Once Steven and Pearl got down the stairs, Pearl kept Steven close to her when she saw Undyne. Undyne got up and walk up beside Sans. Sans whisper something in Undyne's ear and she nods saying "great idea!" Pearl gave Sans a curious look. Steven however wanted to meet Undyne but Pearl kept him back. Sans look at Pearl saying "hey, let's uh… talk outside and leave these two be." Pearl look at Steven then at Undyne. Sans whisper "it's okay, she promise to not harm the kid no more." Pearl sighs saying "fine, not too long." Pearl walk out of the house with Sans leaving Steven and Undyne alone in the living room. Steven smiled at Undyne saying "nice to meet you. I'm Steven Universe." Undyne turn saying "nice name. Shay, you wanna do something fun?" Steven nods saying "sure do!" Undyne grab Steven's wist and the two of them ran into the kitchen.
Steven ask when he and Undyne got into the kitchen, "what are we going to do?" Undyne said "well since now we're going to best buddies, I thought to teach you how to cook spaghetti." Steven eyes grew even wider than before. Undyne grab the pan and the noodles from the counter. She slam them on the table and then grab her blue spear not far from the stove saying "now this is my way of cooking." Steven never seen anyone cooking with a spear before but since Undyne says that this was going to be fun. It must be fun. Undyne put the pan on the stove then grab the box of noodles and poor all the noodles on the stove. She grab the spear and threw it at the table which made Steven jump a little. "Come on beastie" Undyne encourage "let's get this cookin." Steven nods saying "yeah, let's do this." Truthfully Steven began to like how Undyne cooking lesson was different and fun.
Meanwhile Sans use his shortcut magic for him and Pearl to go back to the river. Sans sat down and said "anyways uh… I know I told you about the king and the six souls but um… I really didn't tell you the real reason why the king did it. Did I?" Pearl shook her head saying "no you really didn't". Sans sighs saying "well I short of mention about Asriel but uh… you see Asriel was the king's and queen's only son. That is till a first human child fell down here, their name is Chara. So with a heavy heart the king and queen took the kid in. Even Asriel liked being around with Chara." Sans look down and his eyes pupil disappear. Pearl wonder why Sans was acting the way he was but Sans looked back up at Pearl with his pupils still disappear. "Chara died not long after that, everyone was sad especially Asriel. So one day Asriel consumed Chara's soul and went up to the surface. He wanted to reason with the humans that we're not that all bad. He was wrong. The humans attack him with every force and wounded him. He return but died right in front of his parents on a bed of golden flowers. He was turned to dust."
Sans sighed and Pearl ask "so is that why the king wanted to take the humans souls for?" Sans nods and continue "not long after Asriel's death, the queen had seen the king take the first human soul. She was furious and didn't want to help in the king's plan. So she was never seen no more. Now the king is lonely and wants revenge for his son. I feel bad for the guy really." Pearl sighs saying in a soft tone "I know how he feels." Sans look up at Pearl and ask "you missed Rose don't ya?" Pearl nods saying "I do. She and I had fought in wars and battles together. It was like an endless dream. Now, she's gone and I have to be there for him." Sans sighs asking "so what happen to her?" Pearl look up and sighs saying "it's hard to understand and I don't recommend to talk about it. All I could say is that she gave up herself for Steven to be here with us. She met this man name Greg and she fell in love with him. I never thought that she'll give up everything for him." Sans look back down in the water as well did Pearl.
Back in Unydne's house, the two was making a horrible mess in the kitchen. There was lots of noodles on the walls and the pot was boiling over. Undyne grab a tomato from the refrigerator saying "okay, I want you to smash this tomato like you really mean it." Steven look at the tomato and said with a shrug "uh… okay." Steven put his hands together and crack every finger of his hands then took a deep breath. He made both of his hands into a fist and raise up over his head. Steven look at the tomato for a moment then he lower his arms down fast and tried to smash the tomato. Sadly he was too soft to hit the tomato. Undyne look at the tomato saying "hm… not enough strength. Well step side bestie, let me show you how this is done." Steven step aside and Undyne made her left hand into a fist and raise it up high. She quickly pound her fist on the table and smashed the tomato. The tomato went all over her and Steven's face. "Ha" she exclaimed, "that's how it's suppose to be done!" Steven said "wow, you really do have a lot of strength." Undyne turn to Steven saying "well of course I do. I am Undyne head leader of the royal guards." Steven laughs a little.
Steven smell smoke and turn to see the pot was ready to explode. "Ah Undyne…" said Steven, "I think the pot of spaghetti is about to explode." Undyne turn and saw that Steven was right. "Oh shoot, let's get out of here." Undyne pick Steven up and carry him under her arm and ran as fast as she could. Just as they got out of the house, the house exploded into flames. "Shit" thought Undyne, "looks like I might have to go with Alphys for a while."
Pearl and Sans were interrupted by the sound of huge "kaboom!" Pearl ask concerned "what was that?" Sans gulp saying "we better go make sure that wasn't Undyne's house." Pearl yell in panic "what?!" Sans grab Pearl's hand and they both teleported to Undyne's house, both of them seeing the house being burn down in flames. Pearl gasp and yelled for Steven, she and Sans turn to see Undyne holding Steven under her arm walking towards them. Sans cross his arms asking "you overcook yourselves again?" Undyne shrugs saying "just cooking lessons that's all." Undyne put Steven down so he can reunite with Pearl again. Pearl look up at Undyne giving a nasty glare. Undyne didn't look at Pearl only towards Sans. Sans look at the house as he put his hands in his pockets. "Boy Unydne, you really cooking your house up." Undyne growl saying "shut up bone head."
Pearl rolls her eyes at Sans with Steven trying not to laugh. Undyne sighs saying "I better clean up. Why don't you guys go ahead and go to Alphys' place. I'd meet you guys there." Sans wink saying "sure thing see ya there. Just don't roast you house to pieces." Undyne growl saying "ah… you're impossible Sans." Sans wave his hand to Pearl and Steven to follow him. Steven walk right behind Sans while Pearl walk behind Steven. Undyne grab a watering hose and began to spray her house down with water. Pearl came up beside Steven and said "we're going to Alphys house." Sans nods saying "more like a lab. Since she's the royal scientist and works for Asgore." Sans turn to see Pearl's concerned expression however Steven asked "does she makes things?" Sans look at Steven saying "she sure does. Though there is one I don't care for but my bro adores him." Steven tilts his head in confusion. Sans sighs saying "come on, I'm sure you both would like her."
Steven exclaim in excitement "this is going to be great!" Pearl gave a small smile at Steven but yet concerned of what Alphys would do to Steven. Sans turn to Pearl saying "don't worry. I'm sure Alphys won't harm the kid." Pearl smiled a little saying "I hope so." Sans wink saying "I got my eye sockets on you two." Pearl smiles at Sans as they continue to go towards Hotlands.
