Chapter 11: End of Rivalry
Meanwhile, Undyne was lying on her back, sprawled out, exhausted from all the chasing. She got up and smirked at the sniggering Sans and Frisk "alright, you two got me this time… but next time, I will get you for this"
At the distance, Dusty was smiling and whispered, "Undyne… you win this time…"
"I can't believe we let those losers won!" Shisoku scolded, upset that she and Dusty had actually lost, "we could've stop them!"
"But we didn't win because not only I didn't realised that it's wrong to cheat with your stupid wand, the fact is you're being so selfish for wanting to win" Dusty lashed out, he had enough of Shisoku's selfishness and the urge to win the scavenger hunt.
"Whatever, screw you, I'm outta here!" Shisoku scoffed and storms off
Dusty watches his elfin friend walking off in anger when suddenly,
"Dusty…" called a familiar voice that caught the attention of Dusty, he turns around. It was Undyne, much to Dusty's surprise. Undyne held out her hand to him and smiled "that was a good game…"
Dusty smirked and took out his hand and shook her "yeah… from what I see, you're not much of a loser to me… I should've known…"
"Oh and by the way…" Undyne continued as she handed him a small drawstring bag, containing half of her prize money she had with Papyrus, "I think you need the prize more than I do…"
"Really?" Dusty's eyes widen
"Of course, I could be flattered that you let me win this year's scavenger hunt, so now, you can have my prize money…" Undyne nodded
"Thanks, Undyne" Dusty girnned, accepting the prize money he received from Undyne
"Besides, I don't need that" Undyne continued, just as Papyrus joined in
"You sure you don't need the prize money? You can use mine if you like" Papyrus asked
"s'okay," Undyne shrugged before she explained to Dusty, "I got my friend here and this is my prize"
"Aww, friend hug!" Papyrus beamed as he pulled his fish friend into a hug
"So your prize is your friend" Dusty quizzed
"Kind of," Undyne answered, "because that's what friends are for – we help each other out"
"Friendship wins!" Papyrus added
Dusty chuckled, just as Shisoku returned
"Undyne… I have to say, I'm kinda impressed with how that whole "that's what friends are for" thing and, I must say I actually kinda agree with that…" Shisoku commented, "But Dusty and I are so sorry about trying to beat you by playing dirty in the race. It's just that I wanted to win so badly that, with my wand, we kinda got carried away…"
Shisoku walked to Dusty and apologised "And Dusty, I'm really sorry on urging you to beat these guys. It's just… well, I wouldn't blame you if you don't want me to be your teammate in next year's scavenger hunt…"
Dusty smiled softly and patted the elf's back "Shisoku, I forgive you. After all, let's not urging ourselves to win, even if it means cheating again…"
Shisoku nodded and turned to Undyne and Papyrus. "So?" Papyrus spoke up
"How about we should hang out" Shisoku suggested
"Yeah, let's hang out!" Papyrus agreed,
"But where?" Dusty asked
"The cafe, of course" Shisoku grinned in pride
Undyne and Dusty groaned. "Ah, don't tell me about the cafe at the MTT Resort" Dusty grumbled as he face-palmed
"The last time I've been there, it terrible, I am never going to that resort again" Undyne added, criticizing the cafe place at the MTT Resort. Now Undyne and Dusty had finally found one thing they had in common – they both hate the MTT Resort
"No! I mean the one that was opened almost a week ago! Muffet told me about that place" Shisoku clarified
"Ohhh" Undyne and Dusty finally understand
"Well, the new café it is," Undyne shrugged, "see you next week, alright? Be good out there, okay?"
"Alright!" Dusty replied as Papyrus and Undyne departs. He then turned to his elf friend, "let's go home." Shisoku nodded, but noticed the bag Dusty was holding and questioned, "What's that?"
"Long story" Dusty shrugged as he and Shisoku walked home
Alphys was at the lab, watching anime as she heard the door opened
"I'm home, Alphys!" Undyne called
Alphys turned and smiled to her fish girlfriend, "Hey, welcome back! There's cup noodles at the table if you're hungry. I already ate mine"
"Sure!" Undyne grinned as she walked towards the table, where the cup noodles were sitting. But she stopped as she was about to reached the cup, "Actually, I'm not even hungry…"
"So, how was the scavenger hunt?" Alphys asked, she had missed out the scavenger hunt because she has a huge project she's been working on, but now she decided to take a break by watching her favourite anime.
"It was great and guess what? Papyrus and I won!" Undyne beamed
"Oh, that was cool" Alphys replied,
"We won 7000 gold, but I gave half of my prize cash to Dusty. He really is a nice guy, well, he used to be my rival, but in the end, we become friends and we'll meet up at the café next week. You wanna come?"
Alphys thought for a minute before making a decision. "I'll be happy to" Alphys accepted, "and you know what?"
"Hmm?" Undyne questioned
"I might team up with you for next year's scavenger hunt" Alphys finishes as her fish girlfriend plopped herself on a comfy sofa where Alphys was sitting and watch anime with her.
Undyne sighed in relaxation; watching anime with her dinosaur girlfriend is the best scavenger hunt prize she could ever win.
