Flowey: (Laughs)

Song: Fallen Down by Alice Flare

Kristin: What a miserable creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth Do not be afraid, my child. It is I, Toriel, guardian of the ruins #Oh dear child #You've fallen down #It's dark and there's no one around #To guide you through the dark #But please don't you worry #Your little head #I'll be here #To guide you along #Right here, by your side #Through the maze #And teach you the way #Just take my hand #Don't be afraid #It has been so long since a human has #Come by here #You remind me of love I'd once known# Are you hurt innocent one?

Tommy: N-No, b-but I was scared.

Kristin: It’s okay now my child, there is no need to be afraid anymore. #Listen well #My dear child #You're going to grow up #And learn all that #Life will teach you #Your mother is always so proud #And you will never leave me #Here you will stay #Never will you be afraid #Here with me #You've fallen down, now get up #The underground isn't such #An awful place to live #Peacefully together #And who would need to see light of day? #Oh, my child #Bathed in light #I know that you're scared, that you've #Fallen down #But Toriel #Will spare your life #Come, my child #Let's move on #And live in my world and just #Maybe you #Could teach me #How you stayed determined and strong# Come with me, my child.

Freddie: T-Toriel, it’s me, Chara.

Kristin: My child…

Tommy: Call me Frisk.

Kristin: Oh, so Frisk, I need to attend some business so are you okay if you could go through the ruins more while I’m gone?

Tommy: Okay.

Kristin: Okay, see you at my home.

Tommy: See you later Toriel.

Paul and Derrick are heading to the stage.

Paul: C'mon, it's this way-

Derrick: Yeah, I know where the stage is.

Paul: Okay, I was just trying to be helpful. Sounds like they're on the Ruins song right now. You could probably go on-

Derrick: It is the Ruins song.

Song: Ruins by Echo Flower Productions

Tommy: #Here our adventure now begins #Are these monsters my foes or friends #Now that I am here, fallen down #What’s it like underneath the ground? #What I was told #In those stories from long ago #“They can’t be friends” #How can we know?#

Ensemble: #Now a human has fallen down #Arrived among us Underground #Will they choose to spare us or fight? #Will they lead us to dark or light? #Child from above #Are you who the legends spoke of? #What’s in your heart #Hatred or love?#

Freddie: #Why is my spirit still alive? #Why have I been brought back to life? #Hold up there, kid, don’t go that way! #You’re being too foolish and brave! #Don’t rush on through #No telling what you’ll get into#

Ensemble: #If the right choice #You choose to make #The barrier #Trapping us here will break #After all this time #Our freedom will soon #Will find…#

Derrick: If you would've been dedicated to the show and actually read the script, you would've known. #Now a human has fallen down #Arrived among us Underground#

Paul: As I was saying.

Derrick: What? I'm just improving the part.

Paul: You can probably go put on Frisk's costume and then go out whenever he has a costume change-

Derrick: Okay, why would I put on Frisk's costume? Tommy's literally wearing it and I literally already look like him.

Paul: Well, yeah, I mean, your interpretation is so good, so good. But the audience might not understand so I think you should probably go with what costumes have designed. And then you get to hug Tubbo and everything too which is what you want-

Derrick: Yeah, but that scene is so far away, I'm supposed to be going on as Frisk right now. The audience won't even have time to appreciate me.

Paul: Everyone just remembers the scenes in the game, that's literally all that matters, everyone just knows Frisk in his blue sweater.

Derrick: Okay yeah, that's kind of true, you're not wrong. But why are we back here now? That scene's so far away, we're just hanging out backstage now for what? I mean, I guess I could sing but-

Paul: Well, you obviously need to go find the costume and put it on, so it's good we have a lot of extra time. But Tommy's using it already.

Derrick: I mean, I guess. There are also spare costumes for the actors in case they got sweaty. Alright, let's go-

Paul: No, you'll be fine, you can go alone.

Derrick: What?

Paul: If we go together, it might be suspicious or something.

Derrick: We literally came back here together.

Paul: Just trust me, okay? I'm gonna stay back here and try to blend in with run crew and literally no one's gonna catch you, no one's even paying attention-

Mat: Hey!

Mat caught Paul and Derrick backstage.

Derrick: Alright, going, bye-

Song: Ghost Fight by Echo Flower Productions

Freddie: Oh boy…

Wilbur: zzzzzzzzzz…(are they gone yet) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Freddie: Typical, the ghost is saying ‘zzzzzz’ out loud, pretending to be asleep. Some things clearly haven’t changed.

Tommy: Who is this?

Freddie: That’s Napstablook. Blooky never really had a sense of humor.

Wilbur: Oh, I’m REAL funny.

Freddie: Wait, you can hear me?! That’s impossible!

Wilbur: Well, you’re a ghost, right?

Freddie: I guess.

Wilbur: Ghosts can kinda hear other ghosts.

Freddie: So I can be heard by exactly two people. Yay.

Wilbur: #Oh! #Wait, am I in your way? #I guess I shouldn’t stay in this show #I shouldn’t lie around #It’s better if I just go #I prefer being alone that’s true #But I guess it’s nice to now meet you #You sound like someone I know #From years ago #Not feeling up to remembering #I’m not here to enjoy the view #I just hang around #This place is the best for the loneliest #Guy in the underground #I’m feelin’ blue, won’t bother you #I’ll get out of your way#

Tommy: #You don’t have to leave, come on Blooky #Why not cheer up and stay#

Wilbur: really? I don’t see the point. I usually come here to be alone.

Tommy: You don’t have to be alone, we’re here now!

Freddie: What do you mean “we”?

Tommy: #Hey! #Cheer up, Blooky #So you’re a bit gloomy, well that’s okay #Don’t have to be sad #I’ll cheer you up anyway! #Now come on, just smile, it’s alright! #To tell the truth, I don’t want to fight #All I want us for us to be friends #Is there some way that I #Can make it right?#

Wilbur: #Well #I admit, #Maybe a bit, you could try it #But despite your cheer #I’m not really feelin’ up to it#

Freddie: #Frisk, you really baffle me, I swear #It’s surprising that you seem to care #But thinking you can just go #Smile on through #To be frank you just do not have a clue#

Tommy: #Well why not try? Blooky, don’t cry! #You don’t have to leave#

Wilbur: #Hey don’t mind me, ‘cause casually #I just lie down and grieve #I’d just weigh you down as my tears fell down #I’m still feelin’ blue #If you try to improve my gloomy mood #Don’t know what you could do#

Tommy: Hmm… hey Blooky, want to hear a joke?

Wilbur: Sure, I guess.

Tommy: What is a ghost’s favourite play? Romeo and Ghouliet!

Freddie: Ugh, seriously?! That’s worse than mum’s jokes!

Wilbur: Heh… ha ha ha… that is kind of funny. Hey, I want to show you something… I call it, “Dapper-blook”. I made it with my tears… Do you like it?

Tommy: I think it’s cute!

Wilbur: Really?

Tommy: Sure! Or should I say “dapper”?

Freddie: Really? REALLY?!

Wilbur: Ha ha ha ha… Oh gee… #Hey! #You think it’s okay? #Can’t believe you are so nice to me #What’s this feelin’? #For once I’m cheerful again #Perhaps I don’t ruin anything #Mind if I maybe join you and sing? #For once things seem brighter #For me now #As we sing along to this jazzy swing#

Tommy: #Hey there’s that smile! #I like your style! #Feeling better now?#

Wilbur: #In this afterlife, hey I kinda like #Having someone around #For once I feel like I am real #Everything seems so clear#

Both: #There’s no need to be constantly lonely #In the Ruins here#

Tommy: #See? You don’t have to be sad! #Is having new friends really so bad?#

Wilbur: #You’re quite a ray of sunshine #I feel pretty fine #This is one day I’ll be remembering#

Both: #It’s not so bad after all #Having new friends on which you can call #New pal of mine #Thing will be fine #Nice to have another friend by my side#

Wilbur: Well, it was nice meeting you two. Bye, I guess. Come to Waterfall if you ever want to say hi or… or not…

Tommy: Okay, see you there.

Freddie: Frisk, let’s go. What the? Frisk let’s go.

Tommy: What happened?

Freddie: We’re actually stuck together, I can’t go if you don’t move forward.

Tommy: Sorry.

Freddie: Well that’s all of the ruins.

Tommy: Welp, let’s go in.

Kristin: Welcome home Frisk, I’ve prepared some pie for you. It is butterscotch-cinnamon pie.

Tommy: I hope it’s better than chocolate.

Kristin: My child, I know it’s better than chocolate. I will give it to you later.

Tommy: Okay mum.

Kristin: Did… did you just call me… Mum?

Tommy: W-Well… yeah.

Kristin: Frisk… my child… would that make you happy?

Tommy: If-if you’re okay with it.

Kristin: Well then, you may call me whatever you like! Are you tired?

Tommy: A-a little mum.

Kristin: Come with me. I have something to show you.

Frisk and Toriel, with Chara behind, went to a room in Toriel’s house which is where Frisk will be sleeping.

Kristin: A room of your own, I hope you like it.

Mat caught Derrick and Paul backstage as Derrick left.

Paul: Hi.

Mat: Hi! What are you doing back here?

Paul: Oh, erm... well, it's a long story, actually-

Mat: Oh great! Great! Don't wanna hear it. Don't care. You guys think you can just come backstage whenever you want? You think nothing's gonna happen? Literally, you think no one would see you if you came back here? Do you know how many people are back here? You're lucky you even got as far as you did.

Paul: No, er... I saw him trying to sneak backstage, so I was coming back here trying to stop him.

Mat: No, no no, you were coming back here to support him.

Paul: No, I swear, I wouldn't lie.

Mat: Just like you wouldn't lie about my son, Oli, Kristin and Phil's horns.

Paul: Toby was your son?

Mat: Yes, adopted him, long story.

Paul: That was in the past, I've changed.

Mat: You're really gonna try to pull that one? Really? I'm not talking back here, I'm not talking back here. Hallway, Hallway now.

Paul: Okay fine.

Then, Wilbur came in as Napstablook with his ghost costume off so now he's just wearing a full-body leotard.

Wilbur: What are you-

Mat: Hey, shh.

Meanwhile, Karen heard Wilbur because his mic wasn't off.

Karen: How unprofessional, couldn't even be surprised.

Back backstage, Mat talked to Wilbur but he was whispering.

Mat: Your mic wasn't off.

Wilbur: Oh, sorry-

Mat: Okay, hallway.

Song: Home by Adriana Figueroa

Kristin: #Come my child #Stay with me #I'll protect you and your dreams #Rest my child #Neath the tree #Like it's branches reach for me #So let me keep you safe and warm here in my arms #Think of the life that we could live, the joy that it could give #Even if we're worlds apart, stay in my heart #Someday when you've a choice to make, I hope you'll think of me #Think of me #Think of me#

Toby: #Maybe we'll #Meet again #And you'll have made many friends #But if you #Find you've strayed #I'll forgive you anyway #So stay determined as you grow, love as you go #Think of the kindness that I've shared and cherish those who care #Even when we're worlds apart, stay in my heart #Someday you'll have a choice to make, I hope that you'll be good #Please be good #Please be good...#

Soon, Frisk woke up and saw a piece of Butterscotch-Cinnamon pie lying on the floor. He picked it up and sat on his bed while he started to eat. Then Chara started talking to him.

Freddie: So, why did you wake up, it is like 3:00 AM here.

Tommy: Chara, we can’t see the sun, we are in the Underground. Well, I won’t be here that long, I’m going to leave. I’m going back to the surface.

In the dressing room, Martha and Alice were talking about the cast party with Derrick.

Martha: I'll probably come, probably, I mean, cast parties are always fun. Just going after the show, right?

Derrick: Yeah, cast parties are always fun, aren't they? So, after the show at Nando's?

Alice: Er... what are you?

Karl: Oh, I dunno if not people in the cast or crew can come.

Derrick: No, it's okay, I was actually just put in the tech position crew.

Karl: Oh, really?

Martha: No, not really. You need to leave right now.

Derrick: I know I wasn't allowed on tech or something but the directors just came up to me during the show and said we need you backstage for tech. So I said, 'okay' and here I am. Do you know where Frisk's spare costume would be?

Karl: Why are you looking from Frisk's costume?

Derrick: I'm just trying to find Frisk's costume-

Alice: Again? Oh great. Nice. And you think we're just gonna tell-

Karl: Err... I saw Frisk's costume backstage, not in here.

Martha: Karl.

Derrick: Thanks Karl, I know I can always count on you.

Alice: Okay no, I'm going to get the stage manager. I'm gonna go find the stage manager, I need someone to back me up on this.

Freddie: What?! Why do you want to leave? Is this a joke?! Are you brain-dead?!

Tommy: You’re sounding like Flowey.

Freddie: Whatever! What could you possibly have up there, anyway? You even called Toriel “Mom”, like I used to! I’m guessing you didn’t have the best surface life, if that’s the case. Can’t say I’m surprised. But if that’s true, why the HECK do you want to go back to the surface?

Tommy: I made a promise.

Freddie: A promise? To WHO?! To the HUMANS who don’t DESERVE promises?!

Tommy: Not exactly… to myself.

Song: Frisk’s Promise by Echo Flower Productions

Tommy: #In that world up above #Where the sun shines down #They told us the stories of #The monsters underground #They said up in our world #Monsters could not belong #But I couldn’t help but wonder if #What they thought was wrong #So I swore to myself one day #The solemn promise that I made #I’d climb up Ebott’s mountain peak #To discover the world beneath #I’d stay both determined and strong #To see if I can prove them wrong #I climb the trail, hoping to know #The truth of that strange world below #So on this fateful day #I thought of what I learned #I know that those who climb Mt. Ebott #Are said to not return #Determination drove me, call it #Foolishness or chance #As I climb the mountain trail #I walked without a backwards glance #Followed the trail as I fell down #And found myself here underground #At first I felt lost and afraid #But held to the promise I made #I stayed both determined and strong #Monsters aren’t bad, they all were wrong #But I can’t stay in this world below #I just want to go home…#

Freddie: Okay I get it, so let’s go.

Tommy: Hey Toriel, can I ask you something?

Kristin: Really? Well sure thing, I really like to let you know that I was very good at education. It may come to surprise you but I always wanted to be a teacher one day.

Tommy: Erm... no Toriel it’s not that, do you know where I can go home?

Kristin: (noticed) Wha...? But Frisk, this is your home. How about you see what kind of book I’m reading, it’s called 51 Facts About Snails, do you know how Snails moves really slow? Because they have terrible shoe laces, very interesting.

Tommy: Yeah, but can you just please tell me where I can get back to the surface?

Kristin: (worried) I have to do something, please stay right here.

Tommy: Toriel wait! Can you tell me something?

Kristin: Do you wish to return to the surface?

Tommy: Yes, I do.

Kristin: There is an exit to the end of the ruins... but I cannot let you pass, I have to destroy it and no-one will never leave the ruins ever again.

Tommy: (shocked) But Toriel, why no-one ever leaves the ruins?

Kristin: I see it all... They come, they leave... They die. If you leave the ruins, they... Asgore will kill you, I’m only protecting you do you understand? Go to your room.

Tommy: Toriel please, I really want to go back.

Kristin: If you want to leave...Then prove yourself... Prove to me you are strong enough to survive.

Song: Heartache by Echo Flower Productions

Kristin: #My dear child, #Why won’t you listen to me?#

Tommy: I’m so sorry, Toriel, but I can’t stay down here.

Kristin: #Frisk, why do you want to leave?#

Tommy: #Please forgive me#

Kristin: #I just want what’s best for you #I don’t want you to go #You’ll be killed #If you venture out there alone#

Tommy: #I know you’re scared of the unknown#

Kristin: #Just stay here, you’ll be safe at home #What is it you #Are still trying to prove? #Why won’t you stay? #Each step’s a danger out there #Trust me that it’s true #Understand, my child, #Here I will take care of you #I don’t want you to die out there too#

Tommy: #Toriel, listen to me #Understand and see #You will be here in my heart #Even if we have to be apart#

Both: #In this new path I must start #Both my SOUL and yours resonate #With the pain #Of this choice that I have to make #My SOUL breaks with loss and heartache#

Kristin: Frisk, I know you want to go home but... we can have a good life here.

Tommy: Toriel, I know that you want me to be safe but please just let me pass.

Kristin: Why are you making this so difficult? Go to your room. No, I understand. Because you were unhappy here for a long time, so I will put myself aside.

Tommy: You mean, you’ll let me go?

Kristin: Yes, but Frisk before you leave the ruins can you promise me for one thing?

Tommy: What is it?

Kristin: Please do not come back, I hope you understand.

Song: Fallen Down Reprise by Man On The Internet

Kristin: #Couldn't save a child #Who's fallen down #But the ruins get very small around #You'd be unhappy here #Expectations, loneliness, and fear #I'll put them aside #For you, I cannot #Still be by your side #I wish I could #My child, please be good# I’ll miss you, my child, and, promise me one thing, promise me you’ll always stay determined.

Tommy: I will, Mum… I promise.

Freddie: Frisk, let’s go.

Tommy: Bye Mum.

Song: Your Best Friend Reprise by Echo Flower Productions

Dream: #You think you’re clever? #You aren’t a killer #But you think you’ll survive #Kill or be killed #That’s the rule in this world #So you’ll remain alive #I’m the prince who makes the rules #In this world of useless fools! #They will take your SOUL #I’ll gain back control #That’s how this world is run! #Facing one like you #What is it you’ll do? #All this will be quite fun!# You think you aren’t a killer, little monarch?

Tommy: I’d never kill anyone!

Dream: So you say. Good luck with that kiddo.

Freddie: Ugh, he’s right about one thing. I know for a fact that you won’t last long out there on your own.

Tommy: But-

Freddie: #You’re just a human #Naive and clueless #If you go out alone #You’ll surely get hurt #If you don’t die first #And you’ll never get home #We’re joined together #Maybe forever #So I’m stuck here with you #Guess I’ll be your guide #So that you won’t die #I’ll have to help you through#

Tommy: You don’t really want to help, do you?

Freddie: Nope. But I don’t have a choice! Ugh, come one, let’s go.

Cassie: (yawns) Well, that was a nice nap. These 2 kids… they must just be what woke us up again.

Bill: Seems they’ve already begun showing mercy.

Cassie: Heh. How boring. Apparently they’ll need some help going on the right path.

Bill: “Right” path? For the last time, killing won’t get you anywhere!

Cassie: What would you know? You couldn’t make Flowey good, and he’s survived longer than any of those other children who fell. You’ll see it my way, and so will they. They just need a little push in the right direction.

Bill: These 2 have more determination than the others. So good luck with that.

Cassie: I have my ways...

Tommy: Chara, I was thinking that we could be friends.

Song: Let’s Be Friends by Echo  Flower Productions

Freddie: Ugh, seriously? Give it up Frisk! You think I could be friends? With you?

Tommy: Well, I hope we could-

Freddie: Look, okay? #Frisk really, I don’t understand #You want us to be friends somehow #You’re just a human after all #Give me one reason to trust you now #Forget kindness and flattery #Just leave me be! I know you can #Forget about us being friends#

Tommy: #That’s not the person that I am #Chara, why is it that we can’t be friends?#

Freddie: #I’m not listening#

Tommy: #Whatever broke your SOUL, I’ll help it to mend#

Freddie: #I can’t hear you!#

Tommy: #We’re stuck together, but I hope you see#

Freddie: #Frisk, just shut up!#

Tommy: #That we can get along down here, you and me#

Freddie: You’re kidding right? You’re more foolish than I thought.

Tommy: Well, we’re on this adventure together. Why can’t we be friends?

Freddie: Adventure? What is this, some sort of game to you?! #This “adventure” that lies ahead #I say “Screw it! Forget that!” #It’s bad enough that I’m not just dead #But tethered to some human brat!#

Tommy: #Chara, why not give it a try? #It won’t kill you#

Freddie: HELLO?!

Tommy: Oh, right. #I know that we both disagree #But please can’t you try to trust me#

Freddie: #Why try to be my friend, it’s all hopeless!#

Tommy: Chara, please?

Freddie: #You can’t change someone who’s awoken soulless!#

Tommy: I can try to!

Chara: #You’re human, I know that’s one thing that’s true#

Frisk: We’re not all bad

Freddie: #And now I’m forced to pal around here with you#

Tommy: #Chara, just listen, please#

Freddie: #Why should I#

Tommy: #Try to see#

Freddie: #Whatever!#

Tommy: #I’m not bad, you can trust me#

Freddie: That’s what they all say!

Tommy: #There’s bitterness#

Freddie: You just realised that?

Tommy: #In your SOUL #Why can’t you just let it go?#

Freddie: #No I will not let it go!# Ugh! #Each step you take, I’m forced to follow #Please tell me it’s a bad dream #This situation’s hard to swallow #And it just makes me want to scream#

Tommy: #But since you are here guiding me #We can still get along I know #I trust that we can work things out#

Freddie: Frisk, let’s just GO.

Chara is about to go but he is stuck because Frisk isn’t moving.

Freddie: Ah- what the-? Ugh! This again! Um, hello?!

Tommy: What?

Freddie: We’re stuck together, remember? I can’t help you if you don’t move forward!

Tommy: Oh, right. Sorry.

Freddie: Ugh… I hate this SO freaking much.

Back in the dressing room, Derrick is preventing Karl from getting out.

Karl: Oh, I need to go on-

Derrick: Woah, wait. Karl, I mean.

Karl: What? Gonna groom me like those actresses or something?

Derrick: You'll just go? Like that?

Karl: Well, yeah, it's my entrance.

Derrick: I just, I mean, I just wanted to say something to you for a quick second, just, thank you so much-

Karl: Yeah, I need-

Derrick: Okay, well, it's really rude, you need to let me finish because I'm not done talking to you. I mean, I'm not mad at you or anything, I could never be mad at you, you're so amazing. (whispers to self) Even if he's gonna ruin this show.

Karl: My entrance is now-

Derrick: Yeah, yeah, I get it, I'm aware, I know how theatre works. I've done so many shows, I've done more shows than you've ever done because this is your second show. Which is fine because you're really talented, Karl, but, I mean, I'm aware you don't need to tell me you have an entrance coming up because I know. But this is more important right now, I'm trying to talk to you.

Karl: I don't have time to talk right now-

Derrick: Okay fine, since you just have no time to talk, why don't I just go onstage with you?

Karl: What?

Derrick: It's okay, your entrance isn't gonna be late because I'm going to go on with you as Frisk, the audience won't even notice.

Karl: No, no, I need to go on-

Derrick: Okay, yeah, I'm gonna let you go on, Karl, I'm going to let you but I'm just going to walk with you to your entrance-

Karl: I don't want you to walk me to my entrance-

Derrick: Can you just take like 5 seconds and listen to me? Because you are really handsome and smart and I wanna do the same thing I did with the others. That's how I feel towards all the younger actors and actresses.

Karl: So you wanted to rape me? Groom me even? Dude, I'm asexual and I am not interested in you. I like Nick. I am not letting myself be your victim and since when do you want to do this with guys? Anyway, I need to go on, my entrance is right now and I'm gonna miss it. And there's no way Luke's gonna take over for me anyway. And you're not Frisk. You never were Frisk, you're not going to be Frisk.

Derrick: Okay, but I should be, I should be.
