You can't handle it! You shout that this feels awkward and that you don't like it!
"…Uh, oh.. sorry about that, punk!" Undyne responds, a bit taken-aback. "Why didn't you say so in the first place?"
"…F-Frisk… we're sorry…" Alphys says, slouching more than usual. She looks a bit ashamed. "We were… just trying to help…"
You apologize as well. And then you thank them for their thoughtfulness.
"Yeah… guess roleplaying isn't your thing. I bet you work better in the heat of the moment!" Undyne posses dramatically, her tone turning back around again. "I know you, you always stay determined! And so the moment you and Papyrus are alone, you can just swoop right in there and express your deepest, darkest, passionate feelings!"
You flush again, shrugging sheepishly.
"Y-yeah!" Alphys says, trying to be encouraging as well. "You can do it! You've been in more complex situations before. This should be a piece of cake for you!"
You grin widely, happy with your friends' encouragement.
They both pat you on the back.
"Oh! Almost forgot!" Undyne walks over to a bookshelf in the living room and reaches up to the top shelf. She grabs a pretty wrapped box from off the shelf that you hadn't noticed until now. "Here ya go, punk! It's a present from me n' Alphys! We were gonna give it to you later tonight, but maybe you should have it now! It might come in handy…"
You eagerly open the present and peer inside the box. You pull out a bright, red hair ribbon.
"Ta-DAH!" Both Undyne and Alphys chant together. "And it's not just… ANY ribbon…" Alphys continues. "T-try it on!"
You tie the ribbon in your hair and cross it into a pretty bow asymmetrically on the top of your head.
You feel your charm go up +2.
You feel your cuteness go up +3.
You feel your courage go up +5.
"Not bad, not bad!" Undyne comments, nodding with approval. Now you can use this to your advantage tonight against Papyrus!"
You shoot her a look in alarm. You ask 'why tonight'?
"DUUUHHH! C'mon, punk! Isn't it obvious?"
"Y-yeah, Frisk!" Alphys says, her face flushing with excitement. "Don't you see? Today is your birthday! And Papyrus will probably have something special planned for you and this will be the perfect chance to catch him alone and confess your love and maybe then he will confess his secret love for you and you will embraces in each other's arms slowly inching towards each other's faces and-" She stops when she sees your face turning into a neon pink light bulb. "I… heh… Anything could happen?"
You have a weird feeling that she might have written this as one of her many real-life based fan-fictions…
"But you have to tell him tonight! It's just too much of a perfect set-up! Don't waste this opportunity, punk!" Undyne demands, rather menacingly.
You feel like you have no choice, otherwise you will greatly disappoint your friends.
…
With one last grateful thanks for the birthday gift and the helpful advice, you take off with a farewell.
"See ya later tonight, punk!" Undyne waves.
"Bye-bye! Good luck tonight!" Alphys calls.
