princess Celestia and Luna standing at the doorway. Twilight smiles at them.

" Hello your highness!" She said.

"Where have you been?" Celestia asked sternly. Twilight looks at Asgore.

"He knocked us into the portal, and while me, Toriel, and Asgore, the pony on Toriel's back, were there, we got Toriel a job at CHS." She said.

"Well, we were worried! You should have at least notified us you were there." Luna said.

"I know, I'm sorry. It was hard to focus on anything since Toriel and Asgore were fighting most of the time." Twilight said. Toriel nods and looks down.

"It's true." She said. Celestia sighs.

"At least you two are okay." She said. Toriel looks at Celestia and nods. Celestia goes over and hugs Twilight.

"Don't scare me like that again..." She said in a worried voice. Twilight hugs back.

"Sorry, princess." She said. Toriel smiles.

"Awwww." She said. Celestia lets go after a few seconds and smiles softly.

"You should know me, Celestia, I can take on anything!" Twilight said with determination. Celestia chuckles.

"I know you can. You're very powerful." She said. Toriel looks back at Asgore and smiles. Asgore was sucking on his hoof. Toriel slightly laughs at the scene.

"So who is this Asgore?" Luna asked. Toriel looks at Luna and points a hoof at Asgore.

"This is Asgore, my husband." She said. Twilight nods.

"So I see. And you got a job at Canterlot High, Toriel?" Celestia asked. Toriel nods.

"Principle Celestia said that she'll call me to substitute for a teacher if they need one." She said.

"Principle Celestia is my counterpart there." Celestia said.

"I noticed." Toriel said. Luna giggles. Twilight shakes her head..

"What?" Celestia asked. Toriel raises a eyebrow in confusion.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

"Nothing, Princess obvious." Luna said, poking Celestia with a hoof.

"Um, okay then." Toriel said. She looks at Twilight. "Do you think we should head back to Ponyville?" She asked her. Twilight nods.

"I you want." She said. Toriel nods. She then looks at the princesses.

"I guess we should head back to Ponyville now, Celestia, Luna." She said.

"Another hug would be nice." Luna said. Toriel pulls Luna into a hug. Luna smiles and hugs back.

"Thank you, friend." She said happily.

"Anything for a friend." Toriel said. Luna hugs tighter.

"It rare that anypony calls me their friend." She said. Toriel smiles at Luna. Luna lets go of Toriel.

"The last time, was before I became Nightmare Moon." She said.

"You shouldn't go through that type of pain." Toriel said. Luna sighs and looks down. Celestia places a hoof on Luna's shoulder.

"You two should go now." She said. Toriel nods and looks at Twilight.

"Ready to go?" She asked her. Twilight nods.

"Let's go." She said. Toriel walks out of the room with Asgore on her back.

"Pink...fluffy...unicorns..." Asgore mumbled. Toriel looks back at Asgore with confusion, before looking forward, shrugging.

"How does he know Fluffle puff?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks at Twilight with confusion.

"Wha?" She asked.

"Fluffle Puff is literally a pink fluffy unicorn. She's a literal ball of fur!" Twilight said.

"Um... okay then." Toriel said in confusion. Twilight lights her horn and shows a holographic image of said unicorn. Toriel nods.

"Ok." She said.

"The fillies and colts will use her to play hide and seek since they can hide in the fur on her back." Twilight said.

"I see." Toriel said, slightly intrigued.

"I dont understand some ponies." Twilight said giggling. Toriel laughs slightly and sees the carriage up ahead.

"There's the carriage." She said.

"Race you!" Twilight yelled, galloping towards the carriage.

"He-Hey!" Toriel yelled. She grabs Asgore with her magic and races after Twilight. Twilight ends up tripping over her own hooves, resulting in her faceplanting into the ground. Toriel gasps and helps Twilight up.

"Are you okay!?" She yelled. Twilight gets up a bit dizzy, her eyes spinning in circles.

"Toriel...I didn't know you had a twin..." She said. She shakes her head. "Yeah...I think I'm okay." She said. Toriel sighs in relief. Twilight blinks several times.

"Anyway, shall we continue?" Toriel asked.

"Uhhh..." Twilight said, before taking off again. Toriel chases after her. Twilight slips again and lands on her stomach and groans in frustration.

"Toriel I feel your constant tripping is contagious." She said. Toriel laughs as she helps Twilight up.

"Maybe we should take it easy." She said. Twilight smirks.

"Nah!" She said. She lights her horn, and with a flash she appears in the charriot. Toriel is dazed a bit. She shakes her head.

"Oof, dizzy." She said. Twilight teleports into the charriot as well.

"That was fun...hitting my face on the floor..." She said somewhat bitterly. Toriel slightly laughs as she lays Asgore next to her. Asgore lays against Toriel. Toriel smiles at Asgore as the carriage takes off back to Ponyville.

"'Happy to be back with him?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks at Twilight and nods.

"I am, I'm glad he saw that I still loved him, even after I left him." She said.

"'He seems happy too." Twilight said. Toriel sighs with happiness as she watches the land go by as they made their way back towards Ponyville.

Chapter 4: A unexpected surprise

View Online

Asriel was floating in darkness alone. He wasn't sad nor angry, if fact he was happy. He is happy because even thought he sacrificed himself and the souls, he broke the barrier and freed all of the monsters from the underground, and it's all thanks to a little human girl named Frisk. Suddenly, a light appears before Asriel, in the form of an equine creature. Asriel sees the light and is scared.

"Wh-who are you?" He asked.

"Do not fret, young one." The creature said with a female like voice.

"Wha-what do you want?" Asriel asked.

"An offering, young one. For you to leave this place, to a better life." She said. Asriel is somewhat interested.

"A... better life?"' He asked. The creature nodded, and with a smile she trotted over in the black void that surrounded them. She reached a foreleg out to him.

"Take my hoof." She said. Asriel slowly and hesitantly puts a clawed hand on the equine's hoof. The creature smiled.

"Your mother misses you." She said as everything went white, and the last words she said echoed in his head. Asriel groans as he opens his eyes, only to immediately shut them as sunlight hits them.

"Five... more.. minutes." He moaned.

"Is he alright?" A voice asked, sounding feminine.

"He just appeared out of nowhere!" Said another female voice, but higher pitched this time.

"Dude looks like he took a good hit on the noggin!" said another voice, which sounded feminine, yet masculine at the same time.

"Vinyl!" snapped another voice. Asriel groans as he slowly opens his eyes again and sees two equine's stare at him.

"Wha?" He asked in confusion.

"Dude...you alright? I think you need some lessons on teleporting." Vynal said. The mare next to her groaned.

"Sorry about her. She's an idiot. Need some help?" She asked. Asriel stands up, only to fall forward onto his face, causing his robe to unfold onto his head, revealing wings. Vinyl stares wide eyed.

"Dude...you're an alicorn...and can't teleport?" She asked. She fights back a laugh, but ends ends up laughing her guts out as she falls to the ground on her back. The other mare seemes shocked but still had a hoof out. Asriel moans a bit, before reaching out for the mares hoof, instead of a clawed hand like he's used to, he sees a gray hoof. His arm starts to shake as his eyes widen in fear.

"Are..you alright?" The mare asked him. Vinyl was still laughing on the ground as more ponies come to see the commotion. Asriel takes deep breaths.

"Calm yourself Asriel, you've been a flower, this isn't more weirder than that." He mutters.

"What was that?" The mare asked. Vinyl slowly gets up from the ground.

"Whoo! That...that's just too funny." She said. She wipes a tear from her eye due to laughing so hard. Asriel looks at the pony.

"Hmm? Oh, nothing, nothing." He said. The pony helps him up.

""What's your name?" She asked. Asriel stands on his legs and notices that he taller than the ponies that have gathered around. He looks at the mare.

"My name is Asriel." He said.

"I am Octavia. This is My soon not to be marefriend." She said. She bonks Vinyl on the head with a hoof. Vinyl Winces in pain.

"H-hey! That hurts!" She yelled, rubbing her head. Asriel slightly laughs at the scene, until he heard voices say "he looks evil." and "he looks like a monster." Octavia sighs.

"Would you like to stay with my and Vinyl for a while if you don't have a place to stay?" She asked. Asriel nods.

"I guess." He said.

"No! That is so unfair! Whenever I ask if somepony can hang out, you always say no, so the same goes for you!" Vinyl complained.

"This is different, Vinyl! It's your friends who are somehow more rambunctious than you, who have their own places. Asriel here has no place at all! If you don't like it, you can sleep on the couch, then." Octavia said. Vinyl scoffs.

"Fine! You're so rude to me." She scoffed. Vinyl stomps away angrily.

"You treat me like such a child!" She yelled. Octavia rolls her eyes.

"Sorry about that. sometimes I wonder what even made me say yes to her." She said.

"Umm, okay." Asriel said with some confusion. He then notices a shadow fly over them. He looks up and sees a carriage fly over. "Huh?" He asked.

"Why are the princesses here?" Octavia asked. She trots off in the direction it went. "Are you gonna come?" She asked Asriel. Asriel was interested.

"Princesses? I guess." He said. Octavia follows and watches it land in front of Twilight's castle.

"Oh, it's just Twilight. But who's she with?" She asked squinting her eyes to try to see since they were a distance away. Asriel looks and sees a pony wearing a very familiar robe. His eyes widen.

"M-mother?" He said in shock.

"Your mom? Well let's go see!" Octavia said, galloping towards Twilight.

"Here we are again. My home!" Twilight said. Toriel looks at the castle with amazement. Asriel gallops towards Toriel.

"Mother!" He yells.

"Did you hear that?" Twilight asked. She gets off the charriot and looks in the direction of the voice. Octavia has to run faster since Asriel has longer legs. Toriel's ears perk up at the voice.

"That voice, no, it can't be." She said. Asriel's body began to glow with light. His form started to shrink. As the light disappears, instead of a alicorn wearing a robe, a unicorn colt wearing a green shirt with a yellow strip was running towards Toriel. Octavia stops all of a sudden.

"Wha..." She said in confusion. Toriel looks at were the voice came from and her eyes widen as she sees the unicorn colt with a very familiar green shirt.

"As-Asriel?" She asked.

"Mother!" Asriel yelled in a child's voice.

"Awe..." Octavia said, smiling. Toriel grabs Asriel into a tight hug as tears fall from her face.

"Asriel, it is you." She said with out most joy. Asriel looks up at Toriel as he smiles.

"That's so cute." Twilight said, smiling. Toriel looks at Asriel with a wide smile as more tears fall from her face. Asriel nuzzles against Toriel's body.

"This is your son...who killed Asgore?" Twilight asked.

"He's a murderer!?" Octavia yelled in shock. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"He was a flower when he killed Asgore. His flower form is his anger towards all monsters." She said. Asriel looks down as Toriel still holds him.

"So it's true? Well, HE isn't staying with me like I offered. " Octavia said angrily. She walks away angrily. Toriel glares at Octavia as she walks away. Asriel begins to cry as he remembers his hatred. Twilight sighs. Toriel holds Asriel tight as Asgore comes out of the carriage. Tears continue to fall from Asriel's face as he hugs Toriel.

"Toriel? Why are we horses?" Asgore asked. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"Ponies actually. And for the question, I don't know." She said. Asriel looks at Asgore.

"Dad?" He asked.

"Asriel..." Asgore said, looking down. "Why did you kill me? I was a good father...Wasn't I?" He asked. Asriel looks down as more tears fall from his face.

"It wasn't me that killed you father. I wasn't myself when I was Flowey." He said.

"Still." Asgore said. Asriel looks at Asgore.

"Please forgive me father!" He yells.

"My own son...I've showered you with my love, and tried my hardest to be the best father i could be...and you went and killed me..." Asgore said.

"So..you....you're not forgiving... me?" Asriel asked. Asgore sighs.

"I cant just straight up forgive you for killing me!" He yells. Asriel breaks free from Toriel's hug and runs away crying.

"Asriel!" Toriel yelled. She glares at Asgore, before running after Asriel. Asgore sighs heavily. Asriel ducks into the nearest alleyway. Toriel runs past the alleyway that Asriel went into.

"Asriel! Asriel!" She yelled. A tear slips down Asgore's cheek. Asriel rests his back against a building wall and cries. Asgore notices they left hoof steps in the dirt, so he follows them, and eventually they split, on kept going while one went in another direction. He felt bad for yelling at Asriel, and just wanted to say sorry. He heard crying from where the smaller hoof prints went off in that other direction.

"Asriel?" He asked. He goes into the alleway and sees him against the wall. "Asriel...I'm sorry...I was just upset. I know it wasn't you, I..." He choked on what he was going to say. He pulls Asriel into a hug. "I'm sorry!" He yells. Asriel cries against Asgore's armour. Toriel runs back and sees Asgore hugging Asriel. She walks up to them.

"I'm sorry." Asgore sniffed. He kisses Asriel's head and sees Toriel. Toriel had a look of anger on her face, but as she saw Asgore kiss Asriel, her expression softens.

"I love you, my son." Asgore said, hugging Asriel tighter. Asriel slowly stops crying. Toriel walks up to them and hugs them both. Asgore hugs Toriel as well.

"Who wants to be a family again? Raise your hoof." He said, raising a hoof. Toriel and Asriel both raise a hoof. Asgore smiles and holds them both. A tear falls from Toriel's face as she smiles. Asriel gives out a good yawn before smiling. Asgore smiles. Toriel was about to say something, when the trash cans next to them rattled. Asgore gives Asriel who had fallen asleep to Toriel.

"Who's there!?" He yells, approaching the trash cans. Toriel holds Asriel close as a trash can falls over and a pony like shape falls out of it.

"Who are you?" He asked the pony, noticing the form was smaller than Asriel even. The looks up at Asgore and backs away, scared. Toriel looks at the pony and sees what looks like a filly. But the filly has holes on her hooves, her skin was dark and look like a insects chitin, she also had insect like wings, her mane and tail was a light green and has holes in it as well, and her eyes were sky blue with black cat like irises.

"Must be a child. But what is she doing out here alone? Whatever she is." Asgore said. He goes a little closer, kneeling down to her height. "Hi there, little one! Where's your mommy and daddy?" He asked. The The pony backs away from Asgore, even more scared.

"Hey it's okay. I won't hurt you, little one." He said in a calm voice. He manages to slowly pick up the filly and rocks her in his forelegs gently, humming softly. "It's okay." He said. The filly calms down and looks at Asgore.

"Daddy?" She asked. Asgore is shocked, then looks to Toriel.

"She called me daddy...." He said. Toriel smiles.

"Awww." She said. The filly looks at Toriel.

"Mommy?" She asked. Asgore looks to the filly and with a heavy mental sigh he nods.

"I'm your daddy." He said. The filly yawns and falls asleep in Asgore's arms. Toriel wipes a tear as she looks at Asriel and the filly with happiness.

"It isn't right to lie to her like this..." Asgore said.

"I know, but we can't leave her here." Toriel said as she carefully places a sleeping Asriel on her back.

"What should we do then?" He asked. Toriel looks at him.

"I think we should make her apart of the family." She said.

"I guess we have no choice since we already agreed to being her parents..." He said, smiling. "I've been wanting a daughter anyway." He said.

"And I know what to call her as well." Toriel said.

"Naming her already?" Asgore asked, chuckling. "What do you have in mind?" He asked.

"Frisk." Toriel said.

"Frisk..." Asgore said. Toriel nods.

"Yes, Frisk, the human who made all of us happy. To bring joy to all of us that we didn't have in a long time. Even to be her friend too." She said happily.

"Yeah, I know..." Asgore said, having a far away look on his face.

"Oh come on now, I know you fought her, so please cheer up, were back together, we have Asriel back, and we have a new family member. So, Frisk would be a good name for her." Toriel said.

"I'm a monster for trying to kill her..." Asgore said, a hint of sadness in his voice. Toriel sighs as she places a hoof on Asgore and looks at him.

"But in the end, she made a friend out of you." She said.

"I couldn't even beat a child...so what good can I possibly be to protect you?" He asked, choking a little bit. Toriel pulls him into a light hug, being careful of the filly that Asgore was holding.

"I don't care about that, as long as I have you, Asriel, and Frisk, I am happy." She said.

"I bet I wont even be able to beat this filly if we ever battled..." He said, looking down. "I'm such a weakling...beaten by a child and killed by a flower..." He said with sadness. Toriel gives a light slap to his face and makes him look at her, her eyes filled with determination.

"Look at me, you need to stop it. You need to stop calling yourself weak and get over it. That was the past, this is now, okay? So I don't want to hear it anymore, alright?" She asked. Asgore looks even sadder.

"Oh, come here." She said. She Pulls him back into a hug.

"It's like I'm a Froggit..." He sniffed.

"Hey, don't say that. You may have lost to Frisk, but hey, from what I can tell, she made friends with every monster in the underground, so who can blame her. So please, stop worrying about this, please." She said with a sad look. Asgore throws off his crown. Toriel looks down with sadness as she places Frisk next to Asriel.

"Asgore, please..." She sniffed. Asgore stomps it flat with a hindleg. Tears start to fall from Toriel's face as she looks at Asgore. "Please, Asgore, stop doing this." She pleaded. Asgore collapses to the ground crying. Toriel goes to the ground with him and cries as well.

"I'm no king! Just a weak pushover!" He yells.

"Stop this, Asgore, please!" She yelled as more tears fell from her face. Asgore curls up into Toriel.

"I'm a bad husband..." heHe sniffed. Toriel hugs him tightly.

"You're not a bad husband, your not." She said. Asgore says nothing. The filly wakes up and sees Asgore and Toriel hugging. She flutters her wings and glides down. She walks in front of them.

"Mommy? Daddy?" She asked. Tears leak from Asgore's eyes. Frisk walks up to Asgore and nuzzles him.

"Daddy?" She asked in a worried voice. Asgore wipes his eyes and looks at her.

"Yeah?" He asked. Frisk looks at Asgore with a confused look.

"Daddy okay?" She asked.

"I don't know." He sniffed, hugging Frisk. Frisk nuzzles him. Toriel couldn't help but smile at the scene. Asgore smiles as well.

"Daddy is better now." He said, Kissing Frisk's head. Frisk smiles.

"Yay!" She said happily. Asgore holds her close. Frisk yawns again. Toriel wipes a tear from her face as she smiles.

"Want mommy to hold you?" He asked. Frisk holds out her tiny hooves towards Toriel.

"Mommy!" She said.

"Aww." He said. Toriel grabs Frisk and hugs her. Frisk squeals with happiness.

"Well...how about we get out of this alleyway?" Asgore asked. Toriel nods and places Frisk on her back.

"Sure. I'm pretty sure that Twilight must be worried about us." She said.

"Yeah." He said. He looks at Frisk and ruffles her mane with a hoof. "Hey there." He said. Frisk playfully grabs at Asgore's Hoof with hers.

"Awww, so cute." Toriel said. Asgore smiles and tickles her sides a little. Frisk starts to laugh.

"Noooo daddy, stooooop!" She yelled. She squealed with laughter. Asgore chuckles and stops, smiling at Frisk.

"I love you, Frisk." He said.

"I love you too, daddy." She said, before giving off a yawn. Asgore kisses her head again. Frisk snuggles against Asriel and falls asleep with a smile on her face. Toriel warmly smiles at the scene.

"Sleep tight little one." Asgore said.

"Anyway, shall we get going?" Toriel asked. Asgore nods.

"Asriel, wanna ride with your sister?" He asked. Asriel looks up at Asgore and nods

"I wouldn't mind." He said. Asgore smiles.

"Good." He said. He lifts Asriel up and hugs him tight. "I need to hug you first, because I love you so much." He said. Toriel bends down and picks up Asgore's destroyed crown.

"What should I do with this?" She asked.

"I...Don't know..." Asgore said as he puts Asriel on Toriel's back. Toriel has a idea. She takes out her phone, goes through the numbers and selects the one that says storage. A wooden chest appears and Toriel places the destroyed crown in the empty box. She closes the phone and the box disappears.

"There, I put it in storage until we need it." She said.

"Okay. Asriel, do you like your new sister? She's much littler and younger than you to let you know." He said. Asriel looks at the sleeping filly and nods.

"I do!" He said happily.

"Good." Asgore said. He smiles at how Frisk cuddles against Asriel in her sleep. "Now let's get going." He said, trotting out of the alleyway. Asriel lays next to Frisk and falls asleep next to her. Toriel follows Asgore out of the alleyway. Asgore smiles at Toriel.

"You're so beautiful." He said. Toriel blushes and looks at Asgore.

"You are too." She said.

"I know I am." He said, chuckling. Toriel smiles as she can see Twilight.

"Maybe she'll like our new family member?" He asked as he smiles at Frisk. Toriel nods and looks at Twilight.

"Hey Twilight!" She yelled. Twilight turns to see Toriel and Asgore.

"Oh, hi guys!" She said, waving.

"Everything is all fine now!" Toriel said.

"That's good to know!" Twilight said happily. She sees Asriel on Toriel's back, along wiht a forgein body. "Who is that with Asriel on your back, Tori?" She asked.

"A filly we found in an alleyway." Asgore said as he gently picks Frisk off of Toriel's back.

"Her name is Frisk." He said.

"But...she's a changeling!" Twilight yelled. Toriel tilts her head in confusion.

"A changling?" She asked.

"Yes, trouble makers! Pawns to Queen Chrysalis, they drain love from ponies, to feed off of. They've tried to overthrow the princesses, and can disguise themselves as anypony they want! That baby right there could be an assailant, or something to Chrysalis disguised as a baby!" Twilight yelled. Asgore was shocked, not knowing what to say.

"But...we can't just leave her..." He said.

"Asgore, Toriel, as much as I understad you want to help a little critter, I highly reccomend not keeping her. May I see her? I won't hurt her." Twilight said. Toriel has a look of worry. Frisk yawns and opens her eyes sleepily.

"Mommy? Daddy?" She asked sleepily. Asgore holds frisk close.

"I...I...I don't want to believe this Twilight..I love her so much..." He said. Twilight sighs heavily.

"For all we know, she could be a he." She said.

"We found her in a trashcan! I don't think high powered assassins or assailants are gonna go rummaging through trash cans to take over the princesses!" He yells.

"I..guess you have a point..." Twilight added.

"We're keeping her. Aren't we, Toriel?" He asked. Toriel with a look of determination, nods.

"Yes, we are keeping her." She said.

"Alright. I hope for the best for you two then." Twilight said. Asgore smiles down at Frisk.

"Hey there! How is my little girl?" He asked. Frisk holds her hooves up towards Asgore.

"Daddy!" She said happily. Asgore smiles and holds her.

"Yes, Frisk?" He asked. Frisk's stomach growls loudly.

"Hungry!" She said.

"Uh...how do we feed her love?" He asked Twilight. Twilight shrugs.

"Me no want love! Me want food!" Frisk said.

"Okay...what can Changelings eat?" Asgore asked. Twilight shrugs again.

"How about we go in and see what she likes." She said. She motions for them to follow and heads inside. Toriel follows. Asgore puts Frisk on his head.

"There you go! Now you're as tall as daddy!" He said. He smiles and follows Twilight inside. Frisk laughs with happiness.

"Like it up there?" Asgore asked, smiling. Frisk throws her hooves up in the air.

"Yay!" She squealed.

"What do you want to eat, Sweetie?" He asked. Frisk notices a table filled with food. She eyed the cupcakes that were on the table.

"I see dinner is already made." Asgore said, chuckling. Frisk flutters her wings and glides off of Asgore's head and onto the table, next to the cupcakes.

"Frisk, not till you've had supper, okay?" He said. Frisk looks back at Asgore.

"Okay." She said.

"Can daddy have a hug?" He asked. Frisk holds out her hooves in a hugging matter.

"Huggy!" She said. Asgore smiles and gently hugs Frisk.

"Awe! Thats so cute, and just feel free to eat. I don't eat much anyway. I just made a feast, incase you guys were a bit hungry." Twilight said. Frisk squeals with happiness. Toriel smiles at the scene. Then she looks at Asriel.

"Asriel, time to wake up." She said. Asriel opens his eyes slowly.

"Huh?" He asked sleepily.

"What do you want to eat, Frisk?" Asgore asked. Frisk notices what looks like a sandwich and points a hoof at it. Toriel carefully lifts Asriel off her back and onto the floor. Asriel yawns as he looks at the food. Asgore smiles and hoofs the sandwich to Frisk.

"Here you go, Sweetie. " He said as he kisses her head. "I love you." He said happily. Frisk takes the sandwich and starts to eat it. Her eyes widen as she eats even faster. Asriel takes a sandwich as well and eats it. Toriel takes a couple of vegetables on a plate and eats.

"I'm not hungry for now. I just want to hold my little girl." Asgore said, smiling at Frisk. Frisk stops eating real quick and smiles at Asgore.

"Daddy!" She said happily. Toriel hears a door open and notices Twilight's friends walk in.

"Hey, who's the new guy?" Rainbow asked.

"This is Asgore. And their kids, Asriel and Frisk." Twilight said. Rainbow flies over to Twilight.

"Isn't that one a changeling?" She whispered in Twilight's ear. Twilight sighs.

"I know." She said. Asriel sees the ponies and hides behind Toriel. Frisk looks at the ponies and waves hello.

"Hi!" She said happily. Toriel looks at Asriel.

"It's okay, Asriel." She said. Rarity squeals in fright.

"Changeling!" She yelled.

"Really? It's just a baby. We fought off an army of them, and yer afraid of a filly?" Applejack said in a bemused manner.

"What? I..I'm not afriad! Just surprised is all. But why is she here?" Rarity asked.

"We found her in a trashcan in an alleyway, and has become our daughter. Isn't that right, Frisk?" Asgore asked. He kisses her head. "Yes, daddy loves you, yes i do!" He said, playing with Frisk's cheeks. Frisk squeals with happiness.

"They're friends, Asriel." Toriel said with a warm smile. Asriel slowly comes out from behind Toriel. Asgore hugs her tight.

"But aren't they just precious?" Fluttershy said. Frisk finishes what was left of her sandwich. Asriel walks towards Fluttershy, his eyes filled with curiosity. Toriel smiles. Asgore smiles.

"Now pick your cupcake." He said.

"Hi there, little one!" Fluttershy said. Frisk sees a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. She points to it.

"That one!" She said.

"H-hi." Asriel said with some shyness. Asgore smiles and grabs it for her.

"Here you go Frisk." He said. Frisk takes the cupcake in her hooves and takes a bite of it. Her eyes widen as she eats it fast, getting chocolate and vanilla all over muzzle and mane. Asgore chuckles and cleans her with a napkin.

"You're a messy eater, aren't cha?" Asgore asked. He softly pets her mane. Frisk gives a cute yawn. Asriel walks up to the table and grabs a cupcake, when Pinkie pie pops up next to him, causing him to jump. Asgore daws, laying Frisk across his arms.

"Gonna sleep on daddy?" He asked. Frisk gives a slight nod before falling asleep. Asriel looks at Pinkie pie.

"Um... hi." He said.

"HI!! I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie yelled.

"Shhh!! Try to keep it down. Frisk is sleeping." Asgore said as he rocks her gently in his arms.

"You remind me of someone, but I don't remember who." Asriel said. Pinkie tilts her head.

"Huh?" She asked. Asriel thinks, then remembers some visions of when he was a flower.

"Now I remember, when I was a flower, I saw this skeleton. His name was Sans, you remind me of him." He said.

"SANS!? I know him!" Pinkie yelled. Asriel was taken back at what Pinkie said.

"What?" He asked with surprise.

"Nah, I wouldn't know anything about a punny skeleton, who wears a blue sweater with fur inside, and hangs around outside Toriel's place." Pinkie said.

"Umm... okay then..." Asriel said. Suddenly, there was a loud snap. Asriel looks up and sees a crystal chandelier falling, over Toriel.

"Mother!" He yells. Toriel looks up and her eyes widen. She screams. Asriel runs towards Toriel as fast as he could, when he was surrounded by light. The light disappears and a alicorn wearing a robe like Toriel's slams into Toriel, pushing him and her out of the way of the falling chandelier. The chandelier hits the ground where Toriel was with a loud crash. Twilight gasps and stares in shock like everypony else. Asriel looks at Toriel.

"Mom, are you okay!?" He yells, his voice sounding worried. Toriel looks at Asriel and nods, not phased by his sudden transformation. She stands up, noticing that she is slightly shorter than Asriel.

"Yes, I'm fine, Asriel." She said. Asgore notices Frisk has waken from the crash and has begun crying.

"Oh, no don't cry, everythings okay!" He said. He looks at Toriel. "I'm gonna take her into the next room." He said. He brings her into the next room after, which was a sitting area with bookshelves. Asriel hugs Toriel as tears fell from his face.

"I don't want to lose you again mother." He sniffed. Toriel pats Asriel on the back.

"There, there, shhh, it's okay." She said.

"How did you do that!?" Twilight yelled.

"Shh! Frisk everything is okay! Please stop crying. Want to see mommy?" Asgore asked, trying to calm down Frisk. Frisk sniffles and nods. Asriel wipes the tears from his eyes and turns to look at Twilight, showing her his black eyes with white irises.

"Well...I better clean up this clutter..." Twilight said.

"Come on." Asgore said. He puts Frisk on his back and trots back out.

"Toriel, your daughter wants you to hold her." He said. Toriel looks at Frisk.

"Come here." She said. Frisk holds out her hooves.

"Mommy!" She yelled. Asriel notices Rainbow glaring at him.

"What?" He asked. Asgore gives Frisk to Toriel.

"We trade." He said, hugging Asriel. Asriel blushes slightly and hugs Asgore. Toriel hugs Frisk.

"Mommy!" Frisk said.

"Mind changing back so I can hold you properly?" Asgore asked. Asriel has a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

"Oh, yea, heh heh." He laughed slightly. He glows with light, before he turns back into a unicorn colt. Asgore smiles down at him as he holds him close.

"I've missed you for so long, my son. Please don't ever leave me again!" He yells, hugging Asriel tightly. Asriel smiles and hugs back.

"I miss you too dad, I'm very sorry for killing you when I was a flower." He said.

"I forgive you, son." Asgore said. Toriel looks at Asgore while holding a sleeping Frisk.

"Awww." She said, smiling. A tear falls from Asriel's eyes as he smiles. Asgore ruffles his name with a hoof.

"Remember I will always love you, okay?" He said. Twilight is cleaning up all the glass with the help of her friends. Asriel nods.

"I love you too dad." He said. Asgore smiles. Asriel smiles up at him. Toriel walks up to Asriel and Asgore. Asgore nuzzles Asriel. Asriel smiles. Toriel pulls Asgore and Asriel into a hug, alongside with Frisk. Asgore yawns.

"I guess we could use some sleep." Toriel said.

"I could use some sleep." Asgore said. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"Um, Twilight, is there a room that we can use?" She asked. Twilight points down a hall.

"Third door on the left." She said. Toriel nods and places Frisk and Asriel on her back. She looks at Asgore.

"Shall we?" She asked.

"Yeah...and can I have Frisk back? I'm getting really attached to her." Asgore said. Toriel smiles and nods. She lifts Frisk off her back and gently hand her over to Asgore. Asgore smiles softly and holds her close.

"My little Frisk." He said kissing her head.

"...Daddy..." She Mumbles in her sleep, before smiling. Asgore tears up from pure happiness. A tear falls from Toriel's face as she smiles.

"Lets go now." He said. Toriel wipes a tear from her face and nods. Asgore smiles and leads her to the bedroom. Toriel follows Asgore. Asgore enters a large room with a king size bed on the opposite end. Toriel walks up to the bed. Asgore lays down, holding Frisk close to him. Toriel gets in bed with Asgore, Asriel and Frisk. Asgore smiles at Toriel.

"Thank you or giving me another chance." He said. Toriel smiles.

"I'm happy that our family is back. Along with a new family member." She said.

"Our baby girl." Asgore said as he kisses Frisk on the head. Frisk smiles as she slept. Asgore holds her closer. Toriel hugs her family as she closes her eyes. Asgore smiles and falls asleep. Toriel falls asleep a few seconds later after Asgore falls asleep. He holds Frisk in his sleep.

Chapter 5: The first day as a teacher

View Online

Asgore wakes with a yawn and a stretch the following morning. Toriel is curled around Frisk and Asriel, who are snuggling close to each other. Asgore smiles and kisses each of their heads. Asriel smiles as he slept.

"...Daddy..." Frisk mumbles in her sleep. Asgore gently pulls Frisk close to him. As she slept her horn glowed with a greenish light and she was covered in flames, after the flames die, Frisk turned into a light brown filly with neither horn nor wings, a brown mane and tail, wearing a purple striped shirt, with a cutie mark of a red heart. Asgore tilts his head. Frisk yawns as she slowly opens her eyes.

"Morning honey." He said. Frisk yawns again, then smiles.

"Daddy." She said sleepily.

"Yes sweetie?" He asked. Frisk nuzzles against his armor.

"I love you." She said.

"Awe, I love you too, my sweet little filly." He said as he ruffles her hair. Toriel yawns and opens her eyes. She raises her head and sees Asgore holding Frisk. She smiles. Asgore smiles, rocking Frisk in his arms.

"Who's a cute little filly?" He asked.

"I am!" Frisk said.

"Awww." Toriel said. Asgore smiles and nods.

"Yes you are." He said. Asgore looks at Toriel and pecks her cheek.

"Morning, love." He said. Toriel blushes slightly and smiles.

"Morning." She said.

"I slept amazing in this new bed!" He said. Toriel nods.

"I can't believe that it held the four of us." She said. Asgore nods.

"Yeah, this is a gigantic bed!" He said. Toriel's stomach growls, causing her to blush.

"And maybe you need a gigantic meal!" Asgore said. Toriel gasps.

"Hey!" She said.

"What?" He asked.

"I don't need to eat that much." She said.

"Me either. Should we feed the kids?" He asked. He smiles down at Frisk. "Are you hungry, little one?" He asked. Frisk's stomach growls in response. She nods. Toriel laughs at the response from Frisk and nods.

"Okay. Should we wake Asriel?" Asgore asked. Toriel nods and slightly nudges Asriel.

"Asriel, time to wake up." She said. Asriel snorts as he wakes up. He raises his head.

"Huh? Wha?" He asked.

"We're going to have breakfast." Asgore said. Asriel nods as he stands up, yawning.

"Okay." He said.

"Frisk wanna ride on me or on Toriel?" Asgore asked, looking at her. Frisk holds her hooves up to Asgore.

"Daddy!" She said. Toriel warmly smiles at the scene as Asriel gets out of bed. She follows.

"Aww!" Asgore said. He picks her up and places her on his head. "What a cutie you are." He. Frisk claps her hooves together with happiness. Toriel yawns. Asgore laughs and trots out of the room. Toriel and Asriel follows Asgore. Asgore sees everything still out from last night Asriel looks around in amazement. Frisk plays with a strand of her mane.

"What does everyone want?" Asgore asked. Asriel looks at the table and thinks. Frisk sees the sandwiches again and points a hoof at them. Toriel grabs a sandwich this time, and notices Twilight and her friends. She waves hello.

"Morning, Twilight." She said. Asgore lifts a sandwich to frisk with his magic.

"There you go little one." He said. Twilight yawns.

"Morning, Toriel, Asgore. Asriel and Frisk." She said. Frisk takes the sandwich and eats it happily. Asriel takes a round disk made out of dough.

"What is this?" He asked.

"It's a haycake." Applejack said. Asriel looks at it with confusion.

"Haycake?" He asked. Rarity takes it in her magic and places it on a plate.

"Use a fork, dear." She said. She levitates one over to him. Asgore holds Frisk in his arms as she eats. Asriel takes it in his magic and tries a bite. His eyes widen.

"That's... that's delicious!" He yells. Twilight brings him a bottle of syrup.

"It's better with some of this on it. Wanna try it?" She asked. Asriel nods and takes the syrup. He pours the syrup on the haycake. He takes a bite and nearly drops the plate.

''I...I don't know what to say." He said.

"What?" Twilight asked. Asgore smiling down at Frisk as he holds her.

"What were you doing in that trashcan, anyway?" He asked.

"This is delicious!" Asriel said. Frisk stops eating her sandwich as a tear falls from her face.

"I was... thrown out." She sniffed.

"By who?" Asgore asked, wiping a tear.

"My... old mother. She said that there wasn't enough love to go around, so, she told me to leave." Frisk said.

"How pathetic! Throw your own child out! How dare they to such a sweet filly!" Asgore yelled as he hugs Frisk tightly. "It's okay now. You'll always have us." He said. Toriel wipes a tear from her face. Frisk cries against Asgore.

"There, there. Daddy loves you." He said, holding her close and patting her back. Frisk hugs him.

"Don't leave me daddy!" She yelled. Toriel couldn't hold herself and she cries.

"Never, Frisk. You're staying with us as long as you live, okay?" He asked as hugs her tighter and kisses her head. Frisk wipes the tears from her eyes and smiles.

"Thank you daddy." She sniffed. Toriel smiles. Asgore smiles.

"No problem, my little filly." He said. Asriel has a look of anger.

"If I find whoever did this to Frisk, they will never see the light of day again." He said.

"I wouldn't go that far....or just throw them in the ruins! " Asgore said, laughing.

"Yea, let them wonder the ruins that has no monsters anymore. Put up the barrier so that they won't come out." Asriel said. Asgore nods then turns to look at Frisk.

"Is my baby girl okay now?" He asked. Frisk nods. Toriel smiles.

"Look at me, Frisk." Asgore said. Frisk looks up at Asgore. Asgore kisses her head.

"I will always love you. You may not be my birth child, but it would have been a great blessing if you were. Either way, I'm glad to be your daddy." He said. Frisk smiles and nuzzles against Asgore.

"Thank you daddy." She said.

"Asriel, Toriel, come here so I can love you too." He said. Toriel walks up to Asgore, alongside Asriel. Asgore hugs all three of them.

"My beautiful family." He said. Toriel smiles.

"I've never been this happy before." She said.

"Me either, my sweet." He said.

"I'm glad that all of us are back together." She said.

"Me too." He said. He hugs the three of them tightly. Twilight and her friends daw at the sight. Toriel's robe started to vibrate.

"Huh?" She asked. She takes out her phone. "Principal Celestia needs me. She texted me." She said.

"Who is she?" Asgore asked.

"She's the principal of the school of that human world you knocked me and Twilight into." She said.

"Well you better get going, then." He said. He pecks her on the lips.

"I'll watch the kids for however long you are gone." He promised.

"Let's go, Toriel." Twilight said. She teleports herself and Toriel to the mirror. Toriel takes a deep breath.

"Well, wish me luck." She said.

"I will!" Twilight yelled as she waves as Toriel goes through. Toriel appears at the other side of the portal, reverted back to her old self, and notices Principal Celestia standing on the stairs waiting for her. She stands up, brushing herself off. Principal Celestia waves.

"Welcome!" She said. Toriel walks up to her with a smile.

"Morning, Principal Celestia." She said happily.

"I hope you don't mind but I called you in early before all the kids come so you can have time to tour the building to get to know it. I'll lead the way. Shall we begin?" Principle Celestia asked.

"I don't mind. And lead the way." Toriel said. Celestia leads Toriel into the large foyer.

"Your room is right over there." She said. She points down the hall just ahead. "It's at the end." She said. Toriel looks and sees the door, she nods.

"Okay." She said. Celestia goes down a hall to the right.

"This way is the cafeteria." She said. Toriel nods as she looks in and sees a fairly old woman preparing breakfast.

"If we continue down a bit more we find the gym!" Celestia said. Toriel looks at her and nods. Principal Celestia turns down the hall to the left. Toriel follows while looking around.

"Well thats about it." Celestia added Celestia as they finished the tour. Toriel smiles and nods again.

"Thank you for the tour, Principal Celestia." She said.

"You should head to your classroom to get ready." Celestia said. Toriel nods.

"Well, wish me luck, again." She said. Celestia nods. Toriel walks off towards her classroom. Kids begin to enter the building. Toriel ignores the stares from the kids as she enters her classroom. They all stared in confusion from their desks. Toriel prepares everything that she has as kids continued to enter the classroom.

"Um...nice costume?" A boy asks as he walks in. Toriel's ears perk up at the voice.

"Hmm? Oh, this isn't a costume." She said. He tilts his head as he walks in. Toriel looks at the students and notices that some are on their phones, she raises a eyebrow.

"So...are you the teacher?" One student asked. Toriel nods.

"I am." She said.

"What's your name?" the student asked. Toriel takes a piece of chalk and writes her name on the chalkboard.

"My name is Mrs.Toriel." She said.

"Never heard that one before. So what will we be doing?" The student asked. Toriel looks back at her students.

"Today, we'll be learning some algebra." She said.

"We're learning how to make linear equations, so that's fine." The girl said, smiling. Toriel nods and writes some linear equations on the board.

4 hours and 45 Minutes later

Toriel finishes teaching some linear equations, just as the bell rings for lunch. She closes a math book on her desk as the students file out the door. The same girl from before approaches the desk.

"So, what planet are you from? I know you aren't from here." She she asks excitedly. Toriel looks at the girl.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm not from another planet, I'm from Mount Ebott. I lived underground." She said. The girl tilts her head.

"There's no mount Ebott here...." She said. Toriel puts a hand to her chin.

"Hmm, strange, where I lived, everyone, including the monsters, has heard of Mount Ebott." She said. The girl looked confused.

"Well..I gotta get to lunch...see you later!" She said, skipping out of the room. Toriel thinks for a couple of seconds before she shrugs and leaves the room. Noticing the students stare at her again. Some of them smile and wave.

"Morning, Mrs. Toriel!" One said. Toriel waves back.

"Hello." She said. She turns down a hallway, but notices that she went down the wrong hall. "Well darn, I went down the wrong way." She said with slight irritation. She was about to turn around and walk back, when she sees a little girl wearing a pink bow on her head surrounded by two other girls, one with a tiara, and another with glasses.

"Ah told ya'll Ah don' have any money on me!" The girl that looks like Applebloom yelled. Toriel hears what the girl said and walks up to the girls, standing right behind the two girls. She places her hands on her hips.

"Excuse me, is there a problem?" She asked. Applebloom looks up at Toriel with a gasp. The two other girls turn, only to scream at Toriel's presence. Toriel raises an eyebrow.

"Now that's just rude." She said.

"What even are you?" The pink girl wearing the tiara asked.

"I think the better question is, what are you two doing to her?" Toriel asked.

"Tryin' ta steal the lunch money AH DON'T HAVE!" Applebloom yelled. Toriel looks at Applebloom, then looks back at the girls, looking slightly angry.

"Oh really?" She asked.

"What are you gonna do about it huh?" said the pink girl, shooting Toriel a sly smirk, arms crossed over her chest. The other girl, being grey looked a tad bit guilty.

"Diamond...we shouldn't be doing this..." She said nervously.

"Maybe I should go and get the principal and tell her what you two are doing, hmmm?" Toriel said. Diamond shrugs.

"Celestia never does anything, so have fun with that." She said. Toriel slightly glares at Diamond.

"Or maybe I should step in." She said, crossing her arms.

"Puh-lease." Diamond said, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Diamond, please...let's just go. You've already gotten me in trouble...again." Said the grey girl as she began to walk away.

"I would listen to your friend, Diamond. In fact, I don't think she wants to be around you." Toriel said.

"Fine." Diamond said. She grumbles and walks away. Toriel has defeated Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. She has gained 0 xp and 0 gold. Toriel watches them walk away, then turn towards Applebloom with a friendly smile.

"Now then, if I may ask, why are you here?" She asked.

"Going to mah next class." Applebloom said. Toriel nods.

"Well then, you better be going then." She said.

"Yeah, uh, thanks!" Applebloom said. She coincidencially walks into Toriel's room along with other students. Toriel has a slight look of surprise as she heads back the way she came. She bumps into someone. She looks and sees that she bumped into Principal Celestia and sees that she's on the floor. She reaches out to help her.

"Oops, sorry about that, Principal Celestia." She said.

"N-no problem!" Celestia said. She takes her hand and gets up. "So, how's everything going?" She asked.

"Everything's going very well." Toriel said happily.

"I saw that little display you put on. Good going! Those two, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon can be trouble." Celestia said happily. Toriel smiles.

"Thank you." She said.

"Keep that up, I'll have no choice but to promote you." Principal Celestia said. Toriel is quite surprised at what Principal Celestia said.

"W-what?" She asked. Principal Celestia smiles. Toriel shakes her head.

"Anyway, I should should get some lunch before I go back to class." She said. Principal Celestia looks at her watch.

"Ten minutes till class starts, so you've got plenty of time." She said. Toriel starts to walk into the cafeteria, but stops.

"Oh dear, I forgot. I don't have any money." She said. Celestia pulls out a couple pieces of green paper.

"Lunch is cheap here. plus being principle, I get quite a large pay. A few dollars won't hurt, so take them." She said. Toriel takes the money with surprise.

"Th-thank you. I'll pay you back when I can." She said.

"It's fine! I have to pay you anyway, since it's illegal to make people work for free. But even if it was legal, I wouldn't do it." Celestia said. Toriel smiles.

"Anyway, thank you." She said.

"No problem, Mrs. Toriel." Celestia said happily. Toriel walks into the cafeteria with a smile. Students filled most tables, and soon all the commotion died down and everyone's attention was on Toriel. Toriel ignores the stares and waits in line, which is short due to how close lunch is about to end. The lady simply smiles and prepares a plate of food for Toriel just like everyone else. Toriel smiles.

"Excuse me, if I may ask, do I pay up here?" She asked. The lady nods and approaches a register. Toriel hands her the money. The lady gives toriel the tray and puts the money in the register. Toriel takes the tray of food.

"Thank you." She said. The lady nods. Toriel walks around looking for a place to sit. Everyone continued to stare immensly. Toriel continues to look around, starting to get worried. She then notices five familiar humans that resemble Twilight's friends sitting together with Sunset Shimmer with them. She walks up to them. The girls at the table notice her right away.

"Hey, it's you again!" Sunset said happily. Toriel waves Hello with one hand as she neared the table.

"Hello Sunset." She said.

"So, how's your first day going?" Sunset asked. As Toriel sits down next to pinkie pie, the table groans under her weight.

"It's going great actually." She said.

"Well thats good news! Uh...how are things between you and Asgore?" Sunset asked. Toriel smiles.

"We're finally back together. And what's best, we have our son back as well! We haven't seen him in years! Even when he was a flower, I still cared about him." She said.

"Aww." Sunset said.

"Wait...your kid...is a flower?" Rainbow asked in confusion. Toriel looks at her.

"He was before, out of anger. But now, he is over that and is back to normal." She said.

"Oh, okay." Rainbow said. As Toriel is almost done eating, she notices that Rarity was staring at her, especially her robe. She looks at her.

"Hmm? Do I have some on my robe?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing, darling!" Rarity said. Toriel shrugs and finishes the last of her food, just as the bell rang. The girls all began to get up, taking their trays to throw their garbage away. Toriel does the same, and places the tray with the others, before walking back to class. As she walks into her classroom, she noticed that instead of teenagers, little boys and girls are sitting and talking in the desks. She noticed Applebloom's eyes widen as she walks in.

"Are...are you the teacher?" Applebloom asked. Toriel looks at Applebloom and nods.

"I am." She said.

"Wow! What are the chances?" Applebloom asked. She giggles slightly and takes her seat with two other girls, one being a white purple haired girl, and the other and orange colored girl with magenta hair. As Toriel began to write her name on the board, she sees Diamond tiara and the grey girl with the glasses walk in. Applebloom and the other two girls frown at them. Toriel raises a eyebrow at them as she finishes writing her name on the board.

"Toria..iel?" Said the purple haired girl in an awkward voice. "How do you pronounce that?" She asked.

"Ah, it's actually quite simple." Toriel said as she drew two lines in the middle of her name. "It's spelled, To-ri-el." She said.

"To-ri-el. Okay! Thanks!" The girl said. Toriel smiles just as the bell rings. The children wait for Toriel to begin. Toriel began to teach the math that is right for the kids. Several children were taking notes, and a few were throwing paper airplanes around the room. Toriel turns around and sees a student throw a paper airplane. She clears her throat.

"Excuse me, no throwing paper airplanes around." She stated. The child looks at her and throws one at her. Toriel catches the paper airplane and incinerates it, leaving only a pile of ash. The child stares in shock, with a dropped jaw.

"That was AWESOME!" He yells.

"Let that be a warning, okay?" She asked.

"A goat thing that can talk, teach math, and incinerate things! I have seen everything!" The boy said excitedly. Toriel facepalms.

"Let's just.. get back to some math." She said.

"What else can you do, Mrs. Toriel?" He asked.

"Can we focus on that later and do some math, please." She said.

"Awe..." The child groaned and went back to work.

"Thank you." She said as she went back to writing on the board.

"Uh...Mrs, Toriel...I'm confused with problem ten..." Scootaloo said. Toriel turns towards Scootaloo and walks to her.

"Let me see." She said as she knelt down. "Ah yes see, you sorta did it right, yet wrong. In double digit multiplication you use the first number on the bottom to answer the other numbers on top, then add a zero before you do the next number, okay?" She asked.

"Okay, thanks!" Scootaloo said. Toriel smiles and nods. She walks back to the board. Scootaloo chews on the eraser of her pencil, trying to think. Toriel sits in the chair, causing it to groan a little from her weight, and begins to read the math book. There was a faint sound of lasers and guns. Toriel's ears perk up and she looks around, looking for the cause of the sound. A boy was playing on a gaming device, with his hands behind the desk to hide it. She looks at the boy and clears her throat. The boy looked up, quickly sliding the device under him.

"Y-yes, Mrs. toriel?" He asked nervously.

"Please focus on your work and not on your... device." She said.

"W-what device?" He asked. Toriel sighs.

"I can hear the noise from your device all the way over here. So please focus on your work." She said. The boy groans. Toriel goes back to reading the math book. The boy goes back to playing, but has the sound off now so Toriel can't hear. Toriel continues reading for a while until the bell rings, indicating that it is time to go. The kids file out, but the boy was too into his game to notice, and was the only one sitting in their desk still. Toriel notices this and clears her throat again. The boy looks up.

"Oh..." he said. He quickly gets his things together, but ends up dropping his device. Toriel sighs and shake her head. She gets up and walks towards the boy. Starts putting his things in his backpack, and picks up his device that read gameboy on it. Toriel kneels down at the boy.

"You should really do some work and not on your device, okay?" She asked.

"Are you sure?" The boy asked, hiding his face behind his long orange bang. Toriel smiles.

"Yes." She said. The boy hugs Toriel.

"Thank you, Mrs. Toriel." He said.

"Now then, should you head home, from what I can tell, school's over." She said.

"Okay." He said. He smiles and waves as he leaves. "Bye!" He said. Toriel waves goodbye. She stands up and notices Principal Celestia at the door with a smile.

"Ah, hello Principal Celestia." She said.

"Well, I've got one thing to say. Another math teacher quite, so would you like to take their spot and work full time?" Celestia asked. Toriel has a wide smile on her face.

"Really!" She yelled. But then she remembers her family and her smile fades. "But, I just can't exactly leave my family everyday." She said.

"Not all teachers stay the full day. Some work half days, so maybe I could work something out for you." Celestia said. Toriel shakes her head.

"As tempting as it may be, I just couldn't leave my family, because I havn't been with them for years, and now we're finally back together. So, sorry to say this, even though it is my dream to be a teacher, I'm going to have to refuse." She said.

"I understand. But, if you need anything, just ask me, alright?" Principal Celestia said, smiling. "Glad to be working with you." She said. She holds out her hand. Toriel takes her hand and shakes it with a smile.

"And if you still need a substitute teacher, just text or give me a call." She said.

"I'll be sure to do that." Celestia said.

"Anyway, I should probably head back to Equestria." Toriel said.

"You do that." Celestia said, smiling. Toriel waves goodbye as she walks down the hallway.

*****

Asgore was at home paying happily with the kids. "I'm gonna get you, Frisk!" He said.

"Nooo!" Frisk giggles as she runs. Asgore stumbles after her, not exactly knowing how to use an equine body.

"Come back here so I can give you your tickles!!" He yells. Frisk hides behind Applejack.

"Nooo, me no want tickles!" She giggles.

"Ah'll protect ya!" Applejack said as stands firmly between her and Asgore. Asgore smirks and charges, only to fall on his face.

"Oof!" He grunts. Asriel falls over laughing. Frisk peeks over at Asgore.

"Daddy, you okay?" She asked. Asgore groans and rubs his muzzle.

"Im okay." He said. He gets up slowly. Asriel continues to laugh. Frisk walks up to Asgore.

"Your brother seems to be happy." He said. Asriel stands up and tries to catch his breath.

"Sorry dad... I needed that." He apologized. Frisk pouts at Asriel. Asgore picks up Frisk. Frisk looks up at Asgore.

"Daddy!" She said happily. Asriel notices Twilight walking in his direction.

"I uh...want to talk to you about some stuff..." She said.

"Alright." Asgore said as he holds Frisk close. "And Frisk, think you could change back? You look better as yourself." He said.

"I guess. What is it you want to talk about?" Asriel said to Twilight. Frisk nods and concentrates. Her horn glows and she is engulfed in flames and turns back to normal.

"Follow me if it's okay." Twilight said. Asgore smiles.

"There's my little girl!" He said. He kisses her head. Asriel is confused but follows Twilight anyway. Frisk claps her hooves in happiness. Twilight leads him to a library. Asgore hugs her tight. Asriel looks around in awe. Frisk smiles at Asgore.

"So, how do you do what you did...when the chadelier almost fell on your mother?" Twilight asked.

"Who's my little filly!?" Asgore asked.

"What, this?" Asriel asked as he turns back into a alicorn.

"I am!" Frisk said.

"But...what causes it?" Twilight asked. Asgore smiles and runs a hoof along her name.

"My determination and my soul." Asriel said. Frisk smiles.

"Hmmm..." Twilight said. Asgore tightly hugs frisk not wanting to let go.

"I also have another form, but I only go into that form if things get dire. I can still go into it whenever I want, but still." Asriel said. Frisk yawns.

"Can you change again for me?" Twilight asked. Asgore smiles.

"Wanna go take a nap with daddy?" He asked. Asriel shakes his head.

"No. Because in this form right now, it's only a fraction of what I can do. If I go into that form I show you my full power, and I almost erased a timeline with it." He said. Frisk nods as she tries to stay awake.

"Oh that's too bad." Twilight said.

"Come little one." Asgore said as carries Frisk back to the bed and crawls in with her.

"Well actually, it was more like reset a human's timeline back to the time they first came to the underground. She wouldn't remember her friends that she made, and her progress that she did." Asriel said. Frisk snuggles against Asgore.

"That sounds sad..." Twilight said.

"There, there." Asgore said. He kisses her head and holds her on top of his chest. Asriel nods.

"It was." He said. Frisk yawns and falls asleep.

"Need a hug?" Twilight asked. Asgore smiles, rubbing a hoof along Frisk's back.

"Goodnight my little Frisk." He said. Asriel sniffs and nods, before turning back into a unicorn colt.

"Come here." Twilight said as she pulls Asriel into a hug, softly stroking his mane. Asriel cries slightly against Twilight.

"Shhhh, it's gonna be alright. You've got us now, Asriel." Twilight said, hugging him tightly. Asriel sniffs.

"Th...Thank you. I needed to get that out." He added.

"Anything for a friend, Asriel." Twilight said as she hugs him a bit longer before letting go. Asriel smiles as he wipes a tear.

"You're quite a cute little colt, huh?" Twilight asked. Asriel blushes slightly. Twilight ruffles his mane.

"Don't be sad, okay?" She asked. Asriel smiles and nods. Twilight smiles back and lowers her head to nuzzle his cheek.

"Now, why don't you go spend time with Asgore, huh? I have to go pick up Toriel." She said.

"Okay!" He said. Twilight gives him a small kiss on the head and teleports to the Canterlot Castle. Asgore smiles at Frisk as she sleeps, curled up on top of his chest. Asriel trots off back to Asgore.

*****

Toriel exits the school with a smile. As she walks down the stairs she was thinking of how of a good day she had, when she bumps into someone.

"Oops, sorry." She apologized. She She looks and sees a girl on the ground that looks exactly like Twilight, except she was wearing glasses and had her hair in a bun. Twilight looked a little shocked.

"Uh...hi?" She asked. Toriel holds out a hand to her.

"Need help getting up?" She asked.

"Uh, yea." Twilight said. She slowly reaches a hand out. Toriel helps her up with a smile. Toriel sees Twilight come out fo the portal and quickly spots Toriel.

"Hey, Toriel! How'd your first day go?" She asked. "I see you've also met my counterpart!" She said. Toriel waves at Twilight.

"Oh hello Twilight." She said.

"Hi Twilight!" Twilight said.

"Oh...hey, Twilight..." Other Twilight said shyly.

"Oh, Twilight, there's nothing to be afraid of! " Twilight said assuringly, placing a hand on other Twilight's shoulder. Other Twilight smiled.

"Thanks, Twilight." She said.

"No problem, Twilight!" Twilight said happily. Toriel is slightly dazed at what they're talking about, before shaking her head.

"Wha?" She asked.

"So...how are things in your world, Twilight?" Other Twilight asked.

"Oh, things are great!" Twilight said. She looks at Toriel. "Ready to go back?" She asked. Toriel nods.

"I am." She said.

"Sorry, but I have to go, Twilight." Twilight said.

"Oh, it's no problem, Twilight." Other Twilight said. She smiled, leaving Twilight and Toriel to themselves.

"Bye Twilight!" Twilight said. Toriel waves goodbye to the other Twilight.

"So, how was your first day?" Twilight asked. Toriel smiles.

"It went very well." She said.

"Thats good!" Twilight said as she pats Toriel on the back. "Also, Asriel misses you." She said. Toriel laughs slightly.

"I knew he would. Let's head back." She said.

"No problem!" Twilight said. She teleports them back to the crystal castle. Toriel smiles as she stretches.

"Ah, it's good to be back." She said. Asriel sees Toriel.

"Mommy!" He yells.

"No she's MY mommy!" Twilight said, hugging Toriel and giggles. "Nah, I'm kidding." She said. Asriel runs up to Toriel. Toriel looks at Twilight with a raised eyebrow. Twilight playfully tackles Asriel before he reaches Toriel.

"He's mine! I'm gonna cut him up, boil him, and give him tickles!" She yelled as she blows onto his stomach. Asriel squeals with laughter as he flails his hooves. Toriel smiles at the scene. Twilight giggles and places him on her back.

"If you don't mind, Toriel, I'll just be taking him now." She said. She smirks and starts to walk away.

"Just be careful with him!" Toriel yelled. Twilight tosss him off her back, but seals him in her magic just before he lands on the ground.

"Safe enough?" She asked. Toriel nods.

"Hmmm...how about this?" Twilight asked. And with a pop, there was a thumb tak on the floor, with the needle pointing up. Toriel looks at it with confusion. Twilight slowly lowers Asriel closer to it. Toriel has a look of anger in her eyes as she charges at Twilight. Twilight manages do dodge, and the thumb tak disappears.

"Woah!" She yelled. Toriel looks at Twilight with hatred.

"Never. Ever. Do. That. To. My. Son!" She yelled.

"Of course not, Toriel! I would never hurt him. He's...he...is so cute i dont think i could yell at him if I wnted to." Twilight said, hugging him. "I love this little guy." She said. Toriel takes deep breaths.

"Anyway, I think Asriel should attend school." She said.

"Huh?" Asriel asked.

"Awe! Maybe your mom will be your teacher huh? " Twilight asked. She ruffles Asreil's mane.


"Maybe." Toriel said, shrugging.

"That would be cool." Asriel said. Twilight giggles since she was still holding Asriel.

"Toriel, I just have to say, you made one adorable child! He's co cute!" She said happily. Asriel blushes. Toriel laughs slightly at the scene.

"He is adorable." She said.

"I wanna keep him." Twilight said, giggling. "But he's your son." She said. Toriel nods.

"That he is." She said. Twilight smiles and nuzzles Asriel.

"Go to your mother I bet she would like to hold and hug you now." She said, letting go of Asriel. Asriel runs up and hugs Toriel.

"Mommy!" He yells. Toriel smiles and hugs him.

"Awe, so cute!" Twilight said. Toriel nuzzles Asriel. Asriel smiles.

"Asgore and Frisk are sleeping in the room." Twilight said. Toriel nods and lifts Asriel onto her back.

"Okay. Let's go Asriel. Let's go say hi to daddy." She said. Asriel nods.

"Okay." He said as they made their way to Asgore. Asgore was fast asleep, holding his little Frisk close to him. Toriel opens the door and sees Asgore asleep. She smiles.

"Want me to close the door?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks back at her.

"If you'd like." She said. Twilight shrugs and closes te door. Asgore wakes with a yawn. Toriel smiles at Asgore.

"Hello, sweetie." She said. Frisk mumbles something in her sleep.

"Toriel! H-how was school? I've been here holding our little Frisk." He said.

"I can see that." Toriel said. Frisk's leg twitches as she mumbles some more. Asgore smiles and kisses her head.

"Such a cutie. Come lay down, Toriel." He said. Toriel smiles and nods. She walks up to the bed and lays Asriel, who is asleep, next to Asgore, before climbing in. Asgore reaches a foreleg around Toriel and holds her close.

"I love you, my beautiful wife." He said.

"I love you too." Toriel said.

"Wanna hold Frisk?" He asked. Toriel smiles and nods. She carefully lifts Frisk off of Asgore's back and places it next to her and Asriel. She curls up around them and watches Frisk snuggle against Asriel. Asgore smiles.

"They're so cute." He said.

"They are. I know I've said this already, but I'm so happy that were back." She said.

"I know, honey, I am too." He said. He kisses her on the forehead. Toriel smiles, then yawns.

"I love you so much. But...who rules the underground now? Undyne maybe? Heh, then everybody would be forced to train to be like her I bet. I heard she had a crush on Alphys." Asgore said. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"Really now?" She asked.

"Just a rumor, I don't know." He said. He takes Asriel into his arms. Toriel yawns again as her eyes fall halfway down her eyes.

"Sleep well. you need your rest." He said. Toriel nods and closes her eyes, falling asleep a few minutes later. Asgore kisses her head and falling asleep a few minutes later.

Chapter 6: Asriel and Frisk's first day of school

View Online

Toriel sleeps peacefully with a smile, until a knock at the door wakes her up. Asgore groans as he was woken up as well. Toriel raises her head to look at the door and yawns.

"Come... in." She said sleepily. The door opens and Twilight walks in.

"You uh, left your phone out in the dinning room and I just wanted to give it to you..." She said. Toriel yawns and grabs her phone with her magic.

"Thank you." She said.

"Sorry to disturb you." Twilight said, as she was closing the door. Toriel yawns.

"Twilight, wait." She said.

"Yes?" Twilight asked. Toriel looks outside.

"From what I can tell, it's still a little early, and before school starts too." She said. She then looks back at Twilight. "Do you think we can register Asriel and Frisk for school before it starts?" She asked.

"I'm pretty sure you can." Twilight said. Toriel nods and slightly nudges Asriel and Frisk.

"Asriel, Frisk, time to wake up." She said. Asriel snorts and opens his eyes.

"Huh, wha?" He asked. Frisk yawns and looks around, confused.

"Mom?" She asked. Toriel looks at Frisk.

"Yes, Frisk?" She asked.

"It's early mommy..." Frisk said sleepily. Toriel smiles.

"I know sweetie, I just want you and Asriel to be registered before school starts." She said.

"S-school?!" Frisk yells, ducking under the covers. "I can't! I'm a changeling!" She yelled. Toriel sighs.

"Frisk, I know that your a changling, but don't worry, I will make sure that you won't get hurt, plus, your brother will be there to protect you." She said. She looks over at Asriel. "Right Asriel?" She asked. Asriel nods.

"Yes." He said.

"Nopony likes changelings, I can't go!" Frisk yells, scared. Twilight giggles slightly.

"Frisk, you'll be going to a school where changelings aren't heard of okay?" She asked. Toriel smiles

"You can also probably make a few friends as well." She said.

"No! I don't wanna go!" Frisk yells, sobbing slightly under the blankets.

"Oh, Frisk." Toriel said, gently picking up Frisk and holding her. "Shh, it's going to be okay." She said.

"No it won't...I'm just a freak to everyone else...ponies used to give me bits of food since i was homles, but since that attack on Canterlot..." Frisk said. She looks down and cries. A tear appears on Toriel's face.

"Oh, you poor little thing. " She said, hugging Frisk slightly tighter.

"Everybody hates me..." Frisk sniffs.

"No body hates you. I don't hate you, Asriel doesn't hate you, and Asgore and I love you." Toriel said.

"You're my mommy I know you dont hate me, same for Asgore being my daddy, but everyone else..." Frisk sniffed again. Toriel gently rocks Frisk in her hooves, trying to calm her down.

"Shh, everything will be alright." She said.

"Please don't make me go, mommy..." Frisk said.

"But, how would you learn?" Toriel asked.

"I don't know..." Frisk said as she sobs quietly into Toriel's chest. Toriel hugs Frisk slightly tighter.

"Where's Asriel?" Frisk asked. Asriel appears next to Toriel.

"Right here." He said. Frisk whimpers and holds her forelegs out to him.

"Oh, come here." He said, grabbing Frisk and holding her. Frisk sniffles.

"A-at least I have you guys...right?" She asked as she gazes up into Asriel's eyes. Asriel nods with a smile.

"Yep!" He said.

"Of course, we would never leave you." Toriel said. Frisk smiles and hugs Asriel.

"I love you big brother!" She said happily.

"And I love you too, little sister." Asriel said as he ruffles up Frisk's mane. Frisk smiles and nuzzles Asriel's chest. Asriel smiles. A idea pops into Toriel's head.

"Hey Frisk, I know that you don't want to go to school, but, I have a idea. How about you go to school just for today, and if you like it, you can continue to go if you want, if not, then how about I teach you. How does that sound?" She asked. Frisk shakes her head.

"I don't like being around others..." she said. Toriel sighs. Asriel looks at Frisk.

"Please Frisk, what will it take for you to go?" He asked. Frisk looks down, then back up.

"Will you protect me?" She asked. Asriel has a look of determination in his eyes.

"I swear, I won't let anyone hurt you." He said.

"Okay." Frisk said as she sniffles a bit, curling up in Asriel's forelegs, and smiles a little. Asriel ruffles up Frisk's mane again. Toriel couldn't help but smile at the scene. Frisk giggles slightly.

"Thanks for being the bestest big brother ever." She said.

"No prob, little sister." Asriel said. Frisk smiles a bit more, and cuddles closer to Asriel

"Now, would you like to give school a try?" He asked.

"As long as you're there to be by me, Asriel." Frisk said, snuggling into him. Asriel nods.

"I will be there for you." He said.

"Thank you." Frisk said as she smiles and nuzzles Asriel's chest. Asriel smiles, then looks at Toriel.

"Should we get ready for school?" He asked. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"We should probably be going." Twilight said. Toriel nods, then looks at Frisk and Asriel.

"You ready?" She asked. Asriel nods.

"Yep!" He said. Frisk stutters, unsure of what to say.

"It'll be okay, Frisk. I'm here for you." He said. Frisk takes a deep breath and sighs.

"I think we're ready." Toriel said.

"Okay, so which school are your kids going to?" Twilight asked.

"Is there a school in this town?" Toriel asked.

"There's the Ponyville school house!" Twilight said.

"Mom...don't make me go there! There's other ponies there who know what I am! I won't go!" Frisk yells as squirms from his grasp and stands on the floor.

"But Frisk, you have Asriel with you, he will protect you." Toriel said.

"I did promise you that I will protect you Frisk." Asriel promised.

"Against EVERYpony!?" Frisk yelled, her legs trembling.

"Ah frisk, I nearly destroyed a entire timeline with my third form. So, I'm quite powerful, no need to brag or anything." Asriel said.

"That sounds horrible!" Frisk yelled.

"So don't worry, I will protect you, no matter what." He said.

"Okay." She said, looking down, sadness in her voice. "I just wanna be friends, but everypony's gonna hate me....." she sniffed.

"Hey, chin up, I'm sure that you'll make friends." Asriel reassured. Toriel nods and looks at Twilight.

"I think we should get going." She said. Twilight sighs.

"Alright." She said as she lights her horn and they teleport in front of the school house, where nopony Is around. Frisk hides behind Toriel. Meanwhile, Asgore was still fast asleep, snoring on the bed. Toriel lightly rubs Frisk's mane.

"It's going to be okay, were here for you." She said

"But you won't be...it's not like you'll sit in class with me all day...you're a teacher at another school..." Frisk pointed out.

"But you have me, I'll protect you." Asriel said.

"Okay." Frisk said, looking down again. "Just don't hurt anypony, okay?" She promised.

"I will only use my powers to protect you. Besides, I need a massive amount of energy to go into my third form." He said.

"Okay." Frisk said, sighing. "Let's just get this over with..." she said, following Toriel.

"Hey, wait up!" Asriel yelled, running after them. As Toriel walks in, she notices a fuchsia colored pony sitting at a desk. She knocks on the door. The fuchsia pony turns her tired head up and yawns before standing from the desk. She shuffles her way over to the door and opens it.

"Hello?" She yawned. Frisk eeps and zips behind Toriel's tail to hide.

"Um, hi, I would like to register both my children to school please." Toriel said. Asriel looks up at the fuchsia pony.

"Children? I only see this cute little guy!" The pony said, rustling up Asriel's mane. Frisk sobs silently, her heart racing, wishing to be back home. Asriel smiles. Toriel looks behind her and sees Frisk.

"Come on Frisk, she won't hurt you." She said. Frisk shakes her head.

"So where is the other?" The fuchsia pony asked. Toriel looks back at the pony.

"She's behind me. She's just scared that you will hurt her." She said. Frisk is shaking and trembling, full of fear.

"Mine showing her to me?" The pony asked with a smile. Toriel nods and slowly picks frisk up, trying to calm her down and showing her to the pony.

"Shhh, it's going to be okay Frisk." She said. Frisk shuts her eyes tight, curling up as much as she can. The pony gasps, with an open mouth trying to speak, but only stutters and darts back inside.

"See." Frisk sniffed as she looks up at toriel with teary redened eyes, tears streaming down her cheek. "Nothing will ever be alright...never." she sniffed, before she buries her face in her hooves and bawls. Toriel hugs Frisk tightly. Asriel bangs on the door.

"W-why does everypony hate me..." Frisk wailed. The pony behind the door was breathing fast and heavily.

"Go away!" She yelled. Toriel gently rocks Frisk back and forth.

"Shh, I'm here, everything is going to be okay." She said.

"Not until you hear us out!" Asriel yelled.

"No it won't...nothing will ever be okay...why did I have to be born an ugly changeling, mom? I wanna be a pony..." Frisk sniffed. The only behind the door was panting heavily.

"I wish I knew how to turn you into a pony." Toriel said.

"Come on, open up and hear us out!" Asriel yelled.

"I can but i can't stay one forever..." Frisk said. The pony sighs and opens the door.

"What is there needed to be heard?" She asked. Toriel hugs Frisk tightly.

"Can you, come out here, so that we can talk." Asriel said. Frisk looks sadly at the pony.

"What? I'm out here." The pony said.

"I just wanna be a normal pony...why can't I, mommy?" Frisk asked.

"I don't know sweetie, I don't know." Toriel said.

"Can you, apologize to my sister?" Asriel asked. Frisk sobs quietly.

"The Changeling? It's your sister? Doesn't that mean the three of you are changelings!?" The pony yelled in fright. Toriel deadpans.

"If we were Changelings, would we be talking with you right now?" She asked in a bemused manner.

"If you weren't, why are you bringing me this one?" The pony asked.

"Because she's my daughter, we rescued her from trashcans in an alleyway, and I would like to register her for school." Toriel said.

"You want me to let that thing be in my class? Do you know anything about changelings? I'd be fired if I let her come here!" The pony yelled.

"See mommy? Nopony wants me...she called me a thing...I might as well be nothing..." Frisk sniffed as she escaped from Toriel's grsp and begins walking back home. "Why was I even born...." she said.

"Maybe I should tell Twilight about your reaction to my daughter, since I'm living with her. Frisk, come back." Toriel said, walking after Frisk. Asriel glares at The fuchsia pony.

"Princess Twilight? SHE knows about it?" The pony asked. Frisk stops and stares at her holy hoves and forelegs.

"Why did I hae to be made a freak...why is it that whenever I try to convince others I don't want to hurt anyone...I'm always ending up getting hurt in the end. Why, mommy?...why..." She sniffed, theatres falling from her face.

"She does. She's even met Frisk and deduced that she isn't a threat." Asriel growled. Toriel picks up Frisk and holds her close.

"Shhh, I'm here." She said.

"Why is it that nopony likes me..everybody turns me away or tries to hurt me...I'm tired of being hated for what I am..." Frisk sniffed.

"And I suppose you have no proof of this?" The pony asked. Toriel slowly rocks Frisk back and forth.

"Maybe I should go and get Twilight for proof then huh." Asriel said.

"I give up trying anyore..." Frisk sniffed. The fuchsia pony nods. Toriel is trying her best to calm Frisk down. Asriel turns into his alicorn form.

"I'll just live the rest of my life as an unloved outcast... I'm sorry mom...that I'm a bad child..." Frisk sniffed. The fuchsia pony gasped.

"How did you do that!?" She asked.

"You're not a bad child, Frisk." Toriel said. Asriel smirks and concentrates, his horn glows a golden color and in a flash, Twilight appears.

"Yes I am. I'm a stupid ugly changeling!" Frisk yells. The fuchsia pony stares in shock. Twilight stares around awkwardly.

"Um...what just happened?" She asked.

"I don't care if you're a Changeling, you're my daughter, and I won't let anyone hurt you." Toriel said. She then looks away, a tear falls from her face. "I... I already lost Asriel once, I'm not going to lose you, Frisk." She said. Asriel turns towards Twilight.

"Twilight, this pony said that she won't take Frisk in because she is a Changeling." He said.

"I don't know what you see in me..." Frisk said.

"I can understand that, but Frisk means no harm to anypony. She's scared of coming in the first place, but even more so to not be enrolled. Frisk is a sweet Filly, and I know that for sure." Twilight said.

"But if I DO enroll her I could be fired!" The pony yelled.

"You remind me of someone, someone who brought me happiness that havn't brought me happiness since a thousand years ago." Toriel said.

"Twilight, can you make sure that she can enroll Frisk, yet not get fired?" Asriel asked.

"I dont see how..." Frisk said.

"Just please, don't be sad." Toriel said.

"I can't help it." Frisk sniffed. Toriel rocks Frisk back and forth, humming a soft tune.

"Of course I can!" Twilight said. Asriel looks back at the fuchsia pony.

"Will you accept Frisk into you're school?" He asked. Frisk sobs.

"Shhh, I'm here, don't cry." Toriel said.

"I don't know..." the pony said. Asriel reverts back into a unicorn colt and looks up at the fuchsia pony.

"Please?" He asked.

"I can't help it anymore...." Frisk said. Toriel hugs Frisk. The fuchsia pony rolls her eyes.

"You owe me a new job if I get fired." She said. Asriel hugs the fuchsia pony.

"Thank you." He said.

"I'm sorry momma..." Frisk said.

"Good!" Twilight said. She walks over to Toriel. "She agrees to enroll Frisk!" She said. Toriel smiles.

"Thank you Twilight." Toriel said. Asriel let's go of the pony and looks up at her.

"Oh yea, almost forgot, what's your name?" He asked.

"Ms. Cheerilee." The pony said.

"I don't want to go..." Frisk said.

"'Please Frisk, just for today." Toriel said.

"Asriel, Asriel Dreemurr." Asriel said.

"Fine. But if I get beat up, I'm holding you responsible!" Frisk yells as she pushes away from Toriel angrily and stomps into the school house. Toriel looks at Cheerilee.

"So, uh, how do I register my children?" She asked.

"Frisk, wait up!" Asriel said as he follows her inside.

"Nothing. I just take them in. Simple as that." Ms. Cheerilee said. Toriel smiles.

"Thank you." She said. Frisk kicks over a stuffed bear.

"Stupid Toriel." She said. Asriel gasps.

"Don't say that about mom." He said.

"Not that I'm trying to be the parent here, but why would you even bother putting her here? Obviously I must have been wrong about her, which I am very sorry, but the other fillies...you know how chidren can be. They'll be going home saying there's a changeling that goes to my school! Plus the chance...the HUGE chance she'll be bullied!" Ms. Cheerilee said.

"Well, I'm sure she won't be any trouble...just keep an extra eye on her, okay?" Twilight asked.

"I will try." Ms. Cheerilee said.

"Plus she has Asriel with her as well." Toriel said.

"Well? She is! Putting ME an ugly changeling in a school of PONIES!" Frisk yells as she sits in a random desk and thumps her head down.

"Hey, calm down. Do you know why she put you in here?" Asriel asked. Twilight nods. Ms. Cheerilee sighs.

"This is a lot of pressure you're putting on me..." she said. Toriel looks away.

"I know, and I'm sorry." She said.

"I don't care!" Frisk yells as she covers her head with her forelegs. "I just wanna be left alone..." she sniffed.

"I won't leave you alone." Asriel said.

"But I shall do what I can. You should hug you kids goodbye then. Whenever you're ready." Me. Cheerilee said. Toriel nods and walks inside. Twilight could see more fillies and colts with their parents approaching.

"Seems like kids are starting to arrive." She said. Frisk was fighting back her tears, her whole being trembling. Asriel hugs her.

"It's going to be okay, I'm here for you. I will protect you, like I promised you." He said. Ms. Cheerilee greets the parents as they arrived.

"Mommy...why are you doing this to me..." Frisk sniffed. Toriel notices Asriel hugging Frisk and heard what she said.

"I'm... I'm doing this so that you could make some friends, Frisk. But, if it will make you happy, how about after school, we go to sugercube corner." She said. Frisk looks away.

"Just go home." She said as she pulls away from Asriel and sits in the lone desk at the back of the class, and curls up on the seat just as other children began to come in.

"No. Frisk please, I want you to be happy, to make new friends here in school." Toriel said.

"Frisk, mom isn't trying to make you hate her, she is trying to do what's best. To make you happy. So please, come here." Asriel said.

"No! Just go home!" Frisk yelled. Toriel sighs.

"I'm sorry, Frisk. You remind me of so much of the human that I thought of a daughter. I'm sorry, that I brought you here. I'll just be going now." She said as she hangs her head and turns to leave.

"Frisk please, she already lost me once, don't break her heart again by having you hate her." Asriel said. Frisk was about to say something until a filly noticed her.

"Run and scream." she mutters just as the filly screams changeling, and runs out of the schoolhouse. The other children see her as well, and soon run screaming from the building, yelling changeling.

"Now do you see why I'm upset!?" She yells. Her lip quivers before she ends up bursting into tears. Toriel's motherly instincts kick in and she hugs Frisk, trying to calm her down. Asriel glares at the fillies and colts that ran.

"Why me!? Why am I such a freak..." Frisk yelled. Toriel was trying her best to calm Frisk down. Asriel notices three fillies walk in.

"Nobody will ever be my friend..." Frisk sniffed. Toriel doesn't notice the fillies as she continues to try and calm down Frisk. Asriel glares at the fillies.

"Are you here to hurt my sister?" He asked angrily.

"Hurt your sister?" Scootaloo asked.

"I don't think we know your sister." Sweetie Belle said.

"Why would we wanna hurt anypony anyhow?" Applebloom asked. Then the fillies notice Frisk.

"Who's the changeling?" Scootaloo asked. Sweetie Belle's ears perk up.

"Are you guys new!?" She asked. Toriel hears the familiar voices. She turns towards them.

"Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo?" She asked. Frisk hides behind Toriel. Ms. Cheerilee sighs heavily, returning with the run away students.

"Hi!" Applebloom yelled.

"I didn't know that you three went to school here." Toriel said.

"Frisk, do you need a hug?" Asriel asked.

"Of course we do!" Scootaloo said. Frisk nods. Asriel holds out his hooves for a hug. Frisk throws herself into Asriel's arms and hugs him tight.

"Alright kids...take your seats..." Ms. Cheerilee said. Frisk looks down and pulls away and sits back in the desk, every filly and colt staring at her. Toriel walks towards the door. As she reaches the door, she looks back at Frisk with a sad expression.

"I'm sorry..." She said. Asriel sits in a seat next to Frisk. Frisk sobs softly as the room goes silent, thumping her head down onto the desk. Asriel looks over at Frisk, worried. Scootaloo looks at Asriel.

"Hey, what's wrong with her?" She asked. Asriel looks at her.

"She's just scared. She thinks everyone is going to hurt her." He said. Ms. Cheerilee walks over.

"Frisk...if you want you can go sit outside for a bit and calm your nerves." She offered. she sighs, gently rubbing the changelings back. Frisk shakes her head.

"More ponies will just...see me..." She said.

"And she also wants me next to her, to protect her." Asriel said.

"Alright then." Ms. Cheerilee said, walking back to the front of the class.

"Why is mommy doing this to me...why...?" Frisk sniffed.

"She's not doing it to hate you, no, no, she isn't like that. She just wants us to make something that we have never had, friends. I never had any friends for little over a thousand years." Asriel said. Scootaloo looks at Asriel in shock.

"A thousand years!?" She yelled.

"I can't make friends!" Frisk snaps. "Look at me! Does it look like I could possibly make any friends when my kind is absolutely hated!?" She yells, tears appearing in her eyes. "I will never have friends! I'll always just be a freak to everypony! A monster!" She yelled. Asriel begins to worry again. Scootaloo turns towards her friends.

"Girls, we need to do something that would cheer her up." She said.

"Ah know she's a changeling, and that the changelings are mostly bad but...she seems like she just needs a friend." Applebloom said. Sweetie Belle nods.

"You could have just said you agree you know." She said. Applebloom facehooves.

"Let's just go." She said.

"Soon everypony is going to know about me and will want me dead!" Frisk wailed.

"Frisk, no one will want you dead." Asriel said.

"I miss mommy..." Frisk sniffed. Asriel sighs.

"I do too." He said.

"Well, let's go." Applebloom said. She slowly trots over to Asriel and Frisk.

"Hey, wait up!" Scootaloo said.

"I made mommy feel bad..." Frisk said. Sweetie Belle follows her friends. Applebloom hugs Frisk. Asriel is surprised by Applebloom hugging Frisk. Frisk is shocked from the hug, but hugs back after a moments hesitation. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo join in and hugs Frisk as well. Asriel is confused, yet happy. Frisk's sobs turn to a soft smile as she tightly hugs Applebloom.

"Thank you." She sniffed.

"Anything for a friend." Applebloom said, smiling.

"Awe, isn't that sweet? Think I could get to teaching now?" Ms. Cheerilee asked. Frisk sniffles and nods. Asriel looks at the three fillies.

"I know my mom knows you three, but I don't. So, um, who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Scootaloo!" Scootaloo said.

"I'm Apple Bloom! Glad to meet ya! And this changeling who I assume is your sister?" Applebloom asked.

"Yea, and I'm Sweetie Belle." Sweetie Belle said. Frisk stays next to Asriel for protection, wanting another hug.

"I'm Asriel, and this is Frisk. And come here Frisk." Asriel said, holding out his hooves. Frisk cuddles against Asriel.

"Can you hold me big brother?" She asked.

"Aww!" Applebloom said. Ms. Cheerilee smiled at the scene.

"I know you five are just trying to get along but think you could pay attention and wait till recess?" She asked. Asriel looks at her.

"Yes, Ms Cheerilee." He said. He then looks at Frisk. "Maybe in a little bit." He said. Frisk huffs and wraps Asriel's forelegs around her.

"I wanna be held." She said.

"That's cute." Ms. Cheerilee said.

"I can't say no to you, little sister." Asriel said happily. Frisk smiles.

"I'm better now since I know you'll protect me." She said. She gets comfortable in Asriel's lap, ready for the lesson. Asriel smiles. Ms. Cheerilee smiles and starts writing down some simple adition problems on the board. Meanwhile Asgore's left hind leg twiched as he sleeps. Asriel started to get slightly bored, but has a smile on his face. Frisk was still a bit scared, but listens closely to learn what she can.

"Can anypony tell me what four plus six equals? Raise of hooves?" Ms. Cheerilee asked. But nopony did. Frisk knew the answer, and comtemplated whether she should answer or not. She looks to Asriel.

"Should I answer her?" She whispered. Asriel looks down at her.

"If you want to, it wouldn't hurt." He whispered back. Frisk nods then hesitantly raises her hoof, trembling a bit. Ms. Cheerilee's ears perk up at the sight of a raised hoof.

"Yes, Frisk?!" She asked.

"T-t-t-t-ten?" She asks, wincing.

"That's right! It is ten!" Ms. Cheerilee said happily.

"There, wasn't that so hard?" Asriel asked. Frisk shakes her head.

"I was just scared a bit." She said as she stays snuggled against Asriel, loving being held by him making her feel protected. "You're the best big brother ever!" She said happily, smiling.

"And you're the best sister ever." Asriel said. Frisk smiles more.

"As long as you're with me, I don't mind being out of the house...er...castle." she said. Asriel smiles.

"And I will protect you, no matter what." He said. Frisk has the happiest smile that he has ever seen.

"Thanks, big brother! " She said happily. With determination she starts going up to the board to write down her answers to any problems Cheerilee put up. Clapping hooves told her she was doing great and a wide smile appeared on her lips. It was quickly swallowed up by a frown that the words she said to her mother echoed in her head, causing her to feel guilt. Asriel noticed something was a little off.

"Frisk, what's wrong?" He asked. The clapping no longer mattered. She didn't deserve it she thought. The way she was to Toriel. With a hung head she groggily returned to Asriel's lap.

"N-Nothing..." She said. Asriel raises an eyebrow.

"Frisk, I know something's bothering you. Please, it's okay to tell me." He said.

"I just feel really bad how I treated mommy...I wanna go home..." She sniffed. "I wanna say I'm sorry." She said. Asriel looks at Frisk with a reassuring smile.

"Hey, everything's going to be alright." He said.

"I want my mommy..." Frisk sniffed.

"It'll be okay. Besides, you have me." He said.

"But i want mom so I can apologize..." Frisk said.

"Just hang in there, please." Asriel said. Frisk looks down.

"Okay..." She said. Asriel sighs.

"I'm hungry..." Frisk said. Asriel's stomach growled.

"Same here." He said.

"Okay my little ponies! Lunch break!" Ms. Cheerilee said.

"Finally!" Frisk giggled. Asriel smiles and places Frisk on top of his head. Frisk giggles.

"I'm big!" She said. Asriel laughs.

"That you are!" He said. Toriel walks towards the school with two paper bags. A look of worry strewn across her face.

"My little brother." Frisk joked about. Asriel walks out of the school with the other fillies and colts.

"Big sister." He said. Toriel notices Asriel and Frisk. She sighs in relief and has a smile. Frisk gasps and runs up to Toriel and cries into her shoulder, hugging her tight.

"Mommy! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have been so mean! It's just...I guess I was overreacting and I thought everypony wanted to hurt me, but I'm making friends mommy! And I feel bad because of how I treated you!" She sniffed. "I'll take any punishment you have for me..." She said. Toriel holds the bags with her magic and holds Frisk into a tight hug as tears fell from her face.

"No, I should be the one apologizing, I brought you here thinking that it would make you happy, but I only made you angry. So I'm very sorry. If you still want to go home, I will talk with Ms. Cheerilee about it." She sniffed. Frisk shakes her head.

"I wanna stay, mommy...I like it here...I have friends for the first time!" She said happily. She smiles as the CMC approach.

"Hi Frisk! Hi Mrs. Toriel!" Applebloom said.

"You have friends, Frisk? Who are they?" Toriel asked. Asriel catches up to them.

"Meet Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo!" Frisk said cheerily, pullng the three fillies into a hug. "My bestest friends ever!" She said happily. Toriel is quite surprised, but smiles widely.

"I'm so proud of you Frisk." She said. Frisk smiles as she hugs.

"We don't know if changelings get cutie marks or not, but we'd be more than happy ta take her with us on our adventures and stuff!" Applebloom said.

"Would you like to do that Frisk?" Toriel asked. Frisk nods, smiling. Toriel smiles, then remembers.

"Oh yea, I brought you guys your lunches." She said. The familiar scent of cinnamon and butterscotch fills Asriel's nostrils.

"No way, you made-" he started. Toriel nods.

"Yep, my famous cinnamon-butterscotch pie." She said.

"Pie for lunch?" Frisk asks, tilting her head in confusion.

"I also have something called a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for the the both of you. And some Apple slices from Applejack. And finish it off with some juice boxes. I made the pie, Spike made the rest." Toriel said.

"Okay!" Frisk said happily. She takes a bag and hugs Toriel. "I love you mommy." She said. Toriel hugs back.

"I love you too, Frisk." She said. Asriel takes the other bag.

"Can you stay for a bit, mommy? Please!?" Frisk asked. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Sure." She said.

"Yay!" Frisk said happily as she nuzzles Toriel's leg. Toriel warmly smiles at Frisk and hums a soft tune. Asriel takes out the sandwich and eats it. Frisk snuggles back into Asriel's lap and begins eating. Toriel lays next to Asriel and Frisk, still humming. Frisk smiles and lays against Toriel's side, happily drinking her juice.

"You're the best mom ever! I love school!" She said happily. Toriel smiles. Asriel has a wide smile as he eats the pie. Frisk giggles and crawls under Toriel's foreleg for cuddles as she finishes her sandwich. Toriel looks over at the other colts and fillies playing around with a smile.

"Can I go play, mamma?" Frisk asked. Toriel nods.

"Go ahead Frisk, go have fun." She said. Frisk smiles and runs up to the colts and fillies who smile and wave at her arrival.

"Hey, wait up!" Asriel yelled and he runs after Frisk. Toriel's phone vibrates. She looks at it and sighs.

"Frisk, I have to get going! Sorry for leaving so soon!" She yelled.

"Bye mommy!" Frisk yelled. She runs back up to her to give her a hug. Toriel hugs back with a smile.

"Go have fun Frisk." She said.

"Have fun at work, mommy!" Frisk yells. Toriel nuzzles Frisk.

"And you have fun at school." She said.

"Okay mommy!" Frisk said as she nuzzles back before happily running off back towards the group of waiting ponies. Toriel waves goodbye, before teleporting to the mirror. Frisk giggles while playing tag with the other fillies and colts. Asriel is playing with a ball with the CMC, when he notices three colts walking towards Frisk, their expression showing anger. Frisk giggles as she and another filly chase each other in circles around a tree. Asriel follows the three colts, but stays out of sight.

"Hey, you there!" Yelled one of the colts. Frisk turns her head.

"Who, me?" She asked.

"Yeah, you!" The colt yelled. Asriel stays out of eyesight of the colts as he listens.

"What do you want?" Frisk asked.

"Who do you think you are? Freak! You're a changeling! You don't belong here! You don't just come into our school and expect things to be fine and dandy." The colt in the middle said, lightly shoving Frisk.

"Yea, freak!" The colt on the right said. Asriel is angry. He steps in front of the colts.

"Hey! Leave my little sister alone!" He yells.

"Yeah! Leave her alone!" Some of the other fillies and colts shouted, joining Asriel.

"Frisk is our friend!" A pony with a tiara said.

"Yeah!" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle say.

"Bah, whatever! Enjoy being friends with a freak!" The colt in the middle said, then leaves. Frisk's lip quivers for a bit before she sneaks off to cry. Asriel turns around and sees Frisk leaving.

"Frisk?" He asked. Frisk goes back into the schoolhouse and hides behind her desk again. Asriel follows Frisk and stands in the doorway of the school noticing Frisk has her head down on her desk.

"Frisk?" He asked again. Frisk cries softly. Asriel walks up to Frisk.

"Frisk, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Th-they were picking on me...and shoved me..." Frisk sniffed. Asriel stands next to her.

"Do you need a hug?" He asked. Frisk nods and comes out. Asriel pulls Frisk into a hug.

"It's going to be okay, I'm here." He said.

"They were gonna hurt me..." She sniffed.

"It's okay, I'm here." He said. He notices Ms. Cheerilee walk in.

"Frisk? Asriel? Whatever is the matter?" She asked as she walks over with a worried expression.

"Three colts were picking on Frisk." Asriel said.

"Who were these colts." She asked.

"One was a unicorn, who I think is the leader. The one on his right side is a regular pony and the other one was a pegasus, who looked liked he didnt want to be around the other two." Asriel said.

"Star Screamer, Shining Spirit and Bulk Head? Those three...always getting into trouble..." Ms. Cheerilee said, sighing before smiling sweetly at Frisk. "Don't you worry, I'll take care of them, okay?" She asked. Frisk nods.

"Thank you." Asriel thanked. Ms. Cheerilee nods.

"I will take care of this." She said.

"Thanks, Ms. Cheerilee." Frisk said.

"Do you want to go back outside, Frisk?" He asked. Frisk shakes her head and hugs Asriel. Asriel smiles and hugs back.

"Thank you, big brother." Frisk said.

"I couldn't let those bullies harm you in any way, what kind of big brother would I be? A lousy one, that's for sure." Asriel said. Frisk smiles and ends up falling asleep. Asriel smiles. Frisk snores lightly as she sleeps.

"Ms. Cheerilee, is it okay if me and Frisk head home? I don't know when she will wake up." He whispered.

"You can't leave until school is over silly. You need to wake her up." Ms. Cheerilee said. Asriel nods and slightly shakes Frisk.

"Frisk, come on, wake up. We can't fall asleep in school." He said. Frisk grunts.

"Nnnggh...let me sleep..." Frisk said. Asriel sighs.

"I know you want to sleep, but we're at school." He said. Frisk moans in frustration

"Fineee...." She grunted. Asriel smiles sheepishly.

"Sorry." He said. Frisk groans and gets back into her desk.

"Don't worry, I'm here." He said.

"I want mommy..." Frisk said.

"I know, I miss her too." Asriel said.

"Thanks for being my big brother, Asriel" She said.

"No problem, Frisk." He said, smiling. Frisk smiles. Ms. Cheerilee goes to the door that leads to the playground and rings the bell that hangs from the door.

"Alright fillies and colts! Time to come back in!" She yelled. And throughout the rest of the school day, nothing bad happened.

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.

Chapter 8: The Crystal Empire

View Online

ON THE TRAIN TO THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE

Toriel is laying down on the chair next to Asgore, who was sleeping, with a smile on her face, trying to visualize what the Crystal Empire looks like. Asriel stares out the window as the scenery flies by. Frisk is hiding within one of Toriel's wings to avoid the terrorizing looks on everypony's faces. Toriel looks at Frisk with a motherly smile.

"Frisk, it'll be okay." She promised

"No it isn't...they're all scared of me...they hate me..." She sniffed.

"Frisk, if it will make you happy, do you want a hug?" Toriel asked. Frisk nods and reached her front legs up to Toriel.

"Yes mommy." She said. Toriel pulls Frisk into a hug.

"Everything will be okay." She said. Frisk hugs back and nuzzles her chest.

"I love you mommy." She said.

"I love you too, Frisk." Toriel said. Frisk smiles and curls up in Toriel's lap.

"Best mommy I could ever have." She said happily. Toriel warmly smiles and nuzzles Frisk.

"Best daughter I could ever have." She said.

"Thanks mom." Frisk said. She smiles and reaches for Asriel and pulls him close. "Wanna cuddle big brother?" She asked. Asriel smiles and hugs Frisk.

"Sure." He said. Frisk snuggles into Asriel and nuzzles his cheek.

"Thank you, big brother." She said happily.

"No problem little sister." Asriel said. Frisk smiles.

"I know everypony hates me but as long as I have you guys I'm fine." She said.

"And I'll be there to protect you." Asriel added.

"I know you will, Asriel." Frisk said, smiling. Toriel smiles at them.

"Aww, you two are so cute together." She said.

"Mooooom!" Asriel said in annoyance.

"What, it's true." She said. Frisk tightly hugs Asriel.

"My big brother!" She said. Asriel hugs back.

"My little sister." He said. Toriel looks at Twilight.

"I hope your brother likes the pie I made." She said as she checked on the butterscotch cinnamon pie that's next to her.

"I'm sure they'll love it!" Twilight said, smiling. Frisk boops Asriel's muzzle.

"Tag, you're it!" She yells as she gets up and runs to the opposite end of the car, suddenly forgetting the other ponies in the same car. Asriel smiles and runs after her.

"I'm gonna get you!" He said. Toriel smiles as she sees Asriel and Frisk having fun. Frisk giggles all the while, fluttering around the car in the air.

"You can't get me cause you can't fly!" She taunted.

"No matter what, I will get you!" Asriel said.

"Try me!" she giggles and flies up to one of the luggage shelves. Asriel jumps on an empty seat and starts to climb up onto the luggage shelves. Frisk giggles.

"You can't get me!" She giggled. She flies over to the opposite side. Toriel notices Frisk and Asriel on the luggage shelves. She has a look of worry.

"Hey, please be careful!" She said worrying. Asriel looks at her.

"We will mom!" He said. Frisk smiles and flutters down to Asriel. Asriel grabs Frisk into a hug.

"I got you now!" He said.

"I know!" Frisk giggles and hugs Asriel back tightly. "I love you big brother." She said happily. Asriel smiles.

"I love you too, little sister. Now, let's get down from here before we get into trouble." He said. Frisk nods and as best she can she carries Asriel back down to Toriel, then lays against his side.

"Asriel, can you hold me?" She asked. Asriel nods and holds her.

"Sure." He said. Frisk smiles snuggles close to Asriel. Asriel smiles at her. Toriel warmly smiles at Asriel and Frisk.

"Thank you for protecting me." Frisk said.

"I couldn't let anypony hurt you." Asriel said. Frisk giggles and hugs Asriel

"We almost there, mommy?" She asked.

"Uh..." Twilight said. She looks out the window, seeing the empire just in the distance. "Give it another couple minutes, Frisk." She said. Toriel has a wide smile on her face.

"Ooh, this is so exciting!" She said.

"I just hope they won't make too much of a fuss about Frisk." Twilight said. Toriel's smile fades.

"If they dare harm her, I will protect her." Toriel stated.

"I'm sure you will." Twilight said, smiling nervously. Frisk raises her forelegs to Toriel, smiling.

"Mommy!" She said happily. Toriel smiles and picks Frisk up.

"Yes sweetie?" She asked.

"I love you!" Frisk said, hugging Toriel. Toriel hugs back slightly tighter.

"I love you too." She said. Frisk hugs back even tighter.

"Love you more, mommy!" She said. Toriel nuzzles Frisk. Frisk giggles and smiles. Toriel notices that the train was stopping at the station.

"Oh! Looks like we've arrived!" Twilight said happily. Asgore snorts and wakes up from the honking of the train.

"Wha?" He asked sleepily. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"We're here, honey." She said.

"Oh! Uh...I guess I slept through the whole ride, huh? " Asgore asked. He tilts his head left and right, popping the bones. Toriel giggles.

"You've been sleeping a lot lately." She said.

"Ugh...I know...I'm sorry..." He yawned. Asgore gently hugs Toriel and kisses Frisk's head. Frisk giggles.

"Silly daddy." She giggled.

"It's okay, Asgore, you've been running a kingdom for a thousand years with hardly any rest, except for when you take care of your flowers, you need the rest." Toriel said. Asgore smiles

"Thanks, honey." He said, nuzzling Toriel.

"Should we be going now mommy and daddy?" Frisk asked.

"Yep!" Twilight said, getting out of her seat.

"Asriel can I ride on you?" Frisk asked. Asriel smiles and nods.

"Sure!" He said. Toriel gets out of her seat and stretches.

"I think my wings fell asleep." She said. Asgore smiles and walks besides Toriel as they exit the train. Frisk squees with joy and gets onto Asriel's back.

"Hey, wait up!" Asriel yells as he gallops after Toriel and Asgore, with Frisk on his back.

"Wheee!!" Frisk giggles joyfully as they pass many ponies. Toriel looks and sees Frisk having fun, causing her to warmly smile.

"Aww, ain't that cute." She said happily. Asgore nuzzles Toriel's cheek.

"It certainly is, dear." He said. Frisk hugs Asriel as she rides around on his back. Toriel smiles at Asgore as she levitates the pie near her. Asriel reaches Asgore and Toriel, slightly out of breath. Frisk giggles and nuzzles Asriel.

"You can walk now brother." She said. Asriel nods and smiles. Toriel notices a white unicorn with a blue mane and a pink alicorn standing in the middle of the station.

"Cadance! Shining Armour!" Twilight yelled happily. She smiles and trots up to them.

"Oh...I think that's them...uh..." Frisk said, scared. She slowly gets off Asriel's back and hides behind him. Toriel stays next to her.

"It'll be okay, Frisk, we're here for you." She said.

"And I'll protect you." Asriel said.

"Twilight! I didn't expect you to be here so early!" Shining armor said. Cadence sniffles a small giggle.

"We weren't expecting you until the next train!" She said.

"Oh, you know how I am! Gotta get things done!" Twilight said happily.

"Are these the ponies you told us about?" Shining asked, looking at Asgore and Toriel.

"Yep!" Twilight said.

"What about that...changeling you told us about?" Cadence asked. Frisk takes a deep breath and gulps before shakidly getting up.

"H-hi." She said shakily.

"Oh...we uh....thought you threw the whole changeling thing into your letter as a joke..." Shining said.

"I can't allow her into our castle...for all we know it could be Chrysalis disguised as a filly changeling! I'm sorry." Cadence said.

"See mom?" Frisk sniffed, looking up at Toriel sadly. "Nopony wants me around..." She sniffed as a tear slips from her cheek she runs off to hide behind the building.

"Okay...I don't think Chrysalis would have run off crying like that..." Shining said. Toriel glares at Shining armor and cadence, before running off after Frisk.

"Frisk, wait!" She yelled. Asriel looks at Shining armor and Cadence with disgust.

"Seriously!?" He yells. Cadence kneels down to Asriel's height.

"Look, this invitation was for my baby shower, as in the baby I'm going to have. Changelings can be tricksters into getting what they want, and being a mother I don't and won't put my baby at risk." She said, gently ruffles Asriel's mane with a hoof. Frisk curls up into a ball against the wall, sobbing quietly. Asriel knocks Cadence's hoof away.

"I don't need that! We finally made Frisk come here, and you turn her away like that!?" He yells, turning into his alicorn form.

"We were happy for her, and you just ruined that!" He yells. Cadence stares up as Asriel, jaw dropped. Shining Armor faints.

"Nopony wants me...nopony likes me...why do I have to be such an ugly creature!?" Frisk cries.

"I'm sorry! I am only doing what's best for my baby! If she really means no harm, then I don't have a problem with her...I'm only protecting my baby..." Cadence said in fright. Toriel sees Frisk.

"Oh, Frisk. Mommy's here." She said. Asriel glares at them one last time, before walking the way Toriel went.

"Why does everypony hate me..." Frisk sniffed. Toriel picks her up and hugs her.

"They just misjudged you. They didn't know who you were, they only saw what you were." She said.

"Told you I should have stayed home..." Frisk sniffed, looking down. Cadence sighs at Shining then walks over to Toriel.

"Is she okay? I honestly had no intentions of hurting her feelings..." She said, looking down slightly.

"Why can't I just be a normal pony, mommy? Then maybe I won't get picked on..." Frisk said.

"Did she call you mommy?" Cadence asked, tilting her head in confusion. Toriel looks at Cadence and nods.

"Yea, we found her in a pair of trash cans, and we decided to take her in." She said. Asriel looks at Frisk.

"Hey Frisk, big brothers here." He said. Frisk jumps and clings to Asriel's neck.

"Frisk?" Cadence asked. Frisk hesitantly turns her head to look at Cadance.

"W-what?" She asked, scared.

"I'm sorry for making you upset...I can see you're clearly not like other changelings. Your kind has been known to cause mayhem and mischief...as you know about their attack on Canterlot." Cadence said.

"I know..." Frisk said, looking down. "Them doing that got everypony to hate me. They think I'm just bad and evil..." She sniffed. Cadence smiles and with her magic she pulls Frisk into a caring hug. Frisk smiles and hugs back.

"Thanks, your highness. At least your baby won't need to worry about being a freak like me..." She says, looking down.

"Oh sweetie you aren't a freak. You're quite adorable honestly!" Cadence giggles. "You may be small," She said, looking into Frisk's eyes. "But you've got a big heart full of love." She added. Frisk smiles.

"Thank you." She said happily. Asriel smiles as he shrinks back into a colt. Toriel smiles as well.

"Um, Cadence, if you don't mind me asking, why do you not like changelings?" She asked.

"Well, It's not tht I don't like them, I just want to stay protected from them, but I can see Frisk means no harm at all." Cadence smiles, holding Frisk close in her forelegs. "In fact I wouldn't mind at all if she ever wanted to visit." She said. Frisk has a wide smile, nuzzling Cadance's chest.

"Shall we be going? My husband has decided to pass out." Cadence said as she puts Frisk down by Toriel with her magic. Frisk runs back and hugs Cadence's leg.

"Thank you so much!" She said happily.

"Awe, ain't she cute?" Cadence said. Toriel nods.

"That she is." She agreed.

"Let's also make sure he doesn't do anything drastic." Asriel added.

"I'll make sure of it." Cadence said.

"Mommy can I ride on Cadance's back? Maybe if I do that, then ponies will see I'm not bad!" Frisk pointed out.

"That's actually not a bad idea!" Cadence agreed. She smiles and places Frisk on her back.

"Aww, so cute!" Asgore said, smiling at her. "Daddy loves you!" He said.

"I love you too Daddy!" Frisk said happily. She hugs his muzzle before he can move away. Toriel smiles and places Asriel on her back.

"Shall we get going?" She asked.

"Yep!" Cadence said. She picks up her sleeping husband in her magic and begins walking.

"Auntie Cadence!" Frisk said.

"What? Auntie? But I'm not even your mother's sister..." Cadence said. Asgore chuckles.

"She calls Twilight her auntie as well." He added.

"I just go with it, plus it's cute!" Twilight said. Toriel giggles.

"That is true." She said.

"Alright, I'll be your auntie." Cadence said. She nuzzles Frisk's cheek as they walk.

"Yay! I love you Auntie Cadance!" Frisk yells happily.

"Oh haha, l-love you too!" Cadence said with a smile, but felt a little weird to say it to a changeling. Frisk smiles and lays down on Cadence's back, nestling in her fur. Tor warmly smiles.

"Awww, so cute." She said. Asriel lays on top of Toriel's head. Cadence smiles at Frisk.

"Taking a nap?" She asked. Frisk nods and closes her eyes with a yawn.

"Sleep well then." Cadence said, stopping for a second to kiss Frisk's head. Toriel smiles. Asriel looks around at the many crystal buildings. The many ponies they pass by tend to stop an stare at the changeling filly upon Cadence's back. A small giggle or chuckle could also be heard from the unconscious, snoring Shining Armor as he sucks on his tail whilst being floated along in Cadance's magic.

"I wonder what the guards at the gate will say." Cadence said. Both Asriel and Toriel shrug.

"Well, they better not try to hurt my little filly!" Asgore warned.

"Or they'll have to face me and Toriel." Asriel said

"Seems you guys really care for this filly, huh?" Cadence asked. Toriel nods.

"We do." She said. Asriel nods as well.

"Yep!" He said.

"Why wouldn't I care about my own daughter?" Asgore said. He smiles at a sleeping Frisk, snoring slightly, curled up on Cadance's back. Cadence smiles.

"She's quite the cutie...I feel bad for hurting her feelings..." She apologizes.

"Let's just say, you weren't the only one we had to talk to about hurting Frisk's feelings." Toriel said.

"I was one too...and yeah..." Twilight said. Toriel notices that they were in front a a massive castle with a crystal like heart in the middle. She looks around in amazement.

"Here we are!" Cadence said happily.

"This... this is amazing, it's as amazing as our castle, right Asgore." Toriel said in amazement. Asriel looks up at the massive tower.

"It is..." Asgore said. Cadence smiles and leads them to the entrance. Toriel follows cadence. The guards instantly take notice of Frisk.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" They roar, drawing their spears.

"Whoah woah! She's with us! She's okay!" Cadence yelled, trying to calm the guards. Frisk wakes up from the yelling, only to see a spear in her face.

"GAH!!" She screamed. She flinches back and falls off of Cadance. Asriel turns back into his alicorn form and steps in front of the guards, glaring at them.

"Back away from my little sister!" He yells. Toriel holds Frisk close. With her magic Cadence restrains the guards and takes their weapons.

"You better not dare hurt this filly! You hear?" She says angrily. The guards nod and then Cadance drops them. "Okay let's continue!" She said. Asriel glares at them one last time, causing them to shiver in fear, before turning back into a colt. Toriel looks at Frisk.

"Are you okay, Frisk?" She asked.

"Wasn't really what I wanted to wake up to..." She sniffed.

"It's okay, mommy's here." Toriel said. Frisk stays close to Toriel as they are led through the halls. Toriel keeps a wary eye on the guards as they walk.

"Mommy im scared..." Frisk said scared as she walks underneath Toriel. "I wanna go home..." She sniffed. Toriel picks Frisk up and holds her close.

"It's okay sweetie, I'm here." She said. Frisk curls up in toriel's grasp.

"I love you mommy." She yawned. Toriel warmly smiles at her.

"I love you too, Frisk." She said. Frisk nuzzles her mother's chest, smilng slightly. Toriel warmly smiles at her.

"Mom?" Frisk asked.

"Yes sweetie?" Toriel asked back.

"Promise you'll always love me?" She said. Toriel hugs her tight.

"I promise I will never stop loving you." She said.

"I'll never stop loving you either, mom!" Frisk said happily as they approach Cadance's room. Toriel nuzzles her. Frisk smiles. Asriel looks around. Toriel places Frisk on her back. Cadence sighs and stands in front of her door.

"I just hope Celestia will understand your situation with Frisk." She said.

"I hope so..." Frisk said, hugging Toriel. Asriel notices that one of the unicorn mares is looking in their direction. The unicorn quickly turns away. Cadence takes a deep breath and walks in.

"We have guests!" She said. Asriel raises an eyebrow, before walking in. Toriel walks in as well. Frisk was shking again, she stays behind Toriel, scared to death of the sun and lunar godesses themselves being mere feet from her.

"First things first...surprisingly don't involve my baby, but should be taken care of is..." Cadence said, looking around her. "A very special guest of ours... Frisk?" Cadence said. Shutting her eyes tight, Frisk hesitantly steps out into view.

"It's okay, Frisk, I've already met them, their very friendly." Toriel said.

"N-not to changelings..." Frisk said, scared. Celestia's jaw drops.

"Is that a...changeling!?" She yelled. Cadence nods.

"That she is." She said

"And she's a good one!" Twilight said.

"My daughter. Adopted, obviously, but still!" Asgore said.

"But we havn't seen a changeling since the attack of thou's home!" Luna said.

"Well it's nice to see you two again." Toriel said slightly sarcastically.

"But Frisk is different!" Cadence yelled.

"She even goes to school in Ponyville!" Twilight said.

"Is this true?" asked Celestia, standing over, Frisk, gazing down at her with a raised brow. Frisk nods.

"Uh huh...I even made fr-friends! Please don't blast me your highness!" She yells, cowering in fear.

"Cadance, why would you bring a changeling to your baby shower? Chrysalis even could be disguised as this filly!" Celestia said. Cadence chuckles nervously.

"I said the same thing...but it's obvious she wouldn't run crying like Frisk did...not that I'm picking on the poor thing, just trying to prove a point! She even asked me to be her auntie!" She said. Twilight nods in agreement.

"Same here, princess. She's our friend." She said. Frisk nods and hugs Cadence's leg. Cadence gently hugs back and nuzzles Frisk's cheek.

"I love you, Auntie Cadance." Frisk said.

"Oh, and Celestia, we have good news!" Toriel said happily.

"What is it?" Celestia asked. Toriel looks at Asriel.

"Asriel, can you come up here?" Asriel asked. Toriel looks at Asriel.

"Celestia, I would like you to meet our son, Asriel." She said.

"Aww, what an adorable colt!" Celestia said. She smiles and ruffles his mane. "But...Im not sure what to say about your changeling...she could still pose a threat...but to appear alone before the princesses in one room..." She said. "I doubt she'd hurt anypony." She said, nuzzling Frisk. Frisk smiles and nuzzles back.

"Thanks your highness!" She said happily.

"And there is one sad part about Asriel, we havn't seen him for a thousand years." Toriel said. Asriel's entire body shakes.

"Please don't remind me that I died mom." He said.

"Thousand? He's only a child!" Celestia said. She lifts her head back up, only for Frisk to hold on.

"Wheee!" Frisk yells excitedly.

"Well, um, you see your highness, for a thousand years, I was a flower, but not just a any flower, but a flower that was my hatred, my anger towards everyone. I... I wasn't myself. I even killed my own father!" He yells as tears started to appear in his eyes.

"But how is he here then..." Celestia said in shock.

"Son...come..." Asgore said. He puts Asriel on his back and goes out into the hall. "You okay?" He asked as he pulls Ariel into a tight and caring hug. Asriel cries against Asgore's chest as he hugs him tight.

"It's alright, Asriel, I love you." Asgore said. He holds him just as tight . "It's in the past, okay?" He asked.

"I know, but it hurts so much." Asriel sniffs.

"I know, I know. But we're together now and it's all that matters." Asgore said. Asriel falls asleep in Asgore's hug. Frisk holds her forelegs out to Luna.

"Hug?" She asked as she smiles from atop Celestia's head. Luna smiles and picks Frisk up.

"I have to admit, you're quite cute." She said. Asgore sits down on a bench and holds him close. Frisk giggles in Luna's hold.

"Thanks!" She said happily. She snuggles close to Luna, nuzzling her chest. Toriel smiles at the scene.

"I'm gonna go check and see how Asriel is doing." She said, before walking the way that Asgore went. Asgore gently runs a hoof along Asriel's back as he holds him. Toriel notices Asgore holding a sleeping Asriel.

"Asgore, how's he doing?" She asked.

"Oh, he cried for a bit and fell asleep." Asgore said. He smiles how Asriel is giving off a slight snore. "How's Frisk?" He asked. Frisk falls asleep in Luna's grasp.

"She's doing great with the princesses." Toriel said.

"That's good to hear." Asgore said happily. Frisk smiles in her sleep, nuzzling Luna's chest again. Toriel nods. Luna smiles at Frisk.

"Sister, just look at her. Now if she was Queen Chrysalis, she wouldn't be doing this." She said.

"I know she isn't Chrysalis. She's a sweet filly, isn't she?" Celestia asked. Luna nods in agreement.

"She is." She said. Celestia gently nuzzles the sleeping changeling's cheek.

"Never thought I'd ever be nuzzling a changeling, but Frisk isn't bad. I can see it she just wants to be like everypony else." She said. Luna nods in agreement.

"Shall we head back, Asgore?" Toriel asked.

"Let's get Frisk." Asgore said. Toriel nods.

"Do you want me to hold Asriel? Or do you?" She asked. Asgore smiles.

"I got Asriel. He's pretty comfy as it is. Wouldn't want to wake him." He said. Asriel mutters in his sleep.

"We should tell ponies about this so she doesn't get treated as if she were a normal changling." Celestia said. Luna nods.

"That would be a good idea." She said. Asgore gets up and places Asriel onto his back. Frisk chews a bit on some of Luna's fur as she sleeps. Toriel smiles.

"Let's head back." She said. Luna looks at Frisk happily. Frisk snores lightly, curled up in Luna's grasp. Luna smiles at her. Toriel walks back in and notices Frisk sleeping quietly in Luna's hooves.

"Aww, so cute." She said. Frisk smiles as she sleeps.

"I bet you'd want her back?" Celestia asked.

"And she's my neice apparently..." Cadence said. Twilight giggles a little.

"She seems to be happy with Luna." Toriel said. Luna nods in agreement. She notices a unicorn mare walking towards their direction.

"Oh, hello, Feather Dust! I've been needing you!" Celestia said. Toriel notices that feather duster was the same unicorn mare that was staring at them while they were with Cadence.

"Would you mind getting us a small blanket for this filly?" Celestia asked, pointing a hoof towards Frisk. Toriel notices that something was a bit off about Feather Duster, but can't quite put her hoof on it. Luna continues to look at Frisk with happiness. Frisk twitches slightly, and stirs herself into a more comfortable position.

"I'll make it known she's welcome here anytime she likes." Celestia said. Toriel smiles.

"Thank you, Celestia." She said happily.

"I just want to hug her tight. She's just so cute!" Luna said. Frisk mumbles in her sleep, before smiling.

"Aww, Luna." Celestia cooed. Luna warmly smiles at Frisk. Toriel notices that Feather Duster hasn't left, nor said anything.

"Soo...when can I be expecting the blanket for Frisk?" Celestia asked. Toriel could have sworn she saw a sneer appear on feather duster's face for a second.

"I don't know...it seems like a far walk to me...when I've come quite a ways already." Feather Duster said. Toriel raises an eyebrow in confusion. Luna is slightly confused.

"What do you mean exactly, it shouldn't be that far to get a blanket." She said.

"It was a long way to get HERE! For her!" Feather Duster yelled, pointing at Frisk. "My run away daughter!" She yelled. Frisk mumbles from the noise, shifting in Luna's grasp and mumbles mommy, slightly awake, wanting Toriel.

"What do you mean?" Celestia asked in confusion.

"Don't you get it!?" The mare groans as a green flame erupts around her, leaving a smirking Queen Chrysalis behind after dissapating.

"That filly is my daughter!" She yells. Toriel eyes widen at the transformation, before stepping in front of Queen Chrysalis with a look of protection.

"You will not take her!" She said. Asriel hears yelling and wakes up, only to see Toriel in front of Luna and Queen Chrysalis. He immediately knows what's happening and gets off Asgore and runs to his mother's side. Frisk snaps awake and gasps.

"M-mother!" She yells. She scambles out of Luna's hold and runs to hide behind Toriel.

"She is MY daughter! She ran from home because the others tease her! She is the heir to the throne, and you cannot tell me what I can and cannot do with my daughter!" Chrysalis snarled. She glares, standing half a foot taller than Toriel, smirking down upon her.

"Like you could ever have a chance of stopping me." She smirked.

"Chrysalis! Leave, or you know what'll happen, since it's happened before!" Said the solar godess, standing between the bug pony and Toriel.

"Oh, I mean no harm relly. I only wih to bring my little girl home. You know how much a mother loves their children. But if it's a fight you want, I'll fight till my last breath for her!" Chrysalis said. Toriel glares at her.

"If you'd loved her, you would have looked for her. But no, we found her in a pair of trash cans in a alleyway, no mother would let their daughter be in there. I will gladly give my life to protect her from you!" She yells.

"If I wasn't looking for her, why am I here now!? She's MY daughter and she's coming with ME!" Chrysalis yelled. She stomps her hoof and with a light of her horn she teleports out of the castle with Frisk. Toriel's eye twitches as her horn lights up and she disappears after Chrysalis. She hears Frisk's screams and sees Chrysalis running away. Something inside her snaps at seeing Frisk terrified.

"Give her back!!" She roars as she flaps her wings, rocketing towards Chrysalis. The queen of changeling gave a smirk, placing a magical barrier before Toriel. Toriel sees the barrier and her horn lights. The barrier is engulfed in flames, then shatters as Toriel nears Chrysalis. Chrysalis growls between her teeth and teleports farther a head.

"Moooommmmyyyy!!!!" Frisk screams. Toriel's anger grows at Frisk screams. Her horn glows and she teleports in front of Chrysalis. Her horn glows even brighter and a dome of fire surrounds them.

"Give. My. Daughter. Back!" She yelled.

"Never!" Chrysalis yelled. She fires a green beam of energy at Toriel. A wall of fire appears and blocks the beam, dispersing it.

"Give. Her. Back." Toriel demanded.

"Why would I!?" Chrysalis ask, slightly shakily, running out of ideas to stop Toriel. Toriel steps through the fire unharmed.

"Because, I'm her mother, and your not. You may say that you care for her, but I highly doubt that. I've been taking care of her and making her happy ever since me and Asgore found her in the alleyway." She said.

"Now I won't ask you again. Give. Her. Back." She demanded again. Decides there is no stopping this mare and that she needs to get away. Chrysalis tries to teleport, but her magic fails her.

"B-But she's MY daughter!" She yells, her voice quivering with fear. Toriel sneers at her.

"She's my daughter! I took care of her, I feed her, I made her happy, she made friends at school and with the princesses, I gave her love and made sure she was protected. Even her big brother protected her too. She is mine, and I would like her back." She said.

"Did you hatch her!? No! I DID! Did you spend the first few months starving because you'd rather feed her? NO! I did!" Chrysalis yelled. Frisk curls up in Chrysalis's green aura of magic, sobbing to herself.

"That may be true. But were you there when she made friends at school? No! Were you there to keep her happy when she was scared? No! Where you there when her big brother protected her from bullies. No! Were you truly there to make sure that she was happy to be friends with the princesses? No! So hand me my daughter back, now." Toriel demanded as she was standing not to far from Chrysalis.

"But you aren't her actual mother!" Chrysalis yelled. She starts to tear up.

"She ran from home and I only want my baby girl back...I try to keep her happy, but the other hatchling toss her around and pick on her..." She sniffed, bringing Frisk to her chest. "What kind of a mother would I be to let her be in a world full of ponies who will mostly all hate on her!?" She yelled. A tear falls from her cheek.

"I know I can be harsh on her at times...but it's only for when she becomes queen! She'll need to be strong! Don't take her from me..." She sniffed.

"But I'm making friends with the ponies..." Frisk said.

"She is making friends with the ponies, why not you?" Toriel asked.

"Long story I'm in no mood for telling. I only wish to bring MY daughter HOME!" Chrysalis yelled.

"It's because of the attack that Luna talked about, isn't it?" Toriel asked.

"Our races have NEVER gotten along. Last thing I'd ever trust my baby with is a pony!" Chrysalis said in anger.

"Frisk's been happy ever since she's been with me and my family, even made friends with ponies." Toriel said.

"You know what!? Let HER choose! I can't believe I'm doing this." Chrysalis said. She stomps a hoof and sets Frisk down between Toriel and herself, a five foot distance to either pony.

"Choose, SKY. ME, your MOTHER or a PONY who is only tricking you!" Chrysalis yelled.

"I..." Frisk said, not knowing what to do. She sits there, glancing between the two. "I..." She said again.

"Frisk, remember how much fun you had at school, the friends you made while your big brother made sure you were protected." Toriel said.

"Don't run form me because of some stubborn, jealous colts..." Chrysalis said. Frisk looks down at the ground.

"I love you both...a lot...this is all my fault..." She sniffed.

"Chrysalis!" Said the sun goddess, appearing behind Chrysalis.

"You know what...I'll just go." Chrysalis said quickly. She looks down at Frisk and pulls her into a hug.

"Just...stay safe and behave...okay? " She said sadly. She kisses Frisk's head and gets up. "Take care of her." She said to Toriel. With a final tear she teleports away. Frisk looks down sadly. Toriel looks at Frisk with sadness.

"Frisk?" She asked.

"My name is actually Sky." Frisk sniffed, wiping her muzzle with her hoof.

"Do you need a hug?" Toriel asked.

"Yes, mommy..." Frisk sniffed. Toriel pulls Frisk into a slightly tight hug.

"I'm here, everything will be okay." She said.

"Mommy...I wanna go home..." Frisk said, cuddling in Toriel's hug. "Can I sleep with you and daddy again?" She asked. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Sure." She said. She notices Celestia come closer with a look of worry.

"Maybe it's best she goes back. I never thought a changeling like Chrysalis herself could care for anypony so much." She said.

"But I don't wanna go back...Toriel's my mommy!" Frisk said. Toriel has a slight look of sadness.

"I tried to reason with Chrysalis, but she refused. Why, I tried to help her." She sighed.

"Things will only get better if she goes back." Celestia said.

"No! I wanna stay with mommy!" Frisk yells, tightly hugs Toriel and starts to cry. "I don't wanna go back! Toriel is my mommy! Nopony else! And Asgore is my daddy! I have friends and I'm happy with mommy!" She cried. Celestia sighs.

"Mommy just take me home! I don't wanna be here anymore!" Frisk yells. Toriel looks at Celestia slightly angry.

"I will not send her back to Chrysalis. She's staying with me and my family." She stated.

"Think about. She IS a changeling. Most ponies will only see her as what she is. She'll be teased more than you could ever imagine. She may have gotten lucky at her school, how you even got her enrolled there baffles me. I know Frisk is a sweet filly, but not everypoy will see eye to eye. Think about what's best for HER. she needs to be fed love to survive. You can't do that the way changelings can. Soon...you won't want to know what'll happen if she isn't given love soon. You love her to death, I know. Could you love her enough to do what's right?" Celestia asked. Frisk looks down, knowing where Celestia is getting at.

"She's right..." She sniffed. Toriel is even angrier.

"If she needed love to survive, then how come when Frisk ate food, she was fine, even at school, there wasn't any love, how come she was fine, can you explain that?" She asked.

"I've known changelings all my life. Even fillies can go a week or two without love. You've had her only a few days I can tell. Her chitin is only slightly faded from deprivation. Ignore my advice you'll only be hurting her. A good mother wouldn't want their own children to starve now, am I right?" Celestia asked.

"I will never let her starve, but I will never let her go back to Chrysalis." Toriel said. She suddenly has an idea. "Wait a minute. My pie! Celestia, is the pie still with Luna and my family before you came here?" She asked. Celestia tilts her head in confusion.

"Yes, why?" She asked. Toriel concentrates and her horn lights up. The pie appears and she looks at Frisk.

"Frisk, do you want a slice of pie?" She asked. As soon as she asked that, Frisk's stomach growled.

"Depression make me not hungry..." Frisk said. Toriel sighs.

"All right, let's get Asgore and Asriel, and head home." Toriel said.

"I should have never been born..." She sniffed. Toriel gasps at her.

"Frisk, don't say that! If you've never been born, then you would never meet me, Asgore, and your big brother." She said.

"I should just leave and never come back...that'd fix it..." Frisk said. She lay unmoving in Toriel's arms, her crying had ceased. Toriel looks at her in shock.

"Frisk? Frisk!?" She yells. She doesn't respond, but Toriel could see that she was sleeping.

"Take her home with you. I hope soon you'll make the right choice." Celestia said. She lights her horn and disappears. Toriel looks at where Celestia stood, before sighing and placing Frisk on her back. She walks back towards where Asgore and Asriel is.

"Toriel? Something wrong?" Asgore asked. Toriel looks at him with tears in her eyes.

"It's Frisk, she's not looking to good..." She sniffed.

"Let's get home and we can talk about it then okay?" Asgore asked. He looks and sees a worried princesses Luna. "Something wrong, princess?" He asked. Luna looks at Frisk with worry.

"Is... is she okay?" She asked.

"I... I don't know..." Toriel sniffed. Frisk mumbles in her sleep, reaching for Luna.

"We're going to take care of her that's a promise." Asgore promised. Luna picks Frisk up and holds her close, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Please do. I can't see a little filly like this, it's heartbreaking." She sniffed.

"We will." Asgore said. Luna wipes her eyes with her hoof and places Frisk back on Toriel's back.

"Please, be safe." She sniffed. Frisk mumbles again for Luna.

"Maybe you keep her tonight. She seems to want to be with you for now." Asgore said. Luna picks Frisk up again and holds her close.

"I will take good care of her." She promised. Toriel wipes the tears from her eyes. Frisk smiles in her sleep and snuggles close to Luna.

"We could maybe stay the night as well? In a guest room or something so we wont have to make two more train trips?" Asgore suggested. Luna nods.

"There is, I can take you to one that's near the one I'm staying in, so that you three can be close can be close." She offered. Toriel nods.

"Thank you." She said. She also notices that Asriel is asleep on Asgore's back.

"Alright. Keep Frisk close okay? She hates being lonely." Asgore chuckles slightly to himself.

"Come, both of you must be tired." Luna said. Frisk snuggles against Luna.

"We are..." Asgore yawned. Frisk has a small smile as she slept.

"Come, let me take you to your room." Luna said, turning around and walking down a hallway. Toriel follows. Asgore nods and follows alongside Toriel and plants a soft kiss on her cheek.

"I love you." He said. Toriel weakly smiles at him.

"I love you too." She said.

"Luna..." Frisk mumbles in her sleep, nuzzling Luna's chest. Frisk wakes up and sees Luna and smiles.

"Hi Luna." She said. She yawns and gets more comfortable in her arms. "I love you." She yawned. She gently hugs her around the neck and nuzzles her cheek. Luna smiles at her.

"Why is your chest wet?" Frisk asked.

"Well, you were noming on my fur a bit while you slept, that's why it's wet." Luna said.

"Oh...sorry..." Frisk giggles in embarrassment. Luna smiles.

"It's okay, Frisk." She said as she stops in from of a door. She looks at Asgore and Toriel. "Here's your room. And Frisk, do you want to stay with me, or Toriel tonight?" She asked.

"I think I'll sleep with you, Luna. You're super soft and comfy!" Frisk said, snuggling Luna's chest. Luna nods and looks over at Toriel and Asgore.

"I'll take good care of her." She said.

"Thank you." Toriel said.

"Good night mommy and daddy!" Frisk said. She waves to them as she's carried away by Luna. "I love you, Luna." She said happily. She hugs her gently. Luna smiles.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I love you too, Frisk. You're so cute!" She said.

"Thanks!" Frisk said happily. She hugs tighter as they enter one of the guest suites.

"I can't believe I'm sleeping with YOU, co ruler of Equestria! And I'm a CHANGELING!" She giggles. "I like you a lot Luna!" She said. Luna nuzzles Frisk as she gets on her rooms bed.

"I like you a lot too, Frisk." She said. Frisk smiles, snuggling on top of Luna.

"Can you wrap your wings around me? Mamma always does." She said. Luna nods.

"Sure." She said and does what Frisk asked. Frisk smiles and nuzzles Luna's cheek.

"Good night best friend." She yawned. Luna warmly smiles at Frisk.

"Good night, Frisk." She said.

"Can I have a kiss?" Frisk asked. Luna nods and does what Frisk asked again.

"Thank you Luna." Frisk yawns. She smiles and curls up on top of Luna's chest, closing her eyes. Luna closes her eyes as well and falls asleep, her chest rising and falling slowly. Frisk gives off a slight purr as she sleeps. Asgore climbs into the large bed with his wife and son, holding them close.

"I just hope that Frisk will be okay." Toriel said.

"I'm sure Luna will keep her safe." Asgore said. He smiles warmly at Toriel and kisses her cheek softly.

"I have to be honest, you're really cute as a pony." He said. Toriel blushes slightly. Frisk snores lightly.

"Aww, thank you sweetie." Toriel said.

"My pretty mare." Asgore said. He smiles and holds one of her hooves in his.

"My pretty stallion." Toriel said.

"What if...we were to...have a foal?" Asgore asked. Toriel is surprised by Asgore's question.

"Are... are you sure, I mean, we have Asriel and Frisk." She said.

"As they say, the more the better." Asgore said, smiling. Toriel smiles as well.

"If... if that's what you want, then let's have another son or daughter." She said. Asgore smiles widely and hugs Toriel.

"Our first child as ponies in a long time." He said. Toriel hugs back. Asgore holds his wife close, cherishing finally being able to hold her again.

"I've missed holding you to much." He said as he pecks Toriel's cheek. Toriel looks at him with a wide smile.

"I miss holding you too." She said.

"I miss just seeing you, my beautiful wonderful mare." Asgore said happily. Toriel nuzzles him while smiling.

"Want me to rub your belly like I used to? Only...it won't be the same...I don't have fingers anymore." He said. Toriel giggles slightly, before yawning. She starts to nod off.

"If... you'd like." She yawned. Asgore smiles.

"Do you...ever wonder about Frisk...not this Frisk....the one back at home?" He asked. That got Toriel's attention.

"I do, I always wonder what she's doing, if she's fine and made friends, like what she made in the ruins." She said.

"You loved her as if she were your own?" He asked. Frisk turns over and wakes up and smiles at Luna's sleeping face, before laying back down. Toriel nods.

"I do, she made me very happy when she stayed." She said. Asgore sighs and turns away.

"To think I wanted to kill her..." he said in pain.

"I can tell that you didn't want to." Toriel said. Frisk gets off of Luna and tries quietly to trot out to the balcony and smiles, staring up at the moon. And unknown pony with a blue sweater stands behind Frisk.

"Hey kid, may I sit next to ya?" He asked.

"But still!!" He yells. Frisk backs away from the mysterious pony.

"L-luna!" She yelled in fear. Toriel places a hoof on Asgore.

"Asgore Dreemurr, we've already talked about this, you need to forget about the past." She said. Luna snorts, but doesn't wake. She rolls over onto her side.

"Woah, easy kid, I'm a friend of Toriel." The mysterious pony said.

"Leave me alone!" Frisk yelled. She cowers against the doorframe and tries again to call for Luna, but louder.

"LUNAAA!!!" She screamed. Luna wakes up with a start and hears Frisk scream her name. She gets out of bed and rushes towards where frisk is. She sees her standing alone on the balcony.

"Frisk, are you're you okay!?" She asked. Frisk runs to the safety of Luna and turns her head back to see the pony gone.

"Th-there was somepony there..." She said, scared. She hides behind one of Luna's forelegs. "You'll protect me right, Luna?" She asked. Luna pulls Frisk into a hug and nods.

"Yes Frisk, I'll protect you." She said. Frisk smiles, nuzzling Luna's chest.

"I love you, Luna." She said.

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

"I really like it when you hold me." Frisk said happily. Luna smiles at her. Frisk snuggles closer to Luna. Luna warmly smiles at Frisk. Frisk smiles and begins to fall asleep.

"Love you...Luna..." She mutters, before falling asleep. Luna smiles back at Frisk and carries her back to the bed. Frisk mutters in her sleep. Luna lays on her back on the bed, placing Frisk on her chest. Frisk smiles. Luna closes her eyes and falls asleep, not knowing that the mysterious pony looked at them through the balcony door.

"Sleep tight kid, you'll need it." He said, before walking to the edge of the balcony and disappears.

Meanwhile, with Celestia

While the other's had long gone to bed, Celestia remained pacing back and forth through the hall, contemplating what to do with Frisk. The mysterious pony appears behind Celestia, leaning against the wall.

"Yo, sunny." He said. Celestia turned around.

"Whoes there!?" She yells.

"Over here." The mysterious pony said, waving hello at Celestia.

"How did you get in here!?" She yelled. Frisk begins to stir in her sleep.

"Woah, easy now, you don't want to blow my ears off would you." He said, just as a symbol crash came from somewhere. Celestia rolls her eyes.

"What do you want?" She asked. Frisk mumbles, tossing and turning for a short moment before settling back down.

"I heard what you said about returning Frisk." The pony said.

"And?" She said.

"It's a horrible idea." The pony said.

"And what might that be?" Celestia asked. Frisk is sleeping soundly on Luna's chest, curled up with her head under her chin.

"Because sending her back to that bug pony will only make her hate you and make her very sad." The pony said. Celestia sighs.

"It's what's best for her. I know Chrysalis is not the best pony around, but she obviously cares about her daughter." She said.

"But I won't allow that to happen. Toriel made me promise to protect Frisk, even if this Frisk isn't the frisk I know, I will still protect her. Even from you." The pony said. Celestia frowns.

"I'd never hurt the poor thing!" She says. The mysterious pony's permanent smile slightly dips. There's some slight anger in his voice.

"Then why send her back, if it will only hurt her and Toriel." He said. Celestia sighs.

"Look, I don't know who you are or how you got past the guards. I have enough troubles on my list, and I don't need you to be one of them, now scram!" She yelled. She turns back around and starts walking down the hall. The mysterious pony appears right next to her as she walks down the hall and walks right next to her.

"You better choose your next words wisely, because I don't take too kindly to monsters, or in this case ponies who would hurt my friends feelings, even if they are royalty." He warned.

"Is that a threat? Please, it's late at night, I need sleep, not death requests." Celestia said, deadpaning.

"Oh, it's not a death threat, it's a warning. So you better watch yourself, because I sorta have a bone to pick with you." He said, and the symbol crash came again from somewhere.

"Yeah sure, whatever suits you." She said sarcastically. She enters her room and locks the door, making the room magic proof so nothing can get in or out magically. The pony shakes his head and disappears. But before he does, he leaves one last message that sorta disturbs Celestia.

"You don't want to have a bad time." He said. Those words sent a shiver down Celestia's back. She shakes her head and rolls her eyes and gets into her bed. The pony reappears in Luna's room and looks at Luna and Frisk. His mood brightens as he looks at Frisk.

"You'll do great things kid." He said, then disappears. Frisk snorts awake and looks around the room, confused. Luna mumbles in her sleep. Frisk giggles a little. Luna hears the giggle and opens her eyes. She looks around in confusion.

"Wha?" She asked.

"You talk in your sleep." Frisk whispers with another giggle afterwards.

"Oh, um..." Luna said in embarrassment. Frisk nuzzles Luna's cheek, then gets an idea.

"Hey! Can we be like...sisters! Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo did!" Frisk says cheerily, hopping up and down on Luna's chest. "Oh I would love to be your little sis!" She said happily. Luna's eyes widen.

"But, we'll have to ask your mother though, and Celestia too, okay?" She asked.

"Mommy will be alright with it I know! But Celesia...she wants to send me away..." Frisk sniffed, looking down.

"Oh, come here." Luna said, pulling Frisk into a hug. Frisk hugs back.

"We can't be sisters if I'm gone..." She sniffed, tears starting to appear in her eyes.

"You won't let her send me awway, right?" She asked. Luna shakes her head.

"Never. I'll never let Celestia send you back to Chrysalis. Your a good little changeling." She said. Frisk smiles.

"I love you, big sis. I don't care what anypony says, you're a sister to me. And thanks." She said happily. She cuddles on Luna's chest, nestling in her fur. A tear appears in Luna's eyes. She smiles and nuzzles Frisk.

"I love you big sis." Frisk said, nuzzling back. More tears appear in Luna's eyes.

"I love you too." She said happily.

"Luna...are you crying?" Frisk asked. Luna wipes the tears from her eyes.

"It's just that, nopony has ever been this nice to me until I met your mother.

"Same here...now I've got a mommy, a daddy, frinds, a brother and now a big sister!" Frisk said, hugging Luna. "I love you so much, big sis!" She said happily, hugging tight. Luna hugs back.

"Little sister." She said. Frisk smiles happily at Luna and nuzzles her cheek.

"Now, let's go back to bed." Luna said.

"Okay sis!" Frisk said as she curls up more. "I wish I had fur like you ponies. I wouldn't be cold so much..." She said.

"If only could fined a way to turn you into a pony, so that my sister wouldn't send you back." Luna said.

"Mommy probably could, but..." Frisk said, then yawns. "Let's worry about it tomorrow, okay, sis?" She asked. Luna nods and lays on her back on the bed. Frisk lays down on the bed and gets covered in the sheets, waiting for Luna to hold her, smiling at her.

"You're the best sister I could ever ask for, Luna." She yawned. Luna pulls Frisk close to her and holds her close with a smile. Frisk smiles nuzzling her sister's chest and begins to fall asleep.

"Good night sister..." She yawns.

"Good night, Frisk." Luna said. As Frisk begins to fall asleep, she snuggles closer to Luna. Luna smiles at her, before falling asleep.

Chapter 9: Frisk's nightmare and a surprising guest

View Online

Frisk swang happily on the swing, in her changeling form with no care as to who may see her. Toriel sits on a bench with Asgore as Asriel was running around. The changeling filly giggled merrily. Toriel lays her head on Asgore as she watches Frisk with a smile. Asriel runs up to frisk and tags her.

"You're it!" He said. Asgore wraps a foreleg around Toriel, resting his head on hers.

"Our two beautiful children...just look at them." He said.

"Heyyy!!" Frisk whined. She hops off the swing and flies after her brother. Toriel smiles. Asriel runs off while laughing happily. Asgore smiles and nuzzles Toriel.

"I love you so much." he said softly.

"I love you too." Toriel sighs.

"I'm gonna get you!!" Frisk said. Asriel runs into the forest. Asgore holds Toriel close.

"Wait! We shouldn't go in there!" Frisk yells. Asriel doesn't listen and continues.

"Asriel!!" Frisk yells again. There was no response. Everything was deathly quite. Frisk comes to a land in front of the trees.

"Asriel...this isn't funny..." She said, scared. Frisk wanders into the trees in search of her brother. There was still no response.

"Nnngh..." She said, not knowing what to do. She keeps going. There was chatter in the distance.

"Asriel....this is getting scary..." Frisk said, starting to shake in fear. As she continued to walk, the chatter was actually a couple of ponies talking. Frisk snapped a twig under her hoof as she walked. The talking stopped.

"Did you hear that?" One voice asked.

"Yea, I did." Another said.

"Asriel!" Frisk yelled.

"It came from over there!" The first voice yelled.

"A-Asriel...is that you?" Frisk asked, then ducks behind a tree. The sound of hooves stopped where frisk once stood. There were two ponies, both wearing golden armor. They looked around.

"I could have sworn I heard a voice coming from over here." The pony on the right said. Frisk let out a little whimper. The pony on the right's ears perk up from the Frisk's whimper. He looks in her direction and sees her. His eyes narrow.

"There she is!" He yells angrily, pointing at her. Frisk gasped, too scared to move she curls up and cries.

"D-D-Don't hurt me! Please!" She cried. The ponies charge at her, yelling. Scared, she gets up and runs. The two guards catch up to her quite easily and stop her in place. They both had evil like smiles on their faces.

"What should we do with this changeling?" The pony on the right asked.

"I say we hurt it, badly." The pony on the left said. Frisk gasped.

"Please, no! What did I do to you?! I'm just looking for my brother! Please don't hurt me!!" She cried. The pony holding her raises a hoof to strike her.

"ENOUGH!!!" A loud voice yelled and a blue beam incinerated the pony holding Frisk. Frisk drops to the ground, crying.

"Mommy, save me!" She mumbles. The other pony tries to run, but was incinerated as well. Princess Luna drops in front of Frisk and kneels down to her with a look of sadness.

"Frisk..." She said. Frisk peeks and sees Luna.

"Luna!!" She yells. She wraps her forelegs tightly around Luna's neck. Luna wraps a hoof around Frisk lightly. Frisk cries into Luna's neck, hugging tightly. Luna lays her head on Frisk, trying to calm her down.

"Everything will be fine Frisk, it was just a nightmare.." She said.

"H-how? Where is Asriel?" Frisk asked.

"This is a dream, Frisk. All of it isn't real." Luna said.

"You promise, sis?" Frisk looked up into Luna's eyes. Luna warmly smiles and nods.

"I promise." She said. Frisk gave a heavy sigh.

"I got you all wet..." She said.

"It's all right Frisk, you were scared. But everything's all right." Luna said.

"Thank you, big sister." Frisk smiles, nuzzling Luna's chest. "I love you." She said.

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

"Can we...go somewhere else? And...where's Asriel?" Frisk sniffed. Luna nods.

"Sure. And to answer that question, that wasn't the real Asriel." She said.

"Oh..." Frisk said. She climbs onto Luna's back and snuggles against her ethereal mane. Luna's horn lights up and there was a bright flash. When the flash died down, Asgore, Toriel and Asriel all appeared.

"Luna?" Both Toriel and Asriel said.

"Uh...What's going on?" Asgore asked.

"Asriel!!!" Frisk yells. She tackles him down and hugs him tightly. Asriel lands on his back.

"Oof! Frisk?" He said. Toriel looks around, then at Luna with confusion.

"Frisk had a nightmare that I freed her from. I thought that merging all four of your dreams together will bring all of you a good night's rest." Luna said.

"Well, I must be off then. But for now I will leave you with this" she said, closing her eyes. Her horn glows and the scenery changes to a beach.

"I was scared you got hurt!!" Frisk sniffles, snuggling into Asriel. Asriel hugs Frisk.

"Hey, hey, hey, big brother's here." He said. Frisk smiles softly.

"Thank you, big brother." She said. Luna smiles as well.

"Well, I must be off then. But for now I will leave you with this." She said, closing her eyes. Her horn glows and the scenery changes to a beach.

"No! Don't go!" Frisk said. She stumbles over to Luna and hugs her leg. "Please, sis?" she asked. Luna looks down at Frisk and warmly smiles.

"Oh, alright. I'll stay. I can't say no to you." She said. Frisk smiles happily, nuzzling Luna's leg.

"You're the best big sister ever, Luna!" She said. Toriel smiles happily at the sight. Luna lays down next to Frisk. Asriel plays with the sand, trying to make a sand castle, but its not going well. Frisk cuddles against Luna's side, using her magic to raise one of her forelegs, and rests herself under it before letting it go.

"I'm so glad to have you as my sister." She said. Luna nods in agreement.

"I do too." She said. Toriel Lays next to Asgore as the sound of waves crash against the beach. Asriel manages to get the sand into shape, only for it to collapse. He's annoyed by it. Frisk giggled upon noticing Asriel's frustration. With her magic, she restores the castle to its previous small glory.

"This is quite peaceful, isn't it?" Asgore asked. Asriel smiles.

"Thanks Frisk!" He said. Toriel closes her eyes, lays against Asgore and sighs happily.

"It is." she said.

"Wanna go play with our brother?" Frisk asked.

"Guess we're Luna's parents." Asgore chuckled. "Since Frisk thinks of Luna as her sister, that would make her our 'daughter'." he said, making quotations with his hooves. Luna smiles and nods. Toriel giggles at the thought. Frisk smiles and trots over to Asriel and tackles him again.

"Hi, big brother!!" She yells, causing them to hit the sand. Asgore smirks.

"Watch." He smirked. He gets up and merrily canters over to Luna. "Well, hey there, you adorable little filly!" Asgore smiled and hugs Luna.

"How's daddy's little girl doing?" he laughed, giving Luna a noogie.

"Woah, oof!" Asriel said. Luna blushes madly. Frisk giggles and nuzzles Asriel.

"Heh...good joke, huh?" Asgore asked. Luna was still blushing.

"Y-Yeah." She stutters. Asriel laughs slightly while smiling.

"Awe, Frisk, really?" He said. Frisk nodded and continue to nuzzle him. Asgore chuckled and lets Luna go, kissing her head first.

"Thanks for being there for our daughter. She really loves you, Luna." He said. Luna smiles and nods again, but the blush is still there.

"I couldn't let her be sad, even if she is a changeling. I also feel happy when I'm around her and her family." She said. Toriel laughs a little at the scene. Asriel looks over at Toriel.

"Moooom, help me." He said. Frisk giggles and lays on top of Asriel. Asgore smiles.

"We couldn't possibly thank you enough. You're a big part of her life. Being a princess of this nation and letting her call you her sister means a lot when most other ponies don't take a liking to her." he said. Asriel smiles at her. Luna sighs.

"If they could only see that she isn't a bad changeling, but they do." She said. Frisk curls up on top of him.

"It's sad...she's such a good filly...why would anypony hate her?" Asgore sits down by Luna. Asriel runs a hoof through Frisk's mane lightly.

'It was because of a changeling attack that happened three years ago." Luna said. Frisk starts to fall asleep. Asriel lays his head back and letys out a happy sigh. Asgore looks at frisk.

"An attack?" He asked. Luna nods.

"Yes. It was during Shining Armors wedding." She said.

"Ouch..." Asgore said. Luna sighs and nods.

"Yea." She said. Asriel closes his eyes and sighs happily.

"I'm glad to call her my daughter." Asgore said. Frisk nuzzles her cheek into Asriel's neck.

"She is a wonderful daughter for your family." Luna said.

"We love her very much." Asgore said. Luna notices that it was almost time to wake up.

"It's about time for all of you to wake up now. My sister is about to raise the sun and she will want me to move the moon." She said.

"Alright." Asgore said, hugging her one last time. "Thanks again...for everything." he said.

"It's my pleasure." She said, just as everything went to white. Frisk woke up on Luna's be and moped.

"Awe, I wasn't done cuddling yet!" She whined. Luna runs a hoof through Frisk's mane.

"I know Frisk, but I have to go and lower the moon." She said.

"Can we cuddle when you're done?" Frisk asked. Luna smiles at her.

"Sure. And I'll also get us some breakfast too, how does that sound?" She asked. Frisk smiles wide.

"Perfect!" She said happily. Luna nods and gets up.

"I'll be right back." She said.

"Wait! Can I come watch you?" Frisk asked holding onto Luna's back leg. Luna warmly smiles at her.

"Sure." She said.

"Yay!" Frisk said happily as she hops onto Luna's back. Luna walks towards her balcony with a smile. She opens the door and the beautiful night sky was showing. Frisk smiles at the sight.

"It's so pretty!" She said happily.

"Thank you." Luna said. "Now, watch." She said as her horn glows. The moon dipped over the horizon just as the sun raised over the horizon, shining over the land with its golden glow. Frisk's eyes open wide.

"Wow! But...I'm sad your moon is gone...I like night time." She said. Luna's eyes widen at that statement.

"W-wait, y-you like my night?" She said. Frisk nods.

"I watch the moon go up every night! It's...such a great pleasure...to be your sister, Luna...I love you so much." She said. Frisk lets out a small sniffle, hugging Luna from around the back of her neck.

"Now I can be with you when you raise it. It means a lot to me..." She said happily. Luna smiles as a tear falls from her face, nuzzling Frisk.

"It's my pleasure, little sister." She said. Frisk smiles and nuzzles Luna's mane.

"Come, let's get some breakfast." Luna said. Frisk nods.

"Okay, sister!" She said. Luna smiles and walks out of the room with a little pep in her step. Frisk trots merrily along with her. Luna walks through the garden, looking at the beautiful flowers as she walked. Frisk stays close to Luna.

"Sis?" She asked. Luna looks down at her.

"Yes?" She asked. The changeling filly lowered her head.

"Why do you like me?" She asked. Luna stops and kneels down to her with a warm smile.

"Frisk, your mother, Toriel, has been very kind to me, a kindness that nopony has ever given me since I returned from my incident, for three years, ponies were afraid of me, even now I can still hear them call me Nightmare moon behind my back. And when I saw her again and saw you with her and her family. I saw that all of you were happy. And when I heard my sister say that she was going to teleport you back to Chrysalis," She said with a shiver.

"I decided to help Toriel. This is why I like you, even if you calling me big sister is a big surprise to me." She said.

"But...what about ME is it you like? I'm just a changeling..." Frisk sniffed.

"Frisk, do you really think that just because your a changeling, that changes everything? No, I know that your a sweet Filly, one that needs love, one that needs a great family. And you do. Toriel and her family have been great taking care of you, haven't they?" Luna asked. Frisk looks down.

"They have..." She sniffed.

"Then why worry, they have been there for you, so I will too. They've shown me kindness, I'll show it back to them." Luna said. A tear slips form Frisk's eye. Luna pulls Frisk into a hug.

"It's okay, big sister is here." She whispered.

"Thank you. Frisk whispered, smiling softly.

"It's my pleasure, little sister." Luna said, smiling back. Frisk nuzzles Luna.

:Let's go eat. I'm hungry! So hungry I...I could eat a MOON!!" She yells. Luna laughs a little at the joke.

"All right, lets go." She said. Frisk flutters over Luna's head and comes to lay on top of her mane. She hugs one of Luna's ears. Luna's other ear flicks as she looks up at her as they neared the dinning room. Frisk giggled, nuzzling the ear. Luna opens the doors and sees Celestia, Toriel and her family sitting at a table filled with food. Frisk jumps from Luna's head and floats over to the chair by Asriel.

"Hi big brother!" She said happily. Asriel smiles at Frisk and pulls her into a hug.

"Hi little sister!" He said. Toriel smiles warmly at the scene, before yawning. Frisk giggles and returns the gesture.

"I got to be with my sister while she lowered the moon!" She said. Asriel's eyes widen a little.

"Really now?" He asked. Luna sits in a chair right next to Celestia with a cheery look. Frisk nods happily.

"She's the best big sister ever!" She said. At those words, Luna's smile widens.

"Aww, that's so cute." Toriel said.

"Well I guess that makes me their little brother than." Asriel pointed out.

"Well...instead of sitting here, why don't we all eat?!" Frisk said happily.

"That sounds like a good idea." Celestia said. Toriel, Asriel, and Luna all nod and began loading up their plates with food. Frisk was unsure of what to do. Luna notices Frisk not knowing what to do and lifts a pair of pancakes onto her plate.

"Here you go, Frisk." She said with a smile. Frisk smiles.

"Thanks, big sis!" She said. Luna smiles as she eats the food on her plate.

"How do I eat them?" Frisk stares confused at the round discs of dough before her.

"Oh! You spread some butter on it and pour some syrup on them." Luna said, doing so to Frisk's pancakes. "Try them like that." she said.

"But HOW do I eat it? Do I roll it up...or..." Frisk said, confused.

"You eat them normally." Luna said, cutting a slice of pancake and eating it.

"How is normally?' Frisk watches Luna. "Like that?" she asked. Luna nods.

"Pretty much." She said. Frisk looks down at the fork next to her plate, and with her magic she cuts off a small pie of the pancake.

"Is it spicy? I had something spicy at Twilights...I didn't like it..." She said. Luna chuckles and shakes her head.

"No, its not spicy." She chuckles.

"Okay." Frisk said, sounding unsure. Frisk raises the fork to her mouth hesitantly and takes the bite, chewing slowly.

"It'll be alright, Frisk." Luna said. Frisk swallows the pancake that she has in her mouth and smiles.

"Could I get a wee bit more butter, sister?" She asked. Celestia giggled slightly. Luna nods and does what Frisk asked.

"That enough?" She asked. Frisk nods.

"Thanks!" She said happily. Luna smiles and nods. She looks over at Celestia and her smile fades.

"Sister." She said with a emotionless tone. Toriel notices that as Frisk ate, her chitin's color starting to look much better than it did before.

"Yes, Luna?" Celestia asked.

"Don't do it. Don't send her back." Luna said.

"Let's not talk about this during breakfast, Luna." Celestia said.

"No, we will talk about this right now." Luna said.

"Sister, please. This is a private matter, anyway. Just eat." Celestia sighs heavily and finished her salad.

"Fine. But you and I are going to have a long talk." Luna said.

"Fine." Celestia said. Toriel nods off before yawning. Frisk nuzzles Asriel. Asriel smiles at her. Frisk continues to eat. Luna smiles down at Frisk and continues to eat as well.

"Celestia, we have made a decision on what to do with Frisk." Toriel said.

"What would that be?" Celestia asked.

"Yeah? What mommy?" Frisk asked.

"We have decided... to keep Frisk and take care of her." Toriel said. Celestia stays silent for a second.

"That's...nice." She said emotionless. Frisk hugs Asriel.

"You don't sound happy sister. Their doing what's right for Frisk." Luna pointed out. Asriel hugs Frisk back. Toriel smiles as she looks at Asgore, who also has a smile on his face.

"Even though it's only been a few days we've had her, we love her as if she were our own." Asgore said. Frisk smiles.

"I love you, Asriel. My big brother." She said happily. Asriel gives Frisk a small noogie.

"I love you too, little sister." He said. Frisk nuzzles Asriel. Luna smiles at the sight. Celestia eats in silence. Frisk teleports over to Luna and hops into her lap.

"Hi big sister!!" She said happily. Luna looks looks down at Frisk with a smile.

"Hello, little sister." She said happily. Frisk giggles, nuzzling Luna's cheek. Luna smiles widely and places Frisk on top of her head. The changeling squeed happily.

"I'm big!!" She yelled.

"That you are!" Luna said.

"Aww, they're so happy together." Toriel cooed. Frisk nibbles on one of Luna's ears. Luna's other ear twitches as she laughs slightly. There was a knock at the door. Luna looks over with confusion.

"Huh? Who would that be?" She asked.

"I'll see." Celestia said. She gets up and walks over to the door. Luna nods slightly, being careful of Frisk and looks up at her. Celestia opens the door and her eyes widen.

"CHRYSALIS!!!!" She yelled. Luna quickly looks in her direction.

"WHAT!?" She yells. Chrysalis's ears flatten from the volume of Celestia's voice.

"Please... not so loud... I'm... I'm not here to fight." She said, fear was clearly in her voice.

"Please...I know you'll fail again...but fail some other time. I'm not in the mood to battle you." Celestia closes the door and walks back to the table. Chrysalis teleports inside.

"Please... I... I just want to talk." She said.

"What." Celestia said emotionless. Chrysalis rubs her hoof.

"I... I've been thinking about... about what that pony said." She said, pointing at Toriel. "And I've decided, I need your help." She mumbles.

"You what now?" Celestia asked.

"I... need your help..." Chrysalis said, slightly louder. Celestia sighs.

"The one chance I have to enjoy breakfast in peace..." She mutters to herself, then looking back at Chrysalis. "Help with what?" She asked. Chrysalis falls to her knees.

"Please, you got to help my subjects! We're so few left. We used to be in the thousands, now only in the hundreds. I wasn't going to come here, but that ponies words," She said, pointing a hoof at Toriel.

"Hit me to the core, So please! I'll take any punishment for what I did, but please, help my subjects!" She yells as tears form in her eyes. Toriel gasps in shock. Celestia is speechless. Toriel gets up from her chair and walks towards Chrysalis. Chrysalis is on the floor, staring up at Celestia with pleading eyes.

"Please..." She said.

"You didn't need help when you shot me down at that wedding." Celestia deadpaned.

"Please, I did it for my subjects, who were starving, would you've done the same thing if your ponies were starving? Please, I'll take any punishment for what I did, but please, save my subjects." Chrysalis pleaded.

"Sure. I'll "help" your subjects." Celestia made quotations with her hooves. "But if you try anything funny, it's back to the badlands with you." She warned. Chrysalis has a small smile, one that is happy, but she can tell that Celestia is up to something, one that won't end well. Toriel has an idea.

"Celestia, wait." She said.

"What is it?" Celestia asked.

"Why don't we take care of Chrysalis?" Toriel said.

"WHAT!?" Both Celestia and Luna yell. Chrysalis stares at Toriel with wide eyes. There was a glint of hope in them.

"Think about it, if we take care of Chrysalis, we can keep an eye on her, and if she tries something funny, we can report it to you." Toriel said.

"Have fun getting away first. No way I'm letting HER stick around. No thank you." Celestia said, crossing her forelegs.

"Then why are you letting me stay?" Frisk countered.

"Ugh!" Celestia groaned. "You guys can deal with this. I need an haybuprofen." She said. Celestia gets up from the table and leaves. Chrysalis looks over at Celestia, then back at Toriel.

"Wh...Why?" She asked.

"Well, just like with Frisk here, I can't leave someone who's in need of help." Toriel said. She then stares at Chrysalis with a mean look, her mane flowing like fire.

"And Chrysalis, don't you even dare think of taking Frisk away from us." She warned.

"Whatever it takes..." Chrysalis said nervously. Toriel has a bright smile as her mane returns to normal.

"Good!" She said happily.

"Celestia didn't seem too pleased with me being here..." Chrysalis mumbles.

"Well, what did you do to let her be like this?" Toriel asked.

"She just seems upset for some reason..." Frisk said. Luna doesn't say anything. Frisk teleports back over to Asriel and climbs into his lap.

"Hold me, big brother?" She asked, nuzzling him. Asriel smiles down at her and hugs her. Toriel pulls Chrysalis into a hug.

"My subjects need me..." Chrysalis sniffed.

"Is there anything we can help with?" Toriel asked.

"I need love for my changelings..." Chrysalis said.

"I wish there was something we could do to distribute the love." Toriel said.

"I can do that...I just need the love to do it with." Chrysalis said.

"But, how do you get the love?" Toriel asked.

"Any thing friendly...even a simple hug will give me love." Chrysalis said.

"Well then, here you go." Toriel said, hugging Chrysalis. Chrysalis hugs back tightly.

"Thank you..." She said. Frisk giggles and nuzzles Asriel.

"You're the best big brother ever!" She said. Toriel notices that some coloration of Chrysalis's chitin is returning back to normal. She continues to hug her.

"Anything for my little sister." Asriel said.

"I can't tell you how thankful I am, Toriel." Chrysalis said as she was enjoying the hug.

"Thanks." Frisk said happily.

"Please, you may have done something you regretted, but that still doesn't mean that you can't get help." Toriel said. Asriel smiles. Chrysalis pulls away.

"If you knew you wouldn't want to even look at me..." She said. Frisk waves to Luna.

"Please, it can't be as bad as to what my husband did." Toriel said. Luna waves at Frisk with a smile. Frisk holds her little hooves out to Luna.

"I doubt it..." Chrysalis said.

"Oh? What did you do?" Toriel asked. Luna gets up and walks to Frisk. She picks Frisk up. Frisk nuzzles Luna's chest and yawns.

"Something I don't want to talk about..." Chrysalis shudders.

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you." Toriel said. Luna sits down and holds Frisk close. Frisk gently nuzzles Luna's neck.

"Do... Do you want to stay with us?" Toriel asked. Luna warmly smiles at Frisk.

"I...I can't." Chrysalis said. Frisk yawns deeply and rolls onto her side, facing Luna as she lay in her forelegs.

"Can I sleep with you tonight, sis?" She asked. Luna nods.

"Sure." She said.

"Why? I mean, yea your a changeling, but that's no reason why you can't stay with us. I know you may have done something bad, but you can make it up." Toriel said.

"I can't stay. I must return to my subjects..." Chrysalis said as she moved over to the window, pushing it open.

"Thanks." Frisk said happily. Toriel raises some hoof.

"Wait, why don't we come with you." She said. Luna lays down. Frisk yawns.

"The badlands is full of danger and not safe for anypony." Chrysalis said. Toriel laughs.

"Try living underground. Full of monsters, like walking volcanoes, skeletons, and giant spiders." She said. Luna stands up, holding frisk close and looks at Asgore.

"I'm gonna take care of Frisk if that's alright?" She asked. Asgore nods.

"Go ahead, she's your sister after all." he said, smiling.

"I love you, big sister," Frisk said as she yawns. Luna nuzzles Frisk.

"I love you too, little sister." She said.

'Toriel...I don't belong here just as much as you don't belong where I come from. I'll stop by every now and again...to hopefully get what I need for my changelings." Chrysalis sighed. "M-may I have another hug before I go?" She asked. Toriel nods and smiles.

"Sure." She said, hugging Chrysalis again.

"Thank you, Toriel..." Chrysalis said, returning the hug.

"An early morning nap isn't too much trouble, right?" Frisk asked. Luna shakes her head.

"Not at all." She said. Toriel smiles at Chrysalis.

"Anything for a friend." She said.

"Okay." Frisk said happily as she was carried to Luna's room.

"I...guess I could stay for a bit..." Chrysalis said, smiling at Toriel. Toriel smiles.

"You know Chrysalis, I was a queen too." She said.

"You were? I've never heard of you...you are an alicorn..." Chrysalis said as she hesitantly pulls away from the hug, the feeling of being fed love faded. Toriel rubs the back of her neck.

"Well, I lived underground." She said.

"Why if you're a queen?" Chrysalis asked, tilting her head.

"Well, me, my husband, and our son, aren't... exactly from around here." Toriel said.

"Go on." Chrysalis said as she took a seat, listening closely to her new friend.

"Well, we're from a mountain called Mt. Emit." Toriel said.

"I've never heard of it." Chrysalis said. Frisk jumps from Luna's arms and flutters over to the bed and crawls under the covers.

"Come cuddle me, sis!" Frisk smiled, holding her forehooves out to Luna.

"Well, we're not exactly, from this world." Toriel said. Luna lays down next to Frisk.

"How is that? You're a pony, aren't you?" Chrysalis asked. Frisk yawns, snuggling into Luna's chest, smiling as she closes her droopy eyes.

"Goodnight, Luna. I love you so much..." She yawned. Luna warmly smiles.

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

"Well, I... wasn't a pony before." Toriel said.

"Is that so?" Chrysalis leaned back in her chair, taking a brownie from one of the dessert displays on the table and takes a small bite. Toriel takes a sip of tea from a cup that's in front of her and nods.

"Yea. Me and Asgore were king and queen for a while, before some stuff happened and we spit up. For a thousand years we were apart." Toriel said.

"Really? Huh. Guess the thousand year thing doesn't exist just here in Equestria. Luna was an evil being named Nightmare Moon for a thousand years, there's this lord of chaos who was turned to stone for a thousand years, and this King Sombra who was defeated and his empire disappeared, like himself for a thousand years." Chrysalis said. Toriel giggles slightly.

"We were king and queen of monsters." She said.

"Interesting." Chrysalis said. Toriel nods. Frisk's breathing slowly dies down and she begins to snore as she falls asleep. Luna curls around Frisk and closes her eyes. Frisk smiles in her sleep.

"I'm leader to a hive, home to thousands of changelings I have to feed. We consume love, but it's hard to get love when all of Equestria hates our species. Good thing we have our shape shifting abilities. If not for that we wouldn't even exist." Chrysalis said.

"Well, while I was queen, we had to make sure that all the monsters were happy. So I guess you could say that we do share something similar." Toriel said.

"I guess so." Chrysalis sighs and lowers her head. Toriel looks at Chrysalis with worry.

"Need another hug?" She asked.

"No, it's just...the things I've done...to do what needs to be done...for the betterment of my kind. They rely on me to feed them, and some of the things I've done to do so...I regret badly..." Chrysalis sniffed.

"I'm sure that you and your hive will make it through." Toriel said as she places a hoof on her shoulder. Chrysalis stares down at her hooves. Toriel opens her eyes and notices that there's a tear falling from Chrysalis's face. She is confused and worried.

"Chrysalis?" She asked.

"It's...really nice to have a friend for a change..." Chrysalis sniffed. Chrysalis lightly sobbed into Toriel's shoulder, hugging her. Toriel is surprised, then hugs her back.

"Thank you..." Chrysalis sniffed.

"Anything for a friend." Toriel said. Chrysalis pulls away with a smile as she wipes her eyes.

"Thank you..." She said again. Toriel nods.

"I better get back to my hive." Chrysalis said. Toriel nods for a second time.

"Take care." She said happily. Chrysalis smiles and nods. Her horn glows and she disappears. Asgore walks up to Toriel with a smile.

"That's my sweetie." He said, wrapping a hoof around her. Toriel blushes slightly.

"Please, I couldn't let anyone, including her, go through stuff like that." She said.

"And that's why I love you." Asgore said.

"I love you too." Toriel said happily.

Chapter 10: A talk with Celestia

View Online

Toriel leans against Asgore, a warm smile was across her face.

"Do you think we should go and check on Celestia? she didn't look to happy." She asked.

"Yeah, we should." Asgore said, nodding, nuzzling Toriel. Toriel nuzzles Asgore one last time, then heads off in the direction that Celestia went.

"Hey, I wasn't done nuzzling!!" he laughed, trotting up along side Toriel and leaves a soft kiss on her cheek. Toriel blushes and knocks on the door that Celestia went through. Celestia groans and goes over to the door and opens it.

"Oh...hello, Toriel..." Celestia said, not sounding like her cheery self.

"May we come in?" Toriel asked.

"Sure." Celestia said, moving aside. Toriel has a smile and walks in alongside Asgore.

"Thank you." She said.

"What is it that you wanted?" Celestia asked, trying to sound calm. Toriel looks at her.

"Well, there is one question I want to ask, why do you hate Chrysalis?" She asked.

"I don't hate Chrysalis. I hate what she does." Celestia said. Toriel is confused.

"What does she do?" She asked.

"Well, three years back, she made an attack during Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's wedding. She locked Cadence away in the crystal caves and played as Cadence." Celestia said.

"Ugh...what a horrid thing to do!" Asgore said in anger. Toriel gasps in shock and her eyes widen.

"But, she seemed so kind." She said.

"You're new here. She's just trying to get on your good side so you can feed her so she can keep her hive going, and she'll attack again when she feels fit enough to do so. Don't trust her." Celestia warned. Toriel rubs the back of her neck.

"Well... She already fed off of me. But she told me that her hive was dying, that their are only hundreds of changelings in her hive left." She chuckles nervously.

"I honestly wish she wasn't so evil, then I'd openly feed her knowing she won't use my hospitality against me." Celestia said. Toriel begins to worry.

"I can see you worry, but don't. One feed won't give her enough power." Celestia said. Toriel relaxes slightly and sits.

"I'm... I'm so sorry, I didn't know." She said. Asgore sets a hoof on Toriel's shoulder.

"Is she gone?" Celestia asked. Toriel nods.

"She left to go back to her hive." She said. Celestia looks out the nearby window.

"Good. Let us hope she doesn't return." She said.

"Isn't that going just a little too far?" Toriel asked. Celestia turns back with a sigh.

"Toriel...nothing good comes of her presence. We've had many fights, all of which she's failed luckily." She said. Toriel looks away.

"I... I find that hard to believe." She said.

"Believe what you want, Toriel. The truth of it will prevail." Celestia said.

"No." Toriel said immediately.

"Why not?" Celestia asked.

"Chrysalis was nice to me, she even pleaded with you to help, would any bad pony do that? No. And what did you do, you gave her sarcasm. " Toriel said.

"After years of having to deal with changelings, it's hard to believe a sudden and abrupt apology, Toriel. You don't understand these creatures. You have Frisk, yes, but she's different." Celestia said. Tears start to from on Toriel's face.

"And why not Chrysalis! Why can't see change!? She came to you and pleaded for you to help her, even said that she would take any punishment for what she has done. But no, you just walked away. Why!?" She screamed.

"Because some ponies just don't change!" Celestia snapped. Toriel stares at her for a few second, then runs out of the room, tears falling from her face.

"Heh...sorry...I should...go with her..." Asgore said nervously. Asgore turns and chases after her.

"Toriel!" He yells. Toriel doesn't hear him. Her horn glows and she disappears. Asgore stops, a hoof pointing at where Toriel was.

"Toriel..." he said quietly. Toriel reappears right next to the mirror portal. She doesn't notice Twilight looking through a book as she went through, her eye clouded with tears. Twilight quickly sees her.

"Toriel?" Twilight sets down the book and follows her. Toriel appears on the other side, no one noticing her appear. She is breathtaking heavily. She sits on the base of the mirror and cries into her hands. Twilight appears next and sits down next to her.

"Toriel..." She whispered. She hugs the former queen lightly, avoiding sitting on her tail. Toriel leans against Twilight slightly. Her crying has slowed, but the tears have not.

"What's wrong, Toriel?" Twilight asked. The sound of a loud vehicle neared and Twilight turned her head.

"Looks like skids are arriving for school..." She said. Toriel wipes her eye and looks at Twilight.

"Thank you, Twilight." She sniffed, just as she sees Principal Celestia.

"Anything for a friend." Twilight said happily, smiling.

"Twilight? Toriel? What's going on?" Principal Celestia asked as she approached. Toriel tries to speak to Principal Celestia, but couldn't. She looks away. Principle Celestia kneels down, placing a hand on Toriel's shoulder.

"Deep breaths, Toriel." She said. Toriel does what Principal Celestia said and takes deep breaths.

"What's wrong, Toriel?" Principal Celestia asked. Toriel begins to explain what happened before she came here.

"Aww, I'm so sorry, Toriel..." Principal Celestia said.

"Chrysalis seemed so nice, like she wouldn't hurt anyone. But Celestia just turned and walked away from her." Toriel said.

"Oh...seems like my equine counterpart is a bit more stern than I am. If it's any consolation, Chrysalis's human counterpart goes here. She's a sweet kid, maybe you could be friends with her?" Principal Celestia asked.

"What...I've never seen HER counterpart here..." Twilight said in surprise.

"She just transferred here recently." Principle Celestia said, smiling at Twilight. Toriel ears perk up and she looks at Celestia with interest.

"Really?" She asked. Celestia nods.

"But this one doesn't know who you are." She said. As students walk by, a number of them wave to Toriel. Toriel waves back at the students and stands up. She is still slightly not used to being taller than everyone else.

"I would like to meet her." She said.

"Maybe you'll get lucky enough to see her." Celestia said, smiling.

"Toriel...if it's okay...I need to get back to my world now." Twilight said. Toriel looks at Twilight and nods.

"If Asgore asks where I am, tell him I'm here." She said.

"Alright." Twilight said. With a wave and a smile she walks back through the portal.

"So, what are you planning on doing now?" Celestia asked. Toriel sighs.

"I... I think I will stay here until I'm ready to head back." She said.

"Well, while you're here, could you fill in for the same teacher as last time? They're still not doing well. I think your students would like to see you again." Celestia said, smiling. "A lot of the kids here are curious of you, Toriel. It's not often they get somebody from another planet as a sub. You've become quite the hot topic." she said. Toriel is surprised.

"Really?" she said.

"Yes, actually. So, would you like to sub again?" Celestia asked. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Sure." She said.

"Great! We've got an hour till first period. Maybe we can walk around as we chat?" Celestia asked.

"Sure!" Toriel said happily, just as she sees Sunset Shimmer.

"Oh! Hello, Sunset!" She said. Sunset Shimmer turns and sees Toriel.

"Good morning, Miss. Toriel!" She said. She waved hello and continues walking.

"Let us walk." Celestia said. She smiled as she began walking. Toriel nods and follows. Toriel was going to say something, when her stomach growled. She laughs nervously.

"And I just ate too. But I could go for some more." She said.

"Let's head to the cafeteria for a quick bite then, shall we?" Celestia asked. Toriel nods in agreement.

"TORIEL!!" Came three excited, high pitched voices as she suddenly found her legs being hugged by Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom.

"Girls!." Toriel said happily, hugging back.

"Are you subbing again for us?!" Applebloom asked. The three gazed up at her with large, pleading eyes. Toriel nods.

"I am." She said.

"YAY!!" They all cheered.

"Girls! I think Miss, Toriel would like a little space!" Celestia chuckled. Toriel flinches from the volume. The girls continue hugging for a few seconds more before releasing her. Toriel smiles down at them.

"These kids love you, Toriel." Celestia said, laughing slightly.

"What can I say, I have a way with kids." Toriel said, shrugging.

"Maybe they won't mind tagging along with us to the cafeteria?" Celestia asked. The three girls look up at her with pleading eyes.

"Pleeaaassee?!" They pleaded. Toriel warmly smiles at them.

"Ohhh, fine. I can't say no to you three." She said.

"Yay!" The tree cheer again. Toriel smiles happily at the three.

"You three are always energetic." She said.

"They're kids, what did you expect?" Celestia said. Toriel chuckles slightly, smiling.

"That is true." She said. The girls giggled slightly.

"Well, let's go!" Scootaloo said. Toriel nods and walks towards the building.

"Mom!" A familiar young voice yelled, causing her to stop.

"Who's that?" Celestia asked. Toriel turns around and her eyes widen. She sees Asgore and Asriel.

"A...Asgore!? A...Asriel!?" She asked.

"What? Twilight told us you were here." Asgore said. He walks up to her and hugs her. Asriel joins in the hug. Toriel has a wide smile as she hugs back. The smile turns sad as she hugs tighter.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have disappeared like that." She sniffed.

"It's okay, Toriel. Let's hope Chrysalis DOES come back. Maybe we can prove Celestia wrong. I...I changed...right?" Asgore asked. Toriel nods and leans her head against Asgore. Asriel walks up to Principle Celestia. Asgore smiles and scratches lightly behind one of her ears.

"Notice I'm not wearing my armor?" he asked. Principal Celestia kneels down with a smile.

"What's your name?" She asked. Toriel sighs happily.

"You look much better without it." She said. Asriel has a smile.

"I'm Asriel!" He said.

"Thanks." Asgore said, leaning his head on Toriel as well. "I think I'm liking being a pony. It's different. Well...when I'm in the other Equestria." He said.

"What a cute name!" Principle Celestia said. Toriel closes her eyes with a smile. Asriel notices that the other people were taking pictures with cameras and phones.

"Wanna go back to our new home?" Asgore asked.

"Don't worry about them, okay? May I have a hug? You just look so adorable!" Celestia squeed.

"Principle Celestia asked if I could sub, and I agreed." Toriel said. Asriel rolls his eyes.

"Well, all right." She said.

"Alright." Asgore said. He smiles and kisses her forehead.

"I love you." He said as he places a hand on her cheek. Celestia smiles and pulls him into a gentle hug. Toriel looks at him with a smile.

"I love you too." She said. Asriel smiles and hugs back.

"You should get going then, okay?" Asgore said.

"Cutie." Celestia smiles and stands back up. Toriel has and idea.

"Well, why don't you stay here with me?" She asked. Asriel is still getting hugged by Celestia.

"Can't. I gotta take Frisk and Asriel to school in a little bit." Asgore said. Toriel nods in understanding. Celestia Holds Asriel in her arms, carrying him back over to Asgore and Toriel. Asriel looks around. Asgore hugs her tighter.

"I love you so much." He said.

"I love you so much too." Toriel said. Celestia smiles at Asriel as she's carrying him.

"Guess you should go with your father?" She asked. Asriel nods.

"I'm sorry...for...all of my past mistakes...I never thought you'd take me back..." Asgore sniffed. Toriel looks at him slightly sternly.

"Asgore Dremmur! I told you to stop looking into the past, okay? look into the future, I mean look at us, we have our family back. Even Frisk!" She said.

"Shall I put you down, then?" Celestia asked.

"If you want, they seem to be talking." Asriel said.

"But she's not the Frisk you knew! She's alone now! None of this would have happened if I wasn't so...stupid." Asgore sits and puts his face in his hands and sighs heavily. Toriel sits next to him and places a hand on his shoulder.

"I see." Celestia said as she rubs gently behind his ear, causing Asriel to relax.

"You should be hating me...I even...tried to kill her...she was like your daughter. Your first. A chance to be a mother again after...Asriel...changed...we became such a mess all because of me..." he sniffed.

"I'm sorry...I just...don't feel like I deserve such a wonderful person like you." He said, looking down. Toriel gasps.

"Asgore!" she yells. Asgore lowers his head in shame. Toriel pulls him into a hug. Asgore holds her tight.

"I'm so sorry..." He sniffed. Celestia sets Asriel down. Asriel runs towards Asgore and Toriel. Asgore smiles and pulls Asriel into the hug.

"Hey, buddy." He said.

"It's okay dad, you have us!" Asriel said. Toriel hugs them both.

"Thanks guys...I love you so much." Asgore said happily.

"And we love you too." Toriel said.

"You guys mean so much to me..." Asgore said.

"And you to me." Toriel said.

"You should go no, honey. Wouldn't want the teacher to be late for class." Asgore said. Toriel smiles and nods.

"And you have fun as well." She said.

"Come on, Asriel." Asgore said. He smiles and picks him up. Asriel smiles and nods.

"Say goodbye to mommy!" Asgore said. Asriel waves goodbye.

"Have fun at work mom!" Asriel said. Toriel nods.

"Bye honey!" Asgore holds Asriel close as he walks back through the portal. Toriel has a wide smile and waves as they left.

"We should be getting you and Frisk to school now, huh?" Asgore said. Asriel nods.

"Yep! I don't want to be late for school." he said.

"Luna took Frisk already." Twilight said. Toriel turns towards Celestia.

"I feel a little bit better." She said.

"Then let's go!" The former king of the underground smiled and trotted out of the room. Asriel nods and follows.

"That's good!" Celestia said happily. Toriel nods. Asgore soon arrives at the school, Frisk was waiting.

"Hey, Frisk!" Asriel yells.

"Let us go now." Celestia said. Toriel nods. Principal Celestia smiles and goes into the school with Toriel. Toriel smiles as she looks around.

"Hi brother!!" Frisk yells happily. Asriel pulls Frisk into a small hug. Frisk hugs back happily, nuzzling his chest. Asriel smiles down at her.

"So, what have you planned for after school?" Celestia asked.

"I'll probably head back home, and... apologies to Celestia." Toriel said. Frisk smiles up at him.

"Sounds like a plan." Celestia said. Toriel nods.

"Now, lets not be late for school." Asriel said.

"We're already here, silly filly!" Frisk giggled, tightening her hug. Asriel hugs back tight, but not too tight. Toriel walks around with a smile on her face. Principal Celestia leads Toriel to the cafeteria.

"Let's go now, okay?" Frisk asked. Asriel nods and places Frisk on top of his back. Toriel waves hello to the students, who waves back. Frisk giggles.

"My students have taken quite a liking to you, Toriel." Celestia said. Toriel looks at her.

"Yea? What are they saying?" She asked. Asriel walks towards the school.

"Well, mostly curiosity since a majority of the students haven't seen you yet, but seem rather excited with you teaching here, being from another world and all." Celestia said. Toriel is quite surprised.

"Really?" She asked. Celestia nods. Toriel is thinking as she walks. Celestia arrives at the food counter and grabs a tray for Toriel and herself.

"Oh, I was going to grab one, you didn't have to grab one for me." Toriel said. Celestia hands one to Toriel.

"It's quite alright." she smiles. Toriel takes it.

"Um, alright." She said.

"I hope my students aren't too much for you or anything." Celestia said. Toriel shakes her head.

"Oh no, not at all." She said.

"Good! Are they well behaved?" Celestia asked as she grabbed an apple, a breakfast burrito and a carton of fat free white milk. Toriel nods.

"They are, though I wish some of them would focus on their work instead on their devices." She said.

"Don't get too worked up. Try as hard as you want, they'll do it no matter what." Celestia said. Toriel nods.

"Alright." She said.

"Give them a day less to finish their homework. When they fail to do it, they'll realize their F needs to change. As harsh as it sounds, it works on a great deal of the students." Celestia said as she led Toriel to a table. Toriel sighs in agreement.

"I know, it's just, I still new to this." She said.

"I know, I know, which is why I'm here to help!" Celestia smiles, placing a hand on Toriel's shoulder.

"I know you can do this." She said. Toriel smiles at her.

"Thank you." She said.

"No problem!" Celestia said happily. Toriel sits down at a empty table with Celestia.

"So, what else shall we talk about?" Celestia asked. Principle Celestia clasped her hands together under her chin, her elbows propped up on the edge of the table. Toriel thinks for a bit.

"Hmm." She said.

"Tell me some about your world. Im just as curious as my students are, if not more, Miss. Toriel." Celestia said.

"Well..." Toriel began. She then tells Principal Celestia about her world. Her marriage with Asgore, bearing Asriel, the day when Chara came by and became another family member, the day of the accident, the tragedy of Asriel going to the village and coming back only to die, causing her to tear up, the breakup and living alone in misery for years for a thousand years until frisk came back, watching her leave and finding a tiara with a note, leading up to now.

"Guess I shouldn't have asked..." Celestia said. Toriel notices that her story took most of breakfast, she wipes her eyes.

"Oh, I... I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself." She said.

"It's fine, Toriel! Guess we should be going now, huh?" Celestia asked. Toriel wipes her eyes and nods.

"There is one good part." She said.

"What's that?" Celestia asked.

"Me, Asgore, Asriel and Frisk are one big happy family." Toriel said.

"That's great! Your son is just adorable." Celestia said happily. Toriel nods in agreement.

"That he is." She said. Celestia has a sheepish look on her face.

"Yeah...I got a little carried away and ended up spinning around in circles with him..." She chuckles nervously. Toriel giggles slightly.

"At least be had fun." She said.

"I did too. I assume he's well behaved?" Celestia asked. Toriel nods.

"He is." She said.

"That's good! You seem like a good mother." Celestia said. Toriel smiles proudly.

"Thank you." She said. Celestia looks up at the cock on one of the pillars holding up the ceiling.

"We should get going to prepare for first period." She said. Toriel nods.

"Okay." She said. Principal Celestia stood up and smiled at Toriel. Toriel stood up as well.

"It was nice getting to chat with you again, Toriel!" Celestia said.

"It was nice talking with you too, Principal Celestia. After talking about that, it felt like I got some of the weight off my shoulders." Toriel said.

"I'm glad I could help!" Celestia said happily. Toriel smiles, nods, and walks off towards her classroom.

Chapter 11: A big mistake, a new friend, and a major discovery

View Online

The students file into the classroom, taking seats in their assigned desks, save for Applebloom who has latched onto Toriel's leg. Toriel looks down at her with a warm smile.

"Come now little one, you should really get to your seat, class is about to begin." She said. Applebloom shakes her head and hugs tighter.

"Nuh uh!" She said. Toriel laughs slightly at how cute that is.

"Why do you consist on to holding my leg?" She asked.

"Cause you're fluffy!" Applebloom said. Toriel giggles this time.

"Why thank you. I do take good care of my fur." She said. Applebloom giggles a little as well, nuzzling Toriel's leg. Toriel hears the bell ring, causing her to look up at the clock. She then looks back at Applebloom.

"Come now Applebloom, it's time for class." She said. Applebloom grumbles, lowers her head and trudges over to her desk.

"Ah wish ah had fur..." she grumbles. Toriel looks at Applebloom with some worry, but as she what down, she began her lesson. Applebloom sat in her desk, angry at her furless anatomy, deciding against taking notes today. After minutes of giving out problems and equations, she walked around, giving anyone help with the problems if they needed it. She came to a stop at Applebloom's desk and notices that she didn't take any notes, nor started on the work. She noticed that she wasn't happy. She looks at Applebloom with some worry.

"Applebloom, is something wrong?" She asked.

"Wha?" Applebloom asked, looking up at Toriel.

"Oh...Ah'm just..." Applebloom fakes a rather well done yawn. "Tired... Mrs. Toriel..." She said. Toriel raises an eyebrow.

"Are you sure?" She asked. Looking up to her sister, aiming to be just like her, Applebloom found it harder and harder to lie, so she instead didn't answer. Toriel kneels down next to her.

"Is there... something you want to talk about?" She asked.

"Ah wish ah had fur..." Applebloom whispered. One of Toriel's ear twitches as she heard it.

"I wish I could help you there." She said in a hushed voice. "I just don't know how, nor I don't think Principal Celestia would like that. I'm sorry, Applebloom. I wish I could." She sighed.

"Awe, please? Principle Celestiia you don't need to worry about and Applejack is mah sister! She'll understand!" Applebloom pleaded. Toriel shakes her head.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how. My magic is more based around controlling fire." She continues to say in a hushed voice.

"Oh..." Applebloom said sadly, lowering her head in defeat. "Okay..." She sniffed. Toriel places a hand on her shoulder lightly.

"If it will make you happy, you can meet with me anytime." She said.

"Thanks...Miss Toriel..." Applebloom said slightly happily. Toriel gives Applebloom a happy smile.

"Now, do you need help with anything?" She asked.

"I'm okay..." Applebloom said. Toriel nods.

"Okay. Just remember, if you need anything, I'm here." She said.

"You cant give me fur, though..." Applebloom whispers and turns her head away. Toriel sighs and gets up. She walks back to her desk and opens the math book, trying to do some of the problems in her head, but couldn't exactly focus. Applebloom regrets what she said.

Toriel has this slight far away look on her face as she thinks. The children continue to do work. Toriel continues to stare at the book with the same look as she turns the page. Applebloom looks around, a few kids snickering at her, probably having heard her strange request. Toriel's ear flicks, hearing the snickers, causing her to look up.

"Is there a problem?" She asked as she looks around.

"Nothing!" said one of the students. Toriel looks around one last time, then nods.

"Okay." She said, returning to her book. Applebloom looks down. After a while at looking at the book, the bell rings, indicating that it's lunch time. Applebloom tries to blend in and not be noticed, but she could hear names being thrown her way. Toriel notices Applebloom trying to blend into.

"Applebloom, may I speak with you?" She asked.

"Yeah?" Applebloom walks back over to Toriel by the classroom door, staring at the floor. Toriel gets up from the chair.

"Please, have a seat." She said. Applebloom walks over to Toriel's desk and sits in a chair.

"Y-yes?" She asked nervously. Toriel notices the last student walk out of the room. She sighs.

"I'm sorry. I know that you want fur like me, but I don't know how." She said.

"Oh, it's not a big deal...Ah think some of the other kids heard and...you know..." Applebloom said, shrugging. Toriel sighs and sits in her chair.

"I'm sorry... it's just a bit stressful. This is the first time that someone needed my help, and I couldn't do anything." She said.

"Ah'm sorry..." Applebloom said, just as her stomach growled. "Ah...should be headin off ta lunch..." She said. Toriel nods.

"I'm sorry if I took up your time." She sighed. Applebloom smiles softly and leaves the classroom. Toriel rubs her head as a headache forms. She doesn't notice Principal Celestia walk in.

"How are things going?" Celestia asked as she leans against the door frame.

"Slightly stressful." Toriel said.

"Ite school." Celestia chuckles. Toriel sighs a second time.

"I know, I know." She said.

"So what's going on?" Celestia asked. Toriel tells Principal Celestia about Applebloom's request. Celestia is slightly stunned.

"Oh...well then...but I am sorry you cant help her...you seem like the type to help whoever you can when the chance is presented." She said.

"That's the thing, I want to help her, but I know I can't." Toriel said.

"Maybe Twilight could help?" Celestia said.

"I was thinking about that too, but questions popped up in my mind if she did help." Toriel said.

"Like what?" Celestia asked. Toriel describes her questions, from if it did work, then everyone would want it to if it goes wrong and she becomes a pony.

"Hm. Equestrian magic has it's odd sides too?" Celestia asked. Toriel nods slightly.

"Well, Twilight shouldn't have too much trouble with such a simple change...at least I dont think..." Celestia said.

"But if she does do it, wouldn't more people want it?" Toriel asked.

"I heavily doubt it." Celestia said. Toriel sighs.

"Sorry, I just feel really stressed right now." She said.

"Well, it's lunch break and there's a cafe just down the road." Celestia offered. Toriel smiles.

"That sounds lovely." She said.

"Then hurry along!" Celestia said. "You've got little under an hour till next period." She said. Toriel nods and walks towards the door. She looks back at Principal Celestia.

"Thank you." She said.

"No problem!" Celestia said happily. Toriel walks out of the room and towards the front of the school, in a better mood and waving hello to students as she walked. They evaded back, sharing her smile. She walks outside the school and walked down the stairs. As she hits the last step, she accidentally runs into someone.

"Oop, sorry." She apologizes, looking down and seeing that she has run into Sunset Shimmer. "Oh! Hello, Sunset!" She said.

"Oh, hey, Miss Toriel!" Sunset said.

"How's your day going?" Toriel asked.

"Oh, its alright. It's just...school ya know?" Sunset said, shrugging. Toriel laughs slightly and nods.

"I'm doing good, my family is doing great since we're back together." She said.

"That sounds nice!" Sunset said with a smile. Toriel smiles and nods.

"It is! Well, I better go and get lunch before class starts." She said. Sunset nods.

"Nice talking to you again!" She said happily. Toriel gives Sunset a passionate smile.

"Same here, Sunset." She said.

"Tell Twilight I say hi when you go back to Equestria!" Sunset waved and with a smile she went inside the school. Toriel waves back and walks towards towards the cafe that Celestia told her about. As she walked along the sidewalk, she ignores the stares that she is getting. Toriel looks around in amazement, looking at the stores and restaurants. If she was paying attention, she would have noticed that she bumped into someone again.

"Oop, sorry." She apologized for a second time today, this time to a lady wearing a business suit with an upturned nose and a girl wearing a dress and a tiara where in front of her. Toriel immediately recognizes the girl.

"Hey, I know you, you're Diamond tiara." She said.

"Yeah, and my mom has a few words for you!" Diamond tiara said angrily.

"Oh, and how are you if I may ask?" Toriel asked, looking at the lady.

"I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't stick your nose in my daughter's business! She doesn't need lecturing from those lesser than her, especially aliens from an unknown world!" Diamond's mother yells. Toriel raises and eyebrow, then bursts into laughter.

"What is so funny? Ruining my daughter's image?" Diamond's mother asked. Toriel stops laughing and takes a deep breath.

"Okay, listen, Miss um... I never got your name." Toriel said

"Like I'd ever give YOU my name!" The women yelled.

"Yeah!" Diamond said. Toriel is slightly shocked.

"Wow, rude much, there's no need to be spoiled." She said.

"Come on TIara! We're only wasting our time!" The woman said as she grabs Diamond's hand and walks past Toriel. Toriel eye twitches and she places a hand on the women's shoulder as she tries to walk by.

"Look, Miss, there's no need to be rude, it's just that your daughter should try and not take money from other, that's stealing and she could get into deep trouble from the principal. Doesn't that make you a little concerned?" She asked.

"What concerns me is you touching me!" The women yells. She yanks her shoulder away and continues.

"What a horrible mother you are!" Toriel yelled.

"I dont see YOU with any children!" The women yelled as she continues to walk off.

"Not that anybody would want to be with YOU in the first place." She said. Toriel's right eye twitches again as she lowers her head.

"What...did you say?" She asked in a voice that was slightly angry.

"If you didn't hear me especially with those big ears, then I dont know what to tell you." She scoffs. She turns and walks away. Toriel appears right next to the women and Diamond tiara and glares at the women.

"Good day." The women said as she lifts her nose and walks away. Toriel grabs the lady's shoulder quite tightly with her right hand, but doesn't turn to her.

"I have a word with you." She said, her voice is full of anger, her left hand starting to smoke.

"I don't want to hear it." The lady pulls away and keeps walking. Toriel gets even angrier and appears next to the lady again, this time in front.

"Don't make me get the police on you!" The lady warned. Toriel doesn't listen.

"I don't care!" She yelled. "I will never, ever, ever, let you disrespect my family." She said, poking the lady. After she stops her poking, she left a hole where she poked. "You got that!?" She yells.

"Whatever stops you're whining." The lady scoffed. She tries again to walk away. Toriel blocks the lady's path again.

"Apologize." She demanded.

"HOW LONG WILL YOU BE CREEPING UP ON US!? GO AWAY!!" The lady roars.

"NOT UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE ABOUT MY FAMILY!!!" Toriel roars back, her hand bursting into flames.

"I never mentioned your family." The lady said. Toriel sneers at her.

"Yes, you did." She said.

"Look, Miss. TORIEL, if you make my Diamond late for class, there will be hell to pay! She's running on a perfect attendance this year, and I'm not about to let YOU mess it up!" The lady yelled.

"At least I'm not disrespecting other people's family." Toriel said.

"I'm calling the police." The lady said as she takes out her phone. Toriel was about to stop her when she heard a familiar voice. She turns around and her eyes widen as she sees Asgore.

"Asgore?" She asked. With a smile, he pulls Toriel into a tight hug.

"How's it going my wonderful queen?" He asked. Toriel smiles at him.

"I'm doing just good, my wonderful husband. I was just going to a cafe that Celestia told me about, until this woman, that I accidentally bumped into, decided to disrespect me by saying that I didn't deserve anyone, even you." She said.

"Is that so?" Asgore asked. He glares at Spoiled Rich, towering over her. Toriel nods and looks over at the lady, who was shaking, but was trying to keep an air of importance, but was failing.

"Leave my wife alone, you hear!" Asgore yells as he pokes the woman's chest firmly with a stern glare.

"You...you got it!" The lady said, before she and Diamond tiara shakily hurries away. Asgore smiles and holds Toriel's hand.

"Now how about some lunch, my sweet?" He asked. Toriel smiles and nods.

"That sounds lovely." She said. Asgore hugs her for a moment and kisses her head.

"I love you, honey." He said happily.

"I love you too." Toriel said back.

"Let's go then, shall we? Only...you lead the way since I don't know this place..." Asgore chuckles nervously. Toriel nods and walks towards the cafe with Asgore in tow. Asgore smiles, keeping hold of Toriel's hand, firm and lovingly, past thoughts coming back into his head.

"I'm sorry..." He mutters. Toriel's ear twitches.

"You say something Asgore?" She asked.

"No...nothing...so...where is this cafe?" Asgore asked. Toriel looks around and notices a place where there are people sitting around and chatting while they ate.

"That must be it right there." She said.

"I'll be surprised if they even serve us!" He said. Toriel nods as they walked in through the door, quite small bell dinging above them, letting the employees know that a customer has walked in.

"Be prepared for any fainting my love." Asgore said. A middle aged woman of blue color with pink hair came up to the counter. Toriel rolls her eyes and walks up to the counter.

"Let's just...heh...I'm not even sure if acting normal will do anything..." Asgore said nervously.

"How about you pick what you want, and I can order for you, how does that sound?" Toriel offered.

"A decaf black coffee." Asgore ordered. Toriel looks at the delicacies behind a glass. She spots a chocolate cake with a strawberry frosting.

"I'll like a slice of that please, and the same coffee that he is having." She said.

"Coming right up!" The lady at the counter said. Toriel smiles and looks back at Asgore.

"I'm surprised to see you here." She said.

"I'm here because I love you, Toriel...so much..." He pulls her close and hugs her tight. "I cant possibly tell you how much I love you." He said. Toriel hugs him back.

"I know, I love you the same." She said. Asgore smiled, gently scratching Toriel's right ear. Toriel leans against him and gives off a relaxed sigh.

"I know I've said this many times before, but i'm glad that we're back together." She said.

"Me too, Toriel." Asgore said. Asgore keeps her close to him up until their order arrives. Toriel notices that everyone has a happy smile as they look over at them, but she doesn't care. Asgore gives Toriel her cake and coffee.

"Here you are, my queen." He said. Toriel giggles and rolls her eyes lazily as she takes the cake and coffee.

"Asgore, were retired, there's no need for that. And thank you." She said.

"Of course, my queen." He said. Asgore bows, then takes her hand and softly kisses it. Toriel blushes and looks around slightly.

"Asgore please, not here." She said nervously. Asgore frowns

"Does my affection embarrass you?" He asked. Toriel is still blushing.

"A l-little bit in public, yes." She said. Asgore stood up once more from kneeling down and takes his coffee then sits at a table without a word. Toriel walks to the table as well with her cake and coffee in hand. She sits down and looks at Asgore with worry.

"Asgore." She said. Asgore doesn't reply and takes a sip of his coffee.

"I came to spend time with you...not be told I'm an embarrassment...one second you say you're glad we're together then you said that." He said, looking away. "Thanks a lot." He said. Toriel looks down at her cake, having lost her appetite, tears starting to form.

"Asgore, I... I'm sorry." She sniffed. He completely doesn't respond this time, staring into his coffee as a tear fell in. Toriel looks up at him with tear filled eyes.

"A...Asgore, I...I'm sorry for saying that. C...Can you forgive me?" She sniffed. Asgore firmly grips his coffee.

"Kind of hurt right now..." He said. Toriel looks down.

"Do I really embarrass you...?" He asked, still not looking up from his coffee. Toriel shakes her head.

"No, you don't. I'm sorry if I did this to you, my day has been a little stressful today." She said, looking away.

"So has mine..." Asgore said. Toriel looks at him with some surprise.

"What has gotten you so stressful?" She asked, then her eyes widen. "Wait, is... is it because of what I did?" She asked.

"I've been missing you...I came to spend time with you because I hate not...being with you...then you shot me down..." He sniffed. Toriel looks down, then immediately looks up with a look of determination. She scoots closer to him.

"Asgore." She said. Asgore looks down more. Toriel pulls Asgore into a hug. Asgore sighs heavily and tightly returns the hug. Toriel holds him tight as tears fall from her face.

"It' okay...I forgive you, honey.." Asgore said. Asgore scratched behind her ear again, keeping her close and tight.

"I love you, my sweet Toriel." He said softly. Toriel hears people daaww and awww, but she doesn't care as her crying starts to slow. Asgore smiles softly, resting his chin on Toriel's head as he held her. Toriel eyes start to droop as she felt tired.

"Heh, silly toriel, you can't sleep, you have to go back and teach." Asgore said. Toriel immediately sat up, blushing.

"S-sorry, today was a bit stressful." She said. Asgore places a hand on Toriel's cheek, smiling softly. Toriel looks at him. He rubs his thumb along her fur and gently scratches under her chin. Toriel relaxes and gives off a relaxed sigh.

"Want a belly rub when we get home?" He asked. Toriel nods.

"But for now, you need to get back to school." He said. Toriel nods and finishes up that last of her coffee and cake.

"Shall we be going, then?" Asgore asked, holding a hand out to her. Toriel smiles and nods, taking his hand.

"Let's!" She said happily. Asgore held her hand firmly, and gave Toriel a quick nuzzle on the cheek before leaving with her. Toriel has a happy smile as they walked down the sidewalk back to the school. The loud school bell goes off, meaning there were only five minutes till class. Toriel stands in front of the school.

"Thanks for coming, it was just what I needed." She said happily.

"Plus a little embarrassment." Asgore said, lightly pushing her. Toriel rolls her eyes lazily.

"I know." She said. Toriel smiles and pulls her close before locking his lips with Toriel's. Toriel's eyes widen, before she closes her eyes and relaxes. Asgore wrapped his arms around her waist. Toriel does the same to him. Asgore pulls away from the kiss a short few seconds later, blushing madly.

"I love you, Toriel." He said. Toriel is blushing as well, but she has a smile.

"I love you too, Asgore." She said.

"See you when you get home!" Asgore said. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Same here!" She said.

"Your belly rub will be waiting for you when you get home!" He smiles and waves as he passes through the portal. Toriel waves bye and turns around, only to see Principle Celestia with a smug grin.

"Hello, Toriel." She said.

"Hello Principle Celestia, what's with the smug grin?" Toriel asked.

"Oh nothing! Nothing at all!" Celestia said. Toriel raises an eyebrow.

"Let's just go, okay? Class is about to start!" Celestia smiled and headed inside with Toriel. Toriel nods. As she walked through the hallways, she looked and saw that Principle Celestia still has that sly grin on her face.

"You two make a cute couple." Celestia giggled. Toriel blushes slightly.

"You think so?" She asked. Celestia nodded.

"Well, he came around to have some lunch with me, it did help with my stress." Toriel said. Celestia nodded.

"That sounds nice!" She said. Toriel nods in agreement as they came to Toriel's classroom.

"Well, you have a good rest of your day, okay?" Celestia winked before walking off. Toriel walks into her class, this time, it was filled with teenagers instead of children. As she sat down, she waited for everyone to come in. And this time, more of the students had phones and were openly texting on them, opposed to hiding game devices. Toriel hears the bell ring and was just about to get started, when two girls walks in, causing her eyes to widen.

The girl on the right was the one who made her eyes open. It was a girl who looked like a teenage Queen Chrysalis. The other girl on the left she didn't know, but she has this look she didn't understand and has her tongue sticking out. While the majority of the students put away their phones, a few remained locked into the world of the internet. Toriel shakes her head, then looks over at the other students. She clears her throat. A couple of the remaining students gaze up at her. Toriel starts to teach the problems from the math book.

Chrysalis was seated in the back corner, seeming upset. Just like her last class, after a while of teaching, Toriel walks around the room, helping anyone if they need it with a smile. She stops next to Chrysalis and notices that she is upset. She looks at her with some worry.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Just leave me alone..." the girl rested her head on her arms, facing away from Toriel. Toriel kneels down.

"Please, tell me what's the matter. I'm here to help." She said.

"It's just....I've got a huge headache..." Chrysalis said. Toriel places a hand on her shoulder.

"Do you need to see the nurse?" She asked. Chrysalis moves Toriel's hand away.

"O-okay, if you need help, just ask." Toriel said. She looks over at the other girl who was looking at her with a wide smile, before she blew a raspberry and her eyes went all derpy. Toriel raises her eyebrow, then walks back to her desk. Chrysalis giggled a little and blushed slightly.

"Love you too, Fluffle Puff." She said. Toriel smiles at the two, then sits down, leaning back in the chair and thinks. The students did their work in silence. Toriel has this daydream look on her face as she hums. All of the students were working except for Chrysalis and Fluffle Puff who were embracing in a warm hug. Toriel as she watched them, happy memories of her past came up, causing a small tear to appear in her left eye.

A phone beginning to ring sliced through the eerie silence. Toriel snapped out of her daydream to look over at where the phone is ringing. While the phone rang, all the students had expressions as if it wasn't their phone. Toriel notices that it was coming from a teenager with blue spiked hair. She clears her throat. They all continued to work, ignoring the phone as if it weren't even ringing. Toriel sighs, gets up, and walks towards the teen.

"Yes, Ms. Toriel?" The teenager asked.

"Can you please turn that down, or turn it off?" Toriel asked nicely.

"Sure..." The teenager said. Toriel smiles.

"Thank you." She said happily, then walks back to her desk. The students soon finish their work a few minutes later. As soon as she sat down, the bell rings, indicating that school was over. Toriel watches as everyone gets up and leaves for home. She stands up, stretches and yawns. Chrysalis was the last left in the classroom, picking up her things which had fallen to the floor. Toriel sees that her books have fallen out and helps pick up the ones that are near.

"Here, let me help." She offered. Chrysalis blushes.

"Th-thanks, Miss Toriel..." She stutters. Toriel smiles at Chrysalis and hands her book back to her.

"It's my pleasure!" She said, just as Fluffle Puff pokes her head in and blows a raspberry. Chrysalis takes the book and frowns.

"I hear rumor I'm a monster in Equestria..." She said. Toriel is very surprised.

"Where did you hear that?" She asked. Chrysalis shrugs.

"I just heard people talking about it...now nobody talks to me...." She sighs sadly. Toriel places a hand on her shoulder.

"You shouldn't let anyone get you down, try and push through it. Ignore those who try to hurt you." She said.

"It's hard when everyone does it!" Chrysalis yells as a tear slips from her eye. Toriel pulls Chrysalis into a hug. Chrysalis tightly returns the hug as she openly cried. Toriel hugs her gently as she hums a soft tune.

"Thanks, Toriel..." Chrysalis sniffed. Toriel looks at her with a warm smile.

"It's my pleasure. Anything for a friend." She said. Chrysalis smiles softly. Toriel was about to say something, when something latched onto her back. She looks behind her and sees that Fluffle puff has latched on and is nuzzling her back.

"Fluffle Puff!" Chrysalis giggled and pulled her off Toriel and pulled her into a hug. Fluffle Puff gasps and nuzzles Chrysalis. Toriel warmly smiles at the two.

"We're gonna go now, okay?" Chrysalis smiled at Toriel. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Have a nice day you two." She said happily. Chrysalis smiles and takes Fluffle Puff's hand as the exit the classroom. Toriel notices Principle Celestia at the door with a happy smile.

"Hello Celestia." She said.

"Things going well now?" Celestia asked kindly. Toriel nods.

"It is." She said.

"Kids they think they have trouble with homework...when us teachers have to grade all of it!" Celestia said. Toriel chuckles at that.

"So true. But, I don't mind." She said.

"You should be heading on home then! I'm sure Asgore and your children miss you!" Celestia pointed out. Toriel smiles and nods. She walks out of the classroom, waving goodbye to Celestia.

"Have a nice day, Principal Celestia!" She said.

"You as well, Toriel!" Celestia giggled since she had unknowingly rhymed. Toriel walked out of the school with some pep in her step. She stops in front of the statue and looks back at the school. She smiles and walks forward, only to bump into someone, causing her and the person she bumped into to trip, falling into the portal.

Toriel came out the other end of the portal and lands on the ground with an oomph. Someone else landed right next to her. She look over and saw Sunset Shimmer.

"Sunset?" She asked. Sunset Shimmer rolls her eyes.

"Yes...for the third time..." She said. She gets up with a low groan, and attempts to go back through the mirror. But instead of going through the portal, she slams against the cool surface of glass. Sunset looks at it with shock.

"Wot...?" She asked. Toriel notices a bag on the ground.

"Hey Sunset, is this you're bag?" She asked. Sunset groans and rubs her muzzle.

"Yeah, but why won't this stupid thing work?" She asked. Toriel notices a book with Sunset's cutie mark on it. She then looks at the mirror and sees a similar book with the same mark above it.

"Why are there two books with the same mark here?" She asked.

"Wait, what?" Sunset asked, her voice sounding shocked. Toriel points at both books.

"See, they both have the same mark." She pointed out. Sunset gasps loudly.

"Is something wrong?" Toriel asked.

"This book," Sunset grabs her book from her bag in her magic. "Is supposed to stay in the other world! Now that it's here in THIS world, I can't go back! It's the gateway! I have to wait now, I don't now how many moons for it to open on its own! Sunset thumps her head against the mirror I'm going to have SO. MUCH. BUCKING. HOMEWORK!!" she screams. Toriel walks up to her.

"Do you need a hug?" She asked.

"No!" Sunset snapped at Toriel, causing her to draw back from doing so.

"S-sorry..." She apologized. She looks down then throws her forelegs around Toriel's neck. Toriel hugs her gently, like how a mother hugs a child.

"What am I gonna do?" Sunset had tears in her eyes, resting her head on Toriel's chest.

"I can call Principle Celestia about you being stuck here." Toriel offered. Sunset sniffled and rubbed her muzzle with a hoof.

"Thanks...but I guess it's nice to be...you know...me again..." She said as she looked down at her forelegs and shrugged, giving a flick of her tail. Toriel gives Sunset a warm smile.

"Twilight will be happy to see you." She said.

"I guess...I'm mostly worried about the Celestia in this world..." Sunset sniffed as she closed her eyes and a tear slipped. "I don't want her to hate me again..." She said. Toriel pulls her into a hug again. Sunset sighs sadly, resting against Toriel.

"Thanks..for being here for me...Ms. Toriel..." She said.

"It's my pleasure. Anything for a friend." Toriel said. Sunset smiled a little, nuzzling Toriel.

"Thanks." She sniffed. Toriel hears the door open and sees Twilight walk in.

"Hello, Twilight." She said.

"Sunset!" Twilight said happily.

"Twilight, we have a little problem, for some reason, Sunset can't get back." Toriel said.

"What, why not?" Twilight asked.

"Sunset tried to go back through, but she didn't." Toriel pointed out.

"We think we know why, but we're not sure..." Sunset said. Toriel walks up to the mirror and places a hoof on it, only for it to touch the smooth surface.

"Maybe this has something to do with it?" Sunset asked, lifting her book to Twilight. Toriel notices Twilight's eyes dilate and her mane pricks up in places.

"Twilight?" She asked.

"Well...seems to be our best bet is to wait until it opens by itself..." Twilight chuckled creepily. Toriel notice Twilight muttering to herself. She walks towards her.

"Twilight, are you alright?" She asked.

"YEah...I don't know..." Twilight chuckled again. Toriel was about to say something, when she sees Celestia walk in.

"Princess Celestia!" She said. Sunset gasped and hid behind Toriel. Toriel sees Celestia's eyes widen in shock as she looks at Sunset. Sunset whimpered, shrinking back. Toriel looks at Sunset, then at Celestia and saw in her eyes a motherly look.

"Celestia, you.. know Sunset?" She asked. Sunset stayed hidden behind Toriel. Eyes widen.

"Did... did something happen that caused Sunset to be afraid of you? " She asked.

"What? Oh, no it's...a long story..." Celestia said quietly. Sunset starts to tear up and throws herself at Celestia and hugs her tight.

"I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for everything!" She yelled. Toriel smiles warmly at the sight as a tear forms in her eye.

"Sunset...it has been so long..." Celestia said happily. Celestia returned her hug. "I've missed you." She said. Sunset sniffles and wipes her muzzle.

"I missed you too, Celestia..." She sniffed. Toriel walks towards them both. But as she walks, she started to feel a little light headed. Sunset sniffled and backed away.

"Y-you probably hate me..." She sniffed, looking away. Toriel looks at Sunset in shock.

"Sunset!" She said. Sunset tears up.

"I wouldn't be surprised if all Equestria hated me!" She yells. Toriel is standing next to her and pulls her into a hug. Sunset looked guiltily over towards Celestia.

"Go to her." Toriel said.

"C-celestia? C-can we talk...alone?" Sunset stammers. Toriel smiles at her. Celestia has this far away look, but nods. Sunset walks out with Celestia. Toriel follows them, only for her entire world to spin, causing her to collapse onto the ground with a thud. Sunset stared at the ground, finding herself unable to look up at Celestia, memories of her being homeless as a filly until Celestia took her in. Celestia's ears flock at the thud.

"Did you hear that?" She asked.

"A...a. thud, mom?" Sunset immediately blushed, recalling how she used to call Celestia her mom as she was the only parental figure she had. Celestia walks back into the room and notices Toriel on the ground. Her eyes widen.

"Toriel!!" She yelled.

"What's wrong?" Sunset asked worrying. Celestia rushes to Toriel's side and lifts her up, noticing that she has a pretty bad fever.

"She has a bad fever." She said. Sunset was still blushing from calling Celestia mom.

"Oh...we should get her looked at." She said. Celestia nods and teleports them to the nearest hospital, causing the clerk at the counter to jump.

"Princes Celestia! W-what brings you here?" The mare stutters. Celestia looks at her.

"This mare needs medical help, she has a very bad fever." She said.

"Oh!" The mare said. The blue unicorn mare heads down a hall. "Follow me!" She said. Celestia follows the mare. The unicorn leads them to an unoccupied room. Celestia carefully places Toriel on the bed.

"Is she going to be okay?" Sunset asked.

"I'll have to look her over before I can tell you anything, miss." The mare said. Celestia nods.

"Do whatever it takes." She said. The nurse pony nodded. Celestia sits in the chair next to her and looks at Sunset. Sunset stared at the floor.

"Sunset." Celestia said softly. "Oh, how I've missed you." She said. Sunset sniffles.

"I...missed you too...mom..." Sunset sniffed, hugging Celestia. "I'm so sorry..." She sniffed. Celestia hugs back lightly.

"No, I should be the one who's sorry." Celestia said.

"B-but the way I treated you after all you did for me...and..." Sunset tried to say. Although she tried to fight it, Sunset fund herself weeping into Celestia's chest. Celestia lays her head against her, a single tear falling from her face.

"I....I wish I could be your little filly again...when we were happy..." Sunset said. Another tear falls from her face as memories of a happy filly Sunset came to mind.

"I know, i miss those days. But, we can start anew." She said.

"I...I love you, mom..." Sunset sniffed, tightening her hug. More tears start to fall from Celestia's face as she closes her eyes.

"I love you too, Sunset." She said.

"I wanna come home..." Sunset cried softly. Celestia nods.

"Okay sweetie. We just need to make sure that Toriel is fine." She said, just as the nurse came back with a very happy smile. Sunset doesn't pull away from the hug and blushes.

"Just...dont call me that...I'm too old for that now." She giggled.

"Hope I'm not bothering anything, but I have great news." The nurse said.

"W-what is it?" Sunset asked.

"Besides a fever, this is a wonderful thing she's going through." The nurse said.

"But what is it?" Sunset asked a second time.

"Well, the mare that's on the bed..." The nurse said.

"Is pregnant."

Chapter 12: A visit from friends and family

View Online

Asgore paced back and forth in front of the portal, full of worry. Asriel looks at the portal and then looks at Asgore.

"Dad, isn't mom supposed to be here by now?" He asked.

"M-maybe she went out for a drink or something with Celestia or something...there has to be an explanation!" He openly suggested, unknowing to the fact he sounded like Twilight. Asriel was slightly worried, when the door opens. He looks back and notices celestia and a unicorn next to her.

"Celestia!" He said. Celestia smiled and approached Asgore.

"Worried about your wife?" She asked. Asgore nodded.

"Do you know where she is?" He says. Celestia nodded back.

"It's a wonderful surprise!" She said happily. Asriel is confused.

"A surprise?" he asked. Celestia nods and they teleport to the hospital. Asriel looks around, even more confused.

"Why are we at the hospital?" He asks, then his eyes widen. "Did mom get hurt!?" He yells. Celestia giggles and shakes her head.

"No, your mother is fine! Just follow me!" She said. Asgore stayed quiet as Celestia led them through the halls. Asriel walked close to Asgore, unsure of what happened to his mother. Celestia stops at a door and opens it. Asriel walks into the room, and notices Toriel was hooked up to some machines, asleep. He runs to her.

"Mommy!" He yells. Asgore walks over and leans his head down to hers.

"Honey?" He asked. Toriel grunts and starts to open her eyes slowly.

"A-Asgore..?" She asked.

"What's going on, honey?" Asgore asked. Toriel looks around.

"W-Where am I?" she asked.

"The hospital...I don't know why..." he said. Celestia clears her throat.

"Toriel. You're pregnant." She said. Toriel's eyes widen and she gets up quickly.

"WHAT!?" she yells. Celestia gasps.

"Toriel, you must not get up!" She said. Asgore collapses onto the floor unconscious. Toriel moans as the world still spins around her.

"Are you alright?" Celestia asked Toriel.

"It's...it's just too much to take." Toriel said.

"What makes you say that?" Celestia asked.

"Because I haven't had a child in over a thousand years." Toriel said.

"A thousand years..." Celestia shook her confused head. Toriel nods and sighs, but smiles.

"But, I'm still happy." She said.

"That's good! think you can handle three kids and an unconscious husband?" Celestia asked, looking down at Asgore who was sucking on his hoof. Toriel chuckles slightly.

"Anypony got any water?" She asked.

"We would if you didn't break yours!" Celestia laughs. "Get it!" She laughed. Toriel chuckles happily. With a giggle, Celestia turns to the door.

"I'll get some water." She said. Toriel looks over at Asriel and holds him close, tears in his eyes.

"I'm so happy mommy. We're going to have another brother or sister." Asriel sniffed happily. Toriel smiles and hugs him, then looks at Sunset.

"Oh, ash, Sunset, this is my son Asriel. Asriel, Sunset Shimmer." she said. Sunset was asleep in the chair, her mane blocking her eyes so nopony could tell if she was awake or not. Toriel has a sheepish look.

"Oh, ah, never mind, she's asleep." She chuckled lightly. Asriel laughs a little. Celestia returns with a cup of water in her magical yellow aura.

"Here Toriel." She said with a smile, floating it over to her.

"Also, I must correct myself... if you had broken your water, then the baby wouldn't still be in you!" She chuckled a little. Toriel chuckles a little, then dumps the water of Asgore. Asgore gasps and snaps awake, sitting up instantly.

"T-T-T-Toriel! W-wh-wha-what was t-that for!?" He yells.

"You fell unconscious, so I did that to wake you up." She said.

"Oh..." he said. Toriel giggles, then looks at her stomach.

"I can't believe it Asgore. We're going to have a child." She said happily. Asgore takes a deep breath.

"I know honey." He said. Tears appear in her eyes. Asgore smiles softly.

"I'm so happy Asgore." She said.

"Me too." Asgore said. Toriel wipes her eyes as she hugs Asgore. Asgore gently hugs back. Toriel lays her had on Asgore as tears fall from her face. With a sniff, Asgore finds himself crying as well. More and more tears of happiness fall from Toriel's face. Asgore held her tight, drying her tears.

"We're having another child, honey." He sniffed happily. Toriel smiles warmly at Asgore and nods.

"This is the best day of our lives." She said happily.

"If only frisk where here...both of them." He chuckled softly. Toriel chuckles as well.

"I'm sure that they would be ecstatic to hear I'm pregnant." She said. Asgore notices that Asriel is asleep next to Toriel. Toriel warmly smiles at him.

"He's such a good little colt." Asgore said, nuzzling him. Asriel mumbles softly in his sleep.

"Daddy..." He mumbles. Asgore rubs his head. Asriel snuggles against him.

"Celestia." Asgore said softly, pulling Asriel close to him. "Can you get Frisk for us?" He asked. Celestia nods and walks out of the room. Toriel looks at Asgore with a smile, wiping her eyes. Asgore holds Asriel close, running a hoof over his mane.

"We've missed you so much." He sniffed. Asriel has a small smile as he slept.

"We love you so much." Asgore sniffed, wiping his eye. Asriel's leg twitches as he slept. Toriel lays back down, just as Sunset slips off the chair she was sitting on and hits the ground. With a gasps she snaps awake.

"I'm up!" She yells. She sits up and looks around. "Oh, hey Asgore." She yawned. Toriel looks over.

"Oh, hey Sunset, have a nice fall?" She chuckled. Sunset rolls her eyes.

"Winter is already rolling in as if fall wasn't enough." She said as she stood up, brushing herself off. Toriel chuckled.

"Anyways, Sunset, Asgore, Asgore, Sunset. And Sunset, meet Asriel, out son." Toriel said, pointing at Asriel.

"Aww, ain't he cute." Sunset said, smiling at him. Toriel nods in agreement.

"And were waiting for another member of our family, Frisk." She said. Sunset nodded and looks down at her hooves.

"it's....nice to be a pony again..." She said. Toriel smiles.

"you must be happy to be back." She said. Sunset nodded.

"But I need to go back..." She said. Toriel sighs.

"I know, but the portal is stuck." She said. Sunset went to scratch her mane, but only bopped her head with her hoof.

"Ow...yeah...don't have fingers..." She said, rubbing her head and looking at her hoof. Toriel closes her eyes and sighs again. Asgore nuzzles Toriel as Celestia walked back in with Frisk giggling as she was latched onto Celestia's right hind leg. Toriel smiles at Frisk.

"Frisk," She said. Frisk sees Toriel and smiles widely before running up to the bedand jumps into her lap.

"Mommy!" She said happily. Toriel hugs her.

"Hey, frisk." she said happily.

"I love you, mommy!" Frisk said happily, hugging tight. Toriel nuzzles her.

"Hey, sweetie, there's something I need to tell you." She said.

"Yeah?" Frisk asks, looking up at her. Toriel warmly smiles at her.

"Frisk , well, I'm pregnant." She said. Frisk gasps.

"You are!?" She asks, looking at Toriel's belly. Toriel nods with a warm smile.

"Yep, that means you're going to have a brother or sister." She said.

"Yay!" Frisk yelled happily and hugs Toriel. Toriel hugs and nuzzles Frisk.

"This is great news, mamma!" Frisk says with tears in her big eyes. Toriel nods and lays her head against Frisk, tears in her eyes as well.

"I know, Frisk. I know." She said. Frisks started to cry softly.

"I'm so happy you adopted me." She cried softly. Asgore smiled and nuzzles Frisk.

"We're happy we adopted you." He said. Toriel smiles and also nuzzles Frisk, when a knock happens on the door. She looks up and sees Twilight.

"Oh, Twilight!" she said.

"I heard about the news!" Twilight smiled as she trotted in. Toriel smiles and nods. Suddenly, Pinkie pie came running in in a flurry of pink. Asgore grumbled.

"Too many ponies for one room..." he mumbles. Toriel giggled at Pinkie's antics. Asgore sort of clung to Toriel. Frisk notices Asriel so she cuddles up against him, and tries to nudge him awake. Asriel grunts and opens his eyes sleepily, he lifts his head and yawns.

"Huh?" He asked sleepily. Frisk cuddles into him and nuzzles his chest.

"Can you hold me, brother?" She asked. Asgore smiled at them.

"So, what are you planning on naming the child?" Sunset asked. Asriel nods and hugs Frisk. Toriel looks over at Asgore.

"How does, Fiery Heart sound Asgore?" Toriel asked.

"Sounds good if it's a filly in there!" Asgore chuckled, poking Toriel's belly.

"I love you so much, big brother, Asriel!" Frisk said. Toriel giggles at the poke. Asriel smiles.

"I love you too, Frisk." She said. Frisk hugs Asriel tightly. Asriel hugs back. Toriel looks at Asgore with a smile.

"Asgore, I'm so happy." Toriel said.

"Me, too." Asgore smiled, rubbing Frisk's head, earning a giggle from her.

"You know what this calls for!!!?" Pinkie yelled.

"What?" Asgore asked.

"A PARTY!!!!" Pinkie yelled. Asgore laughs hysterically.

"Me party? Never!" He laughed. Pinkie tilts her head in confusion.

"What do you mean never?" She asked.

"I'm not good with parties..." He mumbles. Pinkie wraps an arm around Asgore.

"Oh come on, you can't be that bad." She said.

"Right. I'm worse, hehe." Asgore said.

"Well anyway, I need to get it ready!" Pinkie said, running off. Frisk and Asriel run around, smiling happily. Toriel has tears in her eyes as she looks at her two happy children.

"They are so cute." Asgore smiles. Toriel wipes her eyes and pulls Asgore into a hug as Asriel and Frisk fall asleep next to each other. Asgore hugs back. Toriel cries softly against Asgore, hugging him slightly tight with a wide smile, when there was another knock at the door.

"I'll get that." Celestia said, walking towards the door. On the other end, Queen Chrysalis was standing.

"Before you go shouting my name and shooting lasers, Celestia, just please...allow me to speak to Toriel..." Chrysalis said.

"Whatever you're her for, I don't trust you around Toriel!" Celestia hissed.

"I wouldn't expect you to, but I must speak with her..." Chrysalis said softly, lowering her head a little.

"Celestia, let her speak." Toriel said, sitting up. Celestia glared at Chrysalis.

"Very well." She stepped aside and Chrysalis slowly walked in. Chrysalis slowly walks to the bed.

"Mind if I sit?" She asked. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Sure." She said. Chrysalis sat and looks at a sleeping Frisk and Asriel.

"She seems so happy..." she said. Toriel nods.

"She is. She's happy because we're there to protect her." She said. Frisk wakes up and looks and sees Chrysalis, then with a frightened gasp she quickly hides behind Toriel. Chrysalis looks down.

"I...I want to thank you...for caring for her after I mindlessly threw her out of the hive. Other things too..." She sniffed. Toriel places a hoof on Chrysalis's shoulder and gives her a warm smile. Chrysalis places a hoof over Toriel's and smiled back.

"The love you gave me was more than enough for my subjects...and they've been rather happy...they even sing and they...they even built a statue of you, calling you their savior." Chrysalis said. Toriel's eyes widen in surprise.

"W-What?" She asked. Chrysalis nodded.

"I mostly have to thank that you don't see me as such a monster...I don't try to be..." She said, lowering her head. "Desperate times call for desperate measures...I have to feed thousands of changelings, Toriel! Th-they look up to me! They're all mostly too weak to even do their day jobs, tunneling more for the hive...then to have to fight the elements of harmony...it's a lot to ask of them..." She sniffed. Toriel suddenly pulls Chrysalis into a hug. Chysalis gasped in surprise, but then returned the hug...and cried.

"Your pushing yourself too hard, Chrysalis. You should slow down. If you continue, you'll push yourself over the edge." Toriel said.

"Like I haven't several times enough?" Chrysalis sobbed, crying into Toriel's chest, while Celestia watched in total shock. Toriel hums a soft tune to try and calm Chrysalis down. She reduced herself to gradual sniffles and pulls away from Toriel and rubs her muzzle with a hoof.

"I just cried in front of Princess Celestia...I'm never going to hear the end of this..." She sniffed.

"You mustn't be too hard on yourself, you must be strong." Toriel said.

"I try to be...for my subjects..." Chrysalis sniffed. Twilight clears her throat.

"So I take it no more full scale invasions?" she said sheepishly, earning a glare from Chrysalis. Toriel also glares at Twilight, then looks at Chrysalis.

"May....may I have a look." She asked.

"At what?" Chrysalis asked.

"Your hive. I want to have a look at your hive, because is sounds like they live underground, like how me and my family lived." Toriel said.

"Oh sure! If...you're up for the trip..." Chrysalis said, sounding a little better. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"Would you like to come, Asgore?" She asked.

"Eh, sure, why not? I'm curious to see this statue!" Asgore said. Chrysalis smiled softly and hugs Toriel again.

"Thanks for...being my..my friend..." She sniffed, tightening her hug. "Thank you." She sniffed again. Toriel smiles and hugs back/

"Anything for a friend." She said.

"Well, I'm gonna get going...got to lower the sun." Celestia said, then teleports away.

"M-mind if I stay for a bit, Toriel? I never had a friend before...I don't know how it works..." Chrysalis asked. Toriel nods.

"Sure." she said.

"Thanks." Chrysalis sits next to Toriel and Frisk climbs into Chrysalis' lap. Frisk smiled up at her, and Chrysalis rubbed her head.

"It seems that she has finally warmed up to you." Toriel said. Frisk hugs Chrysalis.

"She apologized!" She said. Toriel smiles widely.

"That's good!" She said. Chrysalis smiled and placed Frisk in Toriel's lap.

"So, what would you like to know about friends?" Toriel asked. Chrysalis smiled.

"Everything!" Chrysalis said. Toriel nods and tells what she knows about friends to Chrysalis. Chrysalis listened closely, nodding now and again.

"Sorry if I don't know much about friends, living underground for a thousand years alone can do that." Toriel said. Chrysalis smiled weakly.

"I guess neither of us are as alone as we thought." She said, then hugs Toriel again. Toriel smiles and hugs back.

"I guess so. I have my family, and you have your hive." She said.

"They all wish to see you, Toriel...you've...given them a new hope..." Chrysalis sniffed, a tear appears in her eye. "Before you, I'd have to watch them drop dead one by one but now...they're happy. Something I could never provide for them." She sniffed, a tear falls from her eye. "We only..do the things we do since nopony wants to share their love with us and so...we began to just...take it." She sniffed. Toriel hugs Chrysalis slightly tighter.

"Shhh, everything shall be fine. I'm happy that your hive is happy." She said. Chrysalis smiles

"Thanks for being so understanding." She said. Toriel smiles as well.

"Hey, that's what friends are for." She said.

"Mamma can we adopt Chrysalis!?" Frisk beamed. Chrysalis chuckled.

"No, I'm afraid not." She said. Toriel warmly smiles at Frisk.

"As great as that may be, I don't know if Chrysalis's hive might like that." she said.

"They'd perceive me as a fool...but...I think you'd be more fit as their queen." Chrysalis said, looking down. "I don't know about being adopted, but being a kid again would be nice...to be carefree and not having to attack others and try and makes myself seem like such a big shot and fail at the end of it..." She sighed. Toriel places a hoof on Chrysalis's shoulder and gives her a motherly smile.

"You shouldn't push yourself." She said.

"You told me that already. I gotta go..." Chrysalis gets up, hugs Toriel one last time and quickly leaves.

"Wait, Chrysalis!" Toriel said. Chrysalis turns at the door.

"Yes, Toriel?" She asked. Toriel rubs the back of her neck. Toriel rubs the back of her neck.

"Well, when I get out of the hospital, can you show me your hive?" She asked. Chrysalis nods.

"Of course." She said. Toriel smiles, then looks at Frisk.

"HI, mamma!" Frisk said, nuzzling her. "I love you!" She said. Chrysalis smiles at the scene, then leaves. Toriel warmly smiles at her, then uses her magic to bring her family together and hugs them.

"I love you all, my wonderful family." She said. Chrysalis stood outside, listening."

"Wish I had a family..." She mutters. Toriel smiles as she hugs her family.

"You know, I could do something nice for Chrysalis and adopt her, I don't know." She said.

"Not sure how she'd feel about that..." Asgore chuckled, holding a sleeping Asriel close. Toriel sight.

"Only time will tell, only time will tell." She said.

"You really think Chrysalis would want to be adopted?" Asgore chuckled. Toriel nods slightly.

"I think so, but I don't know. Should we have some to think about it?" She asked.

"Yeah...I mean for an evil...used to be evil diarch to just flip and want to be adopted isn't going to happen." Asgore said. Toriel glares at him a little.

"Easy now Asgore, she is just alone." She warned.

"I know..." he said. Toriel sighs.

"I'm sorry Asgore, it's just she is almost like me, so much to take care of, all alone." She apologized.

"You're gonna make me to on a guilt trip..." Asgore looks down. Toriel looks worried and pulls Asgore into a hug.

"I'm sorry, I don't want that to happen to you." She said.

"It's okay..." Asgore said, nuzzling Toriel. Toriel nuzzles back, just as the nurse walks in.

"Mrs. Toriel!" Nurse Red heart said. "Great news, we're discharging you!" She said happily. Toriel tilts her head.

"Oh?" She asked.

"You were just experiencing the normal pains that come with pregnancy." Red heart said. Toriel smiles and nods. She gets up slowly, her head in some pain a little. Asgore helps her up a little.

"Come on Love...let's go home." He said, nuzzling her. Toriel nods and nuzzles back. She smiles and places a sleeping Asriel on her back. She looks over at Frisk.

"Ready Frisk?" She asked. Frisk nods and hops onto Toriel's back.

"I love you mommy and daddy!" She said happily. Toriel warmly smiles at her.

"I love you too Frisk." She said. Frisk gives Toriel a nuzzle. Toriel nuzzles back as they walk towards the front desk.

"Hi, can I get your name, please?" Said the pink unicorn mare behind the counter. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Yes, it's, Toriel Dreemurr." She said. The mare nods then flips through papers on a clipboard. Toriel smiles and waits patiently, humming a little.

"Ah, here you are! Just sign here!" The mare said as she hoofs the clipboard over to Toriel. Toriel nods and takes the clipboard with her magic and signs her name on it, then hands it back.

"Here you go." She said.

"You're all set then!" The mare said happily. Toriel Smiles and looks at Asgore.

"Ready, Asgore?" She asked. Asgore nodded. Toriel smiles and walks towards the front door with Asgore, but stops when she sees Chrysalis, who has a slight worried look as ponies avoided her.

"Queen Chrysalis?" She asked. Frisk's ears perked up at something and suddenly she jumped off Toriel's back and ran for the doors.

"Chryssie!!" She yelled. Toriel walked faster after Frisk.

"Frisk, wait!" She said. Frisk didn't hear as she ran out the doors and into Chrysalis, hugging her leg. Chrysalis hugs her.

"Hello, Frisk." Chrysalis said as Toriel wobbles a little due to fatigue as she walks towards them.

"What are you doing here, Chrysalis?" Asgore asked, tilting his head.

"Well, Toriel did say that see wanted to see my hive when she got out of the hospital." Chrysalis pointed out.

"That is true, Asgore, I did say that." Toriel said, nodding.

"So lets go then!" Frisk happily climbed to Chrysalis' back. Toriel nodded and looks at Asgore.

"You ready?" She asked.

"Sure! We'll let this guy just doze away on my back." Asgore said, smiling at a sleeping Asriel. Toriel nods and looks at Chrysalis.

"We're ready, Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis nods and her horn lights.

"Hang on!" She yelled as they disappeared in a flash. The ponies who hid slowly came out from their hiding spots.

"I-Is she gone?" One asked. One pony poked his head out and looked around, then nods.

"Yes, she's gone, but the ponies that were with that monster are gone as well." He said. Frisk ooohed at the sight of the hive as they approached.

"Mommy, look!" she looks to Toriel and points towards the hive. Toriel looked at where Frisk was pointing and saw a massive black dome.

"Is that it, Chrysalis?" Toriel asked. Chrysalis nods. Frisk teleports to Toriel's back as they come to the hive. A pair of changeling guards were at the entrance, when they saw Chrysalis and Toriel. When their eyes laid on Toriel, their eyes widen and one guard drops his spear.

"T-The s-saviour!" The guard stutters. They ran up and bowed at Toriel's hooves, kissing them. Chrysalis chuckled.

"Enough you two. I think she'd like to see the hive!" She ordered. The guards immediately stopped and stood at attention and saluted.

"Yes my queen!" They said. Toriel notices that their wings were sparkly. She looked at Chrysalis's wings and saw the same thing. Frisk hugs Toriel's neck.

"Mommy can you please adopt Chryssie?" She whispered as they entered the hive. Toriel looks back at her.

"Asgore wants us to think about it. But I think that we should, she sort of reminds me a little." She said.

"Okay." Frisk teleported onto the head of a nearby guard. "Hi there!" She said happily. The guard jumps and lets off a chirp in surprise. She nuzzles him then flutters back over to Toriel.

"The statue is just over this way." Chrysalis smiled as she entered a hole in the wall that just opened up. Toriel smiles and nods, following Chrysalis as she hugs Frisk. They entered a large room with green orbs along the walls serving as light, and in the center of the circular room, stood a two story tall statue of Toriel and two changelings seeming weak. The head was lowered to aid in helping the changeling to the right to his hooves while the other leans against the left side of Toriel, a wing draped across his back. The eyes glowed a vivid bright red. Chrysalis smiled.

"They've done quite a lot of work to make this." She said. Toriel's eyes widen as she looks at the statue.

"It's-It's beautiful." She said.

"Wow...it's magnificent!" Asgore exclaimed, staring up at the statue. Chrysalis smiles at Toriel.

"We have much to thank you for." She said. Toriel wipes her eyes as a tear appears in them, when suddenly, the changelings around stopped and pointed at her, chittering happily as some Changeling foals run up to her.

"It's our saviour!" they cheered, clinging to Toriel's legs. More tears appear in Toriel's eyes as she has a warm smile, looking at the foals. More and more changelings walk towards her chittering and chirping with happiness.

"Mommy you're popular!" Frisk giggles, nuzzling Toriel. A changeling with a camera was snapping photos as the others where surrounding Toriel, some where bowing, others wanted to touch her to see if she was real. Toriel wipes her eyes as she looks over at Frisk and nods. Soon the room was filled with changelings. They were chittering away, touching Toriel, asking questions, and bowing to her. Toriel was getting lost at what to do due to the massive numbers of changelings.

"Alright, back to work!" Chrysalis ordered and the changelings quickly buzzed off. Toriel warmly smiles at the happy changelings as she notices that their wings were glittering as well. She looks back at the statue, then at Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis, the statue, I-I don't know what to say." She sniffed happily.

"It's alright." Chrysalis said, smiling. Toriel smiles and hugs Chrysalis tight. Chrysalis hugs back.

"I'm glad I could help your hive, Chrysalis." Toriel said as tears fell from her face.

"I'm glad you helped, Toriel. Any longer without your help, and we might not be here right now." Chrysalis wipes Toriel's tears away and nuzzles her. Toriel warmly smiles at nuzzles back.

"My daughter." She said in a very quiet voice. Chrysalis took a surprised couple of steps back.

"What did you say?" She asked. Toriel looks at Chrysalis in confusion.

"What did I say?" She asked.

"You said...daughter." Chrysalis whispered. Toriel is surprised.

"What, no, that can't be right. I couldn't have said daughter." Toriel stutters a little.

"But you did." Chrysalis nuzzles Toriel with a soft chuckle. "Why though?" She asked. Toriel looks at Asgore and sighs.

"Well, me and my husband, were thinking of... adopting you." She said.

"Adopt me? Why...?" Chrysalis asked.

"Well, you kind of remind me a little of...well, me." Toriel sighed.

"Well this is sudden..." Chrysalis chuckled nervously. Toriel chuckled nervously as well.

"Yea..." She said. Chrysalis remained silent now as if she were thinking. Frisk jumps down from Toriel's back and hugs Chrysalis' leg.

"Pwease let mommy adopt you!" She pleaded as she makes a wide eyed pouty face. "We can be sisters!" She said. Toriel closes her eyes, lets out a sigh, then opens them and has a look of determination.

"If it will make you happy, then I will allow you to join our family as part of the family." She said.

"But I can't...I mean..." Chrysalis said, looking down at Frisk. "I have my subjects to care for..." She said. Toriel places a hoof on Chrysalis's shoulder and gives her a motherly like smile.

"We can help you if you'd like." She offered.

"That would be great...they all look up to you now anyway..." Chrysalis said, looking down. Toriel smiles falters as she pulls Chrysalis into a hug.

"Hey, I will help you get through this, I promise. Besides, I was a monster and was treated horribly too." She said.

"I'll be a laughing stock if I let you adopt me...I mean....Queen Chrysalis, evil changeling ruler gets adopted..." Chrysalis sniffed. Toriel frowns.

"You shouldn't let anyone tell you what to do, you are your own person, and if anyone hurts you, they have to go through me first!" She yells as her hoofs catch on fire. Chrysalis smiled.

"You're so supportive of me..." Chrysalis said as she nuzzles Toriel and hugs her. "Alright...I'll let you adopt me." Chrysalis hugs tighter. Toriel smiles widely and hugs Chrysalis, the fire on her hoofs are gone, leaving her hoofs nice and warm against Chrysalis.

"Welcome to the family, Chrysalis. Oh, and Chrysalis, I was a queen as well." Toriel said.

"You told me that already." Chrysalis chuckled.

"Yay! I have a sister!" Frisk hugs Chrysalis around the neck. Toriel chuckles as well at the site and smiles.

"You know, we should head back, Twilight is probably worried that we just disappeared and thought we were taken." She pointed out.

"I should stay here for now though..." Chrysalis said, nuzzling Frisk. Toriel smiles.

"You're welcome to come with us anytime, Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis nodded. Toriel looks at Frisk and Asgore.

"Ready?" She asked.

"Mamma...can I stay with big sis for a while, please?" Frisk asked as she hugs Toriel's leg. Toriel smiles and nods.

"I guess we can all stay here for a while longer." She said.

"Oh okay then!" Frisk climbed up onto Chrysalis' back. "Hi big sis!" She said happily. Asgore chuckled and hugs Chrysalis.

"We're here for you, okay?" He asked. Toriel Smiles and holds a sleeping Asriel close. Asriel stirred in his sleep. Toriel warmly smiles as he snuggles against her.

"T-toriel?" Chrysalis stutters. Toriel looks up.

"Yes, Chrysalis?" She asked.

"Think you could ah..." Chrysalis leaned forward and whispered something in Toriel's ear. Toriel is slightly confused.

"Are you sure? What about your hive?" She asked.

"With you around, they'll be fine." Chrysalis said, nuzzling Toriel. Toriel looks at Asgore.

"Yes, honey?" Asgore asked. Toriel looks back at Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis, I don't know, I-I need some more time to think." She said, sighing.

Toriel smiles as Frisk and Asriel are running around the room that Chrysalis has given them to sleep in. Chrysalis leans against Toriel and smiles.

"Seems to be I have a brother and sister now." She said. Toriel smiles as she wraps a hoof around her and pulls Chrysalis close to her and nods.

"A loving mother and father, too." Asgore said as he pulls Chrysalis away from Toriel and hugs her tight. Toriel smiles as she watches frisk and Asriel run around.

"We'll make sure that everypony will get used to changelings, Chrysalis." Toriel said.

"Thank you, Toriel, I hope so." Chrysalis said, nuzzling her. Toriel nuzzles back, then has an idea.

"Hey, Chrysalis, may we have a look around the hive?" She asked. Chrysalis nods.

"You don't have to ask, especially...you know...being my mom..." She said. Toriel smiles and chuckles.

"Well, it's your hive though." She pointed out. Chrysalis smiles softly, resting her head on Toriel's shoulder.

"C-can I have a hug?" She asks, blushing. Toriel warmly smiles and nods, pulling Chrysalis into a motherly hug. Chrysalis hugs back tightly.

"Thank you for everything, mom. I shouldn't call you Toriel since it's rude to call your parents by their names..."She said, sniffing a little. Toriel's eyes widen at being called mom by Chrysalis and hugs back a little tighter.

"It's okay, my daughter." She said. Chrysalis again asks her what she asked earlier. Toriel looks at her.

"Is it okay if I ask Asgore about it to see what he thinks?" See asks. Chrysalis nodded. Toriel nods as well and leans over Asgore and whispers what Chrysalis said to her over to him, then looks at him.

"What do you think, Asgore, should we do it?" She asked. Asgore smiled and nodded. Toriel looks over at Chrysalis, smiles and nods.

"Okay Chrysalis, we agree." Toriel said. Chrysalis smiles. Toriel smiles as well as her horn starts to glow.

"I may not know how to do this, Chrysalis, but I will due my best, I've also read some of Twilights books." She said. Chrysalis nods. Toriel concentrates as a glow surrounds Chrysalis. Chrysalis' smile widens. Toriel puts more power as a bead of sweat starts to fall from her face as chrysalis starts to shrink down. Frisk and Asriel stop and watch in awe. Frisk hugs Asriel as she watched. Toriel's horn finally stops glowing as Chrysalis shrunk down to the size of a filly that is slightly bigger than Asriel. Toriel collapses on the ground breathing heavily.

"M-mom!" Chrysalis yells as she runs over and nuzzles Toriel. "M-Mom?" She sniffed. Toriel breaths heavily as sweat pours down her face as she raises her head up and warmly smiles.

"Ch-Chrysalis..." She said, before her head falls back down. Chrysalis hugs her.

"Mommy..." She nuzzles Toriel and being a filly she starts to cry. Toriel's breathing slowed as she has fallen asleep from using a lot of magic. Asriel walks towards her and looks over Toriel.

"She's asleep. She probably used a lot of magic and it put her to sleep." Asriel said. Chrysalis nods, then snuggles close to Toriel's chest. In her sleep, Toriel drapes a wing over Chrysalis. Asgore smiled softly and levitates Toriel and the foals onto the bed and lays next to them. Chrysalis soon fell asleep against Toriel. Toriel snuggles against Asgore as Asriel and Frisk snuggle with Chrysalis against Toriel's chest. Asgore softly kisses their heads. Toriel sleeps with a smile on her face as her three children are asleep soundly and peacefully against their mother. A bit later, Chrysalis wakes up, the others were asleep. She nudges Toriel with her nose.

"Mommy?" She said. Toriel's eyes open a little as she raises her head, yawning, then looks at Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis, what's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing." Chrysalis said as she hugs Toriel around the neck. "Th-thank you...for adopting me..." She sniffed. Toriel warmly smiles and nuzzles Chrysalis. Chrysalis sniffled as she tightens her hug. Toriel holds her lightly.

"Shhh, mommy's here Chrysalis." She said softly.

"I-I never had a mommy before..." Chrysalis sniffed as a tear slips from her right eye. Toriel wipes the tear from her eye and holds her a little tighter and looks at her with a motherly smile.

"Well, I'm glad I could be the mom you never had." Toriel said softly.

I-I-I love you!" Chrysalis barely choked out before crying. Toriel holds her close as she cries.

"I love you to, Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis tightly hugs Toriel as she cried. Toriel lightly stokes Chrysalis's mane as she hums a soft tune, trying to calm Chrysalis down. She slowly does so and clings to Toriel. Toriel slowly stops humming and looks down at Chrysalis. Chrysalis has her forelegs around Toriel's neck, her head under her chin.

"I-I love you mommy" She sniffed. Toriel nuzzles her.

"I love you too, my wonderful daughter, Chrysalis." She said softly.

"I'm bored..." Chrysalis giggles. Toriel chuckles.

"Well, maybe we can figure something out, but probably not right now, I do have a major headache from casting that spell." She said.

"Okay..." Chrysalis sniffed as her ears droop. Toriel looks a little worried.

"Oh, come here." She said, hugging Chrysalis again. Chrysalis hugs back. Toriel lays down again and places Chrysalis next to her. Toriel nuzzles her. Chrysalis nuzzles back. Toriel lays her head and starts to fall asleep.

"Mammaaaaa!!" Chrysalis whines. Toriel's eyes snap open.

"wai-wha Chrysalis!?" She yells. She whimpers and nuzzles Toriel. Toriel nuzzles back.

"What's wrong sweetie?" She asked.

"I wanna spend time!" Chrysalis whined. Toriel warmly smiles and stands up slowly as to not disturb the others.

"Okay, sweetie." She said. Chrysalis nuzzles Toriel. Toriel nuzzles back and places Chrysalis on her back and gets off the bed. Chrysalis giggled quietly. Toriel walks out the door with Chrysalis on her back.

"Chrysalis if I may say, who's going to take care of the hive since you're a filly?" She asked.

"Well...with the love you gave them, they haven't been hungry at all since, so they'll be fine, I think!" Chrysalis smiled. Toriel nods at the point.

"That may be true, but they followed you since they were born, aren't they going to worry that you're now a filly and some may think that your not worthy to be a queen anymore?" She asked.

"Th-they'll be fine...can we not talk about this?" Chrysalis said, looking away. Toriel has a little sheepish look and nods.

"S-sorry." She apologized. Chrysalis clings to the back of Toriel's neck. Toriel looks up.

"So, Chrysalis, what would you like to do?" She asked.

"Go for a walk? I dunno, I just wanna be with you, mommy." Chrysalis said, smiling. Toriel warmly smiles and nods.

"Okay, sweetie." She said. Chrysalis smiles as she looks around. Toriel smiles as they past what looks like houses inside the walls. Chrysalis yawns. Toriel smiles as changelings stopped what their doing and point at Toriel, even come near her, but back off due to being nervous.

"Frisk seems happy about having me as a sister." Chrysalis said. Toriel smiles and nods.

"She is, which i'm very happy about." She said.

"Asriel hasn't really...taken much of a liking to me yet, though..." Chrysalis said. Toriel sighs.

"Well, he was a well, I don't know how to put this, he was...killed a thousand years ago..." She sniffed.

"Killed? How is he here, then?" Chrysalis asked tilting her head. Toriel stops as a tear falls down from her face.

"Mom?" Chrysalis asked. More tears fall from Toriel's face. Toriel sniffs as even more tears fall from her face as her head lowers.

"Mommy don't cry..." Chrysalis nuzzles Toriel. Toriel's legs wobble as horrible memories pop up as she collapses onto the ground crying as tears fall from her face.

"Mom..." Chrysalis hugs Toriel and starts to cry as well. More and more horrible memories popped up in Toriel's head, Chara's death, Asriel's death, breaking up with Asgore, etc. Toriel hugs Chrysalis as she cries. Chrysalis holds tightly onto Toriel.

"Mommmmyyy!!" Chrysalis bawled. The cry was loud enough for Asgore to here as Toriel holds Chrysalis tightly, still crying. Asgore gets up and makes his way through the changing holes to Toriel with Frisk and Asriel in tow. Asriel was looking around in confusion as Toriel was still crying as she held Chrysalis. Frisk woke up and joined in the hugging. Toriel looks up with tear stained eyes and looks at Asgore.

"A-Asgore..." She cried.

"Yes, honey?" Asgore asked, nuzzling Toriel. Toriel latches onto Asgore and cries her eyes out on him.

"It's alright honey...everything is better now." Asgore said, holding her tight. "Be happy, we have a new daughter!" He said happily. Toriel pulls away from him tears still streaming down her face.

"Momma..." Chrysalis hugs Toriel around the neck. Toriel nuzzles Chrysalis as she wipes her eyes, then hugs her. Chrysalis smiles as she tightly hugs Toriel. Toriel nuzzles her. Chrysalis nuzzles back.

"It's nice to have a mommy." She said happily. Toriel warmly smiles and nods.

"It's nice to have such a wonderful family." She said. Chrysalis clings to the front of Toriel's neck, even as she stands.

"I love you, mom." She said happily, nuzzling Toriel's neck.

"What about me?" Asgore smirked. Chrysalis giggles.

"You too, dad." She said. Toriel smiles and hugs her family. Asgore pulls them all into a tight and loving hug. Toriel Smiles and nuzzles Asgore, then looks at Chrysalis.

"Um, Chrysalis, since you're apart of our family, would you...would you mind if me and Asgore, took care of the hive for you?" She asked. Chrysalis nods, still clinging to Toriel.

"Can I go play with Frisk and Asriel, mamma?" She asked. Toriel smiles and nods.

"Go ahead." She said. She smiles, gets down and joins Frisk and Asriel who were chasing each other around. Toriel warmly smiles at them as the three of them running around happily, then leans against Asgore.

"I guess we're king and queen again, Asgore." Toriel said happily.

"Heh...of a species we don't even know how to care for." Asgore chuckled. Toriel giggles and nuzzles him.

"Even if we don't know, we'll take care of them." she said.

"Of course." Asgore said, as he notices changelings staring at them. Asriel doesn't know what to do with Chrysalis as he is looking at her. The changelings walked closer, looking at Asgore nervously. Chrysalis takes a step towards him. Asriel takes a step closer, but looks nervous. Chrysalis rushes up to him and hugs him. Asriel's eyes widen in surprise, then he hugs her back.

"D-don't be scared of me...I-I'm your sister now..." Chrysalis said, hugging him tight. Tears began to fall from Asriel's face as he lays his head against Chrysalis and hugs her tight as well. Chrysalis holds him close, nuzzling him.

"It's okay." She said. More tears fall from his face as he hugs her.

"I love you." Chrysalis wipes his tears away. Asriel hugs her tighter.

"I-I love you too, Chrysalis." He sniffed. Chrysalis turns her head to smile at Toriel and Asgore. Toriel closes her eyes as she lays against Asgore with a warm smile. Asgore nuzzles Toriel.

"Our three wonderful kids." He says as he watches as they begin running around, playing tag. Toriel warmly smiles as her three children play happily. Frisk squees with joy.

"What shall we do now?" Asgore asked as he nuzzles Toriel.

"We can't just leave these changelings alone without a queen, but we can't also leave Twilight worried as well." Toriel pointed out.

"I guess you're right..."Asgore watches the foals having fun.

"Should we...tell the changelings that we're their new king and queen?" she asked.

"Let Chrysalis do that." Asgore said. Toriel nods and closes her eyes and sighs happily. Asgore pulls Chrysalis over with his magic and hugs her.

"Hi, daddy!" Chrysalis yells happily as she returns his hug. Toriel warmly smiles at Chrysalis, then remembers something.

"Oh! I almost forgot, hey Chrysalis, I meant to ask, but why are your wings and the changeling's wings glittering?" She asked.

"I dunno." Chrysalis giggled. Toriel is slightly confused.

"Huh? I will have to ask Twilight about that." She said. Chrysalis giggles again. Toriel smiles.

"Do you think we should go and see Twilight, since we haven't seen her in a day?" She asked. Asgore nods.

"Sure." He said. Toriel smiles a little wider, then looks at her children.

"Asriel, Frisk, Chrysalis, come here, we're going to visit Twilight." She said.

"Okay!" the three of them said as they all happily gather in front of Toriel. Toriel tries to concentrate on a teleportation spell, but pain shot through her head, causing her to hiss in pain.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Frisk asked. Toriel grips her head as her headache got worse as tears fall from her face.

"My...headache..." She hissed.

"Honey...you okay?" Asgore asked as he holds Toriel close. More tears fall from Toriel's face as she leans against Asgore, her head hurting.

"I think you just need to rest, okay, love?" Asgore asks as he kisses Toriel on the head. Toriel nods, then has an idea.

"What about...Twilight, she...can probably...help...with my....headache..." Toriel pointed out. Asgore nods.

"Good point." Asgore said, nodding. Toriel nods, still holding her head in pain.

"Asgore you...may need to...teleport us to...Twilight..." She said.

"I can try..." Asgore said as he lights his horn, but the light just fades. Toriel places her horn against Asgore's.

"Here...let me...help..." She said as her horn glows. They try again, only for it to fail. Toriel puts more magic into her horn, but pain starts to shoot through her head as her headache starts to get worse.

"Let me, mamma!" Chrysalis lights her horn with ease and they all teleport to Twilight's. Toriel's horn stops glowing as she collapses onto the ground as her head is pounding as she heard Twilight gasp.

"Toriel!" Twilight yells as she rushes over to her side. Toriel breaths heavily as she moans in pain.

"Toriel, what's....wrong?" Twilight asked as she took noticed Chrysalis. Asriel walks up to her.

"Toriel used up a lot of her magic to turn Chrysalis back into a filly and she is in pain. She had a major headache." He said.

"Wait...You actually ADOPTED Queen Chrysalis!?" Twilight asked in shock. Chrysalis nods.

"Uh-huh! Toriel is my mommy now!" She beams. Toriel warmly smiles at Chrysalis, then clutches her head in pain. Asriel looks at Twilight with pleading eyes.

"Please, help my mother, please." He pleaded.

"I can of course!" Twilight said asshe casts a simple spell and Toriel's head ache is gone and Toriel earns a gentle nuzzle from Chrysalis.

"I love you, mamma." She said. Toriel nuzzles Chrysalis back and stands up, her legs wobbling slightly.

"Mommy!" Chrysalis said reaching up for Toriel. Toriel warmly smiles and picks Chrysalis up and holds her close. She looks up at Twilight.

"Thank you." She said. Toriel nodded.

"Of course!" She said happily. Chrysalis hugs Toriel round her barrel and nuzzles her neck.

"Can we go cuddle, mamma?" She asked.

"But I want to cuddle with Chrysalis!" Frisk pouts, hugging Chrysalis as Toriel held her. Toriel warmly smiles at them.

"You can both cuddle with me." She said.

"YAY!" They both say happily, hugging Toriel. Toriel wraps her arms around them and nuzzles them both as Asriel stands next to Asgore.

"Well, come inside!" Twilight moves to the side for them to enter. Chrysalis continues to cling to Toriel's Barrel.

"I love my mommy." she says softly to herself. Toriel smiles and walks inside as she keeps chrysalis and Frisk close. Once in bed, Chrysalis and Frisk curl up on top of Toriel's chest, while Asgore held onto Asriel.

"We have the most beautiful children, don't we, honey?" Asgore said, smiling. Toriel warmly smiles and nods.

"We do, Asgore. Plus another family member on the way as well." She said. Asgore nods and chuckles.

"Mom?" Chrysalis asked, looking up at Toriel. Toriel looks down at Chrysalis.

"Yes, Chrysalis?" She said.

"Thanks for adopting me." Chrysalis said as she nuzzles Toriel. Toriel nuzzles back, when suddenly pain shot through her head and she hisses in pain, clutching her head.

"Mommy what's wrong?" Frisk and Chrysalis asked in concern. Pain shot through Toriel's head.

"The headache...it's back...." Toriel hissed in pain.

"I'm going to go and get Twilight." Chrysalis gets up and runs out of the room. Toriel still clutches her head as tears fall from her face. A minute later, Chrysalis returns with Twilight.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked. Toriel whimpers in pain.

"My...head..." Toriel whimpers.

"Oh." Twilight said as she lights her horn to fix it. Toriel's facial expression softens as the pain ebbs, but was still there.

"Mommy?" Chrysalis nudges Toriel with her nose.

"Still..hurts..." Toriel said in pain. Chrysalis whimpered, hugging her.

"Momma..." She sniffed. Toriel looks at Chrysalis with pained eyes, then at Twilight.

"Help...please..." She said. Twilight tries again and puts some more effort into it this time. Toriel's facial expressions soften again, when suddenly, Toriel's eyes open, showing nothing but white as her horn causes a major flash. There was a dark room in a castle at night where Asgore slept as Toriel walks in with a old camcorder.

"Hey Asgore, say hi." She giggled.

"Hi?" Asgore asked sleepily, tilting his head. Toriel giggles.

"I just put the kids to bed and i know you like your sleep, but just just had to record this." She said. Asgore chuckles.

"Alright." He said. Toriel Smiles and gets into bed with Asgore.

"You know I know that there's probably not going to be any footage on the camera, but at least we'll still hear it. " She said. Asgore shrugs. Toriel looks at him.

"Hey Asgore, if I was a dog, you know what dog i would be?" She asked.

"I dunno, what?" Asgore asked.

"I would be a, Momeranian!" She giggled.

"I don't get it." He said as he shakes his head. Toriel giggles again and yawns.

"I'll tell you in the morning too tired." She said. Asgore pulls Toriel close and falls asleep. As Toriel falls asleep against Asgore, she was snapped back to reality. She opens her eyes and moans as everything was blurry.

"Honey!" Asgore yelled as he was nudging her with his hooves. Toriel's vision comes back as she stands up. She looks over at Asgore.

"A-Asgore, w-what happened?" She asked.

"Toriel! Y-you changed!" Twilight yells in shock. Toriel is confused as she tilts her head.

"Um, what?" She asked.

"You changed...." Asgore restated. Toriel is even more confused.

"I don't feel like I've changed, I mean i do feel a little bit more, powerful, but still feel that same." Toriel said.

"You look different, mommy!" Frisk added. Toriel looks over at Frisk.

"How do I look different?" She asked. Twilight conjures up a mirror. Toriel looks in the mirror and her eyes widen as she gasps in shock. Toriel sees herself in the mirror, but she looked much different. It seems that she has grown taller, her horn and wings have grown bigger, her once slim figure has taken a motherly figure as her mane and tail flow in a nonexistent breeze as she stares at her new reflection.

"T-This is m-me?" She asked. Twilight nodded.

"I-I-I..." Toriel's eyes roll back as she collapses onto to the ground.

"Mommy!" Chrysalis yells as she ran over to Toriel and hugs her. Toriel doesn't say anything as she breaths.

"Mommy..." Chrysalis sniffed as she nuzzles Toriel. Asriel turns into his alicorn form and carefully picks Toriel up. Chrysalis gasps in surprise and backs away in fear.

"A-asriel!" She said in fear. Asriel carefully sets Toriel down on the bed and looks at Chrysalis.

"Yes, Chrysalis, it's me." He sighs.

"You're so big!" Chrysalis yells as she backs away. Asriel looks away and sighs as he flaps his wings.

"I know, Chrysalis." He sighed. Chrysalis shakes a little, thinking some evil being has taken over him. Asriel sighs and shrinks back down to a colt and looks sad.

"I guess you don't want to be near me anymore, don't you, Chrysalis." He said. She curls up, knowing as a filly she can no longer defend herself. Asriel walks towards Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis?" He asked.

"D-don't hurt me..." Chrysalis stutters, scared. Asriel pulls Chrysalis into a hug.

"I would never hurt my sister." He said. She sniffles and hugs him back tightly. Asriel hugs her.

"I'm here, big brother is here." He said softly. She curls up into him, crying. Asriel hugs her slightly tighter.

"It's okay, your family's here there's no need to be sad." He said. Chrysalis nuzzles him, clinging to him.

"I love you big brother." She sniffed. Asriel nuzzles back.

"I love you too, little sister." He said. Chrysalis snuggles against Asriel. Asriel smiles down at her.

"I just hope that moms okay, she is different." He said. Chrysalis nods and sniffed. Asriel sighs.

"Would you, like to see my other form?" He asked. Chrysalis shakes her head.

"It's okay, I'm fine now." She said as her wings buzzing happily as she smiles. Asriel Smiles and carries Chrysalis over to Toriel and lays against Toriel's chest along with Frisk.

"I'm really happy you guys adopted me..." She sniffed. "I love you all so much." She sniffed again. Unknowing to herself, Toriel drapes one of her larger wings over her children. Asriel notices the movement and smiles.

"We love you too, Chrysalis we all do." He said. The ex changeling queen buries her face into asriel's chest, hugging him tight. Asriel is surprised by Chrysalis's hug, then smiles and hugs her back. Asriel yawns as he has fallen asleep alongside frisk as he snuggles Chrysalis. Chrysalis curls against Asriel as she too, falls asleep. Toriel curls around her three children.

"Arent they just cute?" Twilight asked Asgore. Asgore nods.

"That they are." He said. Toriel has a smile on her face as she slept.

Toriel grunts and opens her eyes. She lifts her head and looks around. She sees her three children snuggling against each other and her and she warmly smiles. The foals stay close to her. Toriel warmly smiles as she nuzzles them. Her three children snuggle and mumble in their sleep. Toriel smiles and slowly gets off the bed slowly, as to not disturb her children. Chrysalis whimpered in her sleep from Toriel's movement. Toriel stops and looks at Chrysalis.

"Mamma..." Chrysalis mumbles through her little snores. Toriel warmly smiles and nuzzles Chrysalis. Chrysalis opens her eyes. Toriel was warmly smiling at her.

"Morning, Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis nuzzles Toriel back. She hugs Toriel around the neck.

"I love you, mommy." She said, blushing. Toriel smiles.

"I love you too, Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis hugs her tighter. Toriel places a hoof around Chrysalis and hugs her lightly. Chrysalis smiles.

"Cuddles?" She asks, smiling at Toriel. Toriel smiles and nods, cuddling Chrysalis. Chrysalis curled up into Toriel's chest.

"Having a mommy is really nice." She said. Toriel nods.

"And having a family to take care of you is even better." she pointed out. Chrysalis nods.

"I'm happy to be a filly again, too!" Chrysalis giggles. Toriel chuckles and nods.

"There is one thing that's on my mind, why did I change?" She asked. Chrysalis shrugs.

"I dunno! I'm just so happy." she nuzzles Toriel's cheek. "I've always wanted a family." She said. Toriel warmly smiles and nuzzles back. Then notices something on Chrysalis.

"Hey chrysalis, did you get any paint on you? Because I see a bright blue spot on your cetin." She asked. Chrysalis tilts her head.

"What's paint?" She asked. Toriel points to a bright blue spot on Chrysalis's chest.

"Do you know when this happened?" She asked. Chrysalis shakes her head. Toriel tilts her head in confusion.

"You sure?" She asked. Chrysalis moans.

"Yes mom!" she said slightly annoyed. Toriel slightly frowns.

"Okay, there no need for that mood, young lady." She said. Chrysalis giggles.

"Sorry, it's a pet peeve....if I answer somepony a question then they ask again after I answer them...sorry, mamma" she said . Toriel's expression softens.

"oh, I can't stay mad at you, I always have a soft heart." She said. Chrysalis smiles and blushes.

"Momma?" She asked. Toriel looks down at Chrysalis.

"Yes, Chrysalis?" She asked.

"I....I wanna go to school." Chrysalis blushes a bit more. Toriel is surprised by Chrysalis's answer.

"A-Are you sure?" She asked. Chrysalis looks down, her ears flattening against her head.

"A-Asriel and F-Frisk can help me...I know ponies will hate me...but I wanna show them I'm not...me anymore..." She sniffed. Toriel pulls Chrysalis into a hug.

"Of course you can go to school, I'm sure that they will be overly happy that you're going." She said.

"Not the other ponies...." Chrysalis sighs. "They'll hate me..." she said, beginning to tear up. Toriel hugs her slightly tighter, laying her head against Chrysalis.

"Shhh, it's ok, mommies here." She said. Chrysalis hugs back even tighter.

"I don't know what to do, mommy...." she sniffed. Toriel hums a soft little tune to try and calm chrysalis down.

"I-I'm scared..." Chrysalis clings to Toriel. Toriel nuzzles Chrysalis.

"I know sweetie. I know. But Frisk went to school and she had fun, even made friends on the first day." She pointed out.

"But Im not just any Changeling, mommy! I'm the one who hurt so many ponies!" Chrysalis starts to cry. Toriel hugs her slightly tighter and hums a soft tune.

"Shhh, everything will be okay. " She said softly. Chrysalis slowly came to calm down, reduced to sniffles.

"I love you mommy..." Chrysalis buries her face in Toriel's fur. Toriel warmly smiles at chrysalis.

"I love you too, Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis sniffs and snuggles against Toriel. Toriel looks down at her and nuzzles her.

"Sorry I got your fur wet with my crying, mommy..." Chrysalis sniffed, wiping her eyes. Toriel shakes her head.

"No no, it's fine Chrysalis." She said.

"Okay.....Mamma I'm hungry." Chrysalis curls up into Toriel. Toriel nods.

"Let's get some breakfast." She said.

"Can you carry me?" Chrysalis asked. Toriel warmly smiles and nods, holding Chrysalis close.

'Sure, Chrysalis." She said.

"Thanks mommy." Chrysalis smiles.

"Should we wake up the others for breakfast?" Toriel asks. Chrysalis nods.

"Hey, mommy? You made me younger than Asriel and Frisk, right?" She asked. Toriel looks down at her.

"Well, when I casted the spell, I made you young, but I didn't know how young, I think I made you older than Asriel and frisk, making you the bigger sister." She said.

"Awe, okay...heh...I called Asriel my big brother, too." She blushes from embarrassment. Toriel chuckles.

"It's okay Chrysalis, there's no need to be embarrassed." She said, just as Celestia walks in. Chrysalis eeps and jumps behind Toriel.

"Mommy..." She said, scared.

"Good morning, Toriel, Chrysalis." Celestia said as she scrunched her nose as she said Chrysalis. Toriel looks over at Celestia and smiles.

"Oh, Celestia, good morning!" She said.

"How are you doing?" Celestia asked. Chrysalis whimpers. Toriel hears Chrysalis's whimper, causing her to look at her. Chrysalis runs under the bed, hoping she wasn't seen. Celestia frowns.

"Why did she just run under the bed?" She asked. Toriel is worried. She looks over at Celestia.

"I don't know, let me go and check on her." Toriel walks over to where Chrysalis went. "Chrysalis?" She asked, worried.

"Make Celestia leave....please mommy I'm scared..." Chrysalis said, shaking. Toriel is worried. She walks back to Celestia. Toriel is worried. She walks back to Celestia.

"Celestia, would you mind... would you mind if you, wait outside, you're scaring Chrysalis." She said. Celestia laughs.

"I scare Chrysalis?" She chuckles. Toriel frowns.

"That's not a laughing matter." She said.

"Well, it is kind of funny if you think about it." Celestia chuckles again. Chrysalis whimpers.

"Mommy, make her leave..." She sniffs. Toriel's frown deepens.

"Celestia." She warned.

"Yes?" Celestia asks. Chrysalis whimpers continue.

"Mommyyyyyy....." She whined.

"I think it's best if you leave, Celestia." Toriel said.

"I came to talk with Twilight." Celestia answers. Chrysalis' whimpers turn to soft cries. Toriel hears Chrysalis crying.

"Chrysalis!" Toriel said in worry as she rushes over to Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis, mommies here. i'm here Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis is curled up under the bed. Toriel looks over at Celestia.

"You better make it quick." She said. Celestia nods.

"Where is she?" she asks. Toriel was about to say something when Twilight walks in.

"Ah, Twilight!" Celestia smiles and trots over to her. Chrysalis is hyperventilating from under the bed. Toriel stands next to the bed.

"Chrysalis, sweetie, it's me, mommy." She said. Chrysalis crawls out and tightly clings to Toriel. Toriel hugs Chrysalis.

"Shhh, i'm here, mommies here." She said softly. Chrysalis decided it is best she stays by Toriel at all times. Toriel places a wing over Chrysalis as she nuzzles her.

"Shh, I'm here." Toriel said. Chrysalis buries herself in Toriel's fur. Toriel hums a soft tune, trying to calm Chrysalis down.

"Protect me, mommy...." Chrysalis sniffed. Toriel nuzzles Chrysalis again.

"I will, Chrysalis, I will." She promised. Chrysalis tightly hugs Toriel's foreleg. Toriel brings Chrysalis close to her chest and hugs her close.

"C-can we go get breakfast now, mommy?" Chrysalis asked. Toriel nods.

"Sure, Chrysalis." She said. Chrysalis smiles and wraps her legs around Toriel's neck. Toriel smiles, nuzzling her as she wakes up Asriel, Frisk, and Asgore. Frisk opens her eyes slightly, but stays still as she is being held by Asriel.

"Morning mommy and Chryssie." She said. Toriel warmly smiles.

"Morning Frisk, Asriel, Asgore." She said.

"Morning mother." Asriel yawned.

"Morning honey." Asgore said as he rolls over and sits up. Toriel smiles as Asgore stretched.

"Morning Asgore." She said. Asgore slowly makes his way over to Toriel and kisses Chrysalis on the head.

"How's my baby girl doing?" He asked. Toriel looks a little sad

"She had a little run in with Celestia, and she hid under the bed, whimpering. I managed to calm her down, but she's still scared." She said. Chrysalis nods.

"Aww, come here." Asgore smiles and takes Chrysalis and holds her. "It's gonna be okay. Your mom can take Celestia if she tries anything." Asgore said as he hugs her close. Toriel nods in agreement.

"I'll protect you, no matter what, just like how I'll protect my family, even our newest coming family member." She said. Chrysalis goings to Asgore.

"Promise, daddy?" She asked. Asgore nods.

"Of course, sweeties." He said, kissing her head. Toriel smiles.

"Now, shall we get some breakfast?" She asked. Toriel smiles and places Asriel on her back as he looks around sleepily. She looks over at Chrysalis.

"Chrysalis, want to be with me, or Asgore?" She asked. Chrysalis whimpered slightly as she remained clinging to Asgore. Toriel is worried.

"Chrysalis, what's wrong?" She asked worrying. She doesn't answer and clings tighter to Asgore.

"Chrysalis, there's no need to be scared, we'll protect you, no matter what. Even from, Celestia." Toriel promised. Chrysalis still remains quiet, hiding her face in Asgore's chest.

"Momm?" Frisk pulls slightly on Toriel's tail. "What's wrong with Chryssie?" She asked. Toriel looks down at Frisk.

"Chrysalis had a little run in with Celestia and she's scared do to it." She said.

"Do what?" Frisk asked.

"I don't know, she was just scared when she saw Celestia." Toriel said.

"Oh..." Frisk said. Frisk hugs Toriel's foreleg. "Breakfast?' She asked. Toriel nuzzles Frisk and nods.

"Sure." She said. They follow Toriel out to the dining hall. Princess Luna was eating at the table, but didn't notice them walk in. With a giggle, Frisk runs up to Luna and hugs her.

"Hi, big sister!" She yelled happily. Luna is surprised as she drops her fork. She looks down and sees Frisk and smiles widely.

"Morning, Frisk." She said. Frisk nuzzles Luna and hugs her.

"Morning Luna!" She said happily. Luna smiles and hugs back. Chrysalis hides behind Asgore's neck. Toriel see a Chrysalis duck behind Asgore.

"Chrysalis? What's wrong?" She asked. Chrysalis points to the spear holding guards by the door. Toriel looks over and sees the guards.

"Chrysalis, their just the guards, their not going to hurt you." She said.

"P-p-promise, mommy?" Chrysalis asked as she covers her head with her hooves. Toriel warmly smiles and nods.

"I promise. Want what hug?" She asked. Chrysalis nods.

"Yes, please, mommy..." She sniffed. Toriel warmly smiles and hugs Chrysalis lightly. Chrysalis hugs back.

"I-I love you..." She said. Toriel nuzzles her.

"I know, Chrysalis, I know." She said. Chrysalis clings to Toriel's leg.

"I really love you, mamma..." She said. Toriel warmly smiles and nuzzles her again. Chrysalis smiles. Toriel holds her close to her chest.

"I'm hungry." Chrysalis giggles. Toriel chuckles and places Chrysalis down.

"Then let us get some breakfast." She said.

"Wh-where do we sit, mommy?" Chrysalis asked curiously.

"You could sit next to me, Chrysalis." Toriel said.

"Okay." Chrysalis smiles. Toriel warmly smiles as she sits next to Luna, who was happily chatting with Frisk. Chrysalis sits in Toriel's lap and pulls Toriel's tail over herself to conceal her body. Frisk nuzzles Luna's chest. Toriel is confused as she looks down at Chrysalis. Luna warmly smiles and nuzzles back. Chrysalis curls up.

"I don't wanna be seen..." She sniffed. Toriel sighs slightly.

"Chrysalis, I know you're scared, but how are you going to make friends if your afraid of everything?" She pointed out.

"Because everything hates me..." Chrysalis whimpers. "I'm tiny now, momma...I can't stop anybody if they try to hurt me..." she said. Toriel frowns slightly.

"If they want to hurt you, they have to go through me." She said.

"I know, but...what if you aren't there..." Chrysalis countered. Toriel thinks.

"Well, you still have Asriel, Frisk, and Asgore." She pointed out.

"But they aren't always gonna be there, momma..." Chrysalis said. She hides in Toriel's tail and then Luna notices her. Luna tilts her head and looks down at Frisk.

"Hey Frisk, who's the changeling?" She asked.

"That's Chrysalis! My sister!" Frisk said happily.

"Wait, what!? The same Chrysalis that injured my sister!? The same Chrysalis that captured Cadence!?" Luna yelled.

"Uh...the only Chrysalis there is..." Frisk made an awkward expression.

"Where is she!?" Luna yelled. Chrysalis then darted from Toriel's lap and hides under the table, tears stinging her eyes.

"Luna calm yourself!" Toriel snapped. Chrysalis whimpers, catching Luna's attention.

"There you are!" Luna yells, until Toriel blocks her way, angry.

"You shall not harm my daughter!" She yelled. Chrysalis starts to cry and runs out of the room. Toriel sees Chrysalis run off crying.

"Chrysalis, wait!" She runs off after her.

"Luna you made my sister cry..." Frisk said, frowning.

"But she's the one who hurt ponies, who trapped the guards, even injure my sister!" Luna pointed out.

"She's changed, Luna..." Frisk said.

"How, how should I know if she's changed, for all I know, she could be the same Chrysalis!" Luna said. Toriel enters the room.

"Chrysalis, sweetie?" She asked. Chrysalis was crying from under the bed.

"She's a filly, Luna! We adopted her! She's scared! Did you not just see her running of crying?" Frisk asked, looking down. "If you can accept me, why not her?" She asked. Toriel stops right next to the bed.

"Chrysalis, sweetie?" She asked again. Luna looks away and sighs.

"Look, I'm sorry Frisk, it's just that she ruined Shining Armor's weeding, trapped the guards, and injured my sister. That's why I have a distrust with her." She sighed.

"I know, but listen." Frisk said as Chrysalis could be heard crying down the hall. "Please, sis...give her a chance...she's sorry for what she did." She said, hugging Luna.

"Why did i think it was a good idea to leave the hive!?" Chrysalis hits herself on the head. "I'm so stupid!" She yelled. Luna sighs and nuzzles Frisk.

"Okay, I'll give her a chance." She said. Toriel is saddened.

"Chrysalis, please, come out." She said.

"She's really scared, Luna..." Frisk said.

"No!" Chrysalis snapped. "It's not safe!" She yelled.

"Chrysalis Dreemurr! Come out from there, right now!" Toriel said in a upset motherly voice.

"No!" Chrysalis cries. "I wanna go back to the hive...I can't do this! I...I don't belong!" She wailed. Toriel uses her magic to teleport Chrysalis to her and pulls Chrysalis into a light hug, close to her chest. Chrysalis pulls away.

"I'm sorry...this isn't right for me..." She sniffed, looking down.

"Chrysalis, I know your scared, just please, don't be." Toriel said softly.

"It's hard!" Chrysalis cries. "Look at me, I can't do anything to defend myself, mom!" She wailed. Toriel hugs her lightly again.

"What do I do..." Chrysalis asked.

"The first thing you should do is calm down, Chrysalis. Freaking out would only make things worse." Toriel said as she nuzzles her.

"I'm sorry, mommy..." Chrysalis whimpers. Toriel pulls Chrysalis close to her and hugs her lightly, humming a soft tune. Luna then walks in.

"Toriel..." Luna said. Chrysalis sees Luna then darts under the bed again.

"What are you doing here, luna?" Toriel asked.

"I, came to apologize. My actions earlier weren't right." Luna said.

"And?" Frisk asked from atop Luna's back.

"And, I would like to, accept Chrysalis into the family." Luna said.

"Liar!" Chrysalis yells from under the bed.

"Chrysalis, I've known Luna ever since I came here, I know that she is sorry." Toriel said.

"I don't trust her!" Chrysalis glares up at Luna from under the bed. Toriel frowns.

"Chrysalis, come out here. Luna is sorry for what she said." She said.

"No!" Chrysalis backs up against the wall. Toriel sighs and looks at Luna.

"Would you give us some time?" She asked. Luna nods and looks at Frisk.

"Want to come with me, or stay here, Frisk?" She asked.

"I'll come with you, sis." Frisk said, nuzzling Luna. Luna nods and walks out the door. Toriel looks back at the bed.

"Okay, their gone now, Chrysalis." She said.

"If I come out you're taking me back to my hive!" Chrysalis yells. Toriel gasps.

"Chrysalis, don't say that!" She said.

"I was stupid to let myself be adopted!" Chrysalis hits her head on the floor. Toriel frowns, teleports Chrysalis again, and pulls her into a hug. Chrysalis says nothing more as her cries continue. Toriel holds her close to her chest as she hums a soft tune. Chrysalis clings tightly to Toriel. Toriel holds Chrysalis close as she drapes a wing over her.

"I j-just wanna fit in, m-mommy..." Chrysalis sniffed. Toriel nuzzles her.

"I know, Chrysalis, I know." She said softly. Chrysalis hugs tighter. Toriel resumes humming the soft tune to try and calm Chrysalis down. Chrysalis doesn't let go.

"You love me, right? Mommy?" She asked. Toriel warmly smiles.

"Of course, Chrysalis." She said softly in a motherly voice.

"I love you, too..." Chrysalis sniffed. Toriel drapes both her wings over Chrysalis.

'Where's daddy? I miss him..." Chrysalis asked.

"He's back in the dining room. Shall we head back?" Toriel asked. With a sigh, Chrysalis nods. Toriel folds her wings back, but keeps Chrysalis close. Chrysalis hides her face in Toriel's fur. Toriel walks down the hallway, holding Chrysalis close. Chrysalis shakily looks around, scared, but stays close to Toriel. Toriel hums a soft song, almost like a quiet lullaby. Chrysalis yawns ends up falling asleep. Toriel warmly smiles as she looks down at Chrysalis, who snuggles against her as they entered the dining room. Toriel sees Celestia and Twilight as she walks towards her family.

"Aww, did our little girl fall asleep?" Asgore smiles and nuzzles Chrysalis softly. Toriel nods.

"She did. Crying must have made her tired." She said.

"Aww..." Asgore then kisses her head, earning a smile from her.

"Daddy..." Chrysalis mumbles in her sleep. Toriel warmly smiles.

"Our little girl." She said. Asgore gently takes Chrysalis in his magic and pulls her into his lap and holds her.

"Yes indeed." Toriel looks over at Celestia.

"I hope you know that we still love her." She said. Celestia nods.

"Uh huh." She said. Frisk giggled as she sat atop Luna's head. Toriel frowns slightly.

"You don't sound happy, Celestia. " She said. Luna smiles as she looks up at Frisk.

"As much as you say you love her, I'm still not comfortable having her here." Celestia said, frowning. "Frisk is one thing. I like Frisk, but Chrysalis is a whole different story." She said.

"Well, then, if anything bad happens, we'll take full responsibility, but as of now, she's our daughter. As you know, we've adopted her." Asgore added. Toriel nods in agreement.

"That is true, and there's nothing you can't do to tear that apart." She said. Celestia sighs heavily.

"How do you feel about this, Luna?" Celestia asked, glaring at Chrysalis as she sleeps.

"Tia, I am like you with Chrysalis, not very happy. But, I am willingly able to give her a chance. Besides, she may be good after all." Luna said.

"Good!?" Celestia barks. "May I remind you she struck me down with one shot!?" "She yells. Celestia groans and rubs her temples. "I've got a villain staying at the castle, how wonderful!" She yelled. Chrysalis mumbles and wakes from the yelling.

"Mommy...who's yelling?" She yawned.

"Sister, calm yourself! Tis is not like yourself." Luna said.

"It's just Celestia sweetie, Luna is trying to calm her down." Toriel said, just as Sunset Shimmer walks in, yawning. Chrysalis clings to Asgore, clearly afraid.

"I just don't want her here." Celestia sighs again. Luna looks over and sees that Chrysalis is afraid.

"Sister, now look at Chrysalis, would some sort of villain be afraid like some poor lost foal?" She asked.

"She's queen of the changelings, sister! You know how they are, especially her of all of them!" Celestia yelled.

"Ugh! That's it!" Chrysalis snaps. "I'm going back to the hive and never coming back!" she jumps down from Asgore's lap.

"Chrysalis, wait, if you're going, I'm coming with you." Toriel said. Chrysalis shakes her head.

"No...I'm meant to be alone..." She sniffed. Toriel frowns.

"NO, you're my daughter, and I will never leave you." She said.

"I'm just creating stress by being here...I know you love me...but I want you to be happy...me being here is ruining it. I'm sorry..." Chrysalis' horn lights green and she teleports away. Toriel is shocked as she collapses to her knees, tears in her eyes, not noticing that Celestia is standing right next to her.

"Even if she is true in saying she's good, she'll never fit in...it's best she goes." Celestia says softly. Asgore hugs Toriel. Toriel grits her teeth as her mane started to flare up like a out of control fire.

"It's all your fault..." she said quietly.

"My fault? I did nothing but state my opinion on the matter." Celestia said. Toriel turn around to face her, tears streaming down her face.

"Stating your opinion!? You're the reason for this, I thought you where my friend, Celestia, but I guess I was wrong!" Toriel breaks from Asgore's grip and runs down the hall, crying. Asgore sighs and shakes his head then follows after Toriel.

"Toriel!" He yells. Toriel teleports again as Luna follows Asgore.

"Your sister is quite stubborn, Luna." Asgore said bitterly. Luna sighs and looks down saddened.

"I know. If only she could see that Chrysalis was not evil anymore, but her mind was clouded by the past." She sighed.

"Sis where are you going?" Frisk asks as she comes out into the hall and hugs Luna's rear right leg.

"I'm going to have a little talk with Celestia." Luna said.

"Okay...guess you want me to leave you be then?" Frisk asked saddened.

"You can come with me if you'd like." Luna said.

"Okay!' Frisk said happily as she jumped on Luna's back. Luna chuckles and walks back. When re-entered the dining room, she frowned slightly at Celestia.

"Sister." She said.

"Yes, Luna?" Celestia asked.

"Why, why did you do that. Now because of that, you may just lost a valuable friend." Luna said.

"Friend?" Celestia asked with a blank expression. "Chrysalis is no friend." She said.

"Tia, why are you acting like this? This isn't like you." Luna said. Celestia sighs.

"I don't want Chrysalis here." She said.

"Sister please, reconsider this. If Chrysalis becomes our friend, we can open up friendships for changelings, and you know that all changelings are not evil." Luna said.

"I will come to terms with the changelings, yes, but, as I said, Chrysalis is another story." Celestia said flatly. Luna is saddened and sighs.

"Sister..." She said.

"I'm sorry Luna. I won't subject my ponies to a possible threat." Celestia sighs and leaves the dinning room. Luna sighs and lays her head on the table, a tear falling from her face. Chrysalis had her head low as she arrived back at the hive, thinking of nothing but Toriel.

"I'm sorry, mother..." She said softly.
