It was supposed to be a good day. Like every other day.
Sam hummed as they walked, loving how the snow crunched under their feet, feeling like it was going to be a great day. The wind nipped at their cheeks and ears, but Sam didnβt mind. They were happy, truly, to be outside in Snowdin Town.
It just felt so beautiful today that Sam had forgotten why they had come out in the first place. They stopped walking, smiling softly to themselves before turning and facing the town. Snowflakes danced around them, sticking to the tips of their white hair. Their nose scrunched up with delight. At that moment, they had noΒ regrets.
They started towards the edge of Snowdin Forest when they heard someone yell:
"πππ!"
Turning to face the voice, Sam couldnβt hide the smile that spread across their face. There in the snowy ground was Flowey, looking positively delighted to see them. He also seemed to be holding something in his vinesβ¦which Sam assumed, was what he had yelled at them for.
β*Heya Flowey!β Sam greeted warmly as they stepped closer. β*What did he need?β
βπΈ πππππππ π’ππ πππππ π πππ πππ’ ππππ π πππ ππ!β Flowey held upβ¦a syringe filled with some sort of red liquid. Sam cocked their head before taking it from his vine, carefully examining it. It looked like a regular needle except...something seemed off about it, something not quite right.
βπΈ πππππ ππ ππ π°ππππ’πβ πππβ¦ππππ ππ πππππ π’πππ ππππππβ¦ππ πππππππππ. πΈ πππβπ ππππ ππππ πππππ ππππππππ’ πππππ ππππ πππ πππ π³π. πΆπππππβ¦β Flowey continued, looking off to the side.
β*Wellβ¦it looks harmless enough. Maybe you should give it a shot?β Sam thought to themselves, giggling at the unintentional pun they made. β*Ok butβ¦can he do it? Youβre not very good with needlesβ¦β
Flowey gave an indignant scoff. βπΎπ ππππππ πΈ πππ!β
With that, Flowey took the syringe and jabbed it into Samβs arm vein. The pain quickly subsided, leaving only a faint sting on their skin. But then again, Sam supposed it wasnβt so bad as a warm sensation spread throughout their body. Samβs thoughts trailed off as they watched Flowey pull the needle out of their arm. He let it fall to the ground beside them and looked back to Sam with a proud smile on his face.
βπππππ! π°ππ ππππ!β He declared cheerfully.
Sam gave a nod in response and closed their eyes, reveling in the warmth and contentment that enveloped them. The cold wind blew gently against their cheeks.
β¦
Something was wrong. Sam mumbled about how numb they suddenly felt to Flowey, only to be met by silence. Sam opened their eyes to see the flower with a large grin on their face. They attempted to ask what was going on but no sound came out. When Sam tried once more, however, nothing came. They were too numb to even move let alone speak now.
β*Thisβ¦This canβt be happening, not nowβ¦β They began panicking internally. Sam looked towards Flowey with a pleading look in their eyes, but the small plant just stood there, large grin still there.
βπΆππππ πππ’, ππβπ πππππ’ ππππππ π’ππ ππππ ππππ.β Flowey finally remarked in between laughs.
Samβs eyes darted frantically around the forest, desperate to find some way to get out of there.
But it was useless. No matter how hard Sam tried to force their body to respond to movement, nothing happened. Their body remained unmoving. Panic was quickly rising inside of Sam at this point.
Suddenly they felt Flowey pull himself up with vines towards their face, forcing them to meet his eyes. Their breathing was growing frantic with every second that passed without anything happening.
βπ³ππβπ π ππππ’ πππ,β Flowey whispered, leaning close to Samβs ear as more vines come close to their face. βπππ π ππβπ ππππ π πππππ.β
Next thing Sam knew, a gush of red spurted from their face onto the pure white snow beneath them. Not only that, the vision in their left eye completely blackened.
Sam was frozen in place, trembling as they felt Flowey jam something into the eye socket. They shakingly reached up, only to have the dull feeling of petals touch their fingertips. They pulled back their hand to inspect their now completely blood covered hands. A single tear trickled down their cheek from their now one red eye.
Flowey was speaking now, saying something to them but Sam could barely register a single word of it. All Sam could make out were βcontrolβ and βpowerβ and something along the lines of βTogetherβ¦We are oneβ¦Sammyβ¦β
The numbness had fadedβ¦yet Sam felt no pain.
Suddenly, Sam felt themselves involuntarily stand up. The action nearly caused their legs to buckle from under them but they managed to be steadied. Before they even fully realized what was going on, their feet carried them towards a nearby tree. Flowey finally spoke up again as their fingers grazed against the soft bark of the tree.
Sam stumbled as they finally gain control over their body. They barely managed to grab hold of a tree limb and steady their shaky balance. They felt like they could barely breath. It seemed like only minutes ago everything was fine but nowβ¦
βparental unit?β
They heard the quiet yet familiar voice, making them snap out of whatever daze they were trapped in. It was Sans. Sam didnβt dare face the little skeleton monster, fearing he might see the state they were in. Instead, they said nothing while trying to keep their breath steady.
βparental unit, dad want you to-β
Sans didnβt finish his sentence, and Sam knew why. He mustβve spotted the blood stained snow below from where he was standing. Sans walked forward a few steps and Sam could hear him stop as his voice faltered.
βpβ¦parental unitβ¦are you ok?β
β*β¦Sans?β
βyβ¦yea?β
Sans found himself frantically crawling backwards in the snow with a horrified expression on his face. He backed up until he hit the tree behind him and then scrambled backwards into the snow. Sam had snapped their head backwards to face him, a large grin on their and Floweyβs face. Eye glowing an even brighter red.
Another check in because you've been pretty quiet, how are you feeling today? Have you had breakfast/lunch/dinner yet? Remember to drink water and stretch, and try to get some sleep, okay? Don't push yourself too much, and make time to do what you want. Wishing you the best of luck!
Yes, Iβve been doing well, Anon. :) Iβve just started my fall semester of college so Iβm going to be focusing on that for a while. Thanks again for checking in on me. βΊοΈ
More check-in asks, how are you feeling? Have you had something to eat today? Remember to drink some water and get up to stretch every now and then, okay? You're important, and the world just wouldn't be the same without you. Take care of yourself!
Thanks for the check-in, Anon! Im actually doing great! Iβm also remembering to eat and take a break. Thanks again! :)
Another check in, because I'm worried about you. Don't stress yourself too much, okay? If the homework is hard and you're overwhelmed, remember to stop and take a break, or ask for help if you need it. Remember to drink enough water and eat at least three meals a day, and try to get some sleep and take time for yourself! Don't forget, you're doing amazing, and I'm so proud of you for making it to this point. You've conquered every challenge and bad day so far, you've got this!
Aww, thank you, Anon. Iβm doing fine now since summer semester is over now and I can finally relaxβ¦But thank you for believing in me! I really appreciate it!βΊοΈ
Mental health check, how are you doing kuf? Have you been drinking water? Eating at lease three meals a day? Please try to rest and remember not to be so hard on yourself! You matter too!
Well for starters, I want to throw my laptop out the window because I just hate college math that much. Other than that, yes, Iβve been making sure to take care of myself. Thanks for checking in on me, Anon! ^w^
Note: So sorry this fic is super late but itβs here now! Anyway, onto the fic!

Summary: Itβs a special day for everyone indeed.
Β Β Β Sam paced back and forth in their room, heart thumping loudly and palms feeling clammy. Undyne had been trying to calm them down for the past few minutes but nothing seemed to be working. The albino was just too frazzled to be calmed at the moment. The fish monster could hardly blame them for feeling like this today though.
Β Β Β It had only been about two weeks since all the monsters were freed from the Underground. Everyone had pretty much settled in and adjusted quite nicely to life on the Surface. Yes, there was the occasional prejudice from other humans, the newly appointed Ambassador of Monsters was always there to put a stop to it.
Β Β Β Sam had admittedly been a bit hesitant to take on such a huge responsibility. The support from their friends was enough to convince them to take Asgoreβs offer. The tiny albino could do without the boring meetings though. Gaster actually had to accompany them to make sure they didnβt fall asleep or appear bored.
Β Β Β At least the nice secretary gave them free lollipops every time they stopped by.
Β Β Β How was Sam themselves adjusting? Well, the first thing they did was visit the cemetery. Davidβs grave was well-kept as usual. Sam apologized in their one sided conversation with their brother for not visiting for a while. The albino smiled as they promised to tell David all about their time in the Underground. They left soon afterwards despite not wanting to.
Β Β Β Since they werenβt exactly comfortable returning to their old place of work considering well, everything, Gaster suggested to Sam that they work as a freelance programmer. That didnβt seem like a bad idea so the albino quickly got to work and in just a few short days, had established quite the reputation as a programmer for themselves. Sam didnβt exactly know what Gaster did but they figured it probably had something to do with science. They just hoped it was something that made him happy.
Β Β Β β*You ask Undyne if you look alright...or maybe you need to fix something...β
Β Β Β βSam, youβve asked this literally five minutes ago. Stop your worrying. You look amazing!β
Β Β Β Undyne gently placed her hands on Samβs shoulders, turning them so they could see themselves in the roomβs large mirror. The fish monster then picked up a nearby hairbrush off the table and used it smooth down a few stray hairs.
Β Β Β βEverything is going to be fine, Sam. Everyone will make sure of it.β
Β Β Β The albino took a deep breath and smiled to themselves. Undyne was right. All their friends had promised to make sure today went off without a hitch. All Sam had to do was to not stress themselves out and try to have fun.
Β Β Β Just then, Asgore walked into the room just as Undyne was finishing up with Samβs hair.
Β Β Β βHowdy, you two. Sorry for the intrusion but itβs almost time to begin.β
Β Β Β β*Oh, itβs alright! You tell Undyne to go on ahead.β
Β Β Β The fish monster nodded before quickly leaving the room. After standing up and fluffing down their dress, Sam walked over to Flowey who had been waiting on a nearby table.
Β Β Β β*You ask Flowey if heβs ready to go.β
Β Β Β Sam just giggled as they picked up the plant and headed out the door with Asgore. The albinoβs heartbeat quickened with each step they took. They knew that they shouldnβt be nervous but the tiny albino just couldnβt help it. When the three finally came up the door, Asgore turned to Sam and smiled warmly.
Β Β Β βWhen the music starts up, thatβs your cue to come on in, Sam.β
Β Β Β Asgore started to walk in, but then stopped and turned back to face the tiny albino.
Β Β Β βIβm happy that I get to celebrate this special occasion with Gaster and you, dear Sam.β
Β Β Β The tall goat walked in before they could react. He seemed... sad? No, he couldnβt have been sad. The ex-king of monsters was smiling. A smile meant happiness and joy. It didnβt mean sorrow and despair. Maybe Asgore was just feeling nervous as Sam was feeling? Or, maybe he was actually sad...sad because he was reminded of what he once had with Toriel.
Β Β Β Sam had no more time to think about that though because soon enough, that familiar piece of music sounded from behind the large wooden doors. Pushing open the doors, Sam let their eyes wander around the room a bit. It was quite big with a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Everything was very clean and organized. The albino didnβt exactly know how they missed this place during their stay in the Underground but they just had to take Alphysβ word about how nice this place was.
Β Β β*You soon focus every ounce of your attention to Gaster...β
Β Β Β The tall skeleton had been looking nervous before turning to look at Sam as they made their way down the aisle. Gaster couldnβt help the smile that began to spread across his face. He watched how Sam held up Flowey to their chest like one would a bouquet of beautiful flowers. The way their long white dress flowed gracefully with each step they took was both endearing and breathtaking. Gaster couldnβt help the blush that was no doubt appearing on his face. Sam wasnβt only a ray of hope for monsters, but they were also his personal ray of sunshine.
Β Β Β Soon, in front of all their friends, Sam and Gaster were saying:
Β Β Β β*You do!β
Β Β Β βI...I do.β
~~~~~~
Β Β Β β*You tell Gaster you donβt know who was crying more...Alphys or Asgore.β
Β Β Β βHe always was emotional during these types of events...β
Β Β Β The albino giggled as they shifted themselves around to face the starry night sky. They were still dressed up in their wedding gown, having been too eager to change into more casual clothes. Gaster was the same, still wearing his nice black suit. Probably not the best attire to sit in the soft grass just outside the exit of the Underground.
Β Β Β The two sat in silence for a while until the skeleton decided to break it.
Β Β Β βItβs...still hard to believe we were actually able to get married, Sam.β
Β Β Β Sam didnβt respond. Instead they just sighed happily as they leaned against their husband, not wanting this particular moment to ever end.
Β Β Β β*You feel like everyday can only get better from here...β
Note: A happy ending for everyone! Again, so sorry for this being incredibly late! I was not only dealing with homework, but also writerβs block. But now itβs finished and sorry if itβs not as long as you all were probably hoping.Β
Well enough of that, Iβd just like to say a few words. Mostly just to thank everyone who has followed the development of this blog. Thank you to everyone who has sent nice messages and asks. Thank you for lifting my spirits whenever I was having a bad day. This blog was originallyΒ just supposed to be an escape from the hardships I was facing, but it soon turned into a blog to make people happy. It warmed my heart to see everyone fall in love with my OC, Sam.
In case youβre all wondering about the future of this blog, Iβll probably just be taking requests now that the main storyline is over. This can be anything from one-shots to AU ideas or you can even submit incorrect quotes if youβre interested, just nothing NSFW of course. Sam will also be taking all of your questions over at their ask blog again. Meanwhile, Iβll be working on that masterpost an Anon requested that I do so look forward to that in the future
Thank you everyone. Hope you all enjoyed reading. I love all of you so much. :)
Just checking in because its been quiet for almost two weeks, are you okay? Have you been doing self care? Remember to drink water and eat three meals today, and don't overwork yourself. You matter too!
Oh, yes Iβm alright, Anon. Itβs just been a combination of writerβs block, burnout, and college math homework.
The fic will probably be ready by tomorrow though. ^w^
In which I finally toss V-0 into the mess because why not. There's a lil blurb about him over on Random's blog because i submitted a doodle sheet to her, you'll find it in the submissions tag.
Warnings for potentially suggestive wording, themes, and content on some of them because V-0 is an absolute weirdo. There's nothing explicit, but there's a little more weird than usual.

V-0: 'Person of interest' is almost too flattering.
V-0: Like, if the police were to pound on my door and go, 'A man has been murdered in your building and you are a person of interest,' I'd be like, 'Moi? Oh, do go on.'
Memoryhead: There is SOMETHING wrong with you.

V-0: When someone points at your black clothes and asks whose funeral it is, having a look around the room and saying 'Havenβt decided yet' is typically a good response.
Everyone:
Sam: * β¦ You don't get it.
Endis: Please stop talking.
Memoryhead: If you don't shut your mouth it'll be yours, you off brand my chemical romance disaster.

Sam, holding a fancy antique bottle: * Gaster wanted to drink out of this bottle but you don't know what's in here. Is this whiskey or perfume?
Memoryhead: Let me check.

Gaster:
Memoryhead:
Memoryhead: Itβs perfume.
-
Sam: * Do they think they'd actually notice if someone didn't cast a shadow? Or if their limbs were just slightly too long? Or if they had just a little too many teeth? Like⦠how many times have they passed something on the street and they just didn't notice it?
V-0: Stay woke monster%@#+ers, your love is out there!!!!!
Gaster: β¦ You know what? Not their point at all in any way whatsoever.
Sam: * But you're glad you could be an inspiration!

Hi I'm the anon from yesterday, don't wanna sound like a stalker lol but I just wanted to say that ofc u can take your time! And I wanted to ask... how are you feeling?
Ps reading ur fic is literally my comfort activity? Makes me feel better every time I'm sad <3
You don't have to reply btw!
(Ack, sorry. I donβt get ask notifications on mobile. TwT)
Aww, you donβt sound like a stalker at all!
And Iβm feelingβ¦overwhelmed I guess? Iβm spending summer doing 4 college classes along with trying to get the fics out on time. My uncle just passed so that just added to my already building stress. So yea, life has just been kicking me down one time after another.
Haβ¦sorry, Anonβ¦just needed to vent a littleβ¦
Hi I was wondering if you could make a masterpost with all the story episodes in order? I think it would be a really cute idea, also I love this story!! And I think your writing skills improved so much too <3
Omigosh, thank you, Anon. I knew I was forgetting something! Life has just been so crazy for me lately that it mustβve slipped my mind. Iβll get to work on it as soon as Iβm able! :)
Β Β Β Asriel had no time to lash out at Sam as the albino suddenly found themselves viewing what seemed to be a memory...
Β Β Β A young human child laid face down on the ground, possibly injured. Sam immediately recognized the child as the one who only they could see. They said nothing though since they saw Asriel as a little kid walk up to the child with a worried look. The tiny goat helped them to their feet while making sure they were alright. The albino couldnβt help but smile at the sight.
Β Β Β The memory continued, showing the Royal family picking flowers together. Everyone looked so happy and it instantly reminded Sam of their own family. The last thing the tiny albino saw before the memory faded was the whole Dreemurr family...together.
Β Β Β Sam once again found themselves in front of Asriel but this time, he didnβt look as confident as he did before.
Β Β β*You can feel your friendsβ SOULs resonating within Asriel!β
Β Β Β The giant goat monster angrily shot a flurry of attacks that Sam had no opening to dodge. They took a good bit of damage but managed to stand right back up. They wanted to save Asriel which only fueled the goatβs rage.
Β Β Β Asriel sounded so defeated now, shoulders no longer held high. Fire attacks slowly trickled down upon the tiny albino, but actively avoided hitting them. Maybe they were finally getting through to Asriel?
Β Β Β Asriel then smiled at Sam. But unlike his malicious one from earlier, this grin actually seemed sincere. A smile one might give while greeting a best friend.
Β Β Β The tall goat slouched his shoulders in sadness once again as he gazed sadly at Sam. The albino felt a pang deep inside their SOUL. They knew that look all too well. A look of lonelinessβ¦helplessnessβ¦
Β Β Β It was clear now that Asriel didnβt hate them. He was just lonely.
Β Β Β Without warning, two balls of magic energy appeared in Asrielβs hands which then, almost instantly, turned into a multi-colored beam. Sam had absolutely no space to dodge and was forced to take the multiple hits. The albino could feel their HP dropping, but their DETERMINATION managed to keep it from dropping completely to 0. Meanwhile, Asriel just continued shouting at them as he attacked with full force.
Β Β Β Finally, the fire inside the goat monster died down into smoldering stillness. Asriel just looked and sounded completely defeated. Everything was slowly becoming more and more dark as the monster explained that he felt so lonely and afraid.
Β Β βπ-πππ, πΈβ¦πΈβ¦β
Β Β Β Everything went white.
Β Β Β When Sam eventually got their vision back, they were shocked to see that they were no longer in battle. Asriel stood in front of them, now as a child again. The poor little goat was crying and sniffling softly as he uttered out an apology.
Β Β Β Asriel went silent for a moment before speaking up again. As Flowey, he was soulless, uncaring of others and unable to love. But now that every monstersβ SOUL was within, he could feel those emotions once more.
Β Β Β Sam felt their heart flutter when they heard this. The feeling only grew when Asriel told of how strong all the monstersβ love was for them. Of course, they knew all their friends and family cared about them, but never actually knew how much. The tiny albino wondered if they could love even more, although that thought seemed silly even for themβ¦
Β Β Β They were quickly pulled out of their thoughts by the sound of Asriel sighing.
Β Β β*β¦You tell Asriel that itβs alrightβ¦you forgive him.β
Β Β Β Asriel looked surprised. Then he chuckled and looked away, telling Sam that they were going to make him cry again. The albino gave him a large grin in response.
Β Β Β The little goat child then suddenly looked up with a slightly fierce look on his face, stating that there was something he needed to do first. He could feel everyoneβs hearts beating as one, burning red hot with the same desire. With everyoneβs strength and determinationβ¦
Β Β Β Before the albino could react, Asriel slowly closed his eyes and floated upwards, summoning the power within. Suddenly, both the human and monster souls came out so rapidly that Sam was forced to shield their eyes for a split second. A large cracking noise made them look up however.
Β Β Β It was the barrier. A large crack had appeared before it finally shatteredβ¦
Β Β Β The barrier was destroyed.
Β Β Β Asriel floated back down afterwards and looked over at Sam who was still in awe with a soft gaze.
Β Β β*Ohβ¦then heβllβ¦turn back into Flowey again, right?β
Β Β Β Asriel nodded slowly, looking down towards the ground. He told the albino that they should just forget about him. They should just go be with their loved ones again.
Β Β Β But Sam didnβtβ¦
Β Β β*You walk up to the goat child and pull him up into a tight hug.β β*He stiffens up before hugging you back..β
Β Β Β The two hugged for quite a while before Sam finally put Asriel back down, rubbing his head fondly. The goat smiled shyly at this. He could tell Sam what going to do great things for monsterkind. No matter what, their friends will always be there for them. Letting out another sigh, Asriel turned.
Β Β Β Sam slowly waved goodbye to their new but also old friend. They were beginning to feel sleepy, their vision going dark. A quick nap wouldnβt hurt, right?
Β Β βSam! My child, pleaseβ¦you have to wake up!β
Β Β Β Samβs ruby eyes snapped open upon hearing the calling of their name. The ground felt very cold and didnβt exactly help with the massive headache they had. Soft fingers slowly ran through their hair as they blinked themselves awake. The albino felt themselves being helped to their feet and steadied. Their friends and family were surrounding them with worried expressions, although Papyrus and Undyne were trying not to show it. They heard Gaster let out a big sigh of relief.
Β Β βThank goodnessβ¦β
Β Β βMy child, are you alright now?β
Β Β βW-We were getting really worriedβ¦β
Β Β Β Everyone started talking all at once before Asgore was able to calm them down. The King tried to give Sam some tea but a sharp look from Tori made him retract that offer.
Β Β Β Clearly uncomfortable with the situation, Gaster asked Sam if they wanted to take a walk before everyone headed out. After agreeing, the lovers walked away from the group. They were silent at first before Sam finally spoke up.
Β Β β*You ask Gaster if anyone remembers what exactly happenedβ¦β
Β Β βMmβ¦Iβm afraid not, Sam. Iβm drawing a blank myself. What did happen exactly?β
Β Β β*You smile, saying that he probably wouldnβt understand.β β*He gives you a strange lookβ¦β
Β Β ββ¦I never will understand humansβ¦β
Β Β Β The two then went around saying goodbyes to all the monsters in the Underground. Sam could tell that it wasnβt going to be goodbye forever though. They couldnβt help but feel a bit awkward around Grillby though but the fire monster seemed more relieved than anything.
Β Β βSam, we should be heading back now. We donβt want to-!β
Β Β Β Gaster didnβt have to finish his sentence as he was suddenly found himself being practically dragged back by an eager Sam.
~~~~~~
Β Β βWOWIE!! PARENTAL UNIT, THE SUN IS SO PRETTY!β
Β Β Β Sam chuckled as they held Papyrus in their arms. Gaster held Sans, who had an equally excited look on his face as his brother. In fact, everyone had a look of awe. Well, minus Sam who had a tired smile and was resting their head on Gasterβs shoulder.
Β Β βAs much as I would love to stay here all day, it would be wise to begin the moving process now while the Sun is still up.β
Β Β Β Everyone nodded in agreement with Asgore. Thatβs when Sam suddenly remembered something and asked Gaster if he could wait for them for a little while longer. Although confused, the skeleton promised to still be waiting there with the brothers.
Β Β Β Sure enough, Sam found the spot they were looking for and saw an all too familiar sightβ¦
Β Β Β Sam smiled warmly as they watched Toby give Flowey a couple kisses on his face much to the plantβs disgust. Although sad they werenβt able to see Asriel one more time, the tiny albino couldnβt be more happy to see Flowey again. They walked up causing the pup to clumsily bound over to them and Flowey to look up in shock.
Β Β Β With Toby in one arm and Flowey in the other, Sam quickly made their way back to Gaster and the brothers. However, they still took the time to look back at the Underground, smiling at all the memories they made, the food and the bad. Although this may have been the end of this journey for Samβ¦
Β Β Β β*You walk out to see Gaster holding a sleeping Sans and Papyrus.β
Β Β Β Groaning, Sam rubbed the sleepiness from their ruby eyes. As much as they wanted to pass out until morning, Flowey apparently had other plans. The tired albino looked over at the impatient plant with confusion.
Β Β Β And with that, Flowey disappeared into his pot. Despite their exhaustion, curiosity got the better of Sam as they slowly slid out of bed, almost letting out a pained yelp from their foot hitting a stray book on the floor. Gaster was right. They werenβt a very good housekeeper when they were still living on the Surface. They had pretty much given up on life back then though so that was probably why.
Β Β Β Sam shuffled their way down the hallway, occasionally stopping to take in their surroundings. They just still couldnβt believe they were actually back home. Sam remembered how nervous they felt when bringing Gaster and the boys here, not entirely knowing why though. Maybe it was because Gaster tried to look through their baby album Gran always kept near the front door. The afternoon was spent with Sam trying to keep the skeleton from flipping through that book of embarrassmemt.
Β Β Β Finally making their way outside, Sam quickly spotted Flowey waiting for them and made their way over, albeit still very confused.
Β Β β*You ask Flowey why he wanted you to come out so lateβ¦β
Β Β Β The flower didnβt answer, he just patted the spot on the grass next to him. Sitting down, Sam was about to ask again when Flowey pointed upwards towards the night sky.
Β Β Β β*You look up to see the sky shining brightly with a multitude of stars.β
Β Β Β Samβs eyes sparkled with amazement as they took in the sight. Stars twinkled high above with the two friends watching every second of it. Sam almost wished that Gaster was here to see it. The skeleton probably wouldnβt have appreciated being woken up at this hour though. One thing Sam was absolutely certain about however...
Β Β Β They were looking forward to spending every night like this.
Note: Despite the title, itβs not quite the end yet.~ I hope you all enjoyed reading this fic! Thank you all so much for reading! I love all of you so much! Requests are always welcomed! Stay tuned for more.
Note: Hope youβre all having a wonderful day! Anyway, onto the fic!

Summary: With their newfound confidence, Sam finds themselves on a mission to SAVE not only themselves, but also all their friends as well. Will Sam be able to restore everyoneβs memory of them?
Sam could feel DETERMINATION coursing through them. The ACT option had now changed to SAVE and thatβs exactly what they were going to do.
β*You call out to Undyne, hoping that she hears you...β
Undyne, or at least they figured it was the fish monster, soon appeared in front of Sam. However, they couldnβt make out her face. The determined albino still knew that this was indeed their aggressive friend. Undyne didnβt seem to recognize which left them extremely upset. They still had to try and make her remember though.
But what would make the fish monster retain her memories of them?
β*You ask her if she wants to have a snowball fight with you.β β*It seems like she can barely resist your offer...β
βAll humans will die!!β
That comment really stung but Sam knew that Undyne wouldnβt even think saying that now. Swallowing their hurt, the albino focused on dodging her attacks. Once it was their turn again, Sam had already formed a plan in their head.
β*You ask her if she wants to cook something with you.β β*She doesnβt know why, but she kinda wants to cook with you now...β
More dodging spear attacks. Sam knew it wouldnβt take much more now.
β*You ask her if sheβs up to climbing trees with you.β β*She looks very eager when suddenly, the memories come flooding back!β
And just like that, in a flash of bright light, Sam found themselves smiling at a grinning Undyne. The fish monster immediately grabbed them and rubbed her fist roughly against their head. The albino was so happy that they didnβt even protest.
βWell, youβre ok I guess, ya punk.β
That moment didnβt last for long though as Sam soon found themselves back in front of Asriel. After dodging his flurry of attacks, the albino called out to Alphys, hoping the lizard could hear their voice.
Sure enough, she did but also like Undyne, Sam couldnβt make out her face. Nevertheless, they would get Alphys to remember them.
β*You tell her that youβll alway support her, no matter what.β β*Your warm tone seems familiar to her...β
βY-You hate me, donβt you?β
At that moment, Sam just wanted to grab Alphys by the shoulders and say, no, they definitely did not hate her. Instead however, they were busy dodging attacks. Sam had never seen Alphys fight before so this came as a surprise. The attacks were easy to dodge though so they werenβt too worried.
β*You tell her you still think Mew Mew 2 is superior to the first.β β*She looks about ready to go on a very long rant.β
βL-Lying is my only option...β
Yet more dodging. Sam hoped it wouldnβt be long now.
β*You ask her if you can read the next story she writes.β β*She seems nervous now when suddenly, the memories come flooding back!β
Much like Undyne, Sam was instantly met with Alphys smiling at them. The two hugged each other tightly.
βY-Youβre right, Sam...M-My friends l-like me, and I-I like you too!β
With now two friends, Sam could feel their confidence growing. It was almost as if their friends were giving them support. Not even Asrielβs taunting could falter them from their goal now.
β*You call out to Toriel and Asgore in hopes that they hear you...β
The two goat monster appeared in an instant, faces obscured. Even though Asgore was about to well, kill them before all this happened, Sam still wanted to save him too.
β*You give her a hug and tell her you want to visit again soon.β β*This seems familiar to her...β
βThis is for your own good.β
βForgive me for this...β
This time around, it was a bit more difficult to dodge now that there were two monsters attacking them. The albino managed though, only taking a couple of hits.
β*You give him a hug as well.β β*His aggression is slowly melting away...β
βNo one will leave again.β
βThis is my duty.β
Despite their confidence, Sam knew it would take more effort with the King and former Queen.
β*You ask her if you can get another piece of butterscotch cinnamon pie to take home.β β*She seems happy to oblige...β
The taller monsters werenβt saying anything now, just standing there quietly.
β*You tell him that youβre not going to hurt him not matter what...β β*Suddenly, the memories come flooding back!β
Sam didnβt even have to wait long as they found themselves being pulled into a hug by Tori. Asgore stood aside but still smiled warmly at the tiny albino when they looked over at him.
βMy child, your fate is up to you now.β
βYouβre our future, dear Sam...β
Sam took a deep breath as they once again found themselves in front of a gloating Asriel. His mocking tone had cease to faze them however so they focused on saving once last time.
This time...they were going to save their family.
β*You loudly call out to Gaster and the boys.β
When the three skeletons appeared, Sam just wanted to run up to them and hugged them all as tightly as possible. They couldnβt though. All they could do was try to get the three to remember.
β*You give all three skeletons head pats.β β*Two of them seem to like it while the third tries to ignore it...β
βHumans are not to be trusted.β
βi donβt wanna do any tests.β
βIβM A GOOD SKELETON...β
The little albino had never actually seen the skeletons fight before except when Papyrus was practicing with Undyne. This made dodging twice as hard as Sam didnβt know what to expect. They still tried their hardest despite getting hit a couple times.
β*You tell the skeletons that youβre going to be baking cookies.β β*The first two look excited while the third pretends not to care..β
βIβm doing this for the King.β
βiβm tired...β
βDONβT CRY, BROTHER...β
After dodging more bones, Sam suddenly thought of a way to end this fight.
β*You give each skeleton a kiss.β β*They all look shocked and confused when suddenly, the memories come flooding back!β
Sam didnβt bother to hold themselves back as they jumped into Gasterβs arms, practically smothering the skeleton with kisses. The brothers just giggled at the two adults. Gaster just barely managed to calm the albino down, placing his bony hands on their shoulders.
βIf anyone can do it, I know itβll be you, Sam.β
βME AND SANS KNOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO, PARENTAL UNIT!β
Everyone was saved...but Sam still felt like something was off. Was there someone else that had to be saved?
Then they saw one single name was left.
Asriel Dreemurr.

Summary: Sam had to keep fighting, despite how unfair the odds are. Will Sam be able to find a way to balance out the odds?
Samβs heart pounded loudly as they dodged yet another of Asrielβs attacks. A beam of multi-colored magic just barely managed to miss hitting them. The albino didnβt know how much longer they could keep this up though. Sure, theyβve been in plenty of battles before, but this one was completely different.
ACT did basically nothing to stop Asriel as he would just cackle and shake his head at their attempts. At this point, running seemed like a good option, but Sam not only had to save their loved ones, they didnβt think there was any place to run off to. Were there any other choices left for them even?
The tiny albino was so deep in their thoughts that they failed to notice Asriel charging up another attack. By the time they did, it was already too late. The magic blast hit them full force.
Samβs pupils shrank when they heard a loud cracking noise. They could practically feel the life draining out of them as they saw their dulling red SOUL suddenly crack before snapping in half. Pain rippled through Samβs body, tears falling down their face.
β*...β
As quickly as it broke, their SOUL suddenly repaired itself, glowing red as brightly as ever.
β*But it refused...β
With this newfound revelation, Sam never felt more ready. At least, thatβs what they wouldβve thought had Asriel not interrupted their proud moment.
The tiny albino suddenly felt themselves being pulled towards something while also being attacked from behind. Sam had to practically dig their shoes into the ground and try to simultaneously guess where the attacks were coming from. That didnβt stop them from getting hit anyway however.
After the attack was over, Sam found themselves bruised and struggling to stay upright. Checking their HP revealed that they were at a mere 1. Asriel just continued to smirk and laugh at their misfortune.
Everything went white for Sam as they quickly found themselves unable to move. When their vision finally came back, the albino saw that Asriel had grown larger, practicality looming over them. Sam tried to struggle as they continued to dodge an onslaught of attacks.
β*You can barely move...β
Suddenly, Sam felt something hit them followed by their SOUL crack before restoring itself back.
β*But it refused...β
Struggling once it was their turn made Asriel laugh before speaking.
Black spots were appearing in Samβs vision as they dodged yet another onslaught, Asriel mocking them as they did so. They didnβt want it to end like this. They wanted their loved ones back. They needed to fight against all odds!
β*You get hit and feel something warm run down your face...β
But...
β*Everything turns black for you. Your struggling does nothing...β
It seemed like the odds were against them either way.
Was this it? Were they really going to die? Samβs body felt heavy, weighing them down as they reached a hand up. They wanted to grasp onto something or at least have someone grab them. Nothing happened though.
The tiny albino could feel themselves slipping, and they didnβt mind at all. They were more than ready to give up now. They failed. They failed everyone...
β*...An idea suddenly pops into your mind.β
Maybe...with what little power they knew they had...
Maybe they could try to SAVE instead.
Note: Yay, another cliffhanger! Sorry itβs so short! Itβs been a hectic week. I hope you all enjoyed reading this fic! Thank you so much for reading! Requests are always welcomed! I love all of you so much! Stay tuned for more.
