Bonus Chapter: That awkward moment...
This chapter isn't entirely necessary to read to get the full experience of the story, but I thought it'd be kind of fun to write.
As for when this chapter takes place, it's a thing that happened during Starlight's Genocide playthrough when she was right about to fight Mettaton Neo.
A few hours had passed since Starlight had attempted the Genocide route. The entire time she was playing she kept saying to herself what Twilight had told her. It’s all just a game. It’s not real. She’s not REALLY killing all of her friends in cold blood with her only motivation being to see what happens. Nope. That wasn’t happening at all.
…
If she was completely honest with herself though, she felt like a scumbag for doing this playthrough.
Twilight was surprisingly still awake to watch Starlight play and let out a slight yawn as she leaned back in her chair. “Yeesh, you really did a number on Undyne back in Waterfall didn’t you?” Twilight asked her.
Starlight stopped playing for a moment to turn around and give Twilight a deadpanned expression. “You’re not helping Twilight. I feel unclean enough as it is. And it took a lot longer than I wanted it to. I thought you said this was supposed to be easier.”
Twilight snickered a little. She’d learned not to take the game as terribly serious (Again, just a game right?) as a beginner would, but she could definitely get where Starlight was coming from. Undertale seems to have this effect on ponies. “I did. And it is. If there wasn’t a challenge in there now and again though, it’d get boring.”
Starlight sighed and returned to her game. “You’re probably right. I just feel kind of terrible for killing all these monsters and at this point I’m so strong there’s pretty much nothing they can do.” Starlight said as her character made its way through the brightly lit Hotland core. After she made it through the core she’d be on her way to Asgore’s castle, where who knows what would await her and no doubt try to kill her.
Twilight watched Starlight make it to the door that would lead to the battle (if anypony could really call it that) against Mettaton Neo, when she felt the insides of her mouth and smacked her lips a bit. In the time she’d taken to watch Starlight play, she hadn’t drank anything and was now feeling thirsty. “Hm. I’ve already seen how this turns out so I’m just going to go get a drink really quick.” Twilight said as she stood up out of her chair and trotted out of the room, leaving just Starlight and the computer.
Starlight moved her character to the glowing yellow save point and saved her game before stopping to recollect on her actions and where she currently was. She was only a few steps away from having to battle Mettaton. This in particular she was not looking forward to doing in the slightest. All of the others she’d killed made her feel incredibly terrible, there’s no doubt at all about that. But Mettaton…
Well, Mettaton just had a special place with her. It gave her the worst feeling she’d had yet in this playthrough knowing that to continue she’d have to slay him to continue. It didn’t sit well with her. When she’d battled him in the Pacifist route she’d done a while back, she’d almost instantly felt something when she laid eyes upon that devilishly handsome robot. The memory of all the poses he’d been doing through the fight made a slight blush come to her cheeks and made her sweat a little.
But she couldn’t turn back in the game when she was this far. Not now. And especially not while Twilight watched her every move. She’d need to give herself some form of relief before she continued. It was all she’d be able to do if she was going to summon the will to go on.
Starlight minimized the game and pulled up the web browser. She went to the search engine and looked up images of Mettaton EX’s sprite. She pulled up the first one she found which demonstrated Mettaton in his signature, open armed pose that he made when his new body first showed up. The sight brought memories of the pacifist run back. The sinking feeling her gut grew and so did the blush on her face.
“Nnn. Oh my darling robot, please forgive me for what I’m about to do to you. I’m so sorry.” She whimpered a little, hugging the computer monitor as tight as she could without breaking it, and giving the image on the screen a couple of kisses for good measure.
She’d thought she’d get this over with before Twilight came back in the room.
She was wrong.
Twilight was now standing in the doorway with soda in her magic, and a slightly disturbed look on her face as she tried to process what exactly it was that she was looking at. Starlight’s eyes shot open and widened a bit when she saw the unicorn standing there and staring at her. The feeling of guilt she’d had for hours had now been replaced with embarrassment at over what her friend just watched her do, and she backed away from the computer screen, awkwardly staring back at Twilight. “…Weren’t you ever taught to knock first?” Starlight asked with a nervous expression.
“…Do you want me to leave you alone with the sprite or…?” Twilight asked with a raised eyebrow.

XD Awkward doesn't begin to cover it. XD
gold, just pure gold.
how about no
Not reading yet only because I have yet to do the genocide run. I've done the one where you kill the first dog, Undyne, Metaton, Asgore, and all the little guys in between; and currently working on the Pacifist route (any tips on how to beat Metaton).
6944158 Tips on beating Mettaton in pacifist...
Beating Mettaton in the pacifist route is pretty difficult. Basically you need to survive long enough to blow off all his limbs with your yellow soul and once that happens, get to 10,000 ratings.
Extra ways to get ratings involve either saying anything with the words "legs" or "toby" in the portion where Mettaton asks you an essay question. You can also get boosted ratings from eating anything sold at Burgerpant's shop during the fight.
Extra beating method: get to 12,000 ratings without blowing up any of Mettaton's limbs and the fight will end immediately. Doesn't affect your pacifist run either way, but it's just more of an alternative method to beating him.
6944201 Thanks.
By the way, is there a reason you need to blow up his limbs, or is it just necessary along with the ratings?
6944783 It's pretty much just to progress. If you manage to get to 12,000 ratings before doing that though, you don't have to blow his limbs up.
Twilight is an asshole in this. I may be taking this too seriously, but I actually kinda hate both her and Rainbow Dash right now.
6952167 Considering that Starlight dragged her through the dirt with the whole thing in the finale and basically created multiple doomsdays, I think it's pretty justified.
"Okay, you wanna mess with time and space and you think you're above the consequences? Well in that case, I'm not telling you about Sans~"
Rainbow has no excuse. She's just kind of a jerk.
6952634 for the lols?
7025635 Haha
that is the funniest bonus chapter Ive read good job

Don't you just automatically win if you eat the steak shaped like his face? Or get the ratings up past the bar in general?
if i saw that my first reaction would probably be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
7177233 Yeah she basically only said that to get Starlight comfortable. Twilight sort of suffered the same emotions of dread that Starlight did when Rainbow told HER to play it.
Mettaton is bae you know.
I just realized that, in canon, Twilight did the same thing that Genocide!Papyrus tried to do i.e. trying to fight the villain with kind words rather than with violence. Luckily for Twilight, Starlight wasn't as heartless as Genocide!Frisk.
7305083 A lot of things regarding the S5 finale have similarities with Undertale (kinda why the Starlight Vs. Sans series as I'm calling it exists) though I just think Undertale executed the same themes better.
Lol, oh, my...wait until she sees Metteton NEO XD...must have been hard for her to destroy him!
