Author's Note: Howdy! I was inspired out of my boredom recently to start a new fanfiction, (yes, I know, I probably should get to continuing my other fanfics, but I'm facing writer's block in those as of current, so deal with it. 😊), and what better fanfiction than an Asriel x (female) Frisk fanfiction? Am I right? 😉 Anyway, so as stated 2 sentences ago, for this fanfiction, Frisk will be a FEMALE, so yeah. Here we go!

(Also, I don't know how often I will be able to update this fanfiction, as I don't know if our house will lose power because of rain from hurricane Harvey or when school starts back up again once the hurricane blows over, so yeah, keep that in mind).

I stood at the edge of the cliff, staring out at the scenery peacefully. My hair swayed along with the breeze gently, as I had my gaze fixed upon a little hole in Mt. Ebott.

Between the cliff I was on, there was a forest about 100 feet below me, reached by a thin walkway down the cliff. After about 5 miles, the forest reached Mt. Ebott.

The little hole, (which in reality is pretty big, but from my view, the hole is pretty tiny), I was looking at was where I had fallen about 4 years ago, back when I was 12. It still amazes me how much has changed since then.

Before then, I had lived in an orphanage, which kind of sucked. I mean, I was able to hold my own for the most part when I needed to, (which wasn't that often since I usually kept my head down and did my best to not bother anyone), but not having any loving family members to take care of me was something that I sorely missed. I should clarify that my parents died when I was 6, so I still have some memories of them, but nowadays it's getting harder and harder to remember what they were like, despite my best efforts.

Anyway, when I started hearing that kids began disappearing around Mt. Ebott, I felt the need to investigate the situation myself, and fell down. After I fell down, and went through my adventure in the underground, it should come as no surprise that I immediately said yes to Toriel's offer to take care of me. Ever since then, my life has been pretty amazing. I have no shortage of weird, (but cool), friends to hang out with, and an amazing mom, and future father, (Toriel and Asgore will be tying the knot in about a month). I'd hate to jinx it, but I could go as far to say that my life is perfect.

So, why is it that I feel like something is missing? After many days of going on solitary walks to what I believed to be a random place, (but always ending up back here, even though there is a closer entrance to the underground than here), I've realized that I have unfinished business. What that business is, I don't know yet.

Of course, this realization poses many problems for me. First of all, getting permission to go to the underground, (which I already know I won't get from Toriel, no matter if I explain my situation or not), is a no go.

Second of all, if I decide to disobey orders from Toriel, (assuming I asked her about it anyway), sneaking out of a house where 6 other people live, (sometimes more with guests), will prove to be the challenge of a lifetime. Forget the terrifying and mean caretaker with a stick up her ass from the orphanage, I wouldn't want to face Undyne's wrath when she catches me out of bed after I am sent to bed.

Third of all, with no one in the underground, getting supplies for the trip down will make trying to finish my unfinished business an impossible feat, that could only be completed if I was graced by a miracle, and I've had enough miracles within the last 4 years to give me reason to believe I won't have another one for a while.

Of course, I could just decide to let things be, but as of recent that's proved to be a difficult task. I'm being serious, I've lost sleep over this. If I don't deal with whatever fucking business I've got to deal with soon, it won't bode well for my health.

Being so lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice a presence appear next to me. It wasn't until he spoke, I snapped out of my thoughts.

"You know, it's dangerous to be danglin' your feet over the cliff like that."

I looked over to Sans, and smiled slightly. "What, you're going to turn into Toriel on me now? I'm not a child anymore."

Sans gave me a lopsided smile. "But, if I don't, Toriel will skin me to the bone."

I groaned. "Sans, that was pretty terrible. I don't even think that qualifies as a pun. I think you've lost your groove."

"Nah, you just don't have a sense of humor," Sans replied.

"Come on Sans, I don't even think Toriel would have laughed at that one, and we all know she laughs at almost all of your puns."

Sans seemed to think it over for a moment, "I guess you've got a point, kid."

"Yeah, well, I've got a lot more where that came from, skeleton. Now, what's your business with me? I don't think you would've found me unless you followed me," I stated.

"Actually, I've been following you the past couple of weeks, when you've been asking to go out on a walk out of the blue. Toriel asked me to follow you, just to make sure you were ok."

Why wasn't I surprised?

"Once I told her where you've been going, she's insisted that I follow you on all of your walks."

"So, she's worried that I'm going to go to the underground."

"Yep."

I sighed deeply. "I would've liked to know that I could have these walks in peace, but I guess I should've expected this considering this is Toriel we're talking about." I looked over to Sans to see him looking at me expectantly. "It's just, I feel like I have unfinished business in the underground. I don't know what it is, I just know that I need to go back."

"Toriel will never allow that."

"Do you think I was planning on telling her?"

"Knowing you, you would've told her even if you didn't want to. You have too much of a conscience, kiddo."

I chuckled. "Maybe you're right. All I know is, I need to finish whatever I've left unfinished. You have to understand, it bugs me nonstop. I can barely sleep anymore."

Sans nodded understandingly. I stared at Mt. Ebott wistfully, letting the silence do the talking for me.

"You know, I support you, kid. If you decide to go, you can at least go knowing that I will put in a bone for you!"

I playfully hit Sans in the arm. "Oh my god, Sans. This is not a time to use puns!"

He laughed at my reaction. "Come on, Frisk, I think it's time that I escort you home."

I raised my eyebrows skeptically. "Are you sure? Toriel will know that you told me everything."

"Don't worry, kid, I've got this under control."

!

"So, Frisk, I hear that you are currently Valedictorian. That's pretty cool!" Alphys gushed. I blushed slightly.

"Yeah, it's no big deal. I guess it helps when your mother is an accomplished teacher," I said looking over at Toriel.

"Oh, stop it, you're making me blush!" She exclaimed as she served Butterscotch-Cinnamon Pie for dessert. I immediately dug into the heavenly pie once she handed me my plate. Within seconds, I was finished.

"Now, Frisk, I won't tell—oh Frisk, what have I told you about waiting for everyone to have their slice before eating? For goodness sakes, child, you're 16 years old!" I smiled sheepishly at Toriel's scolding.

"Sorry?" I offered.

Toriel folded her arms. "Next time you'll just have to miss dessert," she grumbled as she took my plate away, before sitting down herself and eating her serving.

"Well, anyway, I was just telling you about that new anime I was watching, Frisk. It's amazing!" Undyne exclaimed. "And I would've never even seen it had Alphys not recommended it to me, right sweetie?" She asked. Alphys blushed a deep crimson.

"Y-yes U-Undyne!" She stuttered. I smiled in amusement at Alphys's flustered reaction.

"Dear, this pie is delicious," Asgore complimented. Toriel smiled.

"Oh, it's not that good, but thank you." As Toriel got up to take everyone's empty plates, I suddenly realized that Papyrus was missing.

"Where's Papyrus?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, I set Papyrus up with a friend of mine. They're on a date," Alphys spoke up. I blinked in surprise.

"Papyrus, on a date? On. A. Date?" I asked slowly.

Alphys nodded, giving me an expression saying, "Yeah, I know right?"

"Frisk, that's impolite," Toriel said.

"Mom, I didn't explicitly state that Papyrus was incapable of procuring a date for himself, I was only implying it. There's a big difference there," I explained.

Toriel shot me a, "Don't test me look," and I just shrugged my shoulders and stopped talking.

I then went to hear about everyone's days. Alphys has been working on a "new, incredibly awesome, secret invention" in her private laboratory. Undyne has started giving sword fighting lessons to the local military/defense group. Sans recently landed a gig (at a new club that Nabstablook opened up called, "Ghost Klub") for a comedy routine. Toriel is now a teacher at United High School, (the high school that I currently go to, it opened up a year after the monsters returned in response to the sudden inflation of students in the area). Asgore has also landed as principal of United High School. Papyrus has become a Spaghetti critic, and posts his thoughts on a blog called, "My thoughts on YOUR Spaghetti." He just recently reached a milestone of 5 total views on his first review. He has yet to have any views on his 6 reviews following his first one.

I quickly excused myself from the table, as to avoid being interrogated about my day. I headed straight for my room, and after taking a shower, felt a wave of fatigue hit me, finally deciding to go to bed. As I climbed under the covers, I couldn't help but take a moment to look out at the moon that was outside my window, causing a small smile to play on my lips. My eyes lingered on the moon a little bit longer before reality hit me and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
