The two were walking around a forest, discussing about Chara and Asriel’s current situation. “So how long have you two been like this?” Flowey asked.

“Uhm... A month by now, I think...” Asriel answered. They were both unaware that they were being watched.

(Not much is going on with the two siblings, and there are a few things I wanna do with Driela and also Frisk. So now they’re back to normal! I'll still continue any on-going threads of them in that state.)

Asriel and Chara both were laying down on each of their beds. They were glad that they were back to their normal selves. Though, that could change at anytime, but at least it didn't get any worse than it already was.

For a while now, he had an itch on his back—an itch that wouldn’t go away. He had tried letting Chara and Flowey scratch his back and even check to see if fleas have started infesting his fur. It wouldn’t go away, and he was getting annoyed of it.

He woke up in the middle of a night because his stomach wouldn’t stop rumbling. Tiredly walking downstairs for some food, he was finding what every kid wants—the cookie jar! He spotted it hanging on some vines at the ceiling along with a knife planted on it by the jar. He remembered that Chara and Flowey once fought for it a few days ago.

“Ugh, I’m too tired and hungry to use magic… and this itch isn’t helping!” He began to scratch his back once again. He then felt something… soft, and oddly cold on his back. Before he could check it, he winced his eyes as he felt a sharp pain on his his head. It stopped after a while, and when he placed a hand on it, he felt another horn!

He grew a bit happy about this. He turned his head to see what he felt on his back, and his eyes widened in shock as he has also grown a pair small wings! The wings were reminiscent of the ones during his 'Angel of Death' form. He stared at it in silence for a bit before saying to himself, "T-that solves my lack of magic problem."

Lying down on the couch, she began rubbing her head. She has did this multiple times, but maybe this time it’ll ease the pain.

A few minutes of head massaging herself, she felt something on her head—something… hard. It definitely wasn’t her skull as she felt that it was sticking out a bit. This confused her as she didn’t recall bumping her head on anything.

While she was caressing the unknown bulge, she winced her eyes as she felt it slowly protruding out of her head a small bit. She felt the same type of pain on another part of her head. It was as if a stake was being pulled out of her skull.

Asriel walked in the room and saw Chara groaning in pain on the couch. "Chara, is your headache still--" he gasped as he noticed the things sticking out of her head. "Ch-chara, y-you have h-horns growing on y-your head."

Chara wondered around wherever she was. She was still a Boss Monster, so no one would probably recognized her; she didn’t mind that, but she hoped that no one would be disgusted by her goopy right eye socket.

“Thank god, that grey magic is finally over. Chocolate may have tasted good, but the buttercup made me wanna throw up," Chara said as she wiped the goop dripping from her eye with a towel.

Asriel rubbed his right arm that was back to normal. Well, partly normal. It still had thorns along with some petals and leaves growing on it, but at least it wasn't fully made of plants (no offense, Flowey).

They say looking at flowers can help someone relax, so that’s what Asriel and Chara did. They were in the Ruins, sitting together in a bed of golden flowers.

“Are you sure this is gonna help?” Asriel asked, looking at Chara, who was trying to make a flower crown.

“I don’t know!” Chara yelled, throwing down the wire with a few flowers already placed on it. “This... thing has never happened to me before! So I don’t know how to stop it!” With a groan, she lay down on her back and covered her face with both of her hands.
