So if you couldn't tell from the title, I have a surprise for you: you're doing the neutral run! Why, you ask? Why, it's simple: I was a sneaky author. Each outfit actually represented a route, and you chose the second one, so the first story arc we're doing is neutral! MWAHAHA! Kk enjoy the story! 😙 (also gotta save MTT. He's to fabulous to die.)

     You looked out on the hallway on the other side. You stepped forwards, about to pass through, when-

     "My children? What are you doing?"

     Shit shit shit shit SHIT! She wasn't supposed to be back yet! Oooooh Boi. This is gonna be fun, you thought to yourself.

     "Uuuuhhhhhhh....."

     "No, do not try to explain. I know what you wish to do. But I cannot allow you to leave. Don't you see? If you leave, Asgore will kill you." Toriel said, closing the door with magic, "I cannot let you leave."

     "But we have to go!" Frisk said, "I have to go back home."

     "But this is your home now!" Toriel yelled, tears running down her face, "(Y/N), I thought you never wanted to go back. So why are you leaving?"

     "Tori- Mom, I want to be free. And if I'm stuck in the Underground, that still means I'm trapped. I'm never going to be truly free if I stay here." You say, your heart panted with guilt.

     "I see." Tori said, head downcast in a creepy manner. "Then I am sorry to have to do this, my children. But I can't let you leave!"

     Oh no, you think, she has her creepy face.

     Tori's hands lit up as fireballs appeared, and she started chucking  them at you and Frisk.

     "Prove to me!" She shouted, "Prove to me you are strong enough to survive!"

     You started to dodge, unsure what to do. You thought of just running, but then remembered Frisk. You snapped your head over to look at them, and saw thy had glowing yellow buttons in front of them. Some appeared in front of you, labeled

     Fight
💛Act
     Item
     Mercy

     You press Act, then Check.

     Toriel
     Attack     Defense
     *Just wants to protect you.

     You look over at Frisk. You didn't know what to do, and decided to just follow their lead. Frisk pressed Fight.

     You were unsure about their decision, but you really wanted to be free, right? Besides, a part of you felt that you could just go back anyways. You didn't know why, but after dodging Toriel's next attack, you attacked as well.

     It took a while, but soon you both had hit her HP to zero. She fell to the ground gasping, but smiling.

     "He... he... I guess... you are... strong... my children... stay... safe..." She gasped, before dissolving into dust.

     You stood over the dust pile, picking up a bit and putting it into your pocket to remember her by. Your first mom. You felt a small pinprick of of tears in your eyes, before you wiped it under your sweater and turned around to follow Frisk out.

     Past the door was a long hallway that led into an empty room. Empty, that is, except for a small yellow flower.

     "(Y/N)? Frisk? You, uh, r-ready to go?" He asked, somehow looking like he was sweating a bit. Frisk nodded, and you picked him up and put him on your shoulder. You and Frisk walked through the door, out into the forest.

     One of the very first things you noticed was the cold. The difference in temperature between the Ruins and the Snowy Forest was almost twenty degrees, and very sudden. You shivered a bit, glad you had worn a sweater. Making sure you had it zipped up over your face in care you came across anyone, you started walking close behind Frisk, your Wolf ears twitching nervously underneath the sweater.

     You both were walking down down the long path through the woods. You passed a large stick on the ground on the way. It was too heavy to pick up, so you kept walking. Suddenly, you heard a loud snap behind you. You whirled around, ready to fight, only to see... nothing there. Then you noticed the large, thick, tough (sush brain don't say anything) branch on the ground.

It was crushed to pieces.

You and Frisk turned around and kept walking. You stuffed your gloved hands into your pockets, your tail you had stuffed into your pants to hide twitching from the tense atmosphere and tight quarters.

     Suddenly, you tensed up, smelling someone was following you. It was... strangely... familiar. Then you knew who it was. You started panicking a bit, but quickly composed yourself.

     No, you thought, if I panic he'll only know for certain that it's me. I just have to stay cool, and not speak. Yeah.

     Eventually, you reach a gate blocking your path forwards. You hear footsteps behind you, and freeze.

     H U M A N S.  D O N ' T  Y O U  K N O W  H O W  T O  G R E E T  A  N E W  P A L?  T U R N  A R O U N D,  A N D  S H A K E  M Y  H A N D.

     970 word count! yaYA!

     Wow. Huh. Five whole chapters without Sans in a Sans x Reader book. Not sure if I should be happy I'm showing restraint or disappointed in myself. Ah well, Anjou the fun. And in case you couldn't tell, yes, the all black out fit with the red smiley face on it is the Geno outfit. That sweater is kinda what gave me the whole multiple ending thingy. Don't worry, I'll do Pacifist as the next ending. Probably. ANYWAYS REALITY IS AN ILLUSION THE UNIVERSE IS A LIE BUY GOLD BYE PERSONS!!!

P.S. (psst, um, what does the Fell bridge gate look like? Also does Sans's hand trick stay as a whooping cushion? Just wondering because Wikipedia is being unhelpful. Ok bbbyyyyyyeeeeeee.)
