Work Text:
In a small office in the omega timeline, a call was received:
"Howdy! Asgore and son landscaping, how can I help you?"
"Hi- *cough cough* There is a large tree I would like to have transplanted. My kids and I are rather attached to it, but I fear it is in the way of local construction. Can you transport it into a different AU?"
"Of course! What AU did you have in mind?"
The voice on the other end of the line went into a coughing fit.
"Ma'am are you alright?"
"Any AU is fine, so long as my children can be transported there too. I don't have much time left... Don't let anyone eat the apples... please..."
"Apples? Ma'am? MA'AM???"
The call went silent.
Asgore and Asriel looked up at the apple tree in awe. A part of Asgore wondered how a monster with a multiversal cell plan ended up in a medieval AU. Chara sat in the front seat of the truck, texting on their phone. Between the roots of the massive tree two child-sized skeleton monsters slept. Those were undoubtedly the twins the now-deceased parent was referring to.
"Woah- Dad this tree's roots go deep. " Asriel said, pulling Asgore out of his thoughts.
"It should be fine, nothin' we can't handle- Oh. Those are really deep roots."
Both Father and son had nature oriented powers, but Asgore had seen many more trees in his day. Before the king’s AU was destroyed, he had helped many trees move their roots to more suitable locations. This tree surpassed all those other trees. The roots seemed to stretch on forever, past the end of the world and on to the multiverse. This was going to be their biggest job yet.
Asgore and Asriel got to work using their magic to uproot the tree. Meanwhile, Chara got started on their unofficial babysitting job that they'd been dragged along to assist with.
"Heya there." Chara knelt down as they addressed the kids. "Your mom asked us to move this tree. Do you mind coming with me for a moment while we work on that?"
One of the skeletons woke up, rubbing their eyesockets. "Mmm? Are you the movers? Momma said you'd be here."
"Yup, that's right. Your momma asked us to move this tree."
The other twin had woken up and presently shouted. "Hooray! Momma said this AU was full of evil people, E-V-I-L!" The little skeleton danced as they got up. "C'mon Nighty! Let's go!"
Chara lead the twins to the truck, wondering just what exactly they had gotten themselves into.
