***Yeah, I probably have couple more multi-chapter stories that I can balance out. But whatever, I'll do my very best. Anyways, Alphys, Undyne, and Mettaton belong to Toby Fox, the story plot belongs to me, and let's get going!
Chapter One: A Helping Hand
Even after moving to the surface, Mettaton EX still lived with Alphys. But because he was doing that, he also had to live with Undyne. Needless to say, that made things a bit rocky.
What kept Mettaton and Undyne from killing each other was simple fact: if one of them got hurt, then Alphys would be upset. So they kept away from violence and stuck to verbal assault.
Alphys tried to keep the peace. Her main method was that she had designated her and Undyne's shared room on the opposite end of the hallway from Mettaton's room. Something that Mettaton and Undyne wholeheartedly agreed to. So, they stayed in their corners, Alphys switched back and forth between her girlfriend and best friend, and things went well.
Mostly.
That was thrown off eventually. And by eventually, I mean after about a month.
Mettaton was strapped down in star formation on a table in the basement lab. Alphys always took that precaution, just to ensure that she kept Mettaton in one place. He liked to move around every now and then.
"So, darling," Mettaton said, trying to start a conversation, "do you have any plans tonight? It is a Friday night, after all."
Alphys had hoped she wouldn't have to mention this. But, it seemed that she would have to. "I-I'm, uh, g-going out with U-Undyne on a real d-date for o-once" she explained.
"Darling, you live together. You sleep in the same bed together. And you're just now going out on a date?" Mettaton asked. "Y-yes. W-we're going out t-to dinner and then going t-to a movie premiere. It's a h-human date classic, a-apparently," Alphys explained.
Mettaton raised an eyebrow. "Where are you eating at and what are you watching?" he inquired. "W-we're eating at th-this place that F-F-Frisk recommended, T-Trip's. And th-then we're gonna g-go see the midnight sh-showing of the v-very first M-Mew Mew Kissy C-Cutie movie. I've w-watched the trailer a few t-times, it looks promising," Alphys said, not intending to spout her opinion.
She wiped her sweaty forehead with the back of her mess-covered hand, an act that smeared oil across her forehead. But she didn't quite notice as she grabbed a wrench from her toolbox and kept working. Mettaton snickered, but he wasn't heard. So he went on with his pressing.
"And what are you wearing to this event?" he asked. "J-just that red d-dress I have with th-the white spots," Alphys said. "Alright. Tell you what, I'll help you with your makeup. Hm...a little shimmering lip gloss would look nice, and I have several shades and colors of eye shadow, one of which would match your complexion perfectly!" Mettaton mused aloud. And knowing him, that was probably only the beginning.
Alphys shook her head. "I'm j-just going to w-wear what I wear o-on a daily b-basis. It's our f-first date, and admittedly...I-I've never been on a d-date, beyond that p-pretend one I had w-with Frisk. I d-don't want to o-overdo it," she defended.
If not for his wrists being strapped to the lab table, he would've crossed his arms to match the stern expression on his silver face. "You can never overdo beauty. And besides, I want to be at your side to critique," he insisted.
"P-pardon me?" Alphys asked.
"I'm going to chaperone your date, of course! First dates can be rough, especially for someone like you, darling. I'll be there to move things along if they are to get rocky," Mettaton elaborated.
Alphys shook her head once more. She shut the panel on the area where she was working and screwed it shut. "N-no, no, no. You're n-not coming on my d-date. And besides, wh-what do you know about d-dating?" she asked. "Enough to know that your silly dating simulators are about a thousand percent inaccurate to the real thing," Mettaton retorted.
"Wh-what about Undyne? If e-even I'm telling you n-not to come, th-then you know she'll be f-furious," Alphys reasoned. But, Mettaton had the perfect response right away. "Then she can kiss my shiny, metal butt!" he insisted. He sat up after his restraints were released and left.
As Alphys went upstairs to shower, one thing was certain.
And that was that she wasn't getting out of this.
***Being really honest, when this idea came wasn't the first time that I've thought of what it would be like if Mettaton decided to come along on Alphys and Undyne's dates. Anyways, be sure to leave a review on the way out, and I'll see you all in the next one! Bye!
