".....sssssssoooooo Flowey...

From what Kris said you're..a prince right?" Madotsuki asked the golden flower.

"I mean..yeah.." He responsed.

Everyone came out of no where and started throwing complements at the flower.

"Where the hell did everyone come from? Also, why are you all so excited about me all of a sudden?"

"Well, since we're now in a better mood then before, we can now all be very excited about you being royalty properly." Freddy said.

"Should we bow to you?!" Spooky asked.

"We should get you a crown!" Mugman said.

"No and no." The flower demanded.

"Yes you're majesty!" Fran said excitedly.

"I said stop!!"

"Well, we still have questions for you this time." Freddy crossed his arms.

'Oh no..' Flowey thought. He was expecting all the worst possibilities from the questions.

He sighed annoyingly.

"Don't ask me anything stupid.." Everyone nodded.

"So.." Spooky started.

"Do you have magic hair like Hat kid?"

"No and what magic hair??"

Hat kid turned around, took off her hat and let her ponyTAIL back and forth.

Flowey couldn't decided whether to be weirded out or amazed. Through everyone's eyes however, it looked like he had mixed feelings.

"O..kay..." Flowey obviously didn't know what else to say about that.

"Magic hands maybe?" Cuphead asked.

"Well yeah I gu-"

"Did animals talk to you?" Mae asked.

"I was a-"

"Were you poisoned?!" Sal asked.

"Oh no not me-"

"Cursed?" Freddy and Fran said unison.

"No-"

"Kidnapped or enslaved?" Bendy asked, sounding a bit too eager. Six nodded as well.

"No! Where the hell are you guys getting these questions from?!" Flowey asked.

"I'm guessing you had a bizarre dream where you meet a new goopy monster-like friend, but it turns out, they are actually a being of pure evil with a scary melty face that wants to scare you?" Maddy asked, sounding eager herself.

"Geez no!"

"Did you have the one you love kiss you yet?" Ayano asked.

"I uh...."

"Do ya got daddy issues?" Bendy asked.

"Oh yeah, I know he's got a bunch of them."

"SO DO OURS!!" Literally almost everyone in the room responsed cheerfully for some reason, making it Flowey jump a bit.

"And now for the million dollar question.." Monika started to ask.

"Do people assume ALL your problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?"

Flowey was about to respond, when stopped and thought about it. He looked at Monika, who raised an eyebrow, looking smug as ever. The flower turned away, feeling embarrassed, when he realized..that it was true. Very true actually.

"Maybe...."

They all gasp.

"He really is a prince!" Mae exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air.

Flowey looked down and grunted. He still felt quit embarrassed from that last question. He didn't want anyone to see his face turning red.

^^^^^^^

Later that day, Bendy and some other INDIEviduals (get it ;D) from the house decided to get head to the library in town. There, the group searched for different books. 

Mugman was looking for anything that felt interesting.

Hat kid was searching for more bigger chapters books. She wasn't much of a reader herself, but ever since she was adopted by a certain big purple spooky ghost who loves to read, she soon found herself becoming a bookworm too.

Madotsuki really wanted to find more manga (of course). To top it all off, she just so happens to drag Six along because...she wanted to. In some weird way, she liked when Six was around. And yet, Six didn't really seem to mine either.

Spooky crossed her fingers and hoped she found books by Edgar Allen Poe, her favorite author. She hasn't read any in quiet a while.

And Bendy was looking for a particular book he found last time he was at the library. One he didn't expect to find.

The demon browsed through the isle of books, remembering that it was somewhere nearby. Sooner than later, he'd finally found it.

"Ah, here it is!" He exclaimed.

"Helltaker, by good-old Beelzebub."

Mugman, who was nearby, overheard the demon talking to himself.

He carefully took the red book out by it's edge and dusted it a little.

"Hey Bendy." Mugman greeted as he walked over to Bendy.

"Heya Mugs! Find anything good?"

He sighed. "No not really..What do you get there?"

Bendy smiled.

"I'm glad ya asked Mugs!

This is Helltaker, written by the one and only Beelzebub. I'm still surprised she was able get this out here, despite her being in the abyss."

"Oh..Why was she there to being with?"

"Why don't I just tell ya the full story?"

Mugman smirked. "Yeah sure Bendy."

"Ok let's go sit!" Bendy said, pulling Mugman to the comfy seats.

^^^^^^^^

Back at the house, Mae was miserable.

"When's Kris coming back?" She whined.

"He's only been gone for a few days you know." Sal said, not taking his eyes after from his Nintendo Switch.

"I know but I'm booorreedd without him. And I feel lonely in my room.."

"Well, he's not going to be back for quite some time." The neighbor said.

Mae groaned again, plopping on the couch next to Sal.

Just then a knock was heard at the front door.

"I'll get it." The neighbor said, walking over to the door and opening it.

In the doorway stood the same guy from the day Mae and Kris encountered some of the RPG girls. Cat mask and all.

"Can I help you?" The neighbor asked.

"Is uhhhh..the guy with the green sweater and the..yellow strip here?" Zachcarie asked.

Sal and Mae almost fell out of their seats when they heard that familiar voice. Mae pulled Sal down, trying to cover themselves with the couch seats. They slowly took a peek at the person to see that their suspicions were correct.

"You mean Kris? Oh, he's not here right now. He'll be away for a couple of weeks." The neighbor said.

"Oh...ok.." Zachcarie lowered his head and made a mentally note of the boy's name.

"I'll..be on my way now..." He said walking off, making sure he hide the item he had clenched in his hand.

The neighbor closed the door, asking himself the same question Sal and Mae were wondering.

'What did he want with Kris?'

^^^^^^^^

Bendy opens the red book he has with him.

"So the story of the Helltaker begins with the Helltaker himself." He says as Mugman brings his comfy chair next to Bendy's to see the book better.

"One day, he had a dream where he would have...well...a harem of demon girls."

Mugman was taken aback by this. He did not expect that nor did he know what to say about that.

"Umm..O..Kay???"

"Wait! I ain't done." Bendy continues, turning over the next few pages, explaining the story.

"So he woke up from his dream and decided to make his dream come true by going down into hell and getting demon girls.

The Helltaker of course, still had to get through these dangerous puzzles and successfully convince the girls to join him. He did succeed however..."

Bendy finally flipped to the last page, where the Helltaker and the demon girls looked like they were partying their hearts out.

"It was said that his time with them was short and painful, yet he decided that he'll still enjoy it and he did."

Bendy then closed the red book.

"And that was the story of the Helltaker." Bendy said, almost like he was proud to tell it.

Mugman just gave a look.

"I know it is a weird story or as Beelzebub would say: "A horrible story about horrible people."

"But..have you known this story for a while Bendy?"

"Yeah! All the demon's know this weird story."

Mugman immediately thinks of the other demon he's meet at the casino. The devil himself none the less.

"Ever...uh...the devil himself??"

"Yeah! He sure knows this story. I've even meet the big guy a few times."

"YOU WHAT?!" Mugman quickly covers his mouth, feeling embarrassed about making such a ruckus.

Bendy smirks at Mugman.

"Yeah, I know him and he knows me. And I actually remember in one of our conversations that Cuphead and ya were the first to ever cross him.." Bendy said. He smiled more mischievously, crossing his arms.

Mugman gulped.

Bendy laughs.

"Ya fine Mugs."

Bendy put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"I ain't gonna do nothing."

Mugman laughs nervously.

"Yeah...yeah....o-ok..." He felt sweat drip from his face, still feeling a little on edge.

^^^^^^^

Flowey sat in his flowerpot as usual. He sat on Monika's desk, looking blankly outside the window in his room, remembering the conversation with...his long lost friend...

'I guess I wanted to make my name more feminine, so in the end, I added an F, making myself known as....'Frisk'.

I traveled through the rest of the underground and..I remember meeting so many great more monsters. They wanted to kill me and take my soul, but that was because they just wanted to be free.

Her name was Chara and she was the only human that understood me..that cared and helped me..and..I miss her too..

Asriel, the prince of monsters, woke up within the garden, reincarnated....as Flowey.

Stop...stop being so nice. I don't...I-I don't...'

He sighed.

He still wasn't sure how to react to all of that. After....8 years..

Flowey finally saw 'Frisk' again..

To be honest he...he felt happy...or at least..he tired to be..

To see his friend after so many years...

But...

What will he say?

How would he react when Kris returns? What will he do?

Flowey didn't know yet himself. Everything felt like it happened so fast, despite him only being gone for almost a week now.

And yet..

He...missed him...he missed him so much..

He guessed the only thing to do for now is to wait..

Wait for his dear friend to return to him once again...
