“So… that happened.” Pinkie said from her seat at the podium as she continues to tap the buzzer that continued to go off with each press.
“Pinkie why are you still pushing the buzzer, it’s kind of annoying.” Gyftrot was the only one that thought so at this time, it was soon going to get grating on everyone.
“Because I’m waiting for it to make a different sound, also it’s a big red button. How can I not press the big red button?” Turning to her right, Pinkie smiled at Toriel who sighed and shook her head in exasperation. “Tori can’t actually get up from her chair, you know, because of the shredded hip and everything. I’m just trying to lighten the mood and stay by her side.”
Pinkie felt herself get dragged into Toriel’s lap where she was wrapped in a hug and felt Toriel nuzzle the top of her head.
“I guess we need to get our injuries checked on, we also need to ask about getting to New Home from here since we can’t use the elevator. Although I don’t particularly like the person we’re asking for help.” It was around this time that Toriel remembered who Alphys was, said yellow lizard shied away from Toriel’s glare. “I hope you’re not planning on performing any unscrupulous experiments while we’re here. I only know you in passing, but I know of you from those reports of the things you started doing. It’s why I had you fired; I guess my ex hired you back on then?”
“Well y-yes… that’s what happened lady Toriel… or is it still q-q-queen? It was around the time… Wing Ding…? Somebody… I can’t remember if he died though… I think his disappearance caused me to be hired again.” A blushing and sweating Alphys was trying to look anywhere but at Toriel’s eyes, she was also trying ignored the bandaged wound that was visible through the hole in the goat’s robe. She silently admitted that Toriel was quite a beautiful lady. She and Toriel had barely met one another, but it was entirely true that she’s done some horrific things. She was still quite horrified of what she has done to this very day and stuttered a bit because of it. “A-anyway, I promise that I won’t do anything experimental to either you or Undyne. Mostly because I don’t want to think of what will happen to either of you if I did. I’m not exactly a medical doctor, but I am trained to do things like that.”
Staring at the nerdy lizard, Pinkie couldn’t help but pick up on the fact that she had a lot of anxiety and was trying to hide her head in her lab coat from Undyne. It was cute, but she was definitely hiding something despite the fact that she didn’t seem like she would intentionally hurt anyone. Alphys was paying a lot of attention to the way Pinkie and her goat friend were cuddling and seemed a bit jealous of what they had.
“What are you standing around for Alphys? Get a move on and don’t just suddenly run to the bathroom like you always do when I’m around!” At Undyne’s words Alphys came to her senses and ran off around the corner, she came back a minute later with some kind of hand held device coming from the direction of the monitor. “It took you long enough!”
“S-sorry Undyne, I’ll get right on seeing what your injuries are.” With a twitch of her claws, they started glowing and the device she was holding lit up with power. She ran a light over Undyne and looked at the results the screen was showing her. “You have a broken arm and leg; they are clean breaks and have been set really well. You also have a lot of metal in you and I can guess that this would be rather aggravating for you. I’ll get it out of you, but you’ll have to be… oh right, what am I saying? You are the toughest Undyne. This is going to sting and I’m very sorry for hurting you like this, but those bits of metal have got to come out of you if you are to ever heal fully.”
Seeing the fish girl nod, Alphys put the device down to clap her two hands together. Pulling her hands apart, streaks of electrical energy bounced between her two palms. She held them over Undyne who grunted as the bits of metal from her armor flew out of her body into the circular field of energy that was now being generated between Alphys’s hands.
After she released the magnetic field she had made, the bits of metal Alphys had drawn out of Undyne fell to the floor in a spherical clump with a dull clank sound.
“I’m not going to lie, that actually hurt. Hey guys with the bandages, why don’t you make yourselves useful and pass that medical kit you have over to my friend here!” It was strange that she was speaking so calmly despite the amount of pain she had to be in; she had actually taken the knowledge of all the metal that was in her body pretty well. Gyftrot passed the sparingly used kit over to Alphys who looked through it.
“Hey, an almost fully stocked human made medical kit, wow… this is amazing! It even has some kind of gel that from what I’m reading helps quicken coagulation and some other things I haven’t seen before. Oh this is a veritable treasure trove of new stuff to look into.” A spear slammed into the floor next to Alphys; she cringed and stopped being a geek over a stocked medical kit. “Oh right, s-s-sorry… some of this gel, a few more bandages and you’ll be good as new. “
“Tell that to my left eye.” Undyne didn’t sound happy or angry in her bland tone, but she did certainly sound aggravated though. “Right, go ahead and start feeling me up under my clothes.”
Alphys moved over to Undyne and pulled up her shirt to start rubbing gel over the small spots that the jagged bits of metal had been ripped from.
“I can tell that you’re not exactly a medical expert Alphys.” Toriel was still giving Alphys a stink eye as she ducked down and continued to shyly rub the coagulating gel over Undyne’s wounds. “In fact I don’t recall ever hearing of what happened to those monsters that were experimented on.”
“I… I don’t like to talk about that… though you had a very good reason for firing me.” The remorse in Alphys’s voice caused Pinkie to sit up and take notice even if the pony didn’t leave the comfort of Toriel’s arms. She turned back to Undyne and continued to act tenderly towards the fish girl, knowing that her crush had been revealed. She had been quite thoroughly embarrassed and was now feeling up Undyne for medical reasons; she quickly pulled her hands away when she was done bandaging the spots along Undyne’s torso. “There now, all you need to do now is to rest Undyne. T-there’s something I want to say to you, but it can wait until I’m done seeing to the others.”
“She’s such a freaking coward, I already know she likes me why can’t she just come out and say it?” Undyne muttered unheard by anyone as she leaned back against the wall next to the hole Mettaton made.
Picking up the device, Alphys moved over to the pair at the podium that had appeared out of nowhere and with no mass calling attention to that fact at all. Pinkie hopped out of Toriel’s lap and looked at the device.
“What is it?” A curious Pinkie intoned as she pushed the buzzer while trying to get a good look at the device Alphys was holding as she swept a light over Toriel.
“It’s a hand held full body scanner. You see this thing here takes a scan of a single being and can show you various biological things about them currently. I built it myself and without using any dangerous materials, it’s a personal invention of mine from those human documents that gave me the idea for it.” Alphys looked proud of herself as Pinkie looked at the screen to see an outline of a sitting Toriel, her muscles, her heart, her bones and everything were on display. Alphys opened up a little to Pinkie. “Huh that’s odd… there’s something off about your soul readings. Otherwise you’re hip has some really bad cracks and your missing a bit of flesh. Same as Undyne, you need rest.”
“That thing can scan souls as well? Then I may as well show you what your scanner is picking up.” Toriel inhaled calmly and then held out her hand and focused on it, she forced the field she was making to only affect herself personally. Popping her soul out, it’s shifting orange and red colors danced as if they were flames themselves in front of the two now spooked monsters.
Both Undyne and Alphys had a different reaction to it, Undyne was staring in disbelief followed by a sense of intrigue and Alphys was looking at the soul with something akin to horror.
“How… but… that’s impossible!” Declared Alphys who had her scanner pointed at Toriel’s soul only for it to confirm that it was tied to Toriel herself. “No, no, no, no, this isn’t right; this is nothing like what happened to them. Yet it’s different somehow. How in the world are you doing that, monsters just can’t pull their own souls from their bodies. That is, this is, oh my god!”
Unynde didn’t declare it impossible and continued to stare at Toriel. She might not have been as brainy as Alphys, but she was far quicker on the uptake. It was a fact that Toriel had been holding her own soul in the palm of her hand and that it was clearly possible to have a soul as powerful as a human’s could be without taking away from one.
“I still don’t think much of this god guy everyone keeps going on about.” Equestria didn’t have much religion aside from what ponies wanted to believe in. The common belief was in Alicorns’, as much as Pinkie believed in the power of making friends and friendship itself.
“To be fair, religion has fallen out of practice for monster kind. We just tend to use the word ‘god’ out of habit Pinkie.” Toriel pulled her soul back into her body and leaned back while crossing her arms, she was trying to ignore all the pain her hip was giving her. “We don’t actually have physical examples of a god like you have physical goddesses Pinkie.”
“W-w-well technically, you are the very physical example of a goddess.” Alphys blushed and looked towards Undyne who was starting to form a spear in her good hand. “No! I mean logically speaking Toriel is a goddess. Don’t think that I don’t think you’re gorgeous or sexy Undyne because I… oh dear…”
Alphys curled up on the floor and covered her face as her entire body started turning from yellow to a solid bright red in embarrassment. Undyne started cackling at Alphys’s accidental confession; it was hilarious to watch her friend break down in shyness. It was also kind of sad that Alphys just couldn’t get the words out to her face.
“Face it Tori, you’re a goddess to me and a really pretty one too!” Pinkie moved over to nuzzle Toriel’s face while licking at her cheek. The pony standing on the podium got the goat lady to lick her back affectionately.
“So, how did your soul end up like that?” Summoning a spear above the floor, Undyne made it strike the floor next to Alphys causing her to yelp and leap to her feet while still covering her red face. The spears were leaving quite a few cracks and a small crater, one that had Alphys shivering. “Get a grip Alphys, your just embarrassing yourself now… and it’s actually kind of cute.”
“It’s because I’ve had certain interactions with Pinkie.” A moment of kneading an ear between her fingers, Toriel looked at the happy pony that was back in her lap and humming cheerily. She wasn’t going to tell Pinkie that putting any weight on her hip really hurt, she really didn’t want Pinkie to stop being cuddly.
“I can vouch for that, since goat mom showed hers… I might as well show mine now too.” Gyftrot focused and a brown fluffy heart shaped soul with an icy blue glow popped from his body. Even Pinkie was a bit shocked at the sight; no one in the room looked calm about this revelation that Gyftrot brought to the forefront.
“Gyftrot, just how long have you been able to do this?” Toriel just stared at the soul; she had thought that her soul had grown because of the sliver of Pinkie’s soul. Was she wrong or was something else in the workings here? Pinkie did say she was the element of laughter and laughter is usually termed as being rather 'infectious'.
It was here that Gyftrot got very quiet and looked pensive about answering the question.
“Wait, are you telling me that these effects are repeatable? This is the huge breakthrough I’ve been searching for! No… wait…” Turning her scanner onto Gyftrot’s soul, she studied the scans she was receiving from him. “Is it different every time? What’s the common variable between them? Is this why the human determination won’t work? Oh my experiments in determination have caused nothing but pain and suffering.”
“Hey sexy nerd butt I’ve been staring at for the last few minutes, I think I know the answer to that one!” The lizard jumped as she realized her butt was pointed at Undyne and she turned to face the fish girl who called her sexy and started dithering quite a bit about how to answer that. “You’ve got a scan of my soul right?”
Alphys backtracked to look over the scan of Undyne’s soul and saw something similar to the others, yet it was just short of being able to match the two other monsters she just scanned.
“W-what is it Undyne? Yours is almost close to theirs, then again you were always a bit… different.” Alphys seriously wanted to know the answer to this. It would make those years of research pointless, but she needed to know what was causing this phenomenon in two differing monsters.
“Moo!” The sharp cow noise interrupted everyone’s thought processes and they turned to Pinkie whose hoof was pressing down on the buzzer. The pink pony giggled into her other hoof and then Toriel started laughing as well, soon everyone was laughing at the same time.
“Oh that was neat and super terrific; anyway I think I know the answer too!” Pinkie waved her hoof frantically waiting for Alphys to choose her.
“Don’t tell her anything yet; I want to know more about this human determination thing and what happened to those who were experimented on.” Undyne really liked Alphys, even to the point she could truly love her, but she had a second reason for becoming her friend. She wanted to know what Alphys was hiding. Her eye narrowed as she stared into Alphys’s eyes. “We won’t be able to truly start a relationship until you can come clean about what you’ve done. A relationship is about trust, so I can’t really trust you until I can see for myself what happened to those monsters you experimented on. Now is the time to come clean about it.”
“…. Okay… I will. Just promise me you won’t look at me differently because of this.” Alphys was about to go get something to show them what she had done only to have a smiling Pinkie standing in her way with her hooves held out wide while looking at the device she was holding. “Oh right, I forgot to scan you… hold on second.”
The scanner swept over Pinkie’s form and Alphys stared at it for a bit.
“Huh, well you apparently have a lot of bruises and minor internal injuries, but you seem to be healing well enough. A-as for your soul… it’s… incredible.” Looking over the readings, Alphys couldn’t understand anything about Pinkie’s soul or how it worked. “This is far more powerful than any humans soul would be, it seems to be giving off a strange energy to everything around her. I don’t know what it’s doing, but it’s nothing harmful as it doesn’t seem to be affecting anyone’s health.”
“Alphys…” Undyne threatened flatly by just saying the scientist’s name while juggling some floating spiritual spears in the air with motions of her good hand.
“Oh well… as Toriel and Asgore might know, but not the rest of you. I’ve done some… experiments… into the nature of trying to recreate a human soul in monsters. The experiments however are largely failures and were only tested on dying monsters. I have yet to actually disclose what actually happened because… well I’m afraid of what the families of those dying monsters will do to me if they ever find out about it.” Alphys looked as upset as Toriel usually does when her children were mentioned. “The end results of the experiments weren’t pretty. Those monsters are alive, yes, but their current states are horrific. Even Asgore doesn’t know what I’ve done, but he was the one that gave me the go ahead for the experimentation. I’m wishing I hadn’t done so on his orders, nothing the king ever plans turns out well and this has been sitting on my head for quite a while.”
“I don’t know what you’ve done, but I know for a fact that trying to recreate a naturally existing phenomenon artificially has a high tendency to lead to bad things happening.” Toriel had heard of what Alphys was going to do and fired her for it. Apparently she had more reasons to be angry with her ex than ever before, because he actually had her go through with those crazy sounding experiments.
“This is going to a really dark place isn’t it?” Despite not liking where this was going, Pinkie at least has a popcorn bucket in her hoof to staunch the flow of bad vibes in the air. “Look can we do this later Airy; we’re trying to establish a twist in the plot that wouldn’t have come otherwise without Undyne being here. It’s just getting good too! Wait a minute… popcorn? Yay, a snack full of salt and butter, all just for me!”
“Didn’t you want the air to stop making fun of your weight Pinkie?” Toriel asked gently as Pinkie loaded up on the fattening goodness that was popcorn summoned from realms unknown.
“I don’t care, popcorn is tasty!” Pinkie only pulled her head out of the bucket just to state this.
Nobody bothered to ask where Pinkie even got the popcorn from, as monsters could do a lot of weird things like this. She certainly looked ravenous as she stuffed her head into the bucket and started taking on more mouthfuls of messily mashed and masticated morsels.
“W-w-with good reason lady Toriel. Your friend is also correct as are you, you were right to fire me and trying to cease the experiments from starting.” Alphys now seems to have fallen into a funk of depression. “I have to ask, how would you feel if you suddenly heard that your mother was an amalgam of fifteen differing species of monsters? Not to mention all those minds going on in one body.”
“Are you telling me, that all those injured and dying monsters fused together into one big horrific abomination?” Toriel turned a little green at the thought.
“A-a-actually, multiple abominations and segregated in an unusual manner. Like a lot of the nearly dead royal dog guards fused together into a strange somewhat dog shaped mass.” Alphys looked to the large bag off food sitting next to the refrigerator, that large bag of food wasn’t for show. Alphys wilted a bit and even her tail reacted to her mood by flopping limply against the floor. “At least the monster can now eat what their constituent parts can, meaning that if at least one monster was an omnivore then the whole amalgamation is. I’ve been keeping them alive in the basement…”
“Well at least they are alive and you sound like you tried your best, at least you’re still willing to take responsibility for what you’ve done to them. Like a mad scientist.” Everyone was a bit flabbergasted at Pinkie’s optimistic outlook. “Even if you are having a lot of trouble telling us about them, maybe you can introduce us?”
“Well I could, but I don’t know how coherent they would be. They are like feral monsters… except they don’t try to hurt me and are relatively docile really. Some of them like music and others like jokes or stories.” Alphys looked ill, but she gained a look on her face that said she was going to do this. She had to if she was to ever gain Undyne’s trust in her. Speaking of the fish girl, she had been rather silent for a while now. “They can still seem to be reasoned with somewhat, at least they know that I’m trying to help in any way I can. Hold on a second and I’ll show you personally.”
-
The podium had been moved to sit facing the large monitor; Gyftrot, Undyne and Toriel were comfortably seated. Pinkie was lying on the podium and receiving a belly tickles from Toriel causing the pony to break out into giggles.
“Well it’s time to show you just exactly what I’ve done.” Alphys was acting like there was a reaper with a scythe hanging over her head.
-
The monitor became fuzzy before it showed a distraught Alphys looking over a monstrosity that was clearly not a normal monster, it looked a like a huge dog with five shadows of smaller dogs in its encompassing mass and a large gaping hole for a mouth.
“The chemical I believe to be the source of the human trait of determination is a complete failure in many ways, in others it succeeded with horrible consequences. Subjects seem to retain all memories of each individual; however the competing minds leave the monster in questionably feral state. They are noted to not be immediately violent or hostile. I hope that I can fix this.” The Alphys on the screen poured some food and the mass leaned over to start gobbling it up with the big hole. “Subject retains the ability to breath, eat and sleep. Sleeping is haunted by nightmares of the conjoined minds trying to cope with their situation. This one is the most active of them since all the minds are relatively from similarly minded monsters. Determination, the will to keep living… even in such a melted conjoined state, it is both disheartening as it is horrific. I can’t bring myself to put the subjects down, I’m not a murderer. What am I going to tell Asgore? What am I going to tell the families of the monsters that I’ve done this to? What happened to the first flower I injected? It is apparent that trying to use the determination from human souls… it’s bad, it’s all a bad idea and should have never been attempted in the first place! It’s kept them alive, but it’s also doomed them to this! The cost is too high...”
The screen flickered after it showed Alphys breaking down and destroying some her work, the amalgamation tried to comfort Alphys in her sorrow by rubbing up against her gently. Several other amalgamate monsters slowly moved toward Alphys and it started up a rather strange group hug.
-
The monitor now showed a different time and a different monster that looked familiar to Pinkie, only it had vegetoids for eyes and parts of the lower half of its body was melted. Even Pinkie couldn’t smile about it; the main one in the previous showing had even looked kind of cute.
There was also another monster that reminded her of Argent, Shyren and a Moldbygg. That was the one to actually made Pinkie sad, it reminded her so much of some of the monsters she had met and befriended on the way here.
“It’s always the same, high concentrations of determination taken from the human soul always turns out the same. They melt, they gather and then they fuse into amalgamates. What am I missing? Is my research really all that important? If a monster acquires a high dose of determination from a human soul, is this always the end result?” Alphys looked into the two vegetoid eyes of the monster and it crooned sadly at her sadness. “They know I’m sympathetic and might have some level of empathy; maybe they can even partly understand their situation. I’ll find a way to fix this, I just have to! I’ve only ever had one clue as to fixing this mess, her name is Undyne and… she’s special to me. I can’t experiment on her and I won’t! She has naturally occurring determination and has yet to melt or fuse like all the others, is it possible for monsters to gain determination on their own? I am not risking Undyne’s health over what ifs; these monsters were on their death beds already and knew the risks of something going wrong. I’m not doing this to a healthy monster, especially not one that I… love… I hope Undyne never hears this.”
-
The scene faded out, Alphys had her head lowered and refused to turn around. Undyne sat up straighter and the silence was rather palpable.
“Every monster has given up on trying, but I haven’t! That’s what makes me different, I’m willing to do anything to stop all the sad sacks around here from giving up on freedom and I’m doing just that by showing everyone that I’m strong! Alphys, you will tell those families about this issue or so help me I won’t be able to forgive you like I’m willing to already! If those monsters you did that to can be so forgiving, then I can as well.” Undyne’s declaration caused Alphys to turn to her and stare sadly with tears in her eyes, she snorted and started to rub her eyes and nose on her lab coats sleeves. “I’m sure the families will forgive you Alphys, just tell them the truth. Keeping it from them had Asgore assign me to look out for you and to figure what was going on. So you are going to do it or so help me I will ram a spear up your flatulence hole!”
Pinkie started giggling at the term ‘flatulence hole’ and even Toriel couldn’t help but follow Pinkie in laughter. Undyne couldn’t keep a straight look on her face as she chuckled dryly at her own words.
“I’m being serious though, I will do it.” Nobody was going to think Undyne wasn’t capable of it, it just made Pinkie laugh harder.
“Go ahead, I really deserve it” A sniffling Alphys intoned. “I feel just awful about keeping them trapped down there in the basement, I’m surprised they never tried to rip me apart.”
“Alphys… come here.” The tone of voice Undyne had Alphys feeling very little confidence that things were okay between them.
Undyne brought her good arm around Alphys and hugged her tightly.
“Alphys, you’re the best friend that I’ve ever had. We will always be friends. I’m currently upset with you because I want to go up a level in our relationship and that I’m only now learning of all this. The one thing you’ve done right so far is having Mettaton doing what I’m trying to, and that’s keeping up the morale of every monster in the Underworld.” Undyne was kind of scary in how she held on tightly to Alphys, it was in a rather threatening manner. “I won’t let them hurt you, even if I have to fight while I’m temporarily crippled like this. It’ll definitely be over my dead carcass, do you understand me Alphys? Now show some backbone and work up the courage to ask me out on date you lousy lizard!”
“O-of course Undyne, anything you say.” The properly throttled Alphys would eventually set a world wide blushing record for longest and hardest blush ever.
“Which brings us back to a point, how did your soul get stronger Gyftrot?” Toriel could forgive, but she would never forget. That was just asking for people to repeat their mistakes ad infinitum. She looked at Gyftrot who looked sheepish under her light glare. She addressed the two monsters in love. “As for you two, I believe things will turn out okay for your relationship if you will allow me to preside over the wedding. I still want to eventually be introduced to those poor monsters in the basement though.”
“Uh oh, Tori’s gone into super smart and seriously beautiful queen with a glare mode!” Pinkie received a lighthearted slap upside the head for being silly from Toriel. “That’s pony abuse, you can’t do that! We don’t even have a dark tag on this.”
“Well… I learned that I could pull my soul when I started becoming friends with the both of you. The two of you pulled me out of my depression.” Gyftrot pulled his soul again and it floated there lazily. “Unfortunately my soul isn’t quite as mobile as the ones you two have. All mine can do is form two antlers.”
Two antlers swiftly popped out of the brown soul and then slowly moved around it while giving off a faint light blue glow.
“You’re soul is appears to be more defensive than agile like mine and Pinkie’s are.” Toriel saw Pinkie raise her hoof again eager to be called on as she waved it wildly in front of her face. “Yes, what is it Pinkie.”
“I’m betting he figured it out after he kissed Temmie Trot!” Pinkie saw Gyftrot groan and slam his face into the podium. “I know what causes your souls to become all powered up. All you monsters are always so depressed and sad all the time! I think what everyone here needs is a good dose of friendship, love and some belief in yourselves! Stealing someone else’s ability to be determined is never going to work, because that’s not you being determined on your own merits. Undyne’s almost got it, but she needs friends and loved ones to protect as that will make her stronger! I’m still contractually angry at Undyne until Toriel’s hip is better, so I can’t be her friend at this time because of a current conflict of interest here. I’m sorry Undyne, it’s rather personal and an apology would go a long way to boosting our friendship values.”
“Eh, I can’t complain and that sounds like stuff in Anime. It answers everything perfectly, so I will eventually befriend the crap out of you and I will grow stronger for it!” Undyne seemed actually pleasant now. “We will then try to do normal not destructive things together!”
“Like, accidentally burning your house down later?” Pinkie queried innocently after having heard so many paranormal things tend to happen to it.
“Yes, we’ll burn down my house together with power of friendship and my love for Alphys will make it burn down all the faster! It’ll combust so hard, that the ashes of the ashes will catch fire!” Undyne was being a bit intense, she calmed down only slightly. “Yeah, we’re going to have to wait until you’re goat friends hip is better before we can really try being friends. I’m actually very sorry about that now.”
“Well I guess friendship, love and belief make some kind of sense I guess. It’s not exactly scientific, but I always feel strong when Undyne is around and she’s my best friend that I… er.... That everyone now knows I love of course.” Alphys didn’t know whether to believe friendship, belief and love as being the main catalyst to the phenomenon she had seen in the two monsters. If that were true, then did that mean she and Alphy would become stronger when they eventually become that much closer with each other?
“Hey Alphys, those amalgamates don’t need wheel chairs right?” Not comprehending why Undyne was asking this, Alphys nodded wanting to be helpful and to avoid making Undyne any angrier. “Then why haven’t you brought us any to get around on our own with, I’m tired of being moved around like a freaking sand bag! I swear it’s like I’m the smart one here.”
-
Two wheel chairs later and in the basement of the laboratory using the only working elevator around, Pinkie met each of the amalgamate monsters and befriended them within seconds of opening her mouth to each one. She even danced and hummed some tunes for them.
“This is the happiest I’ve ever seen them.” Alphys was standing between the two wheel chairs. “Well, since they got stuck like this that is.”
“Yes, Pinkie certainly does have an effect on everyone.” Toriel wheeled herself over to Pinkie who was now petting the royal guard dog amalgamation.
“All the monster that make up this big guy are good boys, aren’t they? Yes they are!” Pinkie accepted all the amalgamate monsters readily despite their twisted outward appearances.
“Well you girls can stay here until you’re better. We can watch some movies, play games and can spend time talking with the amalgamate monsters. Oh I can tell we’re going to have so much fun together!” After a bit of enthusiasm of having guests in her lab, Alphys had forgotten something that she only now remembered. “Oh, but wait, Mettaton is still on the loose and crazy.”
“Oh don’t worry about that, I’ll go after him! Tori and Gyftrot will stay here with you, Undyne and these guys!” A white puddle rose up and formed into a hand that patted Pinkie gently on the head.
