Fanboys and fangirls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Well, you'll get it… it's a PTA Undertale fanfic! Yay!

There's a writing group at my college that I've been going to, and I wrote this out in an hour. I hope you like it. See you at the bottom of the page.

Chapter 26: Education Level: Halloween

"…And that is why my DUMMY of a secretary is nowhere near as competent as my cousin was. It's stupid, stupid, STUPID!" Mad Dummy kicked his base around in the air angrily.

Linda sighed, Napstablook wept softly, and Mettaton EX filed his imaginary nails. "It's been months, cousin," he said. "The school board isn't going to change their mind about that any time soon. Of course," he looked at Linda with half lidded eyes. "It probably could have been avoided if someone hadn't complained."

"It was a literal dummy," Linda snapped.

"I'm a literal dummy!" Mad Dummy shrieked.

"Yes, but you're… sentient."

"My cousin was perfectly sentient! They just don't like talking! Is that really such a crime to you humans?"

"Frisk is a human and they don't talk…" Napstablook pointed out.

"I wasn't talking to you, idiot!"

"Mad Dummy…" Mettaton warned.

Mad Dummy sighed. "Whatever, whatever, WHATEVER! Why are we even here again?"

Linda huffed and set the file she had on Mad Dummy's desk. She could hear the new secretary muttering to himself outside the counselor's office. "The school board has asked for the three of you to help with a… project that the younger students have been asking for." She opened the file and passed around the three copies of an advertisement.

"A Halloween party?" Mettaton raised an eyebrow at the mother. "Why do we need to help?"

"It's more than a party." Linda tapped the third line on the paper. "The Kindergarten teachers and students want to host an information party where they have dietarily friendly treats and learn about the history of Halloween. We want you three to help with the education portion."

"…Why?" Napstablook asked quietly.

Linda blanked. "Um, because… you're ghosts?"

Mettaton sighed and put a hand to his forehead. "Linda, darling… just because we're ghosts doesn't mean we know everything about Halloween."

"Correct!" Mad Dummy shouted. "I would kick you out of my office if I had feet!"

"Let's not get violent," Linda said, inching towards the door. "Besides, it wasn't my idea… entirely. It was the school board, namely Mr. Otto."

"We've got to do something about him," Mettaton muttered.

"I told you not to get violent!" Linda snapped the file shut. "The point is, there're a lot of students who want real ghosts to tell them about the history of Halloween and scary stories. Not too scary, obviously."

"I don't know any ghost stories…" Napstablook said. "Sorry…"

"Blooky is right, Linda," Mettaton said, crossing his legs. "In all my years of being a ghost, the only 'scary stories' I've heard are about humans, and are probably not the best thing to share with children."

"Then why don't you tell them that?" Linda snapped. "Tell them that not all ghosts are about being scary and that there are other ways to learn about Halloween!"

…

Linda looked warily at the three ghosts. "…What?" she asked.

"That's… actually not a bad idea, Linda," Mettaton said. Napstablook bobbed up and down slowly.

"It's possible, possible, POSSIBLE… that you have come up with a good idea," Mad Dummy said. Linda glared at him.

Mettaton pulled out a hot pink pen and began scribbling on his advertisement. "'Halloween from the Perspective of Ghosts,'" he muttered, "featuring real ghosts… and a performance by Mettaton and Co."

"That sounds nice," Napstablook said quietly. "And maybe some real ghost snacks?"

"Humans can't eat ghost snacks, DUMMY," Mad Dummy snapped. Mettaton reached over and flicked him on the head.

"We can ask for spider snacks from Muffet to go with the theme," Linda offered slowly.

"Good, Linda, that's very good… and what else…?"

And the four of them spent the next half hour planning the best party those Kindergarteners ever saw.

Head Canon I Don't Actually Think #31: Mettaton became famous very quickly once out of the Underground, and he helps finance all of the Monster Schools and the Monster x Human School, which totals to almost as much money as the government.

Was this good? I only had an hour to work on it, so I hope you liked it.

I won't say much more, as meeting time is over and I have to wake up early, but there's a poll on my profile. Please take a look. I'll see you in the future, hopefully.

Also, that BatIM twist… hoo boy.
