Undertale Fallen Determination: Book 1

Chapter 11: New Friends

It's been over two years since I arrived at Gaster (sorry, Wingding) and Semi's home as their... at this point, I guess, as their permanent guest. Less than that since me and Wingding finally became friends. I'm now twelve years old, and Wingding is fourteen.

In those years, I have gotten a new outfit, though similar to my old one. I now preferred a green jacket over a white shirt, with brown cargo pants, not shorts, and new brown boots, with a fuzzy white top hem, and white puffs on the shoelace ends. It was a little girly, but I liked them, and it got chilly in Waterfall.

Wingding finally figured out how to teach me best, giving me time to figure things out, and explaining things that I don't understand in the simplest way possible. He also fully integrated sign language as one of my lessons, and for about a year now, has taken over my magic training.

And, every one to two weeks, I head over to the piano to practice. It used to be both me and Gaster, but I've become more confident in heading over by myself, knowing how to watch out for monsters. Semi also got me a music book full of songs the monsters wrote, so I can practice.

Today was one of these days. It was just me, book in one hand, umbrella in the other.

I was just turning the corner to the piano room (if you can call it that), and then I saw them.

Two monsters, a skeleton in a pink flowery dress, and a pink ghost monster (they look like bedsheet ghosts). They weren't playing the piano, but rather, they were just talking.

Here of all places, now. This better not become a regular spot for them, because then I would lose my chance to play the piano, one of my favorite things to do.

Well, they haven't noticed me yet. So I'll just turn around, and...

My foot hit a small rock, and I could hear it tapping the ground as it bounced away from me.

Shoot, I thought. Well, maybe they didn't hear that.

"Is someone there?" one of the monsters called out.

Of course they heard it.

Without another thought, I took off running, hoping to get away before they realized who I was. But very quickly, a blur of pink appeared in front of me, causing me to fall back onto the ground.

It was the ghost. How fast was she? (If it was a she. Monsters could be weird, and it was sometimes hard to tell.)

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to spook you," the ghost said. (Okay, it sounded like a she, so I figured it was a she.)

The skeleton girl (again, I assumed she was a girl) rounded the corner. "Hapi, what did you do?"

"I accidentally scared her," the ghost, who I assumed was Hapi.

I quickly got. "Whatever your planning to do with me, just know that I have magic, and I'm really good with it," I told them.

"Um... yes. We all have magic. I mean, we're monsters, right?" Hapi replied.

"Paranoid, isn't she?" the skeleton replied. (Also sounded like a girl. Okay, so she was probably a girl monster.)

Monsters... of course, they think I'm a monster, just like them. Okay, now I just need to get away from them, I thought. Then I replied, "yeah, monsters. We're all monsters. Now, I have to go."

"Wait, wait, wait, no need to be shy, darling" Hapi said, getting in my way again. "We won't bite."

Yeah, until you figure out I'm not a monster.

"Hey, Hapi, look," The skeleton pointed at the book in my arm.

"Piano?" Hapi replied. "You play the piano?"
