“What are you saying?” Template questioned. “I’m saying, there’s somebody else out there like you.” X!Frisk responded. “Yeah right.” She responded. “You’ll see one day. Just gotta stay determined.”
Template shook her head, and went for a long walk. Of course, she got lost in her thoughts.
“Experiment seven has failed.”
“W-What?!”
A flash of purple light and a scream caused Template to let out a small gasp. “You okay?” X!Frisk asked.
“I’m fine.” She responded with a small sigh.

Cross saw a figure in the distance. Nobody was ever around here but him. Who would be here? He created his knife. “Who would that person be?” He questioned. “I don’t know, but they look suspicious. Look at how they glitch between two figures.” Chara responded. “You shouldn’t trust anyone who glitches like that…” He chuckled, causing Cross to glare at him. The figure sat down, probably doing something on its phone.

Template wasn’t on her phone. She was crying, the sound of tears filling up the silence around her.

Cross silently walked up to her. He heard… Crying? He heard the teardrops and slight sniffling. He saw her glitch into X!Frisk. “Hey… Are you alright?” He asked. “W-Who are you?” She wiped her tears away and stood up, sword suddenly in hand. Her red and grey heterochromatic eyes glared into his. “Cross.” He replied, taking out his own knife. She glitched into X!Frisk. “Cross, huh?” She shook her head and was back as the skeleton from earlier. “Template.”
Template… That name… It reminded Cross of an old friend. He wasn’t sure who though.
Template let out a sigh. “I’m not even in the mood to fight.” She sighed. “Come on! Stay determined!” X!Frisk said to her. “Shut the hell up.” She snarled at X!Frisk.
“I didn’t want to fight either.” Cross said. She looked straight into his eyes. “Yeah right, with that big a** knife you probably want to rip me to pieces.”
“And what would be the point to that?”

Template just let out a scoff. “Why is the first time I have ever seen you? I’ve been through all of the main AU’s…”
“I only stay in them for as long as needed, and never come back.” He replied.
“Hmph.” She grumbled a little, nuzzling into her hoodie.
“Well, I’ve already done my business here…” He said, suddenly disappearing.
“Like I care…” Template muttered. “Nobody out there is like me… Why would anybody try to talk to me?” She got up, looking around before going to her ‘home’. It wasn’t much, but it was something. Her home was Error’s. She was taken in by Error and considered him her brother. They did get along pretty well. Template let out a grumble and threw her hoodie off, the white shirt billowing out. She laid back.
“Who was that ‘Cross’ guy anyways?” Template asked X!Frisk. “Someone I corrupted.” He replied.
“Pfft… Musta been stupid…” She took her soul out and gazed at it. She let out a sigh before putting it back. She glitched into X!Frisk before going back.
“Hey, Temp!” Error said.
“Hey, Error…” She responded. He had always called her Temp or Tempy. He gave her a small hug. She hugged back, letting out a sigh. She closed her eyes. “I’m thinking of visiting Fell later…” She said. He nodded. She let out a small yawn. She nuzzled into him a bit. Error let out a small chuckle. “Best if you visit him now.” Template nodded. She went to Underfell. As she went to Snowdin, she soon discovered that Snowdin was gone. “W-What?!” She said. As she looked around, her eyes widened. “Fell?” She called out. “Anyone?” She fell to the ground. “I… I’m the protector of the AU’s! I-I failed!” She began crying.

Her red cape rose in the wind, making a flapping noise. “I’m such a failure…” She said. “How could I have missed it?” She let out a small sigh. “I’m sorry, Fell…” Fell was her best friend. Her breath was uncontrollable as she broke down. “You’ll forever be in my dreams…” She let out a sigh. “I should have been there for you…”
"Template?" Fell said.
“Y-You’re okay?!” Template got up and hugged him tightly. "He just took Snowdin... We're still here."
“Who did?” She growled, clenching her fist a little and her eyes flaring a little. "I-I'm not sure... He was fighting Ink though."
“I’ll ask Ink then.” She said, opening a portal. “Stay safe, okay?” She said before going to Ink. He nodded, watching her go.
“Ink. Who destroyed Snowdin in Underfell?”
"Huh? Oh..." He looked down sadly. "Cross..."
“Him, huh. He will die.” She snarled, creating her sword and holding it tightly.
