A/N: This is my first fanfic, wooo mark today as the day I lost my fanfic virginity. I don't own undertale and you should probably finish the game before reading this. I hope you enjoy it, let me know if you've got some ideas for me to write in, ideas on formatting (and how to do it), and let me know if you like it. Thanks for reading, or just glancing, both are appreciated.
It hasn't quite been a year since the monsters have been free, but it has been long enough for them to build their homes, schools, librarbies, and even a new Grillby's. Asgore figured that their new little monster town should be called "New New New Home", but Toriel had another (and better) idea, "Ebottown", which was what it came to be known as.
Ebottown was at the base of Mount Ebott (surprise surprise, because the name surely didn't give it away) and it took some time for some of the monsters to adjust to the temperate climate since they were so used to how extreme the temperature was in their previous homes in Snowdin and Hotland. Eventually everything fell into its place though; the kids went to a school for monsters and humans that you helped to enstate as ambassador where Toriel was a school teacher, and you also helped the adult monsters so they were also able to get jobs alongside the local humans.
Sans had his hot dog stands in random places in Ebottown and in the nearby human city, and so did the Nice Cream guy. Since there was no more royal guard, Papyrus decided to be the security officer for the new monster and human school and since there was really no danger, he took it as the opportunity to become friends with all of the little human children and their families. Undyne opened her own successful fighting dojo and Alphys had her own lab where she worked on technology for monsters and humans such as hot fridges, upgrading phones, and machines to help speed up the process of building the new town. Mettaton had his own hotel again in Ebottown for humans from across the world who wanted to visit the monsters, and also had his own tv show which was fastly becoming popular amongst the humans. Sometimes Napstablook would be featured on the show for his music.
Asgore didn't have anything official going on other than being referred to as one of the leaders of the monsters alongside Toriel being as how they were King and Queen before. He liked to take his time and drink tea, getting to know the humans and mingle with the monsters, and gardening on his down time.
Flowey was around too, you couldn't just leave him down there all alone, knowing that he was Asriel, even if he was soulless; it hurt too much to leave him to that kind of fate. He was in a little pot that you sometimes carried around, would hang around in your room, one of your friends would baby-sit him, or he would relax in a garden somewhere (typically when you were all tired of his shenanigans). He would try to scare and threaten your friends and you, only when he was in a good mood, but no one took him seriously. Sometimes when he was alone with you, he'd become the depressed little flower that you spared and he'd beg you to reset, ask you why you spared him and why you were so kind, he just couldn't understand you. And sometimes, he was able to channel his past self as Asriel, but the times that happened was few and far between.
And then there was you. You decided to take up Toriels offer and live with her, she seemed like the best choice because you lived with a foster home before you fell underground and they didn't care about you and you didn't really want to think of that past life now that your life was turning around. You went to school like the other monster kids and humans and on your free time, you'd hang out with your friends and do whatever they were doing. Most nights you slept at Toriels, but occasionally you'd sleep over at Sans and Papyrus's, or Undyne and Alphys's, and often at Asgores. You started to sleep over at Asgores more often until you pretty much spent equal time at both houses. You started to call them "Mom" and "Dad" because that felt more natural as your little group of monster friends started to become more of a family.
Everything was perfect, if someone had told you that you had this kind of lifestyle a year ago, you wouldn't have believed a word of it. As you reflected on how everything has changed, you smiled as the soothing thoughts brought you sweet dreams as you slept.
Your nose filled with the smell of what seemed to be bacon and pancakes. Toriel had been experimenting with human cook books and you got the wonderful opportunity to try all of the concoctions she made. At least this was a good food morning, unlike when she experimented with kimchi and sardines. You started to rustle and stretch before you opened your eyes to Flowey hovering over you doing one of his creepy faces again and showing off some of his "friendliness pellets". You yelp back in surprise, but definitely not in fear.
"DIE" the pellets came shooting towards you as he laughs maniacally, but you easily dodged them, even when you were in bed. This was one of Floweys lamer attempts to scare you. "Ha ha, you're only delaying the inevitable. You're gonna die, and you'll have to reset, taking away everyone's happiness, everyones happy ending AGAIN. Just like you always do."
You got out of bed and made your way towards the door mumbling "Uh huh, sure, whatever you say."
"You should take me more seriously, I know you can't wait for all this to end again, just reset already."
You stop with your hand on the door handle "For a second there, I thought you were a grape instead of a flower."
"Huh?"
You slowly turn around and look at him in the eye "What with all this wining you're doing."
You made your way downstairs in your PJ's while Flowey groaned, yelled, and threatened behind you. Seemed like he was in a good mood today.
"Good Morning my child, I made you bacon and waffles, apparently a human favorite, right?" Toriel greets you with a warm hug like she does every morning.
You nod and smile "'Morning Mom, smells good." You sit at the table and start to dig in.
"So Frisk, what do you have planned today?"
You look out the window, looks like one of those sunny but cold days, one of your favorites. "I'm gonna help Dad plant some new flowers, then Undyne is gonna train me, and tonight Papyrus wanted to show me something."
"Sounds like a busy day my child, I hope you have fun." She smiles at you with the kind of smile that could warm even Flowey's heart (if he had one).
You smile back, and sheepishly ask, "What will you be doing today Mom?"
"How sweet of you to think of me. I'll be here grading homework and reading. Have you heard of the book 'The Martian'? It's very fascinating."
You smile back and breathe a quick, short, and heavy puff through your nose, almost like a small laugh, seems like a typical Toriel day.
"Sounds like it'll be a good day today."
You smile at each other, the delicious food warming your belly and the loving atmosphere warming your soul, and you continue with your breakfast. When you finish, you go upstairs, change into one of your many striped sweaters, pat Flowey on the head telling him to have a good day while he threatens you, then go downstairs to put on a jacket. You hug and kiss Toriel goodbye, and go out the door.
