Part FinalB - The Surface

Music to play over the scenario.

*Our little group of friends walk out of the door and find themselves standing on the mountain, staring at the setting sun.*

Holly: I- Is that...?

*ZC!Sans looks at the sun confused, and he turns to ZC!Papyrus.*

ZC!Sans: BROTHER! WHAT IS THAT BIG THING IN THE SKY?

ZC!Papyrus: that's called the sun bro.

ZC!Sans: WOWIE! THE SUN LOOKS SO COOL!

ZC!Papyrus: not as cool as you bro.

ZC!Sans: BROTHER! I THOUGHT WE AGREED NOT TO MAKE THIS ALL ABOUT ME!

ZC!Papyrus: heh. sorry bro, you're just too cool.

*As ZC!Sans and Papyrus talk to one another, the focus shifts back to the main group.*

Will: Heck yeah! The sun freaking RULES!

Josh: I- It's so pretty...

*Holly begins to tear up as she reaches out towards the sun.*

Enflared: It almost feels like you can touch it, doesn't it Holly?

Holly: I- I can't believe it... I can't believe I'm actually looking at the sun with you by my side.

*Enflared smiles at Holly, then turns to Aurora.*

Enflared: Well kid, we made it to the surface again. Was it worth it?

Well, since we were able to save every soul, I would say it was worth it.

So, who's going to be the one to tell the others about the resets? I'll give you that choice, buddy.

*Aurora looks out at the sun for a brief moment before turning back to Enflared.*

Aurora: I'll tell them if you find a way to get their attention.

*Enflared nods and looks over at the other groups looking out at the sun.*

Winter: This feels so familiar...

Enflared: That's because this has already happened.

*The other groups turn to Ross and look at him, dumbfounded.*

Winter: What do you mean Enflared?

Enflared: I'm not the one you should really be asking.

*Enflared looks over at Aurora and puts his hand on her shoulder.*

Enflared: Aurora, this is your moment. I believe in you, just put it gently.

*Aurora turns to the groups and sighs.*

Aurora: Josh, how much do you know about the idea of determination and the will to change time?

*Josh coughs slightly and begins to sweat.*

Josh: D- Determination? O- Oh yeah! I- I had a theory that an extremely d- determined person could turn back time if they w- were determined enough. W- Why?

Aurora: That theory is true, Josh.

Jackie: What are you going on about, Aurora darling?

Aurora: I have the power to turn back time to the moment I fell into the underground... the ability to "reset."

Will: Kind of like a video game?

Aurora: Yeah. I have the ability to reload when someone kills me, and the ability to save in certain spots, in order to create points to return to if I die at any point.

*Everyone is silent for a moment, taking in what Aurora has just told them.*

Winter: You aren't going to reset... are you?

Aurora: No. I made a promise to Enflared. It isn't right to deny you all your happiness. Everything is perfect now, and I don't want to ruin that for you guys. Besides, I made a promise to Enflared and Holly that I wouldn't reset anymore.

*There is silence for a few seconds.*

Will: Who's Holly?

Holly: Th- That's me!

Enflared: She was trapped in a type of void-space, but with Aurora's help, we saved her and a few of the other people who are here with us now.

*For a few seconds, no words are spoken.*

Will: You know, now that you mention it, I understand resetting.

Enflared: You do?

Will: Yeah. I actually had an odd feeling when I fought Aurora, like I had fought them once before, and that I was looking at... a friend?

Jackie: Oh yeah! Me too darling?

Damien: R- Really sis......?

Jackie: Yes Damien! I had this odd feeling that I had performed with them once before.

Staci: NOW THAT YOU SAY IT, THEIR FACE DID LOOK FAMILIAR, DIDN'T IT JORDAN?

*Jordan is silent, staring at Aurora.*

Staci: JORDAN?

*Jordan snaps back to attention and sighs.*

Jordan: I knew. The second I saw their face, I remembered everything.

*Jordan narrows his eyes, almost looking angry.*

Jordan: At first, I thought you were going to put us through a constant loop of suffering. Making us do this again and again, or maybe you'd try to commit genocide...

Jordan sighed and smiled warmly.

Jordan: But you didn't... thanks kid.

*Aurora smiled and nodded.*

Emily: Me too. I just never said anything.

Sam: The way they told me they did not want to fight... it did feel somewhat familiar.

Winter: Your kind smile, that's why I felt like I had seen it before.

Damien: Now that you say it...... I guess I did feel like I had invited you over to my house once before......

Adrian: You DID calm me down rather quickly, like you knew what you were doing.

Ava: My cats were giving you a look like they knew you, now I suppose I understand why.

Shelbi: The way you danced, it felt warm and... familiar. I guess it makes sense now.

Jeremy: Yo! It all makes so much sense now!

Ricky: I knew I wasn't imagining that feeling of familiarity.

Ari: I already knew from the start. The way you looked at me when you first saw me when I was that flower.

*There is silence for a second or two, before everyone turns to look at Chloe.*

Chloe: ...

Enflared: You knew the second you saw me by the lamp, didn't you?

Chloe: I did. I completely remembered the resets. At first, I didn't understand why they did reset... but... now that all of these people are here, people that you two saved... I suppose I do understand why now.

*Everybody nods and they all turn back to look at the setting sun.*

Holly: So, what now?

Chloe: Well! This group needs an official mascot!

ZC!Sans's face lights up and he jumps next to Chloe

ZC!Sans: MASCOTS?

Chloe: Sure! It'd be nice to have a partner! C'mon! Let's go greet those humans!

*Chloe and ZC!Sans start to leave, before ZC!Sans has fully left, he turns to ZC!Papyrus.*

ZC!Sans: COME ON BROTHER! LET'S GO!

*ZC!Papyrus chuckles and nods as ZC!Sans runs out.*

ZC!Papyrus: well, i had better make sure they don't cause any problems. enflared? could i talk with you later? with holly and the kid?

Enflared: Of course Paps, I'll just be a minute!

*ZC!Papyrus nods and follows ZC!Sans.*

Will: Gosh darn it Chloe! WAIT FOR ME! I WANNA MEET THE HUMANS TOO!

*Will runs out on ZC!Papyrus's heels.*

Josh: I- I think I'll h- help that Papyrus guy w- with making sure they d- don't cause any problems.

*Josh runs after Will.*

Ava: Say Shelbi, I was wondering. Working by myself is really lonely...

Shelbi: Are you... offering me a job?

Ava: Are you a good baker?

Shelbi: Yeah!

Ava: Come on then! Let's go make plans!

*Shelbi and Ava run down the mountain after Josh.*

Jeremy: Come on sis! Let's go see the humans!

Jill: Ok!

*Jeremy and Jill run down the mountain. Jill stops Jeremy from tripping, to which Jeremy and Jill both laugh before continuing out.*

Staci: YOU KNOW JORDAN... I THINK BEFORE WE GO PREACH TO THOSE PEOPLE, WE BOTH NEED A BREAK TO FIGURE OUT HOW I CAN PREACH TO THEM WITHOUT SCARING THEM.

Jordan: You saying you want to take a little break?

Staci: IS THAT WRONG OF ME?

Jordan: Not at all. I'll help you find some ways to relax here on the surface, come on pal.

*The two leave, talking to one another.*

Jackie: Well darlings, we've got a whole new audience! Why not make our new crowd adore us?!

Adrian: I like it!

Damien: Oh...... sure...... sounds great!

*The three walk out, Jackie leading the way.*

Ricky: Say, your name is Kio, right?

Kio: Yeah! You're Ricky, aren't you?

Ricky: I am! Do you maybe want to go see the humans or take a walk or something?

Kio: A walk sounds nice. Let's go!

*Kio and Ricky walk out, laughing and talking to one another.*

Sam: ...Winter?

Winter: Yeah Sam?

Sam: I truly am sorry for what I have done. Even if I have not killed directly, I have committed an atrocity. Do you think you could find it in your heart to... forgive me?

Winter: Oh Sam, of course I forgive you.

Sam: Then can we... be friends again?

Winter: Of course Sam! Let's go down with the others, ok?

Sam: That sounds lovely.

Winter: I assume you'll catch up with us?

Enflared: Yeah, we'll catch up. See you soon.

*Winter and Sam walk out, leaving Aurora, Enflared, Holly, Emily, and Ari.*

Emily: Can I talk to you later Enflared?

Ross: Of course Emily.

Emily: G- Great! I'll see you down there!

*Emily runs after Winter and Sam, leaving Aurora, the two lovebirds, and Ari on the mountain. Ari turns to Aurora and gives her a patient smile. The sun has fully set and the moon begins to rise in the sky. The remaining group on the mountain stares up at the moon for a moment, before Ari looks at Aurora.*

Ari: So Aurora... what's your plan now?

*Enflared and Holly stop looking up at moon and look at Aurora as well.*

Enflared: Hey... Aurora?

Aurora: Yeah Enflared?

Enflared: Do you remember how before the first reset you did, I offered you a home...? How I offered you could stay with me instead of going back to your abusive home?

Aurora: Yeah?

Enflared: We never got to go through with that plan because of the reset, so... I wanted to ask... Would you like to live with Holly, Froggy, and I?

*Aurora stares at Enflared and gives him a big smile, her eyes filling up with tears.*

Aurora: I- I would love nothing more.

*Aurora hugs Enflared tightly and Enflared hugs back. Holly smiles and hugs Aurora as well.*

Ari: Hey... Enflared...?

*Enflared stops hugging Aurora and turns to look at Ari.*

Enflared: Yes Ari?

*Ari begins to tear up as she looks away from Enflared, Holly, and Aurora.*

Ari: I- I don't really have a family as far as I know. Th- The closest thing I ever had to a family was Maggy... S- So, is it ok... i- if I-

*Enflared hugs Ari and smiles.*

Enflared: Of course Ari, you are welcome to live with Holly, Froggy, Aurora, and I. If you will have us.

Ari: Th- Thank you.

Enflared: Of course. In a way, I suppose we are all... Like a family, huh?

Aurora: Yeah, you and Holly as a mother and father, Froggy as a cute pet, and Ari and I as your kids.

Enflared: That sounds lovely. We'll have chocolate and pie by the fire... Laughing, and telling stories and jokes... Like a family.

Holly: I like the sound of that.

*The group looks up at the moon for a little while longer, before Enflared smiles and clears his throat.*

Enflared: We should probably go meet up with the others.

Holly: Yeah! Come on guys! The night is still young!

Ari: Come on Aurora! Let's go!

Aurora: Guys, wait... I have something else to tell you.

Enflared: What is it Aurora?

Aurora: Maggy is inside of me.

Ari: Huh? Wh- What do you mean?

Aurora: Maggy has been following me around... like a ghost, narrating what I was doing throughout my entire journey. I just wanted to let you know so we could accept one more member...?

Enflared: That sounds great. She is welcome in our family too, then.

Ari: It's nice to know Maggy is here in spirit then.

*The groups laughs, then heads down the mountain as the screen fades to black. Everything is going to be perfect now.*
