"What do we do then?" Cherry asked Sans as Frisk looked up and down to Katie.
"W-We c-could watch Anime." Alphys spoke up.
Chara scowled as they were ignored
"There's Anime here?" Cherry asked curiously.
Alphys nodded. "I have the Mew Mew Kissy Cutie anime." she smiled, happy someone knew about Anime.
"Junk." Chara muttered.
Cherry's left eye slightly twitched, but she forced a polite smile as her parents had taught her how to do that and she had never even seen this, so maybe it would be good for her.
"W-We can w-watch it on the big screen." Alphys smiled.
"Well, big screens are fun..." Cherry agreed then.
Alphys pulled Cherry along.
"I'll join you in a minute, just going to talk privately to Chara." Sans said.
Chara gulped and looked a little nervous. Cherry walked with Alphys. Frisk looked curiously over to Sans.
"Frisk, kiddo, you go with Cherry." Sans told the kid.
Chara crossed their arms, looking annoyed, but was actually a little worried. Frisk then nodded and went after Cherry like a lost puppy. Sans went to have a talk with Chara.
"H-Hello, young human." Alphys said softly.
Frisk waved to Alphys.
"They, uh, they don't talk much..." Cherry told her about Katie's little cousin who was neither a boy or a girl.
"W-Well, they're cute... Like Mew Mew." Alphys blushed with a happy smile.
Frisk seemed to smile to Alphys.
"Indeed." Cherry agreed.
Alphys smiled nervously, but happily.
"So, what's this Anime about?" Cherry asked as she placed Frisk in between them like in Grillby's with Sans.
Alphys went off into a long rambling explanation of the anime. Cherry nodded as she tried not to interrupt, though this seemed to go on for a while. Alphys looked excited as she talked about it. Frisk just looked stoic as always. Cherry leaned back comfortably. Alphys set the anime playing.
Frisk looked at the screen plainly. Cherry seemed to look the same way right now. Alphys watched excitedly. Cherry was watching curiously as this was her first time after all. Frisk, as usual, said nothing. Alphys was happy to have company for the anime.
"Kinda reminds me of Friendship is Magic in a way." Cherry commented.
Alphys looked confused.
"I'll tell ya later..." Cherry shrugged.
Alphys nodded. Cherry giggled at some parts. Alphys didn't talk much while watching. Cherry followed along the best that she could.
Once the anime had finished, and Sans had come back in with a calm looking Chara, Alphys turned to Cherry. "What did you think?" she asked, excited.
"It was really interesting and colorful..." Cherry replied. "I think I wanna watch more."
Frisk looked over curiously. Alphys gasped happily. Chara looked at Frisk.
"Thanks for letting us give it a try though." Cherry smiled politely to Alphys.
Alphys smiled. Sans had invited Undyne along, with a smirk.
"Do you have any drinks or food?" Cherry asked Alphys. "I feel a little peckish."
"I have some Instant Ramen," Alphys told her. "And I get sodas." she added.
"Mm... That'll do, what kind of soda?" Cherry replied.
Alphys listed off some sodas she had.
"Strawberry~" Cherry smirked at her favorite taste.
Alphys handed her the soda. "Want some noodles?" she asked her.
"I will, Miss Alphys~" Chara said, almost pseudo-sweetly.
"Yes, please." Cherry replied.
Alphys nodded and sorted them all out some stuff to eat and drink. Chara gave a sweet smile. Cherry went over to see if Alphys needed any help. Frisk waited patiently. Alphys smiled, although nervously, to Cherry.
"Do you need some help?" Cherry asked.
"U-Um... I-I don't mind... O-Only if you w-want to." Alphys said with a small smile and nervous blushing.
"I don't mind." Cherry replied as she was more helpful than she led up to be.
Alphys smiled and handed her some of the noodle sachets to sort put in the ramen cups. Chara was looking at Frisk every now and then. Cherry cut the packets and stirred them into the mix as necessary. Frisk looked back at Chara curiously. Alphys added the hot water to each one.
"It's almost like looking in a mirror." Chara smirked.
Cherry took out forks for the noodles since they usually slipped around spoons. Frisk tilted their head at Chara. Alphys smiled and then timed them perfectly. Chara tilted their head too.
"Ah, they always smell so good in the microwave." Cherry commented.
Frisk stood up beside Chara and held out their hands to see if they would copy like a mirror. Alpys looked at her and then giggled slightly. Chara, just for the fun of it, did the same. Sans was watching with his casual smile. Cherry poked her head out and cupped her mouth as this seemed funny. Frisk and Chara kept copying each other.
Alphys glanced too. Chara even copied Frisk's facial expressions, though their cheeks still had the constant rosiness. Cherry giggled to this as Frisk looked entranced by their double in a way. Chara didn't break character as they were actually having fun.
"This is the funniest mistake of my life." Cherry chuckled, referring to coming into Mount Ebott with Katie and Frisk about the accident.
Alphys looked at her. "Wh-What mistake?" she wondered.
"Oh, when we ended up here from our hike." Cherry explained.
Alphys nodded.
"Quite a long story." Cherry told her.
"Oh, I know, I've been watching your progress." Alphys said then blushed as she realized that probably wasn't good according to the humans.
Frisk looked over.
"So you're the one with the cameras." Cherry commented as she spotted a few cameras around the land during her venture with Katie and Frisk.
Alphys blushed, but nodded.
Cherry looked over curiously, then saw something which caught her eye. "You write fan fiction?"
Alphys hurriedly covered it up. "N-No." she tried to deny, very shy about it.
"You wanna know something?" Cherry had a small smirk. "So do I."
Alphys looked at her, surprised. "Really?" she asked.
"When I'm not going on journeys." Cherry nodded in confession.
Alphys smiled.
"I'd show you, but I don't really have anything." Cherry replied.
"Well, I'm not sure if it will, but you could use my computer to see if you can bring some up." Alphys smiled, with a small blush.
"You have a computer?" Cherry replied.
Alphys nodded and showed it to Cherry. Cherry then followed after Alphys while Frisk looked up. Alphys showed her the computer. Cherry smiled at the computer, her eyes glowing as she loved computers.
"I'll just log in so you can use it." Alphys said.
"Thanks, Alphys." Cherry replied.
Alphys smiled and logged onto her computer. Cherry sat down and then logged into her fan fiction account to share with Alphys. Frisk walked over to see what was going on. Alphys stood beside her and waited, jumping when Frisk seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Frisk looked between the two.
"This is Frisk." Cherry told Alphys.
"H-Hi." Alphys said nervously.
Frisk waved.
"He... She... Erm... Frisk doesn't talk much." Cherry told Alphys.
"They know sign language?" Alphys asked.
"Um... Yes, I believe so..." Cherry replied, as Frisk was Katie's cousin and not her own.
Frisk looked to Alphys and Cherry.
Alphys looked nervous a moment but then started to sign in sign language. "Are you dealing with being down here okay?" she asked the kid.
Frisk nodded as they used the sign of approval while Cherry typed on the computer.
Papyrus came to the armored figure almost like a knight who was Undyne. Katie looked a little nervous, standing behind Papyrus for now. Undyne stomped slightly, coming toward Papyrus. Papyrus was nervous himself, but tried to remain competent to impress the knight to become a member of the Royal Guard.
"Please like me..." Katie whispered before Undyne got close enough to hear.
"So, you're friends with a human?" Undyne asked, revealing a rather tomboyish female voice.
"Erm... Well... About that..." Papyrus smiled nervously. "I don't know what to say..."
Katie bit her lip. She decided she would step forward and talk, to keep Papyrus from any trouble. "Hello, you must be The Mighty Undyne..." she said softly, holding out a hand though, hoping she wouldn't just get killed.
"Do you dare challenge me?!" Undyne replied sharply.
Papyrus looked nervous for Katie's safety.
"No, ma'am, I would never be strong enough to even hope of winning against you." Katie told her, holding both hands up then in a sign of peace and that she was unarmed.
Papyrus felt nervous.
"You clearly know a true champ when you see one!" Undyne smirked.
Katie nodded. "Of course, your praises have been sung and I just had to come meet you, with my sweet cinnamon roll... I mean, Papyrus..." she said, blushing a little at her slip up of naming Papyrus.
Papyrus chuckled nervously and sheepishly to the term of endearment.
"I see..." Undyne replied as she took out her spear. "Let's just see how strong and worthy you are against a real guard in action!" she then removed her helmet to reveal a fish head with a ponytail.
Katie looked a little worried. "Uh, I have no weapon... And can we just have this as a little test, please? That way, you can decide if I am to be killed or not?" she requested then, that way at least she wouldn't get killed right away, as apparently, Undyne wanted to kill all humans who fell down there.
"A test?!" Undyne replied.
"Uh, yes, that might be a good idea..." Papyrus quickly agreed.
"Y-Yes, it wouldn't be fair to just fight to attack... It wouldn't give me a chance to prove if I am worthy to live or not." Katie told Undyne, choosing her words carefully.
"Hmm... All right then..." Undyne replied as she then withdrew her sword.
"Uh, do you have a weapon I can borrow?" Katie asked.
"You could use this spare sword." Undyne held out her spare weapon with a dark smirk.
"Thank you." Katie said and took the sword, though nervously. Gladly she had seen enough swashbuckler movies to at least get some knowledge of a sword battle.
"Challenge accepted!" Undyne smirked against Katie.
"Just remember, no killing during this test." Katie reminded, and held the sword defensively first.
"I'll try my best..." Undyne grinned rather darkly.
Katie watched Undyne carefully, holding the sword ready.
"Do you have any fighting experience?" Undyne smirked as she looked ready to battle as always.
"In video games, and watching anime and films and stuff, yeah... In person? Not so much." Katie chuckled nervously.
"HA! What an answer!" Undyne laughed. "But seven human souls are needed so King Asgore will become a god. We have only collected six thus far and through your seventh and final soul, this world will be transformed."
Katie gulped quietly. She didn't know what to say, if she had to choose between saving her friends or living though she would choose to save her friends.
"First, however, as is customary, for those who make it this far," Undyne told Katie gently right now. "I shall tell you the tragic tale of our people."
Katie looked rather nervous.
"It all started long ago," Undyne began. "No, you know what? SCREW IT! WHY SHOULD I TELL THE STORY WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE?! NGHAAAAAAHHHH!"'
