Chapter 3: Adventure time

////Snowdin Town////

The next morning, Miguel awoke to the gentle patter of snow against his window. He stretched and yawned, feeling a sense of excitement bubbling within him for the adventures that lay ahead.

As he made his way downstairs, he found Sans and Frisk already waiting for him, their faces bright with anticipation.

"Morning, sleepyhead!" Sans greeted him with a grin. "Ready for another day of exploration?"

Miguel nodded eagerly. "Absolutely! I can't wait to see more of this amazing place."

Frisk smiled. "We've got some exciting places to show you today. But first, how about some breakfast?"

They made their way to the inn's dining area, where a hearty breakfast awaited them. As they ate, they discussed their plans for the day, sharing ideas and suggestions for places to visit.

"So, what's on the agenda?" Miguel asked between bites of toast.

Frisk tapped their chin thoughtfully. "Well, I was thinking we could check out the Snowdin Forest. It's full of interesting creatures and hidden treasures."

Sans nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a plan. And maybe we'll stumble upon some shortcuts along the way."

Miguel's eyes lit up with excitement. "That sounds amazing! I can't wait to see what we find."

As they finished their meal, Frisk glanced out the window at the snowy landscape. "It's a beautiful day. Perfect for exploring."

Sans grinned. "Couldn't agree more. Let's hit the road!"

After breakfast, they set out into the snow-covered streets of Snowdin, the fresh morning air invigorating their spirits. Frisk led the way, their eyes sparkling with excitement as they pointed out various landmarks and hidden gems.

As they walked, they chatted and joked with each other, their laughter echoing through the quiet streets.

"So, Miguel, what's the surface world like?" Sans asked, breaking the silence.

Miguel smiled. "It's...different. Busy, crowded, but also full of life and energy. I miss it sometimes, but there's something special about the quiet beauty of the underground."

Frisk nodded. "I know what you mean. There's a kind of peace here that you can't find anywhere else."

They continued their conversation as they walked, sharing stories and anecdotes about their lives before coming to the underground. Miguel felt a sense of camaraderie growing between them, grateful for the friendship he had found in this strange new world.

Suddenly, Frisk stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed on something in the distance. "Look!" they exclaimed, pointing towards a small clearing in the forest.

Curious, Miguel and Sans followed their gaze and gasped in amazement. The clearing was filled with colorful flowers and fluttering butterflies, a peaceful oasis amidst the snowy landscape.

"It's beautiful," Miguel whispered, his voice filled with wonder.

Frisk grinned. "I told you Snowdin was full of surprises. Let's take a closer look!"

They spent the morning exploring the forest, marveling at its beauty and discovering hidden wonders around every corner.

As they emerged from the forest, the sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the snowy landscape. Miguel felt a sense of contentment wash over him, grateful for the adventures he had shared with his new friends.

"Thanks for showing me around, guys," he said, turning to Frisk and Sans with a smile. "I had a great time."

Frisk smiled back, their eyes shining with happiness. "Anytime, Miguel. We're glad to have you here with us."

With their hearts full of warmth and their spirits soaring, they made their way back to Snowdin.

As they walked back through the streets of Snowdin, Miguel couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the friends he had found in this strange underground world. The town seemed to welcome them back with open arms, the warm glow of the streetlights casting a comforting aura over everything.

Sans stretched his arms lazily as they walked. "That was a pretty great day, huh? And we didn't even run into any trouble."

Frisk nodded. "Yeah, it was nice to just relax and enjoy the beauty of Snowdin."

Miguel smiled. "Definitely. Thanks again for showing me around. I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of this place."

Sans chuckled. "You're a quick learner, kid. Before you know it, you'll be navigating the underground like a pro."

They reached the inn and bid each other goodnight, each heading to their respective rooms for some well-deserved rest.

As Miguel lay in bed, he couldn't help but think about the adventures that lay ahead. He felt a sense of excitement building within him, eager to explore more of the underground and uncover its secrets.

With a contented sigh, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, knowing that whatever the future held, he had friends by his side to face it together.

////Next Morning////

The next morning, Miguel rose to the soft light filtering through his window, casting a warm glow on the room. He stretched, anticipation tingling in his veins for the day ahead. As he descended the stairs, the aroma of sizzling bacon and fresh coffee greeted him, courtesy of the inn's kitchen.

"Morning, Miguel!" Sans greeted him with his characteristic grin, flipping a pancake with expert precision. "Ready for another adventure-filled day?"

Miguel grinned back, settling into a seat at the table. "You bet! What's on the agenda?"

Frisk joined them, laying out a map of Waterfall on the table. "I thought we could explore Waterfall today. There's so much to see—Echo Flowers, the serene scenery, and maybe even meet some new friends."

Sans nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a plan. Waterfall's got some real hidden gems. Plus, it's always fun to see what surprises the underground has in store for us."

Miguel sipped his coffee, excitement bubbling within him. "I can't wait! Let's go."

As they made their way towards Waterfall, Miguel found himself drawn into conversation with Frisk about the wonders of the underground.

"So, Frisk, what's your favorite thing about living down here?" he asked, curiosity coloring his voice.

Frisk smiled, their eyes alight with enthusiasm. "I think it's the sense of community. Everyone looks out for each other, and there's always someone ready to lend a helping hand."

Miguel nodded, taking in the peaceful surroundings. "That sounds amazing. It's something I've never really experienced before."

Sans chuckled. "Yeah, the underground's got its own charm, that's for sure. You'll see what we mean when we get to Waterfall."

As they approached the entrance to Waterfall, Miguel's anticipation grew, eager to explore this new area with his newfound friends.

The cavern opened up before them, revealing a breathtaking landscape of cascading waterfalls and vibrant vegetation. Miguel couldn't help but gasp in awe at the sight.

"Wow," he breathed, his voice barely above a whisper.

Frisk grinned. "Pretty amazing, right? And this is just the beginning."

Together, they ventured deeper into Waterfall, immersing themselves in its beauty and tranquility. Miguel felt a sense of wonder wash over him with each step, grateful for the chance to experience this magical world with Sans and Frisk by his side.

As they explored, they encountered a group of Temmies working on a colorful mural made entirely of flakes.

"Hey, guys!" Frisk called out, waving to them. "What are you working on?"

The Temmies turned around, their faces lighting up with excitement. "Hoi! We making art! It pretty, yes?"

Miguel smiled at them. "It's incredible! You're all so talented."

The Temmies giggled and thanked him before returning to their work, their creativity sparking something within Miguel's own heart.

As the day drew to a close, Miguel found himself filled with a sense of gratitude for the experiences he had shared with Sans and Frisk. As they made their way back to Snowdin, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of belonging in this underground world.

As they bid each other goodnight and retreated to their homes, Miguel knew that he had found true friends in Sans and Frisk, and he couldn't wait to see what adventures awaited them next.
