MTT's New Year's Bash

Mettaton's party was not at his apartment. The multitude of guests would not even have fit in his apartment. The party was at a downtown club and there were too many people to count. Of course there were a couple of familiar faces that were considered VIP's: Papyrus, Alphys, Undyne, Napstablook, Shyren and a few others. But most of the guests crowded together in a jumping and dancing sea of faceless monsters and humans.

Waitresses and waiters walked around clad in high heels and sequin suits, offering a never-ending supply of pink champagne. Mettaton hired anybody that had a bright smile and an affinity for dressing up, so his staff was made up of humans and monsters alike.

"I do like these pink bubbles," Papyrus said happily, taking another sip. "We had them at your last party too, I remember."

"If you remember you didn't drink enough of it, darling," Mettaton winked. "But you do hold your alcohol remarkably well."

"Yeah, you wouldn't think it of him, would ya?" Undyne grinned, downing her second glass. "But Pap could probably drink most of us under the table!"

Alphys wasn't drinking, she knew she'd be drunk after half a glass and she was too afraid of embarrassing herself. She was looking around rather nervously as it was.

"Honey, would you relax?" Undyne said, putting an arm around her.

"P-people are, looking at us," Alphys muttered.

"They are looking at us for two reasons," Undyne said loudly, snatching another glass of champagne off a nearby tray. "First of all because we're with these two cape wearing dorks." She pointed at Papyrus, who was sporting his red cape and Mettaton, whose silver cape would have reached to the floor had it not been for his stiletto boots. "And second of all," Undyne continued. "Because we are easily the cutest and coolest couple in here."

Alphys flushed and Undyne gave her a big smooch on her face.

"Alphys! Undyne!"

They turned around to see where the excited yelling came from. It was Bratty and Catty.

"H-hi girls," Alphys laughed and she hugged them.

"Omigod, this is like, the best party," Bratty gushed.

"The best party ever," Catty agreed.

"Well, if you girls are enjoying it, it was all worth it," Mettaton said turning around with a flourish.

Bratty and Catty giggled loudly and shot each other an excited look.

"You two are enjoying yourselves, right?" he smiled.

"Totes!" Bratty cried.

"Yes!" Catty said. "Except…"

"Except what, darling?" Mettaton asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Except I saw Burgerpants earlier," Catty said. "And he gave me a glamburger, which is like, awesome, but I asked if he would dance with me and he said no because he has to work."

"Well, I am paying him to work the burger station," Mettaton said.

"But it is New Year's Eve," Papyrus said cheerfully. "And this is a party!"

"Hard to argue with that," Mettaton laughed, he looked out over the top of the crowd until he spotted Burgerpants.

He was trudging around with a big tray of freshly grilled burgers.

"Burgy!" Mettaton cried out. "Come over here!"

Burgerpants flinched when he heard Mettaton's voice call his name.

"Yes…" he said, pushing towards him through the crowd.

"Put that tray down," Mettaton ordered. "You're on break now."

"I'm what?" Burgerpants repeated in astonishment.

"You're on break," Mettaton repeated. "So put a smile on that grumpy, furry face and go dance with this cutie of a kitten."

Catty beamed at Burgerpants and he turned so bright red it was visible through his fur.

"I'll take that," Undye said, taking the tray of burgers out of his paws. "I'm starving!"

"Run along," Mettaton said, pushing Burgerpants in Catty and Bratty's direction.

Burgerpants followed Catty onto the dancefloor, looking equal parts mortified and excited. Bratty rolled her eyes at Alphys. Undyne laughed her loud, brash laugh and Mettaton looked very pleased with himself.

"Is it nearly time for your performance?" Papyrus asked eagerly, shouting to be heard over the loud music.

"Oh gosh, yes!" Mettaton exclaimed. "Gotta ring in the new year don't we!"

The club space had a stage for live performances, but at the moment the curtain was still closed. Now Papyrus had reminded Mettaton this would last long however. After a couple more songs the dance music was abruptly turned off and the curtains slowly opened, accompanied by a strong guitar riff. Everybody turned to the stage and when the percussion started and Mettaton screamed into the microphone the audience screamed in turn.

"Gotta leave town
Got another appointment
Spent all my rent
Girl you know I enjoyed it!"

Mettaton strutted around the stage and threw off his cape dramatically. His musicians cranked up the volume as he roared into the chorus:

"Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
That's all that I need…!"

Everybody jumped up and down in time with the music. Undyne danced with Alphys until she was completely out of breath. While she rested a bit Undyne and Papyrus danced with each other. They danced so violently and athletically that the rest of the dancers made sure to stay out of their way. When the next song started Alphys joined in again. She waved at Catty, who was dancing with Bratty and Burgerpants.

"There's time for one more song before the big count down darlings!" Mettaton's voice boomed through the club. "So sing along and just in case I forget to tell you later: HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

This is a bit silly and a bit short (I wrote it in one sitting), but I hope you guys liked it anyway!

The song Mettaton preforms is "Cold Hard Bitch" by the Australian band Jet. I couldn't find a New Year's eve song cool enough for Mettaton and this song just popped in my head (I think metal and rock suits Mettaton, he's a real glamrocker in my mind).

Danny, I hope this was a fabulous enough Mettaton performance for you and I threw Burgerpants in there just for you ;).
