Chapter 10: The Letter to Alphys

"Hey, Papyrus! Incase you didn't know, uhhh… My house burnt down. Mind if I stay at your house until I get a new one?" I said.

"… WOWIE! YOU WANT TO LIVE NEXT TO ME, UNDYNE?" said Papyrus.

"Yeah."

"WOWIE! YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER IF YOU WANT!"

(SANS, SHE WANTS TO LIVE IN OUR HOUSE! IS THAT OKAY?) he whispered.

"Sure, i think we have a pull out couch that you can sleep on." said Sans.

"IM SO EXCITED! COME IN!"

"Ok."

I walk into the house. It was very clean, actually.

"ALLOW ME TO GIVE YOU A TOUR, UNDYNE."

I follow Papyrus. He first walks to the living room.

"THIS IS OUR LIVING ROOM. THAT COUCH OVER THERE IS WHERE YOU WILL SLEEP!"

He pointed to the couch where I was going to sleep. Then, he walks over to his room. We walk in, and it was organized like the living room was.

"THIS IS MY ROOM! OVER THERE, THAT IS MY CAR BED. WHEN WE GET TO THE SURFACE, I HOPE TO DRIVE A CAR, BUT FOR NOW, I JUST CRUISE WHILE I SNOOZE. NOW ON TO SANS ROOM!

I walked into Sans room with Papyrus. It was so messy… unlike Papyrus's room.

"Welp… this is my room. Nothing interesting here." said sans.

Uhh… Sans room was like a pit of junk! Fuhuhuhu.

"WOWIE! THE TOUR IS ALREADY OVER! WHY DON'T YOU MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME!"

I stayed for a long while, and I never turned out to get a house, but it was a good life at Papyrus's house.

Several Days Later…

"Morning, Papyrus! I need ask the human something. Could I… uhh… use your phone?"

"SURE! ANYTHING FOR YOU, UNDYNE!"

I then called the human and asked them something. It took more than two rings for them to answer.

"Hello," said the human.

"Hey…! Uh, this is Undyne… (Shut up, Papyrus! This was YOUR idea!) HUMAN! You have to deliver something for me! Uh, please? I'm at Snowdin in front of Papyrus's. See ya, punk!" I said. Click…

The human then met me at Snowdin right in front of Papyrus's house.

"IT SEEMS UNDYNE HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU. SHE'S THE PERSON THAT'S NOT ME." he said.

The human came toward me.

"Um, so, I have a favor to ask you. Uhhh, I… I need you to deliver this letter. To Dr. Alphys. Huh!? Why don't I do it myself… ? … um. W-well… I-it's kind of personal, but we're friends… so… I'll t-tell you… Hotland SUUUUCKS! I don't wanna have to go over there! So here you go."

She took the letter.

"Oh, and if you read it… I'll KILL you. Thanks so much! You're the best!"

The human walks off. I wait for a while, but then I decide I want to give the letter to Undyne, myself. I search everywhere for the human until finally I find them in the garbage area. It was kind of strange to find them there.

"Hey! There you are! I, uh, realized, if you deliver that thing… It might be a bad idea. So I'm gonna do it! Give it to me! Huh!? You don't have it!? Ngggaaahhh! Have you at least seen her!? I said.

"Yeah," said the human.

"Yes? So she's somewhere around here… Thanks. I'll keep looking."

I left the room and looked around, but then I heard Alphys talking loudly and followed the noise.

"WHAT did you just say?" I said.

"U… Undyne! I… was… just…" said Alphys.

"Hey, woah, wait a second. Your outfit's really cute! What's the occasion? … Wait a second. Are you two… On a date?"

"UHHH, YES! I mean, UHHH NO! But, I mean, we were, but, I mean, actually we were only romantically roleplaying as you!"

"WHAT?"

"I MEAN! I mean… Undyne… I… I've been lying to you!"

"WHAT? ABOUT WHAT?"

I was really confused now.

"About… well… Everything!

Alphys walked closer to me.

"I told you that seaweed was like… scientifically important… Really, I just… I just use it to make ice cream! And those history books I keep reading… Those are just dorky comic books! And the history movies… those… Those are just, uh, anime. And that time I told you I was busy with work on the phone… I… Was just eating frozen yogurt in my pajamas! That time I…" she said.

"Alphys." I said.

"I… I just wanted to impress you! I just wanted you to think I was smart and cool. That I wasn't some… nerdy loser."

"Alphys."

"Undyne, I… I really think you're neat, OK…"

"Alphys."

"Shhhh. Shhhhhhhh."

I wrapped my arms around her and got on my knees. Then, I picked her up, and threw her through a basketball basket, and into a trash can.

"Alphys! I… think you're neat, too, I guess. But, you've gotta realize… Most of what you said really doesn't matter to me. I don't care if you're watching kid cartoons or reading history books. To me, ALL of that stuff is just NERDY CRAP! What I like about you is that you're PASSIONATE! You're ANALYTICAL! It doesn't matter what it is! YOU CARE ABOUT IT! 100-PERCENT! AT MAXIMUM POWER! … so, you don't have to lie to me. I don't want you to have to lie to anyone anymore. Alphys… I want to help you become happy with who you are! And I know just the training you need to do that!

"Undyne… You… Y-you're gonna train me…?"

Lucky me, I brought Papyrus with me!

"Pffft, what? ME?"

Papyrus slowly rises from the garbage.

"Nah, I'm gonna get Papyrus to do it." I said.

Papyrus jumps out of the garbage.

"GET THOSE BONES SHAKIN! IT'S TIME TO JOG 100 LAPS, HOOTING ABOUT HOW GREAT WE ARE!"

"Ready? I'm about to start the timer!"

"U-Undyne… I'll do my best… !"

Alphys and Papyrus then walk away.

"OH MY GOD! She was kidding right!? Those cartoons… those comics… Those are still REAL, right!? ANIME'S REAL, RIGHT?!"

"Anime is real," said the human.

"HA HA HA! I KNEW IT! GIGANTIC SWORDS! MAGICAL PRINCESSES! HERE I COME! … Uhh, thanks for taking care of Alphys. I didn't get to say what I wanted to, but… Things seem like they're going to get better for her. Well, I gotta go catch up with them! Later!"

I walk off to meet Alphys and Papyrus to see how they were doing.

"99 MORE TO GO!" said Papyrus.

Alphys seemed tired. After a long while, I went back to my house… or I should say Papyrus's house. I went to Waterfall since I hadn't gone there in a while. I went in the water, and it felt SO good! But then… my phone rang. I answered, and it was Papyrus.

"HEY, ALPHYS! I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD MEET ME AT THE BARRIER. NOT MUCH OF A REASON! JUST TO MEET UP WITH EVERYONE! SOMEONE HELPED ME TO GET A HOLD OF EVERYONE!"

"Sure! But… why at The Barrier?"

"NO REASON! THAT IS JUST WHERE THE PERSON WHO HELPED ME PREFERRED."

"Ok, sure!"

"WOWIE! THANKS, UNDYNE!" Click…

I got suited up for the "hang out," and then I headed over there.
