I woke up, expecting to see whatever happened after death. Believing this, i was surprised i was laying in the throne room, in the middle of some flowers, feeling. . . Nothing.

"Mum? Dad?" I said. Trying to get up, only to realise i was already standing up. I looked around, seeing Asgore's Throne. It looked much bigger then it should. I tried to look down, trying to check myself for injuries. That's when i realised, i had a stem, leaves for arms, and petals surrounding my 'face.'

"MOM?! DAD?!" I yelled.

But Nobody Came

Eventually, Asgore found me weeping in the throne room. "That's strange," he said. "I've never seen a flower. . . Cry before." I looked up at him, realising he wouldn't recognise me. Wondering if he would believe me or not, i said, "It's me, Asriel."

He didn't believe me at first getting annoyed at me by trying to imitate his 'dead' son. After a while, telling him things only Chara, Asgore, Toriel and I would know, he realised the truth.

"My son, you- you really are back from the dead. But, how is this possible?" I too was puzzled by this. "I'm not sure. Maybe we can go see the royal scientist, EgzUes."

The name came out as static and jumbled words. I tried again. Just a different bundle of random sound. "Let's go see Alphys" Asgore said. I was trying to talk about ZDgbSD. DFGtdO. DHrweV? Ugh! Why cant I say it?

I realised he had been talking about an experiment, maybe he made people/flowers unable to say his name? Though why?

Hang on, "Who is Alphys?" I asked, never hearing the name before.

"Alphys is the royal scientist, has been since a year after you died. Though why i needed another royal scientist i cannot remember."

"H-hello, Asgore. W-why are y-you here?" Alphys was a large yellow dinosaur/lizard thing. She reminds me of Chara when I first met her, stuttering all over the place.

"This is why." Showing Alphys the pot i was quickly planted in. I've been trying to move my roots to get comfortable. Surprisingly, it was easy

Recognition flashed across her face, unnoticed by Asgore, but it made me curious. How did she recognise me as a flower, unless she was recognising the flower itself, and even then, what's so special?

I was planted into a larger pot against a wall whilst Alphys and Asgore exchanged words. There was another plant in the pot with me, a fern. I tried to move it, but I couldn't even move myself. Thats when i realised i was moving it. I tried to make it bend, and it bent to my will. At that moment Alphys came over, saying "I think you s-should let me t-test you, just in case of a-  p-problem." I had no problem with that, i nodded my head. She carried me into a place that had a bathroom sign, saying "Don't t-tell Asgore.

"This is an elevator?" I asked in surprise. She nodded, saying that this was the true lab, left behind by the all but forgotten scientist.

Alphys set up a large, intimidating machine, which was called a Tester. I can tell Asgore named this. She uprooted me, cleaned of the dirt from my roots, which I flailed wildly due to the discomfort, and put me on a stand in front of it. The front end looked like it was meant to laser me.

Alphys quickly walked up to me, jabbed a needle into me (at which i said oww.) and withdrew a see-through liquid. Straight away i felt weak, but not so much to keep myself upways. I was stuck there for about 3 hours, maybe falling asleep somewhere along the way. Alphys came in and woke me up, telling me she paused the test for lunch. We had noodles, but we knew I couldn't eat anything too hot, so i ate them raw. They actually tasted better that way. Afterwards, the test resumed. After 2 more hours the test was over.

"So, I'm still a monster, with a physical body. I'm both magic and physical, but my magic isn't as strong as it should be. Am I correct?" I said, annoyed at how long that took. "Y-yes," was the response, "but what i-intrigues me more i-is how you dont h-have a- a- a SOUL." That shocked me, How am i a monster without a SOUL. How am i ALIVE?

We had a chat, discussing the details, before getting bored. Afterwards she decided to put me in a huge room filled with dirt. It was comfortable to be in dirt again. Alphys left me for a phone call, and i was alone. I tried to bury myself into the ground, to see what would happen. I was shocked at how i could burrow through the dirt at that speed. I also could sense where what was. I messed around with this newly discovered power, eventually figuring out i could burrow through anything hard with little effort. I popped up through the ground next to Alphys when she hanged up her phone.

"Howdy, Alphys," I said, making her jump. "Ohh!" she yelped. "Ho-how did you do that? You were in that room." she asked, in utter confusion. I honestly don't know myself. "I burrowed here, I guess? I can even go through most hard surfaces." This surprises Alphys, due to me being a delicate flower.
