"That cream pie was nice, wasn't it?" I asked Frisk as we both left the kitchen, heading towards our bedroom.

Unfortunately, Mom placed another bed from that room that's usually under renovation right into mine, she placed it far away from my bed.

"Fortunately, Toriel found another bed, so I don't have to sleep with you or with her. One thing you both have in common is that you stink so much it's unbelievable!"

"I will not let you sleep if you continue with this! For the last time, I don't smell..."

"It's so weird you don't even have a bathroom in this place, but I'll wash myself somewhere in the RUINS then, far away from you!"

"Why far away?"

"Because you look like a pervert."

"Just get in the room smartass." I opened the door and held it for her, but she wouldn't want to enter first.

Frisk just turned her away towards the wall, with her arms crossed, rejecting my polite gesture!

I caved into her provocations, turned on the light, and jumped straight into my sweet soft bed.

I couldn't be happier, to be honest.

I don't remember when was the last time I ate and slept this well, considering I was going back and forth to reach this hell of a worldline with Frisk still alive.

Although Mom wasn't so shocked anymore, she was still pretty uneasy around me and will probably notify Sans early in the morning about my arrival.

I hope I don't have to fight her again because I hate going through that part over and over again, I feel so annoyed by even talking to her. Sans was definitely my biggest source of entertainment during all of my ventures in the Underground.

Sweet memories.

"Uhm, Chara, is it okay if I sleep in these clothes?" Frisk interrupted my thoughts.

"Yeah sure, Mom has yet to wash the clothes for us."

"Okay Chara." It seemed like something was on her mind, could it be...

There was a lot of silence, the light was still turned on, and she didn't lay in her bed yet.

"Can you please turn off the light?"

"Uhhhh, uhm, sure. But I have a question for you, Chara." She said as she was turning off the light.

"Go ahead."

"Why do you call Toriel your Mom? You seem to be closer than I thought." She got to her bed.

"Well, it's just a force of habit, I dunno. She was the closest to a mother figure I ever had in my life, so I might as well call her mom, you know."

"When you say it like that... Maybe I can relate to you a little bit..."

There were solid five minutes of silence before she decided to ask me something again, I was trying to fall asleep, so it caught me pretty off-guard.

"Do the lights have to stay turned off?" She asked shily.

"Well, yes, the electricity in this place is quite expensive, and I can't sleep unless there's no light at all."

"Can I then bring my bed closer to yours?"

Well, this is an interesting turn of events.

"Are you sure you can even push that thing?"

"I will try, but your help is also welcome."

"Whatever you say. You can also sleep with me if you're that scared of the dark."

"I'm not scared of the dark! What are you talking about?"
