He says. "My name is Simon. Well, that is what I call myself!"

Toriel smiled. "That is an adorable name! Nice to meet you!"

She gets her right hand out and shakes his paw.

Simon raises his right eyebrow for a moment, he replied with another kind smile. "Likewise, well farewell!" Toriel sees Simon walks off behind her towards the closest library.

Toriel runs the other direction. She sees Asgore on a bench, slumped over with his head covered by his large hands. Toriel walks up to him and she says. "Gorey? Its me-Toriel"

Asgore replied in a sadden tone. "Do not Gorey me...You left me again, the moment you accepted that future of yours. You left me and our children the moment you made your choice."

He looks up at her, his eyes are swollen and wet. He has been crying. He says to her. "Why!? I am sure he could have found a way if we gave him more time...Or maybe Alphys could have done something? You are going to leave me,our children...Do you have any idea how much this hurts? How much we love you and you give up like this? What about us? Our life together with our children?"

Toriel responds. "I-I am sorry! Asgore, please let me explain..."

Asgore gets up and turns her direction, his expression with that of sadness. "Our relationship was never meant to last was it? I only hope you do treasure those last moments, does it hurt you too?"

Toriel starts to cry. Asgore walks closer to her and hugs her.

Asgore replied. "I'm sorry Tori! L-lets go home..." They start walking home together.

Toriel only feels heartache and wonders if her last moments with him will have any happiness left.

Halfway there she sees Simon again, he is on a bench reading something. She calls out to him. "Hey!" He looks in her direction and waves.

Asgore speaks to her. "Who is that?"

Toriel replied. "That Temmie is named Simon, he is how I found you."

Asgore replied. "Simon? how curious. I never heard of a Temmie having a different name before."

Toriel says to him. "I know, how odd. It's new to me as well."

Simon places his book down and walks up to them with a smile. "Hello Queen Toriel! and Hello king Asgore! What an honor to see you both!" He bowed.

Toriel smiled. "Aww, you do not have to do that!"

Simon replied. "Nonsense, it is a sign of respect!"

Toriel giggled and said. "Your sweet!"

Simon says with concern in his voice. "You two look gloomy, everything alright?"

Toriel replied. "Not really, we are on our way home..."

Papyrus sees them nearby and yells out. "SANS I FOUND THEM!"

Simon's right top ear twitched. He replied. "He is loud, no offense, I will be on my way now."

Toriel speaks to Simon and she says. "It's fine, thanks again."

Simon nods and walks back to the bench. Papyrus walks up to her and says. "WE'VE LOOKED ALL OVER FOR YOU TWO! WHAT IS GOING ON?"

Toriel dreads this, she says. "I will explain on the way." 1 hour later, Toriel is back at her house, with Asgore,Sans,Papyrus and her other friends who ended up with her. They are staring at her with upset and shocked expressions.

She opens her door to be hugged by her children. They hug her and Asgore both. Chara says. "Please change your mind! or atleast take everyone with you!"

Asriel sniffled, he is crying. "Change your mind! Please!!!!"

Gaster sighed, he mumbled. "This will not be easy will it?"

Undyne yelled out. "TORIEL WHY!? DO NOT ACCEPT THIS! ALPHYS CAN FIX IT! OR SOMETHING! OR MAYBE BOTH GASTER AND HER CAN CHANGE THINGS! WE NEED YOU! ASGORE NEEDS YOU! DO NOT BECOME THIS GUYS DAUGHTER!"

Mettaton said with a frown. "Darling, it would be awful! Losing you and you possibly forgetting us! Just think about it! Asgore! Your children!"

Alphys sighed and said. "What if s-she has no choice and this is her true destiny?"

Undyne,Mettaton,Asgore,Chara,Asriel,Sans and Papyrus yelled out in shock of her words. "WHAT!???"

Alphys says. "I-It's her life, what if it-its for the best? I am sure we will still be in it somehow...."

Asgore replied in a sad tone. "I won't be..."

Chara and Asriel spoke out. "But we will! right?"

They look at Gaster. He says. "Yes you both will be."

Asgore yelled out. "NO! I CANNOT LOSE ALL THREE!"

Toriel replied. "Asgore....We will not end up together anymore, i do not want to lose them."

Asgore shouted in a sad and loud voice. "I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANY OF YOU! CHOOSING THIS WAS A BAD IDEA! THERE HAS TO BE OTHER ALTERNATIVES!"

Toriel startled, she sighed. "You all remember what i mentioned, the voices from the savestar...Frisk, their warning of a beast in the shadows? Me being everyones hope...The pressure got to me. I-I am still scared and do not want to lose anyone....I-"

Asgore speaks to her in a voice that has Toriel close to crying. "But we will lose you!"

She is speechless. Sans speaks out. "maybe something good will happen, maybe it won't happen after all? sure she accepted it, but maybe things will happen differently? the future can always change. we make our future!"

Asgore looks at Gaster's cracks then at her horns, the similarities and he sighed. "No, I see the facts, I am going to lose her....Tori, I think it's best we-we do not talk to one another anymore."

Hearing those words strike Toriel at her heart. Tears start falling. Chara and Asriel walk up to Asgore. "Please do not leave her...Maybe we can prevent it?"

Asgore chuckled. "My sweet children, always full of hope. I am sorry but nothing can prevent this."

Asriel looks at her and then at Asgore. "I do not want to lose my mom, if she can never be with you again...What happens to you Dad? Dad?"

Asgore replied in a sad tone. "I do not know....I am going to return to my house. You are better off with her, any future with me would only be wasted anyways."

His voice breaks in the end. Chara and Asriel start to cry. They start to run to him. He holds them close with a hug for a moment, he lets go and then looks down at them.

He says both to Chara and Asriel. "Take care of her for me alright? Stay Strong! Stay Determined!"

Chara and Asriel sniffle and nod. He leaves. Toriel gets hugged by her friends. They leave, only to tell her bye. She and her children go to the couch and cry for awhile. Gaster remains silent, unsure how to calm them. After they have cried for awhile. Toriel falls asleep with them in her arms.

Gaster covers them up and presses his belt.

Dust speaks through the speaker on his end. "damn, tori is better off forgetting everything! I heard everything!"

Horror speaks and says. "yeah, I wonder how her life is going to end...are we going to be the ones who end it?"

Gaster growled and snapped in wingdings towards Horror. "✡⚐🕆 😐☠⚐🕈 🕈☟☜☼☜ ✋ 💧❄✌☠👎 ⚐☠ ❄☟✌❄✏ ✋ 🕈⚐🕆☹👎 ☠☜✞☜☼ ☟✌☼💣 ☟☜☼✏" English Translation:"YOU KNOW WHERE I STAND ON THAT! I WOULD NEVER HARM HER!"Horror's signal goes out. Dust responds. "i have a feeling something is going to happen soon." Temmie speaks. "Yeah, stay close to her kids." Gaster replies. "I fully intend on it."
