Suddenly, before Alex and their friends stepped out Mettaton, or something that used to be him. The robot before them had a new battle-body-like suit that looked menacing with those large spikes on his shoulders, which oddly resembled high-heeled legs, much like the ones used by the same robot to walk.
Behind this robot's arms were glowing, pulsating wings. The right arm of Mettaton's was replaced with an arm cannon rather than a hand and their hair was standing firmly up, revealing their right eye, which was still partially hidden by the shadows. The right eye did not look like his left.
All of the previous color that adorned the robot's fabulous body has now since faded to a dull grey or dark black. The same can be said of their Soul heart on their chestplate, which has also turned dark grey.
Within this body could be heard a faint shouting, presumably from Happstablook, as it appeared that he no longer could control the robot shell that was their body. Sounds that are often associated with errors and glitches were heard occasionally from this robot.
Then, a menacing but garbled voice began to emit from the body that was neither the ghost within the shell, nor the normal voice of Mettaton.
It was one that sounded distant, yet close. It was unrecognizable, yet easily understood. If darkness and absence could be used to describe speech, it would be used here.
"ALEX…"
"Met-Mettaton? Is that you? Are you ok?"
"METTATON…don't worry-y about him… Worry about me…"
"Is that… Gaster?" Undyne cut in, confused at this display.
"Ahh… so my secret-cret is out then-en?"
"…where's Happstablook…?" Although shy, Napstablook seemed to begin to get upset. "…where's my cousin?!"
"NAPSTABLOOK, your cousin is unharmed-harmed."
"LET HIM GO GASTER! WHY ARE YOU HURTING HIM?! NO ONE DID ANYTHING WRONG!"
"PAPYRUS… You shouldn't have gotten-ten involved! And this has nothing-ing to do with right or wrong."
"Then what the hell are you doing to our friends?! You're making no damn sense!"
"LANGUAGE, UNDYNE. NOT IN FRONT OF THE HUMAN!"
"Enough of this, I am here-ere to speak. ALEX, your shenanigans have-ave gone on long enough."
"Why should Alex listen to a jerk like you?!"
"UNDYNE, I have no quarrel with you-ou, but if you do anything-ing stupid, I won't have a problem-lem killing you!"
"You can try you little shit, but there's no chance of that!"
"LANGUAGE UNDYNE!"
"THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT PAPYRUS! We have bigger problems than me using grownup words!"
"ENOUGH! LISTEN TO ME NOW! BEFORE I LOSE MY PATIENCE!" Everyone stopped talking as Gaster/Mettaton continued.
"FRISK is with me, and I-I doubt they'd appreciate watching their friends turn to dust out of their own ignorance!" Alex cringed at hearing Frisk's name be thrown out there like that.
"ALEX, if you stop this-is and give up your soul, I will return Frisk. It's as easy-y as that."
"My… my soul for Frisks?" The robot before them smirked hearing their curious response.
"No, you can't do that Alex. It's a trick!"
"YEAH ALEX! LISTEN TO UNDYNE!"
"Yes. I need-eed seven souls in order to split the timeline correctly. Don't you want to save FRISK-ISK? Here's your-our chance!"
"How do we all know you're not lying here? This could all be a trick!"
"You want-ant proof?! Ok, listen care-arefully then, because I'm only doing this once!"
Suddenly, Mettaton's eyes flickered for a moment before suddenly turning a bluish color. It began to speak once more, but the voice was much lighter and more familiar. They all recognized its owner.
"A-Alex? Undyne? Papyrus? Napstablook?"
Tears began to form in Alex's eyes. It was Frisk! They were still ok! Everyone else was shocked upon hearing Frisk's voice, as if they were hearing it for their first time. "F-Frisk! Are you alright?"
"It's so dark here, Alex… Alex, you must listen to me!"
"FRISK! What is it! Please tell me you're ok!"
"I don't have much time. Don't take Gaster's deal. Continue with the plan you formed-ormed-ormed!" Everyone noticed the sudden stutters with Frisk's voice. It appears that Gaster did not like what Frisk said.
"Frisk, It'll be ok. We'll save you!"
"Yeah punk, hang in there!"
"WE'LL GET YOU OUTTA THERE FIRSK!"
"I know-ow. Thank-anks you guys-uys. Stay-ay determined-ined, Alex-ex-ex-ex-ex!" Just as quickly as the blue arrived in his eyes, the eyes quickly returned to a pale grey color.
"You know they're ok, and quite as resilient as ever…" Gaster looked displeased by the outburst of Frisk. "So, do we have a deal?!"
Alex looked to their friends, who felt the same way as Alex did. Alex nodded and returned their gaze to Gaster/Mettaton. "NO!"
"No? Let me rephrase my offer. You WILL give me-e your soul. You can just choose to give-ive it willingly for Frisk, or I will take it by force!"
"Listen you tin can, we're not just gonna give you our friend's soul. And we're sure as hell not going to let you take it!"
"YEAH, EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR OWN SOULS. NO STEALING! THAT'S NOT VERY NICE!"
"Papyrus. Undyne. Thanks for the support."
"No problem, Alex."
"ANYTHING FOR A FRIEND! NYEH HEH HEH!"
"*sigh* It appears we will have to do this the hard-ard way! Just remember that I did try to show you-ou mercy This could have been pain-painless!"
Mettaton's body began to shift violently, with many loud sounds being emitted from within. His arm cannon began to glow as it came online. The pale grey and black lights began to glow brighter.
"BEHOLD! THE POWER OF METTATON NEO!"
Suddenly the world around the five of them blinked and turned black and white. It was time for a battle!
Just like the previous two duels, your silver soul begins to shine and appear in front of you, but something is wrong. This time, the 'battle box' doesn't appear and your soul only hovers a few inches from your chest. Your eyes widen from this, just as all of your friends around you. Mettaton Neo only smirks at you confused response.
"I hold power over reality! It's time-ime I show you what I really can do-o!"
[Cue "Power of 'NEO'" or "Death By Glamour". Whichever you'd prefer!]
*Mettaton Neo has run out of pity and mercy. It's SHOWTIME!

Mettaton's arm cannon beings to glow a bright pure white. You tried to force your soul to move in anticipation of the attack, but it remained directly in front of you. Mettaton's arm cannon began to fire large bursts of pure energy.
You jumped sideways, out of the way of the beam of energy and rolled to your left. Upon finishing the roll, you began running to the left as the beam gave chase. Running and running as fast as you could, you turn back and see the beam is about to get you.
Undyne jumps in, grabs hold of your arm and pulls you backwards and to the right as the beam narrowly missed you. She keeps a firm hold as she dashes off, nearly dislocating your arm. After running for a few more moments, the beam stops to recharge.
"Alright. Papyrus! Napstablook! Go get Alphys! She's the only one who can shut down Mettaton!" Papyrus and Napstablook nod as they dash by Mettaton towards Hotland.
Undyne then turns back towards you. "Alright Alex, let's stop this piece of junk. If we can hold out long enough, Alphys will be able to shut him down without casualties!" You nod in understanding. Maybe you could end it sooner by PURIFYing Mettaton and freeing him.

*Your soul began to pulsate and glow. The beam of light emitted from your soul aims and hits Mettaton's soul on his body.
*…
*...But nothing happened…
"Hahaha. I took-ook control of Mettaton, not Happstablook. Your 'PURIFY' won't work-ork this time! I can adapt-dapt! Can you?!"
Suddenly, Mettaton's left arm morphed into a cannon as well. Both powered up and prepared to fire simultaneously. You feel a strong magic wash over you as your soul turns pure green.
The beams fire, but were blocked by a spontaneously forming green shield in front of your soul. While like this, you feel your feet are nearly glued to the ground, unable to move.
Mettaton Neo/Gaster was not happy by this display. They moved one arm away from Alex and their shield and aimed it at Undyne, who summoned a powerful spear to her hands to use to block the energy.
"It'll take more than that crap to take me down!"
[FIGHT] *[ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]
CHECK *PLEAD COMFORT PURIFY
*You plead with Gaster to stop this nonsense. You tell him this could still be solved peacefully.
*Gaster/Mettaton Neo laughs at this. He doesn't believe you.
Mettaton's left arm cannon returns to the form of a hand. He spreads his arms out a far they they reached horizontally as their eyes glowed brighter. Then, a small, white array of box-like robots came down from nowhere. You look up with your mouth open in awe.
These robots stop a dozen feet above your head and begin throwing these heart-looking projectiles at you that seem to be aimed at you from all directions. Undyne, swings her spear across your chest harmlessly, causing your soul to return to its normal silver and freeing your legs.
As soon as your legs return to their normal selves, you take off and run as the projectiles follow you as they rain down. They pursue you as if locked on, but nonetheless you continue running. You dodge and roll backwards as they seem to catch up to you, causing many to miss and hit the ground, disappearing.
As soon as the first heart missed and hit the ground, Mettaton's smug smile began to fade, rapidly being replaced with one of malice.
You reach to your side and directly equip The Clavicle to both of your hands, gripping the handle tightly. You race towards Undyne to join her by her side. Along the way, a larger heart had formed and was about to hit you dead on as you take your sword and slice it cleanly in half.
Both halves landed behind you and faded away as you continued towards Undyne. You go back-to-back with her as you hold your sword and she holds her spear. You both begin slicing the hearts that came towards you both until they all stopped and the square robots faded.

*You tell Happstablook that everything will be ok. You'll make sure nothing happens to them.
*You hear a sigh from deep within Mettaton. Other than that, nothing happens.
"You see this form? This was originally created-ed to stop genocidal maniacs. But thanks to my-my knowledge of timelines, I learned the pros and cons of this-is form. You cannot win!"
"Shut up, you robotic pile of shit! How dare you hurt everyone I care about. Frisk, Papyrus, Alex. It ends now!"
"Tsk, tsk. Undyne, Undyne, Undyne. Don't you want what's best for monsters. If you give me Alex's soul, I could destroy the barrier and set you free!"
Alex looks at Undyne in worry, but Undyne shakes her head. "As if I'm going to listen to a kidnapping, possessing, murderous monster such as yourself! You must be delusional! I thought you were a scientist! I thought you were smarter than that!"
Mettaton Neo did not look appreciative of her response, and summoned a guitar made of pure energy. As their left hand began to strum it, waves of energy, looking how one would imagine a sound wave appearing, began to form. They were a combination of orange, blue, and white.
You tried to roll through the orange, hold still during the blue, and dodge the white, but this was tricky. Using your sword, you tried slicing though the white waves to avoid damage, but this simply creates a crease in the wave and hit you anyways, depleting your health greatly.
*HP 12/20
"In this current-ent timeline, this form is unbeatable. You cannot hope to defeat me!"
"Alright, pal. I've heard enough of this. OH 'timeline' THIS AND 'timeline' THAT. I'M SO COOL BECAUSE I TALK ABOUT TIMES AND LINES! FWAHAHAHAHA, what an idiot!"
Needless to say, Gaster did not like this taunting.

*You ate the Cinnamon Bunny. HP maxed out.

"It's over-er Alex! You cannot keep this up-up" Suddenly a shift in the voice occurs and a quick outburst is heard. Presumably by Happstablook. "IT'S SHOWTIME DARLINGS! KNOCK 'EM DEAD!" As a result of Happsatblook's outburst, you have an epiphany.
*A new option has appeared under 'ACT'.
Mettaton Neo regains his composure and begins to fire beams from the right arm as the left arm summons more square robots to throw hearts at the pair.
Undyne focuses and aims magic, turning half of your soul green while leaving the bottom half silver. A shield made from green magic forms on your left hand as you hold the bone blade in your right. You are still free to move, however.
Feeling this rush of energy and magic, you duck and slide to your right before rolling sideways, avoiding the first sweep of the laser and dodging three hearts. Undyne throws spears into the air, puncturing many of the hearts and destroying them midair, preventing about sixty percent of them from reaching you.
You propel both legs forward, jumping to your feet and dashing away to the left which causes an additional four hearts to hit the ground.
The laser from Mettaton's arm comes by for another sweep as you bring your left arm in front of you, blocking the beam with the shield. A wave of hearts approach from your right, which you quickly slash in half with your sword in your free hand. You can almost hear peppy music.
The hearts cease and the laser powers down for another recharge. The amount of energy used on your shield causes it to crack and disintegrate, however, this over exertion of energy causes Mettaton's ATK to drop to half for the next turn. This doesn't make Mettaton Neo happy.
[FIGHT] *[ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]
CHECK PLEAD COMFORT PURIFY *DANCE
*A feeling of happiness and energy comes over you. You can't help but dance to a beat!
*Your SPEED has increased this turn!
You begin tapping your foot and moving your hips to a beat in your head, which has seemed to come to life and filled the black and white arena. Both Undyne and Mettaton look at you in disbelief, but giggling can be heard within Mettaton Neo. You couldn't help but smile as you move with the music.
Snapping out of it, Mettaton Neo suddenly steps closer to you, preparing to physically attack you rather than using ranged magic or summoning robots. His right foot stomped down where you stood until you slid to the left. As the left leg was swung around to hit you, you bent backwards as if you were playing limbo, completely dodging this swing.
Letting the music carry you and fill you with energy, you tried your best to moon-walk backwards, avoiding the second swing of Mettaton's left leg. You ran to the right and slid, holding both arms out to your sides as you spun on your right heel and struck a sick pose.
Undyne could only stare on at this display in disbelief. Mettaton Neo, on the other hand, was getting madder and madder at this display by the second and proceeded to continue attacking. The anger within Gaster/Mettaton Neo caused their right arm with the cannon to burst into bright white flames.
Swinging this arm, Mettaton Neo swung low to prevent another limbo-dodge while also swinging from behind to hopefully catch you off guard. A second before it hits, you jump and dodge over it with a flip, landing perfectly a few feet back from where you started.
Then, the arm swung vertically in a circle from bottom to top at you again, but you did a sideways flip to your right, landing about three feet from Undyne, still amazed at this display. You make eye contact with Undyne while dashing towards the other side of her as Mettaton Neo backs up and prepares to unleash the arm cannon again.
Undyne was captivated by this display and didn't know whether to be amazed, embarrassed, or a combination of both. You wink at Undyne as you choose what to do next. Although, that is a lie since you already knew what you were going to do next.
[FIGHT] *[ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]
CHECK PLEAD COMFORT PURIFY *DANCE
*You feel the music integrating with your soul. You cannot help but, once again, dance along to the beat!
*Your SPEED increased this turn.
*Mettaton is unamused.
You run to Undyne's side as the arm cannon activates. You wink at her as you take both of her arms. "Follow my lead!" you tell her. She begins to grow a blush on her face, which makes her look kinda cute as opposed to how she looks when mad. She slowly nodded in understanding.
The laser fires at where you two previously stood as you lead Undyne in a dance. You two dashed momentarily to the right of the blast and were spread apart an arms length, still holding onto each other's hands. You pull her back towards you as your soul begins to glow brightly, causing a reaction in Undyne's upside-down white monster soul.
Suddenly the music pulsating in your PURITY soul resonated and 'infected' Undyne's as she now began to dance in sync with you. Now the fun begins.
You let go of one hand as you spin her around to your right, letting the momentum propel you along, dodging another blast from the cannon. As the beam moves to Undyne's position, you pull her closer, spinning her and causing her to return in your arms facing the same direction as you. You both continue dancing in place for a moment before continuing on the defensive.
In anger, Mettaton Neo's left arm becomes a cannon again. These two independent cannons began to simultaneously fire upon the pair of dancers. As you continued to spin and swirl with Undyne, you see the blush on her face begin to fade as she got more and more into the dancing, completely ignoring everything but the music. Allowing you to lead the way through the attack.
Continuing the dance, you move your feet in and out from their current position, spinning and sliding side to side. The constant movement, which Mettaton Neo could not perfectly follow, kept the pair out of the beams as the dance went on.
After doing another spin, they let each other go as they struck another epic pose side-by-side. This happened just as the beams combined between the two, once again missing them. The beams stopped to recharge once more as the pair caught their breath, breathing heavily.
Undyne's smile grew to a grin from the performace as she caught her breath. It was now your turn to make another choice, but it seemed pretty obvious what your choice was going to be!
[FIGHT] *[ACT] [ITEM] [MERCY]
CHECK PLEAD COMFORT PURIFY *DANCE
*The music flows through you like the blood in your veins. You cannot stop it even if you wanted.
*Your SPEED increased this turn!
*Mettaton was tired of this. His anger caused his ATK to increase this turn.
"Enough of your tom-tomfoolery! This 'dancing' is unamusing! Your time is at hand!"
"Too bad Gaster, but I couldn't even stop if I wanted! Why don't you just stop?" You replied as your hips and feet continued to move to the groove.
Suddenly, another blast lands to your sides as you dash forwards instead before looping around back toward Undyne, who already had her right arm outstretched in preparation for the next dance routine.
Your feet begin to move involuntarily as you step in time to the tune with Undyne. For a moment, Mettaton Neo stops their attack before quickly realizing the connection between the music and your dance-moves.
He once again opened fire as many of the beams once again missed you. Another beam lands in front of you two as you spin clockwise to the left away from the blast. Mettaton, however, anticipated this and blasted you directly. Before the blast, you let go of Undyne and spun her away as you separate, getting her out of the way of the beam.
You take the hit directly as Undyne was spared by your quick thinking. The entirety of the beam hits you directly as you feel pain wash over you. That's definitely gonna leave some nasty bruises. As she stops spinning, her smile fades when she notices what you did by spinning her away. Her anger quickly returned to cover her face.
*HP 8/20
As if on cue, the music slowed for a moment as Mettaton backed up and allowed their cannons to recharge. Again, because of overexertion of power and energy, his ATK will be lower to half next turn.

CHECK PLEAD COMFORT PURITY *DANCE
*Nothing could stop the beat. Both the music's and your heart's. Time to Groove!
*Your SPEED increased this turn!
*As much as Undyne didn't want to, she joined in too!
"ENOUGH OF THESE GAM-AMES! This is your last stand!"
"Come and get us then, Gaster!" You issued him a challenge. Seeing the Pure Kindness within you, Undyne used nearly the maximum of her magic to re-create the shield on your left arm and one on hers as well. You approach Undyne and join hands. "You ready Undyne, for our finale?" She nods confidently, not breaking eye contact.
You two began the next number as Mettaton Neo dashed forwards towards the pair, preparing to strike. Lifting into the air slightly with his wings, Mettaton launched at you, spinning with both legs outstretched.
He zoomed over your heads as you limboed underneath him, in time with the music, while holding hands. You returned to each other as they sidestepped and turned ninety degrees to be both facing Mettaton Neo. Neo was not happy at the dodge and proceeded to a propel themselves forwards toward the pair.
You dodged again and again as he swung arms and legs at the pair. Sidestepping right and left. Jumping up and bending down. You swung and spun out just out of reach, dodging every attempt to damage you. As if his anger could create power, the arm cannons once again lurched to life.
They both fired upon you as you continued to dance, but angled Undyne and your own left arms to position the shields just right. The shields blocked the incoming energy as you continued to take turns stepping towards one another as they went forwards and backwards.
Mettaton Neo then summoned down the square robots from earlier as they once again threw hearts at you that actively sought you out. The on-slot of hearts were, so far, blocked by the shields as the pair continued to dance around the battlefield to the music. As the hearts gave chase, so did Mettaton and his arms of shiny death.
You two bent, rolled and jumped over the hearts, lasers and Mettaton, himself, continuing to avoid harm until a perfectly timed kick hit you in the chest. The blow separates you from Undyne as you slide across the floors, now riddled with holes and trenches.
Your entire breath is gone as you cough and struggle for breath. Mettaton Neo walks slowly towards you as you struggle to your feet. Your HP has certainly dropped.
*HP 5/20
You struggle to your feet and barely regain your footing as you make eye contact with Mettaton Neo. A smirk painted their face as they approached. You notice the glowing right arm cannon aimed at you as it fired, hitting you in the left leg, returning you to the ground.
*HP 1/20
"ALEX! NO! Hold on!" You hear Undyne shouting more towards you, likely along the lines of 'hang on' and 'I'm coming', but you are unable to hear it over the ringing in your ears as you lay on your stomach in the dirt.
You try to stand back up, but are unable to do so because of a shooting pain coursing through your body. The epicenter of this being the spot on your upper leg, the spot in which the beam impacted. You put both hands on the ground and look down towards your leg as your fears were realized.
Your left leg was now twisted in an unnatural angle, blood seeping out of a burnt wound where the beam impacted. Your leg was definitely broken, no question about it. As you look forward, you realize your face is now inches from Mettaton Neo's legs.
Suddenly, a hand grabs you by your sweater and lifts you into the air. You are now about a foot off the ground looking directly into the grey eyes of Mettaton Neo… No. You are now looking directly into the eyes of W.D. Gaster. You audibly hear the music fade out, leaving the howling wind above you producing the only sound.
"It's over child-ild. I'll admit, I'm kinda disappointed ending this here. But, I do need that soul-oul of yours. It'll make this whole-oul thing a whole lot easier!" Undyne had noticeably gotten a lot quieter, but you were unable to turn around to look to see if she was alright.
"I'm sorry it has to be this way, Alex. I truly am. Goodbye…" On cue, the arm cannon began to power back up and began to glow an unearthly black color. It was aimed directly at the floating Silver soul between you and him.
Suddenly, it stopped and powered down while the click of a switch was heard coming from behind him. Gaster looked down and saw this and began to move their arms to stop what was happening before they, too, stopped working and froze in place. You could hear another female voice behind Gaster, but were unable to see who it belonged to due to the angle.
"T-that's enough M-Mettaton! Override sequence 'EPSILON, UNDYNE, OMEGA, PI'!"
Gaster's arms and legs went completely limp, falling to his knees and dropping you on your legs. You screamed in agony as you landed in this way before falling and laying on your right side. You hear someone rush to your side and pick you up. You look and see that it's Papyrus.
"NEVER FEAR ALEX, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WOULD NEVER ABANDON THEIR FRIEND!" He had a gleam of happiness and relief in his eyes, which turned to worry as they noticed the burning hole in your left leg.
You looked over and saw Undyne walk over to you with worry in her eyes. "Are you ok Alex?"
"I-I'm ok, I guess. I've b-been better!" You find it hard to speak, both from being out of breath and from the pain. You feel exhausted, but are kept wide awake from the pain.
"Oh my gosh! A-are you ok Alex?" You look over and see a short yellow monster that almost resembled a dinosaur. She was wearing a lab coat and a pair of glasses. "We c-came as f-fast as we could. S-sorry about taking so long!"
"It's o-ok… Alphys, is it?"
"Y-yeah, that's me. I-I'm Dr. Alphys."
"…ok. You ca-ame just in time. It's ok."
"Hey, what about this asshole who just attacked Alex and I?!" They all then directed their attention to the now-kneeling robot who was frozen in place and unable to move.
"F-foolish monsters. You-ou are only delaying-ing the inevitable. You cannot-not stop me!"
Although in pain, you can't help but point out what Gaster accidently said because of the errors. "Ha. Ha. So we can't not stop you?! That's. Good to know. Thanks. Gaster."
"IT NICE TO SEE YOUR HUMOR IS UNHARMED FROM THE FIGHT, ALEX!"
Gaster ignored the stupid comment. He didn't find it as amusing as you knew it truely was. "You're all-all so naïve. Don't you-ou know why I'm do-oing this?"
"G-gaster? That… that is Gaster?" Alphys thought aloud. You nodded in response to her question.
"I'm creating-ing more timelines. Many, many-many more timelines. Then, I'll be able to-o 'fix' this one. Don't you-ou see? I'm the savior here. I'm the hero. I'm no-o villain!"
"HEY BUDDY! LISTEN UP! We don't need no 'fixing'. I don't care about this 'timeline' nonsense. What you're doing is unacceptable!" You look over to Alphys and see a face of worry form when he mentioned 'timelines'.
"Alphys, would you do us all a favor and shut this asshole up!"
"With pl-pleasure, Undyne. S-shutdown sequence: 'Mew, Mew, Kissy, Kissy, One.'"
As the glowing began to fade all over Mettaton's body, everyone heard one final sentence be uttered from his lips before fully powering down. "I'll see you soon Alex…"
With the final word soon, every light and display on Mettaton's body faded and turned off. You all stood there in silence for a few moments before everyone turned their attention back to you. A look of worry washed over all of their faces, including Napstablook, who still floated there quietly, as they looked upon your mangled leg.
"D-don't worry. I c-can treat your leg back at m-my lab. It'll be ok… I promise!"
Author's Note
I really, really enjoyed writing this fight scene and all of the dialog accompanying it. I hope you liked reading this! Send me a message or leave a review if you think this was worthy of one. Thanks for taking the time to read this story of mine! I only began writing this because I came up with my own idea of an alternate timeline in which the Neutral Ending was just the beginning and it just blossomed from there. Now, I'm filled with Pure Determination as I continue writing the adventures of Alex and Frisk!
P.S. I'm actually a pretty bad dancer, unlike Alex. I can't do much beyond the Cha-cha slide. And no, I don't need your pity.
