Pinkie rubbed up against and kissed Toriel after seeing the wound as soon as she got her robe off, the goat lady pulled out of the kiss to use the medical kit she received from Napstablook. She was bleeding quite badly after taking a spear through the left side of her hip.
Undyne was in a worse position even if she did look better off. At least Undyne was in a stable condition even if she was overheating. She laid there watching as Pinkie and Gyftrot assisted Toriel in bandaging her injury.
“Are you going to be okay Tori?” Pinkie no longer had any lingering anger for Undyne; she was just loaded with buckets of worry for Toriel though.
Toriel didn’t answer and just calmly rubbed the side of Pinkie’s neck softly while giving her a smile. She was hurting, but she wasn’t going to stop traveling now.
“Ugh, it’s so hot around here.” Gyftrot was starting to sweat and Pinkie didn’t look comparatively bad in heat.
“Really, I don’t feel anything.” Pinkie walked to the edge with the water cooler and looked over to see the blazing hot lava below, before coming back to the others.
“It’s… ugh… the magic armor…” Grunted Toriel, she had just finished tightly tying off the bandages around her damaged hip with some help from Gyfrot lifting her off the ground. Before that Pinkie had gotten her some water from the nearby cooler to clean out the wound and to drink.
It was the armor Pinkie was wearing that not only protected her from Undyne’s spears, but it also had a pain numbing effect and was keeping Pinkie cool. Toriel really didn’t want Pinkie to remove that armor.
“Oh right… Tori you might need this armor more than I do!” Pinkie tried to pull off the magical shirt only for Gyftrot and Toriel to make some sounds that said they were clearly upset with something. “What, what’s wrong you guys?”
“You may want to look at yourself before you remove the armor entirely Pinkie.” Gyftrot could see Pinkie had a mess of bruises and injuries all around her belly and chest as she held her shirt up.
“Wow… this magic armor is neat stuff; I can’t even feel those painful looking bruises and welts lining my body from where all those spears hit me.” All throughout this exchange Pinkie was sending looks to Undyne who sat there trying not to move too much. The heat was clearly unbearable for the fish girl and she was direly in need of a cooler environment. Pinkie wasn’t ready to forgive her yet, but she was willing to help her if she could swallow her pride to ask for help.
“Pinkie, don’t take that armor off. At least not until you heal from those bruises, I can manage on my own without it.” Toriel might have been in pain, but she was able to speak clearly and concisely long enough to tell Pinkie it was a bad idea. She was still so worried for Pinkie, even while she personally took the worst injury of the travelers.
“You guys want some help, I know someone nearby who’d help.” Undyne was pushing for a bargain instead of outright asking for help, the red haired fish girl wasn’t going to swallow her pride just yet. “One of you is going to have to carry me though.”
“Yes, because your certainly not going to be fired from your job as head of the guard when Asgore finds out that you injured me.” Toriel, as much as any other monster, knew that Asgore still felt something for her. She wished she could say the same about the big lug, but she couldn’t. “Even if it is by accident or on purpose, he’ll be mad.”
“What do you mean? Why would he be mad at me?” Undyne stared at them from her sitting position and her breathing was becoming a bit more ragged as the heat was getting to her again. Kid managed to get her a cup of water, he held it up to her in his mouth and she took it greedily.
“I don’t believe I’ve ever actually introduced myself to you.” Grunting from the pain shooting up her side, Toriel smiled at Undyne with something faintly approaching malice. “I’m Queen Toriel, Asgore’s ex wife.”
“What? Oh for the love of, damn it!” It didn’t take long for it to filter through Undyne’s aching head as to what Toriel was getting at and she was quite shocked. This fluffy goat lady certainly fit Queen Toriel’s description perfectly and now Undyne knew she was boned if the king ever found out that she hurt her.
“Do you want me to carry you Toriel? We can’t exactly stay here much longer as Gyftrot looks to be sweating badly and we need to find someone to check that injury.” Pinkie wasn’t the strongest pony in the world, but she could carry Toriel draped over her back easily enough. She looked up into the air. “Just a reminder to everyone, I’m not a doctor and taking an injury to the hip is quite bad for ponies and sounds even worse for bipedal beings.”
“I know a person who could help us, in fact she lives real close to here and she’s a friend of mine.” Undyne was hunched over and facing away from everyone with a limp arm. Only Kid was there in front of her, looking up at her with noticeable worry. “Yeah, she owns the nearby laboratory that runs on thermal energy. My dork of a friend’s name is Alphys. I ask that you help me get there… ugh; I can’t believe I’m even saying this… I want you to help me get there, please. Also bandage up my leg; I’m still bleeding out over here!”
Before Pinkie could answer, a ringing noise was heard and Pinkie went to check her cell phone in the bags Gyftrot was carrying. It wasn’t the one ringing, sitting up on the ground Toriel reached into her backpack and opened her phone. She tried to keep the pain out of her voice as she answered it with the one eyed Undyne looking on in interest.
While Toriel was talking, she watched as Pinkie and Gyftrot saw to bandaging Undyne’s leg wound and began splinting her broken arm and leg. Sitting up on her own hurt, but she was interested to know who was calling her at a time like this.
“Hello?” Toriel could hear the voice of a friend in response.
“Mistress Toriel, I’ve heard so much about when you passed through Snowdin!” It was the recognizable voice of Mysteriously Informative Frog Thing. “It’s me Mifty; I’m calling to ask you about the barrier!”
“Mifty, when did you get a cell phone?” Toriel hadn’t heard of how things were going in a while and decided to add on to what she just said; she winced slightly as her excitement caused her to shift her hip in a painful manner. “How are things in the Home Ruins? Is everything alright there? How are the flowers? Wait, what was that about asking me about the barrier?”
“Calm down, the flowers are fine thanks to the vegetoids’. We’ve even made contact with Snowdin and even started up some trade with the stuff we have. We’re in the in the middle of a surplus of supplies and are sharing the wealth with our neighbors! I even got a cell phone from the spiders for free; they are really nice hard working guys who are about to set out to meet up with the other half of their colony.” Mifty sounded pleased to be doing a good job as a regent. “Look that’s not why I called you Queen Toriel; I have to ask why ghost monsters can’t get through the barrier.”
“Oh um… well, while ghost monsters are not solid as you or me and can pass through solid objects such as stone and can survive any environment. The barrier is mystically designed to hold monsters of any type from getting through it, even ghostly ones who are more spiritual than physical.” Toriel became upset as she started thinking about her children again, but she held herself together even if her voice wavered a bit. The injury her hip had recently sustained couldn’t hurt nearly as bad as losing her children. “What’s this all about?”
“I think I might have thought of something important about how the barrier holding us all down here is supposed to work, you’ve only ever had two scientist look at it right? I might know how to break it without the power of seven human souls, but it depends entirely on your answer to my next two questions.” Mifty sounded rather curious about something. “In fact the answers could change everything. As it means that what Asgore is doing could actually end up destroying both our world and that of the humans above ground, he could even end up accidentally destroy everything!”
“What is it, what are the questions that could help us figure out a way to break the barrier without having to use human souls?” Toriel was more than interested to hear what Mifty had to say about this and Undyne’s right eye snapped open as she looked at the goat lady on the phone.
“Why does Asgore believe that human souls are the only way to break the barrier and what is it that is exactly powering the barrier in the first place? You were there when your children… this is not easy for you is it mistress Toriel?” Mifty sounded reluctant to continue on. “Are you still there my queen? I’m sorry if I’m upsetting you, but you were there when your children breached the barrier after the human child died from poisoning while giving their soul to Asriel. You might know the most about all of this. I heard it from a lot of those monsters that have heard that story when I visited New Home one time.”
Toriel took in a deep breath and then exhaled as she thought about the two questions, after a bit of thought.
“He believes that human souls are the only way through the barrier because of what my son Asriel managed to accomplish with my human child Chara’s soul. He died after coming back through the barrier while heavily injured though. As to what is powering the barrier… we were never able to figure it out, as scanning it with magic doesn’t work.” Toriel heard a frightened gasp on the other end of the phone and the gasp could even be heard by her friends since it was so loud.
“Whatever you do Toriel, don’t let Asgore gather any more souls or even use them! I hope to be a biology teacher working alongside you one day. I can tell that something really bad is going to happen if he does and that’s even if I’m wrong!” Mifty sounded panicked all of the sudden. “If I’m right, then hitting that barrier with the power of seven human souls could be catastrophic for everyone!”
“Catastrophic, how could gathering seven souls and using them to break the barrier be catastrophic?” Toriel was now worried as it sounded like Mifty had an idea as to how the barrier worked, Undyne looked pensive at hearing Toriel mention breaking the barrier being catastrophic.
“I’ll set out immediately for New Home… wait… something has just come up here at the Home Ruins, just don’t do anything to the barrier until get there! I have to prove my hypothesis and if I’m right, we monsters have always had the key to our own freedom! You and Pinkie have to make sure that king dumbass doesn’t do anything with those stolen souls! Don’t even let him take Pinkie’s or any more either!” The sound of a phone being abruptly turned off could be heard, they had all heard Mifty’s voice as she had gotten rather loud.
“We’ve always had the key to our own freedom?” Toriel looked horribly confused, even as she closed the phone and put it away, all while she clutched at her side in pain. Undyne’s one good eye had a sense of curiosity in it as she looked on at the goat lady.
“Who was it Tori, it sounded like Mifty?” Pinkie asked in curiosity at having heard things from Toriel’s side of the conversation.
“It was Mifty, she says she’s heading for New Home and that we should make sure Asgore doesn’t use those stolen human souls for anything in regards to the barrier. She says that she might even know a way to break the barrier without the use of the human souls that were already taken.” Toriel looked to Undyne who was staring at them silently with a thoughtful look on her face. “We have to move and stop my ex husband from doing something that sounds horrendously stupid. Mifty thinks she knows something about the barrier and I’m quite willing to trust her on it. Asgore may still be a somewhat sweet man, but he’s really quite dumb and isn’t exactly a good leader.”
The three looked to Undyne in surprise when she didn’t bother to speak up in Asgore’s defense; in fact she was very quiet at the moment and didn’t seem to be particularly talkative. Undyne knew Asgore was strong, but he did lack heavily in the brains department and it was always said that the divorced queen was the smarter of the two.
“Right then, I’ll carry Tori and you can carry Undyne, because I certainly don’t like her after she hurt my goat friend Gyftrot.” What followed was Pinkie carefully getting Toriel over her back after getting her blood stained robe back on and carefully walking forward, the same as Gyftrot who carried the battered Undyne after getting her one last round from the cooler that finally ran dry with two more cold cups of water for the thirsty monsters.
-
“Hey, look at it this way Fishy. If you have the energy to complain about your injuries, then you’re going to be just fine once you heal. My friend Rainbow is always alright if she can still complain after a bad crash.” It was slow moving for Pinkie and the others as they were being careful about moving the monsters that were injured, Undyne was griping and muttering under her breath about being in pain after they started moving into the next area.
Pinkie was dragging a bit of Toriel’s body along the ground, but she didn’t seem to be complaining about it. Gyftrot was only slightly bigger and Undyne was looking uncomfortable about things as they moved forward to see that friend of hers that lived around here.
They came across a pair of large guards in black armor standing in front of some stairs; Undyne addressed them from Gyftrot’s back.
“Hey, what are you two standing around here looking useless for!”Groused out an angry Undyne who could see the two armored figures were outside of Alphys’s lab, they suddenly came to attention at the sound of Undyne’s voice.
“C-c-captain Undyne, ma’am, the elevators up to New Home are down. Even if we were to let you pass you can’t actually go that way.” The first black knight answered seeming to be afraid of Undyne even if she was an injured mess at the moment.
“C-c-captain Undyne what happened to your armor, are you alright ma’am!” The second knight was also frightened of an injured Captain Undyne, possibly for the same reasons or because someone around here could actually beat Undyne in a fight.
If Undyne wanted to toss Toriel, Pinkie and Gyftrot to the sharks, she could have had them detained right this moment. Instead something else happened and it was a little surprising given Undyne’s aggressive nature.
“Right, go about your business then guys. I’m a bit indisposed at the moment, but when the elevator is back up I want you to make a report to the king that I may have come across a lead to something important that he should know about and that he should wait until I’m better before he does anything involving the barrier.” Surprisingly enough, Undyne didn’t bring up that she had been beaten down by Pinkie or that Toriel was the long lost Queen. “I’ve got a broken arm and a leg, but I was asking for it during a combat exercise while training a militia force. So don’t worry about me, despite the loss of my armor I’ll be just peachy!”
“Are you sure you’re okay Captain?” These black knights saw her stern gaze and backed up slightly, it was the first one that had spoken. “Who are these people with you?”
“Yes, I’ll be completely fine! These people are so graciously taking me to the lab to get me some medical help and they have medical issues with one of their own.” Was Undyne actually covering for Pinkie and her friends? This felt a bit odd for them, especially considering how axe crazy Undyne was about bringing them in. “Now stop gabbing and we’ll be on our way or do I need to get my crippled butt off this monster to cripple your butt! Don’t think I won’t.”
“No ma’am you may carry about your business, just please don’t give us a refresher course!” The second black armored knight was cowering even worse than the first one. If there was one thing these two guards could agree on, it was that even as injured as Undyne looked to be, she was still tougher than they were.
“You heard the man, let’s move on into the laboratory over there! My damn body needs medical attention; I do eventually want to have all these shards of armor I still have stuck in me removed sometime today!” Undyne certainly commanded respect among the royal guards and it sounded like she was siding with Toriel for some reason.
Gyftrot continued a slow easy gait, with Pinkie following along behind him looking at Undyne as they walked up to the doors of the lab. Undyne seemed to have noticed her staring and stared right back with prideful eyes.
“I’m only doing this because I respect your strength.” Undyne muttered loudly. While she did respect Pinkie’s strength, she also respected something else about Pinkie.
Undyne also respected Pinkie’s ability to wear her feelings on her sleeves and show that she loved the Toriel without thinking of what others thought of her. This was something Undyne herself had trouble doing with her personal love interest, she saw Pinkie kiss Toriel and had been rather interested in that ever since she saw it.
They walked up to a large metallic wall that was part of a building, on it was a large sign that said ‘LAB’ in large simple red letters above the doorway. Moving towards the door, it slid open for the visitors automatically. Upon walking in, Undyne and Gyftrot felt better since the lab had air conditioning.
Everything was quiet and it was dark in the room as they moved forward, they could hear the whirring sounds of machinery running in the dim lighting. Interestingly enough, they saw a large monitor that showed them as they walked forward just past an escalator going downwards. After that was filled trash can, a desk covered in empty noodle bowls with a computer and some toys on it. Next to that was a refrigerator and a large bag of what looked to be pet food, they walked past all this and Undyne had to comment on it.
“Huh, that’s unusual, where could Alphys be? She’s usually trying to cover up her tendencies of being a dork whenever I come around for an inspection. I think it’s cute that she… right… not talking anymore.” Undyne noticed Pinkie was staring at her with a stupid knowing smile on her face.
They stopped just beyond the bag of pet food and a doorway ahead of them in a large empty space of the laboratory slid open to reveal a squat yellow lizard woman in a lab coat. This glasses wearing lizard with a slightly overbite problem, she looked a bit confused and frantic as she walked out of the doorway. The lights came on when an electrical glow formed from the lizard’s hands for a few seconds and she turned to walk towards her desk only to notice that she had four visitors sitting there.
“Hey Alphys, I’ve kind of bit off more than I can chew recently. So get your medical supplies, because we’re going to play doctor.” Undyne gave a sharp toothy grin as she saw the lizard cover her face and start blushing, she always found the yellow nerd to be outrageously adorable.
“Undyne, fancy seeing you here… er I mean… oh my god, I haven’t even been able to… no you can handle this Alphys. But I haven’t showered yet, my labs a mess and I’ve just done something really bad… oh right visitors…” Alphys seemed to be the simpering type of being and quite shy at meeting new people. She was looking to be highly self-conscious as she fiddled with her hands, she also seemed incredibly nervous at seeing an injured Undyne. “Oh right, introductions… er… hi I’m Doctor Alphys, I’m a royal scientist. But I guess you already knew that from having Undyne with you… uh I’m not actually a bad person like all those other monsters that have attacked you really. Oh right, I’ve been watching all of you through the camera network on that console you passed by, I have a set up throughout the Underworld. From since around the time you two stepped out of the Ruins really.”
“Yep, she’s got stalker tendencies so you might want to watch out for her fanny bandit routine.” Undyne smiled broadened as she watched Alphys become a stuttering wreck at her words. “She’s relatively harmless personally, but her inventions… yeah; watch out for those as they have a tendency to explode.”
“Why are you telling them that Undyne?” Alphys had her hands on her head and she looked horribly embarrassed and was blushing, her hips and body wiggled slightly in despair as if she were trying to chase away her embarrassment.
“Because it’s just that easy to tease you, you really have to grow a backbone and show some courage one of these days.” Undyne wanted to go on dates and do stuff together with her. She was in fact in love with this lizard, but damn if Alphys wasn’t such a coward about it. Undyne was waiting for the day Alphys would own up to the fact that they were definitely attracted to each other and ask her out, she wanted to see the good doctors resolve to start a relationship. Otherwise she would start it in an explosive manner personally.
“Right… backbone… I was, I was originally planning for a way to stop the pink creature… but watching them on screen really makes you root for them. You know.” Alphys continued to show increasing signs of nervousness.
“Okay Alphys, what did you do?” Undyne state in a flat no nonsense kind of tone.
“Do… oh well… heh… funny you should mention that because... anyway, I want to help these three… or is it four with the snow in the jar? With my knowledge I can easily guide them through…” Alphys stopped when she saw the one eyed glared coming from red headed fish lady. That beautiful ponytail, the way the hair hung over her eye patch and those sharp pointy fangs of passion and the image of them gnawing at her neck made her eyes flutter.
“Snap out of it Alphys, what did you do!” Undyne screeched trying to get her beloved dork back on track.
“I know a way to Asgore’s castle through the hot lands and… okay so I might have a slight problem… its small really. I mean, it’s not like I’ve done something ridiculously stupid right?” Alphys gained a looked that was comparable to Applejack’s face when she lied and was even sweating a bit. Having Undyne’s furious eye upon her made her squeal slightly. “Okay, you remember that robot I made a long time ago to entertain the monsters of the underworld; you know who I’m talking about right Undyne? Anyway there might be a slight, teeny tiny problem with him right now.”
“Let me guess, you turned him into a killing machine. Here I am too injured to put him in his place and I’m also going to guess that he’s targeting the pink one here. By the way, you can put me down now Rudolph.” At Undyne’s words Gyftrot gently placed her on the floor. “This is my 'close' friend Alphys everybody.”
“Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie and that’s Toriel and he’s Gyftrot… we’re traveling the Underworld to save it or something like that. We haven’t exactly had completely clear goals as to why we’re traveling all this way to reach the barrier in the first place, but we recently got one.” Pinkie shook the nervous Alphys’s hand with a hoof. The pony thought she seemed nice even if she was as shy as Fluttershy sounded.
Suddenly a loud thumping noise started sounding out and Dr. Alphys looked at the floor while blushing.
“Oh no...” Undyne started off while covering her face with her good hand.
“Oh no….” Alphys muttered as she did the same with her hands before blast of dust erupted from the wall and the entire room went dark.
“Oh yesss! Welcome, beauties…” A light shined down on a familiar machine in the darkened room, one that was seen way back in Snowdin that had been operated by Papyrus. Only it now had arms and was on a single wheel, its face was made up of multiple squares that formed the letter M in a red coloration and it held a microphone up to what pass for his mouth above his dials. It was a rectangular kill machine that was now hunting Pinkie in a dramatic fashion. “…to today’s quiz show!”
“Aw, he’s not the kool-aid man… and here I was wondering what the new flavor would be!” Pinkie suddenly gained a grumpy look as she and her two friends found themselves sitting at a stand with a buzzer as disco balls lowered from the ceiling sending colorful lights everywhere. Not to mention some funky music started playing.
“Where did the chairs and this podium come from?” Toriel questioned as she found herself seated next to Pinkie.
“Tori stop thinking so hard about it, it’s a quiz show!” Pinkie was okay with insanity. This actually looked to be like a fun quiz show to her, even if the host was a crazy and murderous robot.
“You didn’t even know what a TV was before you came down here, how can you even know what a Quiz show is?” A slightly freaked out Gyftrot muttered, he was also in a seat at the podium that had the big red buzzer in the middle of it.
“I can tell this is going to be a great show, everyone please give a round of applause for our contestants!” As Mettaton the rectangular menace said this, he received just that by an invisible audience as he played a clap track and clapped personally along with it.
“I’m guessing that you’ve never played before, you two gorgeous ladies and a handsome gentleman. Well no problem, it’s quite simple!” Mettaton was pointing a finger to the ceiling and had a one displayed on his face instead of the letter M. “There’s only one rule, answer correctly or you die!”
“Okay we’re ready for you, bring it on!” This had gotten so ridiculous so fast; Pinkie couldn’t have been stopped from jumping right into it with a smile.
“Right, someone’s ready to get into it. First question and it’s an easy one! What prize do you get for answering my question correctly?” Mettaton slid to the left and started up the game show as he projected the answers in multiple choices for the group in the chairs while Alphys stood by behind Mettaton looking nervous.
A. Money.
B. Mercy.
C. New Car.
D. More questions.
“That’s an easy one!” Pinkie hit the buzzer. “It’s D!”
“Good answer! Sounds, like you get it!” Mettaton started up with another question. “Here’s your prize, what’s the king’s full name?”
A. Lord Fluffybuns.
B. Asgore Dreemurr.
C. The Heffalump.
D. Fuzzy Pushover.
“That’s also an easy one, its B.” Toriel said calmly after slapping the buzzer faster than Pinkie could.
“Aw, but I wanted to make the buzzing noises.” Pinkie started to rapidly hit the buzzer. “Buzzer noises are fun!”
“Surprisingly this question and the next one have been answered in one go so on to the fourth one!” It was the slow rocking motion of Mettaton moving side to side that was slowly putting Gyftrot to sleep. “What is Alphys’s favorite snack?”
A. Hot fish girls.
B. Really hot fish girls.
C. Fish girls named Undyne.
D. Noodles.
Pinkie hit the buzzer and continued to play with it as Gyftrot sighed and answered, they all noticed both Undyne and Alphys weren’t looking at each other with blushes on their faces.
“It’s D.” Gyftrot yawned; this was the least threatening killer robot he has ever seen. Likely the only one he has ever seen too.
“Correct, that’s another one for the team of travelers who just arrived in the hot lands, but how long can they avoid getting burned?” Now Mettaton seemed slightly off as he read the next question on a sheet of paper. “Here’s my next one, what is the airspeed velocity of a swallow not burdened by anything?”
A. Seriously?
B. Come on.
C. This is rigged.
D. 24 MPH.
Pinkie still hit the buzzer despite Toriel and Gyftrot staring blankly at the answers.
“It’s a trick question! You’re not even telling us where this swallow originates from in the first place and how much it exercises in a given day!” After a moment a beep and a ding was heard and Pinkie smiled.
“That is actually the correct response to this question! Amazing isn’t it folks!” Now Mettaton was bouncing up and down on his wheel. “Next question is, if you’re a kleptomaniac, is there something you can take for it?”
A. This is nonsensical.
B. Sure, the answer to this question.
C. What wouldn’t a being like that take?
D. None of the above made sense, so I’m answering this one.
Pinkie continued to play with the buzzer heedless of the dangerously insane robot’s sixth question.
“I believe the answer to be B.” Toriel rolled her eyes as she heard the dinging sound of a correct answer.
“Wonderful, even I’m astounded folks. So many right answers here!” Mettaton’s nonsensical quiz was beginning to make Pinkie and Toriel giggle. “Next question, if you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?”
A. Fail.
B. Succeed.
C. Epic Fail.
D. Succeeded at failing.
Pinkie played with the buzzer and even managed to match the buzzer to the music playing as she pressed it in time to the tune.
“The answer is D of course.” Gyftrot knew a lot about failing to succeed, he failed at successfully getting away from The Jerry after all. Well that was until his friends helped him escape that horrific being.
“Correct, boy do you guys know your stuff, but don’t count on your victory yet!” It seemed Mettaton had more questions up his metal sleeve. He projected a partial image of a monster that looked to be a Froggit. “What monster is this?”
A. Mettaton.
B. Whimsun.
C. Moldsmal.
D. Froggit.
“It’s easy, the answer is A. Mettaton!” Pinkie stated while continuing to strike the buzzer in a playful manner, causing Toriel and Gyftrot to look at her as if she were insane.
“I’m so flattered you remembered!” The image pulled away to show Mettaton wearing a shirt with the face of a Froggit on it, causing both Toriel and Gyftrot to sigh in relief. “Next question, in the dating simulation game called Mew-Mew Kissy Cutie. What is Mew Mew’s favorite food?”
“Oh I know this one!” Alphys was ready to go into a tirade about it when Toriel spoke up with a bright smile on her face.
“Its snail ice cream, but no one else wanted it and I think it was a great message on friendship!” Toriel suddenly received stares from everyone and blushed slightly. Alphys even looked happily watery eyed to see that Toriel knew the answer. “What? I like snails… and any mention of them in any form of media.”
“Correct and just for trying to help them Alphys, this next one is about you. The last question for this show in fact!” Mettaton seemed to inhale as he leaned back on his mechanical wheel. “Who does Dr. Alphys have a crush on?”
A. Asgore.
B. Undyne.
C. Pinkie Pie.
D. Everyone else not listed here.
“Hm… this is a really hard one… I know I’d like everyone else in the whole world. There are plenty of options there.” Pinkie rubbed her hoof against her chin.
“I know right, who doesn’t love a nice slice of pie?” Despite her injury, Toriel leaned over to her left and started to rub Pinkie behind one of her ears.
“It’s certainly a daunting choice, as Asgore is a mostly nice guy.” Gyftrot added in, the suspense was quite horrible.
“It’s B.” all three of them answered at the same time as Pinkie hit the buzzer one last time.
Undyne slapped a hand over her mouth. She was trying to keep herself from laughing her ass off at the adorably embarrassed red faced lizard lady.
“Correct, see even they knew you have a crush on Undyne! The probability is calculated as being one hundred and one percent, with a one percent margin for error!” Mettaton intoned before waving at the air as he slowly started rocketing towards the ceiling. “Thank you for tuning in folks! Join us next time when I do battle with Pinkie, the shovel wielding quadruped menace in, Cooking with Mettaton!”
