Starlight looked about the park in Ponyville as monsters and ponies played. Huey, also known as Monster Kid, was acting a little like Diamond Tiara's puppy, catching things with his mouth. The act made Tiara chuckle, and her friend Silver Spoon shake her head with a chuckle. Nearby, Chara and several fillies were racing, per Undyne's gym instruction, the tyrant of a teacher making them work those muscles until Bulging Biceps would be jealous. Near a hayburger stand, Aaron was flexing for some ponies, who swooned at the seahorses form. The whole of the sight was rather invigorating, and it showed just how far monsters and ponies had come.

She returned to the book she was reading, a work in progress that Twilight and she had been compiling. Starlight was proofreading it, and had moved through a few words already detailing how Asriel technically made first contact as Flowey, and had been nommed by almost every pony in Equestria. The events that followed helped him to get a new soul, made from pieces of the strongest souls in Equestria and Asriel's own memories, still embedded in the flower.

She smiled as she read on.

"Shortly after Asriel had reunited with Frisk in Snowdin, the two traveled.....no, that doesn't sound right... the two embarked on a combined journey that would lead them into destiny for nboth Undertale and Equestria..."

****************

The two emerged from Snowdin, passing a shocked and delighted Papyrus, as Sans soon stopped them. He looked pretty pleased with himself, though for reasons he had yet to tell the duo.

"heyas." He said, leaving his stand. The two noticed then that no one else was around, and Frisk was afraid. The last time he said that was...

"Hi Sans." Asriel said, meekly. The Skeletons eyes were hollow, and he gave a sigh.

"kid, I don't know if your being funny or not, but people don't come back from the dead easily. yet I can tell you haven't hurt anyone. so I am a little confused kiddo. how is he here?"

Asriel stepped forward. "It's my doing, Sans. I was stuck as Flowey until Pinkie Pie..."

"Pinkie Pie?" Sans said. Asriel nodded.

"Yeah, she ate me up again and again and again and again and a..."

"i get the point." Sans said. Frisk now noticed Sans was not talking in his usual, laid back form.

"Are we in trouble?" He asked nervously."

Sans sighed, snapped his fingers, and made a Gaster Blaster appear. The two eeped.... and watched it fade, Sans chuckling.

"not at all kiddo." Sans said. "i already knew about pinks. truth is, after she took you to her Ponyland, i followed through a shortcut, and found this pony named starlight. she was dead set in wiping stuff out. but i showed her how good a human could be, how good, and how important, one soul really is."

Asriel blinked. "Starlight?"

Sans nodded. "i'll show you. just go through that door, and be sure to give her a hug. she kinda needs it."

Chara and Asriel nodded, going through a door that miraculously appeared behind Sans, and saw a light purple pony with a sad face. Sans was behind her (How he managed that the two had no idea!), and it was clear she had been through Hell.

Frisk smiled as she looked at him. "Well, I'm going to hug the Hell right out of ya." He said, he and Asriel hugging the pony, who sobbed into their chests. Behind them, Sans smiled and nodded.

"ok, i need to stop horsing around." He said.

*********************

Several days later, after returning to the underground, Asriel was reunited with his mom and dad, who were overjoyed that their boy was alive again. He told them all about Equestria, and how to get there, and how it would be a better way to reach the surface. Asgore pondered this, looking to the six souls who had died. Would their death be meaningless now?

Even as he said this, Toriel spoke up. Perhaps because of the SOULs was why she spoke up.

"I vote yes. These ponies gave us our child back, so I say we help their society in any way we can."

"WELL PUT, CLONE OF ASGORE! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, VOTE YES AS WELL!"

Sans shrugged. "bro, you realize as a trainee you don't get a vote right?"

Undyne chuckled. "Well I sure say yes, these ponies sound weak and need someone to make them tough for battle. And that is my specialty!"

Alphys shuddered as she posed, a slight trickle of blood coming out of her nose as the scientist watch the fearsome fishlady flex.

Asgore spoke up. "Still, I think we best send an ambassador. Frisk, you have befriended many of our number, and I think it would be the best choice if you were our ambassador to the ponies. Will you do it?"

Frisk nodded, Asriel nodding. "Gladly. I have a little practice."

At that, Sans chuckled. No one besides Frisk got the joke, but both he and Sans knew they had done this a few times. Soon plans were made to send Frisk to Equestria to meet the leaders and unite the populations. Frisk could only hope for the best.

*********

Meanwhile, in Equestria, Starlight had become the new pupil for Twilight, and after events in the Crystal Empire had settled down (including the Crystaling of a new baby alicorn), the focus was on the impending arrival of the monsters. They knew it would come sooner than later, and were waiting for their arrival. Twilight was key in preparing for it, but the limited information they had made preparations... less than what was hoped.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohnoohnoohno..." Twilight said as he rushed around the library, examining all kinds of books on ancient monsters. "How do I even greet them? Will they demand a sacrifice? If so who.... ok Pinnkie Pie was the one who kept eating that flower so maybe her... no I can't do that.... wait, what is this in here about monsters who eat our dreams?! Oh Luna will be so mad... oh nop what am I going to do?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?"

"TWILIGHT!!!" Spike shouted, taking hold of her face. "Snap out of it! The last time you tried to do this with a new race was with Yakyakistan. They don't know us yet and we don't know them! We have to show what WE are about and we go from there, okay!?"

Twilight took a deep breath. "Ok.... your right Spike. I just need to focus on our presentation. Everything will be fine. Just a bunch of monsters... from the underground.. who no one has seen before. . and whose prince every pony in Ponyville had as a Sunflower burger... oh we are so dead."

Spike facepalmed as Applejack walked in. "Sorry ta bother ya Twi but we gotta guest. Says he is representing the monsters."

Twuilight gulped. "Ok.... ok... I can do this. We can do this." She turned to Applejack. "Gather our friends in the main hall, we will meet him there. Spike, send a letter to Celestia, telling her how we have begun delegations."

Spike blinked. "How do you spell that?"

"Just tell her the monsters are here."

"Oh, ok." Spike penned it out and sent it off, while Twilight went to the main hall to meet the monster representing them. But when she and the others entered the main court, what they saw was NOT what they expected.

He was a small boy, a human, about ten or so, with a blue and purple sweater and a brown skin tone. His eyes were narrow and almost Asian, and he was smiling at the ponies. They just stared in wonder. THIS was their representative?

"Hi." Frisk said, coughing. "Ummmm.... on behalf of King Asgore and Queen Toriel, I am here to establish relations with the citizens of Equestria."

Twilight blinked, as Applejack spoke up. "Naw I reckon that was a plum polite way ta intro your race kiddo."

Twilight chuckled. "I agree. I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of friendhip. These are my friends. The orange one is Applejack."

Applejack tipped her hat and smiled.

"Next to her is Fluttershy."

Fluttershy edged closer, pokig the boy slightly, smiling sweetly. "Your so cute." She said, Frisk blushing. Twilight sighed but kept her smile as she motioned to the alabaster pony next.

"This is Rarity."

"Delighted little one. I must say though your outfit is quite adorable, brings out your inner child."

Frisk smiled. "Well, I have worn worse... I actually for a bit wore a dusty old tutu."

Images of Frisk in a tutu flooded Rainbow Dash's mind, and she began to snicker. Twilight shot her a nasty look.

"The snickering one is Rainbow Dash."

"Heh heh, sorry kiddo, but the idea of you in a tutu... it's just hilarious! But as for me I am the best flyer in all of Equestria, and am well known for my Rainbooms. Maybe someday you can see one!"

**************

At this point Starlight paused, recalling a certain incident, looking up as she saw Frisk playing with Scootaloo. If only Rainbow had known then what was to happen...

****************

"And I think you already know Pinkie Pie."

Frisk blinked as the pink pony bounced closer. He was first to speak.

"So... you ate my brother?"

Everyone froze, blushing. But Pinkie Pie just took it in stride.

"Yeah I gobbled him up and he was so sweet and salty and tender but he was a flowr then he was a goat but now I dont eat goats but goats eat ponies so if I am not careful he may eat me and why are you a human and hima goat oh are you adopted that is so cool that means your parents were chosen by love and when you have love you have it all and you need a party I need to make one for you and your friends and your family and your..."

"PINKIE PIE!" Everyone said at once, poor Frisk dizzy as she had spun about him the whole time, bouncing like a ball. She paused and looked, Frisk's eyes swirling and dizzy as could be. Pinkie blinked.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? I was just curious!"

"Sorry, but Pinkie Pie we haven't even let him say his name!"

Pinkie Pie blinked. "Oh YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She leaned in close to his face. "What's your naaaaaaaaaaaaame?" And she playfully licked his nose. "Mmm! Butterscotch and cinnamon!"

Everyone gasped as Frisk chuckled. "Yeah, mom's baking. It's a wonder I am not a big ball as much as I eat. Anyway my name is Frisk. Frisk Dreemurr, son of Asgore and Toriel Dreemurr, brother to Asriel Dreemurr, aka the God of Hyperdeath, Lords of Undertale."

Everyone blinked. Finally, From the back Starlight spoke.

"Now THAT is a cool intro."

Everyone chuckled as Frisk saw Starlight again. He smiled as she extended a hoof. "Starlight Glimmer, Twilight's student and former villian."

Frisk blinked. "Former?"

Starlight chuckled. "Yeah, Twilight has this way with her friends of turning things good. Just ask Discord or Luna or even Chrysalis. We all were former problems for Equestria... but now we are friends, both to this land and to each other. Of course I also have a certain skeleton to thank."

Frisk smiled. "Yeah. That would be Sans, and I have been there myself. But I know what you mean about having a lot of friends now. Every monster down in Undertale wanted my soul. But they are not bad monsters. Truth is... they are all my family, and I love them. And... I know you all will to."

From behind them, steps could be heard, as filing in were several monsters, young and old. The ponies gazed in awe at them, so varied and wonderful. A fish woman in armor with a toothy smile and an eyepatch. A laid back skeleton in a blue coat and slippers. A dinosaur in a labcoat with a geeky smile. A spider lady covered in pastry dough. And towering above them all and many more, two large bipedal goats, one in golden armor and royal robes, and the other in a blue robe and having a warm, almost heartwarming expression. Frisk smiled as they and many more walked in, Papyrus forcing his way through as he went.

"Everyone. I want you to meet my friends and family. Please... will you welcome us to Equestria?"

Twilight smiled some as out walked Asriel, shyly, but finally standing by his brother. She smiled some.

"I personally vote yes."

"Me two, these guys look awesome!"

"I reckon Ah say yes too."

"Yup yup YUP!"

"Oh it would be divine, and given how they look I am already inspired to make new creations for them!"

".................. please stay."

****************

Well, the rest was history. Celestia and Luna arrived soon after, and formal relations were opened. The monsters were allowed to move to Equestria, and were welcomed with the biggest, grandest party Ponyville had ever seen, put on by Cheese Sandwich, Pinkie Pie, and Mettaton. It lasted a whole week, and in the midst of it, new homes for the monsters were made, including a lovely little home for Toriel and her kids.

But that party was going to just be the beginning of a wonderful relation between monsters and ponies. In the time that followed, the two races grew and will always grow together, because of their friendship.

And Friendship, as everyone knows, is magic.

*************

Starlight finished the initial chapter on the monsters and ponies, marking any mistakes, eager to tell the tale. It was going to be a big one she knew, one perhaps that should include the author involvement, and all the adventures that led to Chara's rebirth. But what to call it?

"How about..... Undertales of Friendship?" Starlight wrote, finishing her final suggestion to Twilight. Somehow it felt right calling it that. Se stood up and put the chapter away, looking to the park. There were fresh water sausages on the grill, and Starlight could sure go for one of Sans' specialties.

"And the best part of the story..." She said to herself as she walked. "It really happened."
