***Hey guys. I'm gonna make this short: story belongs to me, the characters belong to the leader of the mess we call Undertale, Toby Fox. Without further ado, enjoy chapter two.
Ding-dong.
"I got it," Undyne volunteered. She went to see who it was, and was a bit surprised when she opened the door. "Are you okay?" she asked.
Papyrus-the one who'd come-was bent over, hands pressed against his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Ran...all...the way...here," he panted. After a few moments, he straightened up. "Okay. I'm better now," he said.
"Go on it. Mettaton's in the living room with Alphy," Undyne said. So the two both went inside of the house.
"That's a very beautiful ring, darling. I'm sure you two will be very happy together," Mettaton said. Alphys fiddled with her engagement ring. "I h-hope so," she said. She sounded slightly nervous, but her mouth drew up into a smile. "Hey, dorks. I brought a new dork along," Undyne said, sitting down in her spot.
Papyrus sat next to Mettaton...or rather, at least a solid foot away from him. He laughed, his synthetic tones echoing off the walls. "Oh, don't be so far away. I don't bite," he said. Papyrus scooted closer until he was shoulder-to-shoulder with the robot. "So, I've been gone for a while. What all has changed? I already know of a certain two ladies getting engaged. Congratulations to them," Mettaton said. He smiled, preparing for quite the ramble.
"Let's see here...human-Frisk is now in middle school in the sixth grade. Sans and Toriel have gotten together...finally. I've gotten my driver's license as well as a job at a restaurant. The Great Papyrus has recently been promoted to head chef!" Papyrus declared, completely forgetting his nerves.
Mettaton clapped. "Oh, I knew you had the potential," he said. Papyrus blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Gee...thanks," he said. He let out a shocked squeak when he was suddenly hugged. His cheeks only became a darker orange for the duration of the hug and for a while after. Until the sound of the song "Determination" broke things up.
Papyrus took out his phone, which was where the song came from. "Ah. Human-Frisk wants me to come home. Miss Toriel has made dinner. Farewell!" And with that, he left. "I believe I should go unpack the rest of my bags. Toodles!" Then Mettaton went off to his room.
Alphys and Undyne simply looked at each other.
"They like each other."
"O-obviously."
***I believe that I have some explaining to do.
I imagined that, when Mettaton wasn't off on the road as a star, he would have a room with Undyne and Alphys' house. And as for "Determination" being the ringtone for Frisk's text? I always imagined that each contact would have a ringtone that was that person's respective theme. Ex: Papyrus' ringtone for Undyne would be "Spear of Justice", his ringtone for Toriel would be "Heartache", and you get the point.
I've been rambling for a while, so I think I'll leave you all be. See ya in the next chapter!
