Chapter 2 - Future Accepted. Heartache and Countdown start... - Page 24.

(Countdown:1 week and 6 day's remain.)

Toriel starts to leave the kitchen, only for Gaster to speak to her, sounding surprised. "You've accepted your future? I am surprised, well what do you intend to do now?"

Toriel sighed. "I-I don't know...My children are upset, they ran to my room and Asgore left the house."

She looks down at the floor full of worry and wondering if she can possibly fix any of this. Gaster gets up and walks to her and places his right hand on her left shoulder. "I will go and be with your children. You look for Asgore."

Toriel feels hurt by her choices. Toriel feeling stressed. She says to him. "Were you really trying to change my future?"

Gaster replied. "Yes and I am surprised that you accepted the one originally shown to you before. But as I thought, it was most likely unavoidable. Every event you experienced up until now proved just that." He pats her shoulder.

Toriel replied. "My last moments with him are only going to hurt us both. It is already hurting me...I am still scared of this future. But I am tired of all the suffering. I do not want to be responsible for everyone dying, am I really that important?" She looks in his direction.

Gaster says with a smile. "You are very important. You always have been, the symbol of hope or not. Do not forget that fact Toriel."

Toriel replied in a sad tone. "I will not be a queen anymore, what will i be? What will happen to everyone here? What will-"

Gaster says in a serious voice. "Toriel, think about that later, Asgore needs to be found."

Toriel feeling her heart ache. Toriel leaves her house. Having this sudden feeling, a feeling she remembers feeling at the mountains.

She runs out and calls out for Asgore. "ASGORE!!! ASGORE!!?" She runs throughout the town, looking everywhere. She bumps into Papyrus. "TORIEL!? WHAT IS GOING ON?"

Toriel replied. "I am looking for Asgore, have you seen him!?"

Papyrus rubbed his chin and he says. "NO, WHY DO YOU ASK?"

Toriel sighed. "I JUST HAVE TO FIND HIM! IT'S IMPORTANT!"

Papyrus speaks and says. "I COULD GET SANS AND HAVE EVERYONE WE KNOW ON A SEARCH PARTY!"

Toriel dreading the fact she'll have to tell them now as well. She knows she would have too, sooner or later. She replied. "Yes, Please do!"

Papyrus starts dialing Sans's number. Toriel runs off towards the park, a place Asgore likes to go too sometimes to relax. On her way there, she trips and falls on something!? She hears muffled sounds. She gets up to see a male Temmie. She replied. "Oh i am sorry! Are you alright?"

He replied to her. "Yeah, I am fine!" Toriel, surprised by another Temmie with perfect grammar.

She looks and sees glasses on the ground. "Oh, are these yours? They are not broken are they?"

He picks them up and checks them. "No, just a little bit of dirt. But it is fine. You look stressed, are you alright?"

Toriel replied. "I am looking for Asgore, have you seen him?"

The Temmie replies. "Big and Built? Pink shirt with white flowers?"

Toriel nods with a smile. They point behind themselves. She picks them up with a hug. "OH THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!"

The Temmie says. "Hey, you're squeezing me lady!"

Toriel gasps. "Oh I am sorry!"

She gently places him down. he straightens his glasses. "It's fine, just give me a warning next time alright?"

Toriel nods and before leaving she asks The Temmie. "What is your name? Let me guess it's Temmie!"

He says with an odd smile and chuckled briefly afterwards. "No, not really.."
