Alphys POV

"Which popcorn do you think she prefers?" I ask Undyne.

"I dunno," she walks over. "I have a solution."

She whips out another bowl and pours a heaping portion of salted popcorn into one and an equally large stack of sweet popcorn into the other.

"I hope her favourite popcorn isn't toffee..." I mumble.

I walk over to the DVD player and pick up the Mew Mew Kissy Cutie case and fumble to open it. Darn... these... stupid... claws...

"Having trouble babe?" Undyne asks.

"I'm just-" I frown at the case. "My hands are-"

She picks the case up and says

"Well I know a way of opening cases which ALWAYS works!"

She pulls out her spear.

"Undyne!" I cry. "Stop!"

She stops just before the tip of her spear has penetrated the poor box.

"Ok," she blushes. "Maybe we won't use the spear..."

She opens it with her hands and passes the disk to me. I put it in the DVD player and pause the film. The microwave bleeps from the other room.

"I'll get it!" Undyne pulls out her spear.

"Your spear isn't the answer to everything," I grin shyly.

"Of course it is!" She picks me up with ease and swings me around in the air. "It's almost as perfect as a certain adorable, nerdy lizard I know."

I squeak with delight as she swoops me around, my dress (which I save specifically for dorky nights eating popcorn and watching anime) swirls around my stubby little feet. Undyne really makes me feel like a princess. I'm not quite sure how she does it, but she succeeds anyway. I wish I was as cool and strong and talented as her. There's a knock on the door, making us both jump, and Undyne puts me down gently to open it. She looks really cute in her leather jacket and jeans. I could never pull off something like that.

"Hiya punk!" She exclaims as Finch stands shyly in front of the door.

"Hey!" She replies in her small, edgy voice.

"Neat jacket!" Undyne grins at Finch's denim-sleeved hoodie.

She wore a turtleneck when I first met her, whenever I wear turtlenecks, I always end up looking like I'm being born all over again.

"Thanks," she grins.

She walks in and I shuffle to the end of the couch. Undyne grabs the popcorn and walks in.

"How are we all going to fit?" Finch curiously points out a factor which I hadn't considered.

"Simple!" Undyne exclaims.

She walks over to me, lifts me up and puts me on her lap. Finch sits down next to us and I flush, beaming. I grab the remote and un-pause the television.

"It's called Mew Mew Kissy Cutie," I explain. "It's my favourite anime!"

"Want some popcorn babe?" Undyne asks.

I nod and she picks up some sweet popcorn- which she knows to be my favourite- and holds it out for me. I eat it from her fingers and blush when I spot Finch staring.

"Sorry," she grins. "I just never imagined how cute you'd be together!"

"Says you," Undyne raises her eyebrows. "So how's Bone Boy doing?"

"It's not like that," she flushes, her cheeks going red. "We're just friends."

"With benefits," Undyne adds.

"Friends."

"Shh!" I shush them as the first bit of narration begins.

The anime is great, obviously (I mean it is Mew Mew Kissy Cutie after all) and apparently, Finch has NEVER tried popcorn before now! The salted flavour is her favourite, I know Undyne prefers the salted flavour- sea salt if possible- though her favourite bit is to crunch on those half popped popcorn bits at the bottom of the bowls. The story of MMKC is great and Finch enjoyed it, she especially seemed to appreciate the music. It sounds electronic-ish and reminds me of marimbas, but Finch says that it was played in on a keyboard.

"I think there's probably a Mew Mew CD back in the shop," Undyne ponders. "There's a sale where you get online music purchasing website songs seventy five percent off if you've bought the CD."

"I think I can just scan it into my computer and transfer it," Finch squints. "But that sounds great!"

My phone buzzes and a weeaboo ringtone begins to play. I pick it up and look at my texts.

Mettaton: WHICH TOWN IS YOUR ONE AGAIN DARLING?

Alphys: Ulkmena, why?

Mettaton: THE LIVE SHOW'S BEEN EXPEDITED. SEE YOU IN ABOUT A WEEK DARLING!

Alphys: That's great!

"Mettaton's show's been moved forward!" I explain excitedly. "He's coming to town soon!"

"I appreciate his lifestyle," Undyne shrugs. "But he gets on my nerves. It'll be nice for Finch to meet him though."

"I think Papyrus is pretty eager to meet him," Finch grins.

"Is he now?" Undyne looks up, a mischievous glint in her eye.

She takes out her phone to I suppose tease Papyrus.

"You trying to point the limelight away from you and a certain skeleton?" I smirk.

"No!" She stutters. "I've told you two a billion times, there's nothing you don't know about going on between us. Besides, the real limelight is on you two."

"True," Undyne laughs. "True."
