//------------------------------// // Chapter 18: Skelebros house // Story: Little ray of sunshine // by KDS-Writingindustries //------------------------------// Celestia teleported to the skelebros house, slightly startling Papyrus. "AAGGHHH- OH, IT'S JUST YOU PONY" The alicorn giggled at the skeleton's behaviour "Hey Papyrus, I'm ready for the date now" The tall skeleton gasped "SO YOU CAME BACK TO HAVE A DATE WITH ME! YOU MUST BE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS...." Celestia's head slightly tilted 'Wait, we're going on a serious, romantic date? I thought it just a date between friends' Papyrus didn't notice the pony's confounded expression "I'LL HAVE TO TAKE YOU SOMEPLACE SPECIAL...A PLACE I LIKE TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME!!!" Papyrus told Celestia to follow him, they walked away from the skelebros house, only to return soon after. "MY HOUSE!!! the skeleton rushed in with the filly in tow. The skeleton brother's house was nice and warm, it felt welcoming. Celestia looked in awe at how big the house was from the inside "Wow, this place is amazing Papy!" Papyrus blushed from the nickname the pony gave him, the filly noticed "Oh, do you not like the nickname?" Papyrus quickly shook his head "NO NO! IT IS A NICE NAME, IT'S JUST THAT I'M NOT ADJUSTED TO YOU SAYING THAT...BUT I'M CERTAIN THAT I WILL GET USE TO IT!" Celestia smiled "Ok" she looked around the room, and saw something unusual "Hey, what's that rock doing there?" THAT'S MY BROTHER'S PET ROCK. HE ALWAYS FORGETS TO FEED IT. AS USUAL, I HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" The rock was covered in sprinkles. Celestia looked around the room again. The pony admired the T.V in the middle of the room, "I've heard about these, T.V things. I don't really have one of these in my house though" The filly turned on the television, a game-show popped up on the screen. Papyrus recognised the music theme that was playing "OOH, IT'S MY FAVORITE GAME-SHOW!" The screen said ('STAY TUNED FOR A NEW PROGRAM! - MTT') "WHAT!!! IT'S USUALLY BETTER THAN THIS! THIS IS JUST A BAD EPISODE!!! DON'T JUDGE ME!!!" The filly quietly snickered at Papyrus and changed the channel. The new channel was a music channel. The song that was playing appeared to be looping. Papyrus recognised the song "OOH, THIS SONG IS FANTASTIC! DID YOU KNOW ME AND SANS ONCE SANG THIS?" Celestia was shocked "Wait, are you telling me Sans sang this" "WELL YES, HE'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD SINGER....BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" Papyrus said while posing dramatically. "Heh heh, of course" Celestia hummed the tune as she explored more of the house, she found 20G in the couch, Papyrus didn't mind that she took it. The pony looked at a joke book, she opened it, only to see a small quantum physics book, she opened that, only to see a smaller joke book, she opened that, only to see a smaller quantum physics book. Celestia decided to stop at that ".....I don't get it....." The alicorn drew her attention to the kitchen, and was then immediately drawn to the giant sink. Papyrus saw the pony stare in awe, he dicided to gloat for a bit. "IMPRESSED? I INCREASED THE HEIGHT OF MY SINK. NOW I CAN FIT MORE BONES UNDER IT! TAKE A LOOKSY!" The pony opened the door, only to come face to face with the dog from earlier, still chewing Papyrus' special attack. "WHAT!?!?!? CATCH THAT MEDDLING CANINE!" The dog zoomed to Celestia's right, trying to evade the filly and accidentally bumping into the fridge spilling out some containers. Celestia quickly grabbed the dog with her telekinesis, but the dog somehow phased through the aura and continued forward until it jumped outside. "CURSES!!!" *WHAH WHAH WHAH WHHHAAAAAAHHHH* Celestia heard the trombone sound, it was most likely Sans who was playing it. Papyrus groaned "SANS!!! STOP PLAGUING MY LIFE WITH INCIDENTAL MUSIC!" "Papy" Celestia comforted him while hiding something behind her back "Don't be upsetti, have some spaghetti!" The filly punned as she revealed the leftover spaghetti from the fridge. *WHAH WHAH* "YOU'RE AS BAD AS MAKING JOKES AS SANS" Papyrus mumbled, Celestia heard the tall skeleton and felt a bit bad. "Well, uh....I'm pretty sure we should start that now" The pony sheepishly smiled. Papyrus snapped out of it pretty quickly and walked to his room, Celestia followed. "THIS IS MY ROOM! IF YOU'VE FINISHED LOOKING AROUND, WE COULD GO IN AND...DO WHATEVER PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY DATE???" The pony nodded and went inside with Papyrus. "Woah...nice room" the filly complemented as she trotted around the skeleton's room. She looked at the box of bones "These look familiar..." "WELL THEY SHOULD, BECAUSE THESE ARE ALL THE ATTACKS I USED ON YOU. GREAT MEMORIES HUH?" Celestia reluctantly nodded "SEEMS LIKE IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY... EVEN THOUGH IT BASICALLY JUST HAPPENED" They pony trotted to another interesting thing in the skeleton's bedroom, a black flag with a pony skull and crossbones. "What is this?" The filly asked. "ISN'T THAT FLAG NEATO? UNDYNE FOUND IT AT THE BAY...I THINK IT'S FROM THE PONY WORLD? NOW, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING. WHY WOULD A PONY FLAG...HAVE A PONYFIED SKELETON ON IT? WELL...I HAVE A THEORY. I THINK PONIES...MUST HAVE WORSHIPED SKELETONS!!! SO MUCH SO THAT THEY WANT TO BE SKELETONS!!! NYEH HEH HEH HEH!!" Papyrus explained, although Celestia didn't think that was the case. The alicorn looked at the computer "That's the Internet, right?" "WELL YES, I'M QUITE POPULAR THERE! I'M JUST A DOZEN AWAY... FROM A DOUBLE DIDGIT FOLLOWER COUNT! OF COURSE, FAME HAS A STEEP PRICE. A JEALOUS TROLL HAS BESIEDGE MY ONLINE PERSONA. ALWAYS SENDING ME BAD PUNS IN A GOOFY FONT..." Celestial resisted the urge to laugh. She instead focused on the array of books, she randomly picked out one of the books. Papyrus instantly recognised the title and spoke up "THAT BOOK'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES. 'ADVANCED PUZZLE CONSTRUCTION FOR CRITICAL MINDS'. THAT NEXT BOOK'S ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVOURITES. 'PEEK-A-BOO WITH FLUFFY BUNNY'. THE ENDING ALWAYS GETS ME." Celestia went through more of Papyrus' stuff, with said skeleton talking about the stuff and unintentionally making Celestia giggle and laugh. With everything interesting checked out, Celestia and Papyrus akwardly stood in front of each other. "SO, UM....SINCE YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING...DO YOU WANT TO START THE DATE?" He asked awkwardly. The filly felt confident and smile "Heck yeah!"
